article | DOI |
| Abstract: We report new findings of total electron content (TEC) perturbations in
the southern hemisphere at conjugate locations to the northern eclipse on August 21, 2017. We identified a persistent conjugate TEC depletion by 10%-15% during the eclipse time, elongating along magnetic latitudes with at least \sim5textdegree latitudinal width. As the Moon's shadow swept southward, this conjugate depletion moved northward and became most pronounced at lower magnetic latitudes (gt-20textdegreeN). This depletion was coincident with a weakening of the southern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA), while the northern EIA crest stayed almost undisturbed or was slightly enhanced. We suggest these conjugate perturbations were associated with dramatic eclipse initiated plasma pressure reductions in the flux tubes, with a large portion of shorter tubes located at low latitudes underneath the Moon's shadow. These short L shell tubes intersect with the F region ionosphere at low and equatorial latitudes. The plasma pressure gradient was markedly skewed northward in the flux tubes at low and equatorial latitudes, as was the neutral pressure. These effects caused a general northward motion tendency for plasma within the flux tubes, and inhibited normal southward diffusion of equatorial fountain plasma into the southern EIA region. We also identified posteclipse ionospheric disturbances likely associated with the global propagation of eclipse induced traveling atmospheric disturbances in alignment with the Moon's shadow moving direction. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We present a new high resolution empirical model for the ionospheric
total electron content (TEC). TEC data are obtained from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers with a 1textdegree texttimes 1textdegree spatial resolution and 5 min temporal resolution. The linear regression model is developed at 45textdegreeN, 0textdegreeE for the years 2000-2019 with 30 min temporal resolution, unprecedented for typical empirical ionospheric models. The model describes dependency of TEC on solar flux, season, geomagnetic activity, and local time. Parameters describing solar and geomagnetic activity are evaluated. In particular, several options for solar flux input to the model are compared, including the 10.7 cm solar radio flux (F_10.7), the Mg II core to wing ratio, and formulations of the solar extreme ultraviolet flux (EUV). Ultimately, the extreme ultraviolet flux presented by the Flare Irradiance Spectral Model, integrated from 0.05 to 105.05 nm, best represents the solar flux input to the model. TEC time delays to this solar parameter on the order of several days as well as seasonal modulation of the solar flux terms are included. The Ap_3 index and its history are used to reflect the influence of geomagnetic activity. The root mean squared error of the model (relative to the mean TEC observed in the 30 min window) is 1.9539 TECu. A validation of this model for the first 3 months of 2020 shows excellent agreement with data. The new model shows significant improvement over the International Reference Ionosphere 2016 (IRI 2016) when the two are compared during 2008 and 2012. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The Global scale Observation of Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission, for the
first time, provides synoptic two dimensional (2D) maps of OI 135.6 nm observations. These maps describe the unambiguous and dynamic evolution of nighttime ionospheric F_2 peak electron densities (N_mF_2) as the 135.6 nm airglow emission radiance correlates well with N_mF_2 at night. On November 19, 2018, the 135.6 nm radiance measured by GOLD, N_mF_2 measured by a digisonde, and GPS total electron content (TEC) measurements at Cachoeira Paulista (CP) all showed a postsunset enhancement, with an increase near 22:30 universal time. The 135.6 nm radiance map showed that this enhancement was due to the southward movement of the southern equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) crest. Therefore, the GOLD observation showed the linkage between postsunset enhancement of N_mF_2 and EIA movement. Furthermore, unlike the southward movement of the southern crest, the corresponding EIA northern crest, however, did not show northward motion. This is the first time that the EIA hemispheric asymmetry, which included both different densities and movement of two crests in a short time period (lt2 h), was captured. The cause of this asymmetric movement of the two crests is not clear and requires further investigation. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: An uninterrupted multi-day (6-8 May 2013) ionospheric F-region event
with features indicative of medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) was detected with the Millstone Hill (MH) incoherent scatter radar (ISR). It was later identified, with the addition of Global Positioning System total electron content (GPS-TEC) imaging, as a novel ionospheric phenomenon. This phenomenon is herein termed semi-coherent ionospheric pulsing structures (SCIPS). The presumptive-MSTIDs in this multi-day event had a -0.5ex1 h period and were observed during calm-to-minor geomagnetic conditions using both the vertical-looking (Zenith) and steerable (Millstone Hill Steerable Antenna, or MISA) MH ISR systems. To image the MH MSTID events on a larger horizontal scale than is possible with ISR systems alone, a dense network of GPS TEC receivers was leveraged. The ISR-observed event was located in the GPS-TEC data geographically centered on the MH location with a -0.5ex100 km resolution (pixel size). However, keogram analysis of the GPS-TEC data revealed that the event had coherency across the continental United States. The same technique additionally exposed similar events occurring globally throughout the observing period. Our multi-instrument approach allows us to conclude that the event was comprised of large-scale and continuously forced, semi-coherent ionospheric pulsing structures (SCIPS) that masqueraded as MSTIDs when viewed locally. The GPS-TEC images show that the SCIPS were stationary in longitude on a global scale, but appeared to propagate in a southward direction in the Northern Hemisphere. It was not possible to obtain direct imaging in the southern hemisphere due to the smaller number of receivers. The SCIPS appear to originate at high latitudes and, in several instances, were coherent across over 10,000 km. The apparent high latitude source location, ubiquity, and large-scale coherence of the SCIPS suggest unexpected impulsive auroral oval sources containing enough energy to continually force the observed MSTID-like structures even during low geomagnetic activity periods. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The magnetosphere ionosphere (MI) coupling is crucial in modeling the
thermosphere ionosphere (TI) response to geomagnetic activity. In general circulation models (GCMs) the MI coupling is typically realized by specifying the ion convection and auroral particle precipitation patterns from for example, empirical or assimilative models. Assimilative models, such as the Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics, have the advantage that the ion convection and auroral particle precipitation patterns are mutually consistent and based on available observations. However, assimilating a large set of diverse data requires expert knowledge and is time consuming. Empirical models, on the other hand, are convenient to use, but do not capture all the observed spatial and temporal variations. With the availability of Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) data, there is an opportunity for employing field aligned currents (FAC) in GCMs to represent the MI coupling. In this study, we will introduce a new method which enables us to use observed FAC in GCMs and solve for the interhemispherically asymmetric electric potential distribution. We compare Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM) simulations of a geomagnetic storm period using the new approach and two other often used methods for specifying MI coupling based on empirical and assimilative high latitude electric potentials. The comparison shows general similarities of the TI storm time response and improved temporal variability of the new method compared to using empirical models, but results also illustrate substantial differences due to our uncertain knowledge about the MI coupling process. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The formation of polar cap density enhancements, such as tongues-of-
ionization (TOIs), are often attributed to enhanced dayside reconnection and convection due to solar wind changes. However, ionospheric poleward moving density enhancements can also form in the absence of changes in the solar wind. This study examines how TOI and patch events that are not triggered by solar wind changes relate to magnetospheric processes, specifically substorms. Based on total electron content and Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) observations, we find substorms that occur at the same time as TOIs are associated with sudden enhancements in dayside poleward flows during the substorm expansion phase. Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) observations also show enhanced field-aligned currents (FACs) that extend into the dayside ionosphere during this period. We suggest that the global enhancement of FACs and convection during these substorms are the drivers of these TOIs by enhancing dayside convection and transporting high-density lower-latitude plasma into the polar cap. However, we also find that not all substorms are coincident with polar cap density enhancements. A superposed epoch study showed that the AL index for TOIs during substorms is not particularly stronger than substorms without TOIs, but epoch studies of AMPERE observations do show events with TOIs to have a higher total FAC on both the dayside and nightside. Our results show the importance of TOI formation during substorms when solar wind drivers are absent, and the importance of considering substorms in the global current system. This work also shows the need to incorporate substorms into models of high-latitude global convection and currents. |

| Abstract: Recent work in the field of cryo-seismology demonstrates that high
frequency (gt1 Hz) waves provide key constraints on a wide range of glacier processes such as basal friction, surface crevassing or subglacial water flow. Establishing quantitative links between the seismic signal and the processes of interest however requires detailed characterization of the wavefield, which at the high frequencies of interest necessitates the deployment of large and particularly dense seismic arrays. Although dense seismic array monitoring has recently become routine in geophysics, its application to glaciated environments has yet remained limited. Here we present a dense seismic array experiment made of 98 3-component seismic stations continuously recording during 35 days in early spring on the Argentière Glacier, French Alps. The seismic dataset is supplemented by a wide range of complementary observations obtained from ground penetrating radar, drone imagery, GNSS positioning and in-situ instrumentation of basal glacier sliding velocities and subglacial water discharge. Through applying multiple processing techniques including event detection from template matching and systematic beamforming, we demonstrate that the present dataset provides enhanced spatial resolution on basal stick slip and englacial fracturing sources as well as novel constraints on heterogeneous nature of the noise field generated by subglacial water flow and on the link between crevasse properties and englacial seismic velocities. We finally outline in which ways further work using this dataset could help tackle key remaining questions in the field. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Temporal and spatial evolutions of total electron content (TEC) and
electron density in the ionosphere during a geomagnetic storm that occurred on 27 and 28 September 2017 have been investigated using global TEC data obtained from many Global Navigation Satellite System stations together with the ionosonde, geomagnetic field, Jicamarca incoherent scatter and Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) radar data. Our analysis results show that a clear enhancement of the ratio of the TEC difference (rTEC) first occurs from noon to afternoon at high latitudes within 1 hr after a sudden increase and expansion of the high-latitude convection and prompt penetration of the electric field to the equator associated with the southward excursion of the interplanetary magnetic field. Approximately 1-2 hr after the onset of the h_mF_2 increase in the midlatitude and low-latitude regions associated with the high- latitude convection enhancement, the rTEC and f_oF_2 values begin to increase and the enhanced rTEC region expands to low latitudes within 1-2 hr. This signature suggests that the ionospheric plasmas in the F_2 region move at a higher altitude due to local electric field drift, where the recombination rate is smaller, and that the electron density increases due to additional production at the lower altitude in the sunlit region. Later, another rTEC enhancement related to the equatorial ionization anomaly appears in the equatorial region approximately 1 hr after the prompt penetration of the electric field to the equator and expands to higher latitudes within 3-4 hr. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We present a multi-instrument multiscale study of a channel of enhanced,
inhomogeneous flow in the cusp ionosphere occurring on November 30, 2014. We provide evidence that strong Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) phase scintillations indices (\sigma_\phigt0.5 rad) can arise from such events, indicating that they are important in the context of space weather impacts on technology. We compare in detail two-dimensional maps of ionospheric density, velocity, and temperatures obtained by the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association Svalbard Radar with scintillation indices detected from a network of four GNSS receivers around Svalbard and examine the different sources of free energy for irregularity creation. We observe that the strongest phase scintillations occur on the poleward side of the flow channel in a region of sheared plasma motion and structured low-energy particle precipitation. As inhomogeneous plasma flows are evident in our observations, we perform a quantitative, nonlinear analysis of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) and its impact on phase scintillations using numerical simulations from the first principles-based Geospace Environment Model of Ion-Neutral Interactions and Satellite-beacon Ionospheric- scintillation Global Model of the upper Atmosphere. Using representative values consistent with the radar data, we show that KHI can efficiently create density structures along with considerable scintillations and is thus likely to contribute significantly under similar conditions, which are frequent in the cusp. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Due to the steady moderate seismicity observed along the Briançon
seismic arc, in the south-western French Alps, three temporary GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) surveys took place in 1996, 2006 and 2011, across a \sim50 texttimes 60 kmtexttwosuperior wide area, to investigate the surface deformation field. The horizontal velocity field computed from these three surveys showed an east-west extension in the network. A fourth campaign was led in 2016, creating a 20 yr observation span, resulting in measurements which reach a sufficient accuracy to assess whether extension found within the Briançon network is localized onto any particular tectonic feature. Several faults in this area are known to be active normal faults. Assessing the localization of the deformation may lead to a better understanding of the active tectonics of the Alpine belt. To address this issue, a robust velocity field was computed from the combination of the different campaign and permanent GNSS data. Strain rate tensors were derived for the first time in this area on a 0.1 texttimes 0.1 deg grid to assess the distribution of the deformation. The regional deformation appears localized in the Briançon area and reaches up to 20 \pm 5 nanostrain yr^-1 in the centre of the network. The observed velocities were projected on a profile across the network and compared with modelled interseismic deformation to characterize the behaviour of the major active faults known in the study zone. While a two- fault model provides the best fit to the data, a single fault model has only marginally higher residuals, with parameters which are more consistent with the seismotectonics of the region. The localization of the single modelled fault is consistent with the location of the High Durance Fault (HDF). Therefore, we used the known geological location of this structure as a priori information in a block model to compute a fault slip rate at the interface between the two blocks. The velocities on the interface indicate 0.4-0.5 mm yr^-1 of extension, and therefore strain accumulates along the HDF throughout the seismic cycle. The geodetically derived fault slip rate is converted into an equivalent seismic moment release rate, which is consistent within its uncertainty bounds with the known historical and instrumental seismicity of the Briançon area. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The midnight temperature maximum (MTM) and equatorial spread F (ESF) are
common processes in the low-latitude ionosphere and thermosphere. This work shows the first interaction between the brightness wave (BW), associated with the MTM, and plasma depletions, associated with ESF. Observations from the El Leoncito all-sky imager (ASI) (31.8textdegreeS, 69.3textdegreeW, 19.7textdegreeS magnetic latitude) show concurrent observations of a plasma depletion and a BW. As the BW passes through the depletion, the depletion is modified and becomes an enhancement. Concurrent measurements at the conjugate location show an airglow depletion, indicating that the enhancement is an evolution of the depletion and not a separate feature and that it only occurs in one hemisphere. Previous model results were able to recreate the evolution of an airglow depletion into an enhancement when there is a poleward wind combined with converging zonal winds. We discuss how these wind conditions are often associated with the MTM/BW and can explain this observed enhancement. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The volcanism of the Eifel volcanic field (EVF), in west-central
Germany, is often considered an example of hotspot volcanism given its geochemical signature and the putative mantle plume imaged underneath. EVF's setting in a stable continental area provides a rare natural laboratory to image surface deformation and test the hypothesis of there being a thermally buoyant plume. Here we use Global Positioning System (GPS) data to robustly image vertical land motion (VLM) and horizontal strain rates over most of intraplate Europe. We find a spatially coherent positive VLM anomaly over an area much larger than the EVF and with a maximum uplift of \sim1 mm yr^-1 at the EVF (when corrected for glacial isostatic adjustment). This rate is considerably higher than averaged over the Late-Quaternary. Over the same area that uplifts, we find significant horizontal extension surrounded by a radial pattern of shortening, a superposition that strongly suggests a common dynamic cause. Besides the Eifel, no other area in NW Europe shows significant positive VLM coupled with extensional strain rates, except for the much broader region of glacial isostatic adjustment. We refer to this 3-D deformation anomaly as the Eifel Anomaly. We also find an extensional strain rate anomaly near the Massif Central volcanic field surrounded by radial shortening, but we do not detect a significant positive VLM signal there. The fact that the Eifel Anomaly is located above the Eifel plume suggests that the plume causes the anomaly. Indeed, we show that buoyancy forces induced by the plume at the bottom of the lithosphere can explain this remarkable surface deformation. Plume-induced deformation can also explain the relatively high rate of regional seismicity, particularly along the Lower Rhine Embayment. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This paper presents coordinated and fortuitous ground-based and
spaceborne observations of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) over the South American area on 24 October 2018, combining the following measurements: Global-scale Observations of Limb and Disk far ultraviolet emission images, Global Navigation Satellite System total electron content data, Swarm in situ plasma density observations, ionosonde virtual height and drift data, and cloud brightness temperature data. The new observations from the Global-scale Observations of Limb and Disk/ultraviolet imaging spectrograph taken at geostationary orbit provide a unique opportunity to image the evolution of plasma bubbles near the F peak height over a large geographic area from a fixed longitude location. The combined multi- instrument measurements provide a more integrated and comprehensive way to study the morphological structure, development, and seeding mechanism of EPBs. The main results of this study are as follows: (1) The bubbles developed a westward tilted structure with 10-15textdegree inclination relative to the local geomagnetic field lines, with eastward drift velocity of 80-120 m/s near the magnetic equator that gradually decreased with increasing altitude/latitude. (2) Wave-like oscillations in the bottomside F layer and detrended total electron content were observed, which are probably due to upward propagating atmospheric gravity waves. The wavelength based on the medium- scale traveling ionospheric disturbance signature was consistent with the interbubble distance of \sim500-800 km. (3) The atmospheric gravity waves that originated from tropospheric convective zone are likely to play an important role in seeding the development of this equatorial EPBs event. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This study provides new scenarios for storm time traveling ionospheric
disturbance excitation and subsequent propagation at subauroral and polar latitudes. We used ground-based total electron content observations from Global Navigation Satellite System receivers combined with wide field, subauroral ionospheric plasma parameters measured with the Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Radar during strong September 2017 geospace storms. Observations provide the first evidence of significant influences on traveling ionospheric disturbance (TID) propagation and excitation caused by the presence of large subauroral polarization stream flow channels. Simultaneous large- and medium-scale TIDs evolved during the event in a broad subauroral and midlatitude area near dusk. Similar concurrent TIDs occurred near dawn sectors as well during a period of sustained southward Bz. Medium-scale TIDs at subauroral and midlatitudes had wave fronts aligned northwest-southeast near dusk, and northeast- southwest near dawn. These wave fronts were highly correlated with the direction of storm time large zonal plasma drift enhancements at these latitudes. At high latitudes, unexpected, predominant, and persistent storm time TIDs were identified with 2000+ km zonal wave fronts and 15% total electron content perturbation amplitudes, moving in transpolar propagation pathways from the dayside into the nightside. This propagation direction in the polar region was opposite to the normal assumption that TIDs originated in the nightside auroral region. Results suggest that significant dayside sources, such as cusp regions, can be efficient in generating transpolar TIDs during geospace storm intervals. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Space weather can cause serious disturbances of global navigation
satellite systems (GNSS) used for positioning and navigation purposes. This paper describes a new method to forecast space weather disturbances on GNSS at high latitudes, in which we describe the formation and propagation of polar cap patches and predict their arrival at the nightside auroral oval. The space weather prediction model builds on the expanding/contracting polar cap (ECPC) paradigm and total electron content (TEC) observations from the Global Positioning System (GPS) network. The input parameter is satellite observations of the interplanetary magnetic field at the first Lagrange point. To validate our prediction model, we perform a case study in which we compare the results from our prediction model to observations from the GPS TEC data from the MIT's Madrigal database, convection data from Super Dual Auroral radar network, and scintillation data from Svalbard. Our results show that the ECPC paradigm describes the polar cap patch motion well and can be used to predict scintillations of GPS signals at high latitudes. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Much theoretical and observational work has been devoted to studying the
occurrence of F region polar cap patches in the Northern Hemisphere; considerably less work has been applied to the Southern Hemisphere. In recent years, the Madrigal database of mappings of total electron content (TEC) has improved in Southern Hemisphere coverage, to the point that we can now carry out a study of patch frequency and occurrence. We find that Southern Hemisphere patch occurrence is very similar to that of the Northern Hemisphere with a half-year offset, plus an offset in universal time of approximately 12 hr. This is further supported by running an ionospheric model for both hemispheres and applying the same patch-to-background technique. Further, we present a simple physical mechanism involving a sunlit dayside plasma source concurrent with a dark polar cap, which yields a patch-to-background pattern very much like that seen in the TEC mappings for both hemispheres. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The geomagnetic storm-driven ionospheric changes and the involved
processes are interesting and challenging topics in understanding and predicting the ionosphere. In this study we investigate the response of the ionosphere to geomagnetic disturbances during the 30-day incoherent scatter radar measurements conducted at Millstone Hill (42.6textdegreeN, 71.5textdegreeW) from 4 October to 4 November 2002. During geomagnetically disturbed periods, while the peak electron density of the F2 layer (NmF2) and total electron content deviate remarkably from the quiet time ones in a similar way, the incoherent scatter radar measurements reveal that the changes in electron density are frequently different between low and high altitudes. The electron density is significantly depleted at low altitudes; however, at topside it either changes slightly or sometime is enhanced. The enhanced vertical scale height around 600 km under geomagnetically active conditions implies that the topside electron density profiles become much steeper. The increase in the peak height of F2 layer (hmF2) indicates the upward motions under the action of the storm- driven dynamic processes. Further, sometimes strong differences are shown in total electron content between Millstone Hill and longitude 100textdegreeW. The competing contributions from dynamic processes and disturbance composition to the storm-time ionospheric changes over Millstone Hill are indicated in the different responses in electron density at the bottomside and topside of the ionosphere. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: In this study, we focus on the recovery phase of a geomagnetic storm
that happened on 6-11 September 2017. The ground-based total electron content data, as well as the F region in situ electron density, measured by the Swarm satellites show an interesting feature, revealing at low and equatorial latitudes on the dayside ionosphere prominent positive and negative responses at the Asian and American longitudinal sectors, respectively. The global distribution of thermospheric O/N_2 ratio measured by global ultraviolet imager on board the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics satellite cannot well explain such longitudinally opposite response of the ionosphere. Comparison between the equatorial electrojet variations from stations at Huancayo in Peru and Davao in the Philippines suggests that the longitudinally opposite ionospheric response should be closely associated with the interplay of E region electrodynamics. By further applying nonmigrating tidal analysis to the ground-based total electron content data, we find that the diurnal tidal components, D0 and DW2, as well as the semidiurnal component SW1, are clearly enhanced over prestorm days and persist into the early recovery phase, indicating the possibility of lower atmospheric forcing contributing to the longitudinally opposite response of the ionosphere on 9-11 September 2017. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Solar flares provide strong impulsive radiation and energy injection to
the sunlit upper atmosphere. The impact on the ionosphere is immense in spatial scale, and therefore, it is not immediately evident if dramatically elevated neutral heating can lead to excitation of acoustic gravity waves. Using primary observations from Global Navigation Satellite System differential TEC (total electron content) over the continental United States, this paper presents postflare ionospheric observations associated with three X-class flares on 6, 7, and 10 September 2017. Postflare ionospheric changes had two significant morphological characteristics: (1) A few minutes after the X9.3 flare peak on 6 September, clear traveling ionospheric disturbance (TID) fronts emanated near the sunrise terminator with alignment parallel to its direction—TIDs propagated predominantly eastward into the dayside with a 150 m/s phase speed and a \sim30-min period; (2) synchronized differential TEC oscillations over continental United States with \sim60-min periodicity and damping amplitude over time, following all three X-class flares. Postflare ionospheric oscillation spectra exhibited significantly enhanced amplitudes and changes of periodicities (including the appearance of the 60-min oscillations). The Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar observed large ionospheric up-welling occurring nearly simultaneously as detected TIDs at the X9.3 flare peak, with up to 80 m/s enhancements in vertical drift at 500 km lasting for \sim30 min. Results suggest that significant solar flare heating and associated dynamical effects may be an important factor in TID/acoustic gravity wave excitation. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We report an extreme erosion of the plasmasphere arising from the
September 2017 storm. The cold electron density is identified from the upper limit frequency of upper hybrid resonance waves observed by the Plasma Wave Experiment instrument onboard the Exploration of energization and Radiation in Geospace/Arase satellite. The electron density profiles reveal that the plasmasphere was severely eroded during the recovery phase of the storm and the plasmapause was located at L = 1.6-1.7 at 23 UT 8 September 2017. This is the first report of deep erosion of the plasmasphere (L_PP lt 2) with the in situ observation of the electron density. The degree of the severity is much more than what is expected from the relatively moderate value of the SYM-H minimum (-146 nT). We attempt to find a possible explanation for the observed severe depletion by using both observational evidence and numerical simulations. Our results suggest that the middle latitude electric field had penetrated from the high-latitude storm time convection for several hours. Such an unusually long-lasting penetration event can cause this observed degree of severity. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The solar radiation focusing effect is related to the specific
phenomenon of propagation of the Sun-emitted HF and VHF waves through terrestrial ionosphere. This natural effect is observed with ground-based radio instruments running within the 10-200 MHz range as distinctive patterns—the spectral caustics (SCs)—on the solar dynamic spectra. It has been suggested that SCs are associated with medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs). In this paper, we present the first direct observations of SCs induced by MSTIDs, using solar dynamic spectra with SCs obtained by different European radio telescopes on 2014 January 8 and simultaneous two-dimensional detrended total electron content (dTEC) maps over Europe. Spatial examination of dTEC maps as well as precise timing analysis of the maps and the dynamic spectra have been performed. First, we found several pairs of one-to-one (TID-SC) correspondences. The study provides strong observational evidence supporting the suggestion that MSTIDs are the cause of SCs. |

