Conclusion and Outlook: • Although the measurement were made under challenging conditions we could reach a correlation of 0.84 with the data recorded from a gauge instrument • GNSS-R could contribute to monitor water level changes of the Mekong Delta • Improvement of stochastic and functional model • Determination of sigma reflected signals (Experiment) • Include Phase Wind up effect • Amplitude • Better understanding of the EMD parameters and there impact on the IMF decomposition Slide 34
