초록

GPS의 SA 해제 이후, 상대적으로 비중이 작았던 대기층지연, 다중경로(Multipath) 등 모델링 연구를 통하여 측위 정확도를 보다 향상시킬 수 있는 오차요인의 보정에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 본 연구는 Goad&Goodman, A&K, Hopfield 및 Sasstamoinen 보정모델에 의한 대류층 지연량의 예측은 물론 천정방향의 지연량에 Niell, Chao 및 Marini 맵핑 함수를 적용한 조합 프로그램을 작성하여 기상센서가 운용되는 특정 관측소의 기상자료를 적용하고 GPS 위성의 고도 변화에 따른 대류층 신호 지연량의 변화와 보정모델 및 맵핑 함수의 조합에 따른 지연량의 변화 양상을 비교.고찰한 것으로 특히, 고도각이 $10^{\circ}$ 이하인 저고도 GPS관측자료의 대류층 지연보정시, 천정방향 보정모델과 맵핑 함수의 조합 및 맵핑 함수의 특성 등을 고려하여 보정함이 타당할 것으로 사료되었다.

Since GPS's SA cancellation, the interest is converged in correction of errors such as atmospheric delay and multipath that weight had been small relatively, which can improve the accuracy of positioning through modelling research. The aim of this study have an extensive comparison of the various tropospheric delay models (Goad&Goodman, A&K, Hopfield and Sasstamoinen) and mapping functions(Niell, Chao, and Marini). Expecially, the tropospheric delay amounts by change of the GPS satellite elevations, and the delay by various combination between zenith delay models and mapping functions, compared and examined. For this, programmed the total delay models and the combined models which can be described as a product of the delay at the zenith and a mapping function. The result of study, especially, as the minimum elevation of included data is reduced under $10^{\circ}$, it was considered to be reasonable that the prediction of tropospheric delay considering combination and mapping character of functions about the transition of the zenith delay to a delay with arbitrary zenith angle.
