Abstract

Biomass burning activities(BBA) are caused by both natural and anthropogenic origins. Due to emissions of greenhouse gases and atmospheric aerosols during the burning process, BBA has been known to be one of important sources of atmospheric pollution and the climate change. However, the monitoring of BBA and its effects on atmospheric environment are not simple. This study evaluates the trends of BBA and its impact on atmospheric environment by using earth observing satellite. The results show that the most BBA were found over ever green, green vegetation types, and irrigated land cover types in study region. The trends of BBA and aerosol optical thickness which represents relative aerosol loading in the atmosphere, show similar pattern. Aerosol increases caused by BBA highlight the effectiveness of these mechanisms and would affect the regional atmospheric environment and climate change.

바이오매스 연소 활동은 인위적 또는 자연적인 원인에 의하여 발생하며 연소과정에서 다량의 대기오염물질을 배출한다. 이 과정에서 발생한 온실가스와 대기 에어러솔은 대기환경 저해와 기후변화의 원인으로 알려져 있으나 바이오매스 연소 활동에 대한 감시와 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 동북아 지역의 바이오매스 연소 활동의 현황과 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자, 지구관측 위성인 Terra/MODIS 관측 자료를 이용하였다. 바이오매스 연소의 발생 원인은 매우 다양하지만, 주 연료가 공급되는 토지피복과 계절별 변화에 의존하므로, 본 연구에서는 지역별 토지피복과의 관련성과 시간에 따른 현황과 변화 패턴을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 가장 넓은 영역을 차지하고 있는 녹지대 또는 상록수림 지역에서의 발생수가 많았으며, 경작지에도 많은 발생횟수를 나타내었다. 그리고 대기 오염물질 중 하나인 대기 에어러솔의 상대적인 양을 나타내는 에어러솔 광학두께자료와 연소 자료와 비교결과는 두 산출물간 뚜렷한 연중 변화와 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 바이오매스 연소 활동이 지역 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 증명하였으며, 중국대륙에서 발생빈도가 증가하고 있어 지역 대기환경 및 기후변화에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다.
