Dear All
Colleagues

 

I would draw your
attention and welcome to submit your abstracts to following session at IUGG2015, June 22-July 2, Prague, Czech. The abstract
submission deadline is Jan. 31, 2015.

 
Session G03 Variations of the
Gravity Field 

Convener: Srinivas Bettadpur (Austin,
USA) 

Co-conveners: Frank Flechtner (Potsdam,
Germany), Shuanggen Jin (Shanghai, China), Paul Tregoning (Canberra, Australia)

Description:

The Earth science community has enjoyed more
than a decade of new insights into the Earth system through the geodetic
remote-sensing of time-variations of Earth gravity field from the joint
US/German GRACE mission. Even further gains are anticipated with the planned
2017 launch of the US/German GRACE Follow-On mission, as well as the other next
generation gravity missions envisaged in the post-2020 time-frame. At the same
time, there is renewed interest in the geodetic re-analysis of satellite laser
ranging and GNSS tracking of low-Earth orbiter (LEO) satellites as a means of
extended data records into the past, or for bridging between dedicated gravity
missions. Complementary outcomes from geophysical modeling, and terrestrial
positioning/loading and gravimetry are deployed to help interpret,
disaggregate, or validate time-variable gravity measurements. On the
applications front, the geodesy community is examining the use of historical
and low-latency satellite gravity data sets for both research as well as operational
applications. This session invites contributions reporting on the state of the
art pertinent to the full range of this subject. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to: new results from the studies of time-variable Earth
gravity time-series; developments in the methods of global and regional
satellite gravity data analysis; use of complementary geodetic methods for data
collection and analysis of time-variable gravity field; development of
applications and technologies for current and future gravity missions;
innovations in algorithms, computation, and analysis; and other related
subjects.
