Dear Colleague,
We would like to inform (or remind) you that the Symposium G10: "New
aspects of modelling and monitoring Earth rotation" will be held during the
25th General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society in Nice, France,
24 - 29 April 2000.
As the Conveners of this symposium we ask you to submit abstracts before
the deadline of 15 December 1999.
(Note that this deadline is durring the Fall AGU Meeting)
The topics of the Symposium G10 are summarized as follows:
Sub-symposium G10/01: Monitoring and analyses (H. Schuh, R. Gross)
In the last two decades a rapid progress in the observation of the Earth
orientation parameters has been made by the using modern space geodetic
techniques such as VLBI, SLR/LLR and GPS. There remains potential for
further improvements with respect to precision, time resolution and
measurement in near real-time. Furthermore, new observation techniques of
Earth rotation components are on the horizon, e.g. laser gyrometers, atom
interferometers and super fluid helium gyros. For the analyses of EOP time
series new methods have been applied successfully that allow a time
localization of irregular quasi-periodic fluctuations. The comparison with
time series of excitation functions (AAM, OAM, ...) is possible now in the
time and frequency domains. The Combination of the results obtained by
different observing techniques including time series of the historical
observations is becoming increasingly more important task. The
investigation and removal of systematic differences among the techniques is
necessary and the question of relative weights has to be solved.
Contributions are solicited that address these and other aspects of
monitoring and analyzing the rotation of the Earth.
Sub-symposium G10/02: Modelling (V. Dehant, B. Chao)
This symposium is devoted to modelling of the Earth rotation and in
particular the study of the influences of geophysical fluids on Earth
rotation rate, length-of-day, polar motion, and nutation. These Fluids are
(1) the atmosphere, (2) the ocean, (3) the ocean tides, (4) the fluid core,
(5) the mantle, and (6) hydrology. Their influence on the Earth's rotation
parameters is through the masses and the mass transport occurring in the
fluid parts. The influences on the solid Earth can be computed by computing
the angular momentum exchange with the fluid part or by computing the
torques acting on the solid Earth. These influences can act at all time
scales from diurnal and sub-diurnal to long period, seasonal and even
decadal time scales. The dynamics in the fluid parts is important in the
frame of this computation. The symposium is dedicated to all these
aspects.
Further information on the compilation and submission of the abstracts,
invitation letters (if required), forms for pre-registration and hotel
reservation, application forms for support awards, guidelines for your
presentation, etc., are given in the web page of EGS under the address:
http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/EGS.html
The abstracts should be sent either electronically or as a hard copy to the
EGS office and the conveners of the Sub-symposia. In the second case please
send the original abstract directly to the EGS office and with a copy to
the conveners at the addresses indicated below. Also, please inform any
colleagues that might be interested and missing from our mailing list.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Nice!
Yours sincerely,
Barbara Kolaczek, Denis D. McCarthy, Harald Schuh, Richard Gross, Veronique
Dehant, Benjamin Fong Chao.
