Many studies have successfully developed a number of terrain correction programs in gravity data. Furthermore, terrain data that is a basic data for terrain correction has widely been provided through internet. We have also developed our own precise gravity terrain correction program. The currently existing gravity terrain correction programs have been developed for regional scale gravity survey, thus a more precise gravity terrain correction program needs to be developed to correct terrain effect. This precise gravity terrain program can be applied on small size geologic targets, such as small scale underground resources or underground cavities. The multiquadric equation has been applied to create a mathematical terrain surface from basic terrain data. Users of this terrain correction program can put additional terrain data to make more precise terrain correction. In addition, height differences between terrain and base of gravity meter can be corrected in this program.

It has been used not orthometric height but normal orthometric height for the official height in Korean benchmark because it has been used not observed gravity but normal gravity for the computation of orthometric correction. The purpose of this study is to propose height renewal method of Korean benchmark. For this purpose, we observed gravity by CG5 digital gravimeter in both the first benchmark line between Sokcho and Gangneung area and the second benchmark line between Soksa and Inje area. We calculated relative gravity value and orthometric correction in all benchmarks. So, the maximum orthometric correction shows -0.349mm in the first benchmark line, and the maximum orthometric correction shows -44.060mm in the second benchmark line. In conclusion, we can confirm that the orthometric correction based on observed gravity is necessary for more accurate official height computation in the Korean benchmark.

The effeet of the mass of the earth's atmosphere for gravity is studied. The computed correction value of the air mass effect is g=+0.86-0.0978 h (km) mgal and has always positive sign. In comparision with usual gravity works. this value is relatively large. So that, all gravity works always carry out this correction.

In this study, point gravity was measured to achieve terrestrid gravity data and the gravity is important element in precise geoid modelling. Surveys the relative gravity of 56 stations on 1st level route. In addition, it calculates gravity values, analysis gravity survey results using tidal correction, drift correction, datum-free adjustment. These point gravity data could be contribute in development of precise geoid model.

Since isokinetic concise can give an evaluation of muscle strength with great accuracy and objectively, it is widely used as the one of the important methods for evaluation of muscle performance. The purpose of this investigation was to compare values uncorrected for gravity with values corrected for gravity and to determine the effect of making this correction on knee flexors and extensors at three speeds. This investigation measured values isokinetically at $60^{\circ}/sec,\;120^{\circ}/sec,\;and\;180^{\circ}/sec$ in 14 male and 17 fermale university students. The gravity effect torque(GET) is the torque resulting from the effect of gravity on the combined weight of the leg and dynamometer arm. The GET was added to the measured extensors peak torque and subtraced from the flexors peak torque to yield gravity corrected values. Failure to consider GET greatly underetimated extensors torque and overtestimated flexors torque. Physical therapists must remember the importance of making the gravity correction in patients with reduced torque output where the gravitational torque is a greater percentage of the measured torque to ascertain correctly the relative strength of antagonists inversely affected by gravity.

This paper describes the results of complete Bouguer anomalies computed from the Free-air anomalies that derived from Sandwell and DNSC08 mairne gravity models. Complete bouguer corrections consist of three parts: the bouguer correction (Bullard A), the curvature correction (Bullard B) and the terrain correction (Bullard C). These all corrections have been computed over the East Sea on a $1'{\times}1'$ elevation data (topography and bathymetry) derived from ETOPO1 global relief model. In addition, a constant topographic (sea-water) density of $2,670kg/m^3$ ($1,030kg/m^3$) has been used for all correction terms. The distribution of complete bouguer anomalies computed from DNSC08 are -34.390 ~ 267.925 mGal, and those from Sandwell are -32.446 ~ 266.967 mGal in East Sea. The mean and RMSE value of the difference between DNSC08 and Sandwell is $0.036{\pm}2.373$ mGal. The highest value of complete bouguer anomaly are found around the region of $42{\sim}43^{\circ}N$ and $137{\sim}139^{\circ}E$ (has the lowest bathymetry) in both models. Theses values show that the gravity distribution of both models, DNSC08 and Sandwell, are very similar. They indicate that satellite-based marine gravity model can be effectively used to analyze the geophysical, geological and geodetic characteristics in East Sea.

The researchers compiled two sets of digital terrain data released by NORI (National Oceanographic Research Institute, Korea) and NIMA (National Imagery and Mapping Agency, USA) respectively and analyzed a new set of $3"{\times}3"$ gridded terrain data in order to calculate terrain correction value in gravity in and around the Korean Peninsula. Using this new set of terrain data, the researchers developed an effective algorithm to calculate precise terrain correction value in gravity considering Earth's curvature and coded a fortran program to evaluate terrain correction value covering the surface of which the radius reaches up to 166.735 km. The researchers also calculated terrain correction value over the southern part of Korea. According to the statistics of terrain correction value calculated in and around the Korean Peninsula up to 166.735 km of surface radius, the maximum value soars to 56.508 mGal and the mean value is 4.539 mGal.

This paper describes the orthometric correction for determining the orthometric height obtained from height difference by precise leveling or GPS leveling. Five formulas are used to calculate the orthometric correction for two level lines as an examples. Based on the comparison results Strang van Hees' formula that use the surface gravity is better than the others to compute the orthometric corrections on spirit leveling and GPS/Leveling in an area where mean hight is high and terrain relief show high variability. Further research is necessary to improve the results of this study using Mader method, etc..

Gravity characteristics and Moho undulations are investigated in the Korean peninsula by using satellite gravity data. According to the development of satellite geodesy, gravity potential models which have high accuracy and resolution were released. Using the EIGEN-CGOIC model based on low orbit satellite data such as CHAMP and GRACE, geoid and gravity anomaly were calculated by spherical harmonic analysis. The study area is located at $123^{\circ}\sim132^{\circ}E, 33^{\circ}\sim43^{\circ}$N including Korea. Free-air anomalies, which show the effect of terrain, have the values between $-37\sim724 mgal. After Bouguer correction, the range of simple Bouguer anomalies is $-221\sim246$ mgal. Complete Bouguer anomalies after terrain correction increase from continent to marine. This phenomenon is related rise of Moho discontinuity. The cut-frequency for extraction of Moho undulation was determined by power spectrum analysis, and then 3D inversion modeling was implemented. The mean, maximum, minimum, and standard deviation of Moho depth undulation are -26, -36, -8, and 4.9 krn, respectively.

In this study, a series of data processing methods to calculate gravity anomaly from observed marine gravity data by NORI(National Oceanic Research Institute) using RV 'Hayang2000' in 1999 at southern part of the yellow sea were developed. As a results, the RMS difference of Free air anomaly among 264 crossover points is 0.436 mGal. The shipborne gravity data by NORI using RV 'Haeyang2000' will be very useful for gravitational research in and around Korean peninsula.
