[IGSMAIL-6336] Re: Call for Papers for IUGG Symposium J-G01 *Space geodesy-based atmospheric remote sensing as a synergistic link between Geodesy and Meteorology*

[Marcelo Santos]

Dear colleagues: deadline approaches for submissions to the IUGG.

*Please consider submitting to the IAG-sponsored Symposium J-G01 on 
"Space Geodesy-based atmospheric remote sensing."*

A few general notes:
1. Concerning the deadline of Feb 1st. I have been told by the 
organizers that: "The deadline is 1st of February but it will take into 
account all time zones around the world."

2. The required deposit of AUS$30 will be considered as a portion of the 
registration fee.

Regards,
