Conveners: B. Arbesser-Rastburg, M. Hernandez-Pajares, Summary: Precise GNSS positioning is affected by both ionospheric and tropospheric delays, which can be very significant. The session is addressing this interdisciplinary field of research, inviting submissions on recent improvements in mitigating the ionospheric and tropospheric effects on precision GNSS. Carrier phase positioning and ambiguity fixing in RTK and TCAR and the operation of SBAS systems such as WAAS and EGNOS are important topics. Papers on supporting techniques such as data combination, assimilation, improvements in mapping functions and tomography would also be welcome. In addition techniques which are counteracting the effects of scintillations for precision GNSS applications can be considered. General information about URSI GA can be found at: http://www.ece.uic.edu/2008ursiga/ You can submit your paper through the following webpage. http://www.ece.uic.edu/2008ursiga/Technical%20Activities/Paper%20Submission.html The abstract submission deadline is January 31, 2008. Notification of authors of final decisions on their papers, indicating rejection, or oral or poster sessions will be on March 31, 2008.
