Report Type : UPDATE
If Update:
Previous Site Log : upad00ita_20060321.log
Modified/Added Sections : 11, 13
1. Site Identification of the GNSS Monument
Site Name : University of Padova, Main Building
Four Character ID : UPAD
Monument Inscription :
IERS DOMES Number : 12750M002
CDP Number : (A4)
Monument Description : MAST
Height of the Monument : 1.862 m
Monument Foundation : ROOF
Foundation Depth : 10 m
Marker Description : NAIL
Date Installed : 1997-12-23
Geologic Characteristic : GRAVEL
Bedrock Type : SEDIMENTARY
Bedrock Condition : (FRESH/JOINTED/WEATHERED)
Fracture Spacing : (0 cm/1-10 cm/11-50 cm/51-200 cm/over 200 cm)
Fault zones nearby : NO
Distance/activity : (multiple lines)
Additional Information : New antenna replaces the previous
: on the same spot.
: No horizontal shift.
: Possible change in the vertical (mm level)
: due to different phase centres.
: On December 28, 1994, a new location for the
: antenna was adopted. This change was dictated
: by probable high multipath environment which
: existed in the configuration described in the
: LOGFILE UPAD0694.log. The new site is nearly
: five meters away from the 0694 location and
: seems much better (replaces 12750M001)
