8 Recent Advances in Seismogeodetic Analysis 1) A real time GPS service that produces satellite clocks and fractional cycle biases available for positioning individual sites. This means cpu requirements increase linearly with the number of sites in PPP mode, increasing the feasibility of analyzing from large dense networks in real time; Geng, J., C. Shi, M. Ge, A. H. Dodson, Y. Lou, Q. Zhao, and J. Liu (2012), Improving the estimation of fractional-cycle biases for ambiguity resolution in precise point positioning, Journal of Geodesy, 86(8), ) The tightly-coupled Kalman filter combination of GPS observations with local accelerometer. This provides ambiguity resolution comparable in quality to a network solution and real-time precision of < 15mm horizontal standard deviation; Geng, J., Y. Bock, D. Melgar, B. W. Crowell, and J. S. Haase (2013), A new seismogeodetic approach applied to GPS and accelerometer observations of the 2012 Brawley seismic swarm: Implications for earthquake early warning, Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 14(7), (3) Finite CMT and fault slip models (Tokachi-oki, El Mayor-Cucapah, Tohoku-oki) Melgar, D., Y. Bock and B. Crowell (2012), Real-time centroid moment tensor determination for large earthquakes from local and regional displacement records, Geophys. J. Int., doi: /j X x. Crowell, B. W., Y.

9 Recent Advances in Seismogeodetic Analysis 3) Real time integration of accelerometer to velocity and displacement without baseline corrections, providing the fundamental input for rapid finite fault source inversion; Melgar, D., Y. Bock, D. Sanchez and B. W. Crowell (2013), On robust and reliable automated baseline corrections for strong motion seismology, J. Geophys. Res., 118, 1 11, doi: /jgrb ) Tsunami Modeling (Tohoku-oki) Melgar, D. and Y. Bock (2013), Near-Field Tsunami Models with Rapid Earthquake Source Inversions from Land and Ocean Based Observations: The Potential for Forecast and Warning, J. Geophys. Res., 118, doi: /2013jb ) Simultaneous solution for ground motion tilt to mitigate errors in accelerometer recordings; Geng, J., D. Melgar, Y. Bock, E. Pantoli, and J. Restrepo (2013), Recovering coseismic point ground tilts from collocated high-rate GPS and accelerometers, Geophysical Research Letters, 40(19), ) P-wave detection and low frequency estimates of P-wave arrival displacement to support single station earthquake early warning.

16 Successful forecast of July 2003 summer monsoon and flooding S.D. GPS & sonde El Centro GPS Yuma GPS & sonde Forecaster remarks from NWS Weather Forecast Office in San Diego Realtime GPS precipitable water estimates were trending higher over eastern portions of the forecast area a flash flood watch will be needed for Saturday In order to see the character of the precipitable water values between Yuma and San Diego in the absence of a morning Yuma sounding, the GPS meteorology was utilized. Highway 78 flooded in two locations at Yacqui Pass with 30 vehicles trapped between the two flooded locations. Many large rocks in the roadway. Storm reports Battalion Chief flagged down by the public to report debris moving across the roadway on Sunrise Highway
