Colleagues,<br>
<br>
We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the Fall AGU
meeting that might of interest, and to which we encourage you to submit an
abstract by the 2<sup>nd</sup> September deadline:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Description: Geodetic techniques can offer
observations of <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>atmospheric water vapour at various temporal and spatial
scales, often complementary to traditional meteorological observations. We
solicit contributions that use, for example, GNSS, GPS Occultation, VLBI or
SLR. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Technique validation or inter-technique comparisons (e.g.
against other satellite instruments or radiosonde) are of interest. Also
encouraged are papers focussing on the troposphere as a contributor to the
error budget of geodetic observations, or on variations in the structure of the
Earth's atmosphere. Further suggestions include assesment of the utility of
GNSS measurements as input to numerical weather models, or as climate datasets
in their own right.<o:p></o:p></p>
