2 1. Introduction This electronic supplement contains three tables and five figures. They are provided in one PDF file that can be downloaded and off line printed and read. The paper presents the application to the Emilia (Italy) earthquake (Mw=6.1, May 20, 2012, 02:03:51 UTC) of VADASE algorithm, able to estimate coseismic displacements and waveforms both in real-time and off-line, in a global reference frame, just using the standard broadcast products and carrier phase observations continuously collected by a stand-alone GNSS receiver. VADASE has been used off-line, since no real-time data were available, and its solutions have been compared with those coming from four well known scientific software used as reference: TRACK, Bernese, APP-PPP and CSRS-PPP. We collected 1 Hz data at seven GPS permanent stations and, at first, we estimated the coseismic displacements and waveforms through the ionospheric-free combination L3 over an interval of 2 minutes. Then, we repeated the computation just using L1, since VADASE is also able to work with single frequency data only. Overall, in both cases, the agreement between VADASE and the reference software were assessed at 1-2 cm level, slightly worse for the L1 solutions, being the agreement among the four reference software at 0.5-1.5 cm level. The results are discussed in the full paper that has been published on SRL journal and can be downloaded from SRL website. All the tables and the figures of this electronic supplement report analytical statistics and detailed graphics that support the results and the conclusions of the paper. As the tables are concerned, the paper contains the synthetic main statistics of the different solutions. Table S1 and S2 of this electronic supplement provide more detailed statistics of the individual solutions: in particular they compare statistical indexes for VADASE, APP, CSRS, Bernese and TRACK
3 software solutions, in the pre-event and during the event for all the stations. Table S3 compares the results of the different software in a particular processing (data sampling at 30 seconds) of MO05 station, that is the only one that experienced a significant displacement after the event. As the figures are concerned, the paper contains the time series of the coordinates solutions only for two (the most significant) stations. In the electronic supplement, figures from S1 to S5 report the time series of the solutions for all the other stations.
