Abstract
GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) a technique for the study of variations in the height of sea level and inland waters, and for the study of soil moisture, based on the comparison of the direct and reflected noise signal. The main advantage of this method is that allows the connection between sea level measurements and the global reference frame. The purpose of this contribution is to present the GNSS-R analysis service at the Geodesy department of the National Geographic Institute of Spain and to compare the sea level time series determined by means of GNSS-R with tide gauge measurements. Two different GNSS-R methods using multi-constellation and multi-frequency data are compared: Lomb-Scargle Periodogram and Inverse Modelling. This analysis is performed for 3 GNSS antennas collocated to tide gauges along the Spanish coast. Eventually, advantages and disadvantages of this method are discussed.
