| Subject: | [SLR-Mail] No.2178: Earth Rotation Session at Fall AGU | |
| Author: | Richard Gross | |
| Content: | Author: Richard Gross Dear Colleagues - As part of the 2013 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in San Francisco, California during 09-13 December 2013 I am happy to announce there will be a session on ”Earth Rotation Variations: Causes and Consequences”. 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 observing systems, theoretical developments, and advances in our understanding of the causes of its variations. We hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2013 Fall Meeting of the AGU can be obtained from its web site at Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 06 August 2013. Hope to see you in San Francisco! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G006: Earth Rotation Variations: Causes and Consequences Variations in the rotation of the solid Earth are caused by processes both external and internal to the solid Earth. The increasing accuracy of the observations of the Earth’s variable rotation provided by current and next generation measurement systems allow smaller amplitude signals to be observed, motivating improvements in both theories and models of the Earth’s rotation. The improved observations, theories, and models of the Earth’s rotation allow more accurate forecasts of the Earth’s rotation to be made, leading to more accurate tracking and navigation of Earth orbiting and interplanetary spacecraft. This session will be a forum for discussing the causes and consequences of variations in the Earth’s rotation.
