Ionospheric time delay is one of the main error source for single-frequency DGPS applications, including time transfer and Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS). Grid-based algorithm was already developed for WADGPS but that algorithm is not applicable to geomagnetic storm condition in accuracy and management. In geomagnetic storm condition, the spatial distribution of vertical ionospheric delay is noisy and therefore the accuracy of modeling become low in grid-based algorithm. For better accuracy, function based algorithm can be used but the continuity of correction message is not guranteed. In this paper, we propose the ionospheric model using wavelet based algorithm. This algorithm shows better accuracy with the same number of correction message than the existing spherical harmonics algorithm and guarantees the continuity of correction messages when the number of message is expanded for geomagnetic storm condition.

The interest of sediment has been increased daily because most of domestic dam reservoir's operation time have been extended and wide basin area is the main characteristics for artificial reservoir which the speed of water flow in artificial reservoir is slower than that of natural reservoir. Therefore a lot of sediment has been significantly accumulated. In this study, the accurate topographic data were obtained using echo-sounding system. GPS survey, low-frequency sub-bottom profiler, and high-frequency echo-sounding system were used to compute the exact amount of sediment. Based on the results, DEM(Digital Elevation Model) and DSM(Digital Surface Model) were generated. The GIS system for the management of sediment was created based on topographic data on the riverbed and this system can be efficiently used for the management of sediment which caused the problems of reservoir capacity and water quality.

To provide effective management policy of geo-heritages, concept of Korean geo-heritage has been organized based on geo-diversity, geo-conservation, geo-tourism, and earth-heritage. In addition, current status of geo-heritage in Korea has been grasped, and categorized. In case GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates exist, spatial information was constructed as GIS (Geographic Information System). Geo-heritages were classified into a total of six categories of natural monument, scenic site, coastal sand-dune, natural cave, world nature heritage, and other types of geo-heritage. By mapping 991 geo-heritages scattered nationwide using geographical information, all statuses can now be readily identified and enable the analysis of the distribution tendencies and correlation with topography. This study was aimed at searching the political connection based on quantitatively organized and analyzed geo-heritages, which have not been mapped thus far. In addition, this study organized data that have existed only in literature, and presented example verification. Moreover, these can be used as guidelines for the future search, discovery, registration and management of geo-heritage. If additional geo-heritages are discovered in field studies or with satellite images, then more correlations may be identified and help facilitate the research on geo-heritages management plans.

Recently, the development of accurate gravity-meter and GPS make it possible to obtain high resolution gravity data. Though gravity data interpretation like modeling and inversion has significantly improved, gravity data processing itself has improved very little. Conventional gravity data processing removes gravity effects due to mass and height difference between base and measurement level. But, it would be a biased density model when some or whole part of anomalous bodies exist above the base level. We attempted to make a multiquadric surface of the survey area from topography with DEM (Digital Elevation Map) data. Then we constituted rectangular blocks which reflect real topography of the survey area by the multiquadric surface. Thus, we were able to carry out 3-D inversions which include information of topography. We named this technique, 3-D Gravity Terrain Inversion (3DGTI). The model test showed that the inversion model from 3DGTI made better results than conventional methods. Furthermore, the 3-dimensional model from the 3DGTI method could maintain topography and as a result, it showed more realistic geologic model. This method was also applied on real field data in Masan-Changwon area. Granitic intrusion is an important geologic characteristic in this area. This method showed more critical geological boundaries than other conventional methods. Therefore, we concluded that in the case of various rocks and rugged terrain, this new method will make better model than convention ones.

