Abstract
The Satellite Geoinformatics Research Center (SGRC) at The National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) has been involved in a national GPS Campaign held by the Ministry of Interior (MOI) to provide a new estimate of the national coordinate system through a national-wide continuous tracking network.
To augment this network, a GPS tracking station has been built up and operated by the research center since September 1996. The tracking site, known as CK01, is located at a recreation park in Tainan. GPS data have been collected on daily basis and transmitted back to the center through a telephone line.
The center is responsible for processing the GPS data from the local network to obtain the GPS site coordinates in a global system. To accomplish this, the raw data from a regional GPS tracking network have been collected through the Internet. Both of local and global data of two-year span were processed by GAMIT and GLOBK software. More than 60 tracking sites were involved.
The result from the data processing is adopted by MOI as the new national coordinate system. It also shows a tectonic motion of more than five centimeters along the east coast of the island.
