Session Summary:
IGS products are being used for an increasingly broad diversity of scientific applications. The benefits of using IGS products include accuracy, robustness, consistency, stability, standardization, and traceability in reference systems and time standards. Moreover, many applications benefit retrospectively when IGS completely reprocesses of its entire dataset with improved reference systems, models, estimation strategies, algorithms, and calibrations. Scientific applications that benefit from IGS comprise an exponentially growing list, including reference frame realization, Earth rotation, plate tectonics, plate boundary deformation, the earthquake cycle, seismology, glacial isostatic adjustment, sea level monitoring, low Earth orbiter positioning, time transfer, weather forecasting, climate monitoring, ionospheric science, atmospheric sounding, tsunami early warning, terrestrial water storage, snow depths, soil moisture, vegetation monitoring, and fundamental physics experiments. For this session, we solicit presentations on scientific applications that use IGS products (either combination products or Analysis Center products). We particularly encourage presentations that trace the quality of the science outcomes to the quality of IGS products, and identify how future science may be improved by either new or improved IGS products.


The plenary session will be held Friday, 2 November, from 8:30 to 9:30 AM
