We draw your attention in particular to session: *G1.3 - High-precision GNSS: methods, open problems and Geoscience applications* https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/35325 This session is an activity of: - IAG SC4.4 'GNSS Integrity and Quality Control' - IAG-ICCT JSG T.32 'High-rate GNSS for Geosciences and Mobility' Session G1.3 description: In the past two decades high-precision GPS has been applied to support numerous applications in Geosciences. Currently, there are two fully operational Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and two more are in the implementation stage. The new Galileo and BDS systems already provide usable signals, and both, GPS and GLONASS, are currently undergoing a significant modernization, which adds more capacity, more signals, better accuracy and interoperability, etc. Meanwhile, the huge technology development provided GNSS equipment (in some cases even at low-cost) able to collect measurements at much higher rates, up to 100 Hz, hence opening new possibilities. Therefore, on one side, the new developments in GNSS stimulate a broad range of new applications for solid and fluid Earth investigations, both in post-processing and in real-time; on the other side, this results in new problems and challenges in data processing which boost GNSS research. Algorithmic advancements are needed to address the opportunities and challenges in enhancing the accuracy, availability, interoperability and integrity of high-precision GNSS applications. This session is related to activities of IAG SC4.4 'GNSS Integrity and Quality Control' and IAG-ICCT JSG T.32 'High-rate GNSS for Geosciences and Mobility'.

We are looking forward to your contribution for the Session G2.3: Precise Orbit Determination for Geodesy and Earth Science. Session description: Precise orbit determination is of central importance for many applications of geodesy and earth science. The challenge is to determine satellite orbits in an absolute sense at the centimeter or even sub-centimeter level, and at the millimeter or even sub-millimeter level in a relative sense. New constellations of GNSS satellites are currently being completed and numerous position-critical missions (e.g. altimetry, gravity, SAR and SLR missions) are currently in orbit. All together outstanding data are available offering new opportunities to push orbit determination to the limit and to explore new applications. This session aims to make accessible the technical challenges of orbit determination and modelling to the wider community and to quantify the nature of the impact of dynamics errors on the various applications. Contributions are solicited but not limited to the following areas: (1) precise orbit determination and validation; (2) satellite surface force modelling; (3) advances in modelling atmospheric density and in atmospheric gravity; (4) advances in modelling earth radiation fluxes and their interaction with space vehicles; (5) analysis of changes in geodetic parameters/earth models resulting from improved force modelling/orbit determination methods; (6) improvements in observable modelling for all tracking systems, e.g. SLR, DORIS, GNSS and their impact on orbit determination; (7) advances in combining the different tracking systems for orbit determination; (8) the impact of improved clock modelling methods/space clocks on precise orbit determination; (9) advances in modelling satellite attitude. Note that there will be peer-reviewed joint proceedings of the geodesy sessions that will be published in the EGU open-access journal Advances in Geosciences (see https://www.advances-in-geosciences.net/).

IGS Community Members are encouraged and welcomed to submit an abstract to participate in this session with an oral presentation or poster. We call your attention to the EGU sessions on: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Improving infrastructure for future science (see session abstract below.). This is an opportunity to present an update on the status and plans for the geodetic networks that provide the essential data for geodetic data products. In particular, it would be appropriate to have presentations and posters from the Geodetic Services (IGS, IVS, ILRS, IDS, IGFS, and the tide gauge network) and Core and co-location sites in operation or under development. This is one of the principle ways that we keep the community up-to-date on the infrastructure investment being made to provide the geodetic data. The deadline for abstracts is January 15 (see https://www.egu2020.eu/). We urge you to submit an abstract and join us at this years? EGU meeting in Vienna. The Global Geodetic Observing System: Improving infrastructure for future science Convener: Convener: Kosuke HEKI Co-conveners: Detlef Angermann, Richard Gross, Michael R. Pearlman The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides measurements of the time varying gravity, rotation, and shape of the Earth using geodetic and gravimetric instruments located on the ground and in space. These measurements need to be accurate to better than a part per billion in order to advance our understanding of the underlying processes that are causing the Earth's rotation, gravity, and shape to change. Mass transport in the global water cycle, sea level and climate change, and crustal deformation associated with geohazards are examples of particularly demanding applications of geodetic and gravimetric measurements. All these measurements require a common reference with the same precision, like the Terrestrial Reference Frame and the Unified Height System. GGOS is designed to unite the individual observations and model into one consistent frame with the highest precision available. This session should be a platform for discussing improvements to global geodetic observing systems including multidisciplinary approaches as well as for single contributions with high precision in a global network.

