IGCP 565 Workshop 1: Science of geodetic monitoring of the hydrological cycle


The First IGCP 565 Workshop reviewed the state of the art in understanding the quantitative fluxes in the global water cycle, considered the relation between geodetic observations and mass changes in the main reservoirs of the water cycle, and clarified the open science questions that the geodetic observations can help to reconcile.

Issues that were addressed also included the modeling of the signals of water mass redistribution in the geodetic observations, the improvements in data processing and geophysical modeling inherent in geodetic analysis that are required in order to preserve the unbiased water mass signals in the geodetic observations and products, the integration of in situ and geodetic remote sensing products, and the relation between the geodetic signals and mass redistribution in the terrestrial hydrosphere.
