Open Access GNSS Data for Studies of the Lithosphere.

Various types of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data are used for a wide range of applications. When modeled correctly, millimeter precision daily GNSS position time‐series yield velocities and other derived products that can be used for investigations of lithospheric processes and properties. In this review paper, we describe the specific types of GNSS data and data products that are valuable for studies of the lithosphere, such as coseismic offsets, post‐seismic decay in time‐series, seasonal signals, secular velocities, and strain rates, and how those data are derived. We also discuss the applications of several types of GNSS data and data products. We provide open access resources for precision GNSS daily position time‐series, quality secular velocity solutions, and daily GNSS RINEX files for researchers interested in processing their own data. Plain Language Summary: Measurements of how the surface of the Earth moves can be made with millimeter precision using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. Several different types of GNSS‐derived data can be used to study the relatively rigid outer layers of the Earth known as the lithosphere. In this review paper, we detail how GNSS data that are relevant for lithospheric studies are determined, including what corrections and errors must be considered. We describe several applications of certain GNSS data, such as quantifying tectonic plate motions. At the end of the paper, we provide numerous open access resources for GNSS data and data products that are valuable for studies of the Earth's lithosphere. Key Points: Describe various types of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and their uses for studying the lithosphereReview of the treatment of GNSS data required for lithospheric studiesProvide information about numerous open access GNSS data resources [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
