Dear colleagues,

we would like to remind you to submit contributions (posters) for the 
session "Reanalysis Campaign" at the IGS Analysis Center Workshop, 2-6 
June 2008, Miami Beach, Florida, USA (see 
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/IGSWorkshop2008)

The deadline for the submissions is 1 May 2008.

You can find a session description below.
Please send authors and title of your contribution to the session chairs:

and a copy to Jim Ray: jimr at ngs.noaa.gov

Best regards

Session Description:

During the IGS history several TRFs were applied and the ACs have 
implemented many changes for software and technology improvements; all 
led to various inconsistencies in the IGS products. A major change was 
the introduction of the absolute antenna models, which entered only with 
some approximation into the recent IRTF2005. The IGS has to overcome 
these inconsistencies in their time series with a reprocessing of its 
historical data since 1994 using the latest models and the latest AC's 
software implementations. The improved homogeneous products will allow 
better geophysical interpretations and will result in a significantly 
better contribution to the next realization of the ITRF. The reanalysis 
will also include more stations to better address the requirements of 
the user community.

The session will concentrate on all activities related to the IGS 
reprocessing. Evaluations of the reprocessing test campaign, which shall 
identify problems in an early stage, and first results from the IGS 
reprocessing, available up to this IGS Workshop, are welcome. Also 
welcome are experiences from any reprocessing activities outside the 
IGS, which can give valuable feedback to the IGS reprocessing project.
