The International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)

The International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) is a set of points with their 3-dimensional cartesian coordinates which realize an ideal reference system, the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS), as defined by the IUGG resolution No. 2 adopted in Vienna, 1991 ( IUGG1991 Resolutions (PDF, 105KB, Not barrier-free file.)).

The ITRS Combination Centres provide also alternative realizations of the ITRF.

Contents
  • cartesian stations coordinates and velocities
  • Earth Orientation Parameters (ITRF2008 only)
  • site catalogue
  • DOMES identification numbers (see "Documentation")
  • local ties (see "Documentation")
  • realizations: ITRF89, ITRF90, ITRF91, ITRF92, ITRF93, ITRF94, ITRF96, ITRF97, ITRF2000, ITRF2005, ITRF2008, ITRF2014, ITRF2020, ITRF2020-u2023, ITRF2020-u2024
AccuracyUncertainties are given in the solutions.
UpdatesFrom one to several years.
