  abstract = {{D}uring the past few decades, satellite altimetry has brought tremendous new knowledge about the spatial and temporal variations of sea surface heights over the {E}arth's oceans. {H}owever, the precision is limited over short wavelengths and in coastal areas, and other methods such as kinematic {GPS} may be needed to fill in this information. {W}e present kinematic {GPS} work aimed at mapping the sea surface height, with special attention to the precision one can expect. {A}ctive marine subduction zones, like the {V}anuatu archipelago, may present short wavelength, high amplitude undulations of the sea surface height that are difficult to map with satellite altimetry. {T}his paper presents the methodology used around {S}anto {I}sland, in {V}anuatu, to obtain a well-resolved local sea surface map with a precision of 5-15 cm limited by the sea conditions and the distance from the coastal reference station. {W}e present the results of three campaigns in 2004, 2006 and 2007. {C}areful observation of the ship behaviour along the surveys as well as simultaneous recording of the ship attitude variations is mandatory to obtain reliable results. {W}e show that the ship {GPS} antenna height varies with the ship's velocity and we suggest a method to correct this effect. {T}he final precision is estimated using the crossover differences method.},
