Present-day surface deformationof the Alpine Region inferred from geodetic techniques Laura Sánchez, Christof Völksen, Alexandr Sokolov, Herbert Arenz, and Florian Seitz Earth Syst. Sci. Data Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/essd-2018-19,2018 Manuscript under review for ESSD (discussion: open, 0 comments) We provide a surface-kinematics model for the Alpine region based on a high-level data analysis of 300 geodetic stations continuously operating over 12.4 years. This model includes a deformation model, a continuous velocity field, and a strain field consistently assessed for the entire Alpine mountain belt. Horizontal and vertical motions patterns are clearly identified and supported by uncertainties less than ±0.2 mm/a and ±0.3 mm/a in the horizontal and vertical components, respectively.
