As of 2011, 72 Permanent GPS Stations are installed to control DGPS reference points by the National Geographic Information Institute in South Korea. As the center of the Earth's mass continues to move, the coordinates of the permanent GPS stations become inconsistent over time. Thus, a reference frame using a set of coordinates and their velocities of a global network of stations at a specific period has been used to solve the inconsistency. However, the relative movement of the permanent GPS stations can lower the accuracy of GPS relative positioning. In this research, we first analyzed the data collected daily during the past 30 months at the 40 permanent GPS stations within South Korea and the 5 IGS permanent GPS stations around the Korean Peninsula using a global network adjustment. We then calculated the absolute and relative amount of movement of the GPS permanent stations. We also identified the optimum renewal period of the permanent GPS stations considering the accuracy of relative GPS surveying. Finally, we developed a Korean a Korean crustal movement model that can be used to improvement of accuracy.

In this study, the epoch adjustment model was developed to correct GPS precise point positioning result to be suitable for the current geodetic datum of Korea which is tied at past epoch statically. The model is based on the formula describing crustal movements, and the formula is composed of several parameters. To determine the parameters, the data gathered at 14 permanent GPS stations for 10 years, from 2000 to 2011, were processed using GIPSY-OASIS II. It was possible to determine the position of permanent GPS stations with an error range of 16mm and the position of check points with an error range of 12mm by appling the model to GPS precise point positioning result. It is considered that more precise model could be calculated by using GPS data of more permanent GPS stations.

National Geographic Information Institute has installed the first permanent Global Positioning System (GPS) station SUWN in 1995 and, as of today, the number of sites is 14. In this study, we visited all the 14 stations and determined if the site mount and antenna configuration conforms to the international site guidelines published by International GNSS Service and National Geodetic Survey. The environment around each station was also checked for the possibility of causing positioning errors. In addition, the GPS data quality was evaluated using the quality-checking program called TEQC. As a result of site visits, we found that low stations (TABK, CHJU, KWNJ, and WNJU) have unfavorable environment and TEQC results validated it. TEQC results also showed that the GPS receiver change during years 2005-2006 reduced the multipath errors and the number of cycle slips at every station.

본 연구의 목적은 GPS관측에 의한 세계측지계 성과의 산출방안을 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. GPS 관측 데이터와 상시관측소의 데이터를 활용하여 세계측지계 성과를 산출하기 위한 방안을 연구한다. GPS 관측 데이터의 후처리 결과 상시관측소의 데이터를 사용하지 않았을 경우와 사용하였을 경우의 폐합차를 분석한 결과 모두 정밀1차 기준점 측량작업규정에 만족함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 GPS상시관측소의 데이터를 활용하여 각 측점 지점의 좌표를 산출한 결과, 상시관측소 3개소의 데이터를 사용하였을 경우에 비해 사용하지 않았을 경우의 오차가 가장 크게 나타났으며 1개소 사용, 2개소 사용할 때 점차적으로 오차가 감소하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 상시관측소를 고정점으로 사용하되 적어도 3점이상의 점을 사용하여야 함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 제한된 일부 지역을 대상으로 GPS 상시관측소의 관측 데이터를 사용하여 세계측지계의 성과를 산출 한 연구로 향후 광범위한 지역에서의 GPS 상시관측소의 활용에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

GPS와 VLBI와 같은 우주측지 기술을 이용한 정밀 측위는 수 mn 정밀도의 관측소 좌표결정과 1 mm/year 정도의 고정밀 속도결정에 이용된다. 이를 위해서는 여러 가지 오차 요인들과 다양한 물리적 현상에 대한 모델링이 이루어져야 한다. 그 중의 하나가 해수 하중(ocean loading)에 의한 수직방향의 지각변위이다. 특히 한반도의 서해안은 복잡한 리아스식 해안으로 이루어져 있고, 조수간만의 차이가 크기 때문에 현존하는 모델의 정확도가 떨어진다. KVN(Korean VLBI Network)사업에서 추진하는 3기의 VLBI 중 2기가 서울과 제주도에 설치될 계획이므로, 해수하중에 의한 지각변위에 관한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 또한 국내 GPS상시관측소의 많은 수가 서해안 지역에 설치되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 서해안 지역의 해수하중에 의한 수직방향의 지각변위를 GPS로 관측하고 이를 서해안 해수조류 모델의 정밀도를 향상시키는데 필요한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 서해안의 4개 GPS 관측소 위치에서의 해수하중에 의한 지각변위를 계산해본 결과 인천 지역에는 3 cm에 육박하는 지각변위가 수직으로 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 같은 크기와 위상의 지각변위 진폭을 GPS로 검출하기 위한 여러 가지 오차 보정과 GIPSY를 이용한 고정밀 키네마틱 GPS 자료처리에 대하여 상세히 소개한다.

