The continuously operating GPS stations of The Princess of Acadia project, especially the Coast Guard station in Saint John, New Brunswick and the station Digby in Halifax, Nova Scotia, both of which lie in the proximity of highly turbulent waters of Bay of Fundy, are subjected to perpetual movements due to temporally oceanic water mass surface loading of the lithosphere by the ocean tides. If the affects of ocean tide loading are not taken into consideration they can affect high- accuracy positioning especially in the final solutions for height. It is proposed under this project that ocean tidal loading studies be carried out in the area using atleast 1 year of GPS data with varying data processing sessions. Time series would then be extracted from discrete 24-hour solutions for ocean tide loading studies. Data collection in this regard is already in progress and 3 hr and 24 hr solutions are being extracted, cleaned and processed using DIPOP 3.1 software. The role of the tropospheric delay and its effect on height estimates when ocean tide loading effects, whether modeled or ignored, would also be investigated.