Forest road has been an essential infrastructure for various forestry practices as well as for recreational use, disaster management, and local economics promotion. Since 1980s, extensive network of forest roads has been constructed as an national project in Korea. However, due to the minimal-budget of the project, accurate maps of forest road are not usually available. Although forest road map is a main thematic layer for the forest Geographic Information System (FGIS), its locational accuracy has not been sufficient for the practical applications and, therefore, the update of digital forest road maps is urgent. The objectives of this study is to compare ae methodology of generating and updating digital forest road maps from the aspects of the map accuracy and the efficiency of methods. Four mapping methods (GPS surveying, satellite imagery, ortho aerial photograph, and digital photogrammetry) were applied to generate the forest road maps over the study area of Mt. Oseo in Chungchungnam-do, which has a 35km forest roads distributed in national, public and private forests. The forest road Imp produced by digital photogrammetric method is the most accurate and comparable to GPS surveying although it required the greatest amount of labor time.

Recently, many nations are operating and developing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Also, Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which uses the geostationary orbit, is operated presently in order to improve the performance of GNSS. The most widely-used SBAS is Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) of GPS developed by the United States. SBAS uses various algorithms to offer guaranteed accuracy, availability, continuity and integrity to its users. There is algorithm for guarantees the integrity of the satellite. This algorithm calculates the satellite errors, generates the correction and provides it to the users. The satellite orbit errors are calculated in three-dimensional space in this step. The reference placement is crucial for this three-dimensional calculation of satellite orbit errors. The wider the reference placement becomes, the wider LOS vectors spread, so the more the accuracy improves. For the next step, the regional features of the US and Korea need to be analyzed. Korea has a very narrow geographic features compared to the US. Hence, there may be a problem if the three-dimensional space method of satellite orbit error calculation is used without any modification. This paper suggests a method which uses scalar values to calculate satellite orbit errors instead of using three-dimensional space. Also, this paper proposes the feasibility for this method for a narrow area. The suggested method uses the scalar value, which is a projection of orbit errors on the LOS vector between a reference and a satellite. This method confirms the change in errors according to the baseline distance between Korea and America. The difference in the error change is compared to present the feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper explores key factors affecting taxi travel using global positioning system(GPS) data in Seoul, Korea, considering spatial dependence. We first analyzed the travel characteristics of taxis such as average travel time, average travel distance, and spatial distribution of taxi trips according to the time of the day and the day of the week. As a result, it is found that the most taxi trips were generated during the morning peak time (8 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and after the midnight (until 1 a.m.) on weekdays. The average travel distance and travel time for taxi trips were 5.9 km and 13 minutes, respectively. This implies that taxis are mainly used for short-distance travel and as an alternative to public transit after midnight in a large city. In addition, we identified that taxi trips were spatially correlated at the traffic analysis zone(TAZ) level through the Moran's I test. Thus, spatial regression models (spatial-lagged and spatial-error models) for taxi trips were developed, accounting for socio-demographics (such as the number of households, the number of elderly people, female ratio to the total population, and the number of vehicles), transportation services (such as the number of subway stations and bus stops), and land-use characteristics (such as population density, employment density, and residential areas) as explanatory variables. The model results indicate that these variables are significantly associated with taxi trips.

A Raman LIDAR system has been designed and constructed for quantitative measurement of water vapor mixing ratio. The comparison with commercial microwave radiometer and global navigation satellite system(GNSS) was performed for the precipitable water vapor(PWV) profile and total PWV. The result shows that the total GNSS-PWV and LIDAR-PWV have good correlation with each other. But, there is small difference between the two methods because of maximum measurement height in LIDAR and the GNSS method. There are some significant differences between Raman and MWR when the water vapor concentration changes quickly near the boundary layer or at the edge of a cloud. Finally we have decided that MWR cannot detect spatial changes but LIDAR can measure spatial changes.

