Abstract

ZHD (Zenith Hydrostatic Delay) model is important parameter in estimating of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) PWV (Precipitable Water Vapor) along with weighted mean temperature. The ZWD (Zenith Wet Delay) is tend to accumulate the ZHD error, so that biases from ZHD will be affected on the precision of GNSS PWV. In this paper, we compared the accuracy of GNSS PWV with radiosonde PWV using three ZHD models, such as Saastamoinen, Hopfield, and Black. Also, we adopted the KWMT (Korean Weighted Mean Temperature) model and the mean temperature which was observed by radiosonde on the retrieval processing of GNSS PWV. To this end, GNSS observation data during one year were processed to produce PWVs from a total of 5 GNSS permanent stations in Korea, and the GNSS PWVs were compared with radiosonde PWVs for the evaluating of biases. The PWV biases using mean temperature estimated by the KWMT model are smaller than radiosonde mean temperature. Also, we could confirm the result that the Saastamoinen ZHD which is most used in the GNSS meteorology is not valid in South Korea, because it cannot be exclude the possibility of biases by latitude or height of GNSS station.

GNSS를 이용한 가강수량 복원에 있어서 가중 평균 기온과 더불어 천정 건조 지연 모델은 가강수량의 정확도에 중요한 매개변수 중 하나이다. 천정 습윤 지연은 천정 건조 지연 모델의 오차가 축적되는 경향을 가지고 있으므로, 천정 건조 지연의 편의량은 GNSS 가강수량의 정확도에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Saastamoinen, Hopfield 및 Black의 세 가지 천정 건조 지연 모델을 이용하여 GNSS 가강수량을 산출하고 라디오존데 가강수량과의 정확도를 비교하였다. 그리고 이 과정에서 가강수량 산출에 필요한 가중 평균 기온을 한국형 가중 평균 기온 모델과 라디오존데로부터 실제로 관측한 가중 평균 기온을 각각 적용하여 다르게 평가하였다. 이를 위해 국내 상시관측소 5개소의 1년 분량의 GNSS 관측데이터를 취득한 후 천정 건조 지연 모델별로 가강수량을 산출하고 정밀도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한국형 가중 평균 기온 모델에 기반하여 복원한 GNSS 가강수량이 라디오존데의 가중 평균 기온을 적용한 것보다 편의량이 작은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, GNSS 기상에서 널리 적용하고 있는 Saastamoinen 모델은 우리나라 관측소의 위도나 고도에 의한 편의량이 발생하여 가장 유효한 모델이 아닐 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.
