Earth Observation with Champ : Results from Three Years in Orbit Hardback
Edited by Christoph Reigber, Hermann Luhr, Peter Schwintzer, Jens Wickert
Hardback
Description
In the summer of 2000 the German geo-research satellite CHAMP was launched into orbit.
Its innovative payload arrangement and the low initial orbit allow CHAMP to simultaneously collect and almost continuously analyse precise data relating to gravity and magnetic fields at low altitude.
In addition, CHAMP also measures the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere using GPS techniques.
Three years after launch, more than 200 CHAMP investigators and co-investigators from all over the world met at the GeoForschungsZentrum in Potsdam to present and discuss the results derived from the extensive data sets of the mission.
The main outcome of this expert meeting is summarized in this volume.
The book offers a comprehensive insight into the present status of the exploitation of CHAMP data for Earth system research and practical applications in geodesy, geophysics and meteorology.