We would like to draw your attention to session G5.2/AS5 Atmospheric and Environmental Monitoring with Space-Geodetic Techniques. The description of the session is given below and it can also be found at https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/35338 We encourage you to participate in it by submitting abstracts. Notice that the DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS 15 JANUARY 2020, 13:00 Do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna! On behalf of the convenors of session G5.2, Rosa Pacione Co-conveners: Gert Mulder, Maximilian Semmling, Norman Teferle, Henrik Vedel Geodesy contributes to Atmospheric Science by providing some of the Essential Climate Variables of the Global Climate Observing System. Water vapor is under-sampled in the current meteorological and climate observing systems. Obtaining and exploiting more high-quality humidity observations is essential to weather forecasting and climate monitoring. The production, exploitation and evaluation of operational GNSS-Meteorology for weather forecasting is well established in Europe due to 20+ years of cooperation between the geodetic community and the national met services. Advancements in NWP models to improve forecasting of extreme precipitation require GNSS troposphere products with a higher resolution in space and shorter delivery times than are currently in use. Homogeneously reprocessed GNSS data have high potential for monitoring water vapor climatic trends and variability. With shortening orbit repeat periods, SAR measurements are a new source of information to improve NWP models. Using NWP data within real-time processing of GNSS observations can initialize PPP algorithms, shortening convergence times and improving positioning. GNSS signals can be used for L-band remote sensing when Earth-surface reflected signals are considered. GNSS-reflectometry contributes to environmental monitoring with estimates of soil moisture, snow depth, ocean wind speed, sea ice concentration and has the potential to be used to retrieve near-surface water vapor. We welcome, but not limit, contributions on: *Estimates of the neutral atmosphere using ground-based and space-based geodetic data, use of those estimates in weather forecasting and climate monitoring *Multi-GNSS and multi-instruments approaches to retrieve and inter-compare tropospheric parameters *Real-Time and reprocessed tropospheric products for now-casting, forecasting and climate *Assimilation of GNSS tropospheric products in NWP and in climate reanalysis *Production of SAR-based tropospheric parameters and use of them in NWP *Methods for homogenization of long-term GNSS tropospheric products *Studies of the delay properties of the GNSS signals for propagation experiments *Usage of NWP data in GNSS data processing *Techniques on retrieval of soil moisture from GNSS observations and of ground-atmosphere boundary interactions *Estimates and methods using GNSS reflectometry for the detection and characterization of sea ice *Usage of satellite gravity observations for studying the atmospheric water cycle.

More than 100 symposia will cover all areas of space science: Space studies of the Earth?s surface, meteorology and climate, Space studies of the Earth-Moon, Planets and small bodies of the solar system, Space studies of the upper atmospheres of the Earth and Planets including reference atmosphere, Space plasmas in the Solar system, including planetary magnetospheres, research in astrophysics from space, life sciences as related to space, material sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, and several Panel meetings. Interdisciplinary lectures will also be given by key scientists and several associated events are planned, such as a meeting organized by Elsevier for young scientists to help them publish or review scientific articles. In particular, we would like to draw the attention to a session, organized by the COSPAR Panel on Satellite Dynamics together with sub-Commission B2 ?International Coordination of Space Techniques for Geodesy? (identical to IAG Commission 1 on Reference Frames). The title of the session is "Satellite Dynamics - new Developments and Challenges for Earth and Solar System Sciences". The aim of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics is to support activities related to the detailed description of the motion of artificial celestial bodies. This goal should be achieved by improving the current theories of motion and by evaluating their determining forces in a more sophisticated way. Detailed theoretical understanding of the dynamics of satellites should coincide with the results of precise tracking in order to obtain the most precise knowledge possible of the orbit and the corresponding orbital positions. The scope of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics entails the positioning of a wide range of objects in space, including Earth orbiting satellites for Earth observation such as GRACE-FO, Swarm, Jason-3, and the Copernicus Sentinels, and navigation satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS or tracking systems such as SLR and DORIS. In addition, positioning plays an important role in the success of the continuously growing number of today's and tomorrow?s missions to explore the Solar System. Recent and future missions have to deal with complex trajectories and innovative propulsion and breaking techniques to visit multiple bodies (e.g., Cassini, Dawn, JUICE), small unconventional bodies (e.g., Rosetta, OSIRIS-REx, Lucy), and harsh and unknown environmental conditions challenging our technical capabilities (e.g., Messenger, Venus Express, BepiColombo, JUNO). Both advances in the modeling of spacecraft dynamics and the theoretical understanding of space observables (e.g., range, Doppler, VLBI, optical) are required to allow for a more efficient exploration and a deeper understanding of our Solar System. Limiting errors in Precise Orbit Determination (solar radiation pressure, time variable gravity fields, phase center corrections, attitude variations, etc...) are of critical interest for many stakeholders. Moreover, formations of satellites are being realized and proposed for Earth observation and fundamental sciences, that impose very severe constraints on (relative) positioning and orbit and attitude control solutions (e.g. micro-propulsion). Mini-satellites and cubesats also represent a new frontier for both Earth and planetary exploration, posing new challenges as well as new opportunities. Satellite orbit determination requires the availability of tracking systems, well established reference frames and accurate station coordinate solutions, detailed force and satellite models, and high-precision time and frequency standards. Contributions covering all recent developments and plans in ground, satellite or probe positioning and navigation are solicited as well as contributions on current progress on establishment, maintenance and improvement of reference systems in Geosciences.

