Assessing environmental changes with GNSS reflectometry : An innovative geodetic tool for modelling sea level variations

• The utilization of remote sensing observations to monitor essential climate variables (ECVs) has become increasingly important in studying their regional and global impacts, as defined by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Understanding the Earth’s surface conditions, including soil moisture runoff, snow, temperature, precipitation, water vapour, radiation, groundwater and sea surface height (SSH), can positively impact the environment and ecosystems. Here, the authors present an overview of how global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) can be employed for environmental monitoring, with a particular focus on sea surface height monitoring. This includes examination of the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing a network of permanent GNSS stations for monitoring sea level rise along shorelines.
