| 内容記述 | Three mobile very long base interferometry (VLBI) systems were fabricated for the NASA Crustal Dynamics Project. These systems include the 9-meter-diameter MV-3 telescope. Since 1980, mobile systems operated in conjunction with several fixed base stations in the western United States as part of a geodetic survey program to determine relative motions and regional strain fields near the tectonic plate boundaries in California and Alaska. A description is given of the three mobile systems and the environment in which they must function. The inherent accuracy of mobile VLBI measurements is assessed, based on a consideration of major sources of error. Some recent results are presented which serve to illustrate various aspects of the error model and are of geodetic interest as they span the broad region surrounding the surface trace of the San Andreas Fault. These results indicate that baseline measurements utilizing the current mobile VLBI systems attained an accuracy of 2 cm or better in the horizontal plane. It is likely that crustal motions will be detected within the next few years, provided they are presently occurring at the geological rates. |
