GPS Velocity and Strain Rate Fields in Southwest Anatolia from Repeated GPS Measurements
Southwestern Turkey is a tectonically active area. To determine kinematics and strain distribution in this region, a GPS network of sixteen stations was established. We have used GPS velocity field data for southwest Anatolia from continuous measurements covering the period 2003 to 2006 to estimate current crustal deformation of this tectonically active region. GPS data were processed using GAM...
متن کاملMultiscale estimation of GPS velocity fields
S U M M A R Y We present a spherical wavelet-based multiscale approach for estimating a spatial velocity field on the sphere from a set of irregularly spaced geodetic displacement observations. Because the adopted spherical wavelets are analytically differentiable, spatial gradient tensor quantities such as dilatation rate, strain rate and rotation rate can be directly computed using the same c...
متن کاملSite testing Dome A, Antarctica
Recent data have shown that Dome C, on the Antarctic plateau, is an exceptional site for astronomy, with atmospheric conditions superior to those at any existing mid-latitude site. Dome C, however, may not be the best site on the Antarctic plateau for every kind of astronomy. The highest point of the plateau is Dome A, some 800 m higher than Dome C. It should experience colder atmospheric tempe...
متن کاملBrightness and Extinction at Dome C , Antarctica
The recent discovery of exceptional seeing conditions at Dome C, Antarctica, raises the possibility of constructing an optical observatory there with unique capabilities. However, little is known from an astronomer's perspective about the optical sky brightness and extinction at Antarctic sites. We review the contributions to sky brightness at high-latitude sites, and calculate the amount of us...
متن کاملSubmillimeter Site Testing at Dome C, Antarctica
We have developed a 350μm radiometer to perform automated site testing in remote regions of Antarctica. In summer 2000–2001 the instrument operated at Concordia, a new station under construction at Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau. We present the results, and compare them with the atmospheric opacity measured at the South Pole in the same five-week period. During these five weeks, observing cond...
