The need for economical and accurate presentations of equivalent radar reflectivity( $Z_e$) data in an orthogonal coordinate system has existed for some time. So, in this study, a fast and efficient procedure has been developed which allows the systematic interpolation of digital reflectivity data from radar space into Cartesian space. At first, QC(Quality Control) of radar data has been executed for extracting uncontaminated Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator(CAPPI) data. The algorithm is designed so that only one ordered pass through the original Plan Position Indicator(PPI) scan data is necessary to complete the interpolation process. The model can calculate various resolution and altitude reflectivity data for many kinds of hydrological usage.

기상레이더는 강우의 공간분포를 관측하고 강우장 이동특성을 예측하여 집중호우, 태풍 등에 대비할 수 있는 시간을 확보하기 위하여 운용되고 있다. 기상레이더는 전파를 송신하고 대기 중의물체(수상체, 건물 등)에 부딪혀 되돌아오는 신호를 수신하여 강우의 양, 분포, 이동방향 등을 산정할 수 있으며 세부적으로 입체관측(volume scan)을 반복하여 고도각 별로 거리와 방위각에 따라 다양한 합성영상을 산출할 수 있는 특성이 있다. 본 연구는 구름의 수평적 분포를 파악하는데 용이하여 기존에 널리 사용된 CAPPI 합성영상과 최근 현업에서 복잡한 지형으로 인한 오차를 해소하고자 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 다중 고도각 기반 레이더 강수량(hybrid surface rainfall, HSR) 합성영상을 취득하여 수문해석을 위한 유역단위 면적강수량의 추정오차를 검토하였다. HSR 합성영상은 우리나라와 같이 산악지형이 많이 존재하는 경우 지형의 영향을 받지 않아 지면에 가장 가까운 고도각의 관측자료를 사용하므로 지상관측소 강수량과 비교한 결과에서 기존의 CAPPI 합성영상 레이더 강수량과 통계적 효율 기준을 산정하여 레이더 강수의 품질이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 최근 환경부에서 추진하고 있는 인공지능(AI) 홍수예보 및 가상모형(Digital Twin)을 활용하여 홍수정보를 생산 및 전달하는 과정에서 유역의 지형적 특성을 현실적으로 고려한 레이더 강수량을 사용함으로 기후변화에 따라 국지적으로 발생하는 집중호우 대응 및 과학적 홍수관리를 실현할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The ability to characterize feature objects from radar readings is often limited by simply looking at their still frame reflectivity, differential reflectivity and differential phase data. In many cases, time-series study of these objects' reflectivity profile is required to properly characterize features objects of interest. This paper introduces a novel technique to automatically track multiple 3D radar structures in C,S-band in real-time using Doppler radar and profile their characteristic reflectivity distribution in time series. The extraction of reflectivity profile from different radar cluster structures is done in three stages: 1. static frame (zone-linkage) clustering, 2. dynamic frame (evolution-linkage) clustering and 3. characterization of clusters through time series profile of reflectivity distribution. The two clustering schemes proposed here are applied on composite multi-layers CAPPI (Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) radar data which covers altitude range of 0.25 to 10 km and an area spanning over hundreds of thousands $km^2$. Discrete numerical simulations show the validity of the proposed technique and that fast and accurate profiling of time series reflectivity distribution for deformable 3D radar structures is achievable.

The purpose of this study is to improve the quantitative precipitation estimation method based on satellite brightness temperature. The non-linear equation for rainfall estimation is improved by analysing precipitation cases around the Korean peninsula in summer. Radar reflectivity is adopted the CAPPI 1.5 and CMAX composite fields that provided by the Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA). In addition, the satellite data are used infrared, water vapor and visible channel measured from meteorological imager sensor mounted on the Chollian satellite. The improved algorithm is compared with the results of the A-E method and CRR analytic function. POD, FAR and CSI are 0.67, 0.76 and 0.21, respectively. The MAE and RMSE are 2.49 and 6.18 mm/h. As the quantitative error was reduced in comparison to A-E and qualitative accuracy increased in compare with CRR, the disadvantage of both algorithms are complemented. The method of estimating precipitation through a relational expression can be used for short-term forecasting because of allowing precipitation estimation in a short time without going through complicated algorithms.
