IDS Workshop, Venice, Italy, 25-26 September 2012

The International DORIS Service (IDS) workshop was held on September 25-26, 2012 in Venice-Lido, Italy. The purpose of this workshop was to review the progress in the DORIS technique and provides perspectives for the contributions of DORIS to the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). The IDS workshop was organized in conjunction with:

• The exceptional symposium on "20 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry", 23-29 September 2012
• The Ocean Surface Topography Science Team meeting (OSTST), 26-28 September 2012
• The 4th Argo Science workshop, 26-29 September 2012.

The posters of the OSTST meeting are available on AVISO web site

Participants to the workshop included five IDS Analysis Centers (of 8 total), IDS Combination Center representatives, many people involved in the DORIS system management, and other scientific groups interested in the DORIS data/products. We were pleased to welcome some new users and potential partners with promising results and perspectives. The discussions identified possible improvements of IDS solutions in line with the DORIS system, and important actions for preparing the IDS submission for inclusion in the next ITRF realization (ITRF2013).  

Main topics discussed included the following:

1- Since DGXX and DORIS data are now available in RINEX format, there is an increased interest in the DORIS data to study the ionosphere;

2- An onboard DORIS receiver (DIRGO) is under consideration at the ARL / University of Texas (USA) to observe the ionosphere;

3- Discussions are underway between NASA participants and CNES & abbr data-tipconent="<p>Institut National de l'Information Géographique et Forestière, France</p>" " " " " " ">"GN to conduct studies on DORIS/VLBI2010 signal interference at Greenbelt/GGAO site;

4- Progress in the estimation of the EOP parameters has been achieved with DORIS, thanks to the contribution of the new receiver DGXX (on board Jason2, Cryosat2, HY2A);

5- Calibration of DORIS / STAREC antennas in anachoeic chambers suggests the need to apply a STAREC antenna phase center model that may have possible impact on future IDS solutions;

6- IDS Analysis Centers are actively preparing their contribution for the next ITRF (2013) realization.

The IDS event was also a platform for discussion and coordination of future activities within the Analysis Working and Governing Board meetings.
