Many Flavors of OPUS Planned
  • OPUS
          • Lone $$$ receiver, hours of data, no archive
  • OPUS-DB
          • Lone $$$ receiver, hours of data, archive results
  • OPUS Projects
          • Multiple $$$ receivers, archive results
  • OPUS Rapid Static
          • $$$ receiver, minutes of data, no archive
  • OPUS GIS
          • ˘˘ receiver, minutes of data, no archive

Why reinvent bluebooking?
11
How to Access NSRS
  • Passive monuments
    • Datasheets http://geodesy.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/datasheet.prl


  • Active GPS
    • CORS data          http://geodesy.noaa.gov/CORS
    • OPUS processing http://geodesy.noaa.gov/OPUS
12
How to Maintain NSRS
  • Passive monuments
    • Add observations via BLUEBOOKING
    • Online recovery recvy_entry_www.prl
    • Online GPS observations via OPUS-DB

  • Active GPS
    • Join Cooperative CORS  http://geodesy.noaa.gov/CORS/Coop/

OPUS-DB benefits
  • Data submittal
    • fast, cheap, easy
    • consistent, reliable


  • Improve maintenance of NSRS
    • Add GPS on bench marks
    • Archive PLSS corners?
    • Archive tidal bench marks
26
OPUS-DB limitations
  • GPS data only
  • PAGES software only
  • No direct tie to adjacent monuments
  • No redundancy
  • Reduced oversight
  • Idiot-proofing?
  • Field logs are not archived
27
OPUS-DB data quality
  • Registered, trained users
  • 4+ hours of static GPS
  • OPUS error checking
  • NGS reviews each submittal
  • Datasheet includes:
    • “Caveat emptor” warning
    • Datasheet includes DQA statistics
    • Agency attribution
  • Coordinates: first, best, average