| Abstract: The Western Alps show persistent seismicity and deformation despite the
end of the orogenesis. The first stations of the RENAG permanent GNSS network were thus installed in the French Alps since the end of the 1990s. Moreover, three temporary surveys took place in 1996, 2006 and 2011 in the Briançon area, 50x50 km^2 wide, in the South-Western French Alps, where a steady moderate seismic activity along the Briançon seismic arc is observed. The horizontal velocity field computed from these first three surveys showed an east-west extension in the network, compatible in amplitude and in orientation with the seismic deformation of the area. A fourth campaign was led in 2016, yielding 20 years of observation span. The measures may now reach a sufficient accuracy to assess if the extension found within the Briançon network is localized on any particular tectonic feature. Several faults in this area indeed showed recent activity in normal faulting. Assessing the localization of the deformation may lead to better understand the origin and processes of the present-day deformation of the Alpine belt. To address this issue, the present study aimed at increasing the resolution of both the velocity and the strain field over the network, by exploiting the long measurement span and the exceptional redundancy of our campaign measurements : 1) A robust velocity field was computed from the combination of the different campaign and permanent data. A single strain tensor was then derived, revealing 20\pm2 nanostrain/yr, which is consistent with previous studies, and also more accurate. 2) Two inversion methods were then compared to assess the distribution of the deformation over the area. Despite their coherence on the orientation of the deformation, the size of the network compared to the small amplitude of the signal did not enable us to derive significant values of strain over the width of the grid cells. 3) We then tried to localize the deformation by fitting a model to a GPS velocity profile perpendicular to the faults. Despite the high uncertainties on the GPS velocities, a two fault model seems to be the best fit to the data. The localization of the potential faults being the best constrained parameter in this forward model, we used it as apriori information in a block modeling in order to compute fault slip rates as the velocities at the interface of the blocks. The velocities on the interfaces are found to be strongly dependent on the model parameters but remain below 1 mm/yr. Thanks to the unusual density of the network and long time span of its instrumentation, we were able to increase the accuracy of the deformation pattern observed through the Briançon area. Our results suggest that the extension is localized on two nearby tectonic features, even if the fault parameters retrieved from our models differ slightly from geological and seismotectonics clues. These results encourage us to believe that the next survey will add sufficient signal-to- noise ratio to achieve the data convergence towards the regional tectonic signal. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: During the American solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, the GNSS network
was applied to record the ionospheric responses. Following the lunar shadow, the TEC depletion emerged over the eclipse path. After the eclipse end, the depletion in the north gradually disappeared and then the TEC enhancement emerged. The depletion in the south has continued for a long time. A sharp area between the enhancement and depletion regions appeared at 27textdegreeN latitude. Moreover, the depletion region were moving to south with larger and larger TEC decline after the eclipse maximum. The TEC over four selected places with same latitude and different eclipse obscurations is presented. Interestingly, the recovery periods of these TEC values are similar. The f_oF2 and h_mF2 in the enhancement and depletion regions displayed very different variation tendency. The eclipse-induced thermospheric winds are considered to further reduce the TEC after the eclipse. The formation of the sharp area in TEC may be related to the fountain effect. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European
Alps show a correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at rates of up to 2-2.5 mm/a in the North-Western and Central Alps, and 1 mm/a across a continuous region from the Eastern to the South-Western Alps. Such a rock uplift rate pattern is at odds with the horizontal velocity field, characterized by shortening and crustal thickening in the Eastern Alps and very limited deformation in the Central and Western Alps. Proposed mechanisms of rock uplift rate include isostatic response to the last deglaciation, long-term erosion, detachment of the Western Alpine slab, as well as lithospheric and surface deflection due to mantle convection. Here, we assess previous work and present new estimates of the contributions from these mechanisms. Given the large range of model estimates, the isostatic adjustment to deglaciation and erosion are sufficient to explain the full observed rate of uplift in the Eastern Alps, which, if correct, would preclude a contribution from horizontal shortening and crustal thickening. Alternatively, uplift is a partitioned response to a range of mechanisms. In the Central and Western Alps, the lithospheric adjustment to deglaciation and erosion likely accounts for roughly half of the rock uplift rate, which points to a noticeable contribution by mantle-related processes such as detachment of the European slab and/or asthenospheric upwelling. While it is difficult to independently constrain the patterns and magnitude of mantle contributions to ongoing Alpine vertical displacements at present, future data should provide additional insights. Regardless, interacting tectonic and surface mass redistribution processes, rather than an individual forcing, best explain ongoing Alpine elevation changes. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Postsunset midlatitude traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) and
equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) were simultaneously observed over American sector during the geomagnetic storm on 8 September 2017. The characteristics of TIDs are analyzed by using a combination of the Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar data and 2-D detrended total electron content (TEC) from ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System receivers. The main results associated with EPBs are as follows: (1) stream-like structures of TEC depletion occurred simultaneously at geomagnetically conjugate points, (2) poleward extension of the TEC irregularities/depletions along the magnetic field lines, (3) severe equatorial and midlatitude electron density (Ne) bite outs observed by Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and Swarm satellites, and (4) enhancements of ionosphere F layer virtual height and vertical drifts observed by equatorial ionosondes near the EPBs initiation region. The stream-like TEC depletions reached 46textdegree magnetic latitudes that map to an apex altitude of 6,800 km over the magnetic equator using International Geomagnetic Reference Field. The formation of this extended density depletion structure is suggested to be due to the merging between the altitudinal/latitudinal extension of EPBs driven by strong prompt penetration electric field and midlatitude TIDs. Moreover, the poleward portion of the depletion/irregularity drifted westward and reached the equatorward boundary of the ionospheric main trough. This westward drift occurred at the same time as the sudden expansion of the convection pattern and could be attributed to the strong returning westward flow near the subauroral polarization stream region. Other possible mechanisms for the westward tilt are also discussed. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We have used all-sky imaging to relate different types of auroral oval
disturbances to large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (LSTIDs). We selected eight nights with good all-sky imaging and Global Positioning System total electron content coverage, including five non-storm time periods with isolated initiations of geomagnetic activity and three storm main phase periods with continuous activity. Periods with LSTIDs generally started and stopped with initiation and cessation of activity. We found evidence that individual LSTIDs often show 1-1 correspondence with identifiable auroral disturbances, disturbances either being related to a substorm onset or to auroral streamers without a substorm. Since substorm ground magnetic depressions are directly related to the electric fields and electron precipitation of auroral streamers, we hypothesize that streamers may be the primary drivers of individual nightside LSTIDs with or without a substorm. Additionally, we found evidence that (1) LSTIDs detection is more likely near the longitude range of the initiating disturbance than further away, (2) the orientation of LSTID phase fronts depends on location relative to disturbance longitude, and (3) disturbance ionospheric current and magnetic latitude may influence whether a given disturbance leads to a detectable LSTID. Numerous LSTIDs (10 to 12 over 7- to 8-hr periods) were detected during southward interplanetary magnetic field periods of coronal mass ejection storm main phases, the vast majority reflecting streamers in the absence of substorms. Less LSTIDs were seen during the one examined high-speed-stream storm. We have also found evidence that omega band disturbances may drive interesting TIDs that are distinct from the LSTIDs driven by the substorm and streamer disturbances. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This study presents a compilation of more than 40 years of
seismotectonic data, including 54 computed focal mechanisms, combined with 15 years of GPS data coming from a dense network of 35 permanent GPS stations within the Jura arc and its vicinity. These data are compared to previous available geomorphological, geophysical, and structural studies in order to discuss the 3D distribution of the deformation within the Jura arc. GPS data show coherent schemes in terms of velocities and allowed to discriminate between two provinces (NE of the belt and in its front/foreland). They also constrain a low but significant overall strain tensor with a NNW-SSE shortening of 2.16 nanostrain/year associated with an ENE-WSW extension of 0.44 nanostrain/year. The seismotectonic approach is based on a data set of 2,400 events and 54 focal mechanisms. Inversions of the focal mechanisms both globally and in homogeneous sectors highlight a general strike-slip deformation regime, with sigma1 oriented NW-SE and sigma3 oriented NE-SW. We discriminate two different sectors in terms of basement/cover (un)coupling: (1) potentially decoupled deformation between the basement and the sedimentary cover in the NE part; and (2) coupled deformation in the sedimentary cover and its basement in the Jura foreland. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The availability of GPS survey data spanning 22 years, along with
several independent velocity solutions including up to 16 years of permanent GPS data, presents a unique opportunity to search for persistent (and thus reliable) deformation patterns in the Western Alps, which in turn allow a reinterpretation of the active tectonics of this region. While GPS velocities are still too uncertain to be interpreted on an individual basis, the analysis of range-perpendicular GPS velocity profiles clearly highlights zones of extension in the center of the belt (15.3 to 3.1 nanostrain/year from north to south), with shortening in the forelands. The contrasting geodetic deformation pattern is coherent with earthquake focal mechanisms and related strain/stress patterns over the entire Western Alps. The GPS results finally provide a reliable and robust quantification of the regional strain rates. The observed vertical motions of 2.0 to 0.5 mm/year of uplift from north to south in the core of the Western Alps is interpreted to result from buoyancy forces related to postglacial rebound, erosional unloading, and/or viscosity anomalies in the crustal and lithospheric root. Spatial decorrelation between vertical and horizontal (seismicity related) deformation calls for a combination of processes to explain the complex present-day dynamics of the Western Alps. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We investigate ionospheric perturbations associated with traveling
ionospheric disturbance (TID) during the geomagnetic storm on Memorial Day weekend (28 May) 2017. Results show the presence of both equatorward propagating large-scale TIDs (LSTIDs) and poleward propagating medium-scale TIDs. Equatorward moving TIDs are connected with enhanced auroral activity owing to geomagnetic storm conditions, while poleward TIDs are believed to be induced by local atmospheric gravity wave sources originating from convection activities near the West Coast of North America. Measurements from magnetometers located in the west, central, and east regions of North America are used to evaluate energy inputs from the auroral belt, and these observations confirm that equatorward LSTIDs are due to geomagnetic disturbance. The observed LSTID waves were characterized by some uncommon features, such as horizontal wavefront stretching from coast to coast, aligned in the NW to SE direction, and propagating to the southwest (equatorward) direction during the storm main phase period. In contrast, during the recovery phase and on other experimental control days, the observed medium-scale TIDs were characterized with relatively smaller wavelengths aligned in the NW to SE direction and propagate primarily in the northeast (poleward) direction. Our results also reveal that LSTID waves appear to travel faster in the central continental region compared to LSTIDs in the western and eastern regions. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: A data ingestion method in reproducing ionospheric electron density and
total electron content (TEC) was developed to incorporate TEC products from the Madrigal Database into the NeQuick 2 model. The method is based on retrieving an appropriate global distribution of effective ionization parameter (Az) to drive the NeQuick 2 model, which can be implemented through minimizing the difference between the measured and modeled TEC at each grid in the local time-modified dip latitude coordinates. The performance of this Madrigal TEC-driven-NeQuick 2 result is validated through the comparison with various International Global Navigation Satellite Systems Services global ionospheric maps and ionosonde data. The validation results show that a general accuracy improvement of 30-50% can be achieved after data ingestion. In addition, the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis technique is used to construct a parameterized time-varying global Az model. The quick convergence of EOF decomposition makes it possible to use the first six EOF series to represent over 90% of the total variances. The intrinsic diurnal variation and spatial distribution in the original data set can be well reflected by the constructed EOF base functions. The associated EOF coefficients can be expressed as a set of linear functions of F_10.7 and Ap indices, combined with a series of trigonometric functions with annual/seasonal variation components. The NeQuick TEC driven by EOF-modeled Az shows 10-15% improvement in accuracy over the standard ionosphere correction algorithm in the Galileo navigation system. These preliminary results demonstrate the effectiveness of the combined data ingestion and EOF modeling technique in improving the specifications of ionospheric density variations. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Coherent-scatter, high-frequency, phased-array radars create narrow
beams through the use of constructive and destructive interference patterns. This formation method leads to the creation of a secondary beam, or lobe, that is sent out behind the radar. This study investigates the relative importance of the beams in front of and behind the high-frequency radar located in Hankasalmi, Finland, using observations taken over a solar cycle, as well as coincident observations from Hankasalmi and the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe Radio Receiver Instrument. These observations show that the relative strength of the front and rear beams is frequency dependent, with the relative amount of power sent to the front lobe increasing with increasing frequency. At the range of frequencies used by Hankasalmi, both front and rear beams are always present, though the main beam is always stronger than the rear lobe. Because signals are always transmitted to the front and rear of the radar, it is always possible to receive backscatter from both return directions. Examining the return direction as a function of local time, season, and solar cycle shows that the dominant return direction depends primarily on the local ionospheric structure. Diurnal changes in plasma density typically cause an increase in the amount of groundscatter returning from the rear lobe at night, though the strength of this variation has a seasonal dependence. Solar cycle variations are also seen in the groundscatter return direction, modifying the existing local time and seasonal variations. |