자연하천에서 수자원의 원활하고 안전한 관리에 있어서 오염물의 혼합 거동에 대한 이해는 매우 중요하다. 대부분의 자연하천의 경우 만곡부 및 합류부와 같은 복잡한 지형을 갖고 있으며 이러한 경우 하천의 흐름이 복잡한 형태를 갖게 된다. 특히 수생태계에 많은 영향을 미치는 하폐수 처리장 처리수는 대부분 1차적으로 지류로 방류되어 이후 본류로 지속적으로 유입되게 된다. 이러한 오염물질이 지류로부터 본류로 혼합되는 합류부 구간의 경우 일반적인 1차원 혼합이 아닌 횡방향을 포함하는 2차원적인 혼합 거동에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 금호강과 진천천이 좌안으로부터 오염물질이 지속적으로 유입되는 낙동강 중류구간 합류부에서의 혼합 구간의 연구를 위하여 횡분산계수 산정을 위하여 전기전도도(electrical conductivity: EC)를 이용한 농도 추적 실험을 수행하였다. 낙동강 본류에서 정해진 측선을 따라 센서가 설치된 보트를 이용하여 실시간으로 농도, 수리량 데이터를 GPS 위치 데이터와 함께 취득하였다. 또한 실험으로부터 취득한 자료를 바탕으로 2차원 이송-확산 혼합 거동 모델인 CTM-2D 수치모형을 이용하여 모의하였다. 실험 수행 결과, 지류인 금호강과 진천천의 EC 농도가 합류 전 낙동강 본류의 EC 기저농도 보다 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. 지류의 유입으로 인하여 본류 좌안 쪽에서 전기전도도의 값의 상승을 확인할 수 있었으며 하류로 이동할수록 불균등했던 전기전도도의 분포가 횡방향 혼합을 통하여 점점 균등한 분포로 전환되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 2차원 혼합 거동 분석에 필요한 횡 분산계수 산정을 위해 모멘트법, 해석해를 이용한 추적법, 수치모형을 통한 역산법을 통해 산정하여 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 모멘트법의 경우 다른 방법들에 비하여 전반적으로 과소 산정하는 경향을 나타내었다.

하천의 합류부는 지류와 본류가 만나 수리 및 수질 특성이 변화하는 구간으로 매우 중요한 지점이다. 따라서, 최근에는 ADCP와 같은 측정장비를 활용하여 실제하천을 대상으로 합류부의 수리학적 혼합거동을 분석하는 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 연구들은 대부분 중소하천 규모의 합류부를 대상으로 연구가 수행되었고, 유속이 존재하는 하천을 대상으로 연구가 수행되었다. 그리고 기존의 연구들은 대부분 수리특성을 활용하여 합류부의 지형학적 특성을 함께 고려한 연구가 대부분 수행되어 합류부의 수질적인 혼합거동을 분석한 사례는 매우 드물다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강과 황강합류부에서 ADCP와 YSI를 활용하여 본류의 유량이 지류에 비해 매우 크고 저유속인 대하천에 유입되는 지류를 대상으로 수리·수질 특성을 기반으로 혼합 패턴을 분석하였다. 수리특성 분석을 위해 ADCP를 활용하여 수심평균유속분포, 2차류를 분석하였고, 수질특성을 분석하기 위해 YSI의 전기전도도(EC)를 수질인자로 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 거동을 분석하였다. YSI 장비는 보트에 장착하여 단면 혹은 수심방향으로 이동식으로 적용하였고, 공간위치는 동시에 운용된 ADCP의 GPS자료와 연동하였다. 분석결과, 기존의 ADCP의 유속측정 결과로는 본 연구대상과 같은 저유속 대하천에서 공간적 혼합 거동을 포착하는데 한계가 나타났다. 반면에, 수질인자(EC)를 연계하여 합류부 수질의 공간분포를 나타낼 경우 본 대상인 황강-낙동강 합류부와 같은 평수기 저유속 대하천의 혼합거동을 포착 및 분석할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 대하천의 저유속인 합류부의 혼합 거동 분석은 유속분포와 같은 수리특성과 함께 수질인자(EC)를 연계한 분석을 통할 경우 혼합 거동의 분석이 용이해짐을 확인할 수 있었다.
