Offshore Sea Level Measurement with Multi Constellation Differential GNSS: The benefit of Galileo in a maritime scientific application

This paper describes the results of a recently carried out experiment in the Mediterranean Sea. The objective of the campaign was to demonstrate the feasibility of using a low cost DGNSS based sensor to measure and ultimately monitor in real-time the sea level. As the distance from the coast increases, the target application of predicting anomalous waves and alerting the population becomes more and more realistic. The instrument builds on Galileo-capable single frequency GNSS receivers and ISM band radio transceivers used in combination with open source RTK software.
