The description of the session is given below. On behalf of the conveners I would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage you to participate in it. We are developing a rich session that will cover all aspects of the Earth´s rotation including its excitation and the acquisition, reduction, combination, and prediction of the EOPs. We hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2009 Fall Meeting of the AGU can be obtained from its web site at Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 03 September 2009. Hope to see you in San Francisco! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G16: The Estimation, Prediction, and Excitation of Earth Orientation Variations Given current capabilities in space-geodesy, observations of Earth Orientation (that is precession/nutation, rotation, and polar motion) are being made with higher temporal resolution and with greater accuracy than before, allowing smaller scale fluctuations to be detected with finer resolution than was possible before. Such fluctuations are the rotational response of the Earth to forcing by geophysical fluids, and so information about the excitation of Earth orientation by the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, hydrosphere and core-mantle interactions is sought here. Relevant geophysical observations may be both in-situ and remotely sensed, and are often combined through sophisticated models and data assimilation schemes. In this session, we wish to focus on Earth orientation, its excitation, estimation and prediction. Recent advances in geodetic observational techniques, Earth orientation predictive capability, and the use of Earth orientation parameters to transform between the Celestial and Terrestrial Reference frames is welcome in this session.
