The ethyl acetate extracts from the liquid cultures of Coriolus versicolor, Phellinus linteus, and Hericium erinaceus showed significant antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli K88, E. coli K99, E. coli 987P, and Salmonella typhimurium 14058 causing bacterial diarrhea in Korean house pigs and chicken. Of these extracts, Coriolus versicolor extract showed the highest antibacterial activity. In addition, these extracts also showed significant growth inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus CARM3230 and E. coli CARM1381 which are known as kanamycin and ampicillin-resistant strains. These results showed that the mushroom extracts could be developed as a livestock feed additives that can replace commercial antibiotics, and also could be good resources for the development of a new antibacterial agent.

An algorithm was developed to retrieve both cloud optical thickness and effective particle radius considered the aerosol effect on clouds. This study apply the algorithm of Nakajima and Nakajima (1995) that is used to retrieve cloud optical thickness and effective particle radius from visible, near infrared satellite spectral measurements. To retrieve cloud properties, Look-up table (LUT) was made under different atmospheric conditions by using a radiative transfer model. Especially the vertical distribution of aerosol is based on a tropospheric aerosol profile in radiative transfer model. In the case study, we selected the extensive forest fire occurred in Russia in May 2003. The aerosol released from this fire may be transported to Korea. Cloud properties obtained from these distinct atmospheric situations are analysed in terms of their possible changes due to the interactions of the clouds with the aerosol particle plumes. Cloud properties over the East sea at this time was retrieved using new algorithm. The algorithm is applied to measurements from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra spacecrafts. As a result, cloud effective particle radius was decreased and cloud optical thickness was increased during aerosol event. Specially, cloud effective particle radius is hardly greater than $20{\mu}m$ when aerosol particles were present over the East Sea. Clouds developing in the aerosol event tend to have more numerous but smaller droplets.

In the utilization of optical satellite imagery, which is greatly affected by clouds, periodic composite technique is a useful method to minimize the influence of clouds. Recently, a technique for selecting the optimal pixel that is least affected by the cloud and shadow during a certain period by directly inputting cloud and cloud shadow information during period compositing has been proposed. Accurate extraction of clouds and cloud shadowsis essential in order to derive optimal composite results. Also, in the case of an surface targets where spectral information is important, such as crops, the loss of spectral information should be minimized during cloud-free compositing. In thisstudy, clouds using two spectral indicators (Haze Optimized Tranformation and MeanVis) were used to derive a detection technique with low loss ofspectral information while maintaining high detection accuracy of clouds and cloud shadowsfor cabbage fieldsin the highlands of Gangwon-do. These detection results were compared and analyzed with cloud and cloud shadow information provided by Sentinel-2A/B. As a result of analyzing data from 2019 to 2021, cloud information from Sentinel-2A/B satellites showed detection accuracy with an F1 value of 0.91, but bright artifacts were falsely detected as clouds. On the other hand, the cloud detection result obtained by applying the threshold (=0.05) to the HOT showed relatively low detection accuracy (F1=0.72), but the loss ofspectral information was minimized due to the small number of false positives. In the case of cloud shadows, only minimal shadows were detected in the Sentinel-2A/B additional layer, but when a threshold (= 0.015) was applied to MeanVis, cloud shadowsthat could be distinguished from the topographically generated shadows could be detected. By inputting spectral indicators-based cloud and shadow information,stable monthly cloud-free composited vegetation index results were obtained, and in the future, high-accuracy cloud information of Sentinel-2A/B will be input to periodic cloud-free composite for comparison.

Clouds cause many difficult problems in observing land surface phenomena using optical satellites, such as national land observation, disaster response, and change detection. In addition, the presence of clouds affects not only the image processing stage but also the final data quality, so it is necessary to identify and remove them. Therefore, in this study, we developed a new cloud detection technique that automatically performs a series of processes to search and extract the pixels closest to the spectral pattern of clouds in satellite images, select the optimal threshold, and produce a cloud mask based on the threshold. The cloud detection technique largely consists of three steps. In the first step, the process of converting the Digital Number (DN) unit image into top-of-atmosphere reflectance units was performed. In the second step, preprocessing such as Hue-Value-Saturation (HSV) transformation, triangle thresholding, and maximum likelihood classification was applied using the top of the atmosphere reflectance image, and the threshold for generating the initial cloud mask was determined for each image. In the third post-processing step, the noise included in the initial cloud mask created was removed and the cloud boundaries and interior were improved. As experimental data for cloud detection, CAS500-1 L2G images acquired in the Korean Peninsula from April to November, which show the diversity of spatial and seasonal distribution of clouds, were used. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the results generated by a simple thresholding method were compared. As a result of the experiment, compared to the existing method, the proposed method was able to detect clouds more accurately by considering the radiometric characteristics of each image through the preprocessing process. In addition, the results showed that the influence of bright objects (panel roofs, concrete roads, sand, etc.) other than cloud objects was minimized. The proposed method showed more than 30% improved results(F1-score) compared to the existing method but showed limitations in certain images containing snow.

