****************************************************************************** DORIS Electronic Mail Fri Aug 6 5:42:28 WETDST 1999 Message Number 0079 ****************************************************************************** Author: J. Ries and R. King Subject: Geodetic Observations session at Fall AGU Meeting Subject: Geodetic Observations session at Fall AGU Meeting You are encouraged to consider submitting a paper for the special Geodesy session G04 "Geodetic Measurement and Analysis Techniques" to be held during during the Fall 1999 AGU Meeting. This session will focus on the development and impact of improved techniques for the analysis of geodetic observations, with special emphasis on models and approaches common to several space-geodetic systems: atmospheric gradients, crustal loading by oceanic and atmospheric tides, motion of the geocenter, perturbing forces on low- and high-altitude satellites, data aggregation, and reference frames. We also solicit contributions on current topics specific to individual techniques, such as antenna models and the effects of solar maximum on GPS observations. The Fall Meeting will be held in San Francisco, California, 13-17 December 1999. For information about the meeting and submission of abstracts, please refer to http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm99top.html. Note that abstracts MUST be received at AGU headquarters by Thursday, 02 September 1999 if submitted by express/postal mail or by e-mail or by Thursday, 09 September 1999 if submitted using the AGU interactive WWW form. convenors: R.
