Ground reference speed is the speed of an aircraft with reference to the ground. Ground reference can also be used in watercraft by using the seabed. Watercraft can also use water reference speed, which is water flowing past the hull. The difference is that one uses the ground and the other uses the water to reference speed.

What is the difference between speed over ground and speed over water?

Air speed is the speed through the air (surprise!) and the air is often moving, you can have a strong tailwind or headwind so that will affect your speed over the ground (groundspeed). The speed through the air might be 500mph, and the groundspeed either 550mph or 450mph, if the wind is at 50mph.
