Help for MIT Global Time Series Web Page

 

Main Page

The main page shows frames for the different IGS analysis centers and regions of the world.   The analysis centers shown are When a region of the world is selected, the velocity field in the ITRF96 system is shown for the analysis center selected on the Main page.  Changing the analysis selection will change the velocity field displaced.
Clicking on invidual sites in the velocity field will bring up a display of the time series used to derive the velocity.

Time series page

The times may be replotted using the options that appear at the bottom of the time series page.  It is also possible to overlay the time series from two analysis centers.  The second analysis center is shown in red and  the primary one in blue (the statistics on the plots referr to the primary analysis.)
The site list on left-hand side may be use to directly plot the results for a particular site and analysis center.  (The center name should be a link if the site is avaiable in the analysis from that center.)
Reference frame for analyses is based on the ITRF97 reference frame as realized by the the IGS00P041.snx analysis.
