Continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinate time series might be exposed to tectonic and non-tectonic transient signals as well as the persistent signals such as secular rates and seasonal motions. Transient signal detection becomes challenging when the targeted signal is weak and buried in the noise. Incoherency of the transient signal in space and large number of sites in the GPS network make the detection even more complicated. We propose a new approach based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in this study to detect tectonically-driven transient signals. Thanks to the adaptive nature of EMD, we did not make any a priori assumptions about the type of the colored noise present in the time series, and suppressed the white noise by means of the filtering properties of the EMD method. We utilized PCA to recognize the coherent but localized transient signals in space. The main geographic area of interest is Turkey. We focused on analyzing the data collected in CORS-TR network, which is a real-time kinematic type permanent network in Turkey, and making the time series employable in tectonic monitoring. We demonstrated the existence of Common Mode Error (CME) at CORS-TR sites and reduced it for further investigations. We proved the capability of our method by successfully detecting the slow slip events in Cascadia, the transient inflation at Akutan volcano, Alaska, and the postseismic deformation following the October 23, 2011 Van earthquake, Turkey.

GPS-Based Real-Time Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites Using Robust Unscented Kalman Filter
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Erdogan, Eren; Pamuk, Onur (2017-11-01)
In this research, a novel algorithm for real-time orbit determination (RTOD) is presented using the robust unscented Kalman filter (RUKF) with global positioning system (GPS) group and phase ionospheric correction (GRAPHIC) observables. To increase the reliability of the solution, a robust approach is included in the UKF to cope with the bad, invalid, or degraded measurements leading to the divergence or inaccurate output of the filter. Robustness is provided by making the filter less sensitive to faulty me...
Spatio-temporal Characteristics of Point and Field Sources in Wireless Sensor Networks
Vuran, Mehmet C.; Akan, Ozgur B. (2006-06-15)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are comprised of densely deployed sensor nodes collaboratively observing and communicating extracted information about a physical phenomenon. Dense deployment of sensor nodes makes the sensor observations highly correlated in the space domain. In addition, consecutive samples obtained by a sensor node are also temporally correlated for the applications involving the observation of the variation of a physical phenomenon. Based on the physical characteristics and dispersion patt...
NUMERICAL STABILITY OF RBF APPROXIMATION FOR UNSTEADY MHD FLOW EQUATIONS
Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2019-01-01)
In this study, the radial basis function (RBF) approximation is applied for solving the unsteady fluid flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection flow problems with the use of explicit Euler time discretization and relaxation parameters to accelerate the convergence. The stability analysis is also carried out in terms of the spectral radius of related RBF discretized coefficient matrices. The optimal choices of the time increment, relaxation parameters and physical problem parameters are found for achiev...
Periodic solution for state-dependent impulsive shunting inhibitory CNNs with time-varying delays
Sayli, Mustafa; YILMAZ, ENES (2015-08-01)
In this paper, we consider existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution for state-dependent impulsive shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. By means of B-equivalence method, we reduce these state-dependent impulsive neural networks system to an equivalent fix time impulsive neural networks system. Further, by using Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincide degree theory and employing a suitable Lyapunov function some new sufficient conditions for existence...
Non-parametric regional VTEC modeling with Multivariate Adaptive Regression B-Splines
Durmaz, Murat; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01)
In this work Multivariate Adaptive Regression B-Splines (BMARS) is applied to regional spatio-temporal mapping of the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) using ground based Global Positioning System (GPS) observations. BMARS is a non-parametric regression technique that utilizes compactly supported tensor product B-splines as basis functions, which are automatically obtained from the observations. The algorithm uses a scale-by-scale model building strategy that searches for B-splines at each scale fittin...
