CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,

As convenors of session G9
”Geophysical models for the analysis of space-geodetic
techniques”
of the European Geosciences Union´s General Assembly 2008,
in Vienna, Austria, from April 13 to April 18, 2008
we invite you to submit abstracts for presentations.


Description of geophysical processes through global data
sets or assimilated models plays an important role in the
analysis of space geodetic observations: through ”forward
modelling” we reach closer to the ´linear´ region of a
highly complex and non-linear problem. Space geodesy can
then improve our current understanding by incrementally
correcting this modelling based on our observations. With
an ever-increasing precision of the individual techniques,
these models or data sets need to keep in pace in order to
achieve the best results, with improved spatial and
temporal resolution, and improved accuracy. In this
session we solicit contributions from the groups that
provide these models or data sets to describe their
content, accuracy and terms of use, as well as from the
analysts who require their use and need a forum to discuss
and specify their needs and concerns for their
applications. The gamut of the models and data sets to be
discussed in this session focuses primarily on the
description of temporal redistribution of mass in Earth´s
fluid envelope, including but not limited to gravity,
tides, and loading effects. Other topics that do not fall
under this category but are equally welcome in the session
are for example signal propagation in the atmosphere,
Earth albedo, ocean circulation, and Earth rotation
modelling at various time scales. In all cases,
deterministic descriptions of the past as well as
near-future ´forecasts´ are of interest, with an eye on
the quality, routine timely availability and wide
accessibility for the latter. Comparisons and validations
of these models and data sets are highly sought for, to
help current and potential users understand their
strengths and weaknesses.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is January 14,
2008.

Yours sincerely,
Axel Nothnagel and Erricos Pavlis
Convenors of Session G9
