Abstract We investigate the surface deformation pattern of GPS station at MPGO Ghuttu (GHUT) to find out the cause of anomalous behavior in the continuous GPS time series. Seven years (2007-2013) of GPS data has been analyzed using GAMIT/GLOBK software and generated the daily position time series. The horizontal translational motion at GHUT is 43.7 ± 1 mm/yr at an angle of 41°± 3° towards NE, while for the IGS station at LHAZ, the motion is 49.4 ±1 mm/yr at 18 ± 2.5° towards NEE. The estimated velocity at GHUT station with respect to IISC is 12 ± 1 mm/yr towards SW. Besides, we have also examined anomalous changes in the time series of GHUT before, after and during the occurrences of local earthquakes by considering the empirical strain radius; such that, a possible relationship between the strain radius and the occurrences of earthquakes have been explored. We considered seven local earthquakes on the basis of Dobrovolsky strain radius condition having magnitude from 4.5 to 5.7, which occurred from 2007 to 2011. Results show irrespective of the station strain radius, pre-seismic surface deformational anomalies are observed roughly 70 to 80 days before the occurrence of a Moderate or higher magnitude events. This has been observed for the cases of those events originated from the Uttarakashi and the Chamoli seismic zones in the Garhwal and Kumaun Himalaya. Occurrences of short (< 100 days) and long (two years) inter-seismic events in the Garhwal region plausibly regulating and diffusing the regional strain accumulation.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;An intriguing sequence of a 2-stage SSE in Guerrero and a simultaneous SSE in Oaxaca took place in Mexico in 2017-2019. Three large earthquakes occur during these SSEs adding complexity to the observed surface deformations. The objective of this work is to explain the interaction between the overlapping seismic and aseismic events through the analysis of continuous GPS observations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We perform kinematic inversion of the GPS time series solving for the cumulative slip distribution on the subduction interface due to two SSEs, using Independent Component Analysis Inversion Method (ICAIM, Gualandi, 2015). The daily position time series for 2017-2019 are obtained by processing continuous data using GAMIT/GLOBK 10.7 (Herring et al, 2018). Strong postseismic signals generated by the following earthquakes 08/09/2017 Mw8.2 in Tehuantepec, 19/09/2017 Mw7.1 in Puebla-Morelos and 16/02/2018 Mw7.2 in Pinotepa are removed using the ICA decomposition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our results show complex slip evolution on the subduction interface. We observe a clear change of cumulative seismic moment release rate after large seismic events of 2017 and after the earthquake in Pinotepa in 2018. The occurrence of Mw8.2 and Mw7.1 events notably slowed down the slip propagation of the Guerrero SSE. Continuous SSE in Oaxaca propagates from the northeast near the city of Oaxaca (-97.00&amp;#176;E, 16.70&amp;#176;N) towards the southwest approaching Pinotepa (-98.00&amp;#176;E, 17.00&amp;#176;N). Guerrero SSE migrates from the origin of its 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; phase near Tecpan (-100.50&amp;#176;E, 17.50&amp;#176;N) southeastwards to Acapulco (-99.50&amp;#176;E, 17.20&amp;#176;N) where the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; stage develops. Therefore the stress changes induced by the two aseismic events likely triggered the Mw7.2 Pinotepa earthquake (-98.01&amp;#176;E, 16.22&amp;#176;N). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract. We use statistical analyses of synthetic position time series to estimate the potential precision of GPS velocities. The synthetic series represent the standard range of noise, seasonal, and position offset characteristics, leaving aside extreme values. This analysis is combined with a new simple method for automatic offset detection that allows an automatic treatment of the massive dataset. Colored noise and the presence of offsets are the primary contributor to velocity variability. However, regression tree analyses show that the main factors controlling the velocity precision are first the duration of the series, followed by the presence of offsets and the noise (dispersion and spectral index). Our analysis allows us to propose guidelines, which can be applied to actual GPS data, that constrain the velocity accuracies (expressed as 95 % confidence limits) based on simple parameters: (1) Series durations over 8.0 years result in high velocity accuracies in the horizontal (0.2 mm yr−1) and vertical (0.5 mm yr−1); (2) Series durations of less than 4.5 years cannot be used for high-precision studies since the horizontal accuracy is insufficient (over 1.0 mm yr−1); (3) Series of intermediate durations (4.5–8.0 years) are associated with an intermediate horizontal accuracy (0.6 mm yr-1) and a poor vertical one (1.3 mm yr−1), unless they comprise no offset. Our results suggest that very long series durations (over 15–20 years) do not ensure a better accuracy compare to series of 8–10 years, due to the noise amplitude following a power-law dependency on the frequency. Thus, better characterizations of long-period GPS noise and pluri-annual environmental loads are critical to further improve GPS velocity precisions.

The Integration of TLS and Continuous GPS to Study Landslide Deformation: A Case Study in Puerto RicoTerrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies provide comprehensive information on ground surface deformation in both spatial and temporal domains. These two data sets are critical inputs for geometric and kinematic modeling of landslides. This paper demonstrates an integrated approach in the application of TLS and continuous GPS (CGPS) data sets to the study of an active landslide on a steep mountain slope in the El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico. Major displacements of this landslide in 2004 and 2005 caused the closing of one of three remaining access roads to the national forest. A retaining wall was constructed in 2009 to restrain the landslide and allow the road reopen. However, renewed displacements of the landslide in the first half of 2010 resulted in deformation and the eventual rupture of the retaining wall. Continuous GPS monitoring and two TLS campaigns were performed on the lower portion of the landslide over a three-month period from May to August 2010. The TLS data sets identified the limits and total volume of themoving mass, while the GPS data quantified the magnitude and direction of the displacements. A continuous heavy rainfall in late July 2010 triggered a rapid 2-3 meter displacement of the landslide that finally ruptured the retaining wall. The displacement time series of the rapid displacement is modeled using a fling-step pulse from which precise velocity and acceleration time series of the displacement are derived. The data acquired in this study have demonstrated the effectiveness and power of the integrating TLS and continuous GPS techniques for landslide studies.

&lt;p&gt;In this study, we investigate the effect of gaps in data on the accuracy of deformation rates produced from GNSS campaign measurements. Our motivation in investigating gaps in data is that campaign GNSS time series might not be collected regularly due to various constraints in real life conditions. We used the baseline components produced from continuous GPS time series of JPL, NASA from a global network of the IGS to generate data gaps. The solutions of the IGS continuous GNSS time series were decimated to the solutions of the campaign data sampled one measurement per each month or three measurements per year. Furthermore, the effect of antenna set-up errors, which show Gaussian distribution, in campaign measurements was taken into account following the suggestions from the literature. The number of gaps in campaign GNSS time series was incremented plus one for each different trial until only one month is left within the specific year. Eventually, we tested whether the velocities obtained from GNSS campaign series containing data gaps differ signi&amp;#64257;cantly from the velocities derived from continuous data which is taken as to be the &amp;#8220;truth&amp;#8221;. The initial efforts using the samples from a restricted amount of data reveal that the deformation rate produced from the east component is more sensitive to the gaps in data than that of the components north and vertical.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords: &lt;/strong&gt;GPS time series; GPS campaigns; Velocity estimation; Gaps in data; Deformation.&lt;/p&gt;
