  Combined Sea Surface Determination Based on Various Geometric and Dynamic Techniques
 
 
Title: Combined Sea Surface Determination Based on Various Geometric and Dynamic Techniques
Author: Groten, Erwin
Muller, Tilman
Appeared in: Marine geodesy
Paging: Volume 14 (1990) nr. 3-4 pages 185-195
Year: 1990-07
Contents: The combined use of Global Positioning System (GPS) differential positioning as well as ERS-1 altimeter data is considered in implementing geodetic vertical datums and their unification. The article describes concepts, techniques, practical realization, and associated questions and problems. Particular aspects in view of small sea surface perturbations in offshore areas in determining sea surface components (variable and steady state) are discussed. The combinations of tide gauge data with altimetry and (mainly) GPS positioning for geodetic purposes are discussed in detail. Special attention is devoted to the associated reference systems as well as to the combination of dynamic (level and nonlevel surfaces) with geometric quantities. The discussion is based on a specific ERS-1 project supported by the National Science Foundation. Implications and practical impact of the project are outlined.
