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 Gravity-Geologic Method (GGM) was implemented for bathymetric determinations in the Drake Passage, Antarctica, using global marine Free-air Gravity Anomalies (FAGA) data sets by Sandwell and Smith (1997) and local echo sounding measurements. Of the 6548 bathymetric sounding measurements, two thirds of these points were used as control depths, while the remaining values were used as checkpoints. A density contrast of 9.0 gm/㎤ was selected based on the checkpoints predictions with changes in the density contrast assumed between the seawater and ocean bottom topographic mass. Control depths from the echo soundings were used to determine regional gravity components that were removed from FAGA to estimate the gravity effects of the bathymetry. These gravity effects were converted to bathymetry by inversion. In particular, a selective merging technique was developed to effectively combine the echo sounding depths with the GGM bathymetiy to enhance high frequency components along the shipborne sounding tracklines. For the rugged bathymetry of the research area, the GGM bathymetry shows correlation coefficients (CC) of 0.91, 0.92, and 0.85 with local shipborne sounding by KORDI, GEODAS, and a global ETOPO5 model, respectively. The enhanced GGM by selective merging shows imploved CCs of 0.948 and 0.954 with GEODAS and Smith & Sandwell (1997)'s predictions with RMS differences of 449.8 and 441.3 meters. The global marine FAGA data sets and other bathymetric models ensure that the GGM can be used in conjunction with shipborne bathymetry from echo sounding to extend the coverage into the unmapped regions, which should generate better results than simply gridding the sparse data or relying upon lower resolution global data sets such as ETOPO5.

Bathymetry change due to the 2011 Tohoku (M9.0) earthquake was investigated through satellite altimetry-derived free-air gravity anomalies (SAFAGA) and shipborne measurements. The earthquake occurred at the plate boundaries near the northeastern coast of Japan, where the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate along deep-sea trench. Data analyzed in this study include SAFAGA from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), shipborne bathymetry (SB) from the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth-Science And Technology (JAMSTEC). To estimate the bathymetry change, a reference bathymetry before the earthquake was predicted by gravity-geologic method (GGM) and Smith & Sandwell’s (SAS) method. In comparison with the bathymetry models before the earthquake, GGM bathymetry model generated by a tuning density contrast of 17.04 g/cm³ by downward continuation method was selected because it shows better bathymetry in the short wavelength below about 6 km. From the results, remarkable bathymetry change of about ±50 m was found on the west side of the Japan Trench caused by the earthquake.

본 연구는 ILP(International Lithosphere Project) Task Group II-4가 진행하고 있는 상부맨틀에 대한 3차원 구조도 작성 연구의 일환으로 수행되어졌으며 구조도 작성을 위한 데이터 베이스의 구조는 task group의 표준안을 따랐다. 기존 문헌과 기존의 데이터 베이스를 통해서 획득된 자료를 이용해 동해와 그 주변을 대상으로 하는 지역의 ($32-45^{\circ}$E, $122-148^{\circ}$N) 상부 670km까지의 3차원 구조도 작성을 위한 초기 모델을 구축하였으며, 이 절차를 최대한 자동화하는 프로그램을 포트란을 이용해 만들어보았다. 연구 지역에 대한 곡율을 계산하기 위해 표준타원체 모델인 WGS84과 geoid undulation 모델인 EGM96을 사용했으며 지형 고도 자료는 GTOPO30, GLOBE 1.0, 그리고 Smith and Sandwell 데이터베이스를 사용하여 지구 중심으로부터 지표까지의 거리를 구하였다. 연구지역은 $0.25^{\circ}$간격으로 나누었으며 총 5777개의 격자점을 정의하였으며 각각의 격자점에 1차원 수직구조를 부여함으로써 3차원 모델을 구축하였다. 그리고 지형적으로나 지질학적으로 유사한 지역을 하나의 구역으로 정의하고 동일한 수직구조를 부여함으로써 모든 격자점에 1차원 수직구조를 정의하지 않도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 지표 지질은 모델에 고려하지 않았지만 지형학적으로 의미가 있는 분지나 수평적으로 불균질성이 뚜렷한 지역을 중심으로 연구 지역의 리젼을 정의하였다. 중요 리젼에 대한 지각구조에 대해서는 기존의 문헌을 통해 모델치를 정의하였으며 지각 하부부터 상부 670km에 대한 부분은 Task Group에서 제시한 표준 모델을 이용했다. 모델을 정의하기 위해 주어진 격자점에 대한 지구 중심으로부터 지오이드까지의 거리, 지오이드로부터 지표까지의 거리를 정의해주었으며, 각 격자점의 수직구조를 정의하기 위해 깊이에 따른 각 매질의 밀도, P파의 속도, S파의 속도, P파에 대한 Q값, S파에 대한 Q값을 정의 해주었다. S파의 속도를 구하기 위해서 지구 내부 물질을 포아송 매질이라는 가정 하에, 관계식을 $Vp{\;}={\;}SQRT(3){\;}{\times}{\;}Vs$ 이용하였다. 획득한 모델치들을 이용해 동해와 동해 인근 지역에 대한 초기모델을 구축하였다.
