NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM
• A component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) - http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html
• Contains all geodetic control contained in the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Data Base:– Horizontal and vertical control points– Geoid models such as GEOID 03– Gravity– Precise GPS orbits– Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS)– National Shoreline data as observed by NGS
NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM
• MULTIPURPOSE – Supports Geodesy, Geophysics, Land Surveying, Navigation, Mapping, Charting and GIS
• ACTIVE – Accessible through Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) and derived products
• INTEGRATED – Related to International services and standards (e.g. International Earth Rotation Service, International GPS Service etc.)
• DOCUMENTED – Complete metadata is provided for elements.

Reasons for Readjustment
• Multiple epoch dates• Inconsistencies between states• Need to be Consistent with CORS• Compute Network and Local accuracies
September 24, 2003 NGS Executive Steering Committee approved a plan for the readjustment of the horizontal positions and ellipsoid heights for GPS stations in the contiguous United States.
What about Orthometric Heights?
Decision was made not to perform a National Readjustment of orthometric heights at this time Control = NAVD 88 not the CORS Since no change in control most orthometric elevations
would not change significantly Network & Local Accuracy numbers for the orthometric
heights would be the primary reason for readjustment Would require relevant network accuracies for the
NAVD 88 network-This would require a complete analysis of the NAVD 88 network

The National Readjustment General Comments
The CORS will provide the control Only GPS projects will participate The FBN/CBN Surveys are a key element since these are
high accuracy (2 cm) surveys that tie the HARN to the CORS throughout the contiguous United States and provide more accurate values for the ellipsoid heights of most HARN stations.
The required free adjustment analysis of each GPS project that contributes to the National Spatial Reference System is complete.

Projects Not Recommended for Inclusion Currently 149 Projects with 9903 stations
Many Third Order FAA Projects from 1980’sSome Projects that have no ties to the NetworkOriginal TN HARN (Macrometer Data)Original Eastern Strain Network Project
The National Readjustment More Comments
Computation and database loading of scale factors for each project is underway.
Statewide GPS Readjustments are providing extra information about the network on a state by state basis.
Concept of Operation
Modified ADJUST, GPSCOM, LLSOLV software will be used plus new residual analysis software
Helmert Blocking strategy will be used. Coordinates Produced and Published for both NAD83
(NSRS) and ITRF Adjustment in NAD83-Transformed to ITRF
Canadian (Mexican?) Data Integrated at top layer Network and Local Accuracies also Produced
Helmert Blocks
CORS provides control at top block Canadian data Each state will comprise a separate block of data

Local Accuracy
Local Accuracy of a control point: A value that represents the uncertainty of its
coordinates relative to other directly connected, adjacent control points at the 95-percent confidence level
An approximate average of the individual local accuracy values between this control point and other observed control points used to establish its coordinates
Network Accuracy
Network accuracy of a control point A value that represents the uncertainty of its
coordinates with respect to the geodetic datum at the 95-percent confidence level
Datum is considered to be best expressed by the Continuous Operating Reference Stations (CORS)
Local and Network accuracy values at CORS sites are considered to be infinitesimal (approach zero)
These accuracies will be implemented with the National Readjustment
NEW STANDARDS FOR GEODETIC CONTROL
(http://fgdc.er.usgs.gov/standards/status/swgstat.html)
• local accuracy -------------- adjacent points• network accuracy ---------- relative to CORS
• Numeric quantities, units in cm (or mm)• Both are relative accuracy measures• Will not use distance dependent expression
ANTICIPATED SHIFTS
• Based on a preliminary adjustment of all FBN’s to the published values.
< 5 cm. in the horizontal component with an average shift of 2.2 cm. < 10 cm. in the vertical component with an average shift of 4.6 cm.

Time-line for National Readjustment Positions and Ellipsoid Heights
All projects guaranteed to be included in the adjustment must be loaded in the database no later than 06/01/2005
Projects submitted after 06/01/2005 will be accepted and loaded into the database but will not be included in the readjustment
Anticipated completion by February 10, 2007 Project Report
3 months-February, 2007 through May, 2007

QUESTIONS
For Stations not Included
NGS recommends that NAD 83 data that is NOT part of the NSRS readjustment be readjusted by contractor/user with the original observations.
A set of national transformation parameters for “classical” non-GPS stations and GPS stations that were excluded from the National Readjustment will be developed by NGS.
Because of the relatively small shifts anticipated, a model such as NADCON will not be developed.
Post National Readjustment
Areas outside the US may need to be readjusted (e.g. Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Pacific Islands).
New adjustment procedures will be developed that incorporate local and network accuracies.
A reference frame maintenance strategy (NAD83, ITRF, either or both) needs to be developed.
Design and Publish new data sheets.
Important Facts
• DEADLINE for data submittal June 1, 2005• COMPLETION DATE – February 10, 2007• NEW DATUM TAG - NAD83(NSRS)
For the latest information- visit the national readjustment webpage at:
(http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/????
OTHER ISSUES
• We will streamline the process of project acceptance and database loading
• Require that all projects (submitted after the June 1, 2005 deadline) be tied to CORS
• Accept/require more data in digital format-e.g.. reports, logs…
• Photographs???
