Geodetic application of the Global Positioning System
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) can presently be used for geodesy and geophysics. The French Institut Geographique National (IGNF) has developed its own software (named GDVS) for processing GPS data. The basic capabilities of this software are discussed. In this paper, the more important observing campaigns related to geophysics and oceanography (terrestrial reference frame, tide gauge connections, local and regional deformation networks) are reviewed and plans for the future are given.