So there is still the chance to contribute. We are looking forward to your contribution in particular for the event organized by the Panel on Satellite Dynamics and subcommision B2: Satellite Dynamics - new Developments and Challenges for Earth and Solar System Sciences The aim of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics is to support activities related to the detailed description of the motion of artificial celestial bodies. This goal should be achieved by improving the current theories of motion and by evaluating their determining forces in a more sophisticated way. Detailed theoretical understanding of the dynamics of satellites should coincide with the results of precise tracking in order to obtain the most precise knowledge possible of the orbit and the corresponding orbital positions. The scope of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics entails the positioning of a wide range of objects in space, including Earth orbiting satellites for Earth observation such as GRACE-FO, Swarm, Jason-3, and the Copernicus Sentinels, and navigation satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS or tracking systems such as SLR and DORIS. In addition, positioning plays an important role in the success of the continuously growing number of today's and tomorrow?s missions to explore the Solar System. Recent and future missions have to deal with complex trajectories and innovative propulsion and breaking techniques to visit multiple bodies (e.g., Cassini, Dawn, JUICE), small unconventional bodies (e.g., Rosetta, OSIRIS-REx, Lucy), and harsh and unknown environmental conditions challenging our technical capabilities (e.g., Messenger, Venus Express, BepiColombo, JUNO). Both advances in the modeling of spacecraft dynamics and the theoretical understanding of space observables (e.g., range, Doppler, VLBI, optical) are required to allow for a more efficient exploration and a deeper understanding of our Solar System. Limiting errors in Precise Orbit Determination (solar radiation pressure, time variable gravity fields, phase center corrections, attitude variations, etc...) are of critical interest for many stakeholders. Moreover, formations of satellites are being realized and proposed for Earth observation and fundamental sciences, that impose very severe constraints on (relative) positioning and orbit and attitude control solutions (e.g. micro-propulsion). Mini-satellites and cubesats also represent a new frontier for both Earth and planetary exploration, posing new challenges as well as new opportunities. Satellite orbit determination requires the availability of tracking systems, well established reference frames and accurate station coordinate solutions, detailed force and satellite models, and high-precision time and frequency standards. Contributions covering all recent developments and plans in ground, satellite or probe positioning and navigation are solicited as well as contributions on current progress on establishment, maintenance and improvement of reference systems in Geosciences.

All interested individuals are invited to attend the meeting. The 2nd IAG Commission 4 Symposium brings together scientists, researchers and professionals dealing with the broad area of positioning and applications. For this purpose, it will facilitate the discussion of research that leverages current and emerging positioning techniques and technologies aiming at delivering both practical and theoretical solutions for engineering and mapping applications, GNSS-based technologies, sensors fusion, and atmospheric remote sensing, modelling, and applications, based on geodetic techniques. Recognizing the central role of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in providing high accuracy positioning information today and in the future, the 2nd IAG Commission 4 Symposium will focus on ongoing research for improving models and methods that enhance and assure the performance of GNSS-based positioning solutions for a wide range of geodetic applications. The 2nd IAG Commission 4 Symposium will be devoted to the discussion of theory, strategies and tools for modelling and/or mitigating the effects of interference, signal loss and atmospheric effects as they apply to precise GNSS and other space geodetic techniques. They will address the technical and institutional issues necessary for developing backups for GNSS, integrated positioning solutions, automated processing capabilities and quality control measures. Besides positioning, another focus of the 2nd IAG Commission 4 Symposium will be on remote sensing and modelling of the lower and upper atmosphere. The Space Geodesy and Ionosphere (SGI) Workshop in 2020 is embedded in this event. This symposium will be carried out in close cooperation with the International GNSS Service (IGS), the IAG Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) Focus Area ?Geodetic Space Weather Research?, as well as via linkages with relevant entities within scientific and professional sister organizations. The Symposium will be co-sponsored by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy?s (IAGA), Division II ?Aeronomic Phenomena? Working Group IIC ?Meteorological Effects on the Ionosphere?. Further partners are the Institute of Navigation (ION), the Technische Universitat Berlin and the GFZ Potsdam.

