Site Identification of the GPS Monument Site Name : Whitehorse Four Character ID : WHIT Monument Inscription : 7787017 IERS DOMES Number : 40136M001 CDP Number : Date Installed : 07-JUN-1996 00:00 UT Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK Bedrock Type : METAMORPHIC Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED/GLACIATED Fracture Spacing : 100-200 cm Notes : Additional Information : operational 09-JUN-1995; : data also available for June - Sept. 1995; : : This station is part of the Western Canada : Deformation Array (WCDA) as well as the : Canadian Active Control System (CACS). : The following information is current as of : 26-NOV-97: : ******************************************* : The GPS reference mark consists of a brass : plate with a forced centred stainless steel : bolt. The brass plate is embedded on top of : a 1.5 metre high concrete pier, 40 cm in : diameter. The concrete pier is anchored to : exposed bedrock using steel re-enforcement : bars. The antenna is attached to the brass : forced centered plate via a 10 cm high : anodized aluminum base. This base : provides a constant height above the brass : plate and also permits the antenna to be : referenced to north. 2.
