Inertial navigation systems requires gravity model to compute gravity acceleration and its trajectory accuracy depends on the gravity model accuracy especially for a long range flight. The gravity model accuracy is important for satellite orbit prediction as well. The precision gravity model requires a precision coordinate transformation between inertial and Earth fixed coordinates. Precision gravity acceleration algorithms with a coordinate transform are studied and a computer program is developed. The effects of individual model components on trajectory error are analyzed.

Determination of the local vertical is not trivial for a moving vehicle and in general will require corrections for the Earth geophysical deflection. The vehicle's local vertical can be estimated by INS integration with initial alignment in SDINS(Strap Down INS) system. In general, the INS has drift error and it cause the performance degradation. In order to compensate the drift error, GPS/INS augmented system is widely used. And in the event that GPS is denied or unavailable, celestial navigation using star tracker can be a backup navigation system especially for the military purpose. In this celestial navigation system, the vehicle's position determination can be achieved using more than two star trackers, and the accuracy of position highly depends on accuracy of local vertical direction. Modern tilt sensors or accelerometers are sensitive to the direction of gravity to arc second(or better) precision. The local gravity provides the direction orthogonal to the geoid and, appropriately corrected, toward the center of the Earth. In this paper the relationship between direction of center of the Earth and actual gravity direction caused by geophysical deflection was analyzed by using precision orbit simulation program embedded the JGM-3 geoid model. And the result was verified and evaluated with mathematical gravity vector model derived from gravitational potential of the Earth. And also for application purpose, the performance variation of pure INS navigation system was analyzed by applying precise gravity model.

GRACE는 2002년 발사된 이래로 지하수, 빙하, 해수면의 변동에 의한 지구의 질량 재배치를 관측해오고 있다. GRACE 관측으로부터 추정된 지구 중력 모델은 기압보정을 거쳐 대기 질량이 제거된 지구 표면과 그 하부의 질량 변화를 나타낸다. 그러나 대기 총 질량은 지표면과 대기 사이의 물 교환에 의해 변한다. 그 결과 GRACE 중력 모델은 구면 조화 함수의 계수 degree 0, order 0 ($C_{00}$)에 해당하는 총 대기 질량 변화에 관련된 중력 스펙트럼을 가져야 한다. 주로 계절적인 시간 척도 안에서 변하는 수증기 때문에 $C_{00}$의 변화(${\delta}C_{00}$)는 특히 해수면의 계절적 변동과 북반구와 남반구 사이의 질량 균형에 매우 중요하다. 이 결과는 ${\delta}C_{00}$가 기후변동과 관련된 대륙 규모의 질량 변화 연구에 꼭 고려되어야 함을 뜻한다.

Uiseong subbasin belonging to Kyungsang basin resulted from volcanic activity in the late Cretaceous. In this study, we carry out MT and gravity survey at the Hwasan caldera, which was formed of volcanic and abyssal rocks complex, then analyze and identify geological substructure. Potential survey such as gravity and magnetic survey has been mainly carried out in former studies, so depth information for understanding substructure was not enough. To complement a potential survey, we use MT method, which has high vertical resolution. Moreover we make a simple 2D model comparing with former study. The result of MT and gravity 2D modeling shows that this area is roughly composed of 3 layers; The bottom layer is a basement. In the second layer, intrusive rocks having high resistivity is placed along the ring faults and the sedimentary layer of low resistivity is inside caldera. The highest layer is alluvium. To comprehend the 3D structure of the Hwasan caldera, we perform 3D gravity inversion, and construct the 3D model from the result of 3D gravity inversion. MT responses are calculated by using the constructed 3D model and the 3D model of the Hwasan caldera's structure is suggested after comparing the calculated values with the observed values at MT line.

최근에 수행되고 있는 중력 탐사는 고분해능의 중력계와 GPS(Global positioning system)를 통한 정밀한 측정과 측지가 이루어지고 있다. 중력탐사에서 모델링과 역산의 기술은 많은 발전이 있어왔지만, 중력자료처리는 거의 변화가 없었다. 통상적인 정밀한 중력 자료 보정을 통한 부우게이상은 측정점의 고도에서 기준면까지의 물질의 영향을 일정한 밀도를 이용해 제거해 버리기 때문에 측정점 바로 하부의 이상체에 의한 영향을 상당히 왜곡시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 탐사 지역의 지형을 DEM(Digital Elevation Map) 자료와 Multiquadric equation을 이용하여 실제 지형과 유사한 Multiquadric surface를 자동적으로 구성하고, 이를 블록화 함으로써 보정의 대상이었던 기준면 상부에 대한 밀도를 탐사 지역의 지질 정보와 지형을 포함하는 역산을 통해 수치적으로 계산하였다. 이러한 지형을 포함한 역산 방법을 3차 원중력지형역산(3DGTI; 3-D Gravity Terrain Inversion)이라 한다. 이 연구의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 주변암과 밀도차가 존재하는 관입지역에 대한 모델을 구성하고 적용한 결과 기존의 부게 보정 방법을 적용한 부게 이상도에 비해 자료의 왜곡이 감소하는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 지형 역산을 통한 객관적인 부게 밀도의 결정과 부게 보정시 실제의 수평적인 밀도 변화를 반영함으로써 기존의 문제점을 보완하였다. 게다가, 3DGTI로부터 얻어진 밀도분포는 지형의 윤곽을 그대로 표현하고 있어서 보다 실질적인 지질을 보여준다고 하겠다. 이 방법을 화강암체가 관입하고 있는 마산$\cdot$창원 일대에서의 중력 탐사 자료에 적용해본 결과 기존 방법보다 관입 화강암체의 위치와 그 규모를 알아내는데 더 효과적이었다. 따라서, 수평적인 밀도 변화가 뚜렷하게 존재하는 지역의 경우, 새로운 중력 자료 처리 방법이 기존의 부게 보정에서 발생하였던 문제점을 해결함으로써 천부의 분해능을 높이고, 심부의 밀도 분포도 좀더 정확하게 계산할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

