Abstract
A GPS altimetric experiment from a cliff over Crater Lake in Oregon shows cm-level determination of the lake surface height. This experiment serves to test the limiting accuracy of air- and spaceborne GPS altimetric remote sensing. It also suggests the feasibility of accurate, ground-based GPS altimetric coastal monitoring, which is difficult for spaceborne techniques
