  1. National Readjustment Donald.Mulcare@noaa.gov Geodesist, Texas State Advisor National Geodetic Survey Texas Society of Professional Surveyors October 2007

  2. NATIONAL READJUSTMENT • WHAT? • WHY • HOW • WHEN • POST • QUESTIONS

  3. NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM • A component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) - http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html • Contains all geodetic control contained in the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Integrated Data Base: • Horizontal and vertical control points • Geoid models such as GEOID 03 • Gravity • Precise GPS orbits • Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) • National Shoreline data as observed by NGS • Standards and Specifications for data submittal

  4. NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM • MULTIPURPOSE – Supports Geodesy, Geophysics, Land Surveying, Navigation, Mapping, Charting and GIS • ACTIVE – Accessible through Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) and derived products • INTEGRATED – Related to International services and standards (e.g. International Earth Rotation Service, International GPS Service etc.) • DOCUMENTED – Complete metadata is provided for elements.

  25. Difference is: DN = -0.644 (m) DE = +0.712 (m) DU = 1.195 (m)

  26. IMPROVING POSITIONAL ACCURACY TIME NETWORK LOCAL NETWORK SPAN ACCURACY ACCURACY NAD 27 1927-1986 10 METERS (1 part in 100,000) NAD83(86) 1986-1990 1 METER (1 part in 100,000) HARN 1990-1997 0.1 METER B-order (1.0 ppm) A-order (0.1 ppm) CORS 1996 - 0.01 meter 0.01 meter

  27. Reasons for Readjustment • Multiple epoch dates • Inconsistencies between states • Need to be Consistent with CORS • Compute Network and Local accuracies September 24, 2003 NGS Executive Steering Committee approved a plan for the readjustment of the horizontal positions and ellipsoid heights for GPS stations in the contiguous United States. Orthometric Height adjustment will not be attempted

  28. What about Orthometric Heights? • Decision was made not to perform a National Readjustment of orthometric heights at this time • Control = NAVD 88 not the CORS • Since no change in control most orthometric elevations would not change significantly • Network & Local Accuracy numbers for the orthometric heights would be the primary reason for readjustment • Would require relevant network accuracies for the NAVD 88 network-This would require a complete analysis of the NAVD 88 network

  29. Heights h – H – N = 0 + errors in components

  32. Geoid Modeling Issues • The new ellipsoid heights will be used in the next hybrid geoid model. • Future efforts will center on improvements to our gravity data. • NGS has acquired an airborne gravity meter. • We plan a comprehensive set of observations to capture gravity throughout the United States and our possessions. • Airborne gravity data supplements terrestrial and satellite based gravity.
