Work Plan

Work Plan

At the Fall Coordinating Council meeting a Work Plan Committee was formed. Members of the committee included Dave Stone (chair), Don D’Onofrio, Larry Fenske, Greg Helmer and Marti Ikehara. In late 2002, the Work Plan Committee requested that interested parties and groups help them develop a plan for FY03/04. Individuals were asked to fill out and submit a "Priority Survey" to the Committee with their ideas of CSRC goals and available funding. The individual responses were tallied and compiled into the "Priority Survey Summary", which was used to provide guidance and direction to the Council in prioritizing its goals for the upcoming year.

Work Plan

The summary is available for download at: http://csrc.ucsd.edu/input/csrc/workPlanPrioritySurveySummary.pdf

and the FY03/04 Work Plan is available at:http://csrc.ucsd.edu/input/csrc/csrcWorkPlan2003_04.pdf.

 

The Work Plan served as the basis for the CSRC FY04 (July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004) funding proposal that was submitted to NGS on April 2, 2003.

Some Highlights

CSRC Data Portal

CSRC Data Portal map with new map interface displaying all CORS and HPGN sites from 1998 and 2000 (post-Hector Mine earthquake) adjustments performed by the CSRC for Caltrans.

CSRC Data Portal

Example of the use of the new SOPAC map interface to locate CORS and GPS monument locations in Northern California within a 100 km radius of the map center. Map generated by SOPAC’s GSAC Center, which is accessible through the CSRC Data Portal. CSRC is the first major client of GSAC.

CSRC Data Portal

Location of height modernization monuments and CORS (CGPS stations) in Yolo County, Contra Costa County, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Map generated by SOPAC’s GSAC Map Interface.

CSRC Data Portal

In this example, a GSAC user locates all passive monuments and BARD sites in a 20 km radius about the map center (in Contra Costa County).

SECTOR

Ground Subsidence

CSRC Master Plan On March 12, 2003, CSRC received notice from NGS that the Master Plan for a Modern Geodetic Control Network is “fully acceptable to NGS”.

Copies of the final Master Plan are available on the CSRC website at http://csrc.ucsd.edu/input/csrc/csrcMasterPlan.pdf

Distribution of plan to new partners (e.g., Earthscope/PBO).

OCRTN Overview Streaming raw high-rate (1 sec) GPS data from 10 (soon 12) continuously

operating reference sites (CORS) to central facility in Santa Ana. These data are available to anyone in raw (MBEN) or RINEX formats for post-processing.

Generating and making available real-time data (1-2 s latency) via the wireless Internet to anyone at no cost (free) for real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying and various forms of dynamic positioning in Orange County.
