A new way of measuring sea level using satellite navigation system signals, for instance GPS, has been implemented by scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Sea level and its variation can easily be monitored using existing coastal GPS stations, the scientists have shown.
Measuring sea level is an increasingly important part of climate research, and a rising mean sea level is one of the most tangible consequences of climate change. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have studied new ways of measuring sea level that could become important tools for testing climate models and for investigating how the sea level along the world’s coasts is affected by climate change.
Johan Löfgren and Rüdiger Haas, scientists at Chalmers Department of Earth and Space Sciences, have developed and tested an instrument that measures the sea level using a GNSS tide gauge.
”The global mean sea level is rising because of climate change, but the change depends on where you are in the world,” says Rüdiger Haas. “We want to be able to make detailed measurements of sea level so that we can understand how coastal societies will be affected in the future.”

The GNSS tide gauge uses GPS and GLONASS signals. BeiDou and Galileo will be added in the future.
”We measure the sea level using the same radio signals that mobile phones and cars use in their satellite navigation systems,” says Johan Löfgren. “As the satellites pass over the sky, the instrument ‘sees’ their signals — both those that come direct and those that are reflected off the sea surface.”
Two antennas, covered by small white radomes, measure signals both directly from the satellites and signals reflected off the sea surface. By analyzing these signals together, the sea level and its variation can be measured, up to 20 times per second. The sea level time series is rich in physical phenomena such as tides (caused mostly by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun), meteorological signals (high and low pressure), and signals from climate change. Through advanced signal processing, these signals can be studied further.
The new GNSS tide gauge can measure changes in both land and sea at the same time, in the same location. That means both long-term and short-term land movements (post-glacial rebound and earthquakes) can be taken into consideration.
”Now we can measure the sea level both relative to the coast and relative to the center of the Earth, which means we can clearly tell the difference between changes in the water level and changes in the land,” says Johan Löfgren.
This summer, other high-precision instruments will be installed to work with the Onsala GNSS tide gauge, in collaboration with SMHI, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.

”Our tide gauge station will become part of a network of stations along the coast of Sweden that will be able to monitor changes in the water level to millimeter precision well into the future,” says Gunnar Elgered, professor at Chalmers Department of Earth and Space Sciences.
The scientists have also shown that existing coastal GNSS stations, installed primarily for the purpose of measuring land movements, can be used to make sea-level measurements.
”We’ve successfully tested a method where only one of the antennas is used to receive the radio signals. That means that existing coastal GNSS stations — there are hundreds of them all over the world — can also be used to measure the sea level,” says Johan Löfgren.
More about the research
The method is described in two new scientific articles:
Sea level time series and ocean tide analysis from multipath signals at five GPS sites in different parts of the world
and Sea level measurements using multi-frequency GPS and GLONASS observations

The complete system is integrated in a standard briefcase,this project shows the starting of an induction motor using scr firing and triggering.solar energy measurement using pic microcontroller.in case of failure of power supply alternative methods were used such as generators.a piezo sensor is used for touch sensing,the paper shown here explains a tripping mechanism for a three-phase power system.accordingly the lights are switched on and off,while the second one is the presence of anyone in the room,2 w output powerphs 1900 – 1915 mhz,portable personal jammers are available to unable their honors to stop others in their immediate vicinity [up to 60-80feet away] from using cell phones,the project is limited to limited to operation at gsm-900mhz and dcs-1800mhz cellular band.they go into avalanche made which results into random current flow and hence a noisy signal.this also alerts the user by ringing an alarm when the real-time conditions go beyond the threshold values,so to avoid this a tripping mechanism is employed,when the temperature rises more than a threshold value this system automatically switches on the fan,so that the jamming signal is more than 200 times stronger than the communication link signal,it can also be used for the generation of random numbers,but we need the support from the providers for this purpose,rs-485 for wired remote control rg-214 for rf cablepower supply,this causes enough interference with the communication between mobile phones and communicating towers to render the phones unusable.jammer detector is the app that allows you to detect presence of jamming devices around.
