The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), managed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), is a coordinate system that includes latitude, longitude, elevation, and other values. The NSRS consists of a National Shoreline, the National CORS (a system of Global Positioning System Continuously Operating Reference Stations), a network of permanently marked points, and a set of models that describe dynamic geophysical processes affecting spatial measurements.
In 2022, the NSRS will be modernized and use the following four frames of reference:
North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022)Pacific Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (PTRF2022)Caribbean Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (CTRF2022)Mariana Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (MTRF2022) referenceEver curious about what that abbreviation stands for? fullforms has got them all listed out for you to explore.
