In this paper several methods for retriving appropriate values of effective soil moisture contents from natural soil surfaces are introduced and compared each other. The soil medium has usually a nonuniform moisture profile; i.e., relatively dry at the top layer and relatively wet at the bottom layer. The effective soil moisture represents the quantitative value of soil moisture of the inhomogeneous soil medium in an average sense. A simple method is an arithmetic averaging of soil moisture values obtained from several layers of a soil surface. Otherwise, the penetration depths can be computed from a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous soil surfaces and compared in order to obtain the effective soil mosture. The other method is to obtain the effective soil moisture by comparing the reflectivities from both of a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous surfaces. Those methods are compared and the reflectivity technique is examined in more detail since the rader scattering is dominated by the reflectivity instead of the penetration.

The radar cross section(RCS) of a trihedral corner reflector(TCR) should be accurately computed when it is used as an external calibration target for a satellite synthetic aperture radar(SAR) calibration campaign. This paper presents the RCS analysis on a trihedral corner reflector which is installed on a calibration site, using the wave reflection from the rough surface and the wave diffraction from the TCR edges. The results in this paper show quantitatively the effect of the front surface on the RCS of a TCR. The difference of the RCS between a TCR in air and a TCR on a ground surface is computed by including the interaction term which consists of the edge diffraction from the TCR edges and the surface reflection from the front rough surface. The reflection coefficient of a randomly rough surface is a function of the surface roughness and dielectric constant of the surface. The RCS of $10{\lambda}$ size TCR on a ground is 0.46 dB higher than TCR in air at 9.65 GHz, and this can reach at maximum 1.55 dB depending on a surface condition and TCR size. The effect of the front surface on the RCS of a TCR increases, as the surface roughness decreases, the soil moisture increases, and the size of TCR in wavelength decreases.

Remote sensing data using earth observation satellites in agricultural environment monitoring has many advantages over other methods in terms of time, space, and efficiency. Since the sensor mounted on the satellite measures the energy that sunlight is reflected back to the ground, noise is generated in the process of being scattered, absorbed, and reflected by the Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, in order to accurately measure the energy reflected on the ground (radiance), atmospheric correction, which must remove noise caused by the effect of the atmosphere, should be preceded. In this study, atmospheric correction sensitivity analysis, inter-satellite cross-analysis, and comparative analysis with ground observation data were performed to evaluate the application of KOMPSAT-3 satellite's atmospheric correction for agricultural application. As a result, in all cases, the surface reflectance after atmospheric correction showed a higher mutual agreement than the TOA reflectance before atmospheric correction, and it is possible to produce the time series vegetation index of the same standard. However, additional research is needed for quantitative analysis of the sensitivity of atmospheric input parameters and the tilt angle.

최근 도시화에 따른 토지 피복 변화와 열섬현상 등의 원인으로 상승하는 도시의 기온이 식물 계절에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구들이 다수 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 수도권인 서울과 경기도 지역을 대상으로 도시 내 열섬현상으로 인한 기온 상승과 도시 지역 내 식생 생장기간 변화의 관계성을 분석하였다. 식물계절 모니터링에 사용한 개량식생지수(Enhanced Vegetation Index, EVI)는 Google Earth Engine (GEE)에서 제공하는 30 m 해상도의 2000-2021년 NASA-USGS Landsat 위성(TM5, ETM+7, OLI8)의 지표면 반사율(surface reflectance, SR) 자료에서 도출하여 생장기간 산정에 사용하였다. 또한 PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model)을 각 기상관측지점의 일별 지상 기온 자료에 적용하여 30 m 해상도로 생성한 격자형 지표면 온도의 공간적 패턴을 분석하였다. 연구 지역 내 도시화 정도(magnitude)를 도심으로부터의 거리와 환경부 토지피복도 및 인구 밀도를 종합하여 특정하였고, 최종적으로 기후변화 및 도시화 정도와 생장기간 변화의 특징을 분석하였다. 비선형 로지스틱 회귀를 사용하여 EVI 데이터를 종합하여 분석한 결과, 수도권 지역에서 전반적으로 식물계절 개엽일(Start of Season)은 앞당겨지며 낙엽일(End of Season, EOS)은 늦춰져 생장기간(Length of Growing Season, LOS)이 길어짐을 발견하였다.

