        Title:   High Frequency Oscillations of Earth Rotation
        Author:  B. Kolaczek, H.Schuh and D. Gambis 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: Invitation to submit contributions to IERS Technical Note
on "High Frequency Oscillations of Earth Rotation" 

Dear Colleagues,

At the EGS meeting held in Den Haag in May 1999, it was envisaged to collect 
the papers presented at the Session G18 on "High Frequency Oscillations
of Earth Rotation" in order to publish them in the IERS Technical Note Series.

This Technical Note will be edited by Drs. B.Kolaczek, H.Schuh and D.Gambis.
Papers presented at this Session concerned last achievements of studies on 
High frequency oscillations of Earth rotation.

Main topics of papers were as follows:

- Daily, subdaily and short-period oscillations of Earth rotation determined
  from VLBI and GPS observations,
- Short-period oscillations of atmospheric and oceanic angular momentum 
  excitation functions,
- Nutation series with microarcsecond accuracy and subdiurnal periods,
- Wavelet and Fourier Transform Band Pass Filter methods applied to 
  analysis of short-period oscillations of Earth rotation.  


Invited and contributed papers ought to contain not more than 6 and 
4 pages, respectively, in the format accepted by the IERS TN and joined 
thereafter.
The contributions may contain technical details that are not always included 
in other publications; thus participation in the IERS Technical Note series 
does not preclude submitting related publications elsewhere.  
Even very short contributions are welcome, such as abstracts of work 
presented.

Please let us know by 30 September 1999 if you intend to submit a 
contribution to this IERS Technical Note, and send a tentative title 
to gambis@obspm.fr.

We ask that contributions be submitted until 30th of November 1999.
 
Thank you very much for your interest.

B. Kolaczek, H.Schuh and D. Gambis
