The meeting stimulated a broad discussion within the international science community on the exploitation and application of the gravimetric, magnetic and atmospheric data products from these highly innovative geodetic missions in low altitude orbits. It also demonstrated the CHAMP/GRACE mission data potential for Earth system science studies when being used in combination with data from complementary remote sensing missions, aircrafts and ground instrumentation.
Conference proceedings will be published in Advances in Geosciences, a journal of the European Geosciences Union, for details go to Proceedings.
