Abstract
For more than two decades the Puerto Rico - Virgin Islands region has
been monitored for crustal deformation using GPS geodesy.
This objective was first done through a campaign style network that
consisted of a dozen sites collecting one measurement annually during the nineties.
Today, fifteen continuously operating GPS sites distributed throughout
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands form the Puerto Rico Seismic Network (PRSN)
GPS network. These sites provide data in two forms; 1Hz Real-time data
available through an NTRIP Caster and 1Hz and 30sps BINEX archived
files transferred from site to PRSN hourly and daily,
respectively. Here we present data flow methods employed at PRSN to bring
continuously operated GPS station data from the field back to PRSN, both in Real-time
form and archived. This presentation seeks to encourage other GPS or GNSS networks
in the Caribbean, particularly those hosting COCONet sites, to develop their own
data acquisition methods based on the solutions that have been either adopted or
developed at the PRSN. Empowering Caribbean networks to have control over their data
is critical for capacity building and enables the region to develop scientifically
as well as increase their education in matters of earthquake and tsunamis.