Besides, the IGS14 coordinates of the remaining usable reference frame stations now need to be extrapolated by more than 5 years, which causes substantial errors. For these reasons and in order to stabilize the reference frame alignment of the IGS products, the IGS is going to adopt an updated reference frame called IGb14, starting with products of GPS week 2106 (May 17, 2020). IGb14.snx is available with some ancillary files at ftp://igs-rf.ign.fr/pub/IGb14: * IGb14.snx : IGb14 SINEX file * IGb14.ssc : IGb14 SINEX file without covariance matrix * IGb14_core.txt : list of IGb14 core stations * soln_IGb14.snx : discontinuity list to be used with IGb14.snx * psd_IGb14.snx : post-seismic deformation models to be used with IGb14.snx IGb14 was obtained from a long-term stacking of daily IGS combined repro2/operational solutions of GPS weeks 730 to 2092 (see details in the comment section of the SINEX file). IGb14 is aligned in origin, scale and orientation to IGS14 via a subset of 233 selected stations. The switch from IGS14 to IGb14 should therefore not introduce discontinuities in the IGS operational product series. Compared to IGS14, IGb14 benefits from 5 more years of input data, a revised discontinuity list and 9 additional stations. To illustrate the expected benefit of the switch from IGS14 to IGb14, the IGS combined SINEX solution of week 2093 was aligned to both reference frames. The number of RF stations used for both alignments and the RMS of the alignment residuals are given in the table below. | RMS [mm] | RF #sta | E N H | -------------|----------------| IGS14 106 | 2.4 2.8 6.5 | IGb14 161 | 1.3 1.6 4.4 | -------------|----------------| Paul Rebischung, on behalf of the IGS Reference Frame Working Group From arturo.villiger at aiub.unibe.ch Tue Apr 14 08:00:49 2020 From: arturo.villiger at aiub.unibe.ch (Arturo Villiger) Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 17:00:49 +0200 Subject: [IGSMAIL-7922] igs14_2101.atx: Update including new GLONASS-M satellite R860 Message-ID: <4ec8adad-a612-0b15-f0f7-36a2551fcd6a@aiub.unibe.ch> Dear colleagues The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs14_wwww.atx) has been updated. The new release is called 'igs14_2101.atx'. It contains the following changes: 1) According to the Information Analytical Centre (IAC), GLONASS-M satellite R860 (2020-018A) launched on March 16, 2020 was put into slot 24. The satellite started to transmit on April 10, 2020 at 05:00. Note that the SVN number was assigned according to an IGS Workshop recommendation (see IGSMAIL #7252) to 860 (changed from 760 to 860). The following PRELIMINARY phase center offset (PCO) values were assigned: PCO_X = -54.5 cm PCO_Y = 0.0 cm PCO_Z = 245.0 cm 2) The following decommission date has been added: R24 (R735): 10 August 2020 04 59 59 The updated antenna correction model is available at ftp://ftp.igs.org/pub/station/general/igs14_2101.atx or ftp://ftp.igs.org/pub/station/general/igs14.atx With best regards, Arturo _______________________________________________ IGSMail mailing list IGSMail at lists.igs.org https://lists.igs.org/mailman/listinfo/igsmail -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At present CDDIS is seeing only about 20% of the current daily activities having been transitioned to https or ftp-ssl. Do not wait until the last minute. Please give this email widest dissemination to your colleagues. Original email announcing the termination and links are listed below. Please pay particular attention to the instructions linked, especially the requirement for using a .netrc file. Questions should be addressed to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov R Pat Patrick Michael Manager Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771 301-614-5370 Patrick.Michael at nasa.gov [signature_2128178103] Dear CDDIS Users PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE EMAIL! For more than two years now CDDIS has been warning our user community about the eventual termination of anonymous ftp to the CDDIS archive. On 31 October 2020, unencrypted anonymous ftp access will officially be discontinued at CDDIS. CDDIS will bandwidth limit ALL unencrypted ftp service starting the summer of 2020. CDDIS will implement bandwidth limits and final discontinuation of unencrypted ftp service in the timeline below. 1. 1 July 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 1MB/s 2. 10 August 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 250KB/s 3. 1 October 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 50KB/s 4. 31 Oct 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be permanently discontinued at CDDIS CDDIS is STRONGLY recommending all users begin to transition to use https (https://cddis.nasa.gov/archive) as the preferred method of access to the CDDIS archive. Download procedures can be found at: https://cddis.nasa.gov/About/CDDIS_File_Download_Documentation.html, along with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link and links of how to use cURL, wget and Python (https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html) CDDIS has also made available ftp-ssl (gdc.cddis.eosdis.nasa.gov) as a secondary method to access the archive. In some cases the use of ftp-ssl may make the conversion of existing scripts easier than using https. Examples of how to use ftp-ssl are listed at: https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html. CDDIS will NOT be changing the archive structure. So the locations that you are using to access files will stay the same. Though a prefix in the URL might be needed, (i.e. /archive for the https method) or a new host (for ftp-ssl). CDDIS currently supports approximately 300,000 users and has served out almost 2 billion files in 2019. We understand that this change can have a significant impact on some of our users and have tried to make this process as easy as possible. Unfortunately this change is mandated by the US Government and outside of CDDIS?s control. If there are questions or comments, we ask that you address them to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov and not directly to any CDDIS staff member. So in summary: 1. Anonymous ftp service will be discontinued 31 October 2020. 2. Transition to https or ftp-ssl needs to begin NOW 3. Questions should be addressed to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov R Pat -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is located at: https://gnss-reflections.org There are two main ways to use it: you can analyze GPS data from an archive or you upload a RINEX 2.11 file. There are also some test cases and a FAQ section. Depending on the load on the server hosting the web app, it takes from 5-10 seconds to analyze the reflections in 24 hours of GPS data. I recently added some new options. One allows analysis of RINEX 3 data stored at CDDIS. You can also calculate first order reflection zones that you particularly need to properly interpret water reflections. If you are interested in doing reflections more regularly, there are also codes at gitHub, https://github.com/kristinemlarson Cheers, Kristine -- Kristine M.

