Abstract

The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal is delayed by the neutral atmosphere at the troposphere, so that the delay is one of major error sources for GNSS precise positioning. The tropospheric delay is an integrated refractive index along the path of GNSS signal. The refractive index is empirically related to standard meteorological variables, such as pressure, temperature and water vapor partial pressure, therefore the tropospheric delay could be calculated from them. In this paper, it is presented how to generate meteorological data where observation cannot be performed. KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute) has operated 9 GPS (Global Positioning System) permanent stations equipped with co-located MET3A, which is a meteorological sensor. Meteorological data are generated from observations of MET3A by Ordinary Kriging. To compensate a blank of observation data, simple models which consider periodic characteristics for meteorological data, are employed.

대류층의 중성 대기는 전자가파의 신호 지연을 일으키기 때문에, GNSS(Global Navigation Satel-lite System)를 이용한 정밀측위의 가장 큰 오차요인으로 작용한다. 대류층 지연오차는 대류층의 굴절률과 연관 있으며, 대류층의 굴절률은 경험적으로 압력, 온도 및 수증기 분압으로 표현된다. 따라서 GNSS 안테나 위치의 기상 정보를 알고 있다면, 대류층 지연오차는 경험적 법칙에 의해 산출될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 임의의 장소와 시간에 대한 대류층 지연오차를 생성하기 위한 기상정보 생성에 대하여 연구하였다. 한국천문연구원이 운영하는 9개의 상시 관측소에 설치된 디지털 기상 센서의 관측값을 가지고 범용 크리깅 (Ordinary Kriging)을 적용하여 기상 정보를 생성하였고, 상시 관측소의 데이터 공백을 메우기 위해 각 상시관측소의 기상 데이터를 분석하여 수치 모델을 만들어 보완하였다.
