Localized atmospheric conditions between multi-reference stations can bring the tropospheric delay irregularity that becomes an error terms affecting positioning accuracy in network RTK environment. Imbalanced network error can affect the network solutions and it can corrupt the entire network solution and degrade the correction accuracy. If an anomaly could be detected before the correction message was generated, it is possible to eliminate the anomalous satellite that can cause degradation of the network solution during the tropospheric delay anomaly. An atmospheric grid that consists of four meteorological stations was used to detect an inhomogeneous weather conditions and tropospheric anomaly applied AWSs (automatic weather stations) meteorological data. The threshold of anomaly detection algorithm was determined based on the statistical weather data of AWSs for 5 years in an atmospheric grid. From the analytic results of anomaly detection algorithm it showed that the proposed algorithm can detect an anomalous satellite with an anomaly flag generation caused tropospheric delay anomaly during localized atmospheric conditions between stations. It was shown that the different precipitation condition between stations is the main factor affecting tropospheric anomalies.

In this study, the temporal and spatial variation in precipitable water vapor (PWV) was analyzed for typhoon Ewiniar which had made landfall in the Korean peninsula in 2006. To make a contour map of PWV, zenith total delay (ZTD) was calculated using about 60 GPS permanent stations in Korea, and the pressure and temperature data of nearby AWS stations were interpolated and applied to the equation for calculating the PWV. While Typhoon Ewiniar was migrating north from the southern coast to the eastern coast of Korea, the PWV migrated showing a spatial distribution similar to that of rainfall. Also, the fluctuating pattern of the normalized PWV was analyzed, and the moving speed of the PWV was estimated using the delay time of the increase/decrease pattern in the eight-test stations. The result indicated that the moving speed of the PWV was about 35 km/h, which was similar to the average moving speed of the typhoon (38.9 km/h).

GNSS를 이용한 가강수량 복원에 있어서 가중 평균 기온과 더불어 천정 건조 지연 모델은 가강수량의 정확도에 중요한 매개변수 중 하나이다. 천정 습윤 지연은 천정 건조 지연 모델의 오차가 축적되는 경향을 가지고 있으므로, 천정 건조 지연의 편의량은 GNSS 가강수량의 정확도에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Saastamoinen, Hopfield 및 Black의 세 가지 천정 건조 지연 모델을 이용하여 GNSS 가강수량을 산출하고 라디오존데 가강수량과의 정확도를 비교하였다. 그리고 이 과정에서 가강수량 산출에 필요한 가중 평균 기온을 한국형 가중 평균 기온 모델과 라디오존데로부터 실제로 관측한 가중 평균 기온을 각각 적용하여 다르게 평가하였다. 이를 위해 국내 상시관측소 5개소의 1년 분량의 GNSS 관측데이터를 취득한 후 천정 건조 지연 모델별로 가강수량을 산출하고 정밀도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한국형 가중 평균 기온 모델에 기반하여 복원한 GNSS 가강수량이 라디오존데의 가중 평균 기온을 적용한 것보다 편의량이 작은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, GNSS 기상에서 널리 적용하고 있는 Saastamoinen 모델은 우리나라 관측소의 위도나 고도에 의한 편의량이 발생하여 가장 유효한 모델이 아닐 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

Over the last decade, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been increasingly utilized as a meteorological research tool. The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has also been developing a near real-time GNSS precipitable water vapor (PWV) information management system that can produce a precise PWV for the Korean Peninsula region using GNSS data processing and meteorological measurements. The goal of this paper is to evaluate whether the precise point positioning (PPP) strategy will be used as the new data processing strategy of the GNSS-PWV information management system. For this purpose, quality assessment has been performed by means of a comparative analysis of the troposphere zenith total delay (ZTD) estimates from KASI PPP solutions (KPS), KASI network solutions (KNS), and International GNSS Service (IGS) final troposphere products (IFTP) for ten permanent GNSS stations in the Korean Peninsula. The assessment consists largely of two steps: First, the troposphere ZTD of the KNS are compared to those of the IFTP for only DAEJ and SUWN, in which the IFTP are used as the reference. Second, the KPS are compared to the KNS for all ten GNSS stations. In this step, the KNS are used as a new reference rather than the IFTP, because it was proved in the previous step that the KNS can be a suitable reference. As a result, it was found that the ZTD values from both the KPS and the KNS followed the same overall pattern, with an RMS of 5.36 mm. When the average RMS was converted into an error of GNSS-PWV by considering the typical ratio of zenith wet delay and PWV, the GNSS-PWV error met the requirement for PWV accuracy in this application. Therefore, the PPP strategy can be used as a new data processing strategy in the near real-time GNSS-PWV information management system.

