Phillips collects GPS reference data to measure subsidence offshore of several oil platforms. Some platforms serve as non-subsiding reference points for these measurements. The data originates from the SCIOPS organization via NASA's EarthData platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling subsidence rates for specific oil platforms using GPS time-series data.
- Comparing deformation between subsiding platforms and designated reference platforms.
- Analyzing spatial patterns of subsidence across multiple offshore sites from geodetic observations.
Strengths
- Data is collected for the specific purpose of measuring subsidence at offshore oil platforms.
- Includes designated non-subsiding platforms as reference points for calibration.
Limitations
- The sample size, temporal coverage, and geographic scope of the observations are unknown.
- Specific data columns, formats, and measurement precision are not documented.
Provenance
- Source
- SCIOPS organization, accessed via NASA EarthData.
- Collection Method
- GPS reference data collection offshore of oil platforms.
- Geography
- Offshore oil platform locations (specific regions unknown).
