Using the Global Navigation Satellite System-Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) technique to detect sea-level changes in Singapore : a feasibility study
The Global Navigation Satellite System-Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) is an emerging sea-level monitoring technique which uses signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis to provide relative sea-level measurements using GNSS signals reflected from the water surface. In several studies, it has been...

The Global Navigation Satellite System-Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) is an emerging sea-level monitoring technique which uses signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis to provide relative sea-level measurements using GNSS signals reflected from the water surface. In several studies, it has been proven that results obtained from GNSS-IR are comparable with traditional tide gauges. However, this method has not previously been explored in Singapore’s context. In this study, which is the first of its kind in Singapore, we analyse GNSS data from two reference stations, namely Sultan Shoal (SSTS) and National Sailing Centre (SNSC). Using the data, we estimate reflector heights and relative sea-level changes. We then validate the technique by comparing the measurements to nearby tide-gauge records.
