GNSS-BASED REAL-TIME HIGH-PRECISION WAVE MEASUREMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS

A new GNSS-based real-time high-precision wave measurement method, wherein the GNSS phase, pseudo-range, Doppler frequency shift observations and broadcast ephemerides are collected by a GNSS receiver, and antenna carried by a sea surface carrier; the three-dimensional speeds of a carrier are acquired using an epoch difference of phase observations; and wave element information are then solved. The wave element information can also be obtained by integrating the speeds for a certain duration and removing a linear trend term to obtain a time-dependent displacement variations. No additional precise differential correction is needed, thereby saving on service costs and communication costs of precise differential corrections. High-precision wave element information is obtained in real time, and locally stored in a buoy or periodically returned by communication, thereby expanding the working range of GNSS-based ocean wave measurement.
