Dear Colleagues:

The IAG 2009 General Assembly will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug.31-Sep.4, 2009 (http://www.iag2009.com.ar). We would like to draw you attention to the Geodetic Ocean
Remote Sensing Subsession 4.3 (within IAG G04: Positioning and Remote Sensing of Land, Atmosphere and Ocean). Deadline for the abstract submission is extended to March 6, 2009
(http://www.iag2009.com.ar/registration). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Session 4.3: Multi-satellite Ocean Remote Sensing
Convenor:
Shuanggen Jin (Uni. Texas at Austin; Korea Astron. & Space Sci. Inst.)
Ole Baltazar Andersen (Danish National Space Center, DTU, Denmark)

========================================================================
Remote sensing capabilities from (GPS, SAR, GRACE, Laser and Radar Altimetry etc) provide unprecedented opportunities for monitoring, studying, and forecasting the ocean
environment. An integrated approach of synthesizing various remote sensing data and also combining them with in situ measurements and ocean models is highly desirable, both for
physical and biological oceanography and for marine gravity and geodesy.

This session will address current capabilities, progresses and future directions for ocean circulation, ocean tides, sea level change, air-sea interactions, global/regional
oceanographic processes, water cycle/budget, and tsunamis warning system. This session also welcomes submissions that combine GPS-reflectometry with in-situ Tide-gauge
observations, SAR, Scatterometry and Altimetry data for monitoring, comparing and calibration in ocean remote sensing, as well as propose new applications for these observations,
and present future missions/challenges. Papers on emerging technologies and combination of existing and new sensors including those deployed on aircraft and on operational
applications are particularly encouraged.

All the bests!