| Mathey, M., Walpersdorf, A., Baize, S., Sue, C., Doin, M.-P. and Potin, B. | 3D deformation in the South-Western European Alps (Briançon region) revealed by 20 years of geodetic data | 2018 | EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts, pp. 10415 | inproceedings | DOI |
| Abstract: The overall Briançon region undergoes a moderate but steady
seismic activity with instrumental magnitudes up to Ml 5.0. Previous studies pointed out that this area is characterized by a great majority of extensional and dextral focal mechanisms, along north-south to N160 oriented faults. Current works aim at measuring and quantify the upper-crustal deformation in this seismically active area, and to decipher the seismic part of the deformation. A dense, local network of 30 GPS stations, covering a 50 texttimes 60 km2 area has been temporarily surveyed in 1996, 2006, 2011 and 2016 by GPS, which represent one of the longest repeated set of geodetic campaigns in the European Alps. The combined analysis of the GPS temporary surveys over 20 years with the continuous GPS measurements over 18 years from the French RENAG network confirms horizontal velocity amplitudes below 1 mm/year within the local network. The long observation interval and the redundancy of the dense campaign network measurement help to constrain a significant local deformation pattern in the Briançon region, yielding an average E-W extension of 22 \pm 8 nanostrain/year, coherent with but more precise than previous results obtained before the 2016 measurements. The direction and amplitude of the geodetic rate is both qualitatively and quantitatively coherent with the deformation rate previously derived from 37 years of seismic data (1970-2007). The next step of this project will be to reassess the seismic stress/strain with an up to date database all over the western Alps to better constrain the geodetic vs. seismic deformation rates. A good vertical accuracy is also revealed for the first time in the area by the long time span of temporary GPS observations. We find that the accuracy of vertical measures depends on the type of geodetic marker used, namely screw marks and classical bolt marks, the first ones being well coherent with permanent station velocities. Our new integrated analysis (including the 2016 survey) confirms a vertical average rate of 0.78 \pm 0.5 mm/yr over 10 years of measurement for the 19 screw marks. The uplift of the core (so-called high chain) of the Alpine belt in this extensional regime has already been observed on a larger scale by permanent GPS stations, and is well discussed. Thanks to the forced antenna centering, dense campaign networks are able to provide significant constraints on geodynamic models of the Alps, with a complementary spatial coverage with respect to permanent GPS networks. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: During solar eclipses, the Moon's shadow causes a large reduction in
atmospheric energy input, including not only the stratosphere but also the thermosphere and ionosphere. The eclipse shadow has a supersonic motion which is theoretically expected to generate atmospheric bow waves, similar to a fast-moving river boat, with waves starting in the lower atmosphere and propagating into the ionosphere. However, previous geographically limited observations have had difficulty detecting these weak waves within the natural background atmospheric variability, and the existence of eclipse-induced ionospheric waves and their evolution in a complex coupling system remain controversial. During the 21 August 2017 eclipse, high fidelity and wide coverage ionospheric observations provided for the first time an oversampled set of eclipse data, using a dense network of Global Navigation Satellite System receivers at \sim2,000 sites in North America. We show the first unambiguous evidence of ionospheric bow waves as electron content disturbances over central/eastern United States, with \sim1 h duration, 300-400 km wavelength and 280 m/s phase speed emanating from and tailing the totality region. We also identify large ionospheric perturbations moving at the supersonic speed of the maximum solar obscuration which are too fast to be associated with known gravity wave or large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbance processes. This study reveals complex interconnections between the Sun, Moon, and Earth's neutral atmosphere and ionosphere and demonstrates persistent coupling processes between different components of the Earth's atmosphere, a topic of significant community interest. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: On 21 August 2017, during daytime hours, a total solar eclipse with a
narrow \sim160 km wide umbral shadow occurred across the continental United States. Totality was observed from the Oregon coast at \sim9:15 local standard time (LST) (17:20 UT) to the South Carolina coast at \sim13:27 LST (18:47 UT). A dense network of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers was utilized to produce total electron content (TEC) and differential TEC. These data were analyzed for the latitudinal and longitudinal response of the TEC and for the presence of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) during eclipse passage. A significant TEC depletion, in some cases greater than 60%, was observed associated with the eclipse shadow, exceeding initial model predictions of 35%. Evidence of enhanced large- scale TID activity was detected over the United States prior to and following the large TEC depletion observed near the time of totality. Signatures of enhanced TEC structures were observed over the Rocky Mountain chain during the main period of TEC depletion. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Assessing the vertical land motion (VLM) at tide gauges (TG) is crucial
to understanding global and regional mean sea-level changes (SLC) over the last century. However, estimating VLM with accuracy better than a few tenths of a millimeter per year is not a trivial undertaking and many factors, including the reference frame uncertainty, must be considered. Using a novel reconstruction approach and updated geodetic VLM corrections, we found the terrestrial reference frame and the estimated VLM uncertainty may contribute to the global SLC rate error by \pm 0.2 mmyr^-1. In addition, a spurious global SLC acceleration may be introduced up to \pm 4.8 texttimes10^-3 mmyr^-2. Regional SLC rate and acceleration errors may be inflated by a factor 3 compared to the global. The difference of VLM from two independent Glacio-Isostatic Adjustment models introduces global SLC rate and acceleration biases at the level of \pm 0.1 mmyr^-1 and 2.8 texttimes10^-3 mmyr^-2, increasing up to 0.5 mm yr^-1 and 9 texttimes10^-3 mmyr^-2 for the regional SLC. Errors in VLM corrections need to be budgeted when considering past and future SLC scenarios. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Improper modeling of horizontal tropospheric gradients in GPS analysis
induces errors in estimated parameters, with the largest impact on heights and tropospheric zenith delays. The conventional two- axis tilted plane model of horizontal gradients fails to provide an accurate representation of tropospheric gradients under weather conditions with asymmetric horizontal changes of refractivity. A new parametrization of tropospheric gradients whereby an arbitrary number of gradients are estimated as discrete directional wedges is shown via simulations to significantly improve the accuracy of recovered tropospheric zenith delays in asymmetric gradient scenarios. In a case study of an extreme rain event that occurred in September 2002 in southern France, the new directional parametrization is able to isolate the strong gradients in particular azimuths around the GPS stations consistent with the ``V'' shape spatial pattern of the observed precipitation. In another study of a network of GPS stations in the Sierra Nevada region where highly asymmetric tropospheric gradients are known to exist, the new directional model significantly improves the repeatabilities of the stations in asymmetric gradient situations while causing slightly degraded repeatabilities for the stations in normal symmetric gradient conditions. The average improvement over the entire network is \sim31%, while the improvement for one of the worst affected sites P631 is \sim49% (from 8.5 mm to 4.3 mm) in terms of weighted root-mean-square (WRMS) error and \sim82% (from -1.1 to -0.2) in terms of skewness. At the same station, the use of the directional model changes the estimates of zenith wet delay by 15 mm (\sim25%). |

| Abstract: We present here a new pan-European velocity field, obtained by
processing 500+ cGPS stations in double difference, in the framework of the implementation phase of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) project. This prototype solution spans the 2000-2016 period, and includes data from RING, NOA, RENAG and European Permanent Network (EPN) cGPS netwprks. The data set is first split into daily sub-networks (between 8 and 14 sub- networks). The sub-networks consist in about 40 stations, with 2 overlapping stations. For each day and for each sub-network, the GAMIT processing is conducted independently. Once each sub- network achieves satisfactory results, a daily combination is performed in order to produce SINEX files. The Chi square value associated with the combination allows us to evaluate its quality. Eventually, a multi year combination generates position time series for each station. Each time series is visualized and the jumps associated with material change (antenna or receiver) are estimated and corrected. This procedure allows us to generate daily solutions and position time series for all stations. The associated ``interseismic'' velocity field has then been estimated using a times series analysis using MIDAS software, and compared to another independent estimate obtained by Kalman filtering with globk software. In addition to this velocity field we made a specific zoom on Italy and present a strain rate map as well as time series showing co- and post- seismic movements associated with the 2016 Amatrice and Norcia earthquakes. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We use incoherent scatter radar observations at Millstone Hill (MHO) and
Arecibo (AO) and topside ionosphere in situ Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) observations during the great geomagnetic storm on 17-18 March 2015 to conduct a focused study on ion-neutral coupling and storm time ionosphere and thermosphere dynamics. Some of these observations were made around the time of large ionospheric drifts within a subauroral polarization stream (SAPS). During the storm main phase, we identify multiple disturbance characteristics in the North American late afternoon and dusk sector. (1) Strong subauroral westward drifts occurred between 20 and 24 UT near MHO, accompanied by a storm enhanced density plume passage over MHO in the afternoon with a poleward/upward ion drift. The strongly westward flow reached 2000 m/s speed near the poleward plume edge. (2) Prompt penetration electric field signatures, appearing as poleward/upward ion drifts on the dayside over both MHO and AO, were consistent with DMSP vertical drift data and contributed to plume development. (3) Meridional wind equatorward surges occurred during daytime hours at MHO, followed by 2-3 h period oscillations at both MHO and AO. The zonal electric field at AO was strongly correlated with the wind oscillation. (4) Large ion temperature enhancements as well as 50+ m/s upward ion drifts throughout the E and F regions were observed during the SAPS period. These were presumably caused by strong frictional heating due to large plasma drifts. The heating effects appeared to drive significant atmospheric upwelling, and corresponding ion upflow was also observed briefly. This study highlights some of the important effects of fast plasma transport as well as other disturbance dynamics on ion-neutral coupling during a single intensification period within a great geomagnetic storm. |

plasmasphere system response to the 17 March 2015 geomagnetic storm using the coupled SAMI3-RCM code. The novel feature of this work is that we capture the important storm time dynamics of the ionosphere on a global scale and its manifestation in the plasmasphere. We find that the penetration electric fields associated with the magnetic storm lead to a storm time enhanced density in the low- to middle-latitude ionosphere. We compare the modeled total electron content (TEC) with GPS-measured TEC in the American sector. Additionally, we observe the development of polar cap ``tongues of ionization'' and the formation of subauroral plasma streams in the postsunset, premidnight sector, and its impact on the plasmasphere. However, we did not see the development of plasmaspheric plumes during this event which we attribute to the long main phase of the storm (\sim18 h). |

| Abstract: It is well known that owing to the transport of high-density sunlit
plasma from dayside to nightside primarily by convection, polar cap tongue of ionization (TOI), polar cap patches, and blobs are common features in the polar ionosphere. The steep density gradients at the edges of these structures lead to severe problems in applications involving radio waves traversing the ionosphere. To better understand the evolution of TOI/patches/blobs, it is essential to examine how the transported sunlit plasma is distributed. Through averaging the hourly total electron content in solar-maximum winter, we present complete distribution of polar ionospheric plasma and find that the dayside plasma can be transported through cusp, over polar cap, and eventually to the prevailing dawnside, showing asymmetric distribution around magnetic midnight. The negative interplanetary magnetic field B_y or B_z component is favored for the plasma transportation from dayside to the prevailing dawn sector. This provides direct evidence for the plasma source of the dawnside high-density plasma structure. The same corotating convection direction as convection at auroral dawnside is responsible for the prevailing dawn sector transportation. This finding is significant for forecasting TOI/patches/blobs in conducting space weather in the polar ionosphere. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The source and structuring mechanisms for F region density patches have
been subjects of speculation and debate for many years. We have made a survey of mappings of total electron content (TEC) between the years 2009 and 2015 from the web-based Madrigal data server in order to determine when patches and/or a tongue of ionization (TOI) have been present in the Northern Hemisphere polar cap; we find that there is a UT and seasonal dependence that follows a specific pattern. This finding sheds considerable light upon the old question of the source of polar cap patches, since it virtually eliminates potential patch plasma sources that do not have a UT/seasonal dependence, for example, particle precipitation or flux transfer events. We also find that the frequency of occurrence of patches or TOIs has little to do with the level of geomagnetic activity. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The daytime midlatitude plasma depletions (DMLPDs) observed on 22 May
2014 and 20 May 2015 by the Swarm constellation are not explained by any known natural phenomena. The DMLPDs were detected after rocket launches, and the DMLPD traces converged to the launch station. The event in 2015, for which sufficient total electron content (TEC) data are available, is accompanied with TEC depletion lasting for about 6 h. The persistence generally agrees with the lifetime expected for rocket exhaust depletions (REDs) which is determined by the recombination of the ionospheric oxygen ion with water molecules in the rocket exhaust. These results lead to the conclusion that DMLPDs are REDs in the topside. The RED characteristics identified from the observations on both days are (1) enhancement in electron temperature, (2) reduction in electron pressure, and (3) absence of substructures down to scale sizes of about 8 km (Nyquist's scale size). |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Over the last two decades, maps of GPS total electron content (TEC) have
improved our understanding of the large perturbations in ionospheric electron density which occur during geomagnetic storms. However, previous regional and global studies of ionospheric storms have performed only a limited separation of storm time, local time, longitudinal, and seasonal effects. Using 13 years of GPS TEC data, we present a complete statistical characterization of the ionospheric response to geomagnetic storms for midlatitudes in the North American sector where dense ground receiver coverage is available. The rapid onset of a positive phase is observed across much of the dayside and evening ionosphere followed by a longer-lasting negative phase across all latitudes and local times. Our results show clear seasonal variations in the storm time TEC, such that summer events tend to be dominated by the negative storm response while winter events exhibit a stronger initial positive phase with minimal negative storm effects. We find no discernable difference between spring and fall equinox events with both being equivalent to the average storm time response across all seasons. We also identify a prominent magnetic declination effect such that stronger dayside positive storm effects are observed in regions of negative declination (i.e., eastern North America). On the nightside, asymmetries in the TEC response are observed near the auroral oval and midlatitude trough which may be attributed to thermospheric zonal winds pushing plasma upward/downward along field lines of opposite declination. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Based on 5 years of measurements of integrated water vapor (IWV),
surface mixing ratio (MR), and rain rate, we investigate the relationship between the water vapor field evolution and the precipitation lifecycle. We show that in 76% of the cases the IWV reaches a maximum before the peak of precipitation, with the precipitation peak occurring on average 20 min after the IWV maximum. This delay can be related to the fall time of the precipitation. We also show that the moister the atmosphere, the greater the precipitation rates and the longer the delay. Unlike the IWV, the MR reaches a maximum after the precipitation peak in 60% of the cases, highlighting the interest of IWV compared to surface MR only. This paper and the discussions within it open a pathway to complementary studies and applications for heavy precipitation prediction. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The intra-plate deformation of the Upper Rhine Graben (URG) located in
Central Europe is investigated using geodetic measurement techniques. We present a new approach to calculate a combined velocity field from InSAR, levelling and GNSS measurements. As the expected tectonic movements in the URG area are small (less than 1 mm a^-1), the best possible solutions for linear velocity rates from single-technique analyses are estimated in a first step. Second, we combine the velocity rates obtained from InSAR (line of sight velocity rates in ascending and descending image geometries), levelling (vertical velocity rates) and GNSS (horizontal velocity rates) using least-squares adjustment (LSA). Focusing on the Northern URG area, we analyse SAR data on four different image stacks (ERS ascending, ERS descending, Envisat ascending, Envisat descending) using the Persistent Scatterer (PS) approach. The linear velocity rates in ascending and descending image geometries, respectively, are estimated in an LSA from joint time-series analysis of ERS and Envisat data. Vertical velocity rates from levelling are obtained from a consistent adjustment of more than 40 000 measured height differences using a kinematic displacement model. Horizontal velocity rates in east and north direction are calculated from a time-series analysis of daily coordinate estimates at 76 permanently operating GNSS sites in the URG region. As the locations, at which the measurement data of PS-InSAR, levelling and GNSS reside, do not coincide, spatial interpolation is needed during several steps of the rigorous processing. We use Ordinary Kriging to interpolate from a given set of data points to the locations of interest with a special focus on the modeling and propagation of errors. The final 3-D velocity field is calculated at a 200 m grid, which carries values only close to the location of PS points, resulting in a mean horizontal and vertical precision of 0.30 and 0.13 mm a^-1, respectively. The vertical component of the combined velocity field shows a significant subsidence of about 0.5 mm a^-1 in the northern part of the graben coinciding with a well-known quaternary basin structure. Horizontal displacement rates of up to 0.8 mm a^-1 in southeast direction are observed outside the graben, in reasonable alignment with the average direction of maximum horizontal stress. Within the graben, the velocity directions rotate toward east in the non-subsiding part, while an opposite trend is observed in the subsiding part of the graben. The complexities of the observed velocity field are compatible to the geomechanical situation in our investigation area which is characterized by a transition from a restraining to a releasing bend setting. Glacial isostatic adjustment is another potential source influencing the observed velocity field, as well as anthropogenic signals due to mining, oil exploration and groundwater usage that have been identified in some places. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We report a significant poleward surge in thermospheric winds at
subauroral and midlatitudes following the 17-18 March 2015 great geomagnetic storm. This premidnight surge is preceded by strong westward winds. These disturbances were observed over three sites with geodetic latitudes 35-42textdegreeN in the American sector by Fabry-Perot interferometers at 630 nm wavelength. Prior to the wind disturbances, subauroral polarization streams (SAPS) were measured by the Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar between 20 and 02 UT. We identify the observed neutral wind variations as driven by SAPS, through a scenario where strong ion flows cause a westward neutral wind, subsequently establishing a poleward wind surge due to the poleward Coriolis force on that westward wind. These regional disturbances appear to have prevented the well-known storm time equatorward wind surge from propagating into low latitudes, with the consequence that the classic disturbance dynamo mechanism failed to occur. |

| Abstract: The three geodetic techniques InSAR, levelling and GNSS are
complementary w.r.t. (i) the sensitivity to horizontal and vertical displacement components, (ii) the spatial and temporal resolution of the measurements and (iii) the accuracy of the resulting displacements. We present a strategy to robustly combine the displacement estimates of the three techniques with a focus on long-term, linear movements. The linear displacement rates from InSAR in ascending and descending image geometry are combined with vertical and horizontal rates from levelling and GNSS, respectively, resulting in 3D velocity vectors at a dense surface grid. The results of our combination approach indicate that it is possible to derive realistic surface movements on the sub-mm/a scale with significance. |

| Abstract: A dense, local network of 30 geodetic markers covering a 50 texttimes
60 km^2 area in the southwestern European Alps (Briançon region) has been temporarily surveyed in 1996, 2006 and 2011 by GPS. The aim is to measure the current deformation in this seismically active area. The study zone is characterized by a majority of extensional and dextral focal mechanisms, along north-south to N160 oriented faults. The combined analysis of the three measurement campaigns over 15 years and up to 16 years of permanent GPS data from the French RENAG network now enables to assess horizontal velocities below 1 mm/year within the local network. The long observation interval and the redundancy of the dense campaign network measurement help to constrain a significant local deformation pattern in the Briançon region, yielding an average E-W extension of 16 \pm 11 nanostrain/year. We compare the geodetic deformation field to the seismic deformation rate cumulated over 37 years, and obtain good coherencies both in amplitude and direction. Moreover, the horizontal deformation localized in the Briançon region represents a major part of the Adriatic-European relative plate motion. However, the average uplift of the network in an extensional setting needs the presence of buoyancy forces in addition to plate tectonics. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Over the past 20years, repeat-pass spaceborne interferometric synthetic
aperture radar (InSAR) has been widely used as a geodetic technique to generate maps of the Earth's topography and to measure the Earth's surface deformation. In this paper, we present a new approach to exploit microwave data from InSAR, particularly Persistent Scatterer InSAR (PSI), and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to derive maps of the absolute water vapor content in the Earth's atmosphere. Atmospheric water vapor results in a phase shift in the InSAR interferogram, which if successfully separated from other phase components provides valuable information about its distribution. PSI produces precipitable water vapor (PWV) difference maps of a high spatial density, which can be inverted using the least squares method to retrieve PWV maps at each SAR acquisition time. These maps do not contain the absolute (total) PWV along the signal path but only a part of it. The components eliminated by forming interferograms or phase filtering during PSI data processing are reconstructed using GNSS phase observations. The approach is applied to build maps of absolute PWV by combining data from InSAR and GNSS over the region of Upper Rhine Graben in Germany and France. For validation, we compared the derived PWV maps with PWV maps measured by the optical sensor MEdium- Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. The results show strong spatial correlation with values of uncertainty of less than 1.5mm. Continuous grids of PWV are then produced by applying the kriging geostatistical interpolation technique that exploits the spatial correlations between the PWV observations. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate
boundary zones constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v.2.1) is a vast improvement over its predecessor both in terms of amount of data input as in an increase in spatial model resolution by factor of \sim2.5 in areas with dense data coverage. We determined 6739 velocities from time series of (mostly) continuous GPS measurements; i.e., by far the largest global velocity solution to date. We transformed 15,772 velocities from 233 (mostly) published studies onto our core solution to obtain 22,511 velocities in the same reference frame. Care is taken to not use velocities from stations (or time periods) that are affected by transient phenomena; i.e., this data set consists of velocities best representing the interseismic plate velocity. About 14% of the Earth is allowed to deform in 145,086 deforming grid cells (0.25textdegree longitude by 0.2textdegree latitude in dimension). The remainder of the Earth's surface is modeled as rigid spherical caps representing 50 tectonic plates. For 36 plates we present new GPS-derived angular velocities. For all the plates that can be compared with the most recent geologic plate motion model, we find that the difference in angular velocity is significant. The rigid-body rotations are used as boundary conditions in the strain rate calculations. The strain rate field is modeled using the Haines and Holt method, which uses splines to obtain an self-consistent interpolated velocity gradient tensor field, from which strain rates, vorticity rates, and expected velocities are derived. We also present expected faulting orientations in areas with significant vorticity, and update the no-net rotation reference frame associated with our global velocity gradient field. Finally, we present a global map of recurrence times for M_w=7.5 characteristic earthquakes. |