This month we have been running a series of webinars at Geoscience Australia to promote the geodetic data, products and services that we provide. The next webinar will be of interest to the IGS community as it provides an overview of our GNSS data centre. This webinar is being held on May 26 at 2:00 pm (Canberra Time) and will include a demonstration of how GNSS data and station information can be found and accessed using our new APIs. These APIs will eventually replace our FTP server as the preferred way in which GNSS data is accessed from GA.

At that time CDDIS will bandwidth limit ALL IPs to just 1MB/s transfer rates. The second and third bandwidth reductions will take place as laid out in the original email announcing termination of unencrypted anonymous ftp (see below). Please give this email widest dissemination to your colleagues. Instructions and example links are listed below in the original email. Pay particular attention to needing a .netrc file in some examples. Please address questions to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov R Pat Patrick Michael Manager Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771 301-614-5370 Patrick.Michael at nasa.gov [signature_1025032618] Dear CDDIS Users PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE EMAIL! For more than two years now CDDIS has been warning our user community about the eventual termination of anonymous ftp to the CDDIS archive. On 31 October 2020, unencrypted anonymous ftp access will officially be discontinued at CDDIS. CDDIS will bandwidth limit ALL unencrypted ftp service starting the summer of 2020. CDDIS will implement bandwidth limits and final discontinuation of unencrypted ftp service in the timeline below. 1. 1 July 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 1MB/s 2. 10 August 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 250KB/s 3. 1 October 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 50KB/s 4. 31 Oct 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be permanently discontinued at CDDIS CDDIS is STRONGLY recommending all users begin to transition to use https (https://cddis.nasa.gov/archive) as the preferred method of access to the CDDIS archive. Download procedures can be found at: https://cddis.nasa.gov/About/CDDIS_File_Download_Documentation.html, along with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link and links of how to use cURL, wget and Python (https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html) CDDIS has also made available ftp-ssl (gdc.cddis.eosdis.nasa.gov) as a secondary method to access the archive. In some cases the use of ftp-ssl may make the conversion of existing scripts easier than using https. Examples of how to use ftp-ssl are listed at: https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html. CDDIS will NOT be changing the archive structure. So the locations that you are using to access files will stay the same. Though a prefix in the URL might be needed, (i.e. /archive for the https method) or a new host (for ftp-ssl). CDDIS currently supports approximately 300,000 users and served out almost 2 billion files in 2019. We understand that this change can have a significant impact on some of our users and have tried to make this process as easy as possible. Unfortunately this change is mandated by the US Government and outside of CDDIS?s control. If there are questions or comments, we ask that you address them to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov and not directly to any CDDIS staff member. So in summary: 1. Anonymous ftp service will be discontinued 31 October 2020. 2. Transition to https or ftp-ssl needs to begin NOW 3. Questions should be addressed to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Currently three fully-deployed GNSS are analyzed by IGS Analysis Centers and included in the currently running reprocessing effort: GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), and Galileo (Europe). Developments including additional GNSS (Chinese BeiDou, Japanese QZSS, Indian NavIC, etc.) are ongoing within the IGS. Several components of the IGS do already support a fully consistent processing of GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo in the operational chain as well as for the currently running reprocessing effort. The continuous improvement of IGS products in this fast-moving field --?? with constantly evolving satellites, systems, signals, models, and data analysis methodology --?? is a scientific challenge. This session solicits presentations on scientific applications enabled by IGS products and new science enabled by improvements to quality and breadth of GNSS products. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Salim.Masoumi at ga.gov.au Wed Jul 15 20:36:50 2020 From: Salim.Masoumi at ga.gov.au (Masoumi Salim) Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 03:36:50 +0000 Subject: [IGSMAIL-7955] Delay in IGS ultra-rapid products (21143_18) [SEC=OFFICIAL] Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, There was a problem in IGS ultra-rapid combinations, which caused a delay in the submission of the ultra-rapid products for week 2114 dow 3 hour 18.

We welcome papers that discuss innovative results related to the determination of the reference frame, and papers that demonstrate who the TRF and its regional manifestations are of applicability to civil society. We understand that people are distracted and worried by the Covid-19 pandemic, and probably dealing with the difficulties of working remotely away from direct contact with colleagues and increased responsibilities for care of family members and children who cannot go in person to school. We hope nonetheless that they will avail themselves of the opportunity to meet as a community in this Reference Frame session, as it will be really the only forum we will have to meet as a global community for the entire year, and in advance of what we hope will be an on-time submission of the contributions for ITRF2020.

