Reference Frames: Determination, Usage, and Application

Session ID#: 119607

Session Description:
The quantification of many geophysical phenomena, e.g. sea
level variation, co-and post-seismic deformation, glacial
isostatic adjustment, loading effects, but also precise orbit
determination of artificial satellites, rely on the
availability of a global terrestrial reference frame, such as
the ITRF. The session solicits contributions from scientists
determining or using global reference frames for their
applications, focusing on error budgets and other limiting
factors. Papers from analysts of space geodetic techniques
(VLBI, SLR, GNSS, DORIS) and their combination on their
contribution to or evaluation of ITRF2020, are most welcome.
Papers on the exploitation of previous ITRF solutions and the
new ITRF2020 realizations are also encouraged.
