Measurements Of Slope Distances And Vertical Angles At Mount Baker And Mount Rainier Washington Mount Hood And Crater Lake Oregon And

Personnel of the U. S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory established trilateration networks at Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, Crater Lake, Mount Shasta, and Lassen Peak in 1980-1984. These networks are capable of detecting changes in slope distance of several centimeters or more. The networks were established to provide baseline information on potentially active volcanoes and were designed along guidelines found useful at Mount St. Helens. Periodic reoccupation of the networks is planned as part of the overall monitoring program of Cascades volcanoes. Methodology, slope distance and vertical angle data, maps of the networks, and benchmark descriptions are presented in this report. Written benchmark descriptions are augmented by photographs, which we have found by experience to very useful in relocating the marks. All repeat measurements at the six volcanoes are probably within measurement error. | Measurements Of Slope Distances And Vertical Angles At Mount Baker And Mount Rainier Washington Mount Hood And Crater Lake Oregon And
