Blueprint Released for Working in Modern Spatial Reference System

NGS released NOAA Technical Report NOS NGS 67, which addresses how geospatial professionals can expect to work within the modernized National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), beginning in 2022. In addition to significant improvements in heights from the NSRS modernization effort, the NSRS will rely more heavily on the Continuously Operating Reference System (CORS) network. Due to improvements in survey accuracy, the only way to know whether location coordinates are up to date is to track them continuously. That is why NGS will provide geodetic coordinate information through the CORS network as its primary service.
