Ocean altimetry based on GNSS reflection technique is of low cost and it is easy to obtain large amounts of data thanks to the global navigation satellite constellation. We can estimate the sea surface height as well as the position of the specular reflection point. This paper focuses on the study of the algorithm to determine the specular reflection point and altimetry equations to estimate the sea surface height over the reflection region. We derive the error equation of sea surface height based on the error propagation theory. Effects of the Doppler shift and the size of the glistening zone on the altimetry are discussed and analyzed at the same time. Finally, we calculate the sea surface height based on the simulated GNSS data within the whole day and verify the sea surface height errors according to the satellite elevation angles. The results show that the sea surface height can reach the precision of 6 cm for elevation angles of 55° to 90°, and the theoretical error and the calculated error are in good agreement.展开更多

The truth lies in the fact that in the most of the times not enough attention is paid to the antenna＇s setup. Usually, gross errors are found in the antenna＇s centering, leveling and in the measurement of its height, which are significant. In this paper, a thoroughly analysis of the above mentioned errors is carried out. The influence of these errors in the calculation of the X, Y, Z Cartesian geocentric coordinates and the ~, 2, h ellipsoid geodetic coordinates of a point P on the earth＇s surface, is analyzed and is presented in several diagrams. Also a new convenient method for the accurate measurement of the antenna＇s height is presented and it is strongly proposed. The conclusions outline the magnitude of these errors and prove the significance of the antenna＇s proper setup at the accurate GNSS applications.展开更多
