immediately following the 1996 General Assembly. The general Commission F
meeting between assemblies was the Commission F Open Symposium, held in
Ahmedabad, India, in November 1995. Other meetings were more specialized.
Commission F, as usual, co-sponsored with IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Society the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposia
(IGARSS), the largest remote-sensing meetings. IGARSS94, held in
Pasadena, California, and b, held in Lincoln, Nebraska, were co-sponsored by
the U. S. Commission F. IGARSS95 was in Florence, Italy. These
meetings continue to draw more than 1000 papers.
Meetings primarily sponsored by Commission F were :
- Electromagnetic Scattering from Gases and Plasmas, Aussois, France, 20-25
March 1994.
- Specialist Meeting on Microwave Remote Sensing, Lawrence, Kansas, USA, 17-20
May 1994.
- CLIMPARA 94, Moscow, Russia, 31 May- 3 June 1994
