Abstract

In this study, Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) and COSMIC-ray soil moisture (SM) stations were installed at Sungkyunkwan University in Suwon, South Korea. To provide reliable information about SM, soil property test, time series analysis of measured soil moisture, and comparison of measured SM with satellite-based SM product are conducted. In 2014, six FDR stations were set up for obtaining SM. Each of the stations had four FDR sensors with soil depth from 5 cm to 40 cm at 5~10 cm different intervals. The result showed that study region had heterogeneous soil layer properties such as sand and loamy sand. The measured SM data showed strong coupling with precipitation. Furthermore, they had a high correlation coefficient and a low root mean square deviation (RMSD) as compared to the satellite-based SM products. After verifying the accuracy of the data in 2014, four FDR stations and one COSMIC-ray station were additionally installed to establish the Soil Moisture site with FDR and COSMIC-ray, called SM-FC. COSMIC-ray-based SM had a high correlation coefficient of 0.95 compared with mean SM of FDR stations. From these results, the SM-FC will give a valuable insight for researchers into investigate satellite- and model-based SM validation study in South Korea.

본 연구에서는 수원 성균관대학교 내 Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) 토양수분 측정 장비 및 COSMIC-ray 중성자 측정 장비를 통한 토양수분 지점 관측 사이트를 확립하였다. 또한 양질의 토양수분 데이터 확보를 위해 연구지역 내 토질실험, 토질별 FDR 토양수분 데이터 및 COSMIC-ray 중성자 개수의 시계열 분석, 관측한 토양수분 데이터와 위성 기반 토양수분 데이터와의 비교분석을 실시하였다. 2014년도부터 6개 지점에서 표층으로부터 5 cm에서 40 cm까지 총 24개의 FDR 센서를 5~10 cm 깊이별로 설치하여 토양수분 데이터를 측정하였다. 해당 지점들의 토질 분석결과, Sand에서 Loamy Sand까지의 다양한 토질이 불균질한 층을 이루어 분포되어 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 측정된 토양수분 데이터는 강우 데이터와 높은 상관성을 보이며, 위성 산출 토양수분 데이터와의 비교에서도 상대적으로 높은 상관관계와 낮은 평균제곱근편차(Root mean square deviation, RMSD)값을 보여주었다. 2014년도 설치 지역 토양수분 데이터의 신뢰도가 확보됨에 따라 2015년도에는 10개의 FDR 토양수분 측정 장비 및 COSMIC-ray 중성자 측정 장비가 추가로 설치되어 성균관대학교의 Soil Moisture site with FDR and COSMIC-ray(SM-FC) 연구지역이 구축되었다. SM-FC에 설치된 COSMIC-ray 중성자 측정 장비의 최초 검증을 위해 2015년 8~11월의 COSMIC-ray 중성자 데이터 및 FDR 토양수분 데이터가 활용되었다. 중성자기반 토양수분 값과 전체 지점 FDR 토양수분 평균값을 비교한 결과 매우 높은 상관관계를 볼 수 있었다 (상관계수 0.95). 이러한 연구를 통해 성균관대학교 SM-FC는 향후 한반도 지역 위성 및 모델 토양수분 데이터를 검증하는 대표 연구지역이 될 것으로 기대된다.
