Dear Colleagues,

We would like to call your attention to Session G03 "Atmospheric effects
and modeling related to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals"
at fall AGU.

The session description is below.  Abstracts are due Sept. 6th.
Thank you and our apologies for multiple posts.

Joco F Galera Monico

We would also like to ask you to send this information to those that you
consider may be interested in this topic. Information is available at
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm07/.

Description:  The main focus of this session is to discuss the ionosphere
and troposphere effects on the GNSS signals, as well as current techniques
to model and mitigate such effects. Contributions related to GPS
Meteorology (ground and space based), Numerical Weather Models for
troposphere refraction mitigation, troposphere mapping functions and
related topics are welcome. Concerning the upper atmosphere, we expect
contributions in the field of monitoring, forecasting, modeling and
mitigating ionospheric phenomena such as Ionospheric scintillation,
traveling ionospheric disturbances, steep TEC gradients, rapid TEC
variations and TEC depletions. Studies related to high order ionosphere
errors affecting high accuracy and real-time GNSS techniques, as well as
their effects on reference frame for applications in geodetic positioning
and navigation are also of interest to this session.
