Kind regards, Ramon Hanssen European Geophysical Society 27th General Assembly Nice, France, 21-26 April 2002 Session: G7. 'Probing the atmosphere with geodetic techniques' Joint session in the Geodesy and Atmospheric Sciences Programmes (Ramon Hanssen and Steven Businger, convenors) Advances in space-geodetic techniques such as GPS, InSAR, and VLBI in terms of accuracy and reliability enable the interpretation of the observed spatially or temporally varying atmospheric delay for meteorological purposes. The increased number of continuous space-geodetic networks and the availability of processed data in near real-time, allows for the utilization of such observations in numerical weather prediction. Current progress towards near real-time processing and slant-delay estimation techniques provide promise for operational meteorology. Moreover, high resolution SAR data and GPS time-series data afford special opportunities for meteorological analysis. In this session, we seek contributions that discuss issues related to the synergy between meteorology and geodesy in this fast maturing multidisciplinary field. Papers dealing with the delay data accuracy, interpretation, and representation, as well as those dealing with data latency and assimilation (e.g., 3D/4D variational assimilation), and weather analysis are encouraged. We would like to stimulate contributions from both the meteorological and the geodetic community to present a balanced program. Deadline for receipt of abstracts is January 11, 2002 Information on abstract submission, program, and venue, see: http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/EGS.html
