Location

SBRN is located on San Bruno Mountain, under the auspices of the city of Brisbane. This site is known as SFBSB in the USGS Low Frequency Network. 1.25" pipe bolted into borehole casing SBRB replaced retired GPS site SBRN. Monument is drilled and pinned into the roof of a single story concrete structure.

Network

Mini Plate Boundary Observatory Network (BK)
Bay Area Regional Deformation Network Network (BARD)

Geology

Upper Cretaceous, sandstone, shale, and conglomerate

Borehole Conditions

The MiniPBO borehole was installed on 08/06/2001. The strainmeter was installed at 551.5 ft and the seismometer package at 530.0 ft depth. This figure shows the location of equipment in the borehole.

GPS Data Quality


Completeness

Data completeness is defined both as "Completeness of observations" and "Cycle slips per observation". "Completeness of Obs." is the number of epochs in the final RINEX file normalized to the expected number. This percentage will go down if time is missing from the RINEX file. "Cycle slips per Obs." is the total number of detected cycle slip normalized to the total number of observations in the RINEX file. This number will increase as the receiver loses lock on satellites more frequently.

Multipath

The effects of multipath on the data are estimated by parameters for L1 and L2 (MP1 and MP2 respectively); see Estey and Meertens (GPS Solutions, 1999) for derivation. The daily value is the RMS of MP1 and MP2 throughout the day and for all satellites. Higher values indicate a greater prevalence and/or strength of multipathing, i.e. objects on the ground are providing multiple reflection pathways from the satellite to antenna.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

The Signal-to-Noise ratios are the mean values above the QC elevation mask for L1 and L2 respectively.
