Maximizing Bathymetry

Accuracy with GNSS

Tide: Techniques,
Challenges, and
Opportunities
 Introduction
This presentation will discuss the techniques,
challenges, and opportunities for maximizing
bathymetry accuracy using Global Navigation
Satellite Systems (GNSS) tide measurements.
GNSS tide is a powerful tool for improving
the accuracy of bathymetry data, and can
offer significant benefits to a wide range of
industries, including hydrographic surveying,
coastal engineering, and marine resource
management.
What is GNSS Tide?

GNSS tide refers to the use of Global

Navigation Satellite Systems to measure
water level changes over time. This
technique involves measuring the
distance between a GNSS receiver and
the water surface, and using this
information to calculate the tide height.
GNSS tide measurements can be used to
improve the accuracy of bathymetry data,
as well as to monitor sea level changes
and other oceanographic phenomena.
Benefits of GNSS Tide

GNSS tide offers several benefits over

traditional tide measurement techniques,
including higher accuracy, greater spatial
coverage, and lower cost. By using GNSS
tide measurements, bathymetry data can
be improved to a level that was previously
unattainable. This can lead to better
decision-making in a wide range of
industries, including coastal engineering,
marine resource management, and
hydrographic surveying.
Challenges of GNSS Tide
While GNSS tide offers many benefits,
there are also several challenges associated
with this technique. These include issues
related to data processing and analysis, as
well as the need for accurate positioning
information. Additionally, GNSS tide
measurements can be affected by a range
of environmental factors, such as
atmospheric conditions and water level
changes due to waves and tides.
GNSS Tide Techniques
There are several techniques that can be
used to maximize the accuracy of GNSS tide
measurements. These include using multiple
GNSS receivers to improve spatial coverage,
applying corrections for atmospheric and
other environmental effects, and using real-
time kinematic (RTK) positioning to
improve accuracy. Additionally, advanced
data processing techniques, such as Kalman
filtering and wavelet analysis, can be used
to further improve the accuracy of GNSS
tide measurements.
GNSS Tide Applications

GNSS tide has a wide range of applications,

including hydrographic surveying, coastal
engineering, and marine resource management.
In hydrographic surveying, GNSS tide
measurements can be used to improve the
accuracy of bathymetry data, while in coastal
engineering, these measurements can be used
to monitor sea level changes and other
oceanographic phenomena. In marine resource
management, GNSS tide measurements can be
used to monitor the health of marine
ecosystems and to assess the impact of human
activities on these ecosystems.
 Case Study: GNSS Tide in
Hydrographic Surveying

In hydrographic surveying, GNSS tide

measurements can be used to improve the
accuracy of bathymetry data. For example, a
recent study conducted by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) found that using GNSS tide
measurements improved the accuracy of
bathymetry data by up to 50%. This improved
accuracy can lead to better decision-making in
a range of industries, including offshore oil and
gas exploration, marine transportation, and
coastal engineering.
Case Study: GNSS Tide in Coastal
Engineering

In coastal engineering, GNSS tide

measurements can be used to monitor sea level
changes and other oceanographic phenomena.
For example, a recent study conducted by the
United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) found that using GNSS tide
measurements improved the accuracy of sea
level change predictions by up to 30%. This
improved accuracy can help coastal engineers
design more effective coastal protection
measures and mitigate the impacts of sea level
rise.
Future of GNSS Tide
The future of GNSS tide looks bright, with
ongoing research and development aimed at
improving the accuracy and reliability of this
technique. In particular, advancements in
GNSS receiver technology, data processing
techniques, and environmental modeling are
expected to lead to further improvements in
the accuracy of GNSS tide measurements. As
a result, GNSS tide is likely to become an
increasingly important tool for a wide range
of industries in the coming years.
 Conclusion
In conclusion, GNSS tide is a powerful tool for maximizing
bathymetry accuracy. While there are several challenges
associated with this technique, the benefits of using GNSS
tide measurements are significant, and include higher
accuracy, greater spatial coverage, and lower cost. As a result,
GNSS tide is likely to become an increasingly important tool
for a wide range of industries in the coming years.
