G013. Reference Frames: Determination, Usage, and Application

The quantification of many geophysical phenomena, e.g. sea

level variation, co-and post-seismic deformation, glacial

isostatic adjustment, loading effects, but also precise orbit

determination of artificial satellites, rely on the

availability of a global terrestrial reference frame, such as

the ITRF. The session solicits contributions from scientists

determining or using global reference frames for their

applications, focusing on error budgets and other limiting

factors. Papers from analysts of space geodetic techniques

(VLBI, SLR, GNSS, DORIS) and their combination on their

contribution to or evaluation of ITRF2020, are most welcome.

Papers on the exploitation of previous ITRF solutions and the

new ITRF2020 realizations are also encouraged.
