Zusammenfassung |
This paper introduces a potential method for the remote sensing of sea
surface salinity (SSS) using the measured propagation delay of low-frequency
Loran-C signals transmitted over an all-seawater path between the Sylt
station in Germany and an integrated Loran-C/GPS receiver located in
Harwich, UK. The overall delay variations in Loran-C surface waves along the
path may be explained by changes in sea surface properties (especially the
temperature and salinity), as well as atmospheric properties that determine
the refractive index of the atmosphere. After removing the atmospheric and
sea surface temperature (SST) effects from the measured delay, the residual
delay revealed a temporal variation similar to that of SSS data obtained by
the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS)
satellite. |
