From rneilan at igs.org Mon Aug 2 09:56:54 2010 From: rneilan at igs.org (Ruth E Neilan) Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2010 09:56:54 -0700 Subject: [IGSMAIL-6214] FW: Fall AGU 2010 Meeting, Session G20, Systematic Errors in Space Geodetic Results In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <5FEEBA91-39DD-4AFA-AF78-11D04053F24D@igs.org> Author: Shailen Desai & Pascal Willis Dear Colleagues, We draw your attention to the following session at the December (Fall) 2010 AGU meeting in San Francisco. Session G20: Identification and Mitigation of Systematic Errors in Space Geodetic Results Description: Current space geodetic techniques, such as GPS, GLONASS, DORIS, SLR, and VLBI, are providing new geodetic results with unprecedented precision. This is enabling the identification of systematic errors that have previously gone undetected but which are impacting the interpretation of space geodetic results. This session aims to address the identification of these types of systematic errors (e.g. solar radiation pressure, atmospheric effects, antenna calibrations, timing), the impact that they have on geodetic observations (e.g. coordinates, reference frame, Earth orientation, precise orbit determination), and potential mitigation approaches (e.g. analytical or processing approach). Conveners: Shailen Desai Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA, USA. Pascal Willis Institut Geographique National Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris Paris, France Please note the following deadlines and dates for this meeting. Abstract Deadline: September 2, 2010. Fall AGU Meeting Date: December 13-17, 2010. We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco. Best Regards, Shailen Desai and Pascal Willis
