Station Report
Geoid velocity added
To correct for the vertical drift between reference frames, the velocity of the geoid height (VN) is now calculated and incorporated into the calculation of the orthometric height. View documentation to learn more.

Location
RESO is a continuously tracking GNSS station and is part of the Canadian Active Control System (CACS). The station is located at the Observatory in the community of Resolute, Cornwallis Island, Nunavut.
The GNSS reference mark consists of a brass plate with a forced centered stainless steel bolt cemented on top of a 0.127 m diameter, 8.0 m long galvanized steel pipe, set in shale and permafrost to a depth of 6.0 m. A slurry was poured into the pipe to ground level and insulation added to 0.3 m from the top. Cement was used to top off the remaining part for setting the brass plate. A 0.8 m high, 3.0 m diameter berme was built around the aboveground section of the pipe.
