GNSS and levelling data to detect ground deformation along the Upper Adriatic Sea coastal area (Italy)

This geodetic dataset includes both Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and levelling data. GNSS measurements were recorded by continuous stations managed by public institutions and private companies, while levelling measurements were obtained by the use of benchmarks managed by ENI S.p.A.  

This dataset is used in the manuscript entitled "Multi-technique geodetic detection of onshore and offshore subsidence along the Upper Adriatic Sea coasts" to estimate deformation around the littoral area of Ravenna (Italy) (Polcari et al., 2022). The GNSS data, from permanent stations RAVE, PCTA, FIUN and ANGA covers the period from around 1998 to 2018. The files in .csv format contain displacement time series with respect to the Adria-fixed reference frame and for PCTA, FIUN and ANGA also with respect to RAVE GNSS station.

The levelling data refer to campaigns that took place in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2017.  The file named Original.csv contains the original height measurements for each benchmark, while the file named Ref.RAVE.csv contains the mean velocity and the displacement calculated for all 147 benchmarks. In this last file the data were scaled with respect to the mean velocity of the benchmark located near the RAVE station.
