The plates frames are defined using Euler rotation poles found in the supplement of
Kreemer et al., 2014. The table is also separately available
at this link.
The format of the file is latitude(deg), longitude(deg), magnitude (deg/Myr), plate ID. To be entirely consisent with the assumed kinematic model, plate velocity at any latitude and longitude can then be computed using the formulas (B1) and (B2) in Kreemer et al., 2014, where Earth’s radius R = 6371 km.
Each station is associated with one or more tectonic plates, as defined by
Bird, 2002. Every station is on at least one plate, but some stations can have more than one plate associated with them if the second plate is close.
For every station there is at least one large plate in the set assigned to it (the large plates being PA, NA, SA, EU, AF, AN, AU).
A text file that lists the plates associated with each station is available
HERE.

Monuments
For about half of all GPS stations processed at NGL we have been able to extract and tabulate information about the station monuments from the IGS log files.
This information includes description of the monument, its foundation construction, height, depth, and geologic enviroment when available.
This information can be used to assess the factors contributing to station stability, error checking and tracking down issues in the time series, studies of noise characteristics, etc.
This information is now posted in the:
Monument Table
Loading Predictions
We now provide displacement predictions from models of geophysical surface loading. Three-component displacement predictions from non-tidal atmospheric, non-tidal ocean, hydrological model, and GRACE mascon-based equivalent water height, and reservoirs within the continentnal united states are included for all days for which we provide 24 hour solutions.
The data are provided as east, north, up triplets concatenated to the end of lines in our .tenv3 files.
The new files with the appended triplets can be found linked from every station page
and also
en masse at this link.
See this
Readme File for an explanation of the columns in the extended .tenv3 files.
Plots of the predictions for vertical motions are also available via a tab on the station pages
next to the time series plots, or for all stations in
this directory.
System Status Notes
(1) Rapid solutions may be degraded starting 2022-11-28 owing to a change in Rapid orbit and clock models from JPL which are now in the IERS 2010/ITRF2020 framework.
This causes a slight mismatch with current NGL processing models which will be rectified in mid-2023.
Final products are unaffected and remain in the IERS 2010/ITRF2014 framework.
(2) We expect that in 2023 JPL will have computed new Final orbits and clocks, and at that time
we will undertake complete reprocessing of Final products in the IERS 2020/ITRF2020 framework.
New NGL Final products will then be computed and are expected to be complete by early 2024.
