Development of a Low-Cost, Station-Based, Broad-Band, Real-Time Positioning Stream for Use in Earthquake and Tsunami Early Warning
Abstract
High-rate low-latency Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data are being utilized for real-time (RT) applications focused on disaster mitigation, including tsunami early warning. RT-GNSS complements other geophysical monitoring (i.e., accelerometer) networks to improve the robust assessment and reporting of hazards. Given the tectonic setting of Canada's west coast, megathrust earthquakes (Mw>8) are the primary targets for immediate identification, since the tsunamis they generate will strike the coast within 15 to 20 min. However, large (6.0
