CSRC Leveraged Support
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.
UNAVCO/SCEC support to SOPAC for SCIGN to PBO transition
These funds for data archive and site maintenance will taper off in 20062007. Half of SCIGN sites to transition to PBO. Other half to be maintained
by USGS, SOPAC, and Local Agencies.
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):

NASA Proposal in Review - Integrated System Solutions:
Precise Real-Time GPS/GIS Solutions for Disaster Management and Homeland Security
Collaborators: Phil Giurbino (County Surveyor),
Ross Carlson, Steve Martin, Norman Peet
San Diego County Department of Public Works
Applications:
Rapid disaster management
in the areas of transportation and
engineering infrastructure, and
precise mapping of crime, disaster
(e.g., fires) and security-related
scenes (small and large scale).

GIS Class: UCSD Campus Mapping Project
We mapped the main roads on the UCSD/SIO campus with a GPS receiver mounted on
truck, positioned in real time with a PDA device with respect to SD Real Time Network.

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 NOAA’s 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.
Work Plan - FY05
FY’04-’05 Work Plan
FY ‘05 Appropriations & FY’05-’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 FY’05-’06 recommendations of Work Plan Committee
(Don D’Onofrio, 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 FY’05 shortfall to increase our FY’06 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
FY’05-’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?

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
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.
