PREFACE
This report gives an outline of the advances made in the field of geodesy in China during the four-year period of 1999-2002. It includes the following contents:
£¨1£©Progress in space geodesy techniques such as satellite positioning, SLR,VLBI measurement and satellite altimetry and their applications in geodynamics research such as plate movement measurement, inner-plate deformation monitoring, earth rotation change and sea level change.
£¨2£©Gravity measurement and partial gravity field refining in China.
£¨3£©Partial Geoid refining in China.
£¨4£©Superconductive gravity measurement and the research on terrestrial tide.
£¨5£©Ocean geodesy in China.
£¨6£©Advances made in data processing in China.The current report is published only in CD.
