GGOS Bureau of Products and Standards: Description and Promotion of Geodetic Products

Abstract The Bureau of Products and Standards (BPS) is a key component the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) International Association Geodesy (IAG). It supports GGOS in its goal to provide consistent geodetic products needed monitor, map, understand changes Earth’s shape, rotation, gravity field. In present structure, two Committees “Earth Modeling” “Essential Variables” as well Working Group “Towards set parameters for definition new Reference (GRS)” are associated BPS. This paper presents structure role BPS it highlights some recent activities. A major focus on classification description their representation at renewed website ( http://www.ggos.org ). serves an “entrance door” satisfy different user needs communities (e.g., geodesists, geophysicists, other geosciences further customers) order make geodesy more visible disciplines society.
