  2. Topics 1.CORS/CGPS in CA 2. Geoid12A 3.Datum Tags/Epochs 4.New Datasheet format 5.Advisor Program 6.Educational tools/services Demonstrations: VDATUM, v3.1 (-122 12.2, 373737) DSWorld

  3. As Of 6/ 6/ 12

  4. New CORS in CA CSRC requested about 130 of the CRTN backbone sites to become NGS CORS; some already were Essentially all but a handful were added to NGS CORS network in 2nd quarter, 2012 PBO Time Series Website Awesome http://pbo.unavco.org/data/gps/plotviewer/P334/GPS

  5. GEOID12A Development • Model is BASED on ellipsoid heights published from NA2011 project • Proposed stations, different than for GEOID09, for inclusion/exclusion were distributed to geodetic advisors for review & acceptance/rejection; eg, because location in subsidence area • OPUS-DB results are included • To improve future geoid modeling • Collect GPS data on leveled BMs which are likely to have been stable since they were leveled (1988)

  6. GEOID12A Error Grid DRAFT, mid-Jan 2013

  7. NGS Datum Tags/Epoch Dates, Transforms Transforms in development, mostly for batch files for mapping purposes (GIS): NAD83 (2011) to NAD83 (2007) NAD83 (2007) to most recent significant adjustment (98) NAD83 (1998) to NAD83 (1992)*

  8. HTDP, currently v. 3.2.3 • 4th option: Interactively transform positions between reference frames and/or dates. • Epoch date format now includes deci-year • All NAD83 realizations are treated the same • Datum tag/epoch usage Start with NAD83(2011) 2010.00 as constraints in adjustment, Utilize HTDP to translates to epoch desired, Produce NAD83(2011) 2004.50 coordinates, for example

  10. DSWorld: mapping tool and more • Need to have Google Earth installed • Tools, Download PC Software, USER-CONTRI-BUTED SOFTWARE, DSWorld • http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PC_PROD/PARTNERS/index.shtml • FIRST: Tools, Update program • Enhancement enables you to distinguish VERTCON NAVD88 from other(control) NAVD88

  11. Datums available in VDATUM

  12. VDATUM tips • Must choose Height rather than Sounding • Must choose Ht for Source AND Target • Longitude shown before latitude • Must use – for longitude Improvements: Do not need to select geographic model region More streamlined interface for user Horizontal/geometric transformations also

  13. The Changing Face of the Geodetic Advisor Program What are we not? Geodentists… • How is it changing? We are… • Baby boomers! Aging…Retiring • Fewer cooperative partners (states) can justify the financial agreement • Recommendation from some many years ago was for Fedgov to fully fund Advisor program • Advisors to be located at NOAA or Fed office

  14. The Changing Face of the Geodetic Advisor Program, Geography • Provide equal service to non-coop states • REGIONALIZATION • 15 advisors total for 50 states, PR, Pacific islands • Regions being discussed in NGS Advisory Group Ross.Mackay@noaa.gov is Chair (SAB Chief) • Situated in a city with decent airport! • Proposal includes “State Coordinator” as POC • Transition in next 4 years, with attrition
