The '''International Terrestrial Reference System''' ('''ITRS''') describes procedures for creating [[frame of reference|reference frame]]s suitable for use with measurements on or near the Earth's surface. This is done in much the same way that a [[Standard (metrology)|physical standard]] might be described as a set of procedures for creating a ''realization'' of that standard. The ITRS defines a [[Geocentric coordinate system|geocentric]] system of coordinates using the [[SI]] system of measurement.
An '''International Terrestrial Reference Frame''' ('''ITRF''') is a realization of the ITRS. Its origin is at the center of mass of the whole earth including the oceans and atmosphere. New ITRF solutions are produced every few years, using the latest mathematical and surveying techniques to attempt to realize the ITRS as precisely as possible. Due to [[experimental error]], any given ITRF will differ very slightly from any other realization of the ITRF. The difference between the latest as of 2006 [[World Geodetic System|WGS 84]] (frame realisation G1150) and the latest ITRF2000 is only a few centimeters and RMS difference of one centimeter per component.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://clynchg3c.com/Technote/geodesy/coorddef.pdf|first=James R. |last=Clynch |title=Earth coordinates |date=February 2006 |website=GPS Geodesy and Geophysics |publisher=James R. Clynch |access-date=24 March 2016}}</ref>
The ITRS and ITRF solutions are maintained by the [[International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service]] ([[IERS]]). Practical navigation systems are in general referenced to a specific ITRF solution, or to their own coordinate systems which are then referenced to an ITRF solution.

This version introduces extra parameters to describe the year-periodic motion of the stations: {{mvar|A}} (amplitude) and {{mvar|φ}} (phase) per-axis. This sort of seasonal variation has an amplitude of around 1 cm and is attributed to non-tidal loading effects (e.g. the shifting weight of water).

The GPS reference epoch was moved from 2000.0 to 2001.0 in G1150 due to the magnitude 7.9 Denali Fault earthquake in Alaska in November 2002. Still in 2022 ITRF2020 was released, yet GPS was only using G2139 in its antennas, which was aligned to ITRF2014 (IGb14) (though at epoch 2016.0, not reference epoch 2010.0).<ref name="NOAA2020">{{cite web |last1=US Department of Commerce |first1=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration |title=Transitioning from IGS14 to IGb14 - National Geodetic Survey |url=https://geodesy.noaa.gov/CORS/news/igb14/transitioning_to_igb14.shtml |website=geodesy.noaa.gov |access-date=28 June 2022 |language=EN-US}}</ref> On 7 January 2024 move to IGS20 happened, so WGS 84 is now aligned with ITRF2020, including PSD (post-seismic deformation), also called G2296.
On the other hand GLONASS is using PZ-90.11, which is close to ITRF2008 at epoch 2011.0 and is using 2010.0 epoch (that means when you use reference transformation to PZ-90.11 you will get January 2010 date).
