About

The GNSS solution named ’GT2’ is produced by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) for the International GNSS Service (IGS) working group TIGA. It contains position time series for 757 permanent GNSS stations expressed in the ITRF2014 reference frame over the period January 1994 to December 2015.

This GNSS solution was carried out within the framework of the 2nd IGS reanalysis (reprocessing) campaign (Repro2). Among the 757 stations processed by GFZ, as many as 538 have actually been identified as co-located, or nearby, tide gauges.

The GNSS velocities, provided here for 579 stations (nearby tide gauges and reference frame stations included) with a minimum record length of 3 years and data gaps not exceeding 30%, are also produced by GFZ. To be more realistic, constant values (0.1 mm/yr in horizontal and 0.3 mm/yr in vertical) have been added to the formal errors on the velocities.

More details about the GNSS data analysis strategy can be found in Deng et al. (2015).
