Evaluation of the new Earth Gravity Models with GPS-leveling data in South Korea

최신 지구중력장모델(EGMs)의 남한지역 적용 평가

The new gravity field combination models are expected to improve the knowledge of the Earth's global gravity field. This study evaluates eleven global gravity field models derived from gravimetry and altimetry surface data in a comparison with ground truth in South Korea. Geoid heights obtained from GPS and levelling in South Korea are compared with geoid heights from the models. The results show that the gravity satellites CHAMP, GRACE and LAGEOS plus gravimetry and altimetry surface data have led to an improvement in gravity field models. As expected, the new combination gravity field model which are EIGEN-CG03C and EIGEN-GL04C give better results than the predecessors widely used models(EGM96, OSU91A etc.).
