************************************************************************ IERS Message No. 255 July 28, 2014 ************************************************************************ Earth Rotation Session at AGU Fall Meeting 2014 Dear Colleagues - As part of the 2014 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in San Francisco, California during 15-19 December 2014 there will be a session on "Earth Rotation Variations: Theories, Models and Observations". The description of the session is given below. On behalf if 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 the variations. I hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2014 Fall Meeting can be obtained from its web site at . Please note that abstracts must be submitted to AGU by August 6, 2014. Hope to see you in San Francisco! Best regards, Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Session ID# 2590: Earth Rotation Variations: Theories, Models and Observations 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. These improved theories, models, and observations of the Earth's rotation allow greater understanding if the many processes causing the Earth's rotation to vary. This session will be a forum for discussing the improved theories, models, and observations of Earth rotation variations.
