Description:

The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is modernizing the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). As part of that modernization, NGS will define four terrestrial reference frames (TRFs) which will be mathematically defined relative to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2020, ITRF2020 (NGS, 2020). Those four frames are NATRF2022, PATRF2022, CATRF2022 and MATRF2022 (named for the North American, Pacific, Caribbean and Mariana plates, respectively).
