Abstract:Using campaign-mode GPS data of 6 periods from Crustal Movement Observation Network of China surveyed in 1999-2011 and data of 2 periods from Continental Tectonic Environment Monitoring Network of China surveyed in 2009-2011 we derive the movement rates of these stations. Both horizontal and vertical velocity fields in the Chinese mainland have been calculated with BERNESE GPS software. Preliminary results of the vertical velocity field demonstrate that the general trend of Tibetan Plateau is up with low rates.
