This professional presentation details the efforts to enhance the quality of and availability to the high accuracy positioning elements of the National Spatial Reference System.
These include:
• Enhancements to the On Line Positioning User Service (OPUS)
• Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D)
• Transition to new horizontal (geometric) and vertical (geopotential) datums to replace NAD 83 and NAVD 88 - targeted to be completed by 2022.
Are you prepared for the change? Continued user demands and shrinking budgets at NGS encourage the transition to the National Spatial Reference Framework (NSRS). This transition is to align with the international IGS-ITRF datum and to a gravity based vertical datum. Attend and learn of the upcoming transition and how best to take advantage of the changes and benefits that may be required of your upcoming surveys.
Take advantage of the seminar to have questions answered during the afternoon session.
