1. Site Identification of the GPS Monument
Site Name : WHITEHORSE
Four Character ID : WHIT
Monument Inscription : 7787017
IERS DOMES Number : 40136M001
CDP Number :
Date Installed : 07-JUN-1996 00:00 UT
Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK
Bedrock Type : METAMORPHIC
Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED
Fracture Spacing :
Notes :
Additional Information : operational 09-JUN-1995;
: data also available for June - Sept. 1995;
: This station is part of the Western Canada
: Deformation Array (WCDA) as well as the
: Canadian Active Control System (CACS).
: The following information is current as of
: 26-NOV-97:
: *******************************************
: The GPS reference mark consists of a brass
: plate with a forced centred stainless steel
: bolt. The brass plate is embedded on top of
: a 1.5 metre high concrete pier, 40 cm in
: diameter. The concrete pier is anchored to
: exposed bedrock using steel re-enforcement
: bars. The antenna is attached to the brass
: forced centered plate via a 10 cm high
: anodized aluminum base. This base
: provides a constant height above the brass
: plate and also permits the antenna to be
: referenced to north.
