Dear Colleagues:
We inform you that from 25-26 September 2012, in conjunction with the
ESA/CNES/NASA conference on "20 years of Progress in Radar altimetry",
we will hold the IDS workshop in Venice, Italy.
The venue is the "Venice Convention Centre, Palazzo del Casino" on the
island of Lido, facing the city of Venice.
The abstract deadline is May 16, 2012 and abstracts are submitted
through the IDS workshop website:
http://ids-doris.org/abstract-submission-form.htmlInformation about the meeting venue, logistical information, and
details about the concurrent ESA conference and subsequent
OSTST meeting are available at the URL:
http://www.altimetry2012.orgThe IDS workshop will provide a forum to review the progress in the
DORIS technique and provide perspectives for the contributions of DORIS
to GGOS.
Topics that are of particular interest are:
* the status of analyses by the DORIS analysis centers,
* the contribution of new DORIS satellites
(including Jason-2,Cryosat-2, SARAL/Altika),
* and the progress in DORIS analyses since the construction of the
IDS combination to ITRF2008.
We also welcome papers that describe the progress of the activities
pertaining to the DORIS operational combination.
POD modelling issues related to radiation pressure, atmospheric drag,
geocenter motion model, tropospheric delay and mapping functions, and
phase center position errors, affect the quality of the DORIS products.
Papers that review progress in these areas will be especially welcome.
DORIS being a dual-frequency radio technique, provides a mean to sound
the ionosphere, we welcome papers that use or compare the DORIS
measurements with models or to calibrate the performance of satellite
radar altimeters or make other uses of these ionosphere data.
Finally the DORIS workshop will provide a forum to discuss IDS Combined
products and multi-technique (SLR, GPS, VLBI) combinations involving
DORIS data, and synergies and comparisons of DORIS products with those
of other
techniques.
In the context of GGOS, the design of a next generation station including
DORIS and all the geodetic techniques, and how they may all successfully
co-habitate at a single geodetic site is also an appropriate topic for
this workshop.
Participation:
---------------
IDS contributors are invited to submit a presentation (oral or poster)
to the IDS workshop for presenting results in relation with topics such as:
* System: satellites, network, system improvements, new data
format, future missions
* IDS: organization, analysis coordination, analysis centers, data
centers and data flow
* Geodesy, Reference frame, Earth's rotation
* Precise Orbit Determination
* Geophysics, atmospheric sciences (troposphere and ionosphere)
* New DORIS applications & products
The Scientific Committee will draw up a programme and an agenda at a
later stage, according to the submitted abstracts.
IDS Scientific Committee:
Frank G. Lemoine (chair), Pascale Ferrage, Michiel Otten, Laurent
Soudarin, John Ries, Pascal Willis.