After launching the GOCE (Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer) which obtains high-frequency gravity signal using a gravity gradiometer, many research institutes are concentrating on the development of GGM (Global Geopotential Model) based on GOCE data and evaluating its precision. The precision of some GGMs was also evaluated in Korea. However, some studies dealt with GGMs constructed based on initial GOCE data or others applied a part of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) / Leveling data on UCPs (Unified Control Points) for the precision evaluation. Now, GGMs which have a higher degree than EGM2008 (Earth Gravitational Model 2008) are available and UCPs were fully established at the end of 2019. Thus, EIGEN-6C4 (European Improved Gravity Field of the Earth by New techniques - 6C4), GECO (GOCE and EGM2008 Combined model), XGM2016 (Experimental Gravity Field Model 2016), SGG-UGM-1, XGM2019e_2159 were collected with EGM2008, and their precisions were assessed based on the GNSS/Leveling data on UCPs. Among GGMs, it was found that XGM2019e_2159 showed the minimum difference compared to a total of 5,313 points of GNSS/Leveling data. It is about a 1.5cm and 0.6cm level of improvement compare to EGM2008 and EIGEN-6C4. Especially, the local biases in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Jeju island shown in the EGM2008 was removed, so that both mean and standard deviation of the difference of XGM2019e_2159 to the GNSS/Leveling are homogeneous regardless of region (mountainous or plain area). NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) is currently in progress in developing EGM2020 and XGM2019e_2159 is the experimentally published model of EGM2020. Therefore, it is expected that the improved GGM will be available shortly so that it is necessary to verify the precision of new GGMs consistently.

Gravity study was carried out to investigate the structure and total mass of the Bupyeong silver deposits closely related to formation of the Bupyeong caldera. Survey region covers $3.3{\times}6.6km^2$ over silver deposits and is comprised of 334 gravity measurement stations. An apparent regional gravity trend parallel to the west coast line is mainly attributed to isostasy. A least square isostasy model was used for the regional correction. A Fortan subroutine was coded to calculate 3-dimensional subsurface model. The calculated gravity values from the 3-dimensional model of the caldera with silver deposits agree with observed anomalies relatively well. Gravity anomaly due to Bupyeong silver deposits reaches to +3.5 mgal from the background value and anomaly due to the caldera reaches to -4 mgal. But the maximum negative anomaly of the caldera would be much greater at its center. The total mass of silver deposits calculated from the subsurface model is $4.19{\times}10^9$ tons. Although the economic part of silver deposits depends on the grade of orebody, we expect that there are still large amount of silver reserves in Bupyeong area.

To prepare for a Korean lunar orbiter mission, a precise lunar orbit propagator; Yonsei precise lunar orbit propagator (YSPLOP) is developed. In the propagator, accelerations due to the Moon's non-spherical gravity, the point masses of the Earth, Moon, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and also, solar radiation pressures can be included. The developed propagator's performance is validated and propagation errors between YSPOLP and STK/Astrogator are found to have about maximum 4-m, in along-track direction during 30 days (Earth's time) of propagation. Also, it is found that the lifetime of a lunar polar orbiter is strongly affected by the different degrees and orders of the lunar gravity model, by a third body's gravitational attractions (especially the Earth), and by the different orbital inclinations. The reliable lifetime of circular lunar polar orbiter at about 100 km altitude is estimated to have about 160 days (Earth's time). However, to estimate the reasonable lifetime of circular lunar polar orbiter at about 100 km altitude, it is strongly recommended to consider at least $50\;{\times}\;50$ degrees and orders of the lunar gravity field. The results provided in this paper are expected to make further progress in the design fields of Korea's lunar orbiter missions.

Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) gravimeter satellites observed the Earth gravity field with unprecedented accuracy since 2002. After the termination of GRACE mission, GRACE Follow-on (GFO) satellites successively observe global gravity field, but there is missing period between GRACE and GFO about one year. Many previous studies estimated terrestrial water storage (TWS) changes using hydrological models, vertical displacements from global navigation satellite system observations, altimetry, and satellite laser ranging for a continuity of GRACE and GFO data. Recently, in order to predict TWS changes, various machine learning methods are developed such as artificial neural network and multi-linear regression. Previous studies used hydrological and climate data simultaneously as input data of the learning process. Further, they excluded linear trends in input data and GRACE/GFO data because the trend components obtained from GRACE/GFO data were assumed to be the same for other periods. However, hydrological models include high uncertainties, and observational period of GRACE/GFO is not long enough to estimate reliable TWS trends. In this study, we used convolutional neural networks (CNN) method incorporating only climate data set (temperature, evaporation, and precipitation) to predict TWS variations in the missing period of GRACE/GFO. We also make CNN model learn the linear trend of GRACE/GFO data. In most river basins considered in this study, our CNN model successfully predicts seasonal and long-term variations of TWS change.

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.).
