Ocean mapping necessitates accurate positioning and navigation, which, in turn, rely on a comprehensive grasp of measurement methodologies. This course will comprehensively examine various positioning techniques, including spirit leveling, total stations, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), inertial navigation systems (INS), and underwater acoustic positioning systems. Emphasis will be placed on the observational methodologies associated with each technology, along with the propagation of observation uncertainty.
