海洋卫星测高新概念——GPS浮标

New Concept of Sea-Surface Height Measurement-GPS Buoy

本文首先定义 GPS测高的概念 ,然后介绍 GPS测高技术之一的浮标 GPS测高的基本原理及其应用实例 ,最后讨论浮标 GPS测高在我国的应用前景。

GPS is able to make a direct or indirect measurement of the sea-surface position. That is so-called GPS-altimetry. This paper describes the details of the method of sea-surface height measurements by GPS-buoy, and prospects the application of GPS-buoy-altimetry in China.