| Abstract: COOPEUS, the European Union project to strengthen the cooperation
between the US and the EU in the field of environmental research infrastructures, is linking the US NSF-supported geodesy Facility at UNAVCO with the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) in joint research infrastructure enhancement activities that will ultimately advance international geodesy data discovery and access. (COOPEUS also links a broad set of additional EU and US based Earth, oceans, and environmental science research entities in joint research infrastructure enhancement activities.) The UNAVCO Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, archives for preservation and distributes geodesy data and products, including hosting GNSS data from 2,500 continuously operating stations around the globe. UNAVCO is only one of several hundred data centers worldwide hosting GNSS data, which are valuable for scientific research, education, hazards assessment and monitoring, and emergency management. However, the disparate data holdings structures, metadata encodings, and infrastructures at these data centers represent a significant obstacle to use by scientists, government entities, educators and the public. Recently a NASA-funded project at UNAVCO and two partner geodesy data centers in the US (CDDIS and SOPAC) has successfully designed and implemented software for simplified data search and access called the Geodesy Seamless Archive Centers (GSAC). GSAC is a web services based technology that is intended to be simple to install and run for most geodesy data centers. The GSAC services utilize a repository layer and a service layer to identify and present both the required metadata elements along with any data center-specific services and capabilities. In addition to enabling web services and related capabilities at the data center level, GSAC repository code can be implemented to federate two or more GSAC-enabled data centers wishing to present a unified search and access capability to their user community. In Europe, several institutions that are part of EPOS including University of Beira Interior (Portugal); Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (Italy); National Observatory of Athens (Greece); RENAG, GeoAzur (France); Vedurstofa Islands (Iceland Meteorological Office), and EUREF Permanent Network Central Bureau (Belgium), each host data from GNSS station networks. These EPOS members have all implemented GSAC at their respective data centers for internal testing and/or public utilization. In the US, GSAC has been successfully used in both repository and federated implementations at three data centers, each maintaining their own local information architecture to manage their respective data and metadata holdings. These capacities of GSAC will also be utilized in the EPOS context. Lessons have been learned through the GSAC installations so far that show the way for augmenting data center information architecture to both maximize the capabilities of GSAC to allow unified data and metadata presentation for search and access. |

| Abstract: The Jura Mountain, the westernmost belt of the alpine orogeny, is one of
the best-studied orogenic arcs in the world. The Jura arc is a typical fold-and-thrust belt, with a main décollement thrust localized in the Triasic evaporites under the Jurassic- Cretaceous series. It is directly linked to the alpine orogenic wedge, especially in term of critical taper. It is supposed to be still active in collision mode, which would rise up the issue of its relation with the Alps to the East, currently undergoing post-orogenic gravitational potential adjustment. Nevertheless, its current activity and recent deformation remain a matter of debate, few neotectonic-related data being available in this area. The Jura is crosscut by left-lateral strike-slip faults in a radial scheme with respect to the arc, and recent seismicity along one of them, the Vuache fault (Annecy earthquake Ml 5.3 1996), and at the northern front of the belt (Beaume-les-Dames earthquake, Ml 5.1, 2004), argues for ongoing active deformation across the Jura Mountain. Here we present preliminary results of permanent GPS network surrounding the Jura belt (RENAG and RPG data), which tend to show very slow, yet self-consistent strain pattern of the order of some tenth of mm/yr over 100 km-long typical baselines, with shortening perpendicular to the arc, and extension parallel to its axial trend. We also characterize a slow uplift in the same order of magnitude, which appears to be correlated to the current uplift observed in the Alps. Indeed, the uplift velocities are continuously decreasing from the core of the Alps (+2 mm/yr) to the westernmost part of the Jura (+0,4 mm/yr) and to the stable foreland (-0.1 mm/yr). Actually, from the Po plain to the Jura foreland, the GPS-related uplift velocities are well correlated to the topography, and the Jura arc appears connected to the Alps from this point of view. In order to better determine the deformation pattern in the Jura arc, we present a new regional GNSS permanent network (GPS-JURA, Besançon observatory) developed at the end of 2013, which will allow in a near future to accurately characterize and quantify the current strain pattern of this emblematic arc. |

| Abstract: The Mediterranean hydrometeorological observatory Cévennes-Vivarais
(OHM-CV) coordinates hydrometeorological observations (radars, rain gauges, water level stations) on a regional scale in southeastern France. In the framework of OHM-CV, temporary GPS measurements have been carried out for 2 months in autumn 2002, when the heaviest rainfall are expected. These measurements increase the spatial density of the existing permanent GPS network, by adding three more receivers between the Mediterranean coast and the Cévennes-Vivarais range to monitor maritime source of water vapour flow feeding the precipitating systems over the Cévennes-Vivarais region. In addition, a local network of 18 receivers covered an area of 30 by 30 km within the field of view of the meteorological radar. These regional and local networks of permanent and temporary stations are used to monitor the precipitable water vapour (PWV) with high temporal resolution (15 min). Also, the dense local network provided data which have been inverted using tomographic techniques to obtain the 3-D field of tropospheric water vapour content. This study presents methodological tests for retrieving GPS tropospheric observations from dense networks, with the aim of assessing the uncertainties of GPS retrievals. Using optimal tropospheric GPS retrieval methods, high resolution measurements of PWV on a local scale (a few kilometres) are discussed for rain events. Finally, the results of 3-D fields of water vapour densities from GPS tomography are analysed with respect to precipitation fields derived from a meteorological radar, showing a good correlation between precipitation and water vapour depletion areas. |

| Abstract: InSAR, GNSS and precise levelling provide a unique database to detect
recent displacements of the Earth's surface. Data of all three measurement techniques have been collected in order to gain detailed insight into the horizontal and vertical velocity field of the Upper Rhine Graben (URG) area. This paper presents the database and the processing strategies for the calculation of displacements from InSAR, GNSS and levelling measurements in the URG area. Man-induced surface deformations caused by oil extraction in the Northern URG are investigated serving as a study area for the comparison of techniques. In order to benefit from the advantages of each technique we present a strategy to consistently link the different observation methods in a multi- technique approach. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Datasets of the GNSS Upper Rhine Graben Network (GURN) and the national
levelling networks in Germany, France and Switzerland are investigated with respect to current surface displacements in the Upper Rhine Graben (URG) area. GURN consists of about 80 permanent GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) stations. The terrestrial levelling network comprises 1st and 2nd order levelling lines that have been remeasured at intervals of roughly 25 years, starting in 1922. Compared to earlier studies national institutions and private companies made available raw data, allowing for consistent solutions for the URG region. We focussed on the southern and eastern parts of the investigation area. Our preliminary results show that the levelling and GNSS datasets are sensitive to resolve small surface displacement rates down to an order of magnitude of 0.2 mm/a and 0.4 mm/a, respectively. The observed horizontal velocity components for a test region south of Strasbourg, obtained from GNSS coordinate time series, vary around 0.5 mm/a. The results are in general agreement with interseismic strain built-up in a sinistral strike-slip regime. Since the accuracy of the GNSS derived vertical component is insufficient, data of precise levelling networks is used to determine vertical displacement rates. More than 75% of the vertical rates obtained from a kinematic adjustment of 1st order levelling lines in the eastern part of URG vary between - 0.2 mm/a and + 0.2 mm/a, indicating that this region behaves stable. Higher rates up to 0.5 mm/a in a limited region south of Freiburg are in general agreement with active faulting. We conclude that both networks deliver stable results that reflect real surface movements in the URG area. We note, however, that geodetically observed surface displacements generally result from a superposition of different effects, and that a separation in tectonic and non-tectonic processes needs additional information and expertise. |

| Abstract: We describe in this paper different improvements that were brought to

This work was realized in the frame of a French-Italian ALCOTRA project (RISE), aimed at modernizing the broadband seismic networks across our common border. We had the opportunity with this project to improve some of our seismic recording sites, both in term of sensor installation quality, and in term of reliability. We detail in particular the thermal and barometric protection system that we designed and show its effect on the reduction of long period noise above 20 s. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: I combine recently published GPS results to derive a geodetic horizontal
velocity field consistent at the scale of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Alpine belts. The velocity field is then used to discuss the boundary conditions around each major deforming area in the Mediterranean, to describe the main patterns of motion and deformation, to critically review the existing kinematics models and to finally point out the main unresolved kinematics questions. Strain rate in Europe north of the Alpines belt is dominated by the signature of the Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and tectonic strain remains below the current accuracy of GPS results. In the western Mediterranean, deformation is restricted to the Betics, the Alboran and the Morrocan Rif, with west-to- southwestward motion with respect to Iberia, which is part of stable Europe. Shortening, consistent with the relative Nubia/Eurasia plate motion, is found throughout the Maghrebides, but the distribution of deformation in northern Africa remains largely unknown. The central Mediterranean is dominated by the counter-clockwise rotation of the Adriatic. The junction between the southern Adriatic domain and Nubia has yet to be firmly established. The deformation over a wide area, east of the Maghrebides, in Tunisia and the gulf of Sirte in Libya still remains to be quantified. In the eastern Mediterranean, the velocity field is dominated by a general anti-clockwise rotation and a general trend towards the Hellenic trench, with velocity magnitude increasing with decreasing distances from the trench. This trend is observed not only in the Aegean and Anatolia, but also in the southern Balkans. Geodetic results emphasize that the convergence of the Nubia and Arabia plates towards Eurasia directly controls the deformation across only very few segments along the plate boundary zone. Additional processes are therefore required to explain the observed velocity field and deformation pattern. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This study aims to correct for long-term vertical land motions at tide
gauges (TG) by estimating high-accurate GPS vertical velocities at co-located stations (GPS@TG), useful for long-term sea-level change studies and satellite altimeter drift monitoring. Global Positioning System (GPS) data reanalyses are mandatory when aiming at the highest consistency of the estimated products for the whole data period. The University of La Rochelle Consortium (ULR) has carried out several GPS data reanalysis campaigns with an increasing tracking network, an improving processing strategy and the best methodology. The geodetic results from the latest GPS velocity field estimated at ULR (named ULR5) are presented here. The velocity field includes 326 globally distributed GPS stations, from which 200 are GPS@TG (30% more than previous studies). The new GPS data processing strategy, the terrestrial frame definition and the velocity estimation procedures are described. The quality of the estimated vertical velocities is empirically assessed through internal and external velocity comparisons, including the analysis of the time-correlated noise content of the position time series, to be better than 0.6 mm/yr (2 sigma). The application of this velocity field is illustrated to appraise to what extent vertical land motions contaminate the estimates of satellite altimetry drifts. The impact on the altimeter-derived sea level trends was evaluated to be up to 0.6 mm/yr. Worldwide TGs were grouped into regions in order to explore long-term spatial sea level variability in the rates of sea level change. By taking into account the vertical land motion of the tide gauges, the dispersion of the observed sea level rates within each region was reduced by 60%. Long-term regional mean sea level variations up to 70% from the global mean were found. |

| Abstract: A network of 30 geodetic markers installed in the Briançon region,
southwestern Alps, has been surveyed in 1996, 2006 and 2011 by GPS. The study zone is characterized by a moderate seismicity with mainly extensive focal mechanisms and some dextral strike- slip along N160 oriented faults. The dense temporary GPS network covering this zone has an extent of 40 x 40 km^2. It is inserted in the French permanent GPS network for research purposes (RENAG) starting in 1998, with four permanent stations located in the study zone, two of them operational since 2005. Previous analyses combining triangulation data and the 1996 GPS campaign indicated extensional geodetic deformation rates more than 10 times higher than seismic deformation. Permanent GPS analyses of the RENAG network converge since 2000 from millimetric to sub-millimetric horizontal velocities across the western Alps, and millimetric vertical velocities indicating active uplift. While the campaign measurements present an increased error budget (antenna setup, equipment changes) with respect to continuous GPS measurements, the observation time span is longer and the network denser than the permanent GPS observations, and the two strategies therefore complementary. Moreover, the combined analysis of up to 13 years of permanent GPS data and three measurement campaigns over 15 years also evaluates sub-mm horizontal velocities in the local network. In this work, we will show if the long observation interval and the redundancy of the campaign network help constraining a significant local deformation pattern in the Briançon region. We will compare the present-day deformation field to the seismic deformation rate and discuss the implications on seismic hazard in the Briançon region. We will confront the instantaneous, geodetic strain pattern with seismotectonic and morphotectonic observations and examine its impact on the global geodynamics of the southwestern alpine arc. |

| Abstract: High spatial and temporal variations of atmospheric water vapour cause an unknown delay on microwave signals emitted from space-borne transmitters. This delay is considered as a major error source in Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) applications as well as high-precision applications of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Temporal variability of water vapour is estimated directly with a high temporal resolution from GNSS measurements. On the other hand, InSAR can provide information about the spatial variations of atmospheric water vapour. The main goal of this project is to integrate InSAR phase observations and GNSS measurements collected from sites distributed within the SAR image to derive high spatially- resolved maps of atmospheric water vapour. In this contribution research progress and first results are presented. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the processes that lead to the
ground surface deformation above the fractured crystalline aquifer of Ploemeur (French Brittany). We conducted a four-year continuous GPS data survey in order to extract the hydrogeological contribution due to the variations of the hydraulic head of the confined aquifer. The GPS configuration used in this study, with a differential setup, short baselines and adapted processing parameters, may have removed tide effects, ocean tide loading and tectonics trends. We checked in particular the case of ocean tide loading because of its important contribution in Brittany. Time series calculated with GAMIT software indicate a seasonal deformation on both vertical direction (up to 16 mm of displacement) and horizontal plane (from 3 to 12 mm of displacement) that provide a 3D motion. This sub-annual deformation is induced by variations of the hydraulic head of the aquifer and depends on its 3D hydromechanical properties. However, an offset between ground uplift and piezometric rise could not be explained by pressure variations into the deep aquifer and was linked to the variations of the hydrous state of the ground. This GPS study highlights that the hydrogeological and hydrological processes act significantly on ground motion and should be integrated in any Earth deformation survey. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Mapping complex landslides under forested terrain requires an
appropriate quality of digital terrain models (DTMs), which preserve small diagnostic features for landslide classification such as primary and secondary scarps, cracks, and displacement structures (flow-type and rigid-type). Optical satellite imagery, aerial photographs and synthetic aperture radar images are less effective to create reliable DTMs under tree coverage. Here, we utilized a very high density airborne laser scanning (ALS) data, with a point density of 140 points m ^- 2 for generating a high quality DTM for mapping landslides in forested terrain in the Barcelonnette region, the Southern French Alps. We quantitatively evaluated the preservation of morphological features and qualitatively assessed the visualization of ALS- derived DTMs. We presented a filter parameterization method suitable for landslide mapping and compared it with two default filters from the hierarchical robust interpolation (HRI) and one default filter from the progressive TIN densification (PTD) method. The results indicate that the vertical accuracy of the DTM derived from the landslide filter is about 0.04 m less accurate than that from the PTD filter. However, the landslide filter yields a better quality of the image for the recognition of small diagnostic features as depicted by expert image interpreters. Several DTM visualization techniques were compared for visual interpretation. The openness map visualized in a stereoscopic model reveals more morphologically relevant features for landslide mapping than the other filter products. We also analyzed the minimal point density in ALS data for landslide mapping and found that a point density of more than 6 points m ^- 2 is considered suitable for a detailed analysis of morphological features. This study illustrates the suitability of high density ALS data with an appropriate parameterization for the bare-earth extraction used for landslide identification and characterization in forested terrain. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This study focuses on the effects of time correlation in weekly GPS
position time series on velocity estimates. Time series 2.5 to 13 years long from a homogeneously reprocessed solution of 275 globally distributed stations are analyzed in terms of noise content and velocity uncertainty assessment. Several noise models were tested, including power law and Gauss-Markov processes. The best noise model describing our global data set was a combination of variable white noise and power law noise models with mean amplitudes of \sim2 mm and \sim6 mm, respectively, for the sites considered. This noise model provided a mean vertical velocity uncertainty of \sim0.3 mm/yr, 4-5 times larger than the uncorrelated data assumption. We demonstrated that correlated noise content with homogeneously reprocessed data is dependent on time series length and, especially, on data time period. Time series of 2-3 years of the oldest data contain noise amplitude similar to that found for time series of 12 years. The data time period should be taken into account when estimating correlated noise content, when comparing different noise estimations, or when applying an external noise estimation to assess velocity uncertainty. We showed that the data period dependency cannot be explained by the increasing tracking network or the ambiguity fixation rate but is probably related to the amount and quality of recorded data. |

| Renag Group | RESIF-RENAG : The French GPS component of a European infrastructure | 2010 | Tectonics Vol. 37(10)EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts, pp. 9725 |
inproceedings | DOI |
| Abstract: RENAG is a collaborative effort from 20 Academic Earth Sciences
Department and Institutes of France. RENAG currently operates nearly 50 Continuous GPS stations and through agreement with IGN-France and commercial compagnies, archive and routinely process about 200 sites covering France with a higher density of sites in the western Alps. RENAG recently joined RESIF (http://www.resif.fr), the cpntribution of France to EPOS. RENAG aims at (1) quantifying the slow tectonic deformation in France (2) monitoring the deformation induced by the spatial and temporal variations in continental water loading (3) providing sea level changes along the French coast with respect to a global reference frame stable in time through collocated tide- gauges and CGPS stations (4) monitoring the integrated content of water vapour in the atmosphere. We detail here the main results obtained on crustal deformation. France is an area of moderate seismicity where the associated crustal deformation has yet to be precisely quantified and understood in the frame of the regional deformation. We show that the current accuracy of velocity estimates for the sites operating since 1998 is about 0.3 mm/yr and 0.5 mm/yr on the vertical component (at the 95% confidence level). Long time-correlated noise in the time series still prevents to reach the 0.1 mm/yr accuracy. At the level of 0.3 mm/yr, no deformation is detected on the horizontal components with a WRMS of horizontal velocities with respect to the Stable Europe Reference Frame of 0.15 mm/yr. However, vertical velocities in the western Alps reach 1.5 mm/yr, and show a pattern of increase correlated with the averaged topography. Because vertical velocities magnitudes are higher than horizontal ones, the observed vertical deformation is difficult to be explained by crustal deformation induced either by current extension associated with gravitationnal spreading or driven by boundary conditions induced by the counter-clokwise rotation of the Adriatic, as proposed previously. We therefore speculate that the current observed vertical deformation reflects an on-going adjustment having a deeper origin. These results suggests that monitoring surface deformation in slow deforming areas and better understand crustal-mantle deformation within the Mediterranean plate boundary could be added as objectives of any European plate infrastructure. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This paper is devoted to a detailed investigation of a continuous record
spanning more than 10 years (1997-2007) of the Strasbourg superconducting gravimeter (SG GWR C026). We show the results from various scale factor experiments using parallel registrations with an absolute gravimeter (AG FG5#206). These results allow us to discuss the time stability of the calibration of the SG. We also superimpose the AG and SG measurements to infer the long-term instrumental drift behavior of the SG but also the seasonal effects present at our station. These long-term effects are discussed in terms of height changes by using collocated GPS measurements (since 1999) and in terms of hydrology (mainly with large scale hydrological models). The collocated GPS height changes help in separating the gravity variation due to the vertical motion of the station from the variation due to the mass redistribution. |

