Community Workshop: Real-Time GPS Position Data Products and Formats; Boulder, Colorado

这笔赠款支持一个研讨会，以确定实时GPS(RTGPS)位置数据产品和格式的社区定义的战略方向。基于RTGPS数据的高速率实时定位提高了对自然过程观测的时间分辨率，并可能提高对地震、地震波传播、火山喷发、岩浆侵入、冰的运动、滑坡以及大气结构和动力学的了解。基于实时全球定位系统的位置还可能对近实时评估自然灾害的能力产生重大影响，包括大地震、海啸和火山喷发的震源特征，直接影响科学和社会如何准备和应对这些灾害。定义明确的数据产品和格式将允许将这些数据与大地测量、地震学、冰冻圈和大气科学的其他领域的数据流相结合，帮助实现这一宝贵资源的真正潜力。一个为期三天的研讨会计划于2012年3月下旬在科罗拉多州博尔德市举行，届时将有大约50名地球科学家和对定义基于RTGPS数据的数据产品和格式有经验和兴趣的学生汇聚一堂。组委会将编写一份最后的研讨会报告，提出以社区为基础的建议、RTGPS数据产品和格式，为广大科学界服务。

This grant supports a workshop to determine community-defined strategic direction for Real Time GPS (RTGPS) position data products and formats. High-rate real time positions based on RTGPS data improve temporal resolution of observations of natural processes and are likely to improve the understanding of earthquakes, seismic wave propagation, volcanic eruptions, magmatic intrusions, movement of ice, landslides, and structure and dynamics of the atmosphere. RTGPS-based positions may also have substantial impacts on the ability to assess natural hazards in near real time, including source characterization of large earthquake, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, directly influencing how science and society prepare and react to these hazards. Well-defined data products and formats will allow the integration of these data with data streams from other areas of geodesy, seismology, and cryospheric and atmospheric science, helping to realize the true potential of this valuable resource. A three-day workshop is planned for late March 2012 in Boulder, Colorado and will bring together approximately 50 geoscientists and students with experience and interests in defining data products and formats based on RTGPS data. The organizing committee will produce a final workshop report that will make community-based recommendations RTGPS data products and formats that serve the broad scientific community.
