Posted through the URSI-Commission-G Mailing List: EGU2010 CALL FOR PAPERS

[giorgiana de franceschi]

*REMINDER!*
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that the  "*call for papers*" is open for the 
next  *EGU General Assembly 2010 (Vienna, 02-07 May 2010)*. In 
particular I would like to invite you to submit an abstract (*deadline 
18 January 2010)* to the following Session:

*ST3.5: IONOSPHERIC THREATS TO GNSS BASED SYSTEMS IN VIEW OF THE NEXT SOLAR MAXIMUM*
Convener: G. De Franceschi
Co-Conveners: A. Bourdillon, J. Laštovièka, M. Aquino
Link: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/2735

For your convenience you will find below the *Session details*:
The coming years will see great reliance on Global Navigation Satellite 
Systems (GNSS) underpinning many aspects of modern technological 
infrastructure. Europe will shortly launch its own system, Galileo, with 
applications ranging from precision navigation and surveying to safety 
of life services, telecoms, and power generation/distribution. However, 
GNSS signals are vulnerable to ionospheric disturbances that are 
greatest around solar maximum (next ~2012). Communications (satellite 
and HF), remote sensing and Earth observation systems are also affected. 
This symposium is focused on presenting measurement results and 
interpretation (particularly TEC and scintillations), modelling and 
simulation of ionospheric processes, error mitigation techniques, 
ionospheric imaging, addressed to improve ionospheric information for 
the advanced terrestrial and space-based systems and to help to protect 
technological systems from the ionospheric threats posed by the 
forthcoming solar maximum.

Waiting to see you at the Session,
Best Wishes
Giorgiana