| Abstract: Impact of GPS (Global Positioning System) data assimilation is assessed
here using a high-resolution numerical weather prediction system at 2.5 km horizontal resolution. The Zenithal Tropospheric Delay (ZTD) GPS data from mesoscale networks are assimilated with the 3DVAR AROME data assimilation scheme. Data from more than 280 stations over the model domain have been assimilated during 15-day long assimilation cycles prior each of the two studied events. The results of these assimilation cycles show that the assimilation of GPS ZTD with the AROME system performs well in producing analyses closer to the ZTD observations in average. Then the impacts of assimilating GPS data on the precipitation forecast have been evaluated. For the first case, only the AROME runs starting a few hours prior the triggering of the convective system are able to simulate the convective precipitation. The assimilation of GPS ZTD observations improves the simulation of the spatial extent of the precipitation, but slightly underestimates the heaviest precipitation in that case compared with the experiment without GPS. The accuracy of the precipitation forecast for the second case is much better. The analyses from the control assimilation cycle provide already a good description of the atmosphere state that cannot be further improved by the assimilation of GPS observations. Only for the latest day (22 November 2007), significant differences have been found between the two parallel cycles. In that case, the assimilation of GPS ZTD allows to improve the first 6 to 12 h of the precipitation forecast. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The results from a carefully implemented GPS analysis, using a strategy
adapted to determine accurate vertical station velocities, are presented. The stochastic properties of our globally distributed GPS position time series were inferred, allowing the computation of reliable velocity uncertainties. Most uncertainties were several times smaller than the 1-3 mm/yr global sea level change, and hence the vertical velocities could be applied to correct the long tide gauge records for land motion. The sea level trends obtained in the ITRF2005 reference frame are more consistent than in the ITRF2000 or corrected for Glacial- Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) model predictions, both on the global and the regional scale, leading to a reconciled global rate of geocentric sea level rise of 1.61 \pm 0.19mm/yr over the past century in good agreement with the most recent estimates. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Several hundred earthquakes of small and moderate magnitude occur each
year at the southwestern Alps-Ligurian basin junction. In addition, the historical seismicity data attests for earthquakes of magnitude close to 6.5. Despite the seismic hazard and the vulnerability of this region, the present-day driving mechanism of deformation and the major structures accommodating these deformations remain unclear. This littoral area presents a strong topographic gradient from 3000 masl on the Argentera alpine massif to 2500 m.u.s.l. in the Ligurian basin and a strong structural inheritage resulting from 50 My geological evolution combining different processes such as continental collision and ocean basin opening. We present new results about the kinematics of the Corsica-Sardinia continental block with respect to the western alpine belt. From 7 years of continuous GPS measurements we show that a small part of the Nubia-Eurasia convergence is certainly transferred northward of the Maghrebides deformation belts to the Corsica-Sardinia block. In the southwesternmost Alps from Torino to the Mediterranean coast, the baselines reveal differential motions of lengthening between the Po plain and the Argentera and shortening between the Argentera and the Ligurian domain. In a region where few focal solutions are available we determine seven new focal mechanisms located in the Argentera massif. These new data underline a quaternary change from compression to extension in that part of the western alpine belt. The focal mechanisms calculated attest for extensional faulting at shallow level between 1 and 11 km depth. We add 7 focal mechanisms from the literature to calculate the stress tensor: a homogeneous solution indicates a direction of extension broadly perpendicular to the topographic axis culmination of the Argentera. In contrast, the earthquakes recorded below 15 km at the northwestern margin of the Po plain testify reverse faulting and a compressional state of stress in the deep crust. Thus, we point out that the stress field is vertically heterogeneous in the crust of the Argentera area. The Ligurian domain is mainly characterized by reverse and strike-slip faulting. The major earthquakes are located in the northern margin and at the ocean- continent transition. These earthquakes are assumed to result from the reactivation, in a compressional state of stress, of the structures formed during the Oligo-Miocene opening of the Ligurian basin. Finally, we propose three hypotheses to explain the current deformation at the Alps-Ligurian basin junction, taking into account the far-field kinematics between the Nubia and the Eurasia plates, the topographic gradient between the Argentera massif and the Ligurian oceanic floor and the distribution of the deformations. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: To investigate the kinematics of the Adriatic region, we integrate
continuous and episodic GPS measurements with M_w gt 4.5 earthquake slip vectors selected from the Regional Centroid Moment Tensor catalogue. Coherent motion of GPS sites in the Po Valley, in Apulia, and in the Hyblean Plateau allows us to estimate geodetically constrained angular velocities for these regions. The predictions of the GPS-inferred angular velocities are compared with the earthquake slip vectors, showing that the seismically expressed deformation at the microplate boundaries is consistent with the observed geodetic motion. The remarkable consistency between geodetic, seismological, and geological evidence of active tectonics suggests that active deformation in the central Adriatic is controlled by the relative motion between the Adria and Apulia microplates. The microplates' angular rotation rates are then compared with the rotation rates calculated with a simple block model supporting the hypotheses (1) that Apulia forms a single microplate with the Ionian Sea and possibly with the Hyblean region and (2) that Adria and Apulia rotate in such a way as to accommodate the Eurasia-Nubia relative motion. We suggest that the present-day microplate configuration follows a recent fragmentation of the Adriatic promontory that during the Neogene rigidly transferred the Africa motion to the orogenic belts that now surround the Adriatic region. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: After analysing the forward and inverse problems of radio tomography, a
time varying three-dimensional imaging method of the ionosphere from GPS slant TEC data is described and applied at regional scale. Our approach is based on local basis parametrisation of electron density, and constrained by NeQuick ionosphere model and its spatial gradients. Our inversion scheme is fundamentally different from the data assimilation approach because it is not based on a physical ionosphere model. Preliminary results obtained with European GPS receiver data validate the stability of our method which is able to retrieve small-scale ionosphere features in properly resolved volumes. Many improvements are still possible on the algorithm, and a careful validation of inverted models by independent data is still necessary. However, our inversion algorithm is shown to improve the determination of the small-scale features of a coarse a priori ionosphere model. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Assessing seismic hazard in continental interiors is difficult because
these regions are characterized by low strain rates and may be struck by infrequent destructive earthquakes. In this paper, we provide an example showing that interpretations of seismic cross sections combined with other kinds of studies such as analysis of microseismicity allow the whole seismogenic source area to be imaged in this type of region. The Middle Durance Fault (MDF) is an 80-km-long fault system located southeastern France that has a moderate but regular seismicity and some palaeoseismic evidence for larger events. It behaves as an oblique ramp with a left-lateral-reverse fault slip and has a low strain rate. MDF is one of the rare slow active fault system monitored by a dedicated dense velocimetric short period network. This study showed a fault system segmented in map and cross section views which consists of staircase basement faults topped by listric faults ramping off Triassic evaporitic beds. Seismic sections allowed the construction of a 3-D structural model used for accurate location of microseismicity. Southern part of MDF is mainly active in the sedimentary cover. In its northern part and in Alpine foreland, seismicity deeper than 8 km was also recorded meaning active faults within the crust cannot be excluded. Seismogenic potential of MDF was roughly assessed. Resulting source sizes and estimated slip rates imply that the magnitude upper limit ranges from 6.0 to 6.5 with a return period of a few thousand years. The present study shows that the coupling between 3-D fault geometry imaging and accurate location of microseismicity provides a robust approach to analyse active fault sources and consequently a more refined seismic hazard assessment. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: GPS-determination of vertical crustal velocity relative to a globally
defined reference frame is limited by the accuracy of the reference frame origin and scale. However, the precision of relative vertical rates at regional-distance scales remains largely unexplored. We investigated the precision of regional- scale vertical velocity estimates using data from seven continuously operating GPS stations located in the central Mediterranean. The stations form a network of aperture \sim 500 km and each has been in operation for at least 5 yr. We used published constraints on recent crustal uplift inferred from late Quaternary shoreline data to aid in the definition of a local vertical reference frame for GPS rates to facilitate an assessment of GPS vertical precision. We explored different methods of defining the local reference frame. The simplest method involves the estimation of a single scalar translation parameter. Adjusting the reference frame by this simple method yields agreement between CGPS and Holocene shoreline data sets at the level of 0.2 to 0.4 mm/yr. Relative rates determined using CGPS are also consistent with tide gauge records and sea level determined by satellite altimetry at the level of about 0.2 mm/yr. These results suggest that regional- scale relative velocity precision well below the mm/yr-level is now possible using continuous GPS. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The Rhine plain is oriented north-south and limited by the Vosges
Mountains (France) to the West and the Black Forest Mountains (Germany) to the East. The present-day tectonic evolution of this system is not well known and many questions are still pending: is the graben subsiding? Are the mountains uplifting? What is the relative behaviour of the three different geological components? In attempting to answer these questions, we compare for the first time in this region time series of absolute gravity (AG) measurements to the available GPS observations at three sites along a profile crossing the Rhine graben. Our reference station is the gravimetric observatory near Strasbourg (J9), located in the Rhine plain where AG measurements are performed regularly since 1997 and where superconducting gravimeter (SG) observations are available almost continuously for 17 years. The secondary sites are the Welschbruch station in the Vosges Mountains where six AG measurements have been conducted since 1997 and the Black Forest Observatory (BFO) where three AG measurements are available. GPS permanent receivers are collocated at the Strasbourg-J9 site since 1999, at the Welschbruch station since 2000, and at BFO since 2002. Levelling data are only available in the BFO region. We compare the long term content of two types of geodetic measurements with special emphasis on the trend despite the limited duration of our data sets. Assuming that the gravity changes are linear in time, we obtain ġ=1.9\pm0.2 \muGal/yr at Strasbourg-J9, ġ=-0.96\pm0.2 \muGal/yr at Welschbruch site and ġ=2.5\pm0.5 \muGal/yr at BFO. The trends according to GPS observations are, respectively: -1.51 \pm 0.07 and -0.74 \pm 0.10 mm/yr at Strasbourg-J9 and Welschbruch site, respectively; there is no GPS result available at BFO. The AG results for BFO are very questionable, as well as the GPS observations at the Welschbruch station. Nonetheless, Strasbourg-J9 and Welschbruch AG measurements lead to subsidence and uplift, respectively, which are expected results in agreement with GPS at Strasbourg-J9. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: New GPS estimates of relative motion across the Jura Mountain Belt with respect to the Eurasian Plate indicate less than 1 mm/yr of convergence, considerably less than previous estimates. Velocity uncertainties have been evaluated by several methods and range from 0.2 to 0.5 mm/yr for the semi-permanent stations. The major, statistically-significant strain feature inferred by the Jura GPS measurements is along-arc extension, compatible with tectonic studies. That the detected deformation is small in magnitude highlights two important issues: previous estimates are over-stated and that the approach of using semi-permanent GPS installations is capable of detecting small tectonic signals. Using the upper bound as the rate of convergence, we estimate that this would generate an earthquake of magnitude 5-5.5 every 15 to 75 yr. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. | |||||

| Abstract: On 8-9 September 2002, torrential rainfall and flooding hit the Gard region in southern France causing extensive damages and casualties. This is an exceptional example of a so-called Cevenol episode with 24 hour cumulative rainfall up to about 600 mm at some places and more than 200 mm over a large area (5500 km(2)). In this work we have used GPS data to determine integrated water vapor (IWV) as well as horizontal wet gradients and residuals. Using the IWV, we have monitored the evolution of the convective system associated with the rainfall from the water vapor accumulation stage through the stagnation of the convective cell and finally to the breakup of the system. Our interpretation of the GPS meteorological parameters is supported by synoptic maps, numerical weather analyses, and rain images from meteorological radars. We have evidenced from GPS data that this heavy precipitation is associated with ongoing accumulation of water vapor, even through the raining period, but that rain stopped as soon as the weather circulation pattern changed. The evolution of this event is typical in the context of the Cevenol meteorology. Furthermore, we have shown that the horizontal wet gradients help describe the heterogeneity of the water vapor field and holds information concerning the passage of the convective system. Finally, we have noticed that the residuals, which in theory should be proportional to water vapor heterogeneity, were also highly perturbed by the precipitation itself. In our conclusions we discuss the interest of a regional GPS network for monitoring and for future studies on water vapor tomography. | |||||

| Abstract: A dense network of 17 dual frequency GPS receivers has been operated for two weeks during June 2001 within a 20 km × 20 km area around Marseille, France, as part of the ESCOMPTE field campaign ([Cros et al., 2004. The ESCOMPTE program: an overview. Atmos. Res. 69, 241-279]; http://medias.obs-mip.fr/escompte). The goal of this GPS experiment was to provide GPS data allowing for tomographic inversions and their validation within a well-documented observing period (the ESCOMPTE campaign). Simultaneous water vapor radiometer, solar spectrometer, Raman lidar and radiosonde data are used for comparison and validation. In this paper, we highlight the motivation, issues and describe the GPS field experiment. Some first results of integrated water vapor retrievals from GPS and the other sensing techniques are presented. The strategies for GPS data processing and tomographic inversions are discussed. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. | |||||

| Abstract: The experiment GPS/H2O involving 17 GPS receivers has been operated for two weeks in June 2001 in a dense network around Marseille. This project was integrated into the ESCOMPTE campaign. This paper will focus on the GPS analysis in preparation of the tomographic inversion of GPS slant delays. As first results, GPS tropospheric parameters zenith delays and horizontal gradients have been extracted. For a first visualization of the humidity field overlying the network, zenith delays have been transformed into precipitable water. Successive humidity fields are presented for a period of sudden drop in humidity, indicating some spatial resolution in the small network. The time series of horizontal gradients evaluated at individual sites are compared to correlated zenith delay variations over the whole network (horizontal gradient of zenith delays), showing that in the small size network horizontal atmospheric structure is reflected by both types of parameters. To compare these two quantities, scaling of zenith delays due to different station altitudes was necessary. In this way, a GPS internal validation of the individual gradients by comparison with the horizontal gradient of zenith delays has been established. Differential features along transects across the network indicate a good spatial resolution of tropospheric phenomena, encouraging for the further tomographic exploitation of the data. Moreover, individual and zenith delay gradients weight differently atmospheric horizontal gradients occurring at different heights. This different sensitivity has been used for a first identification of a vertical atmospheric structure from GPS tropospheric delays, by observing an inclined frontal zone crossing the network. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

| Abstract: Water vapour plays a major role in atmospheric processes but remains difficult to quantify due to its high variability in time and space and the sparse set of available measurements. The GPS has proved its capacity to measure the integrated water vapour at zenith with the same accuracy as other methods. Recent studies show that it is possible to quantify the integrated water vapour in the line of sight of the GPS satellite. These observations can be used to study the 3D heterogeneity of the troposphere using tomographic techniques. We develop three-dimensional tomographic software to model the three-dimensional distribution of the tropospheric water vapour from GPS data. First, the tomographic software is validated by simulations based on the realistic ESCOMPTE GPS network configuration. Without a priori information, the absolute value of water vapour is less resolved as opposed to relative horizontal variations. During the ESCOMPTE field experiment, a dense network of 17 dual frequency GPS receivers was operated for 2 weeks within a 20×20-km area around Marseille (southern France). The network extends from sea level to the top of the Etoile chain (∼700 m high). Optimal results have been obtained with time windows of 30-min intervals and input data evaluation every 15 min. The optimal grid for the ESCOMTE geometrical configuration has a horizontal step size of 0.05°×0.05° and 500 m vertical step size. Second, we have compared the results of real data inversions with independent observations. Three inversions have been compared to three successive radiosonde launches and shown to be consistent. A good resolution compared to the a priori information is obtained up to heights of 3000 m. A humidity spike at 4000-m altitude remains unresolved. The reason is probably that the signal is spread homogeneously over the whole network and that such a feature is not resolvable by tomographic techniques. The results of our pure GPS inversion show a correlation with meteorological phenomena. Our measurements could be related to the land-sea breeze. Undoubtedly, tomography has some interesting potential for the water vapour cycle studies at small temporal and spatial scales. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Abstract The Cévennes–Vivarais Mediterranean Hydrometeorological Observatory (OHM-CV) is a research initiative aimed at improving the understanding and modeling of the Mediterranean intense rain events that frequently result in devastating flash floods in southern France. A primary objective is to bring together the skills of meteorologists and hydrologists, modelers and instrumentalists, researchers and practitioners, to cope with these rather unpredictable events. In line with previously published flash-flood monographs, the present paper aims at documenting the 8–9 September 2002 catastrophic event, which resulted in 24 casualties and an economic damage evaluated at 1.2 billion euros (i.e., about 1 billion U.S. dollars) in the Gard region, France. A description of the synoptic meteorological situation is first given and shows that no particular precursor indicated the imminence of such an extreme event. Then, radar and rain gauge analyses are used to assess the magnitude of the rain event, which was pa... | |||||

| Abstract: Estimations of zenith total delays (ZTD) were obtained during postprocessingbackslashnof a high-resolution (2.4 km) nonhydrostatic atmospheric model (Méso-NH).backslashnThese estimations were used to determine their sensitivity with respectbackslashnto formulations of atmospheric refractivity, the approximation ofbackslashnzenith hydrostatic delays (ZHD) deduced from ground pressure, andbackslashnthe contributions of hydrometeors. The factor κ for the conversionbackslashnof zenith wet delay (ZWD) to integrated water vapor (IWV) was examined.backslashnMéso-NH is applied here to the extreme flash flood event of 8–9 Septemberbackslashn2002 in southeastern France. The use of the hydrostatic formulationbackslashn(to infer ZHD) leads to an overestimation of up to 18 mm with respectbackslashnto the vertical integration of refractivity. Delay contributionsbackslashnof hydrometeors simulated by the high-resolution model reached morebackslashnthan 70 mm (≈11 kg/m2 IWV) in the heart of the convective cells inbackslashnthe case of the extreme flood event. The mean variations of IWV duebackslashnto the use of different conversion factors (κ used to transform ZWDbackslashnto IWV) are evaluated to be less than 0.3 kg/m2.

