As the retrieval accuracy of PWV estimates from GPS measurements is proportional to the accuracy of water vapor WMT, the WMT model is a significant formulation in the conversion of PWV from the GPS ZWD. The purpose of this study is to develop a MWMT model for the retrieval of highly accurate GPS PWV using the radiosonde measurements from six upper-air observing stations in the region of Korea. The values of 1-hr PWV estimated at four GPS stations during one year are used to evaluate the validity of the MWMT model. It is compared to the PWV obtained from radiosonde data that are located in the vicinity of GPS stations. Intercomparison of radiosonde PWVs and GPS PWVs derived using different WMT models is performed to assess the quality of our MWMT model for Korea. The result in this study indicates that the MWMT model is an effective model to retrieve the enhanced accurate GPS PWV, compared to other GPS PWV derived by Korean annual or global WMT models.

To get accurate positions of GPS antennas, one should apply phase center variations (PCV) corrections in the data processing. Until recently, relative calibrations, originally proposed by National Geodetic Survey of United States, were the international standard. However, in late 2006, International GNSS Service will switch to absolute calibration methods. In this study, we compared the position differences caused by different PCV models, and their effects on the calculations of Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) in the atmosphere. Data from ${\sim}40$ permanent GPS stations in Korea were processed and we found that the vertical position differences reach up to 5 cm, depending on the model selected. Also the PWV values varied quite significantly: the maximum bias in the computed PWV values was ${\sim}4$ mm.

The purpose of establishing GPS networks of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) is aimed to assist land surveying or crustal deformation in the early stage. However, with a fast evolving and improving path the GPS technique has been extended to accurately measure atmospheric precip itable water vapor as a core objective of many projects developed in many countries and regions such as the SuomiNet (U.S., UNAVCO), COST716 (European, COST), GEONET (Japan, GSI), ...etc. In this paper, we present the current progress of the being-set-up GPS network in Taiwan whose atmospheric profile observations mainly count on the traditional radiosonde soundings as typically seen in any other part of the world. The GPS data collected from the Taiwan dense GPS network primarily supported by Central Weather Bureau are processed using the Bernese software version 4.2. Precipitable water vapor is then derived with the auxiliary surface meteorological measurements. Time series of precipitable water are examined and analyzed. A focus on the extreme weather cases is shown as an example.

Using the FSSP-100(FSSP) and Microwave Radiometer (MWR), the fog and clear day characteristics (the size and number concentration of fog particles and the liquid water content) have been measured and analyzed at Daegwallyoung observation site ($37^{\circ}41^{\prime}N$, $128^{\circ}45^{\prime}E$) during 27 - 30 November 2003 (fog day) and 19 January 2004 (clear day). During the fog days, the measured fog-particle size by using FSSP is 0.8~8.4 ${\mu}m$, which is similar to the WMO typical value, the fog number concentration varies from 121 to 200 count ($No./cm^2$) and the fog liquid water content from $0.018g/m^3-0.1g/m^3$ in the site. The precipitable water vapor obtained by the MWR, showing the correlation coefficient $R^2$=0.83 between the total precipitable water vapor obtained from the radio sonde and MWR, shows the larger amount (0.75-8.3 cm) during the fog days than the clear-sky data (0.2 cm).

GPS신호는 대류권을 지나면서 지연된다. 대류권에서의 신호지연은 건조공기에 의한 건조지연과 수증기에 의한 습윤지역으로 분리할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ’98년 5월 한달동안 대전, 수원에서 관측된 GPS자료를 최소자승법으로 처리하여 천장방향에 대한 총 대류권 신호지연값을 얻어내었다. 건조지연값은 지상기압을 정확하게 관측하면 얻어지므로 총대류권 지연양에서 건조지연값을 빼주면 천장방향의 습윤지연값을 얻게된다. 천장 습윤지연값은 대류층의 수증기양과 직접적으로 연관됨으로 수증기량을 측정하였고 결과의 신빙성을 검증하기 위해 오산에서 관측된 라디오존데 자료를 이용하여 계산한 대류권 수증기량과 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과 오산에서 가까운 수원의 경우 수증기량의 변화 경향이 라디오존데의 그것과 대체로 일치하였고 표준편차 3.68mm의 정도의 정확도를 보였다.

