The future Global Geodetic Observing System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Global Geodetic Observing System

In this Chapter, we focus on the design of the geodetic observing system that will meet the specifications summarized in Section 7.7 and be able to sustain the products listed in Section 7.5. Thus, this Chapter treats GGOS as an observing system (see Section 1.3 for a discussion of the two different meanings of “GGOS”). In Chapter 10, the main focus will be on GGOS as an organization and the integration of GGOS in the global context of Earth observation.
