The Mississippi Height Modernization program provides accurate height information by integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with existing survey techniques. This project establishes and monitors Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) throughout Mississippi.
In 2005, an initial CORS network was implemented in southern Mississippi and plans were outlined to establish current, valid elevation on a set of monumented points connecting Louisiana with Pensacola, Florida. Presently, over 20 CORS have been placed and we are in the process of installing additional stations.
