Abstract

The accurate official map of air temperature does not exist for the Hawaiian Islands due to the limited number of weather stations on the rugged volcanic landscape. To alleviate the major problem of temperature mapping, satellite-measured land surface temperature (LST) data were used as an additional source of sample points. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) system provides hypertemperal LST data, and LST pixel values that were frequently observed (${\ge}$14 days during a 32-day composite period) had a strong, consistent correlation with air temperature. Systematic grid points with a spacing of 5km, 10km, and 20km were generated, and LST-derived air temperature estimates were extracted for each of the grid points and used as input to inverse distance weighted (IDW) and cokriging methods. Combining temperature data and digital elevation model (DEM), cokriging significantly improved interpolation accuracy compared to IDW. Although a cokriging method is useful when a primary variable is cross-correlated with elevation, interpolation accuracy was sensitively influenced by the seasonal variations of weather conditions. Since the spatial variations of local air temperature are more variable in the wet season than in the dry season, prediction errors were larger during the wet season than the dry season.

지형 굴곡이 심한 하와이 화산섬의 경우, 측후소 분포가 매우 제한적이어서 공식적인 기온 분포도가 작성되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 기온 지도화의 문제점을 해결하는 방법으로 위성기반의 지표온도 자료로부터 기온추정치를 추출하여 내삽법에 필요한 입력자료로 사용하였다. 추출된 온도값을 표본값으로하여 거리 역비례 가중치법(IDW)과 공동크리깅 (cokriging)을 적용하여 기온추정치를 지도화하였다. 기온과 고도값을 함께 이용한 cokriging이 IDW에 비해 크게 향상된 추정 오차값을 나타내었다. Cokriging은 주 변수와 고도와 같은 추가 변수 간의 상관관계가 유의하게 나타날 때 효과적으로 사용되는 내삽법이지만, 내삽 정확도는 계절적인 기상조건에 민감하게 영향받는 것으로 조사되었다. 강수량이 크게 증가하는 우기에는 건기에 비해 공간적인 기온변화가 크며, 이에 따라 기온 추정 오차값도 우기에 높게 나타났다.