The objective of this study is to improve an accuracy of PWV estimates using GPS in Korea. We determined a weighted mean temperature equation by a linear regression method based on 6 radiosonde meteorological observations, for a total 17,129 profiles, from 2003 to 2005. Weighted mean temperature, Tm, is a key parameter in the retrieval of atmospheric PWV from ground-based GPS measurements of zenith path delay. The accuracy of the GPS-derived PWV is proportional to the accuracy of Tm. And we applied the reduction of air Pressure to GPS station altitude. The reduction value of air pressure from mean sea level to GPS stations altitude is adopted a reverse sea level correction.

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is widely used for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) applications. It is difficult to obtain precise positions with an EKF one-way (forward or backward) filter. In this paper, we propose an EKF smoother to improve the positioning accuracy by integrating forward and backward filters. For the EKF smoother experiment, we performed PPP using GNSS data received at the DAEJ reference station for a month. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated with multi-GNSS kinematic PPP experiments. The EKF smoother showed 35%, 6%, and 22% improvement in east, north, and up directions, respectively. In addition, accurate tropospheric zenith total delay (ZTD) values were calculated by a smoother. Therefore, the results from EKF smoother demonstrate that better accuracy of position can be achieved.

본 연구에서는 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 신호가 전송되는 동안 발생하는 오차 중 대류권 지연오차를 추정하고, 이를 날씨 및 계절별 요소와 비교 분석했다. 이를 위해, 내륙지역인 충주와 평창, 해안지역인 제주, 거문도의 총 4개의 상시관측소를 선정하고, 2016년 중 매주 하루씩, 각 상시관측소마다 총 48일의 데이터를 이용하여 과학기술용 자료처리 소프트웨어로 정밀절대측위를 수행했다. 겨울철 대류권 지연오차는 평균 2400mm 미만으로, 2600mm 수준인 여름의 경우와 비교했을 때 약 200mm 가량 차이가 발생했다. 추정한 대류권 지연오차는 절대적인 지연량의 차이를 제외하면 모든 상시관측소에 대해서 변화 양상이 비슷하며, 해안지역의 지연오차가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 또한, 겨울에는 24시간 대류권 지연오차의 변화량이 상대적으로 적으며, 평균적인 대류권 지연오차는 상시관측소의 표고와 직접적인 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 건조하고 온도 차이가 큰 내륙지역에서는 습도보다 강수량에 영향을 받은 대류권 지연오차의 변화가 발생하고, 다습한 해안지역에서는 강수보다 바다의 습도로 인한 변화가 큰 것으로 판단된다. 온도와 증기압의 상관계수는 모든 지역에서 0.9 이상을 나타냈으며, 대류권 지연오차는 온도와 높은 선형적 상관성을 보였다. 향후 연간 데이터 전체를 이용하여 시간적 해상도를 높인 연구분석을 수행함으로써 보다 신뢰도 높은 상관성 분석이 이루어질 필요가 있다.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been extensively used for geodetic applications. Since December 2012, BeiDou navigation satellite system has provided regional positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services over the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, many studies on BeiDou system have been conducted, particularly in the area of precise orbit determination and precise positioning. In this paper PPP method based on BeiDou observations are presented. GPS and BeiDou data obtained from Mokpo (MKPO) station are processed using the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) PPP software. The positions are derived from the GPS PPP, BeiDou B₁/B₂ PPP and BeiDou B₁/B₃ PPP, respectively. The position errors on BeiDou PPP show a mean bias < 2 cm in the east and north components and approximately 3 cm in the vertical component. It indicates that BeiDou PPP is ready for the precise positioning applications in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, BeiDou tropospheric zenith total delay (ZTD) is compared to GPS ZTD at MKPO station. The mean value of their difference is approximately 0.52 cm.

The performance of up-to-date mapping functions and various mean temperature equations were analyzed to derive optimal mapping function and mean temperature equation when GNSS precipitable water vapor (PWV) was investigated in the Korean Peninsula. Bernese GNSS Software 5.2, which can perform high precision GNSS data processing, was used for accurate analysis, and zenith total delay (ZTD) required to calculate PWV was estimated via the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method. GNSS, radiosonde, and meteorological data from 2009 to 2014 were acquired from Sokcho Observatory and used. ZTDs estimated by applying the global mapping function (GMF) and Vienna mapping function 1 (VMF1) were compared with each other in order to evaluate the performance of the mapping functions. To assess the performance of mean temperature equations, GNSS PWV was calculated by using six mean temperature equations and a difference with radiosonde PWV was investigated. Conclusively, accuracy of data processing was improved more when using VMF1 than using GMF. A mean temperature equation proposed by Wu (2003) had the smallest difference with that in the radiosonde in the analysis including all seasons. In summer, a mean temperature equation proposed by Song & Grejner-Brzezinska (2009) had the closest results with that of radiosonde. In winter, a mean temperature equation proposed by Song (2009) showed the closest results with that of radiosonde.
