Short-term geodynamic displacements

Method for detecting short-term displacements of the Earth's surface by statistical analysis of GNSS time series

Short-term geodynamic displacements of the Earth's surface are studied insufficiently because the unambiguous identification of such geodynamic processes is quite a difficult task. Short-term geodynamic processes can be observed by considering GNSS time series lasting up to 2 months. The coordinate displacements are visually almost unnoticeable comparing annual time series. In this work, an algorithm based on the results of statistical analysis of time series of several GNSS stations on purpose to find simultaneous displacements of the Earth's surface is developed.
