Field Program as Planned\r\n\r\n- Survey for coordination of the survey control network on ITRF 2000.\r\n\r\n- Checking the accuracy of the recently completed Macquarie Island topographic map.\r\n\r\n- Correction of a known map contour anomaly on Wireless Hill.\r\n\r\n- Mapping of new structures in the ANARE station area.\r\n\r\n- Maintenance of existing survey control marks\r\n\r\n- Tide gauge levelling - assistance to Bob Twilley of Geosciences Australia.\r\n\r\n- Sea level calibration of the tide gauge situated adjacent to the ANARE station.\r\n\r\nField Program as Implemented\r\n\r\nAll field survey was carried out using Lieca 530 dual frequency GPS; in the static mode for control and post processed kinematic for mapping.\r\n\r\nWednesday 13th March\r\n\r\n- Inspection of tide gauge site and AUS91, AUS92, AUS228 and AAE BM1.\r\n\r\n- Ground survey in area of survey anomaly and other discrete features on Wireless Hill.\r\n\r\n- Survey for coordination of NMX/1 on ITRF 2000.\r\n\r\nThursday 14th March to Sunday 17th March\r\n\r\n- Inspection/maintenance of existing survey control marks NMAX/1, NMX/1, AUS190, AUS191,AUS227, ST937, NMX/6, NMX/7.\r\n\r\n- Survey for coordination of NMX/7, NMX/6, AUS188 (mark damaged), AUS191 and ST937 for coordination of the Macquarie Island on ITRF2000.\r\n\r\n- Placement and survey of SPM10581 at Green Gorge hut.\r\n\r\n- Survey on the southern half of Macquarie Island for map checking purposes. Survey of a representative sample of tracks, lakes, ridges and natural surface for heights and HWM.\r\n\r\nMonday 18th March\r\n\r\n- Mapping of new structures in the ANARE station area.\r\n\r\n- Survey on the isthmus area adjacent to the ANARE station, mapping the HWM and coastal vegetation edge, and a further number of discrete features.\r\n\r\n- Assistance to Bob Twilley of Geosciences Australia in first order levelling of the tide gauge / ARGN GPS station (MAC1 / AUS211) connection.\r\n\r\nSea level calibration of the tide gauge situated adjacent to the ANARE station was not ...
