20 Commission 1 – Reference Frames
At the workshop of the SIRGAS Working Group 1 in Rio
de Janeiro, August 16-18, 2006, it was decided to install
Experimental Analysis Centers (EAC) for SIRGAS under
the responsibility of Latin American institutions. The test
phase of the one-year experiment has started in October,
2006 in order to prove the operational capacity of the
EAC’s to provide weekly coordinate solutions and to
support the IGS RNAAC SIR processing.
Reference Frame for Antarctica (SCAR)
The objective of IAG Sub-Commission 1.3f is the definition,
realization and maintenance of the reference frame
for Antarctica (DIETRICH 2005).
The SCAR GPS Campaigns 2004 and 2005 were carried
out in the Australian summers 2004 and 2005. All together,
the data of 36 sites are now collected in the SCAR GPS
database with the year 1995. The new as well the existing
data were reanalysed with the Bernese Software, Version
5.0. First results were presented at the XXVIII. SCAR
Metting in Bremen (Germany) in July 2004.
For the ITRF2005 a densification solution for Antarctica
was computed and submitted to the IERS Central Bureau
at February 28th , 2005. The solution contains 31 IGS sites
and 27 SCAR Campaign sites.
During the XXVIII. SCAR meeting in Bremen the members
of the IAG Sub-Commission 1.3f met and discussed the
working plan of the SCAR Group of Experts on Geodetic
Infrastructure in Antarctica (GIANT) and fixed it for the
years 2004 until 2006. R. DIETRICH (TU Dresden) was
selected as new chairman of GIANT. The members of
GIANT represent the SC-1.3f.
The International Polar Year 2007/2008 will be an intensive
period of scientific activities in the polar regions. It is
organized jointly by ICSU and WMO, and a broad range
of coordinated, international projects are in preparation. The
SC-1.3f will actively participate in the frame of the project
POLENET (Pole Earth Observing Network).