| Abstract: We analyze new GPS data spanning 11 years at 92 stations in eastern Iran. We use these data to analyze the present-day kinematics and the slip rates on most seismogenic faults in eastern Iran. The east Lut, west Lut, Kuhbanan, Anar, Dehshir, and Doruneh faults are confirmed as the major faults and are found to currently slip laterally at 5.6 ± 0.6, 4.4 ± 0.4, 3.6 ± 1.3, 2.0 ± 0.7, 1.4 ± 0.9, and 1.3 ± 0.8 mm/yr, respectively. Slip is right-lateral on the ˜NS striking east Lut, west Lut, Kuhbanan, Anar, and Dehshir faults and left-lateral on the ˜EW Doruneh fault. The ˜NS faults slice the eastern Iranian crust into five blocks that are moving northward at 6–13 mm/yr with respect to the stable Afghan crust at the eastern edge of the collision zone. The collective behavior of the ˜NS faults might thus allow the Arabian promontory to impinge northward into the Eurasian crust. The ˜NS faults achieve additional NS shortening by rotating counterclockwise in the horizontal plane, at current rates up to 0.8°/Ma. Modeling the GPS and available geological data with a block rotation model suggests that the rotations have been going on at a similar rate (1 ± 0.4°/Ma) over the last 12 Ma. We identify large strains at the tips of the rotating east Lut, west Lut, and Kuhbanan faults, which we suspect to be responsible for the important historical and instrumental seismicity in those zones. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Data fusion aims at integrating multiple data sources that can be redundant or complementary to produce complete, accurate information of the parameter of interest. In this work, data fusion of precipitable water vapor (PWV) estimated from remote sensing observations and data from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) modeling system is applied to provide complete, accurate grids of PWV. Our goal is to infer spatially continuous, precise grids of PWV from heterogeneous data sets. This is done by a geostatistical data fusion approach based on the method of fixed-rank kriging. The first data set contains absolute maps of atmospheric water vapor produced by combining observations from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). These PWV maps have a high spatial density and an accuracy of submillimeter; however, data are missing in regions of low coherence (e.g., forests and vegetated areas). The PWV maps simulated by the WRF model represent the second data set. The model maps are available for wide areas, but they have a coarse spatial resolution and a yet limited accuracy. The PWV maps inferred by the data fusion at any spatial resolution are more accurate than those inferred from single data sets. In addition, using the fixed-rank kriging method, the computational burden is significantly lower than that for ordinary kriging. |

article | DOI |
| Abstract: ITRF2008 is a refined version of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame based on reprocessed solutions of the four space geodetic techniques: VLBI, SLR, GPS and DORIS, spanning 29, 26, 12.5 and 16 years of observations, respectively. The input data used in its elaboration are time series (weekly from satellite techniques and 24-h session-wise from VLBI) of station positions and daily Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs). The ITRF2008 origin is defined in such a way that it has zero translations and translation rates with respect to the mean Earth center of mass, averaged by the SLR time series. Its scale is defined by nullifying the scale factor and its rate with respect to the mean of VLBI and SLR long-term solutions as obtained by stacking their respective time series. The scale agreement between these two technique solutions is estimated to be 1.05 ± 0.13 ppb at epoch 2005.0 and 0.049 ± 0.010 ppb/yr. The ITRF2008 orientation (at epoch 2005.0) and its rate are aligned to the ITRF2005 using 179 stations of high geodetic quality. An estimate of the origin components from ITRF2008 to ITRF2005 (both origins are defined by SLR) indicates differences at epoch 2005.0, namely: −0.5, −0.9 and −4.7 mm along X , Y and Z -axis, respectively. The translation rate differences between the two frames are zero for Y and Z , while we observe an X -translation rate of 0.3 mm/yr. The estimated formal errors of these parameters are 0.2 mm and 0.2 mm/yr, respectively. The high level of origin agreement between ITRF2008 and ITRF2005 is an indication of an imprecise ITRF2000 origin that exhibits a Z -translation drift of 1.8 mm/yr with respect to ITRF2005. An evaluation of the ITRF2008 origin accuracy based on the level of its agreement with ITRF2005 is believed to be at the level of 1 cm over the time-span of the SLR observations. Considering the level of scale consistency between VLBI and SLR, the ITRF2008 scale accuracy is evaluated to be at the level of 1.2 ppb (8 mm at the equator) over the common time-span of the observations of both techniques. Although the performance of the ITRF2008 is demonstrated to be higher than ITRF2005, future ITRF improvement resides in improving the consistency between local ties in co-location sites and space geodesy estimates. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The Pyrenees mountain belt, which separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of the European continent, is part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic belt, formed as a result of a collision between the African and Eurasian Plates. Although the instrumental seismicity in the Pyrenees is moderate, in the past centuries a number of destructive earthquakes have occurred, which could indicate continuing tectonic activity of the area. We analyse GPS observations spanning 3.5 yr from 35 continuous stations in the Pyrenees region and find significant on-going extension perpendicular to the range at 2.5 ± 0.5 nstrain yr–1, with the possibility of higher strain rates concentrated in the westernmost part of the range. This finding is in agreement with the predominantly normal faulting focal mechanisms of earthquakes that occur in the area and suggests a recurrence time for magnitude 6.5 earthquakes of 2200–2500 yr. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: This work presents the seismotectonic zoning scheme of Metropolitan France developed by the IRSN (French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety) within the framework of its seismic hazard assessment activities. It is the outcome of many years of work following the publication of the “seismotectonic atlas” in 1993 [Grellet et al., 1993].This scheme supports the assessment of seismic hazard by IRSN. It takes into account the most recent data concerning the deep and surface geology, as well as those related to seismotectonics and tectonic activity. It finally includes 67 surface seismotectonic zones (STZ), as well as a catalogue of 74 faults or structures (named hereafter “potential active faults”) for which indications of Neogene to Quaternary displacement can be inferred. The description of the zoning scheme comes along with an estimation of the uncertainty on the boundary location between adjacent STZ. We also qualitatively determine a “relevance order” for each limit, so as to illustrate their reliability to separate regions of different seismogenic potential. Also, we attributed to the faults an indication whose purpose is to reflect the recent character of their activity, and thus their seismotectonic potential.This assessment of uncertainties was undertaken to better integrate the zoning scheme in the general approach, which arises from recent studies, namely the propagation of the uncertainties in seismic hazard evaluation, whether deterministic or probabilistic. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This work presents seismic strain rate maps for the Western Alps and Northern Apennines (northern Italy) as derived from an earthquake catalog collecting both historical and instrumental data. Strain rates are calculated on the basis of the rate of seismic moment release using the Anderson method. Unlike previous applications, which determined the total strain rate associated with specific seismogenic sources, we have employed an innovative zoneless approach based on a spatially smoothed seismicity method. In addition, a Monte Carlo simulation procedure is applied to allow for uncertainty in the input data (e.g., magnitude to moment conversion, seismogenic thickness, maximum earthquake magnitude). Strain rate maps are developed by summing the moments of the earthquakes reported in the catalog and by using two different earthquake recurrence relations. Our results indicate that deformation rates are quite high, ranging from about 2 to 12 × 10−9 yr−1 in the Northern Apennines and from 0.5 to 6 × 10−9 yr−1 in the Western Alps. These values, however, are ∼1 order less than those derived from Global Positioning System measurements, suggesting that a portion of the recent deformation in northwestern Italy is related to aseismic processes. The discrepancies between seismic and geodetic strain rates may also indicate that the record of seismicity may not provide a sufficient time window for assessment of secular rates of moment release (or secular deformation rates) and rates of recurrence of large magnitude earthquakes in the study area. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The present-day tectonic setting of the Italian peninsula is very complex and involves competing geodynamic processes. In this context, southern peninsular Italy is characterised by extension along the Apenninic belt and in the Tyrrhenian margin and by transpression in the Apulia-Gargano region. The extension is well defined by means of geological, seismological, and contemporary stress data. For the latter only few data are available in the Apulia-Gargano region, leaving the state of stress in that area unresolved. Here we develop a finite-element model of the southern Italian region in order to predict the contemporary stress field. Our model predictions are constrained by model-independent observations of the orientation of maximum horizontal stress (SHmax), the tectonic regime, and the horizontal velocities derived from GPS observations. We performed a blind test with 31 newly acquired SHmax orientations in the Southern Apennines. These new data come from the analysis of orehole breakouts performed in 46 deep oil exploration wells ranging in depth from 1300 to 5500 m. The model results agree with the stress data that define a prevailing NW-SE SHmax orientation along the Apenninic belt and foredeep and thus are capable to predict the stress field where no stress information is available. We first analyse how much model predictions, based on older data, deviate from present-day stress data and then recalibrate the models based on our new stress data, giving insight into the resolution of both models and data. In the studied region, which is affected by low deformation rates, we find that geodetic data alone cannot resolve such low levels of deformation due to the high relative measurement errors. We conclude that both GPS and stress data are required to constrain model results. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: In the framework of the Hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment (HyMeX) project, measurements from more than 1000 ground-based Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers located in the northwestern Mediterranean area are reprocessed using a single piece of GPS software for the period from 1 September 2012 to 31 March 2013. A special screening procedure is developed for the removal of outliers in the GPS Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) data. ZTD data are converted to integrated water vapour (IWV) using surface pressure information from an AROME-WMED operational analysis. The reprocessed ZTD and IWV data are used to assess the accuracy of the near-real time E-GVAP ZTD data assimilated in operational numerical weather prediction systems and to validate the IWV data from the AROME-WMED operational analysis and AROME-WMED reanalysis 1, and from radiosonde observations. The mean differences between E-GVAP and reprocessed ZTD data are not negligible and lie in the range from -3 to +3 mm. The standard deviations of differences are between 4 and 8 mm. The comparisons of IWV from AROME-WMED analyses and the reprocessed GPS data show high quality of the analyses where operational GPS data are assimilated and lower quality where no GPS data are assimilated. Small but significant biases are found in the radiosonde data during daytime (-0.5 to +1.4 kg m(-2)), but their origin is not determined so far. Thanks to the high spatial density of the reprocessed GPS stations, both the large-scale and small-scale variations in IWV can be documented. The case of HyMeX Intensive Observing Period 8 is presented as an example of a heavy precipitation event. This work suggests that improved quality of the humidity fields can be expected of the future AROME-WMED reanalysis 2 as a result of the assimilation of the reprocessed GPS data. | |||||

inproceedings | DOI URL |
| Abstract: © 2015 IEEE.Over the last ten years Earth observing systems have grown considerably and thus allow the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals for remote sensing. Several studies in the U.S. have proven the ability of existing GNSS ground networks to measure environmental parameters quantifying essential surface conditions for the understanding of the water cycle. This is possible by taking advantage of reflected signals around geodetic stations. Improved characterization of environmental disturbances in GNSS signals is also essential to increase the accuracy of future GNSS measurement for applications in Earth Sciences. GNSS reflectometry provides these surface parameters at an intermediate scale that can bridge the lack of data between in situ and satellite observations. Here we adapt and develop for the first time the GNSS reflectometry method using the existing sites of the French national GNSS permanent network (RENAG) for snow and soil moisture applications. | |||||

| Bouin, M.N. and Wöppelmann, G. | Land motion estimates from GPS at tide gauges: A geophysical evaluation | 2010 | Geophysical Journal International Vol. 180(1), pp. 193-209 |
article | DOI |
| Abstract: Space geodesy applications have mainly been limited to horizontal deformations due to a number of restrictions on the vertical component accuracy. Monitoring vertical land motion is nonetheless of crucial interest in observations of long-term sea level change or postglacial rebound measurements. Here, we present a global vertical velocity field obtained with more than 200 permanent GPS stations, most of them colocated with tide gauges (TGs). We used a state of the art, homogeneous processing strategy to ensure that the reference frame was stable throughout the observation period of almost 10 yr. We associate realistic uncertainties to our vertical rates, taking into account the time-correlation noise in the time-series. The results are compared with two independent geophysical vertical velocity fields: (1) vertical velocity estimates using long-term TG records and (2) postglacial model predictions from the ICE-5G (VM2) adjustment. The quantitative agreement of the GPS vertical velocities with the ‘internal estimates’ of vertical displacements using the TG record is very good, with a mean difference of −0.13 ± 1.64 mm yr−1 on more than 100 sites. For 84 per cent of the GPS stations considered, the vertical velocity is confirmed by the TG estimate to within 2 mm yr−1. The overall agreement with the glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model is good, with discrepancy patterns related either to a local misfit of the model or to active tectonics. For 72 per cent of the sites considered, the predictions of the GIA model agree with the GPS results to within two standard deviations. Most of the GPS velocities showing discrepancies with respect to the predictions of the GIA model are, however, consistent with previously published space geodesy results. We, in turn, confirm the value of 1.8 ± 0.5 mm yr−1 for the 20th century average global sea level rise, and conclude that GPS is now a robust tool for vertical land motion monitoring which is accurate at least at 1 mm yr−1. | |||||

| Abstract: In a collaborative effort with the regional sub-commissions within IAG sub-commission 1.3 "Regional Reference Frames", the IAG Working Group (WG) on "Regional Dense Velocity Fields" (see http://epncb.oma.be/IAG) has made a first attempt to create a dense global velocity field. GNSS-based velocity solutions for more than 6,000 continuous and episodic GNSS tracking stations, were proposed to the WG in reply to the first call for participation issued in November 2008. The combination of a part of these solutions was done in a two-step approach: first at the regional level, and secondly at the global level. Comparisons between different velocity solutions show an RMS agreement between 0.3 and 0.5 mm/year resp. for the horizontal and vertical velocities. In some cases, significant disagreements between the velocities of some of the networks are seen, but these are primarily caused by the inconsistent handling of discontinuity epochs and solution numbers. In the future, the WG will re-visit the procedures in order to develop a combination process that is efficient, automated, transparent, and not more complex than it needs to be. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Four to six years of continuous measurements at 10 permanent Global Positioning System sites in the Western Alps show horizontal residual velocities of <2 mm/yr with respect to stable Europe; uncertainties range from 0.3 to 1.4 mm/yr. These velocities and the associated strain-rate field indicate that the central part of the range is currently dominated by east-west extension, whereas the southern part shows north-south to northwest-southeast compression. The geodetic and seismotectonic data are consistent with a model where strain is essentially controlled by the counterclockwise rotation of the Adriatic microplate with respect to Eurasia. This rotation, together with the arcuate shape of the contact between the Adriatic microplate and the Alps, induces dextral shear kinematic boundary conditions across the Western Alps, with an additional divergence component in their central part and in Switzerland, and a convergence component in their southern part. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The understanding of the intraplate tectonics of Central Europe requires a detailed picture of how stress is transferred from the interaction of the Eurasian, Nubian and Anatolian plates to the Alpine, Carpathian, Pannonian and Dinaric regions. Recent strain distribution is controlled by the Adria horizontal push, by the Vrancea vertical slab pull and associated horizontal displacements, and by the Aegean/Anatolia extension and slab-roll back. We present a horizontal velocity field for the Alpine-Carpathian-Pannonic-Dinaric and Balkan regions resulting from a new combination of seven different GPS networks formed from permanent and campaign stations. Dedicated velocity profiles in two specific regions are studied in detail. One is the Alpine Pannonian region, with a detailed picture of the NS indentation of the Adria microplate into the Southern Alps, in NE Italy, the deformation in the Tauern Window and the eastwards kinematics of a Pannonian plate fragment. The second study region includes Transylvania, the Southern Carpathians up to the Aegean sea and Albania, where a major right lateral shear deformation exists as a consequence of the NE convergence of the Apulia platform towards the Dinarids, and the SSW motion of Macedonia, Western Bulgaria and Rumania, related to the Hellenic arc dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean. The profiles in the Alpine-Pannonian area indicate that a velocity drop of 2.5 +/- 0.4 mm/yr associated with the Adria indentation concentrates on a segment of some 50 km south of the Periadriatic fault. The deformation becomes extensional by a similar amount just north of the Periadriatic fault, in the Tauern Window, where the updoming of the Tauern Window implies vertical motion which could well be associated with surface extension. In the EW profile, we observe a sudden velocity change of 1.5 +/- 0.2 mm/yr in 20 km, corresponding to the right lateral Lavant fault, which seems to mark the border between dominant indentation kinematics to the West and dominant extrusion kinematics to the East. Three profiles are considered in Southern and Eastern Europe: one across the lower Adriatic sea from Apulia in Italy to the southern Dinarides, which enables it to constrain the velocity drop associated with the subduction of the Adria microplate into the Dinarides to 3.2 +/- 0.5 mm/yr in 140 km. The second profile is longitudinal and constrains the velocity inversion of 7.4 +/- 1.0 mm/yr in 350 km associated with right lateral shear faults in Albania. The third profile crosses the Transylvania region with a shortening of 2.3 +/- 1.0 mm/yr in 220 km, and the Wallachian-Moesian region up to the Chalcidic peninsula in N Greece. This lower part of the profile implies an extensional stretch of the upper crust of 3.2 +/- 0.9 mm/yr in 440 km, culminating in the Hellenic arc. Strain rate maps are presented in this regional scale, showing the excellent agreement between fault plane solutions of crustal earthquakes and the eigenvectors of the GPS derived two dimensional strain rate tensor. Three profiles are considered in the Balkan and SE Carpathians: one across the lower Adriatic sea from Apulia in Italy to the southern Dinarides, which enables to constrain the velocity drop associated to the subduction of the Adria microplate into the Dinarides to 3.2 +/- 0.5 mm/yr in 140 km. The second profile is longitudinal and constrains the velocity inversion of 7.4 +/- 1.0 mm/yr in 350 km associated to right lateral shear faults in Macedonia, a highly seismic region. The third profile crosses the Transylvania with a shortening2.3 +/- 1.0 mm/yr in 220 km, and the Wallachian-Moesian region up to the Chalcidic peninsula in N Greece. This lower part of the profile implies an extensional stretch of the upper crust of 3.2 +/- 0.9 mm/yr in 440 km, culminating in the Hellenic arc. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Insights into the present vertical kinematic pattern in Central and Northern Italy are gained by the analysis of GPS data acquired by a network of 262 permanent stations, working over various time intervals since 2001. Uplift is observed in the Alps (up to 5. mm/yr) and Apennines (1-2. mm/yr), whereas subsidence is recognized in the southern Venetian Plain (2-4. mm/yr) and the eastern Po Valley, where the highest rates are observed (up to 9. mm/yr between Reggio Emilia and Rimini). On the other hand, the western part of the Po Valley presents very low vertical rates. The boundary between subsiding and not subsiding Po Valley nearly corresponds to the Giudicarie tectonic discontinuity. It is argued that the different kinematic patterns of the eastern and western Padanian sectors may also be related to the underthrusting of the eastern domain beneath the western one. Some considerations are then reported on how the various causes of vertical movements (tectonic and sedimentological processes) may contribute to the observed kinematics. ?? 2013 Elsevier Ltd. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We present a compilation of data of modern tectono-geomorphic processes in the Central European Alps which suggest that observed rock uplift is a response to climate-driven denudation. This interpretation is predominantly based on the recent quantification of basin-averaged Late Holocene denudation rates that are so similar to the pattern and rates of rock uplift rates as determined by geodetic leveling. Furthermore, a GPS data-based synthesis of Adriatic microplate kinematics suggests that the Central Alps are currently not in a state of active convergence. Finally, we illustrate that the Central Alps have acted as a closed system for Holocene redistribution of sediment in which the peri-Alpine lakes have operated as a sink for the erosional products of the inner Central Alps. While various hypotheses have been put forward to explain Central Alpine rock uplift (e.g. lithospheric forcing by convergence, mantle processes, or ice melting) we show with an elastic model of lithospheric deformation, that the correlation between erosion and rock uplift rates reflects a positive feedback between denudation and the associated isostatic response to unloading. Thus, erosion does not passively respond to advection of crustal material as might be the case in actively converging orogens. Rather, we suggest that the geomorphic response of the Alpine topography to glacial and fluvial erosion and the resulting disequilibrium for modern channelized and associated hillslope processes explains much of the pattern of modern denudation and hence rock uplift. Therefore, in a non-convergent orogen such as the Central European Alps, the observed vertical rock uplift is primarily a consequence of passive unloading due to erosion. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

| Abstract: The time-varying three-dimensional water vapour field derived from mesoscale Global Positioning System (GPS) tomography data is used to describe the water vapour variability in relation to the dynamics of the atmo sphere during convective initiation (CI). The paper presents the theoretical framework of GPS tomography at the mesoscale, including aspects related to the assimilation of independent data (e.g. water vapour profiles issued from meteorological balloon soundings). GPS tomography-derived water vapour density retrievals are validated against lidar, the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer and radiosonde data, even if the short three-day period of the study prevents conclusions about the real accuracy of the GPS tomography technique. GPS tomography products are used, in synergy with surface and sounding-derived meteorological variable measurements, satellite imagery and reflectivity composites from the WSR-88D network and S-POL radar, to study environmental conditions leading to the 12 June 2002 CI event during the International H(2)O Project. On this day, CI was triggered simultaneously, shortly after 2100 UTC, in two locations along an old Outflow boundary lying east-west in the vicinity of the Oklahoma-Kansas border. The study focuses on CI to the east, which was triggered at the intersection of the outflow boundary with a distinct southwest-northeast-oriented moisture convergence line. The latter formed as the result of a cross-dryline circulation leading to the penetration of dry air meeting with the moister air mass associated with the southerly low-level flow east of the dryline. These intersecting boundaries appeared to have provided the necessary triggering mechanism for getting moist surface air parcels up to the level of free convection. Tomography-derived water vapour fields provided observational evidence of the vertical transport of water vapour above the lifting condensation level and the level of free convection to the south of and along the intersecting boundaries.

