NASA/Crustal Dynamics Project Geodetic Data Analysis

The VLBI group in NASA's Crustal Dynamics Project (CDP) maintains an integrated system for analyzing geodetic VLBI data. This system includes: CALC, calibration programs, SOLVE, GLOBL, and the Data Base System. CALC is the program which contains the models used to calculate the theoretical delay. SOLVE is used to analyze single experiments. GLOBL is used to analyze large groups of experiments. The Data Base System is a self-documenting data storage system used to pass data between programs and archive the data. Kalman filtering is being investigated for operational use in geodetic data analysis.
