Can We Measure Sea Level With a Tablet Computer?
Journal article, 2020
Modern mobile phones and tablet computers can have the capacity to store raw Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data for further processing. With a short proof-of-concept campaign, we show that such data, recorded with a tablet computer, can be used to measure the sea level using GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R). The results suggest that the tablet computer performs on a similar level as more high-end, geodetic-quality equipment.
