First Champ Mission Results for Gravity, Magnetic and Atmospheric Studies

"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 to this CHAMP also measures the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere using GPS techniques." "Apart from technical information about the mission, the book offers a comprehensive insight into the present status of CHAMP data exploitation for Earth system research and practical applications in geodesy, geophysics and meteorology."--BOOK JACKET.Reigber, Christoph is the author of 'First Champ Mission Results for Gravity, Magnetic and Atmospheric Studies' with ISBN 9783540002062 and ISBN 3540002065.
