Description
Summary:博士 === 國立中央大學 === 地球物理學系 === 82 === Results obtained in this study indicated that the internal precision of ME5000 distance measuring system, is about ±(0.1+0.1‧D)mm, where D is distance in km. An uncertainty of external precision in the absolute length system of light speed, as indicated from a comparison of the EOM results with Vaisala interference results - i.e., the most accurate method of determining the baseline length. Furthmore, its stability and accuracy has become the foundation for examining the atmospheric refraction correction for a medium - range EDM in the study. Due to long distance, the temperature, pressure and relative humidity are normally taken at the ends of the line during EDM. The averages of temperature, pressure and relative humidity from endpoints measurments are used to represent the true values along the wavepath length. As a consequence, the errors may cause a great restriction for the accuracy of EDM. This study, as based on the theory of atmospheric temperature model of Angus-Leppan and Brunner (1980), primarilly aims at analyzing the successive EDM data in Hsin Chu Medium-Range baseline as well as proposing a more practical and suitable temperature model for local area. Consequently, the error of group refractive index can be reduced and the accuracy improved. Furthermore, multi-layer atmospheric potential temperature model based on Webb (1964) was included to evaluate the additional correction when the elevation difference of EDM line is over the Obukhov length. This could be of help to raise the accuracy of EDM in Geodesy and the detection of crust deformation in Geophysics.
