Advances in Real-Time Geophysical Network Operations and Data Analytics

The ongoing upgrade of existing GNSS network infrastructure to real-time capability combined with advances in data management has made the possibility of hemispherical-scale low-latency, high-rate GNSS monitoring systems an actuality. Real-time GNSS streams are already being incorporated into earthquake and tsunami early warning systems, space weather monitoring and meteorological forecasting. 

To become an integral part of monitoring systems the networks must have redundant data flow paths and low latencies both in data retrieval and analysis. This, and the interest in integrating GNSS, seismic and meteorological networks combined with the push of data processing to the network edge has created an opportunity to rethink traditional data flow paths and the implementation of real-time data analysis for geophysical monitoring.

This session provides an opportunity for network operators, researchers and infrastructure groups to discuss these ideas. We encourage presentations on the upgrade of existing geophysical networks to real-time capability, the integration of GNSS and seismic networks, the use of cloud technology and containerized systems to manage data flow and the development of real-time analytics to monitor the state of health of the networks, the data quality of the incoming streams and real-time data processing.
