Accuracy of the Position by Automatic Loran-C Receiver in the East Sea and Southern Sea of the Korea Peninsular

A series of observations was conducted in order to study the accuracy of the Jlosition by automatic Loran-C navigation system with two Loran-C chains, namely 5970 and 9970 Chain, in the EJst Sea and Southern Sea of the Korean Peninsular from July to September 1986. Diurnal variation of positional error measured by 5970 Chain was almost stable throughout a whole day, and it was fairly stabl2 in the daytime but fluctuated more or less by night at each station by 9970 Chain. Daily mean values of positional error by 5970 Chain were 6'.44 SWat U1reungdo, 0'.22 SE at Jugbyeon, 0'.91 NE at Guryongpo, 0'.37 SE at Pusan, 0'.30 SE at Yokchi, 0'.37 NW at Cheju and 12'.51 SE at Taeheuksan. By 9970 Chain, they Wer2 0'.27 SWat Ulreungdo, 0'.27 SE at Jugbyeon, 0'.09 SWat Guryongpo, 0'.19 SE at Pusan, 0'. IG SE at Yokchi, 0'.17 Sr:: at Cheju and 0'.52 SE at Taeheuksan.
