The estimation of tropospheric zenith delay over the Seoul-Jecheon area using GPS is presented. Over the past ten years, the world-wide industrial nations have been intensively concerned over increasing GPS surveyings in the various fields of earth science. To preserve precise positioning under various weather conditions, relationships between tropospheric zenith delay and GPS accuracy are analyzed. GPS accuracies are compared with tropospheric zenith delay produced by Bernese 4.0 software. Errors of tropospheric delay are 20cm in mean and reduced up to 5cm when tropospheric correction models are used. Correlation between error of GPS and tropospheric zenith delay plays a positive role to monitor the migration of weather front in the established Korean GPS network.

This paper shows effects of tropospheric delay models and mapping functions among delay features occurred when GPS code signal is transferred for GPS Time Transfer. GPS time transfer uses CGGTTS as the international standard format. For geodetic GPS receiver, ROB has provided r2cggtts software which generates CGGTTS data from RINEX data and all laboratories participated in TAI link use this software and send the CGGTTS results periodically. Though Saastamoinen zenith path model and Niell mapping function are commonly used in space geodesy, r2cggtts software applied NATO zenith path model and CHAO mapping function to the tropospheric delay model. Hence, this paper shows effects of two tropospheric delay models by implementing Saastamoinen model and Niell mapping function for the time offset.

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.

In this paper, we verified accuracy of the satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) tropospheric delay correction model for the Korean region. We employed the precise data of the tropospheric zenith path delay (ZPD) which is provided by the international GNSS service (IGS). In addition, we compared the verification results with that of the Saastamoinen model and the Hopfield model. Consequently, the bias residual error of the SBAS tropospheric delay correction model is about 50 mm, whereas the Saastamoinen model and the Hopfield model are more accurate. This residual error by the tropospheric delay model can affect the SBAS user position accuracy, but there is no problem in SBAS accuracy requirement. If we modified the meteorological parameters for SBAS tropospheric model to appropriate in Korean weather environment, we can provide better SBAS service to the Korean user.

This paper shows results of the precise time comparison technique based on GPS code transfer in order to determine the UTC(Universal Time Coordinated) and generate TAI(International Atomic Time). CGGTTS(CCTF Group on GNSS Time Transfer Standards) which is generated by GPS timing receivers is used as the international standard format. For geodetic receivers which provide RINEX formats as GPS time transfer results, ROB(Royal Observatory of Belgium) developed a conversion program, r2cggtts, and have distributed the program to timing laboratories participating in TAI link all over the world. Timing laboratories generate the time comparison results of GPS code transfer by the program and send them to BIPM(Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) periodically. In this paper, we introduce the delay features generated while GPS code is transferred and the calibration methods of them. Then, we introduce the tropospheric delay and analyze the results of Saastamoinen model and NATO(North Atlantic Treaty organization) model. Saastamoinen model is the representative tropospheric zenith path delay model and NATO model is applied to the legacy r2cggtts program.
