In this study, we developed a global ionosphere model based on measurements from a worldwide network of global positioning system (GPS). The total number of the international GPS reference stations for development of ionospheric model is about 100 and the spherical harmonic expansion approach as a mathematical method was used. In order to produce the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) based on grid form, we defined spatial resolution of 2.0 degree and 5.0 degree in latitude and longitude, respectively. Two-dimensional TEC maps were constructed within the interval of one hour, and have a high temporal resolution compared to global ionosphere maps which are produced by several analysis centers. As a result, we could detect the sudden increase of TEC by processing GPS observables on 29 October, 2003 when the massive solar flare took place.

Ionospheric signal delay is a critical factor for precision differential GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite Systems) applications such as GBAS(Ground-Based Augmentation System) and SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System). Most concern is the impact of the ionospheric storm caused by the interaction between Solar and geomagnetic activities. After brief description of the ionosphere and ionospheric storm, ionospheric models for SBAS are discussed. History of recent ionospheric storms is reviewed and their impact on GNSS is discussed. In order to support Korean GNSS augmentation system development, a preliminary study on the regional ionosphere performed. A software tool for computing regional ionospheric maps is being developed, and initial results during a recent storm period is analyzed.

An ionospheric error simulation is needed for creating precise Global Positioning System (GPS) signal using GPS simulator. In this paper we developed Klobuchar coefficients n ${\alpha}_n$ and ${\beta}_n$ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) generation algorithms for simulator and verified accuracy of the algorithm. The algorithm extract those Klobuchar coefficients from broadcast (BRDC) messages provided by International GNSS Service during three years from 2006 through 2008 and curve-fit them with sinusoidal and linear functions or constant. The generated coefficients from our developed algorithms are referred to as MODL coefficients, while those coefficients from BRDC messages are named as BRDC coefficients. The maximum correlation coefficient between MODL and BRDC coefficients was found for ${\alpha}_2$ and the value was 0.94. On the other hand, the minimum correlation was 0.64 for the case of ${\alpha}_1$. We estimated vertical total electron content using the Klobuchar model with MODL coefficients, and compared the result with those from the BRDC model and global ionosphere maps. As a result, the maximum RMS was 3.92 and 7.90 TECU, respectively.

One of the major sources of error in precise GPS positioning since the turn-off the Selective Availability(SA) is the ionospheric propagation delay. For the last decades, a lot of the ionospheric researches based on a GPS network have been implemented throughout the world. Especially researches of the ionospheric modeling for Wide Area Argumentation System(WAAS) have been undertaken and published. In mid-latitude regions, typical spatial and temporal variations in ionospheric models delay tend to minimal. The developed ionospheric model calls for a 1.25 degree grid at latitudes and a 2.5 degree grid at longitudes. The precise grid TEC estimated by the inversion technique is also compared with global ionosphere maps(GIMs) which have been provided by several analysis centers(ACs). The results of initial investigations into the suitability of the proposed ionospheric modeling scheme in north-east Asia are presented.

Ionopheric deley is the largest error sources in GNSS positining. The single frequency receiver user needs an ionospheric model like the Klobuchar model or NeQuick model to eliminate the ionospheric error. In this study we estimated VTEC(Vertical Total Electron Content) over DAEJ station using the two models in each season. We compared the results with Global Ionosphere Maps and International Reference Ionosphere model predictions. As a result, the NeQuick model was more accurate than Klobuchar model.

The Chinese BeiDou Satellite Navigation System consists of three kinds of constellations: the geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), the inclined geosynchronous satellite orbit (IGSO), and the medium Earth orbit (MEO). The BeiDou has expanded its service coverage from regional to global. Recently, the BeiDou has been widely used in ionospheric total electron content (TEC) research. In this study, we analyzed the BeiDou signals for ionospheric TEC monitoring over Jeju Island in South Korea. The BeiDou GEO TEC showed a clear pattern of diurnal variations. In addition, we compared the TEC values from the BeiDou GEO, the BeiDou IGSO, GPS, and International GNSS Service (IGS) Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM). There was a difference of about 5 TEC units between the BeiDou GEO and the IGS GIM. This may be due to the altitude difference between the different navigation satellites.

현재 전리층 지연은 GNSS 측량의 가장 큰 오차이다. 단일 주파수 수신기 사용자는 전리층 지연을 모델링 하거나 보정하기 위하여 전리층 보정 알고리즘을 적용해야 한다. 실시간 보정이 가능한 전리층 모델로는 항법메시지로 제공되는 GPS의 Klobuchar 모델과 Galileo의 NeQuick 모델이 있다. 이 연구에서는 두 모델의 효용성을 계절과 위도에 따라 평가하였다. 첫 번째 검증으로, 각 계절별로 수원 GPS 상시관측소 상공의 연직방향 총전자수를 산출하였다. 두 번째 검증으로는 위도가 서로 다른 3개 상시관측소(철원, 수원, 제주)에서의 VTEC을 계산해 관측소 위도와의 상관성을 분석하였다. 산출된 총전자수는 전지구 전리층 모델인 GIM 모델과 IRI 모델에서 제공하는 총전자수와 비교하였다. 그리고 GIM 모델과 IRI 모델을 기준으로 Klobuchar 모델과 NeQuick 모델의 RMS 차이를 각각 산출하였다. 그 결과, 계절과 관측소 위도와 무관하게 NeQuick 모델의 RMS 차이가 Klobuchar 모델의 RMS 차이보다 약 0.01~3.50 TECU 낮게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to develop precise point positioning (PPP) algorithms based on GLONASS code-pseudorange, verify their performance and present their utility. As the basic correction models of PPP, we applied Inter Frequency Bias (IFB), relativistic effect, satellite antenna phase center offset, and satellite orbit and satellite clock errors, ionospheric errors, and tropospheric errors that must be provided on a real-time basis. The satellite orbit and satellite clock errors provided by Information-Analytical Centre (IAC) are interpolated at each observation epoch by applying the Lagrange polynomial method and linear interpolation method. We applied Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) provided by International GNSS Service (IGS) for ionospheric errors, and increased the positioning accuracy by applying the true value calculated with GIPSY for tropospheric errors. As a result of testing the developed GLONASS PPP algorithms for four days, the horizontal error was approximately 1.4 ~ 1.5 m and the vertical error was approximately 2.5 ~ 2.8 m, showing that the accuracy is similar to that of GPS PPP.

기상청 국가기상위성센터에서는 우주기상 업무의 일환으로 국내 GNSS 관측자료를 이용한 기상 및 우주기상 활용체계를 구축하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내 GNSS 관측망 자료를 이용한 준실시간 전리권 총전자밀도(TEC) 산출 시스템을 소개하고 산출된 결과를 제시하고자 한다. 국가기상위성센터의 준실시간 전리권 총전자밀도 산출 시스템에서는 국가지리정보원, 한국천문연구원, 위성항법 중앙사무소 및 기상청, 총 80여개의 GNSS 관측자료를 수집하고, 수집된 자료에 대하여 24시간 시간 창 기법(Time Windowing Method)을 적용하여 각 지점별 전리권 TEC 자료를 매시간 산출하고, 산출된 각 지점별 IPP(Ionospheric Pierce Point)에서의 TEC 값을 반스 내삽(Barnes Interpolation)을 사용하여 한반도 상공의 전리권 총전자밀도 격자자료를 생성하였다. 생성된 TEC 격자값을 IGS(International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 전지구 전리권 총전자밀도 지도와 비교한 결과 한반도 상공의 전리권 상태를 더 잘 기술할 수 있음을 보였다.
