Collaborative Research: Fundamental Support for GPS Research - UNAVCO Facilities

9708946全球定位系统正在对地球科学中的各种科学问题的理解产生深远影响，例如板块运动学、地震旋回、地壳动力学、火山过程、全球冰动力学及相关的海平面变化以及大气遥感。为了有效地利用这项技术，地球科学家需要准确而高效的软件来处理GPS数据。该奖项为改进目前用于高精度GPS应用的软件的文档和用户界面提供资金。这项活动将是麻省理工学院和大气研究大学联盟(UCAR)的科学家之间的合作。该奖项将支持麻省理工学院团队管理的工作。***

9708946 King The Global Positioning System (GPS) is making a profound impact on the understanding of diverse scientific problems in the earth sciences such as plate kinematics, the earthquake cycle, crustal dynamics, volcanic processes, global ice dynamics and associated sea level changes, and atmospheric sensing. To make effective use of this technology earth scientists need accurate and efficient software to process GPS data. This award provides funding for improving the documentation and user interfaces of the software currently used for high-precision GPS applications. The activity is to be a collaboration between scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the University Consortium for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). This award will support the work managed by the MIT group. ***
