Abstract
The Geodetic-Geodynamic network (G1) was established with the intention of monitoring recent crustal deformations in Israel and serving as a major control network. In 1996 the network was measured for the first time using GPS. The goal of the proposed design is to improve the ability of the network to detect and measure movements and deformations, based on the geological phenomena to be monitored, while satisfying the demand for high accuracy and reliability. This paper presents the network configuration design of the second GPS measurement campaign of the G1 network held during 2002. Sensitivity analysis of the network, as dependent upon a postulated velocity field, was used as the basis for the network configuration design.
