Crustal deformations in the Central Mediterranean derived from the WHAT A CAT 
GPS project
 
                   ABSTRACT
 
 
The West Hellenic Arc Tectonics And Calabrian Arc Tectonics (WHAT A
CAT) project aimes at monitoring
crustal deformations in the Central Mediterranean by repeated GPS campaigns. The
data set acquired so far is rather
heterogeneous in terms of availability of GPS satellites, performance of the
involved receiver systems and quality of the
satellites' orbits. The paper presents the velocity estimates achieved using a
modified version of the Bernese GPS
software. Main characteristic of the solution strategy is the definition of
station velocity parameters already on the
observation equation level.
