Time Series, Velocity, Transient Deformation, and Strain Data Products from the PBO and Other Geophysical Networks in Western North America
Abstract
The advent of large dense GPS networks such as PBO poses a logistical obstacle to scientific studies: how can scientists best explore the deformation being measured by these networks while not spending all their time analyzing massive quantities of data? In response to this challenge, we have developed an operational system for generating data products useful for the study of lithospheric deformation in the Western U.S. from PBO and other continuous GPS stations in this region. The project brings together state-of-the art algorithms for generating high quality calibrated and validated time series, velocity fields, transient deformation, and strain maps with advanced IT infrastructure and portal development for accessing these products. The portal, GPS Explorer (http://geoapp03.ucsd.edu/gridsphere/gridsphere) allows users to mine and manipulate these products in a workbench-like environment. We will present some example results of the high level data products as well as update the community of scientific users on the latest developments of our portal technology.
