CSRC Director’s Report Yehuda Bock and Susie Pike Humphrey CSRC Coordinating Council Spring Meeting PG&E Headquarters San Francisco May 16, 2003
California Spatial Reference Center “Providing California’s geodetic framework for scientific, surveying, engineering, and geographic information systems” Mandate Building on Existing Science Infrastructure: • Provide the necessary geodetic services to ensure the availability of accurate, consistent, and timely spatial referencing data. • Monitor temporal changes in geodetic coordinates due to tectonic motion, volcanic deformation and land subsidence. • Establish the legal spatial reference system for California.

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.
Work Plan • Perform Outreach • Perform User Assistance and Education • Develop Orthmetric Adjustment Procedures • Operate and Maintain CSRC CORS • Establish NAVD88 on CSRC CORS • Implement CSRC Master Plan
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).
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. Some Uses • Public and Private Surveying ** • Precise GIS ** • Emergency Response • Police Work • Intelligent Transportation ** • Aircraft Navigation • Bridge and Dam Deformation ** • Geophysics ** • Weather Forecasting ** ** Currently being used or evaluated
