Abstract

We present the design and positioning results of four cost-effective Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) units deployed on Saba, Caribbean Netherlands. Despite harsh environmental conditions and initial prototyping challenges the units function well. Each unit costs less than €1.000 and integrates solar charging capabilities, data logging and data transmission via the introduced 4G extension. The positioning performance of the cost-effective units is comparable to those of conventional permanent GNSS stations on the island, with standard deviations in the horizontal and vertical components within 2–4 mm and 6–9 mm, respectively. The cost-effective units can be used to expand existing GNSS monitoring networks or to build stand-alone networks in budget-constrained environments. Their rapid deployment solution makes them suitable for hazardous applications. Future improvements to the current Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, implementing the presented changes, are anticipated. The schematics of the PCBs, material lists, and software are made available to the community.

具有成本效益的全球导航卫星系统作为监测火山变形的工具：以小安的列斯群岛萨巴岛为例研究

我们介绍了部署在荷兰加勒比海萨巴岛的四个具有成本效益的全球导航卫星系统（GNSS）单元的设计和定位结果。尽管恶劣的环境条件和最初的原型挑战，单位功能良好。每台设备的成本不到1000欧元，集成了太阳能充电功能、数据记录和通过引入的4G扩展传输数据。性价比高的单元定位性能与传统的全岛永久GNSS站相当，水平分量和垂直分量的标准差分别在2-4 mm和6-9 mm以内。具有成本效益的装置可用于扩大现有的GNSS监测网络或在预算有限的环境中建立独立的网络。它们的快速部署解决方案使其适用于危险应用。未来的改进，目前的印刷电路板（PCB）设计，实施所提出的变化，是预期的。多氯联苯的原理图、材料清单和软件可供社区使用。

期刊介绍： An international research journal with focus on volcanic and geothermal processes and their impact on the environment and society. Submission of papers covering the following aspects of volcanology and geothermal research are encouraged: (1) Geological aspects of volcanic systems: volcano stratigraphy, structure and tectonic influence; eruptive history; evolution of volcanic landforms; eruption style and progress; dispersal patterns of lava and ash; analysis of real-time eruption observations. (2) Geochemical and petrological aspects of volcanic rocks: magma genesis and evolution; crystallization; volatile compositions, solubility, and degassing; volcanic petrography and textural analysis. (3) Hydrology, geochemistry and measurement of volcanic and hydrothermal fluids: volcanic gas emissions; fumaroles and springs; crater lakes; hydrothermal mineralization. (4) Geophysical aspects of volcanic systems: physical properties of volcanic rocks and magmas; heat flow studies; volcano seismology, geodesy and remote sensing. (5) Computational modeling and experimental simulation of magmatic and hydrothermal processes: eruption dynamics; magma transport and storage; plume dynamics and ash dispersal; lava flow dynamics; hydrothermal fluid flow; thermodynamics of aqueous fluids and melts. (6) Volcano hazard and risk research: hazard zonation methodology, development of forecasting tools; assessment techniques for vulnerability and impact.