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We examined the sensitivity of estimates of global sea-level rise obtained from GPS-corrected long term tide gauge records to uncertainties in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) realization. A useful transfer function was established, linking potential errors in the reference frame datum (origin and scale) to resulting errors in the estimate of global sea level rise. Contrary to scale errors that are propagated by a factor of 100%, the impact of errors in the origin depends on the network geometry. The geometry of the network analyzed here resulted in an error propagation factor of 50% for the Z component of the origin, mainly due to the asymmetry in the distribution of the stations between hemispheres. This factor decreased from 50% to less than 10% as the geometry of the network improved using realistic potential stations that did not yet meet the selection criteria (e.g., record length, data availability). Conversely, we explored new constraints on the reference frame by considering forward calculations involving tide gauge records. A reference frame could be found in which the scatter of the regional sea-level rates was limited. The resulting reference frame drifted by 1.36 0.22 mm/year from the ITRF2000 origin in the Z component and by ??0.44 0.22mm/year from the ITRF2005 origin. A bound on the rate of global sea level rise of 1.2 to 1.6mm/year was derived for the past century, depending on the origin of the adopted reference frame. The upper bound is slightly lower than previous estimates of 1.8mm/year discussed in the IPCC fourth report. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Here we report the results of the analysis of a GPS velocity field in the Umbria-Marche Apennines (central Italy) obtained from the integration of diverse geodetic networks. The velocity field obtained shows a high degree of consistency both spatially and in terms of comparison with independent information, despite the limited time span of some GPS stations. Starting from the velocity field we derive a continuous strain rate field applying a spline interpolation technique which provide a smooth estimate of the deformation field. The main feature of the resulting strain rate field is a continuous high (>50 nanostrain/year) strain rate belt coincident with the area of largest historical and instrumental seismic release. The model directions of the principal axes agree with geological and seismological information indicating NE-SW extension. We transform the strain rate field into geodetic moment rate using the Kostrov formula to evaluate the potential seismic activity of the region and compare it with actual seismic release in the last 720 years from Mw>5.5 earthquakes. This comparison highlights a large possible deficit in the seismic release with respect to the overall potential seismic activity, particularly concentrated in the northern part of the study area. This discrepancy can be resolved with either a large amount of seismicity to be released in the near future or significant aseismic slip and deformation. ?? 2008 Elsevier B.V.

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We present the velocity field in Italy derived from over 300 continuous GPS stations operated in the 1998-2009 time span. The GPS network maps the whole country with a mean inter-site distance of about 50km and provides a valuable source of data to study the ongoing deformation processes in the central Mediterranean. The estimated horizontal and vertical velocity fields show major significant features and also less known second-order kinematic features. A general uplift characterizes the whole Apennines and Alpine belts that follow the topographic ridge, whereas the Po Plain shows a gradually increasing subsidence from west to east. The Apennines belt displays a distinctive extension (50-80 10-9yr-1) while compressive tectonic regimes characterize northern Sicily, eastern Alps and the northeast front of the northern Apennines (25-50 10-9yr-1). Second-order deformation patterns, on large scale wavelength (˜100km) have been detected on the accretionary prism of central and southern Apennines that are highly correlated with other geophysical data (Vp anomalies, seismic anisotropy, etc.) and related to deep rooted sections (70-100km), marked by different subduction regimes. Apparently at this scale-length the observed deformations are governed by the lithosphere as a whole. We interpret these deformations as a result of different subduction mechanisms, such as variations of the subduction rollback velocity affecting different segments of the subduction zone and/or to mantle flows in proximity of the slab edges. Further south, in central-southern Sicily, we detect a contraction of (-1.1±0.2) mm/yr that probably accommodates part of the Africa-Eurasia convergence on the outer thrust front of the Apennines-Maghrebides belt. This hypothesis agrees with an independent analysis of the seismicity associated to the Sicilian Basal Thrust, thought to be still active.

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Sea level changes are threatening the human living environments, particularly along the European Coasts with highly dense population. In this paper, coastal sea level changes in western and southern Europe are investigated for the period 1993-2011 using Global Positioning System (GPS), Tide Gauge (TG), Satellite Altimetry (SA), Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and geophysical models. The mean secular trend is 2.26 ± 0.52 mm/y from satellite altimetry, 2.43 ± 0.61 mm/y from TG+GPS and 1.99 ± 0.67 mm/y from GRACE mass plus steric components, which have a remarkably good agreement. For the seasonal variations, annual amplitudes of satellite altimetry and TG+GPS results are almost similar, while GRACE Mass+Steric results are a little smaller. The annual phases agree remarkably well for three independent techniques. The annual cycle is mainly driven by the steric contributions, while the annual phases of non-steric (mass component) sea level changes are almost a half year later than the steric sea level changes. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Surface displacements due to temporal changes in environmental mass redistributions are observable in the coordinate time series of many Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sites. In this study, we investigated the effect of loading on estimates of tectonic velocity computed from campaign-style GNSS observations. The study region is in the Pyrenees mountain range between France and Spain (ResPyr campaigns). In this area, seismic activity is continuous and moderate and the expected amplitude of the horizontal tectonic velocity is less than 0.5 mm/yr. In order to determine the velocity, 4 sparse GNSS campaigns were carried out from 1995 to 2010. Considering this small rate of deformation, loading phenomena can contribute a non-negligible artifact to the velocity computation that could affect our geodynamical interpretation. In this investigation, we specifically considered the atmospheric, hydrological, and non-tidal ocean loading phenomena. The computed loading deformations for this region show the horizontal displacements are dominated by the non-tidal ocean loading (maximum 4 mm for the North and 3.1 mm for the East components); the main vertical contributions are due to the atmospheric and continental water storage loading (maximum 14.3 for the atmosphere and 8.1 mm for the hydrology, respectively). We have found that the dominant loading effect on the horizontal velocity is the non-tidal ocean loading (mean of 0.11 mm/yr), whereas the vertical component is dominated by the hydrological loading (mean of 0.21 mm/yr). Since the study area is in a mountainous region, we also analyzed the difference between the atmospheric and the topography dependent atmospheric loading models at our GNSS campaign sites. We did not find any significant difference between the two atmospheric loading models in terms of horizontal velocity. Finally, we performed simulations to identify the optimum timing and frequency of future GNSS campaigns in this area that would minimize the loading effects on tectonic velocity estimates. © 2013 Institute of Geophysics of the ASCR, v.v.i. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Multipath effects caused by reflections in the near-field and far-field of a GNSS antenna represent a major error source in static and kinematic GNSS positioning applications. Since these effects are strongly site-specific, a generally valid and practicable analytical multipath model is still lacking. In contrast, using GNSS carrier phase observation residuals, the multipath stacking (MPS) methods are able to take site-specific conditions into account. We propose an advanced approach to performing residual-based MPS in the space domain. Being superior to most conventional attempts in which stacking cells have a fixed azimuthal resolution, our suggested method makes use of congruent cells and rigorous statistical assessments in terms of outlier detection and significance evaluation of the stacked values. The advanced stacking approach is applied to representative phase residuals from static precise point positioning. The results show that the use of congruent cells allows for MPS at high elevation angles and with a fine spatial resolution. Applying the resulting MPS maps at the residual level, both near-field and far-field effects at high and low elevation angles, respectively, can be significantly mitigated. In comparison with the conventional approach, the advanced one enables a larger reduction of about 20 % in the SD of residuals. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: Abstract Accurate a priori Zenith Hydrostatic Delays (ZHDs) are required during the processing of space geodetic observations. The data provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) are routinely processed and translated in terms of ZHDs by the Vienna University of Technology. The usual way to compute gridded ZHDs at a particular location is to correct the four nearest nodes of the grid for their difference in height with respect to the site height and to then interpolate these reduced values. This paper compares and discusses the performance achieved by five methods of reduction that have been proposed in the literature. The interpolated ZHD values are compared with the site-specific ones for a global network of 363 sites over a three-year period. The methods that only use vertical profiles of atmospheric pressure lead to annual signals that are correlated with ground temperature, while the methods that take temperature into account do not contain such annual signals. The reduction methods that use a constant temperature lead to errors of ˜2 mm in terms of equivalent height. We also find that the a posteriori errors of the reduced gridded ZHDs are strongly correlated with the pressure over temperature ratio. We recommend that gridded ZHDs be reduced with the combination of both pressure and temperature when processing space geodetic observations. Abstract Accurate a priori Zenith Hydrostatic Delays (ZHDs) are required during the processing of space geodetic observations. The data provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) are routinely processed and translated in terms of ZHDs by the Vienna University of Technology. The usual way to compute gridded ZHDs at a particular location is to correct the four nearest nodes of the grid for their difference in height with respect to the site height and to then interpolate these reduced values. This paper compares and discusses the performance achieved by five methods of reduction that have been proposed in the literature. The interpolated ZHD values are compared with the site-specific ones for a global network of 363 sites over a three-year period. The methods that only use vertical profiles of atmospheric pressure lead to annual signals that are correlated with ground temperature, while the methods that take temperature into account do not contain such annual signals. The reduction methods that use a constant temperature lead to errors of ˜2 mm in terms of equivalent height. We also find that the a posteriori errors of the reduced gridded ZHDs are strongly correlated with the pressure over temperature ratio. We recommend that gridded ZHDs be reduced with the combination of both pressure and temperature when processing space geodetic observations. | |||||

| Abstract: A new Continuous GPS network was installed under the umbrella of a Research Project called “Geociencias en Iberia: Estudios integrados de topograf\ia y evolución 4D (Topo-Iberia)”, to improve understanding of kinematic behavior of the Iberian Peninsula region. Here we present a velocity field based on the analysis of the four years of data from the 25 stations constituting the network, which were analyzed by three different analysis groups contributing to the project. Different geodetic software packages (GIPSY–OASIS, Bernese and GAMIT) as well as different approaches were used to estimate rates of present-day crustal deformation in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. In order to ensure the consistency of the velocity fields determined by the three groups, the velocities obtained by each Analysis Centre were transformed into a common Eurasia Reference Frame. After that, the strain rate field was calculated. The results put in evidence more prominent residual motions in Morocco and southern-most part of the Iberian Peninsula. In particular, the dilatation and shear strain rates reach their maximum values in the central Betics and northern Alboran Sea. A small region of high shear strain rate is observed in the east-central part of the peninsula and another deformation focus is located around the Strait of Gibraltar and the Gulf of Cadiz. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: The active tectonics of the Western Alps reveals contrasting regimes: ongoing extension at the heart of the chain and transpression-compression at its external sectors. The active processes currently affecting this region are still a matter of debate. The classical models proposed in the literature invoke: Eurasia-Adria plate collision, counterclockwise motion of the Adria microplate, slab retreat of the subducted continental lithosphere and slab-detachment. More recently, several authors prefer the hypothesis of tectonics driven by isostasy-buoyancy forces. To better understand the influence of these processes on the velocity, strain and stress fields at the surface and in the crust, we developed 2D viscoelastic numerical models along a vertical cross-section perpendicular to the Western Alps. We run our models with different driving forces in order to investigate, one by one, the geodynamic processes proposed in the literature. Results are compared with available geodetic, geological and seismotectonic data. In order to bring into coincidence model predictions and observations, an important vertical isostatic readjustment must be included in the modelling, together with a slight horizontal compression (0.5 mm year(-1)), probably due to Africa-Eurasia convergence. We show that the subduction process in this Alpine region is likely to be dead and that buoyancy forces may be dominating the present-day tectonics. | |||||

| Abstract: This paper describes the work of sea level data rescue, digitization, reduction to a common vertical reference and quality control leading to the reconstruction of a time series for the Atlantic NW coast of France (Pertuis d'Antioche). A total of 14 sea level data sets were merged to build a consistent composite time series of monthly and annual mean sea levels spanning 188 years (1824-2011).The estimation of a linear trend for this time series yields a relative mean sea level rise for the region of 1.3±0.1mmyr-1 for the whole study period, and 1.9±0.2mmyr-1 for the 20th century, consistent with previous studies in the region. This work evidences the importance of data archaeology in the pursuing of historical information useful for sea level studies, which can be relevant for climate research and coastal management amongst other applications. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have been widely used to monitor variations in the earth's ionosphere by estimating total electron content (TEC) using dual-frequency observations. Differential code biases (DCBs) are one of the important error sources in estimating precise TEC from GNSS data. The International GNSS Service (IGS) Analysis Centers have routinely provided DCB estimates for GNSS satellites and IGS ground receivers, but the DCBs for regional and local network receivers are not provided. Furthermore, the DCB values of GNSS satellites or receivers are assumed to be constant over 1 day or 1 month, which is not always the case. We describe Matlab code to estimate GNSS satellite and receiver DCBs for time intervals from hours to days; the software is called M_DCB. The DCBs of GNSS satellites and ground receivers are tested and evaluated using data from the IGS GNSS network. The estimates from M_DCB show good agreement with the IGS Analysis Centers with a mean difference of less than 0. 7 ns and an RMS of less than 0. 4 ns, even for a single station DCB estimate. © 2012 Springer-Verlag. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The only vertical land movement signal routinely corrected for when estimating absolute sea-level change from tide gauge data is that due to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). We compare modeled GIA uplift (ICE-5G + VM2) with vertical land movement at ∼300 GPS stations located near to a global set of tide gauges, and find regionally coherent differences of commonly ±0.5–2 mm/yr. Reference frame differences and signal due to present-day mass trends cannot reconcile these differences. We examine sensitivity to the GIA Earth model by fitting to a subset of the GPS velocities and find substantial regional sensitivity, but no single Earth model is able to reduce the disagreement in all regions. We suggest errors in ice history and neglected lateral Earth structure dominate model-data differences, and urge caution in the use of modeled GIA uplift alone when interpreting regional- and global- scale absolute (geocentric) sea level from tide gauge data. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We use velocities from 65 continuous stations and 31 survey-mode GPS sites as well as kinematic modeling to investigate present day deformation along the Africa-Iberia plate boundary zone in the western Mediterranean region. The GPS velocity field shows southwestward motion of the central part of the Rif Mountains in northern Morocco with respect to Africa varying between 3.5 and 4.0. mm/yr, consistent with prior published results. Stations in the southwestern part of the Betic Mountains of southern Spain move west-southwest with respect to Eurasia (˜ 2-3. mm/yr). The western component of Betics motion is consistent with partial transfer of Nubia-Eurasia plate motion into the southern Betics. The southward component of Betics motion with respect to Iberia is kinematically consistent with south to southwest motion of the Rif Mountains with respect to Africa. We use block modeling, constrained by mapped surface faults and seismicity to estimate the geometry and rates of strain accumulation on plate boundary structures. Our preferred plate boundary geometry includes one block between Iberia and Africa including the SW Betics, Alboran Sea, and central Rif. This geometry provides a good fit to the observed motions, suggesting a wide transpressive boundary in the westernmost Mediterranean, with deformation mainly accommodated by the Gloria-Azores fault system to the West and the Rif-Tell lineament to the East. Block boundaries encompass aspects of earlier interpretations suggesting three main deformation styles: (i) extension along the NE-SW trending Trans-Alboran shear zone, (ii) dextral strike-slip in the Betics corresponding to a well defined E-W seismic lineament, and (iii) right lateral strike-slip motion extending West to the Azores and right-lateral motion with compression extending East along the Algerian Tell. We interpret differential motion in the Rif-Alboran-Betic system to be driven both by surface processes related the Africa-Eurasia oblique convergence and sub-crustal dynamic processes associated with the long history of subduction of the Neotethys ocean lithosphere. The dextral slip identified in the Betic Mountains in Southern Spain may be related to the offshore fault that produced the Great 1755 Lisbon Earthquake, and as such may represent a significant seismic hazard for the West Mediterranean region. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Estimation of tropospheric gradients in GNSS data processing is a well-known technique to improve positioning (e.g. Bar-Sever et al., 1998; Chen and Herring, 1997). More recently, several authors also focused on the estimation of such parameters for meteorological studies and demonstrated their potential benefits (e.g. Champollion et al., 2004). Today, they are routinely estimated by several global and regional GNSS analysis centres but they are still not yet used for operational meteorology. This paper discusses the physical meaning of tropospheric gradients estimated from GPS observations recorded in 2011 by 13 permanent stations located in Corsica Island (a French Island in the western part of Italy). Corsica Island is a particularly interesting location for such study as it presents a significant environmental contrast between the continent and the sea, as well as a steep topography. Therefore, we estimated Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) and tropospheric gradients using two software: GAMIT/GLOBK (GAMIT version 10.5) and GIPSY-OASIS II version 6.1. Our results are then compared to radiosonde observations and to the IGS final troposphere products. For all stations we found a good agreement between the ZWD estimated by the two software (the mean of the ZWD differences is 1 mm with a standard deviation of 6 mm) but the tropospheric gradients are in less good agreement (the mean of the gradient differences is 0.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.7 mm), despite the differences in the processing strategy (double-differences for GAMIT/GLOBK versus zero-difference for GIPSY-OASIS). We also observe that gradient amplitudes are correlated with the seasonal behaviour of the humidity. Like ZWD estimates, they are larger in summer than in winter. Their directions are stable over the time but not correlated with the IWV anomaly observed by ERA-Interim. Tropospheric gradients observed at many sites always point to inland throughout the year. These preferred directions are almost opposite to the largest slope of the local topography as derived from the world Digital Elevation Model ASTER GDEM v2. These first results give a physical meaning to gradients but the origin of such directions need further investigations. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We present a new 3-D GPS velocity solution for 182 sites for the region encompassing the Western Alps, Pyrenees, and southern France. The velocity field is based on a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solution, to which we apply a common-mode filter, defined by the 26 longest time series, in order to correct for network-wide biases (reference frame, unmodeled large-scale processes, etc.). We show that processing parameters, such as troposphere delay modeling, can lead to systematic velocity variations of 0.1–0.5 mm yr−1 affecting both accuracy and precision, especially for short (&lt; 5 years) time series. A velocity convergence analysis shows that minimum time-series lengths of ∼ 3 and ∼ 5.5 years are required to reach a velocity stability of 0.5 mm yr−1 in the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. On average, horizontal residual velocities show a stability of ∼ 0.2 mm yr−1 in the Western Alps, Pyrenees, and southern France. The only significant horizontal strain rate signal is in the western Pyrenees with up to 4 × 10−9 yr−1 NNE–SSW extension, whereas no significant strain rates are detected in the Western Alps (&lt; 1 × 10−9 yr−1). In contrast, we identify significant uplift rates up to 2 mm yr−1 in the Western Alps but not in the Pyrenees (0.1 ± 0.2 mm yr−1). A correlation between site elevations and fast uplift rates in the northern part of the Western Alps, in the region of the Würmian ice cap, suggests that part of this uplift is induced by postglacial rebound. The very slow uplift rates in the southern Western Alps and in the Pyrenees could be accounted for by erosion-induced rebound. | |||||

