[iris-bulk] White Paper on Real-Time GPS

[Mike Jackson]

Dear Colleagues --

We would like to draw your attention to our white paper on the value of real-time GPS that has been authored by members of the EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory Advisory committee to UNAVCO.  This document summarizes the status and current interest in the use of these real-time streams for science.  This document was conceived in light of recent and ongoing research and upgrades of EarthScope (and other) GPS systems to high-rate, low latency streams.  The document is intended to both assert and stimulate discussion about the value of these data.  We are sending this to the IRIS Bulkmail list because of the strong linkages between high-rate and real-time GPS and seismology. 

The White Paper is posted on the UNAVCO web site under "Whats Hot" and the link is:

and we have set up a comment forum at:

Many thanks for your attention,

EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory Advisory Committee
