Geodetic Contribution of RTNGeodetic Contribution of RTNIAG'sIAG's Global Geodetic Observing SystemGlobal Geodetic Observing System

GGOS is the Global Geodetic Observing System of the GGOS is the Global Geodetic Observing System of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). It provides International Association of Geodesy (IAG). It provides observations of the three fundamental geodetic observables observations of the three fundamental geodetic observables and their variations, that is, the and their variations, that is, the Earth's shape, the Earth's Earth's shape, the Earth's gravity field and the Earth's rotational motiongravity field and the Earth's rotational motion. .

GGOS integrates different geodetic techniques, different GGOS integrates different geodetic techniques, different models, different approaches in order to ensure a longmodels, different approaches in order to ensure a long--term, precise monitoring of the geodetic observables in term, precise monitoring of the geodetic observables in agreement with the Integrated Global Observing Strategy agreement with the Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS). GGOS provides the observational basis to (IGOS). GGOS provides the observational basis to maintain a stable, accurate and global reference framemaintain a stable, accurate and global reference frameand in this function is crucial for all Earth observation and and in this function is crucial for all Earth observation and many practical applications. many practical applications.

GGOS contributes to the emerging Global Earth Observing GGOS contributes to the emerging Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) not only with the accurate System of Systems (GEOSS) not only with the accurate reference frame required for many components of GEOSS reference frame required for many components of GEOSS but also with but also with observations related to the global observations related to the global hydrological cycle, the dynamics of atmosphere and hydrological cycle, the dynamics of atmosphere and oceans, and natural hazards and disastersoceans, and natural hazards and disasters.. GGOS acts GGOS acts as the interface between the geodetic services and external as the interface between the geodetic services and external users such as GEOSS, IGOSusers such as GEOSS, IGOS--P, and United Nations P, and United Nations authorities. A major goal is to ensure the interoperability of authorities. A major goal is to ensure the interoperability of the services and GEOSS. the services and GEOSS.
