  1. National Height Modernization Partner Meeting Neil D. Weston National Geodetic Survey, NOS, NOAA Frankfort, Kentucky April 30 – May 1, 2013

  2. CORS, OPUS and Geometric Datums Frankfort, Kentucky April 30 – May 1, 2013

  3. CORS Network Today • Multi-nation network – 1867+ stations • 226 contributing organizations • Multi-purpose, cooperative endeavor • Growth - 10 new stations per month • $1.1 billion in CORS benefits for 2012

  4. CORS Management Components • CORS Staff • Silver Spring Campus – 15 FTEs • Boulder Campus – 2 FTEs • Computing Environment • RAIDS – Data Storage & Distribution • UNIX BLADE Servers • IT Support Staff • Data Holdings – 1994 to present • RINEX, L2C Observables, GLONASS • Station Coordinates, Velocities, Log Files

  5. CORS Partnership Responsibilities • CORS Guidelines – Updated Jan 2013 • CORS Spacing – 70 Km • NOAA Mission • Applications • Redundancy • GNSS Equipment – Receiver, Antenna, Mounts • Site Operations – Power, Communications • Metadata • Uptime – 24/7 Operation

  6. CORS Partners 25 FEDERAL FAA USCG NASA NOAA USACE NSF 50 45 9 27 34 35

  7. CORS Applications • 3-D Positioning – NGS, DoD, NGA, IGS, NASA • Transportation – DOT, FAA, USCG, FRA, USACE, USGS • Meteorology - NWS • Space Weather – OAR, NCAR • Geophysics – NSF, Academia • Construction – Surveyors, Engineers, GIS/LIS • Agriculture – Precision Farming • Mining • Petroleum & Natural Gas Industry

  8. CORS Network

  9. Online Positioning User Service • Operational • OPUS-S • OPUS-RS • OPUS-DB • Under Development • OPUS Projects • OPUS-Net • RTN Analysis

  10. Online Positioning User Service (OPUS-DB) Publish / share data and information Ideal tool for monitoring, repeat measurements Dynamic OPUS-DB datasheet 5000+ points

  11. OPUS-DB Solutions

  12. Geometric Datum • Provide a modern spatial reference system which will align with the global reference frame • Global reference frame initiative – United Nations • Transformations / links to past reference frames • Host a number of summits – every three to four years • FGDC involvement, new datum definition – 2016 • External focus • International standards - ISO • Transition plan - 2016 • Education

  13. Geometric Datum • Modernization of primary US datasets – 2019 • Modernization of state and local datasets – 2020 • State Plane Coordinates • Federal and state legislation • Readjustments of passive control
