1 The Global Positioning System II Field Experiments 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-1

2 Mexico DGPS Field Campaign Cenotes in Tamaulipas, MX, near Aldama 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-2

3 Are Cenote Water Levels Related? 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-3

4 DGPS Static Survey of Cenote Water Levels 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-4

5 Determining Orthometric Heights Ortho. Height = H.A.E. Geoid Height Height above MSL (Orthometric height) H.A.E. Earth Surface Geoid height = H.A.E. Geoid Ellipsoid Geoid Height 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-5

6 Determining Orthometric Heights Ortho. Height = (H.A.E. Geoid Height) Need: 1) Ellipsoid model GRS80 NAVD88 reference stations: HARN (+ 2 cm), CORS (+ ~2 cm) 2) Geoid model GEOID99 ( + 5 cm for US) Procedure: Base receiver at reference station, rover at point of interest a) measure HAE, apply DGS corrections b) subtract local Geoid Height 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-6

7 Sources of Error Geoid error model less well constrained in areas of few gravity measurement NAVD88 error benchmark stability, measurement errors GPS errors need precise ephemeri, tropospheric delay model, equipment (antennae should be same for base and rover) 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-7

8 Static Carrier-phase solutions obtained by: Commercial post-processing software e.g. Trimble Pathfinder office Web-based services Automated Gipsy JPL/NASA - global SCOUT Scripps, UCSB - global OPUS NGS (US and territories) All services require files in RINEX format 10/10/2013 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 5-8
