Please note that EOP predictions (especially for UT1) are
relevant to the IGS because they limit the performance of
real-time and near real-time orbit products (see IGS Mail
5874).   --Jim

IERS Workshop on EOP Combination and Prediction


Dear Colleagues,

The IERS Workshop on Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) Combination and
Prediction will be held at the Space Research Centre of the Polish
Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, POLAND, 19-21 October 2009.

The main goal of this Workshop is to provide the current
state-of-the-art for EOP prediction in terms of data sets and algorithms
as well as to discuss recommended actions for improving EOP prediction,
including improving the IERS rapid combined series.

Scientific Organizing Committee:
Bill Wooden (co-chair), Wieslaw Kosek (co-chair), Orhan Akyilmaz,
Aleksander Brzezinski, Tonie van Dam, Daniel Gambis, Richard Gross,
Brian Luzum, Zinovy Malkin, Jim Ray, and Harald Schuh

The preliminary scientific program consists of the following sessions:

SESSION 1: Earth Orientation Parameters: a-priori models, observations,
and combined solutions
     1.1 Space Geodetic EOP Observations
     1.2 EOP Tide Models
     1.3 EOP Combinations
SESSION 2: Geophysical excitation functions and their prediction
SESSION 3: EOP prediction techniques and algorithms

The Workshop also includes "Discussion and Recommendations for the
Future".

Detailed information about the Workshop is available at the website:
http://www.cbk.waw.pl/EOPPW2009/

The deadline for abstract submission is July 31st. This workshop is
organized by the IERS Working Group on Prediction.
