Extra! Extra! The National Geodetic Survey in the News
Additions to our web site...
- NGS Height Modernization Activities (August 13, 2004)
-
Height Modernization is a program within NOAA's National
Geodetic Survey (NGS) that provides accurate height information by integrating
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with existing survey techniques.
See the Height Modernization web page.
- The National Readjustment (July 16, 2004)
-
The Readjustment
of the National Spatial Reference System is scheduled to commence in June 2005
and is scheduled for completion February 10, 2007.
- Alabama FBN Survey (June 10, 2004)
-
NGS is supporting a Federal Base Network densification survey in Alabama. This
map shows the survey's status.
- NOAA Seminar in Boulder (February 25, 2004)
-
On February 25, 2004, a CORS Seminar was held
at the NOAA campus in Boulder, CO to celebrate the kick-off of the
Parallel CORS Data Facility.
- A
Geodesist's View of the Ionosphere (January 8, 2004)
-
Precise ionosphere models are very important for accurate
positioning by GPS by removing the current distance dependent effects of
the ionosphere. Such models would allow single frequency L1 positioning
over long distances and provide a useful aid for rapid ambiguity
resolution.
- GPS & the Solar Storm: (November 21, 2003)
-
NGS produced AVI Videos that graphically depicts the major solar storm as it
swept North America the end of October 2003. The data represented in these
movies were derived using GPS technology.
- NGS Releases New Geoid Models: (January 1, 2004)
-
GEOID03 and USGG2003 replace the GEOID99 and G99SSS models,
respectively, for the conterminous United States. Look for models covering
other U.S. regions late in 2004.