The 43rd COSPAR Scientific Assembly (28 January - 4 February 2021) is going Hybrid and the call for abstracts have reopened until 5 October 2020. In addition to the already existing program new abstracts can be submitted. More information about how the Hybrid Assembly will work may be found at http://www.cospar2020.org/abstracts.php In particular, we would like to draw the attention to a session, organized by the COSPAR Panel on Satellite Dynamics together with sub-Commission B2 ?International Coordination of Space Techniques for Geodesy? (identical to IAG Commission 1 on Reference Frames). The title of the session is "Satellite Dynamics - new Developments and Challenges for Earth and Solar System Sciences". The aim of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics is to support activities related to the detailed description of the motion of artificial celestial bodies. This goal should be achieved by improving the current theories of motion and by evaluating their determining forces in a more sophisticated way. Detailed theoretical understanding of the dynamics of satellites should coincide with the results of precise tracking in order to obtain the most precise knowledge possible of the orbit and the corresponding orbital positions. The scope of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics entails the positioning of a wide range of objects in space, including Earth orbiting satellites for Earth observation such as GRACE-FO, Swarm, Jason-3, and the Copernicus Sentinels, and navigation satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS or tracking systems such as SLR and DORIS. In addition, positioning plays an important role in the success of the continuously growing number of today's and tomorrow?s missions to explore the Solar System. Recent and future missions have to deal with complex trajectories and innovative propulsion and breaking techniques to visit multiple bodies (e.g., Cassini, Dawn, JUICE), small unconventional bodies (e.g., Rosetta, OSIRIS-REx, Lucy), and harsh and unknown environmental conditions challenging our technical capabilities (e.g., Messenger, Venus Express, BepiColombo, JUNO). Both advances in the modeling of spacecraft dynamics and the theoretical understanding of space observables (e.g., range, Doppler, VLBI, optical) are required to allow for a more efficient exploration and a deeper understanding of our Solar System. Limiting errors in Precise Orbit Determination (solar radiation pressure, time variable gravity fields, phase center corrections, attitude variations, etc...) are of critical interest for many stakeholders. Moreover, formations of satellites are being realized and proposed for Earth observation and fundamental sciences, that impose very severe constraints on (relative) positioning and orbit and attitude control solutions (e.g. micro-propulsion). Mini-satellites and cubesats also represent a new frontier for both Earth and planetary exploration, posing new challenges as well as new opportunities. Satellite orbit determination requires the availability of tracking systems, well established reference frames and accurate station coordinate solutions, detailed force and satellite models, and high-precision time and frequency standards. Contributions covering all recent developments and plans in ground, satellite or probe positioning and navigation are solicited as well as contributions on current progress on establishment, maintenance and improvement of reference systems in Geosciences.

Please give this email widest dissemination to your colleagues. Instructions and example links are listed below in the original email. Pay particular attention to needing a .netrc file in some examples. Please address questions to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov R Pat Patrick Michael Manager Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771 301-614-5370 Patrick.Michael at nasa.gov [signature_667940243] Dear CDDIS Users PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE EMAIL! For more than two years now CDDIS has been warning our user community about the eventual termination of anonymous ftp to the CDDIS archive. On 31 October 2020, unencrypted anonymous ftp access will officially be discontinued at CDDIS. CDDIS will bandwidth limit ALL unencrypted ftp service starting the summer of 2020. CDDIS will implement bandwidth limits and final discontinuation of unencrypted ftp service in the timeline below. 1. 1 July 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 1MB/s 2. 10 August 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 250KB/s 3. 1 October 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be bandwidth limited to 50KB/s 4. 31 Oct 2020 ? all unencrypted ftp service will be permanently discontinued at CDDIS CDDIS is STRONGLY recommending all users begin to transition to use https (https://cddis.nasa.gov/archive) as the preferred method of access to the CDDIS archive. Download procedures can be found at: https://cddis.nasa.gov/About/CDDIS_File_Download_Documentation.html, along with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link and links of how to use cURL, wget and Python (https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html) CDDIS has also made available ftp-ssl (gdc.cddis.eosdis.nasa.gov) as a secondary method to access the archive. In some cases the use of ftp-ssl may make the conversion of existing scripts easier than using https. Examples of how to use ftp-ssl are listed at: https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html. CDDIS will NOT be changing the archive structure. So the locations that you are using to access files will stay the same. Though a prefix in the URL might be needed, (i.e. /archive for the https method) or a new host (for ftp-ssl). CDDIS currently supports approximately 300,000 users and served out almost 2 billion files in 2019. We understand that this change can have a significant impact on some of our users and have tried to make this process as easy as possible. Unfortunately this change is mandated by the US Government and outside of CDDIS?s control. If there are questions or comments, we ask that you address them to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov and not directly to any CDDIS staff member. So in summary: 1. Anonymous ftp service will be discontinued 31 October 2020. 2. Transition to https or ftp-ssl needs to begin NOW 3. Questions should be addressed to support-cddis at earthdata.nasa.gov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Session description: Precise orbit determination is of central importance for many applications of geodesy and earth science. The challenge is to determine satellite orbits in an absolute sense at the centimeter or even sub-centimeter level, and at the millimeter or even sub-millimeter level in a relative sense. New constellations of GNSS satellites are currently being completed and numerous position-critical missions (e.g. altimetry, gravity, SAR and SLR missions) are currently in orbit. All together outstanding data are available offering new opportunities to push orbit determination to the limit and to explore new applications. This session aims to make accessible the technical challenges of orbit determination and modelling to the wider community and to quantify the nature of the impact of dynamics errors on the various applications. Contributions are solicited but not limited to the following areas: (1) precise orbit determination and validation; (2) satellite surface force modelling; (3) advances in modelling atmospheric density and in atmospheric gravity; (4) advances in modelling earth radiation fluxes and their interaction with space vehicles; (5) analysis of changes in geodetic parameters/earth models resulting from improved force modelling/orbit determination methods; (6) improvements in observable modelling for all tracking systems, e.g. SLR, DORIS, GNSS and their impact on orbit determination; (7) advances in combining the different tracking systems for orbit determination; (8) the impact of improved clock modelling methods/space clocks on precise orbit determination; (9) advances in modelling satellite attitude. Please consider submitting an abstract to this dedicated orbit session. The deadline for abstract submission is January 13, 2021 at 13:00 CET. We are looking forward to your contribution.

