Sea level observations using multi-system GNSS reflectometry

چکیده
Information on sea level and its changes are important in connection to global climate change processes. For centuries, sea level has been observed with coastal tide gauges and since some decades with satellite altimetry. Furthermore, during recent years the application of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reflectometry, also known as GNSS-R, for sea level observations has been developed, see e.g., Martin-Neira M. (1993), Lowe et al. (2002), Gleason et al. (2005), Löfgren et al. (2011a,b; 2014), Larson et al. (2013a,b), and Löfgren & Haas (2014). Various methods exist, using ground-based, airborne and space-borne systems, and using different analysis methods. We present results from a dedicated GNSS tide gauge installed at the Onsala Space Observatory at the Swedish west coast. This installation consists of commercially-off-the-shelf GNSS equipment, including geodetic-type choke-ring antennas and geodetic-type receivers and allows for analysis using both phase and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) data.

Sea surface topography retrieved from GNSS reflectometry phase data of the GEOHALO flight mission
Sea surface topography observations are deduced from an airborne reflectometry experiment. A GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver dedicated for reflectometry was set up aboard the German HALO (High Altitude Long Range) research aircraft. Flights were conducted over the Mediterranean Sea about 3500m above sea level. A signal path model divided into largeand small-scale contribution...

In this study the focus is on ocean surface altimetry using the signals transmitted from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellites. A low-altitude airborne experiment was recently conducted off the coast of Sydney. Both a LiDAR experiment and a GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) experiment were carried out in the same aircraft, at the same time, in the presence of strong wind and rather hig...

An analysis of spaceborne Global Positioning System reflectometry (GPS-R) data from the TechDemoSat-1 (TDS-1) satellite is carried out to image the ocean sea surface height (SSH). An SSH estimation algorithm is applied to GPS-R delay waveforms over two regions in the South Atlantic and the North Pacific. Estimatesmade fromTDS-1 overpasses during a 6month period are aggregated to produce SSHmaps...
