Pavlis Subject: IGFS2006 Meeting in Istanbul - Session 4 (New Global High-resolution Subject: IGFS2006 Meeting in Istanbul - Session 4 (New Global High-resolution Gravitational Models) Subject: IGFS2006 Meeting in Istanbul - Session 4 (New Global High-resolution Gravitational Models) Dear Colleague, We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 1st International Symposium of the International Gravity Field Service - ”Gravity Field of the Earth” that will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, August 28 - September 1, 2006. We would like to solicit contributions to Session 4: ”New Global High-resolution Gravitational Models”. A description of this Session is given below. Information about the meeting can be found in: http://www.igfs2006.org The deadline for Abstract submission is: March 31, 2006. Apart from the submission of your abstract through the web, you would greatly appreciate it if you could email a copy of your abstract to Steve Kenyon < KenyonS@nga.mil > . Please feel free to share this solicitation among your colleagues, and please accept our apologies for possible multiple receipts of this message. Best regards, Nikos Pavlis and Steve Kenyon ___________________________________________________________________________________ New global high-resolution gravitational models Global high-resolution gravitational models have demonstrated their usefulness in numerous geodetic, geophysical, and oceanographic investigations and applications. Their development relies on the optimal combination of the gravitational information contained within satellite and terrestrial data. With CHAMP and GRACE continuing to map the global gravitational field from space with unprecedented accuracy and resolution and with the upcoming launch of GOCE, the satellite component of these combined models is expected to provide long and medium wavelength gravitational information of unprecedented accuracy. In parallel, the availability of detailed terrestrial, airborne, and altimetry-derived gravity data provides the opportunity to develop global models of extremely high resolution. We solicit contributions that cover both theoretical and practical aspects of the development, use, evaluation, and error assessment associated with these global models. Welcome topics include, but are not limited to: ~U Theoretical and numerical aspects of model development, including representations that may be suitable alternatives to spherical or ellipsoidal harmonics (e.g., point masses, wavelets, etc.). ~U Procedures, data, and results associated with the independent testing and the evaluation of the performance of new global gravitational models. ~U Improvements in error assessment and error verification techniques and associated algorithms. ~U Planetary gravitational model developments. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Dr. Nikolaos K.
