DF8779.Formal positional accuracy estimates are not available for this CORS
DF8779.because its coordinates were determined in part using modeled
DF8779.velocities. Approximate one-sigma accuracies for latitude, longitude,
DF8779.and ellipsoid height can be obtained from the short-term time series.
DF8779.Additional information regarding modeled velocities is available on
DF8779.the CORS Coordinates for MYCS2 web page:
DF8779.https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/news/mycs2/mycs2.shtml.
DF8779
DF8779.The coordinates were established by GPS observations
DF8779.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in January 2006.
DF8779
DF8779.The datum tag of NAD 83(CORS) is equivalent to NAD 83(CORS96).
DF8779
DF8779.The coordinates are valid at the epoch date displayed above
DF8779.which is a decimal equivalence of Year/Month/Day.
DF8779
DF8779.Due to the release of the International GNSS Service (IGS) 2014
DF8779.realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2014
DF8779.(ITRF2014), NGS reprocessed all NOAA CORS Network and some IGS stations
DF8779.using data collected between 1/1/1996 and 1/30/2017. The resulting ITRF2014
DF8779.epoch 2010.00 coordinates, referred to as Multi-Year CORS Solution 2
DF8779.(MYCS2), were transformed to NAD 83 (2011/PA11/MA11) maintaining the
DF8779.currently published epoch of 2010.00.

DF8779.** This station is in an area of suspected land subsidence, uplift, or
DF8779.** crustal motion. NGS recommends this and all published orthometric
DF8779.** heights in such areas be validated before use as vertical control.
DF8779.** Click here to see a list and map of nearby stations with valid
DF8779.** orthometric heights. Note: While datasheets are updated in real-time,
DF8779.** updates to archived datasheets and the SE TX Valid OH map occur
DF8779.** monthly. NGS discourages the use of scaled, VERTCON, or superseded
DF8779.** heights as vertical control as they are deemed unreliable.
DF8779.**
DF8779.** If an established orthometric height is unavailable in the survey control
DF8779.** section, it should be considered suspect. To view suspect heights,
DF8779.** (in the superseded section), select 'Include suspect heights in vertical
DF8779.** motion areas' box from the datasheet retrieval page.

DF8779.Significant digits in the geoid height do not necessarily reflect accuracy.

DF8779.The XYZ, and position/ellipsoidal ht. are equivalent.
DF8779
DF8779.The ellipsoidal height was determined by GPS observations
DF8779.and is referenced to NAD 83.