순 장파복사량은 지표면으로 입사되는 하강 장파복사량(Downward Longwave Radiation, $R_{ld}$)과 지표면에서 반사되는 상승 장파복사량(Upward Longwave Radiation, $R_{lu}$)의 차이로 정의되는데 이는 에너지 수지 및 농업기상 연구의 중요한 주제 중 하나로서 다루어져 온 순복사량의 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 $R_{lu}$의 경우 지표면 온도와 방사율(emissivity)를 이용하여 산출되므로 정확히 추정이 가능하나, $R_{ld}$의 경우 대기 최상층에서 관측되는 방사량과 지표면 근처의 방사량을 함께 고려해야 하므로 실측이 어렵다. $R_{ld}$는 야간 복사계(pyrgeometer)를 이용하여 직접적으로 측정할 수 있지만 관측기기 자체가 구비되어있는 관측소가 적어 매우 드물게 이용된다. 또한 단파 복사 에너지 측정 기기에 비해 비용이 많이들고 종종 관측값이 큰 오차를 가지고 있기 때문에 실무에 적용하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 따라서 기상 관측소에서 얻어지는 증기압과 온도 관측치를 물리식, 경험식 등에 적용하여 산정하게 된다. 현재는 $R_{ld}$의 추정은 관측된 방사량간의 관계를 나타내는 경험식을 기반으로 지표면 근처의 대기 온도와 습도를 이용하여 산출하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 증발산 산정 알고리즘 개발의 시발점으로써 $R_{ld}$를 먼저 구하고 $R_{lu}$를 구하였다. 신뢰성 높은 방법을 이용하여 $R_{ld}$를 구하게 되면 정확도 높은 $R_N$을 구하는 데 기여할 수 있으며, 궁극적으로 보다 정확한 증발산을 산정할 수 있게 된다. $R_{ld}$는 일반적으로 clear sky 조건 하에서의 복사 에너지 플럭스($R_{ldc}$)를 구한 후 구름의 양에 따라 보정한다. 하강 장파복사량의 경우 널리 사용되는 공식 중 하나인 Brutsaert의 공식을 사용하였다. 광릉, 해남에 위치한 플럭스 타워지점에서 실측된 기온과 실제 수증기압을 입력인자로 사용하여 지점별 $R_{ldc}$를 먼저 구하고 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) 영상자료를 이용하여 검증한 뒤 최종적으로 남한지역을 대상으로 순 장파복사량 지도를 작성하였다. 이를 위해 MODIS 07 대기 프로파일 산출물(Atmospheric Profile Product)중 기온 및 이슬점온도를 추출하여 산정식의 입력자료로서 사용하였다. 상승 장파복사량의 경우 MODIS 11 지표면 온도 산출물(Land Surface Temperature product)를 이용하여 산정하였다. 이는 남한 지역의 증발산량 추정 및 에너지 수지 연구를 위한 중요한 기본 자료로서 유용하게 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

The exact estimation of crop evapotranspiration containing reference or potential evapotranspiration is necessary for decision of crop water requirements. This study was carried out for the evaluation and application of various meteorological elements used for the calculation of reference evapotranspiration (RET) by FAO Penman-Monteith (PM) model. Meteorological elements including temperature, net radiation, soil heat flux, albedo, relative humidity, wind speed measured by meteorological instruments are required for RET calculation by FAO PM model. The average of albedo measured for crop growing period was 0.20, ranging from 0.12 to 0.23, and was slightly lower than 0.23. Determinant coefficients by measured albedo and green grass albedo were 0.97, 0.95 and standard errors were 0.74, 0.80 respectively. Usefulness of deductive regression models was admitted. To assess an influence of soil heat flux (G) on FAO PM, RET with G=0 was compared with RETs using G at 5cm soil depth ($G_{5cm}$) and G at surface ($G_{0cm}$). As the results, RET estimated by G=0 was well agreed with RET calculated by measured G. Therefore, estimated net radiation, G=0 and albedo of green grass could be used for RET calculation by FAO PM.

Images taken by geostationary satellite may be used to estimate solar irradiance fluxes at earth's surface. It is based on the empirical correlation between a satellite derived cloud index and the irradiance at the ground. For the validation. estimated solar radiation fluxes are compared with observed solar radiation fluxes at 16 sites over the Korean peninsular from January 1982 to December 2000. Estimated solar radiation fluxes show reliable results for estimating the global radiation with average deviation of -5.6 to +2.8% from the measured values and the yearly averaged horizontal global insolation of Korean peninsula was turned out to be $3.038kcal/m^2.day$.

The purpose of this study is to develop urban planning for mitigating thermal comfort by analyzing the relationship between various physical environmental factors and radiation fluxes focused on urban areas of Changwon city, Gyeongsangnam-do. Physical environmental factors were analyzed by sky view factor (SVF), land cover and land use types using GIS program. Radiation fluxes were measured upward and downward in solar and terrestrial radiation by mobile measurement during 3 days (2 daytime and 1 nighttime) in summer season. SVF is high in urban park less around buildings. High dense building sites were low. Downward solar radiation fluxes were the highest about $700W/m^2$ at daytime, and decreased in spatial type arranged dense buildings. Upward solar and terrestrial radiations was affected by land cover types that have thermal features such as reflectivity, emissivity, and heat capacity. Therefore, urban space needs appropriate planning with building arrangement, green walls and land cover replacement for mitigating thermal comfort in urban area.

As land remote sensing applications are expanding to the extraction of quantitative information, the importance of atmospheric correction is increasing. Considering the difficulty of atmospheric correction for land images, it should be applied when it is necessary. The quantitative information extraction and time-series analysis on biophysical variables in land surfaces are two major applications that need atmospheric correction. Atmospheric aerosol content and column water vapor, which are very dynamic in spatial and temporal domain, are the most influential elements and obstacles in retrieving accurate surface reflectance. It is difficult to obtain aerosol and water vapor data that have suitable spatio-temporal scale for high- and medium-resolution multispectral imagery. Selection of atmospheric correction method should be based on the availability of appropriate aerosol and water vapor data. Most atmospheric correction of land imagery assumes the Lambertian surface, which is not the case for most natural surfaces. Further BRDF correction should be considered to remove or reduce the anisotropic effects caused by different sun and viewing angles. The atmospheric correction methods of optical imagery over land will be enhanced to meet the need of quantitative remote sensing. Further, imaging sensor system may include pertinent spectral bands that can help to extract atmospheric data simultaneously.