Approximately 100 permanent GPS stations are currently operational in Korea. However, only 10 sites have their own weather sensors connected directly to the GPS receiver. Thus. calculation of meteorological data through interpolation of AWS data are needed to determine precipitable water vapors at a specific GPS station without a meteorological sensor. This study analyzed the accuracy of two meteorological data interpolation methods called reverse sea level correction and kriging. As a result, the root-mean square-error of reverse sea level correction were seven times more accurate in pressure and twice more accurate in temperature than the kriging method. For the analysis of PWV accuracy, we calculated GPS PWV during the summer season in :2008 by using GPS observation data and interpolated meteorological data by reverse sea level correction. And, we compared GPS PWV s based on interpolated meteorological data with those from radiosonde observations and GPS PWV s based on onsite GPS meteorological sensor measurements. As a result, the accuracy of GPS PWV s from our interpolated meteorological data was within the required operational accuracy of 3mm.

In order to evaluate the stability of permanent GPS arrays for obtaining high precision coordinates, spectral analysis uses the least square spectrum analysis to the coordinate variations of Suwon, Tsukuba and Sanghai stations. Permanent GPS observations at Suwon, Tsukuba and Sanghai have been more or less continuously carried out since 1994. Time series of the resulting coordinate variations are analyzed for long term repeatability and periodic behaviour.

Water vapor is an important parameter in monitoring changes in the Earth's climate and it can be used to improve weather forecasting. However, it haven't observed accurately by reasons of structural and economic problem of observation. GPS meteorology technique for precipitable water vapor measurement is currently actively being researched an advanced nation. Main issue of GPS meteorology is an accuracy of PWV measurement related weighted mean temperature and meteorological data. In this study, the korean weighted mean temperature had been recalculated by a linear regression method based on meteorological observations from 6 radiosonde stations for 2003 year. We examined the accuracy of PWV estimates from GPS observations and Radiosonde observations by new korean weighted mean temperature and others.

The Korean peninsula is located at the edge of the East Asian active margin. The seismic activity in the Korean Peninsula is relatively low compared with the neighboring countries China and Japan. According to the available Seismic information, the Korean Peninsula is not totally safe from the Earthquake disaster. Moreover, the area is surrounded by varies tectonic forces which is resulted from the relative movements of the surrounding tectonic plates "Pacific, Philippine Sea, Eurasian and South China". Nowadays South Korea has 65 GPS stations belong to 5 governmental organizations "each organization figure out its own GPS stations for different requirements" In order to minimize the seismic hazard in the Korean Peninsula a program for monitoring the recent crustal movement has been designed considering the uses of the available GPS station "some selected stations from the previously mentioned stations" and the tectonic settings in and around the Korean Peninsula. This program is composed of two main parts, the first part to monitor the crustal deformation around the Korean Peninsula with the collaboration of the surrounding countries "China and Japan" this part is composed of two phases "East Sea Phase and Yellow Sea Phase". These phases will be helpful in determining the deformation parameters in the East Sea and the Yellow Sea respectively While the Second part of this program, is designed to determine the deformation parameters id and around the main faults in the Korean Peninsula and the relative movement between the Korean Peninsula and the Cheju Island. Through out this study the needs of crustal movement center rose up to collect the data from the previously mentioned stations and Organizations in order to use such reliable data in different geodynamical application.

본 연구에서는 Canada Southern Alberta Network의 6곳의 GPS(Global Positioning System) 상시관측소 데이터를 바탕으로 관측소와 각 GPS 위성간의 시선방향 습윤지연량을 결정하였다. 고정밀 GPS 데이터를 이용하여 천정방향 습윤지연량을 결정하고 이를 WVR(Water Vapor Radiometer)에서 측정한 천정방향 습윤지연량과 비교하였다. 그 결과 WVR의 천정방향 습윤지연량과 비교할 때 GPS로 관측한 천정방향 습윤지연량은 최대 1.39cm, 최소 0.99cm의 RMS 오차를 보였다. 또한 GPS로 관측한 시선방향 습윤지연량은 WVR과 비교할 때, PRN 25번 위성의 경우최대 17cm, 최소 0.05cm의 차이가 났다.
