For the establishing gravity base station and the improving the precision of exiting gravity network, and getting the gravity acceleration value in Korea, the absolute gravity measurements have been conducted at Daejeon(KRISS) from October 8 to November 8, 1996 with the NIM-II Absolute gravimeter and Suwon(NGI) from December 10 to December 16, 1999 with the FG5 Absolute gravity meter. The each absolute gravity value measured at KRISS and at NGI is 979,829.609${\pm}$0.006 mGal from 353 dropes and 979,918.775${\pm}$0.0001 mGal from a total 14,346 dropes. I think that we need the many base Absolute gravity station for the activation of the Earth science.

현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 중력 기준점은 서로 다른 2 개의 루트를 통하여 유도되었다. 따라서 중력에 관련된 업무를 수행하는 연구자에게는 서로간의 신뢰도 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구의 목적은 이들의 중력 기준점의 값을 상호 비교 검토하여 올바른 중력 기준점 값을 제시하는 데 두고있다. 따라서 중력 기준점 값을 상호 비교검토을 위하여, 1973년도 한$\cdot$영, 1974년도 한$\cdot$일 협력에 의해서 이루어진 중력 기준점 : 구 국립지질광물연구소(서울), 국립지리원(구 서울시 동대문구 휘경동 소재) 및 표준연구소(대전)을 관측하였다. 그 결과, 절대 중력관측에 의한 중력 값이 결정되기까지는 국립지리원에서 국내에 설치한 중력기준점 값을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.

본 연구에서는 국립해양조사원의 '해양2000호'를 통해 1996년과 1997년에 측정한 동해 지역의 중력자료에 대한 자료 처리를 하였다. 효과적인 자료처리를 위해 선상중력자료 처리에 필요한 각종 보정 절차와 문제점 등을 알아보았으며, 선상자료와 해면고도계자료의 비교 및 이를 통한 선상자료의 검증을 실시하였다. 선상중력자료는 측정과 처리 과정에 있어 여러 사항을 고려하여야 한다. 즉, 육상중력기점을 이용한 절대중력으로의 환산 문제, 선박 항해 위치의 부정확성에 기인하는 문제 및 중력계의 기계적 특성과 중력 측정이 이루어질 때의 해상 조건에 의한 영향 등으로 선상중력자료에 나타나는 여러 오차를 최소화하여야 한다. 선상중력자료로부터 각종 지구중력장 연구에 필요한 중력이상을 계산하기 위해 선상중력 측정시 기인되는 각종 요인의 오차를 고려한 효과적인 보정이 이루어져야 한다. 즉, 선상중력계의 기계변이 보정, 탐사선에 대한 위치 자료의 획득 및 필터링, 그리고 탐사선의 이동으로 인한 Eotvos 효과의 정확한 계산 및 보정이 필요하고, 선상중력계의 기계적 특성에 의해 나타나는 시간지연에 대한 보정도 필요하다. 또한 이러한 보정을 통해 계산한 중력 이상에서 각 교점의 오차를 보정하는 교정오차 보정도 실시하여야 한다. 특히, 탐사선의 이동으로 인한 지구자전 각속도의 상대적인 증감의 효과로 나타나는 Eotvos 효과의 영향은 선상중력자료의 정확도에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다. 이의 정확한 계산 및 보정을 위해서는 정확한 위치정보가 필요하며 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 GPS 항해정보에 대한 Kalman 필터를 실시하였고, Eotvos 효과에 대해 Savitzky-Golay 필터를 적용하여 최적의 Eotvos 보정을 시도하였다. 본 연구에서 계산된 동해지역의 중력이상에 대한 대력적인 범위는 경도 129° - 133°이고 위도 35° - 38.3° 부근이다. 이 지역에 대한 고도이상은 최소 -42.46 mGal에서 최고 161.13 mGal사이에 분포하며, 고도이상의 평균은 14.450 mGal이다. 또한 Bouguer 이상은 최소 -l5.09 mGal에서 최고 218.61 mGal이고 이의 평균은 82.681 mGal이다. 그리고 동해지역의 선상중력 측정지역에서 선상자료에 의한 중력이상과 Altimeter 자료에 의한 고도이상의 전반적인 윤곽은 비슷하면서도 일부 작은 이상의 차이가 나타났으며, 지형자료와 비교하여 보면 Altimeter에 의한 결과보다 선상측정에 의한 결과가 더욱 잘 일치하고 있어 본 연구에서 계산한 선상자료의 타당성을 알 수 있다. 고도이상의 차이는 최소 -25.94 mGal에서 최대 85.33 mGal의 차이를 보이며 차이의 평균은 3.517 mGal, RMS는 6.774 meal이다. 이는 비교적 큰 차이로 선상측정자료의 중요성과 필요성을 단적으로 나타내고 있다.

