Abstract

Surface air temperature ($T_{air}$) is a key variable for the meteorology and climatology, and is a fundamental factor of the terrestrial ecosystem functions. Satellite remote sensing from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides an opportunity to monitor the $T_{air}$. However, the several problems such as frequent cloud cover and mountainous region can result in substantial retrieval error and signal loss in MODIS $T_{air}$. In this study, satellite-based $T_{air}$ was estimated under both clear and cloudy sky conditions in Gangwon Province using Aqua MODIS07 temperature profile product (MYD07_L2) and GCOM-W1 Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) brightness temperature ($T_b$) at 37 GHz frequency, and was compared with the measurements from the Automated Mountain Meteorology Stations (AMOS). The application of ambient temperature lapse rate was performed to improve the retrieval accuracy in mountainous region, which showed the improvement of estimation accuracy approximately 4% of RMSE. A simple pixel-wise regression method combining synergetic information from MYD07_L2 $T_{air}$ and AMSR2 $T_b$ was applied to estimate surface $T_{air}$ for all sky conditions. The $T_{air}$ retrievals showed favorable agreement in comparison with AMOS data (r=0.80, RMSE=7.9K), though the underestimation was appeared in winter season. Substantial $T_{air}$ retrievals were estimated 61.4% (n=2,657) for cloudy sky conditions. The results presented in this study indicate that the satellite remote sensing can produce the surface $T_{air}$ at the complex mountainous region for all sky conditions.

지표면 기온($T_{air}$ surface air temperature)은 기상 및 기후학 분야에서 대표적인 기상인자일 뿐만 아니라 육상생태계 기능을 조절하는 주요 환경조건 인자이다. MODIS와 같은 인공위성정보 활용 기술은 지표면 기온을 연속적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 기회를 제공한다. 하지만 복잡 산악지역에서의 관측 정확도의 한계와 구름 등에 의한 자료 결측은 연속적인 모니터링을 제한한다. 이 연구에서는 위성정보를 기반으로 복잡 산악지역에서 인 강원도 지역을 대상으로 전천후 기온정보를 생산하여 산악기상관측자료를 이용하여 평가하였다. 산악지역에 대한 정확도 개선을 위해 Aqua MODIS 기온정보(MYD07_L2)에 대기기온감률 방법을 적용한 결과, 기존보다 약 4% RMSE 개선효과(ME의 경우 95%)가 나타났다. 전천후 기온정보 산출을 위해 MYD07_L2 기온정보와 GCOM-W1 AMSR2 37 GHz 밝기온도 자료간의 픽셀 기반의 회귀모형 방법을 적용하였다. 산악기상 관측 자료와 비교한 결과 전반적으로 좋은 일치도를 보였으나(r=0.80, RMSE=7.9K), 겨울철에 다소 과소모의의 경향을 나타냈다. 그럼에도 불구하고 전체 자료 중 결측되었던 61.4%의 자료(n=2,657)를 복원하여 복잡 산악지역에 대해 위성정보 기반의 전천후 기온정보 생산이 가능함을 확인하였다. 향후 이 연구에서 사용한 간단하고 효과적인 회귀모형 방법은 과거 및 최신 위성정보를 활용을 통한 시공간적인 확장이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