수증기는 지구 기후 변화를 관측하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 요소이며, 기상 예보 능력 향상을 위해 이용되고 있다. 그러나, 수증기 관측시 고가의 비용문제와 구조적인 이유로 정확하게 관측이 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. PWV측정을 위한 GPS 기상학 기술은 현재 선진국을 중심으로 활발히 연구되고 있다. GPS 기상학의 주요 핵심은 가중 평균 온도식과 기상 데이터와 연관된 PWV 정확도에 있다. 본 연구에서는 2003년 1년 동안 국내에서 운용중인 라디오존데 관측소 6개소의 기상관측 데이터를 이용하여 선형 회귀 방법에 의한 우리나라에 적합한 가중 평균 온도식을 결정하였다. 새로운 한국형 가중 평균 온도식과 기존의 연구에 의한 가중 평균 온도식에 의하여 GPS 관측치와 라디오존데 관측치에 의한 PWV 정확도를 실험하였다.

In order to calssify smog type durnig the summer season in Seoul, air Quality and meterorological data were analyzed by multivariate analysis. Among 15 variables relating to visibility, 10 variables were selected by multiple regression analysis for clustering of smog types; total suspended particle, sulfur dioxide, ozone, ntrogen dioxide, total hydrocarbon, south-north wind component, ralative humidity, precipitable water, mixing height and air temperature. Somg types were grouped into three clusters using cubic clustering criterion and the mumbers of days in each cluster were contained 74, 28 and 16 days. Each cluster was seperated clearly by sulfur dioxide, precipitable water and air teperature. The first cluster was representative of high ozone concentration and prevailing meterological conditions for ozone formation. Therefore, visibility in the first cluster was considered to be affected by photochemical smog. The third cluster showed characteristics of sulphurous smog type due to the higher concentration of primary pollutant, based on the dry condition than that in another cluster. On the other hand, the characteristic of the second cluster was not relatively clear, but considered to be in an intermediate characteristic between photochemical smog and sulphurous smog type.

The mean temperature is one of the key parameters in computing Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) from Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements and is usually derived as a function of surface temperature through the use of a mean temperature equation (MTE). In this study, two new types of MTEs were developed as functions solely of the observation time so that the mean temperature can be obtained without surface temperature measurements. To validate the new models, we created one-year time series of GPS-derived PWV using the new MTEs and compared them with the radiosonde-observed PWV. The bias and root-mean-square error were on the other of ~1 mm and ~2 mm, respectively.

The wind field and precipitable water vapor over the Tibetan Plateau are analyzed using the numerical model WRF. The spatial and vertical distributions of the relevant meteorological factors are summarized, providing evidence for selecting and further evaluating an astronomical site. This study serves as a further demonstration towards astro-climate regionalization, and provides us with an essential database for an astronomical site survey over the Tibetan Plateau.

한국천문연구원은 $1\;-\;5{\mu}m$ 파장영역에서 관측 가능한 근적외선 카메라 KASINICS(Korea Astronomy and Space science Institute Near Infrared Camera System)를 개발하였다. 열적외선이 강해지는 $3{\mu}m$ 이상의 파장영역에서는 대기 중의 수증기에 의한 대기투과도가 중요해진다. 이 논문에서는 국내 천문대의 적외선 관측 조건을 알아보기 위해 한국천문연구원의 GPS 신호를 이용한 PWV(Precipitable Water Vapor) 측정 시스템을 사용하여 2006년 7월부터 2007년 8월까지의 보현산 및 소백산 상공의 월별 PWV 분포를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 국내 대기 수증기량 조건은 지표면의 이슬점온도를 이용해서 추정한 예상보다 좋았으며, 특히 가을철 및 겨울철에는 미국 Kitt Peak 천문대 상공의 조건과 비교하여 크게 다르지 않음을 확인하였다.