We have established 88 auxiliary gravity reference stations by using two gravitimeters at the observation offices of the Korean meteorological agency and measured the locations by using GPS. All gravity values have been calculated on the basis of the gravity reference point at Pusan National University, thus, they have been established to bge easily converted to new absolute gravity value later. The increased numbers of the gravity reference stations will minimize errors due to measurements, drift correction etc. and increase the accuracy of the gravity data. The result of this research will be used to verify the gravity data which calculated with the relative gravity meter and to inspect relative gravity meters.

Recently more gravity data is being obtained due to the increased demands from the fields of geodesy, geophysics, and military. In general, the observed gravity values are corrected for the effect of tide, instrument drift, and instrument height to generate the absolute gravity values at a point. Until yet, the models for tide and drift corrections and those procedures are not determined in Korea which led to the inconsistent data processing for different data sets. Therefore, in this study, the models for tide and drift are analyzed to select the appropriate models. Based on the analysis, it was found that there is not much difference between Longman and Tamura tide models for celestial objects. Earth tide, however, should be considered in tide correction procedure. In drift corrections, the difference between the model considering only the common points and that considering all points appears significantly large up to 0.04mGal. In this case, the model with all points should be used as it the correct one according to the adjustment theory and it generates estimates with better precision.

High-resolution, high-precision ultra-high degree earth gravitational model are significant for the development of geodesy, geophysics, geodynamics and oceanography. In this research, we introduces the ultra-high earth gravitational model EGM2008 recently announced by U.S. NGA, reviews the issues and status of the ultra-high degree gravitational model development, and analyzes the accuracy of the gravitational model in Korea. First, EGM2008 is compared with the gravitational model EGM96 and Korea high-precision hybrid geoid model KGEOID08. In addition, the absolute accuracy is evaluated by ellipsoid height and orthometric height of a satellite geodetic reference point. Overall, the results show a similar accuracy between EGM2008 and KGEOID08. Thus, EGM2008 will be helpful for the future development of regional geoid and analysis of global gravity field.

An uplift or a subsidence of a wide area can be derived from change of gravity value, change of geoid, change of heights at measurement points etc. In the past decade, 1) the absolute gravity value acquired at a point in Daejeon decreased, 2) the geoid height on the Yellow Sea Area derived from satellite altimetry data increased, 3) the height of the southern part of Korean Peninsula increased. By synthesizing these, we can interpret that the wide area including the southern part of Korean Peninsula and the Yellow Sea is uplifting with the velocity of about 2 mm/yr.

The previous geoid model developed in early 2000s shows 14cm level of precision due to the problems on distribution, and quality of the land gravity and GPS/Leveling data. From 2007, the new land and airborne gravity data as well as GPS/Leveling data having high quality and regular distribution has been obtained. In 2011, a new gravimetric geoid model has been constructed with precision of 5.29cm which was improved about 27% comparing to the previous model. However, much more land gravity data has been collected at the control point, bench marks and triangulation points since 2010. Also, GPS/Leveling data having 10km spacing over whole country has been obtained through the project which is for the construction of new control points. In this study, new gravimetric geoid has been calculated based on the all available gravity data up to present. The geoid height shows the range from 18.05m to 32.70m over whole country and its precision is 5.76cm. The degree of fit and precision of hybrid geoid model are 3.60cm and 4.06cm, respectively. At the end, 3.35cm of the relative precision in 15km baseline has been calculated to confirm its practical usage. Especially, it has been founded that regional bias occurred at the Kangwon and coastal area due to problems on the leveling data. Also, some inland points show inconsistent large difference which needs to be verified by analyzing the unified control points results.

Karstic features and mining-related cavities not only lead to severe restrictions in land utilizations, but also constitute serious concern about geohazard and groundwater contamination. A microgravity survey was applied for detecting, mapping and monitoring karstic cavities in the test site at Muan prepared by KIGAM. The gravity data were collected using an AutoGrav CG-3 gravimeter at about 800 stations by 5 m interval along paddy paths. The density distribution beneath the profiles was drawn by two dimensional inversion based on the minimum support stabilizing functional, which generated better focused images of density discontinuities. We also imaged three dimensional density distribution by growing body inversion with solution from Euler deconvolution as a priori information. The density image showed that the cavities were dissolved, enlarged and connected into a cavity network system, which was supported by drill hole logs. A time-lapse microgravity was executed on the road in the test site for monitoring the change of the subsurface density distribution before and after grouting. The data were adjusted for reducing the effects due to the different condition of each survey, and inverted to density distributions. They show the change of density structure during the lapsed time, which implies the effects of grouting. This case history at the Muan test site showed that the microgravity with accuracy and precision of ${\mu}Gal$ is an effective and practical tool for detecting, mapping and monitoring the subsurface cavities.
