Abstract
Investigations of deformation styles in Asia have already led to new kinematic models that predict the spatial and temporal evolution of deformations in the region. Testing these models is now within realm of current GPS technology. In this study, GPS data during 4 months from six stations in Asia, including a new station from Hong Kong whose data were not in public domain, were analyzed for generating kinematic geophysical constraints for the deformations at the regional scale. Processing of 4 months' continuous GPS data from all stations shows small relative station velocities (Wuhan, Shanghai, Xian, and Hong Kong stations in China), except the Lhasa station, which has a northeasterly velocity of about 3 cm/year with respect to the fixed GPS station operating in Taiwan. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
