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
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:

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.

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/c
src/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 postprocessing.
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.
