Hi Hal:
In the talk there was a slide showing a comparison between ground position calculated from an accelerometer and a real
time precision GPS.
The Accelerometer is AC coupled and so misses the DC coupled GPS answer that
shows the permanent ground movement.
I'm guessing it takes a GPS receiver that has 100 Hz or faster outputs that can be reduced to cm or better position to
do this.
Have Fun,

The quake talk was not on line so I watched the one on Climate Change and
it's impact on N. California. Interesting, but no human impact data, only
wildlife.
It's up now.

For anybody in the Silicon Valley area, their open house is May 19-20. It's
kid friendly, both big kids and little kids. You get to talk to the people who
are actually doing the work. They are happy with geeky questions.

Back to somewhat time-nutty stuff...
Does anybody understand how they are using GPS and/or have performance numbers?
They don't need the actual position (DC), just the changes in position. They
need it now. They can't wait for post processing. I'm not sure how much
accuracy they need. I'd guess in the cm range.
(Maybe I can learn more at the open house.)