In thisletter, we developed technology which can exclude effect of cloudsto perform remote waterbody detection based on Sentinel-2 optical satellite imagery to calculate the area of ungauged reservoirs and applied to the Hwanggang dam reservoir, a representative ungauged reservoir, to verify usability. The remote waterbody detection technology calculates the cloud blocking ratio by comparing the cloud boundary in the Sentinel-2 imagery and the reservoir boundary first. Next, itselects data whose cloud blocking ratio does not exceed a specific value and calculates NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) with selected imagery. In last, it calculatesthe area of the reservoir by counting the number of grids which have NDWI value considered as waterbody within the boundary of the target reservoir and correcting with cloud blocking ratio. To determine cloud blocking ratio threshold forselecting image, we performed the area calculation of Hwanggang dam reservoir from July 2018 to October 2021. As a result, when the cloud blocking ratio threshold wasset 10%, we confirmed that the result with large error due to clouds were filtered well and obtained 114 results that can show changes in Hwanggang dam reservoir area among 220 images.

Recently the pysically based precipitation model was developed by Geogakakos and Bras(1984) for the storm event. This is a modified version of the model. In a different way from the model, in this paper, it is emphasized that the hyderometeor size distribution(HSD)is subject to rainfall intensity and effects on the productivity of precipitation. The to HSD functions are applied to the equation of the outflow after mass through the cloud top and base, products of rainfall rate at the ground level, storage of cloud layer. As an input we put the meterological data observed at Chonju in Korea in our models and adjust the parameters included in it. The result show that in the model there is significant deviation between the hourly calculated rainfall rate and the observed data, while it is very small in the our model based on the two HSD.

에너지 전달 과정과 밀접한 관계가 있는 증발산(Evapotranspiration)은 기후 변화나 육상 생태계 생산성에서 매우 중요한 요소이며, 수문학적 순환과 지역적 물 관리 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 최근 인공위성을 이용하여 증발산을 추정하기 위한 노력이 많이 진행되고 있으며, 특히 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)는 증발산을 추정하기 위한 좋은 정보를 제공하고 있다 하지만, 구름 등에 의한 증발산 입력 자료 결측은 전체 자료의 획득률을 낮추고, 연속적인 증발산 모니터 링을 제한한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MODIS 기반의 증발산 입력 자료의 개선하여 서로 다른 식생과 지형 구조를 갖는 플럭스 연구지에 대한 증발산의 추정 및 평가하고, 남한에 대한 MODIS 기반의 증발산 지도 작성하였다. 또한 구름에 의해 결측된 날에 대해서는 MODIS-MM5 4차원 자료동화 기법을 이용한 증발산의 연속적인 모니터링 기법을 개발하였다. MODIS 기반의 증발산을 추정하기 위해 Revised RS-PM 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 증발산을 평가하기 위해 4 곳의 플럭스 연구지(광릉, 해남 이상 대한민국, 타카야마, 토마코아미 이상 일본) 자료와 비교하였고, 매우 신뢰성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. MODIS 입력 자료의 개선으로 획득률은 2배 가량 증가하였다. 남한에 대한 연간 증발산은 평균적으로 약 35%의 획득률 (365일 중 약 120일)과 함께 산출되었고, 시 공간적인 분포를 잘 나타내었다. 구름 낀 날에 대한 MODIS-MM5 자료 동화 기법의 적용은 증발산의 연속적인 모니터링을 가능하게 하였다.

In this study, microemulsion formation of water and carbon dioxide was investigated by using surfactant as one of the methods for increasing the mutual solubility between water and carbon dioxide. The surfactant 2,2,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-1-propanol was added to form a microemulsion of water and carbon dioxide. The cloud point change and trend of micro emulsion were investigated by adding water and a certain amount of surfactant, 2,2,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-1-propanol to supercritical carbon dioxide. In the case of surfactant + carbon dioxide system, it was 8.35 ~ 12.69 MPa in temperature range of 313.2 ~ 353.2 K. In the case of water + surfactant + carbon dioxide system, the temperature ranged from 318.2 ~ 338.2 K to pressure range 7.83 ~ 17.28 MPa.