We are looking forward to your contribution. vEGU2021 format: https://egu21.eu/about/provisional_format_of_egu21.html Abstract submission: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/abstractsubmission/39908 Best wishes, Benjamin M?nnel, Mathis Blo?feld, Benedikt Soja, Daniela Thaller ----------------- Session description: The geodetic products that describe the Earth system are of high quality, although the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) goals of 1 mm accuracy and 0.1 mm/yr stability for the terrestrial reference frame (TRF), the Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) and the static and time-variable gravity field of the Earth are not yet fully reached. There are limiting factors that need to be detected, analyzed, and quantified. In this context, the usage of a sub-set of available observations only, degrading station equipment quality, limitations in the observing concepts as well as deficiencies in the analysis and combination methods evoke the question whether and how the derived Earth system products can be improved. In principle, there are two ways to investigate the best methods for improving geodetic products. (A) New strategies of handling, analyzing, and combining already existing space-geodetic observations need to be developed. (B) The existing observing infrastructure should be extended by new stations, new satellite missions, and new types of observations. To realize new observing concepts, simulation studies are indispensable. This session provides a platform for presentations of new strategies, new analysis methods and simulation studies seeking to improve the determination of Earth system parameters and geodetic products such as the Terrestrial and Celestial Reference Frame (TRF, CRF), EOPs, Earth?s gravity field, satellite orbits, as well as atmospheric key parameters. Novel approaches to achieve a consistent estimation of the three pillars of geodesy, i.e., geometry, orientation and gravity, are highly welcomed. Investigations reaching for a better consistency between the individual parameters and between the products (TRF, CRF, EOP, gravity field) are also welcomed. In addition, we are seeking contributions focusing on new combination approaches and alternative analysis concepts such as employing co-locations in space, clock ties, or atmospheric ties. Simulation studies investigating dedicated co-location satellites or novel observation methods (e.g. inter-satellite links or VLBI tracking of GNSS satellites) and their potential for improving the geodetic parameters are also highly encouraged. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If yes, we would like to invite you to join us in sharing relevant research during the next EGU General Assembly (online, April 19-30, 2021). Our session "Numerical Weather Prediction Data for Space Geodesy" falls under the "Geodesy" block and is co-organized by "Atmospheric Sciences" and "Hydrological Sciences". For the session description, please visit { https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/39901 } or read below, and to contribute, please turn in your abstract by January 13, 2021, 13:00 CET. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to having your research feature in our session!

State-of-the-art numerical weather prediction provides the resources to approximate these geodetic estimates either for re-analysis or forecasting purposes, thus enhancing the related geodetic analysis. The growing number and accuracy of meteorological observations, the deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics, and the allocation of high-performance computing facilities have rendered modern numerical weather models capable of representing and predicting the atmospheric state with unprecedented accuracy. While the fact that more accurately represented driving agents (pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind are but a few) result in more reliable geophysical modeling holds true to a certain extend, it is critically important that the derived geodetic models are utilized properly. Therefore, the fusion approach is of particular interest. Sought are contributions from geodesists, astronomers, meteorologists, and Earth system scientists working on the exploitation of weather models to improve geodesy. We welcome - but not limit ourselves to - contributions discussing the efficient handling of the ever-growing hydrometeorological data volume stemming from increased spatio-temporal resolutions, and studies utilizing meso-beta (e.g., ERA5), meso-gamma scale (e.g., COSMO-DE) weather models or other means to approximate parameters such as atmospheric delays, non-tidal geophysical loading displacements, and length-of-day fluctuations, and fuse them with geodetic observations from e.g., GNSS, very long baseline interferometry, satellite laser ranging, and InSAR. -- Dr.-Ing.

