Determination of the sea level changes and understanding the causes of changes are important in climate change studies at global and regional scales. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals have some characteristics that can be used for the remote sensing applications. GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technique that allows GNSS-based sea level determination is new and open to improvement. This study aims to investigate the contribution to the GNSS stations located in the different coasts of Turkey to determination of sea level by using GNSS-R. For this purpose, utilized existing the Signal to noise ratio (SNR) data from ANMU, DATC, FASA, SINP and TEKR of TUSAGA-Active network, MERS from IGS network and SAME constituted from TUBITAK 1001 project GNSS stations. The dominant multipath frequency of SNR signal was computed with Lomb-Scargle periodogram (LSP). Consequently, MERS and TEKR stations were found to be suitable for sea level determination by using GNSS-R because these stations have a strong reflection amplitudes and significant observations. The GNSS-based sea level results for these stations were compared to sea level observations from nearby tide gauges. The comparison shows a agreement with a correlation coefficient of 0.76 and 0.91, respectively.
