GPS Reference Stations

The National Survey and Cadastre has responsibility for Denmark’s eight GPS reference stations. These are distributed across the country (see map below) and serve a number of purposes:

  • To monitor changes in local and regional topography
  • To support geodetic and technical surveying
  • To reinforce positioning and navigation activities

One of these stations is operated in close partnership with the Danish Maritime Safety Administration (DaMSA). Another three are integrated in the European satellite network EUREF, which includes permanent GPS stations in more than 30 countries. Four of the stations are also a part of the Europe-wide sea level monitoring system ESEAS.
 
Prior to the establishment of the Danish National Space Center in 2005, the National Survey and Cadastre held responsibility for permanent GPS reference stations in both Denmark and Greenland. Since that time, the stations on Greenland have been integrated into the Space Center’s geodetic research. A close working relationship between the two organisations continues to flourish.
