Abstract:

The USGS occupied 31 stations in the Long Valley area each summer from 1992 to 1994, and again in 1996, 1998 and 1999. The stations were occupied for a period of 5 days during July or August. The USGS recorded dual-frequency carrier-phase and C/A-code pseudorange data at 30s intervals for at least six hours at each site. Up to seven receivers were deployed each day. At least one local station, usually CASA, was observed every day to provide a tie between stations occupied on different days. Relative station position were computed using the GIPSY software. Integer-ambiguity, ionosphere-free, improved-orbit solution solution were computed in the ITRF global reference frame by including simultaneous data from several tracking stations within North America.

Continuous GPS measurements at Long Valley caldera have been made since early 1993 (for more information go to <http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/research/deformation/twocolor/lv_continuous_gps.html>) . Seventeen GPS receivers are now operating within and near the Long Valley. The data are processed using the GIPSY software with point positioning. Prior to plotting, "bad" measurements of position, those that deviate significantly relative to position measurements made within a 3 month window, are identified and removed. Measurement precisions (1 St Dev) for "absolute" position coordinates, i.e. relative to a global reference frame, are 3-4 mm (north), 5-6 mm (east), and 10-12 mm (vertical) using 24 hour solutions. Corresponding velocities uncertainties for a 12 months period are about 2 mm/yr in the horizontal components and 3-4 mm/yr in the vertical component.

Purpose:

To provide a portable compilation of volcanic monitoring data from the Long Valley Volcano Observatory.

Supplemental_Information:

This metadata is for the continuous GPS data projected to UTM. Real-time data of the current activity of the caldera (including earthquakes, ground deformation, release of volcanic gas), information about volcanic hazards and the USGS response plan are available online at the Long Valley observatory web page (<http://lvo.wr.usgs.gov> ).
