Abstract
We describe the final results of the Baltic Sea Level (BSL). 1997 GPS campaign and the combination of three successive BSL campaigns. Because the last campaign was made simultaneously with the EUVN (European Vertical Reference Network) GPS campaign, we were able to obtain a well-defined connection between the two networks. Combining tide gauge data and a gravimetric precise geoid model, we recomputed the Sea Surface Topography (SST) of the Baltic Sea with a better accuracy than before. We also used satellite altimetry data to obtain detailed spatial and temporal information of the SST.
