The use of GPS buoys in the determination of oceanic variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
GPS observables taken from light-weight GPS buoys more than 80 km from the GPS reference stations have been analysed using different noise models in the parameter estimation process. The time series solution of the GPS buoy positioning have been used to extract values of oceanic variables (sea level, tides and waves) and tropospheric information. These variables are compared with data from models and with measurements from a meteorological buoy.

Modal Mapping Techniques for Geoacoustic Inversion and Source Localization in Laterally Varying, Shallow-Water Environments
An experimental technique is being developed for mapping the normal mode field and its wavenumber spectrum as a function of position in a complex, shallow-water waveguide environment whose acoustic properties vary in three spatial dimensions. By describing the spatially varying spectral content of the modal field, the method provides a direct measure of the propagation characteristics of the wa...
