Sorry, but I can on= ly accept cash. I must finalize the numbers for the meeting. If you are interested in part= icipating and/or contributing a presentation or paper, please let me know a= s soon as possible. The meeting will focus on assessing the errors in current environmental mod= els and proposals for overcoming these limitations for use in geodetic and = geophysical data analysis. The following are the confirmed Invited speakers to date: Maik Thomas On the challenges of developing a mass conserving system model Minkang Cheng Degree 2 and geocenter variation from SLR Xavier Collileux Call for space geodetic solutions corrected for non-tidal atmospheric loadi= ng at the observation level Thomas Hobiger How to deal with coordinate systems in numerical weather models? - Goals = of the newly formed IAG SSG12 Jim Ray Consistency of crustal loading signals derived from models & GPS: Inference= s for GPS positioning errors Wei Chen Evaluations of global geophysical fluid models based on broad-band geodetic= excitations Haoming Yan Global mass balance effects on length-of-day change Richard Gross The GGFC Special Bureau for the Oceans: Providing Ocean Products for Geodesy Brian Luzum Global Geophysical Fluids: an IERS RS/PC Perspective The final program will be distributed one week before the meeting. **************************************** Dr. Tonie M. van Dam Assistant Professor Facult=E9 des Sciences, de la Technologie et de la Communication University of Luxembourg 6, rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg Phone: (+352) 46 66 44 6261 Fax:(+352) 46 66 44 5643 e-mail: tonie.vandam@uni.lu Please do not reply directly to this message, but send comments and suggestions to IDS.central.bureau@cls.fr
