Heave compensation using time-differenced carrier observations from low cost GPS receivers

Vertical reference for hydrographic survey can be provided in two ways: through the use of an expensive and very accurate GPS-aided INS system, or through the classical method of compensating for heave motion measured on board the vessel and tide data taken from a nearby tide gauge.
