Classifications, Standards,and Specifications Supporting OPUS 5.1

Presenters: Daniel Gillins, PhD., P.L.S., Geodesist, Spatial Reference System Division, NGS Dave Zenk, Northern Plains, Geodetic Regional Advisor, Geodetic Services Division, NGS

The purpose of this webinar is to introduce NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS NGS 92, the Classification, Standards, and Specifications document which provides specific guidance for submission of survey projects for inclusion in the NGS Integrated Database using OPUS Projects 5.1. NOS NGS 92 is the document that replaces NOS NGS 58 and NOS NGS 59.

OPUS Projects 5.1 was recently released by NGS for production purposes. This latest version continues to support the submission of projects. This version also supports the importation of GVX vectors in such projects

The webinar will show the Standards Tables, example network diagrams, and discuss a few selected key points.

CORS Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Best Practices

Presenters: John Galetzka, CORS Branch Chief, Spatial Reference System Division, NGS CORS Branch Chief, Spatial Reference System Division, NGS

NOAA’s Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) Network provides Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data to support three-dimensional positioning, meteorology, space weather, and other geophysical applications throughout the United States and many parts of the globe. Modern GNSS hardware and data processing techniques are increasingly more precise and accurate, requiring better CORS installation, operation and maintenance practices.

A GPS on Bench Marks Odyssey: Stories from the Pacific Southwest

Presenters: Dana Caccimise, Pacific Southwest Region Geodetic Advisor, Geodetic Servision Division, NGS; Philip Melcher, Servey and Enviro Tech, Provost & Prtichard Consulting Group, and Steven J. Martin, Retired top Surveyor for the East Bay Municipal Utility District

GPS on Bench Marks is a crowd sourced data collection effort to help communities across the Nation prepare to transition to, and reap the benefits of, the Modernized National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) that NGS will release in 2025. One crucial component of NSRS Modernization is for NGS to provide national scale tools that will allow users to transform their existing data between the current system and the Modernized NSRS. GPSonBM participants across the country collect GPS data on historic NGS survey control monuments and submit that data to NGS to improve the local accuracy of NGS’ national-scale Transformation Tools.
