EGAS Home Page

Home page of the EGAS Group EGAS - The European Group of Altimetry Specialists is a group of scientists and researchers from all over Europe who are working on altimeter data for geophysical applications. We have a mailing list mantained by Delft UT/SSR&T group (have a look at their altimeter pages) whose address is egas@lr.tudelft.nl. In case you want your name to be added to the list, e-mail egas-request@lr.tudelft.nl with the text 'subscribe' in the body of the message

The European Conferences on Satellite Altimetry

The EGAS group holds every year a conference on satellite altimetry sponsored by the European Community. The general chairman of these Conferences is Trevor Guymer (E-mail: thg@soc.soton.ac.uk), and they are organized with the help of local EGAS members. Here are the WWW pages of the past years' venues, where you will find who were the attendees, what they talked about, and so on...:

First Conference - Arona (Italy), 1993
Second Conference - Athens (Greece), 7-9 November 1994
Third Conference - Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain), 20-22 November 1995
Fourth Conference - Porto (Portugal), 2-4 October 1996

And now we are accepting proposals for the 1997 Conference..... (Delft?)

We also feature here a few useful links to probe further the intriguing world of altimetry:

Graham Quartly's GASBAG page with a list of forthcoming meetings & conferences on altimetry and oceanography-related topics, as well as the abstracts of forthcoming papers in the altimetry field - it is a must!
The NASA Topex/Poseidon home page where you will find everything on one of the most successfully remote sensing instruments ever flown;
A fully comprehensive Introduction to ERS satellites, with special focus on the two altimeters on board ERS-1 and ERS-2, by Remko Scharroo and his colleagues at Delft.
The home page at SOS (Satellite Observing Systems), providing links to altimetry and other interesting satellite-related topics.

This page is mantained by Paolo Cipollini at the James Rennell Division for Ocean Circulation of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (...come and visit us!)
