Dear Colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention the "Mitigation of Ionospheric and 
Tropospheric Effects in Precision GNSS" session (Joint Commissions F and G), 
which will be held on August 13, 2008, within  the 2008 URSI General Assembly, 
in Chicago, IL:

FG: Mitigation of Ionospheric and Tropospheric Effects in Precision GNSS.

Conveners: B. Arbesser-Rastburg, <bertram at tec-ee.esa.int> M. Hernandez-Pajares, 
<manuel at ma4.upc.edu>

Summary:

Precise GNSS positioning is affected by both ionospheric and tropospheric 
delays, which can be very significant. The session is addressing this 
interdisciplinary field of research, inviting submissions on recent 
improvements in mitigating the ionospheric and tropospheric effects on 
precision GNSS. Carrier phase positioning and ambiguity fixing in RTK and TCAR 
and the operation of SBAS systems such as WAAS and EGNOS are important topics. 
Papers on supporting techniques such as data combination, assimilation, 
improvements in mapping functions and tomography would also be welcome. In 
addition techniques which are counteracting the effects of scintillations for 
precision GNSS applications can be considered.

General information about URSI GA can be found at:

You can submit your paper through the following webpage.
http://www.ece.uic.edu/2008ursiga/Technical%20Activities/Paper%20Submission.html

The abstract submission deadline is January 31, 2008. Notification of authors 
of final decisions on their papers, indicating rejection, or oral or poster 
sessions will be on March 31, 2008.


Thank you and Best regards,
