CSRC Leveraged Support
6
SCEC support to SOPAC for SCIGN
These funds for data archive, analysis, and site
maintenance will end in 2006, and most probably
will not be renewed as SCEC II transitions to
SCEC III.
7
UNAVCO/SCEC support to SOPAC for SCIGN to PBO
transition
These funds for data archive and site maintenance
will taper off in 2006-2007. Half of SCIGN sites
to transition to PBO. Other half to be maintained
by USGS, SOPAC, and Local Agencies.
8
NASA/JPL funding to SOPAC
This project is directly supporting real-time GPS
infrastructure in southern California, has one
more year of funding
This project is supporting the development of
next-generation SCIGN IT infrastructure, and is a
direct benefit to CSRC (not included a similar
amount to JPL, which also benefits CSRC)

San Diego County PBO Prototype
Five PBO sites in San Diego County will be
upgraded to high-rate real-time streaming
capability as a PBO prototype - first 2 sites to
be upgraded over the next few weeks
23
Status Southern California Upgrades
Real-time RTCM data are streamed by SOPAC in CSRC
Epoch 2004.0 ITRF coordinates, and refer to the
geodetic marker.

Other leveraged funds
This long-lived project also funded through the
NOAA/JIMO program for SOPAC to compute
near-real-time orbits in support of NOAAs GPS
Meteorology program for short-term weather
forecasting
Finally, SIO licenses the RTD software package
from Geodetics Inc. on an annual basis (since
2003). This is of benefit to the CSRC community,
by providing real-time access to data. The same
licensing terms are available to SOPAC/CSRC
collaborators in California. The only condition
is free public access to real-time data.

FY 05 Appropriations FY05-06 SOW

• Nov. 21, 2004 Received news that FY 05 Height
  Mod funds to California cut by 50 to 500,000.
• Dec. 22, 2004 Received FY05-06
  recommendations of Work Plan Committee (Don
  DOnofrio, Chair, Fasha Eskandari, Marti Ikehara,
  Cecilia Whitaker, Larry Fenske). Included
  recommendations for projected CSRC budget
  surplus.
• January, 19, 2005 Significant SIO efforts to
  undo allocation fail, including discussions with
  various Congressional offices and Director of NOS
  (Richard Spinrad). NGS agrees to provide full
  500,000 to CSRC (no 10 tax) and to consider
  additional projects up to 100,000.
• February 28, 2005 Final SOW and Budget prepared
  for NOAA (500,000) and submitted to JIMO.
• SIO is trying to leverage the FY05 shortfall to
  increase our FY06 allocation to make up the
  shortfall, and set a precedent for future years.
  We are also making a new effort at the state
  level.
• Budget surplus still an outstanding issue

Working Group Recommendations

FY05-06 Research Objectives

• What is the proper observation mix to maintain a
  modern height network, and how should these
  measurements be optimally combined? Observation
  types include continuous GPS (CGPS), field GPS
  surveys at passive monuments, spirit leveling,
  and gravity surveys.
• What is the proper mix of geoid models and local
  corrector surfaces, in converting from
  GPS-determined geodetic heights to orthometric
  heights? What interpolation methods will provide
  the optimal corrector surfaces?
• Can we apply and enhance modern IT methods to
  provide timely access to height modernization
  information?
• How does one develop and implement a precise GIS
  for the purposes of height modernization?
• How can real-time (RT) CGPS networks, such as
  those being created in California, be best used
  to directly support height modernization and
  spatial referencing?

Caltrans Service Contract to SIO/CSRC
September 1, 2005 - August 31, 2007

• CSRC shall provide services, as requested and
  directed by Caltrans and agreed to by CSRC.
  Specific tasks shall include, but not be limited
  to the following
• Participate in geodetic surveys to establish and
  maintain the National Spatial Reference System
  (NSRS) in cooperation with the National Geodetic
  Survey (NGS), Caltrans and others within
  California. Process, adjust, and format Global
  Positioning System (GPS) and other geodetic
  survey data and enter the data into the CSRC
  database and submit the data to NGS for inclusion
  in the NSRS.
• Develop time-tagged geodetic coordinates and
  station velocities for stations included in the
  CSRC database and/or the NSRS.
• Provide assistance and support for the
  establishment of Continuous Global Positioning
  System (CGPS) installations, also known as
  Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS),
  specific to Caltrans needs.
• Provide assistance and support for the
  establishment of real-time Global Positioning
  System (GPS) networks specific to Caltrans
  needs.
• Assist in the development and implementation of
  project related survey standards, specifications,
  and procedures in such areas as real-time GPS
  survey procedures and GPS determined elevations.
• Assist in the development of procedures to
  establish and maintain basic vertical control
  networks in areas of uplift or subsidence.
• Assist in the development of transportation
  surveying applications, guidelines, and
  procedures for utilizing Continuous Global
  Positioning System (CGPS) stations. If
  appropriate, provide training to Caltrans surveys
  staff on these guidelines and/or procedures.
• Assist in determining the effects of tectonic
  movement (secular and episodic) on stations in
  the CSRC database and/or NSRS, including resurvey
  requirements, extent, and procedures to
  compensate for the effects.
• Develop and conduct training sessions or
  workshops on the above topics (If applicable) and
  other geodetic survey-related topics for Caltrans
  surveys staff.
