Subject: Solicitation of Papers for DORIS Special Issue, Advances in Space


DORIS special  issue in the journal  “Advances in Space Research”
Scientific Applications of DORIS data in preparation of ITRF2013
==========================================

Papers are invited for a special issue in the journal “Advances in Space Research” 
     entitled " Scientific Applications of DORIS data in preparation of ITRF2013".  

We invite potential authors to contact the editors of the special issue (Frank.G.Lemoine@nasa.gov, E.J.O.Schrama@tudelft.nl) 
to signify their intent to submit, and provide a working title and list of authors as soon as possible. 
This will help with planning for the special issue and help to expedite the review of the submitted papers.

Many teams and analysis centers have been actively involved in the analysis of DORIS data for ITRF2013.  
We encourage these groups, many of whom have made significant advances in different aspects of their processing, 
to submit papers to this special issue.  We solicit papers that discuss the use of DORIS alone, or in combination with the other geodetic techniques 
(Satellite Laser Ranging, SLR; Global Navigation Satellite Systems, GNSS; Very Long baseline Interferometry, VLBI).  
 Papers that discuss  the applications of DORIS to precise orbit determination, geodetic positioning and Earth orientation parameter determination, 
in conjunction with or associated with ITRF2013 are also encouraged.

DORIS is fundamental to the precise orbit determination for a suite of altimetric and remote sensing satellites, 
including those involved with observations the measurement of the change in global mean sea level. 
We explicitly solicit papers that review precise orbit determination, or discussing POD modeling
improvements  for these satellites (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, Cryosat-2, Envisat, Saral, and HY-2A).

We welcome papers that discuss missions that would augment the DORIS constellation, or 
relate to space-based co-location of the geodetic techniques including DORIS, in view of improving the ITRF.   

Papers that discuss the applications of DORIS data for oceanography (as in applications related to mean sea level or the use of tide gauges), 
in atmospheric sciences, in ionosphere studies, and in geophysical applications global, 
regional or local), are also encouraged, in particular if these take advantage of new models or techniques of analysis. 
 
Papers must be submitted electronically through the Elsevier Electronic System (EES) Web site (http://ees.elsevier.com/asr) 
under the category "S.I. DORIS". All manuscripts will be submitted to a standard peer-reviewed process. 
Accepted manuscripts will be published in a Special Issue of Journal of Advances in Space Research (Elsevier, ISI Web of Science). 
Deadline for submission is November 7, 2014 (Friday). 


We encourage authors to contact the Guest Editors
 (Frank Lemoine, Frank.G.Lemoine@nasa.gov; 
Ernst J.O. Schrama, e.j.o.schrama@tudelft.nl) 
for any additional information. 
They will be kept regularly informed on the progress of the Special Issue until its expected publication in late 2015. 
Papers will be available on the ASR Web site with a DOI as soon as they are accepted.
