Abstract

Impact of tropospheric correction techniques on accuracy of the GPS (Global Positioning System) derived ellipsoidal heights has been experimentally assessed in this paper. To this end, 247 baselines were constructed from a total of 88 CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations) in Korea. The GPS measurements for seven days, acquired from the so-called integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) data center via internet connection, have been processed by two baseline processing software packages with an application of the empirical models, such as Hopfield, modified Hopfield and Saastamoinen, and the estimation techniques based on the DD (Double-Differenced) measurements and the PPP (Precise Point Positioning) technique; hence a total number of the baseline processed and tested was 8,645. Accuracy and precision of the estimated heights from the various correction schemes were analyzed about baseline lengths and height differences of the testing baselines. Details of these results are summarized with a view to hopefully providing an overall guideline of a suitable selection of the modeling scheme with respect to processing conditions, such as the baseline length and the height differences.

본 논문에서는 GPS 높이측량의 정확도 제고 측면에서 대류권오차 보정방법이 기선해석을 통한 타원체고 추정 정확도와 정밀도에 미치는 영향을 실험적 방법에 의해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 국내 상시관측소 88점을 이용해 기선장과 표고차에 따라 247개 기선을 구성하고, GNSS 통합 데이터센터로부터 7일 분량의 관측 데이터를 취득한 후 2가지 기선해석 소프트웨어에 의해 Hopfield, 수정 Hopfield 그리고 Saastamoinen와 같은 경험식과 이중차분 및 정밀절대측위 대류권 오차 추정기법을 적용해 총 8,645개 실험기선을 처리하였다. 산정한 각 관측점 타원체고의 정확도와 정밀도를 오차 보정기법 따라 계산하고 기선장과 표고차와 같은 기선 구성 조건에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 통해 대류권오차 보정방식의 특징을 정확도와 정밀도 측면에서 고찰하고 GPS 높이측량의 기선해석에서 기선장과 표고차에 대해 적합한 대류권오차 모형화 기법선정을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
