In recent years, we are witnessing rapid development in the satellite-based navigation and positioning systems. Next to the modernization of the GPS dual-frequency signals to the triple-frequency signals, the GLONASS satellites have been revitalized and become fully operational. The new global and regional satellite constellations are also joining the family of the navigation systems. These additions are the two global systems of Galileo and BeiDou satellites as well as the two regional systems of QZSS and IRNSS satellites. This namely means that many more satellites will be visible to the GNSS users, transmitting data on many more frequencies than the current GPS dual-frequency setup, thereby expecting considerable improvement in the performance of the positioning and non-positioning GNSS applications.

Advancements in the Global Geodetic Observation System (GGOS), and terrestrial, aerial and marine geodetic observations have enabled us to monitor deformation, rotation and gravity field variations of the Earth with the unprecedented accuracy, which are caused by geophysical phenomena having various space-time scales. In addition, recent developments of global networks for solid-Earth observations and technologies for laboratory experiments have allowed us to obtain higher-quality and finer-resolution geophysical data for elasticity, density, viscosity, pressure, electromagnetic and thermal structures, etc., reflecting three dimensional heterogeneities in the internal Earth.  
  
Such a proliferation of multi-system, multi-frequency data demands rigorous theoretical frameworks, models and algorithms that enable the near-future multiple GNSSs to serve as a high-accuracy and high-integrity tool for the Earth-, atmospheric- and space-sciences. For instance, recent studies have revealed the existence of non-zero inter-system and inter-system-type biases that, if ignored, result in a catastrophic failure of integer ambiguity resolution, thus deteriorating the corresponding ambiguity resolved solutions. The availability of the new multi-system, multi-frequency data does therefore appeal proper mathematical models so as to enable one to correctly integrate such data, thus correctly linking the data to the estimable parameters of interest.

The improved geodetic and geophysical data motivate us to interpret the various phenomena, based on dynamic modelling. Through the modelling, we are able to identify the causes of the detected space-time variations and to deepen the understanding of the phenomena. Furthermore, it would help appeal the usefulness of GGOS.

Introduction

Advancements in the Global Geodetic Observation System (GGOS), and terrestrial, aerial and marine geodetic observations have enabled us to monitor deformation, rotation and gravity field variations of the Earth with the unprecedented accuracy, which are caused by geophysical phenomena having various space-time scales. In addition, recent developments of global networks for solid-Earth observations and technologies for laboratory experiments have allowed us to obtain higher-quality and finer-resolution geophysical data for elasticity, density, viscosity, pressure, electromagnetic and thermal structures, etc., reflecting three dimensional heterogeneities in the internal Earth.

The improved geodetic and geophysical data motivate us to interpret the various phenomena, based on dynamic modelling. Through the modelling, we are able to identify the causes of the detected space-time variations and to deepen the understanding of the phenomena. Furthermore, it would help appeal the usefulness of GGOS. This JSG consists of scientists working on dynamic modelling using diverse approaches. The targets of the modelling include local, regional and global variations which occur near the surface down to the inner core. To share different perspectives for modelling stimulates the activities of each member and can produce and/or evolve collaborative studies. For which reason, we form a forum within the ICCT.
