Abstract
Significant wave height (SWH) is a crucial parameter that characterizes oceanic wave behavior, playing a pivotal role in oceanic research and disaster management strategies. Currently, the observation of SWH predominantly relies on both buoy and spaceborne microwave remote sensing techniques. However, these techniques face challenges when applied in coastal regions. Addressing this issue, this study introduces an innovative approach leveraging reflected signals to estimate SWH based on coastal Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations. We establish a model for wave height retrieval by examining the temporal variation in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data related to SWH, drawing upon the GNSS interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) method for SWH retrieval. Experimental findings highlight the efficacy of the multisystem GNSS-IR SWH inversion. It demonstrates an accuracy of 12 cm, coupled with an average temporal resolution of 29 min, and exhibits a strong correlation coefficient of 0.95 when compared to ocean buoy measurements. The deployment of coastal GNSS stations emerges as a promising source for obtaining true and reliable data on coastal SWH.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
