Abstract

The GRACE satellite, Launched in March 2002, is applied to research on glacial melt of polar regions, glacial isostatic adjustment(GIA), sea level change, terrestrial water storage(TWS) variation of river basin and large-scale earthquake etc. In this research, the TWS variation of Yangtze river basin from August, 2002 to January, 2009 is analyzed using Level-2 GRACE monthly gravity field model. Particularly, gravity changes of the Three Gorges Dam during the impoundment process in 2003, 2006 and 2008 is observed by estimating equivalent water thickness(EWT). The research results show the distinct annual and seasonal changes of Yangtze river basin, and its amplitude of annual variation is 2.3cm. In addition, we compare the results with water resource statistics and hydrologic observation data to confirm the possibility of research of TWS variation of river basin using GRACE observation data, and also the satellite gravity data is of great help for the research on the movement and periodic changes of river basin.

2002년 3월에 발사되어 현재까지 임무 수행중인 GRACE위성의 관측자료는 극지방 빙하의 융해, 빙하 지각균형 조정, 해수면 변화, 하천유역의 저수량변화, 대규모 지진 등 지구시스템의 질량재분배에 대한 연구에 활발히 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GRACE위성의 Level-2 월별 중력장 모델을 이용하여 2002년 8월부터 2009년 1월 사이 양자강유역의 육지저수량 변화를 분석하였으며, 특히는 2003년, 2006년 및 2008년에 수행된 삼협댐의 3단계 저수과정에 의한 삼협댐 지역에서의 중력변화를 등가수분두께로 계산하여 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 연구기간 내의 양자강유역은 뚜렷한 연변화와 계절변화를 나타내었으며, 연변화의 진폭은 2.3cm로 계산되었다. 또한, 실제 수자원통계자료 및 수문관측자료와의 비교를 통하여 GRACE위성자료 이용 가능성을 확인하였으며, 이는 향후 위성중력자료를 이용하여 하천유역 내에서의 물의 이동 및 주기적인 변화 연구에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
