Workshop Objectives & Organisation Jérôme Benveniste ESA-ESRIN Earth Observation Science, Applications and Future Technologies Dpt

Workshop Objectives “GOCE 2014, The fifth international User Workshop” aims to present and discuss state-of-the-art discoveries in these areas: – The new GOCE science products, gravity field models and gravity gradient data sets – Cal/Val and data quality – Oceanography – Solid Earth physics – Geodesy – Aeronomy – Innovative applications beyond the original mission objectives – Science and engineering lessons from the de-orbiting and re-entry phase – Synergies with other data sets and space missions – Future gravity field mission

Workshop Objectives (2) This Workshop provides an opportunity to publicise higher-level data processing, output results, further geophysical validation and to coordinate such activities. This workshop presents a unique opportunity to – have first-hand information on latest developments – discuss the use of GOCE products for scientific research and application with your colleagues – show and discuss your latest results with the new release of GOCE products – provide recommendations to ESA for further scientific exploitation.

Discussions There are discussion times at the end of each session, animated by two moderators, to foster discussions about the GOCE Mission results and issues relevant to future developments. The discussions shall also allow ESA to capture all the participants’ recommendations for further improvement of GOCE products and encourage new algorithms and products development, (including further functionalities of the GUT). Chairs will draft a report “Summary and Recommendations”… You can help them by contributing some write-up in your own words.

The GOCE User Toolbox Demos The GOCE User Toolbox (GUT) – Get familiar with the latest version – Get acquainted with the functionalities of the GOCE User Toolbox, its Tutorial and the Group of Scientists behind it – Hands-on training opportunities all week during coffee breaks and poster session with Bruno Lucas
