Title First CHAMP Mission Results for Gravity, Magnetic and Atmospheric Studies Author(s) Reigber, Christoph;L??hr, Hermann;Schwintzer, Peter Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. Description XIII, 563 p : online resource Abstract Note In the summer of 2000 the German geo-research satellite CHAMP was launched into orbit. Its innovative payload arrangement and the low intial orbit allow CHAMP to simultaneously collect and almost continuously analyse precise data relating to gravity and magnetic fields at low altitude. In addition to this CHAMP also measures the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere using GPS techniques. Eighteen months after the launch, CHAMP research groups from all over the world met at the Geo-Forschungs-Zentrum in Potsdam for an initial exchange of experiences and results. The main outcome of this user meeting is summarized in this volume. Apart from technical information about the mission, the book offers a comprehensive insight into the present status of CHAMP data exploitation for Earth system research and practical applications in geodesy, geophysics and meteorology ISBN,Price 9783540383666 Keyword(s) 1.
