General Information

• Sorry, the absolute deadline for receipt of abstract was 15 January 2003, 24:00 GMT. 
  


• In case of an emergency, contact the corresponding Convener(s), who will now finalize his/her (their) Session(s)/Event(s) (further upload, acceptance/rejection/transfer of papers and compilation of oral-poster sessions) before the Programme Committee will finalize the overall programme of the Assembly.
  


• Payment of abstract fees is, in general, by invoice; however, you also may login yourself into COSIS (www.cosis.net), click "Membership, Subscriptions + Accounts" in the "Personal Records" Box on your Personal COSIS Home Site and study your accounts/account history with regards to abstract fees.

Abstract Publication

• The abstracts of a Session/Event accepted by the corresponding Session/Event Organizers or the Programme Committee, will be uploaded for the public in a citable, journal-style format of the journal 'Geophysical Research Abstracts' (GRA) under the heading "Accepted Contributions" below the respective title of the session title in the conference programme. This will happen between 28 January - 03 February 2003.
  
  
• Once the final conference programme has been finalized by 17 February 2003, the abstracts will be published in the Abstract Book CD-ROM 'Geophysical Research Abstracts' Volume 5, 2003.
  
  
• Abstracts submitted by the ASCII/LaTeX Form are ready for publication straight away, since only the author has been responsible for their content.
  
  
• Abstracts submitted by the DOC-upload Form, by e-mail or by Hard Copy have been edited by the Conference Secretariat. Authors of such abstracts are kindly invited to proof-read their abstracts under "Accepted Contributions" and inform the Secretariat by 14 February 2003 at the very latest about any mistakes that may have been introduced into their text because of the composing/editing procedure (egs.abstracts@copernicus.org). Please, state the Abstract Number! No changes or additions to the abstract as such!
  
  
• Abstracts submitted or uploaded by the Session/Event Organizer without any abstract, i.e. by session - and - title only, can be recognized by their Abstract Number not being "active" for the selection of the text of the abstract or by the insert "Text of abstract not available". Only authors of such papers may submit their abstracts with the ASCII/LaTeX Form only by a full COSIS login and by providing the Abstract Number. The deadline for this option is 14 February 2003. An abstract fee of 15 EUR will be levied.
  
• Finally, any author may change his/her abstract with the ASCII/LaTeX Abstract Update/Correction Form until 14 February 2003. If only the Submittal Information is changed, no abstract fee will be levied; however, for any changes concerning the abstract, an abstract fee of 15,- EUR will be charged. Only changes in the sense of a "galley-proof" will be allowed but not fundamental changes regarding the content of the abstract.
