************************************************************************ IERS Message No. 168 July 29, 2010 ************************************************************************ Special session of the 2010 AGU Fall Meeting Dear colleagues, We draw your attention to this special session of the 2010 AGU Fall Meeting: G07: Estimating the Accuracy of Geodetic Measurements Conveners: M. Van Camp (Royal Observatory of Belgium), E. Calais (Purdue U.), J. Henton (Natural Resources Canada), O. de Viron (U. Denis Diderot & IPGP) Solicited talks: - Richard Gross (NASA-JPL) - Jim Ray (NOAA-National Geodetic Survey) - Paul Tregoning (Aaustralian National University) - Tim Wright (University of Leeds) Session description: Geodesy is always struggling to increase the measurement precision, but estimating what is the accuracy of the obtained numbers - and what this accuracy means exactly - is challenging. This can be done e.g. by analysing the space/time signature of the noise in a quiet area, or by comparing the data to (an)other determination(s)/model(s) of the same signal. Contributions are solicited, dealing with the estimation of the accuracy of an isolated value (for instance a single absolute gravity measurement at a given location), a time series or a spatial patterns, acquired by land based - or space - geodetic measurements (field gravimetry, levelling, GPS, SLR, VLBI, InSAR, altimetry or gravity missions as GRACE, GOCE, ...). Abstract submissions are scheduled to open on 21 July and close on 2 September. For more information visit the AGU website: http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/ We are looking forward to meeting you, M. Van Camp, E. Calais, J. Henton, O. de Viron ************************************************************************ IERS Messages are edited and distributed by the IERS Central Bureau.
