[IGSMAIL-6231] AGU fall meeting session G23: Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Water Vapour Using Geodetic Techniques

[Ian Thomas]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the Fall AGU meeting that might of interest, and to which we encourage you to submit an abstract by the 2nd September deadline:





G23:     Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Water Vapour Using Geodetic Techniques

Sponsor:     Geodesy

CoSponsor:    Atmospheric Sciences

Convener:     Ian Thomas, University of Newcastle, ian.thomas at ncl.ac.uk<mailto:ian.thomas at ncl.ac.uk>

              Junhong Wang, NCAR/EOL, junhong at ucar.edu<mailto:junhong at ucar.edu>

              John Braun, UCAR, braunj at ucar.edu<mailto:braunj at ucar.edu>

Index Terms:  1220 1225 .



Description:     Geodetic techniques can offer observations of

atmospheric water vapour at various temporal and spatial scales, often complementary to traditional meteorological observations. We solicit contributions that use, for example, GNSS, GPS Occultation, VLBI or SLR.

Technique validation or inter-technique comparisons (e.g. against other satellite instruments or radiosonde) are of interest. Also encouraged are papers focussing on the troposphere as a contributor to the error budget of geodetic observations, or on variations in the structure of the Earth's atmosphere. Further suggestions include assesment of the utility of GNSS measurements as input to numerical weather models, or as climate datasets in their own right.



Thanks,

Ian Thomas, Junhong Wang and John Braun.
