OE 871 (01) - Positioning for Ocean Mapping

Position Ocean Map

Credits: 4.0
Term: Spring 2025 - Full Term (01/21/2025 - 05/05/2025)
Grade Mode: Letter Grading

Class Size: 9
CRN: 55629

Ocean mapping requires precise positioning and navigation. For this we need to precisely know Earth's shape, gravity field, and orientation in space. Data used for this purpose include satellite-based positioning, gravity measurements, and ground surveys. Reference frames can then be created allowing the integration of geometric observations for the creation of mapping products. This course will focus on this integration of measurements and the uncertainty associated to them.
