****************************************************************************** DORISMail 08-Jan-2002 15:00:30 Message No 0157 ****************************************************************************** Author: Laurent Soudarin Subject: EGS : deadline JANUARY 11, 2002 Dear Colleagues, this is as a reminder that the deadline for submission of abstracts for EGS 2002 is JANUARY 11, 2002. The meeting will take place in Nice, France, April 21-26, 2002. Several sessions are of particular interest for contributions dealing with DORIS developments, performances and applications (see DORIS mails 152 and 153). Like last year, there is one session dedicated to microwave techniques and DORIS (see below). We depend on your contribution for DORIS to be known still more largely. IDS Central Bureau PS: All necessary information may be found at http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/egsga/nice02/nice02.htm -------------------------------------------------- Session G9.03: "Evolving space geodesy techniques: GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO,DORIS and other microwave techniques" Satellite systems based on microwave signals like GPS, GLONASS and DORIS (supplemented by GALILEO in the future) play a major role in space geodesy. Nowadays these systems allow for the uncomplicated densification of the earth-fixed reference frame (ITRF) and support a still rapidly growing number of geodynamic applications. In this session we would like to focus on new developments and improvements concerning the analysis as well as the technical aspects of all these microwave satellite techniques. We solicit contributions to this session dealing with recent progress made in orbit determination (including low Earth orbiting satellites), atmospheric modelling, positioning, and the mitigation of common and individual error sources. We also would like to focus on the quality and reliabilty of permanent station coordinate time series as an important source for subsequent geophysical interpretation. Studies of the impact of GALILEO, as an upcoming additional microwave satellite technique, on the determination of regional and global geodetic parameters are very welcome, too.
