In April, 2000 Mark Bardakjian of Andregg, Incorporated (a Surveying/Engineering
firm in Auburn, CA) ran a series of levels using a digital level
between four sets of stations. These stations are all part of
the Yolo County GPS/Vertical network observed in 1999.
The differences
in elevation for the four baselines from Mr. Bardakjians levels
are:
| KEATON-WOODPORT |
-12.792 FT. |
(-3.899M) |
| LIBRARY-HPGN 03 DG |
-13.774 FT. |
(-4.198M) |
| LIBRARY-CHURCH |
-13.785 FT. |
(-4.202M) |
| FERRY-P 1031 |
6.070FT. |
(+1.850M) |
The results
of the National Geodetic Survey adjustment of the Yolo County
GPS Subsidence Project ( received April 27, 2000) provided the
following elevations for the stations included above (GPS-derived
elevations are only published to the nearest centimeter):
| CHURCH |
24.13M |
| FERRY |
12.12M |
| HPGN
03 DG |
24.13M |
| KEATON |
35.84M |
| LIBRARY |
19.93M |
| P 1031 |
10.26M |
| WOODPORT |
39.75M |
Using the
NGS GPS-derived elevations the baseline differences are:

The comparison
between the GPS-derived elevation differences and the terrestrial
(digital) leveling differences agrees to within about one centimeter
or better.
