Massachusetts researchers may someday enable consumers to do just that. The research is detailed in the
Dec. 15 issue of the journal Science and is funded by a National Science Foundation "Partnership in

System (GPS) receiver, flying on the Argentine satellite SAC-C
provides a new way to study Earth's gravity field and atmosphere.
The Blackjack looks at how the radio signals from the constellation of GPS
satellites are distorted or delayed along their way. While a typical GPS receiver can
determine its position to about 20 metres, the BlackJack can pinpoint the position of
its host satellite continuously an accuracy of about 2.5cm, and can be used for a
variety of Earth studies." The paragraph I find most interesting says "the BlackJacks
are also equipped with small down-looking antennas to attempt to receive GPS
signals that reflect off the oceans."
Slashdot Mirror
160knots = 296 km/h
6200 feet = 1890m
400 lb = 1779N
A cool feature for slashcode would be automatic unit conversions.
100mph=160km/h=44m/s
Should've been:
45 knots is like over 80 km/h.
