The GPS coseismic data base of the April 6, 2009, Mw 6.3, L'Aquila earthquake

This geodetic data base contains the coseismic GPS data collected at five 3-D benchmarks of the Central Apennine Geodetic Network (CAGeoNet). Data are in the time span of four days before and one day after the main shock.
Data allowed the measure of the near field coseismic ground deformations and to model the fault responsible of the April 6, 2009 (01:32:39 GMT), Mw 6.3 L'Aquila earthquake (central Italy).
