Abstract

The soil moisture data of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam(VUA) in collaboration with NASA, retrieved from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth observing system(AMSR-E) brightness temperature, were collected to evaluate the applicability of the remote sensed soil moisture in South Korea. The averages of the soil moisture by in-situ sensors, by NASA and by VUA-NASA are approximately 0.218, 0.119, and $0.402m^3/m^3$, respectively. This indicates that the soil moisture of NASA was underestimated and that of VUA-NASA was overestimated. The soil moisture products of VUA-NASA showed a better relationship with the in-situ data than that of NASA data. However, there are still limitations of C-band soil moisture measurements. To improve the applicability of satellite soil moisture measurements, bias correction and other post processings are essential using in-situ soil moisture measurements at various surface conditions.

원격탐사자료로부터 추정된 토양수분자료의 우리나라 지역에 대한 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 NASA와 VUA-NASA의 AMSR-E 토양수분자료를 수집하여, 2008년 5월 16일부터 8월 19일까지 용담댐 유역내 6개 지상관측지점의 토양수분자료와 비교분석을 수행하였다. 시계열 분석결과, 지상관측 토양수분자료의 평균은 약 $0.218m^3/m^3$, NASA 자료의 평균은 약 $0.119m^3/m^3$, VUA-NASA 자료의 평균은 약 $0.402m^3/m^3$으로 나타나, NASA의 토양수분자료는 용담댐 유역에 있어서 과소 추정되었으며, VUA-NASA 자료는 과대 추정되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 지상관측자료와의 상관성 분석결과, NASA 알고리듬을 이용한 토양수분자료보다 VUA-NASA의 토양수분자료가 지상관측자료와 더 높은 상관성을 보여주었다. 그러나 C-band 원격탐사 토양수분자료가 가지는 한계가 존재함을 알 수 있으며, 원격탐사 토양수분자료의 활용성을 높이기 위하여 다양한 토지피복, 식생 등에 대한 지상관측 토양수분을 활용한 편의보정 등 후처리가 필요한 실정이다.
