Abstract

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Image Spectrometer) is a core satellite sensor boarded on Terra and Aqua satellite of NASA Earth Observing System since 1999 and 2001, respectively. MODIS LAI, FPAR, and GPP provide useful means to monitor plant phonology and material cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, LAI, FPAR, and GPP in Korea were evaluated and errors associated with cloud contamination on MODIS pixels were eliminated for years $2001\sim2003$. Three-year means of cloud-corrected annual GPP were 1836, 1369, and 1460g C $m^{-2}y^{-1}$ for evergreen needleleaf forest, deciduous broadleaf forest, and mixed forest, respectively. The cloud-originated errors were 8.5%, 13.1%, and 8.4% for FPAR, LAI, and GPP, respectively. Summertime errors from June to September explained by 78% of the annual accumulative errors in GPP. This study indicates that cloud-originated errors should be mitigated for practical use of MODIS vegetation products to monitor seasonal and annual changes in plant phonology and vegetation production in Korea.

미국항공우주국은 지구 관측 시스템(EOS) 프로그램의 일환으로 1999년에 Terra를 2001년에 Aqua 인공위성을 발사하였다. MODIS는 EOS의 핵심 원격 탐사 센서로서 육상 생태계의 식물계절학과 물질 순환 모니터링을 위한 8일 단위의 엽면적지수(LAI), 유효 광합성 광량 중 식생에 흡수된 비율(FPAR), 총 일차 생산성(GPP) 영상을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서 우리나라를 대상으로 식생형에 따른 $2001\sim2003$년 간의 MODIS LAI, FPAR, GPP를 분석하였으며, 구름 영향에 의한 각 영상의 오차를 평가하였다. 분석 결과 연간 GPP는 침엽수림 1,836, 활엽수림 1,369, 혼효림 1460g C $m^{-2}y^{-1}$로 나타났으며, 각 변수에서 구름에 의해 야기된 오차는 FPAR 8.5, LAI 13.1, GPP 8.4%에 달하는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 GPP의 경우 6월에서 9월까지의 오차가 연간 오차의 78%를 설명하는 것으로 나타나, 몬순기후가 MODIS 영상의 오차에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 향후 MODIS식생 관련 영상들이 우리나라의 식물계절학과 일파 생산성 모니터링에 유용하게 사용될 수 있으며, 이들 영상을 사용하기에 앞서 구름 영향 오차를 감쇄하는 영상의 전처리 과정을 수행할 필요가 있음을 보여주었다.