| Abstract: Collisional mountain belts grow as a consequence of continental plate convergence and eventually disappear under the combined effects of gravitational collapse and erosion. Using a decade of GPS data, we show that the western Alps are currently characterized by zero horizontal velocity boundary conditions, offering the opportunity to investigate orogen evolution at the time of cessation of plate convergence. We find no significant horizontal motion within the belt, but GPS and levelling measurements independently show a regional pattern of uplift reaching ˜2.5 mm/yr in the northwestern Alps. Unless a low viscosity crustal root under the northwestern Alps locally enhances the vertical response to surface unloading, the summed effects of isostatic responses to erosion and glaciation explain at most 60% of the observed uplift rates. Rock-uplift rates corrected from transient glacial isostatic adjustment contributions likely exceed erosion rates in the northwestern Alps. In the absence of active convergence, the observed surface uplift must result from deep-seated processes. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: The Pyrenean mountain range is a slowly deforming belt with continuous and moderate seismic activity. To quantify its deformation field, we present the velocity field estimated from a GPS survey of the Pyrenees spanning 18 yr. The PotSis and ResPyr networks, including a total of 85 GPS sites, were installed and first measured in 1992 and 1995–1997, respectively, and remeasured in 2008 and 2010. We obtain a deformation field with velocities less than 1 mm yr−1 across the range. The estimated velocities for individual stations do not differ significantly from zero with 95 per cent confidence. Even so, we estimate a maximum extensional horizontal strain rate of 2.0 ± 1.7 nanostrain per year in a N–S direction in the western part of the range. We do not interpret the vertical displacements due to their large uncertainties. In order to compare the horizontal strain rates with the seismic activity, we analyse a set of 194 focal mechanisms using three methods: (i) the ‘r’ factor relating their P and T axes, (ii) the stress tensors obtained by fault slip inversion and (iii) the strain-rate tensors. Stress and strain-rate tensors are estimated for: (i) the whole data set, (ii) the eastern and western parts of the range separately, and (iii) eight zones, which are defined based on the seismicity and the tectonic patterns of the Pyrenees. Each of these analyses reveals a lateral variation of the deformation style from compression and extension in the east to extension and strike-slip in the west of the range. Although the horizontal components of the strain-rate tensors estimated from the seismic data are slightly smaller in magnitude than those computed from the GPS velocity field, they are consistent within the 2σ uncertainties. Furthermore, the orientations of their principal axes agree with the mapped active faults. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: Precise weekly positions of 403 Global Positioning System (GPS) stations located worldwide are obtained by reprocessing GPS data of these stations for the time span from 4 January 1998 until 29 December 2007. The processing algorithms and models used as well as the solution and results obtained are presented. Vertical velocities of 266 GPS stations having a tracking history longer than 2.5 yr are computed; 107 of them are GPS stations located at tide gauges (TIGA observing stations). The vertical velocities calculated in this study are compared with the estimates from the co-located tide gauges and other GPS solutions. The formal errors of the estimated vertical velocities are 0.01–0.80 mm yr−1. The vertical velocities of our solution agree within 1 mm yr−1 with those of the recent solutions (ULR5 and ULR3) of the Université de La Rochelle for about 67–75 per cent of the common stations. Examples of typical behaviour of station height changes are given and interpreted. The derived height time series and vertical motions of continuous GPS at tide gauges stations can be used for correcting the vertical land motion in tide gauge records of sea level changes. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: The GNSS reflectometry technique provides geometric information on the environment surrounding the GNSS antenna including the vertical distance to a reflecting surface. We use sea-surface reflections of GPS signals, recorded as oscillations in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), to estimate the GNSS to tide gauge (TG) levelling tie, and thus the ellipsoidal heights of the TG. We develop approaches to isolate SNR data dominated by sea-surface reflections and to remove SNR frequency changes caused by the dynamic sea surface. Comparison with in situ levelling at eight sites reveals mean differences at the centimetre level for satellites above 12 backslash(ˆbackslashcirc backslash) elevation, with four sites showing differences of 3 cm or smaller. These differences include errors in the in situ levelling, in the antenna calibration model and in the TG measurements, and so represent an upper bound on our technique’s error. Data sampling (1 or 30 s) does not significantly affect the results. We detect systematic errors at the decimetre level related to satellite elevations below 12 backslash(ˆbackslashcirc backslash) and to sea-surface height and also differences between results from the L1 and L2 GPS signals larger than 15 cm at two sites. These systematic errors remain unexplained; differences between GPS signals are attributed to receiver-dependent differences in the SNR measurements, while the elevation-dependent error is attributed to unmodelled phase effects such as those caused by tropospheric refraction and sea-surface roughness. Using our approach, we identify a levelling offset of 1.5 cm related to a TG sensor change, illustrating our technique’s value for TG reference monitoring. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Global Positioning System (GPS) data from 181 permanent stations extracted from different networks covering France and the Italian part of the Alps are used to estimate a homogeneous set of tropospheric parameters over 14 years (from January 1998 to May 2012). The tropospheric Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) quantified in the GPS data analysis is closely related to the value of integrated water vapor above each GPS station. GPS ZTD is already successfully used for operational weather prediction and meteorological analyses, providing valuable data to improve our comprehension of the tropospheric water cycle and in particular to improve the prediction of precipitations. Moreover, GPS tropospheric measurements are intrinsically stable, so that long-term observations represent a signi``ficant contribution to climatological studies. The results of a homogeneous reanalysis of up to 14 years of data with MIT’s GAMIT/GLOBK software are presented. The estimated tropospheric parameters are one ZTD every 2 h and one couple of horizontal tropospheric gradients, seven times a day for each station, simultaneously with a daily positioning solution. A quality check of the tropospheric parameter time series identifies offsets, for example, due to instrument changes at individual sites. Our analysis strategy using the empirical GMF is validated by a comparison with the new GPT2 model. Moreover, a comparison with the IGS analysis of 1 year is provided for common stations. The resulting verified time series can be used for meteorological and climatological studies. As first examples, we present a convergence test for the ZTD change in time and a regional climatological approach that could permit identifying specific patterns of ZTD variation that are related to severe weather events. The 181 ZTD and gradient time series are made available in the Reseau National GPS permanent (RENAG) database. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: In this paper station coordinate time series from three space geodesy techniques that have contributed to the realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2014 (ITRF2014) are compared. In particular the height component time series extracted from official combined intra-technique solutions submitted for ITRF2014 by DORIS, VLBI and GNSS Combination Centers have been investigated. The main goal of this study is to assess the level of agreement among these three space geodetic techniques. A novel analytic method, modeling time series as discrete-time Markov processes, is presented and applied to the compared time series. The analysis method has proven to be particularly suited to obtain quasi-cyclostationary residuals which are an important property to carry out a reliable harmonic analysis. We looked for common signatures among the three techniques. Frequencies and amplitudes of the detected signals have been reported along with their percentage of incidence. Our comparison shows that two of the estimated signals, having one-year and 14 days periods, are common to all the techniques. Different hypotheses on the nature of the signal having a period of 14 days are presented. As a final check we have compared the estimated velocities and their standard deviations (STD) for the sites that co-located the VLBI, GNSS and DORIS stations, obtaining a good agreement among the three techniques both in the horizontal (1.0 mm/yr mean STD) and in the vertical (0.7 mm/yr mean STD) component, although some sites show larger STDs, mainly due to lack of data, different data spans or noisy observations. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: This paper proposes a method of real-time monitoring and modeling the ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) by Precise Point Positioning (PPP). Firstly, the ionospheric TEC and receiver's Differential Code Biases (DCB) are estimated with the undifferenced raw observation in real-time, then the ionospheric TEC model is established based on the Single Layer Model (SLM) assumption and the recovered ionospheric TEC. In this study, phase observations with high precision are directly used instead of phase smoothed code observations. In addition, the DCB estimation is separated from the establishment of the ionospheric model which will limit the impacts of the SLM assumption impacts. The ionospheric model is established at every epoch for real time application. The method is validated with three different GNSS networks on a local, regional, and global basis. The results show that the method is feasible and effective, the real-time ionosphere and DCB results are very consistent with the IGS final products, with a bias of 1-2 TECU and 0.4 ns respectively. ?? 2013 COSPAR.

| Abstract: During a short experiment we have investigated the vertical variability of water vapor in the lower part of the atmosphere with the help of small network of GPS stations positioned on the eastern slopes of the Puy de Dôme in central France. We have found out that the urban layer exhibits somewhat constant water vapor content. In contrast, the major IWV variations arise in the upper troposphere level, in particular in the presence of westerly flows that bring elevated water vapor content over the mountain ridge. Finally, the transition layer situated between these lower and upper levels presents quite variable water vapor content, acting as a buffer zone for the boundary layer. Comparing two episodes of higher water vapor contents, one being associated with a sharp frontal passage, we have shown that the contrasted behavior of the different layers revealed the possible formation of clouds before the advent of rain. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: In this work, we investigate the relationship between the structure and evolution (from initiation to decay) of precipitation systems, and the associated water vapour distributions during the COPS (Convective Orographically-induced Precipitation Study). This international field campaign took place over an area from the Vosges to the Black Forest Mountains, across the Rhine Valley, in summer 2007. In particular, we consider water vapour retrieval through GPS integrated water vapour 2D maps and 3D tomography, and compare these to precipitation systems observed with the ground-based C-band POLDIRAD weather radar. We have demonstrated the predominant role of water vapour as a precursor to convective initiation for local convective cell generation. Water vapour accumulation on the crest of the orography is associated with ridge convection, while water vapour passing over the mountain top and creating valley outflows generates lee-side convection, often triggered by a small hill positioned within or close to the valley exit, or by a local convergence with the water vapour field over the plain. We have also noted that frontal systems seem to develop preferentially where the largest amount of water vapour is available. Likewise, in the case of frontal systems, well-formed synoptic-scale storms are associated with high water vapour signatures, while weaker systems with embedded convection appear to trail high water vapour areas where the convective element is associated with local water vapour depletion. This latter aspect could be the signature of convective cloud formation, when water vapour is transferred into liquid water, before the onset of precipitation.

article | DOI URL |
| Abstract: This study focuses on the recurring climate conditions required for the largest storms occurring in NW France (Brittany). It is based on the analysed records of storm events along Western Brittany coast (see Part I). In this manuscript (Part II), storm recurrence is explored along with forcing mechanisms. Periods of more frequent storm events over the two last centuries are analysed first in order to link these events with possible forcing mechanisms (North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) modes) triggering the most destructive storms. Then, palaeostorm events are discussed at the Holocene scale, from 6000 yr BP to present, to verify the forcing mechanisms. Most recorded events appear to be linked with cooling episodes, mostly in winter, a transition to or from a negative winter NAO mode, a positive AMO mode. Extreme storms occur immediately prior to the ‘Medieval Warm Period’ (MWP). Maximum effects are reached prior to the onset of the MWP and during the Maunder and Dalton solar minima. Low storm activity occurred during the Spörer Minimum linked to an acceleration of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Main storm triggers seem to correspond to a positive AMO mode with an unstable jetstream configuration driving a negative NAO. In this study, four specific weather configurations were defined to explain each type of recorded storminess. The strongest storms correspond to low AMO and decennial-negative NAO modes (e.g. ‘Little Ice Age’), or high AMO in association with dominant low NAO modes, as during the early Middle Age and present-day period. Fresh or warm oceans in association with a positive NAO mode are stormy but with very low sting storms frequency. Although in agreement with the orbital forcing and the Holocene glacial history, increasing storm frequency and intensity is most probably partly biased by continuous sea-level rise and resulting erosion. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Observations of the Global Positioning System (GPS) were reanalyzedbackslashnover the period from 1994 to 2004 in a joint project of the technicalbackslashnuniversities in Dresden and Munich. The estimated tropospheric parametersbackslashnwere converted into precipitable water (PW) using surface pressurebackslashnobservations from the World Meteorological Organization and atmosphericbackslashnmean temperature fields from the European Centre for Medium-RangebackslashnWeather Forecasts. For the first time a systematic study of the homogeneitybackslashnof global GPS-derived precipitable water time series was carriedbackslashnout regarding the influence of changes in the GPS antennas and radomesbackslashnas well as changes in the number of recorded observations. The focusbackslashnof this study is on interannual changes in precipitable water. OverbackslashnEurope, large parts of North America, and Iceland and in the regionbackslashnsouth of 30°S, these changes are very small. The range of the PWbackslashnvariations on interannual time scales is less than 2 mm in thesebackslashnareas. However, in the southeastern part of North America and northbackslashnAustralia, these anomalies in precipitable water show a range ofbackslashnup to 6 mm. In the tropics, PW anomalies with a range of up to 10backslashnmm were found. GPS PW was compared with a modeled PW assuming waterbackslashnvapor saturation.

article | DOI |
| Abstract: We argue that seismotectonic activity in the Central Mediterranean area and the Aegean-Balkan zone is driven by the NNE-ward motion of Africa and westward motion of Anatolia with respect to Eurasia. These boundary conditions can plausibly and coherently account for E-W shortening and roughly S-N extension in the Aegean domain, thrusting and uplift at the boundary between the Aegean-Balkan system and the Adriatic/Ionian domain (Hellenic trench, Cephalonia fault, Epirus, Albanides and Southern Dinarides), the kinematics of the Adria plate (a large block encompassing the Adriatic continental domain, the northern Ionian zone and Hyblean-Adventure block) and consequently, the complex pattern of deformation recognized at its boundaries. Furthermore, the fact that in our scheme Adria moves almost in connection with Africa is consistent with the lack of an active decoupling zone between Adria and Africa, an evidence that can hardly be reconciled with the kinematics so far proposed for these two plates. The reasons why we adopt an Africa-Eurasia relative motion different from that implied by the popular NUVEL-1 global solution are discussed in detail. Finally, we make some considerations about the possible implications of the presently available geodetic data on the long-term plate kinematics. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.We review the measurement of the mean dynamic topography (MDT) of the Mediterranean using ellipsoidal heights of sea level at discrete tide gauge locations, and across the entire basin using satellite altimetry, subtracting estimates of the geoid obtained from recent models. This ‘geodetic approach’ to the determination of the MDT can be compared to the independent ‘ocean approach’ that involves the use of in situ oceanographic measurements and ocean modelling. We demonstrate that with modern geoid and ocean models there is an encouraging level of consistency between the two sets of MDTs. In addition, we show how important geodetic MDT information can be in judging between existing global ocean circulation models, and in providing insight for the development of new ones. The review makes clear the major limitations in Mediterranean data sets that prevent a more complete validation, including the need for improved geoid models of high spatial resolution and accuracy. Suggestions are made on how a greater amount of reliable geo-located tide gauge information can be obtained in the future. | |||||

| Abstract: This paper describes the historical sea level data that we have rescued from a tide gauge, especially devised originally for geodesy. This gauge was installed in Marseille in 1884 with the primary objective of defining the origin of the height system in France. Hourly values for 1885-1988 have been digitized from the original tidal charts. They are supplemented by hourly values from an older tide gauge record (1849-1851) that was rediscovered during a survey in 2009. Both recovered data sets have been critically edited for errors and their reliability assessed. The hourly values are thoroughly analysed for the first time after their original recording. A consistent high-frequency time series is reported, increasing notably the length of one of the few European sea level records in the Mediterranean Sea spanning more than one hundred years. Changes in sea levels are examined, and previous results revisited with the extended time series. The rate of relative sea level change for the period 1849-2012 is estimated to have been (Formula presented.) mm/year at Marseille, a value that is slightly lower but in close agreement with the longest time series of Brest over the common period ((Formula presented.) mm/year). The data from a permanent global positioning system station installed on the roof of the solid tide gauge building suggests a remarkable stability of the ground ((Formula presented.) mm/year) since 1998, confirming the choice made by our predecessor geodesists in the nineteenth century regarding this site selection. © 2014 The Author(s). | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Within the framework of the international field campaign COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study), a large suite of state-of-the-art meteorological instrumentation was operated, partially combined for the first time. This includes networks of in situ and remote-sensing systems such as the Global Positioning System as well as a synergy of multi-wavelength passive and active remote-sensing instruments such as advanced radar and lidar systems. The COPS field phase was performed from 01 June to 31 August 2007 in a low-mountain area in southwestern Germany/eastern France covering the Vosges mountains, the Rhine valley and the Black Forest mountains. The collected data set covers the entire evolution of convective precipitation events in complex terrain from their initiation, to their development and mature phase until their decay. Eighteen Intensive Observation Periods with 37 operation days and eight additional Special Observation Periods were performed, providing a comprehensive data set covering different forcing conditions. In this article, an overview of the COPS scientific strategy, the field phase, and its first accomplishments is given. Highlights of the campaign are illustrated with several measurement examples. It is demonstrated that COPS research provides new insight into key processes leading to convection initiation and to the modification of precipitation by orography, in the improvement of quantitative precipitation forecasting by the assimilation of new observations, and in the performance of ensembles of convection-permitting models in complex terrain.

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a well-known technique of positioning by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) that provides accurate solutions. With the availability of real-time precise orbit and clock products provided by the International GNSS Service (IGS) and by individual analysis centers such as Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales through the IGS Real-Time Project, PPP in real time is achievable. With such orbit and clock products and using dual-frequency receivers, first-order ionospheric effects can be eliminated by the ionospheric-free combination. Concerning the tropospheric delays, the Zenith Hydrostatic Delays can be quite well modeled, although the Zenith Wet Delays (ZWDs) have to be estimated because they cannot be mitigated by, for instance, observable combinations. However, adding ZWD estimates in PPP processing increases the time to achieve accurate positions. In order to reduce this convergence time, we (1) model the behavior of troposphere over France using ZWD estimates at Orphéon GNSS reference network stations and (2) send the modeling parameters to the GNSS users to be introduced as a priori ZWDs, with an appropriate uncertainty. At the user level, float PPP-RTK is achieved; that is, GNSS data are performed in kinematic mode and ambiguities are kept float. The quality of the modeling is assessed by comparison with tropospheric products published by Institut National de l’Information Géographique et Forestière. Finally, the improvements in terms of required time to achieve 10-cm accuracy for the rover position (simulated float PPP-RTK) are quantified and discussed. Results for 68 % quantiles of absolute errors convergence show that gains for GPS-only positioning with ZWDs derived from the assessed tropospheric modeling are about: 1 % (East), 20 % (North), and 5 % (Up). Since ZWD estimation is correlated with satellite geometry, we also investigated the positioning when processing GPS + GLONASS data, which increases significantly the number of available satellites. The improvements achieved by adding tropospheric corrections in this case are about: 2 % (East), 5 % (North), and 13 % (Up). Finally, a reduction in the number of reference stations by using a sparser network configuration to perform the tropospheric modeling does not degrade the generated tropospheric corrections, and similar performances are achieved. | |||||

article | DOI |
| Abstract: Recent work in the field of cryo‐seismology demonstrates that high‐frequency (>1 Hz) seismic waves provide key constraints on a wide range of glacier processes, such as basal friction, surface crevassing, or subglacial water flow. Establishing quantitative links between the seismic signal and the processes of interest, however, requires detailed characterization of the wavefield, which, at high frequencies, necessitates the deployment of large and dense seismic arrays. Although dense seismic array monitoring has recently become increasingly common in geophysics, its application to glaciated environments remains limited. Here, we present a dense seismic array experiment made of 98 three‐component seismic stations continuously recording during 35 days in early spring 2018 on the Argentière Glacier, French Alps. The seismic dataset is supplemented with a wide range of complementary observations obtained from ground‐penetrating radar, drone imagery, Global Navigation Satellite Systems positioning, and in situ measurements of basal glacier sliding velocities and subglacial water discharge. We present first results through conducting spectral analysis, template matching, matched‐field processing, and eikonal‐wave tomography. We report enhanced spatial resolution on basal stick slip and englacial fracturing sources as well as novel constraints on the heterogeneous nature of the noise field generated by subglacial water flow and on the link between crevasse properties and englacial seismic velocities. We outline in which ways further work using this dataset could help tackle key remaining questions in the field. | |||||
