چکیده
Coastal sea level variation as an indicator of climate change is extremely important due to its large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The ground-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-reflectometry (GNSS-R) becoming a reliable alternative for surface altimetry. We investigate the impact antenna polarization orientation on GNSS-R altimetric performance at different carrier frequencies. A one-year dataset observations Onsala Space Observatory using dedicated reflectometry receiver used. Interferometric patterns produced by superposition direct reflected signals are analyzed least-squares harmonic estimation (LS-HE) method retrieve height. results suggest that from positioning (GPS) L1 L2 frequencies provide similar levels accuracy. However, overall height products GPS shows slightly better more observations. combination (L12) improves accuracy up 25% 40% compared heights. impacts also evaluated. sea-looking left-handed circular (LHCP) best both zenith- right-handed (RHCP) antennas. presented averaging windows ranging 15 min 6 h.

Sea state monitoring using coastal GNSS - R
We report on a coastal experiment to study GPS L1 reflections. The campaign was carried out at the Barcelona Port breaker and dedicated to the development of sea-state retrieval algorithms. An experimental system built for this purpose collected and processed GPS data to automatically generate a times series of the interferometric complex field (ICF). The ICF was analyzed off line and compared ...
متن کاملSea Level Monitoring Using a Gnss-based Tide Gauge
A continuous monitoring of sea level changes is important for human society since more than 50% of the world’s population live within 60 km of the coast. Sea level is traditionally observed with tide gauges that give measurements relative to the Earth’s crust. To improve the understanding of sea level changes it is necessary to perform measurements with respect to the Earth’s center of gravity....

متن کاملA Gnss-based Tide Gauge for Local Sea Level Monitoring
It is important for human society to continuously monitor the sea level, since more than 50% of the world’s population live within 60 km of the coast [1]. Moreover, global climate change is believed to result in the melting of large masses of ice in Polar Regions. This will bring freshwater into the ocean [2] and thus change the sea level [3]. The traditional way to observe sea level is with ti...
