Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) is able to photograph the earth's surface regardless of weather conditions, day and night. Because of its possibility to search for hydrological factors such as soil moisture and groundwater, and its importance is gradually increasing in the field of water resources. SAR began to be mounted on satellites in the 1970s, and about 15 or more satellites were launched as of 2020, which around 10 satellites will be launched within the next 5 years. Recently, various types of SAR technologies such as enhancement of observation width and resolution, multiple polarization and multiple frequencies, and diversification of observation angles were being developed and utilized. In this paper, a brief history of the SAR system, as well as studies for estimating soil moisture and hydrological components were investigated. Up to now hydrological components that can be estimated using SAR satellites include soil moisture, subsurface groundwater discharge, precipitation, snow cover area, leaf area index(LAI), and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) and among them, soil moisture is being studied in 17 countries in South Korea, North America, Europe, and India by using the physical model, the IEM(Integral Equation Model) and the artificial intelligence-based ANN(Artificial Neural Network). RADARSAT-1, ENVISAT, ASAR, and ERS-1/2 were the most widely used satellite, but the operation has ended, and utilization of RADARSAT-2, Sentinel-1, and SMAP, which are currently in operation, is gradually increasing. Since Korea is developing a medium-sized satellite for water resources and water disasters equipped with C-band SAR with the goal of launching in 2025, various hydrological components estimation researches using SAR are expected to be active.

영상레이더(Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR)는 기상조건이나 주야, 일조에 상관없이 지표면을 촬영할 수 있고, 토양수분이나 지하수 등 수문인자의 탐색이 가능하여 수자원 분야에서 그 중요성이 점차 두드러지고 있다. SAR는 1970년대부터 인공위성에 탑재되기 시작하여 2020년 현재 15기 이상의 SAR 위성이 운용되고 있고 향후 5년 내에도 10기 내외의 위성이 발사될 예정이다. 최근에는 관측 폭 및 해상도 증진, 다중 편파 및 다중주파수, 관측 각도의 다양화 등 다양한 형태의 SAR 기술들이 개발 및 활용 중이다. 이에 본 고에서는 SAR 시스템의 간략한 역사와 더불어 토양수분 및 수문인자 산출과 관련된 연구동향을 조사하였다. 현재까지 SAR 위성을 활용하여 산출 가능한 수문인자는 토양수분, 해저지하수유출, 강수, 적설분포면적, 식생지수 등이 있으며, 그 중 토양수분은 물리적 모델인 IEM(Integral Equation Model)과 인공지능 기반의 ANN(Artificial Neural Network)을 대표적으로 활용하여 우리나라를 포함한 북미, 유럽, 인도 등 총 17개국에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 위성 탑재체는 RADARSAT-1, ENVISAT ASAR, 그리고 ERS-1/2가 가장 많이 사용되었으나 현재는 운영이 종료되었으며, 현재 운영 중인 RADARSAT-2, Sentinel-1, SMAP 등의 활용도 점차 늘어나고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라는 2025년 발사를 목표로 C-band SAR를 탑재한 수자원·수재해 중형위성을 개발 중이므로, SAR를 이용한 다양한 수문인자 산출 연구가 활성화될 것으로 예상된다.
