Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing the profile of sparse symmetric matrices
TL;DR: Tests on normal equation matrices encountered in adjustments of geodetic networks by least squares demonstrate that the algorithm produces significantly lower profiles than the widely used reverse Cuthill-McKee algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introducing HTDP 3.1 to transform coordinates across time and spatial reference frames
Chris Pearson,Richard A. Snay +1 more
TL;DR: The National Geodetic Survey, an office within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, recently released version 3.1 of the Horizontal Time-Dependent Positioning (HTDP) utility for transforming coordinates across time and between spatial reference frames, which introduces improved crustal velocity models for both the contiguous United States and Alaska.
Accuracy Assessment of the National Geodetic Survey's OPUS-RS Utility
TL;DR: A unitless parameter called the interpolative dilution of precision (IDOP) is introduced to quantify the local geometry of the CORS network relative to the rover, and standard errors of the coordinates obtained via OPUS-RS are quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal velocity field near the big bend of California's San Andreas Fault
Richard A. Snay,Michael W. Cline,C. Randolph Philipp,David D. Jackson,Yanjie Feng,Zheng-Kang Shen,Michael Lisowski +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used geodetic data spanning the 1920-1992 interval to estimate the horizontal velocity field near the big bend segment of California's San Andreas fault (SAF).
Journal ArticleDOI
DYNAP: software for estimating crustal deformation from geodetic data
Alice R. Drew,Richard A. Snay +1 more
TL;DR: The Dynamic Adjustment Program (DYNAP) as mentioned in this paper is a software package for estimating crustal dynamic parameters from a collection of geodetic data, including horizontal directions and angles, distances, azimuths, zenith distances, and intersite vectors such as those obtainable with the Global Positioning System (GPS) or with very long baseline interferences (VLBI).
