Continuous GPS Array of Japan and its Application to Crustal Activity Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
A continuous GPS array is a very useful tool for monitoring and modeling crustal activity. GPS observation has revealed various unknown aspects of tectonic deformation in Japan and other locations. Quasi-real time data acquisition and dense spatial coverage enable incorporation of GPS data into simulation models for crustal activity forecast, which is similar to data assimilation in weather forecast. For that purpose, it is important to develop new techniques of geodetic inversion and time series analysis.

Block modeling of crustal deformation of the northern Walker Lane and Basin and Range from GPS velocities
[1] We infer rates of crustal deformation in the northern Walker Lane (NWL) and western Basin and Range using data from the Mobile Array of GPS for Nevada transtension, and other continuous GPS networks including the EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory. We present 224 new GPS velocities, correct them for the effects of viscoelastic postseismic relaxation, and use them to constrain a block mod...
متن کاملDetection of Crustal Movements in the 2011 Tohoku, Japan Earthquake Using High-resolution Sar Data
Significant crustal movements were caused by the 2011 Tohoku, Japan Earthquake. A method for capturing the surface movements from TerraSAR-X intensity images is proposed in this study. First, the buildings were extracted from the preand post-event images using a segmentation approach. Then, the unchanged buildings were detected by matching the buildings in the preand post-event images at simila...

Global positioning system (GPS) measurements provide accurate and continuous 3-dimensional position, velocity and time data anywhere on or above the surface of the earth, anytime, and in all weather conditions. However, the predominant ranging error source for GPS signals is an ionospheric error. The ionosphere is the region of the atmosphere from about 60 km to more than 1500 km above the eart...
متن کاملContinuously Operating GPS-Based Volcano Deformation Monitoring in Indonesia: The Technical and Logistical Challenges
In the past decade or so there has been increasing interest in the use of permanent, continuously-operating GPS networks, with a small number of continuous networks having been deployed in the USA, Japan, Canada and Europe for large scale crustal motion studies. However, only in Japan has a country-wide continuous GPS network to support seismic research been established by the Geographical Surv...
متن کاملGPS Network Design and Error Mitigation for Real-Time Continuous Array Monitoring Systems
In this paper a near real-time (typically a baseline update once per hour, or once per day) continuous array system, with at least three dual-frequency GPS receivers connected to the IGS network, and many single frequency receivers, is proposed for monitoring applications covering a region of 50km radius. A weighted differential GPS method, appropriate for the suggested array design, can be imp...