We draw your attention in particular to the session: G1.3 High-precision GNSS: methods, open problems and Geoscience applications https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/39911 Session description: In recent years we have witnessed a remarkable progress in terms of signals, services and satellite deployment of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The modernization of fully operational GNSS systems and the development of new constellations, have seen us move towards a new stage of multi-constellation and multi-frequency observations. Meanwhile, the huge technology development provided GNSS equipment (in some cases even at low-cost) able to collect measurements at much higher rates, up to 100 Hz, hence opening new possibilities. Therefore, on one side, the new developments in GNSS stimulate a broad range of new applications for solid and fluid Earth investigations, both in post-processing and in real-time; on the other side, this, results in new problems and challenges in data processing which boost GNSS research. Algorithmic advancements are needed to address the opportunities and challenges in enhancing the accuracy, availability, interoperability and integrity of high-precision GNSS applications. This session is a forum to discuss new developments in high-precision GNSS algorithms and applications in Geosciences; in this respect, contributions from other branches in Geosciences (geodynamics, seismology, tsunamis, ionosphere, troposphere, etc.) are very welcome. We encourage, but not limit, submissions related to: - Modelling and processing strategies in high-precision GNSS, - Multi-GNSS benefit for Geosciences, - Multi-GNSS processing and product standards, - Inter-system and inter-frequency biases, - New or improved GNSS products for high-precision applications (orbits, clocks, UPDs, etc.), - Precise Point Positioning (PPP, PPP-RTK) and Real Time Kinematic (RTK), - High-rate GNSS, - GNSS and other sensors (accelerometers, INS, etc.) integration for high-rate applications, - Ambiguity resolution and validation, - CORS services for Geosciences (GBAS, Network-RTK, etc.), - Precise Positioning of EOS platforms, - Precise Positioning for natural hazards prevention, - Monitoring crustal deformation and the seismic cycle of active faults, - GNSS and early-warning systems, - GNSS reflectometry, - Low-cost receivers and smartphone GNSS observations for precise positioning, navigation and geoscience applications.

The session convenors: Rosa Pacione: Gert Mulder, Maximilian Semmling, Norman Teferle, Henrik Vedel Geodesy contributes to Atmospheric Science by providing some of the ECVs of the GCOS. Water Vapor is under-sampled in the current meteorological and climate observing systems. Obtaining more high-quality humidity observations is essential to weather forecasting and climate monitoring. The production, exploitation and evaluation of operational GNSS-Met for weather forecasting is well established in Europe due to 20+ years of cooperation between the geodetic community and the national met services. Advancements in NWP models to improve forecasting of extreme precipitation require GNSS troposphere products with a higher resolution in space and shorter delivery times than are currently in use. Homogeneously reprocessed GNSS data have high potential for monitoring WV climatic trends and variability. With shortening orbit repeat periods, SAR measurements are a new source of information to improve NWP models. Using NWP data within RT processing of GNSS observations can initialize PPP algorithms, shortening convergence times and improving positioning. GNSS signals can be used for L-band remote sensing when Earth-surface reflected signals are considered. GNSS-R contributes to environmental monitoring with estimates of soil moisture, snow depth, ocean wind speed, sea ice concentration and has the potential to be used to retrieve near-surface WV. We welcome, but not limit, contributions on: ?Estimates of the neutral atmosphere using ground-based and space-based geodetic data, use of those estimates in weather forecasting and climate monitoring ?Multi-GNSS and multi-instruments approaches to retrieve and inter-compare tropospheric parameters ?RT and reprocessed tropospheric products for now-casting, forecasting and climate ?Assimilation of GNSS tropospheric products in NWP and in climate reanalysis ?Production of SAR-based tropospheric parameters and use of them in NWP ?Methods for homogenization of long-term GNSS tropospheric products ?Studies of the delay properties of the GNSS signals for propagation experiments ?Usage of NWP data in GNSS data processing ?Techniques on retrieval of soil moisture from GNSS observations and of ground-atmosphere boundary interactions ?Estimates and methods using GNSS-R for the detection and characterization of sea level and sea ice changes ?Usage of satellite gravity observations for studying the atmospheric water cycle.

As you may recall, the IGS Workshop, originally intended to take place this year, was postponed to 2021 due to travel restrictions associated with the novel COVID-19. You can find the announcement in: https://www.igs.org/workshop2021/. As we all know, many uncertainties remain with respect to travel restrictions and vaccination distribution. Consequently, the GB discussed alternative options to a ?in-person? meeting, such as conducting a ?hybrid? (part in person, part remote) and/or a virtual workshop (fully remote). However, given the community feedback obtained through our online poll, combined with the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) in Boulder and the GB assessments, it was concluded that the collaborative nature of the workshop will be greatly impacted by following these options. It was therefore decided to postpone the workshop to a ?in-person? event in 2022, while hosting a series of virtual talks throughout 2021. More information on specific dates will be shared as soon as we confirm availability with the LOC. We want to thank you all for your patience with this process. We also want to extend our utmost appreciation to the Boulder Workshop LOC for their continued support to the IGS Workshop despite the many vicissitudes in the process. Wishing you a Happy Holiday and a joyful New Year. Best wishes from your colleagues at IGS Central Bureau.
