“…studies were excluded when the velocity field was entirely based on publicly available data from (semi-) CGPS stations already analyzed for the core solution. Some examples since 2004 are: [Niemi et al, 2004;Prawirodirdjo and Bock, 2004;Wdowinski et al, 2004;D'Agostino and Selvaggi, 2004;Hill and Blewitt, 2006;Walpersdorf et al, 2006a;Calais et al, 2006b;Fernandes et al, 2007;Kogan and Steblov, 2008;Teferle et al, 2009;Bechtold et al, 2009;Argus et al, 2010;Kreemer et al, 2010aKreemer et al, , 2010bLe Pichon and Kreemer, 2010;Hammond et al, 2011;Asensio et al, 2012;Nocquet, 2012;ten Brink and L opez-Venegas, 2012;Berglund et al, 2012;Malservisi et al, 2013;de Lis Mancilla et al, 2013;Ganas et al, 2013]; Those studies all provided valuable data and interpretations, but we analyze the same stations, with typically (much) longer time series than available in those original studies.…”
