Real‐Time Water Levels Using GNSS‐IR: A Potential Tool for Flood Monitoring
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Global Navigation Satellite System Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS‐IR) using low‐cost antennas is a practical solution for monitoring water levels from rivers, lakes and seas that does not require submerging any instruments in water. Here we present a novel method for obtaining real‐time water levels using multiple low‐cost antennas that we validate by comparing with measurements from a co‐located pressure gauge at two sites with variable tides. Additionally, we use survey measurements to show that there is a site‐dependant mean bias in GNSS‐IR measurements up to a few centimeters, but this mean bias can be effectively removed by using a correction for the effect of tropospheric delay. We conclude that GNSS‐IR water level sensors could be a powerful tool for real‐time applications such as flood or storm surge monitoring and water resource management, as well as for improving the spatial coverage of sensors in remote regions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
