This dataset contains the raw data of the GPS and hydraulic head measurement utilized in North China Plain research. ## Included files The `gps_cmonoc.dat` file contains the horizontal and vertical velocities of the 35 continuous GPS stations from the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) project. The `gps_bjcors.dat` file contains the horizontal and vertical velocities of the 14 continuous GPS stations from the Beijing Continuously Operating Reference Station (BJCORS) network. The `gps_campaign.dat` file contains the horizontal and vertical velocities of the 432 campaign GPS stations from the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) project. The `hydraulic_datacenter.xlsx` file contains the 559 measurements from confined well accessed from the National Earth System Science Data Center, National Science & Technology Infrastructure of China (http://www.geodata.cn), recording during 2005-2018. The `hydraulic_yearbook.xlsx` file contains the 130 measurements from both confined and unconfined well compiled from the yearbook 'the China Groundwater Level Yearbook for Geo-environmental Monitoring', recoding during 2005-2016.
