Abstract
Topex/Poseidon satellite, launched in Auguest 1992, has provided more 5 years of very good quality data. Efficient improvements, either about instrumental accuracy or about sea level data correction, have been made so that Topex/Poseidon has become presently a wonderful tool for many researchers. The first mission data of 73 cycles, September 1992 - August 1994, was used to our study in order to know characteristics of environmental correction factors in the Amsterdam-Crozet-Kerguelen region of the South Indian Ocean. According to standard procedures as defined under user handbook for sea surface height data processes, then we have chosen cycles 43 as the cycle of reference because this cycle has provided the completed data for measurement points and has presented the exacted position of ground track compared to another cycles. It was computed variations of various factors for correction in ascending ground track 103(Amsterdam-Kerguelen continental plateau) and descending ground track170 (Crozet basin). Here the variations of ionosphere, dry troposphere, humid troposphere, electromagnetic bias, elastic tide and loading tide were generally very smaller as a few of cm, but the variations of oceanic tide(30-35cm) and inverted barometer(15-30cm) were higher than another factors. For the correction of ocean tide, our model(CEFMO: Code d' Elements Finis pour la Maree Oceanique) - This is hydrodynamic model that is very well applicated in all oceanic situations - was used because this model has especially good solution in the coastal and island area as the open sea area. Conclusionally, it should be understood that the variation of ocean free surface is mainly under the influence of tides(>80-90%) in the Amsterdam - Crozet- Kerguelen region of the South Indian Ocean.
본 연구는 Topeux/Poseidon 위성의 첫 운행인 1992년 9월~1994년 8월(2년간, 73 사이클) 동안에 남인도양의 암스테르담-코호제트-케르겔른 지역(35$^{\circ}$-55$^{\circ}$S, 55$^{\circ}$-80$^{\circ}$E)에서의 환경학적 보정인자들의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 환경 보정인자들의 특성이 지역에 따라 어떻게 다른가를 알아 보기 위하여, 상승 지상트랙 103이 지나는 암스테르담-케르겔른 대지지역과 하강 지상트랙 170이 지나는 코호제트 분지지역으로 구분하여 비교하였다. 전리권, 건조 및 습윤 대류권, 전자기적 편차, 탄성조, 하중조들과 같은 보정인자들의 변화폭은 일반적으로 수 cm 이하로 나타났으나, 해양조 및 해면기압의 변화폭은 각각 30~35cm, 15~30cm로서 다른 보정인자들의 변화폭 보다 상당히 높게 나타났다. 남인도 양의 해수면 변화는 주로 해양조석에 기인하며 그 기여도는 80~90%에 이른다. 그리고 두 번째의 기여 인자는 해면기압으로 무시할 수 없을 정도로 중요한 환경 보정인자임을 알 수 있었다
