Precise regional geoid heights on and around Mount Jiri were calculated and were compared to the KNGeoid14 (Korean National Geoid 2014) model. In this study, gravimetric geoid heights were calculated by using RCR (Remove-Compute-Restore) technique and then hybrid geoid heights were calculated by using the LSC (Least Square Collocation) method in the same area. In addition, gravity observation and GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) surveying performed in this study were utilized to determine gravimetric geoid heights and to compute hybrid geoid heights, respectively. The results of the study show that the post-fit error (mean and standard deviation) of hybrid geoid heights was evaluated as $0.057{\pm}0.020m$, while the mean and standard deviation of the differences were -0.078 and 0.085 m, respectively for KNGeoid14. Therefore, hybrid geoid heights in this study show more considerable progress than KNGeoid14.

After launching the GOCE (Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer) which obtains high-frequency gravity signal using a gravity gradiometer, many research institutes are concentrating on the development of GGM (Global Geopotential Model) based on GOCE data and evaluating its precision. The precision of some GGMs was also evaluated in Korea. However, some studies dealt with GGMs constructed based on initial GOCE data or others applied a part of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) / Leveling data on UCPs (Unified Control Points) for the precision evaluation. Now, GGMs which have a higher degree than EGM2008 (Earth Gravitational Model 2008) are available and UCPs were fully established at the end of 2019. Thus, EIGEN-6C4 (European Improved Gravity Field of the Earth by New techniques - 6C4), GECO (GOCE and EGM2008 Combined model), XGM2016 (Experimental Gravity Field Model 2016), SGG-UGM-1, XGM2019e_2159 were collected with EGM2008, and their precisions were assessed based on the GNSS/Leveling data on UCPs. Among GGMs, it was found that XGM2019e_2159 showed the minimum difference compared to a total of 5,313 points of GNSS/Leveling data. It is about a 1.5cm and 0.6cm level of improvement compare to EGM2008 and EIGEN-6C4. Especially, the local biases in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Jeju island shown in the EGM2008 was removed, so that both mean and standard deviation of the difference of XGM2019e_2159 to the GNSS/Leveling are homogeneous regardless of region (mountainous or plain area). NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) is currently in progress in developing EGM2020 and XGM2019e_2159 is the experimentally published model of EGM2020. Therefore, it is expected that the improved GGM will be available shortly so that it is necessary to verify the precision of new GGMs consistently.
