From George Fri Oct 29 19:05:02 1993 From: George (George) Date: 29 OCT 1993 19:05:02 Subject: [IGSMAIL-363] IERS Technical Note Message-ID: IGS Electronic Mail 29-OCT-1993 19:05:02 Message Number 363 *********************************************************************** From: J. O. Dickey/JPL Subj: IERS Technical Note -------------------------- SECOND MAILING October 25, 1993 Your Response Please July 20, 1993 Dear Colleague: The Directing Board of the International Earth Rotation Series (IERS) has requested an IERS Technical Note, focusing on the SEARCHU92 Campaign. This effort, coordinated by the IERS and held in conjunction with the International GPS Service (IGS) Campaign (June 21-September 22, 1992), investigated high time resolution (sub-daily) measurements of Earth rotation obtained from all of the space geodetic techniques in concert with the best available complementary geophysical, atmospheric and oceanographic data. You are probably already familiar with the IERS Technical Note Series; examples include the IERS Standards and the Annexes to the IERS Annual Report. We visualize the technical note consisting of three parts: 1) Introduction Here an overview of the campaign would be presented including motivation, organization and initial results. 2) Data Section This section would consist of articles very much like the annual report. The measurements and the analysis techniques should be described in some detail. The actual numbers would be available upon request through IERS Central Bureau. Graphical displays of data would be desirable. 3) Scientific Results The section would include a list of relevant publications and reprints of scientific articles. We would not ask individuals to write articles especially for this note but ask to reproduce articles. For example, some of the articles from the Berne IGS meeting may be appropriate. Abstracts from special sessions at scientific meetings (for example, AGU and EGS meetings) could be included. We are looking forward to your participation in this matter. The deadline for submission would be December 1, 1993. The camera-ready copy should be submitted to J. Dickey and the Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) should be electronically transferred to the IERS Central Bureau. Instructions for camera-ready copy which is the standard Kleuwer Format, are available upon request. EOP files transfer instructions are attached. Please return the enclosed questionnaire to aid us in planning. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Dr. Jean O.

O. Dickey Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Mail Stop 238-332 4800 Oak Grove Drive Pasadena, CA 91109 or Reply via: FAX: (818) 393-6890 PHONE: (818) 354-3235 E-MAIL: JOD at LOGOS.JPL.NASA.GOV Transmittal to the IERS Central Bureau The instructions for transmitting Earth rotation results to the IERS Central Bureau are extracted from the usual Annual Report ones. Please refer to the "format.dat" file under anonymous ftp: ftp 130.84.200.6 (or: ftp mesiom.obspm.circe.fr) with login: anonymous and password: name/organization/country Only the Earth rotation files are expected. It is not mandatory to provide the reference frames files, unless the authors wish to. The reference systems, models and constants used should be described in the camera-ready text. To insure clear cross reference between the text and the results file, authors are invited to ascribe IERS lables to their EOP results [EOP(......).. x ..], following the constructing rules listed in the 1992 IERS Annual Report (to be mailed end of July 1993), p. V-3. The institutes which already contribute results to IERS should take into account the existing labels, as listed pp. V-4 through V-7. The results are to be e-mailed to iers at iap.fr by 1993 November 1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
