The objectives of this project are as follows:
- Investigate the performance of high accuracy (cm-level) positioning
and navigation using GPS carrier-phase in terms of:
- Area coverage (i.e., distance from reference stations), and
- Variability in weather conditions, in a marine environment.
- Investigate site dependent GPS effects (multipath),
- Investigate local effects associated with tides (tidal loading
and sea
surface topography),
- Investigate the seamless representation of a
vertical datum, by
integrating data from tide gauges.
