  abstract = {{T}his study presents the result of a demonstration of {G}lobal {P}ositioning {S}ystem ({GPS}) hydrologic studies in a remote area. {A} {GPS} campaign was conducted using a {GPS}-equipped vessel and a {GPS} buoy to measure water level along {R}io {B}ranco, a tributary of the {A}mazon. {T}he {GPS} water level data agree well with river gauge data and with {ENVISAT} radar altimeter measurements. {T}he {GPS}-estimated river stage gradient of {R}io {B}ranco is 5.75 +/- 0.48 cm/km with 99% confidence, which is higher than previous estimates. {T}his result also agrees well with {ENVISAT} altimetry results.},
