Those efforts are finally coming to an end, and by 2025 it is expected that the modernized NSRS will be rolled-out. Four new terrestrial reference frames and a geopotential datum will replace the many disparate pieces of the current NSRS (including NAD 83 and NAVD 88). An updated version of OPUS and an entirely new database with new datasheets will be part of the new system. Come hear the latest updates and schedule for the modernized NSRS. *Technical Content Rating: Intermediate - Some prior knowledge of the topic is helpful. ________________________________ As a reminder, the NGS Webinar Series<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> hosts presentations on various topics related to NGS programs<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, projects, products and services to educate constituents about NGS activities. * View our upcoming schedule<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * View recordings of previous webinars<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * Have a question?

FYI: From: National Ocean Service, NOAA <nosnoaa(a)public.govdelivery.com> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2024 1:18 PM To: Parrish, Christopher <Christopher.Parrish(a)oregonstate.edu> Subject: BETA Release: OPUS-S upgraded to support multi-GNSS You don't often get email from nosnoaa(a)public.govdelivery.com<mailto:nosnoaa@public.govdelivery.com>.

The key improvement is support for multi-GNSS. By replacing the PAGES engine with M-PAGES<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, OPUS-S 5.0 (Beta) is capable of processing static baselines with data from multiple constellations via the submission of RINEX v3.xx files (with slightly limited functionality for RINEX v2.xx submissions). Another significant improvement is the inclusion of a new, daily CORS-quality metric in the algorithm used to select base stations. Summary of new features: * support for multi-GNSS (M-PAGES replaces PAGES) * enhanced CORS-selection algorithm * enhanced best 3-of-5 baselines algorithm * direct support for RINEX v3 * new summary header in solution report [Screenshot of beta OPUS-S page with new multi-GNSS updates.] Users now have the option to include data from multiple constellations, which can improve position quality. ________________________________ NGS Welcomes Your Feedback <mailto:NGS.feedback@noaa.gov>[Tell us what you think]<mailto:NGS.feedback@noaa.gov><mailto:NGS.feedback@noaa.gov> To help ensure that we are meeting your needs, please give this new tool a try and let us know what you think.
