Wind velocity is one of the primary variables for describing atmospheric state from GMS-5. And its accurate depiction is essential for operational weather forecasting and for initialization of NWP(Numerical Weather Prediction) models. The aim of this research is to incorporate imagery from other available spectral channels and examine the error characteristics of winds derived from these images. Multi spectral imagery from GMS-5 was used for this purpose and applied to Korean region with together BoM(Bureau of Meteorology). The derivation of wind velocity estimates from low and high resolution visible, split window infrared, and water vapor images, resulted in improvements in the amount and quality of wind data available for forecasting.

Although there have been wide range of studies to characterize forest stands based upon spectral information of satellite image, it was not fully understood the texture information of forest stand using high resolution data. The objective of this study is to evaluate several texture measures for characterizing forest stand structure, such as species composition, diameter at breast height(DBH), stand density, and age. High resolution IKONOS satellite imagery data were acquired in August 200 lover the forested area near Ulsan, Korea. Primary forest types were plantation pine, mixed forest, and natural deciduous forest of stand age ranging from 10 to 50 years old. Several GLCM-based texture measures were compared with forest stand characteristics. In overall, a texture measure (contrast) calculated using red band were better to differentiate species and age group than other texture measures and near infrared bands.

Scene-based nonuniformity correction techniques for infrared focal-plane arrays have been widely considered as a key technology, and various algorithms have been proposed to compensate for fixed-pattern noise. However, the existed algorithms' capability is always restricted by the problems of convergence speed and ghosting artifacts. In this paper, an effective scene-based nonuniformity correction method is proposed to solve these problems. The algorithm is an improvement over the constant statistics method and a temporal median is utilized with the Gaussian kernel to estimate the nonuniformity parameters. Also theoretical analysis is conducted to demonstrate that effective ghosting artifacts elimination and superior convergence speed can be obtained with the proposed method. Finally, the performance of the proposed technique is tested with infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and with infrared imagery with real nonuniformity. The results show the proposed method is able to estimate each detector's gain and to offset reliably and that it performs better in increasing convergence speed and reducing ghosting artifacts compared with the conventional techniques.

Aqua/ MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 위성의 노후화에 따라 Suomi-NPP/Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 위성영상을 활용한 작황 평가 가능성을 분석하기 위해 미국 일리노이주 옥수수, 콩 재배지를 대상으로 2012년부터 2022년까지 11년동안 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 변화 특성을 분석하였다. MODIS, VIIRS NDVI는 0.98 이상의 높은 상관계수를 보였다. 그러나 작물이 급격히 성장, 쇠락하는 시기에는 VIIRS NDVI가 MODIS에 비해 0.12~0.14 정도 높은 값을 보였다. NDVI를 기반으로 생육이상 등급을 추정한 결과 2018, 2019년 옥수수, 콩의 생육이상 등급은 유사한 변화 경향을 보였다. 그러나 2022년에는 생육등급의 차이가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. MODIS 및 VIIRS 위성영상 NDVI와 옥수수, 콩 수량의 상관계수는 0.8 이상의 높은 값을 보여 MODIS 위성영상뿐 아니라 VIIRS 위성영상을 활용한 수량 추정 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. VIIRS 위성영상 NDVI의 경우 콩 수량 추정에서 작물 증가 추세를 제외하는 것이 상관성을 높여주는 것으로 나타났으며, MODIS에 비해서 NDVI와 수량의 상관성이 16일 정도 이른 시기부터 높은 경향을 보여 조기 추정에 대한 가능성도 확인할 수 있었다.

원자력 발전소의 주변 지역은 해안지역이고 비교적 광범위하므로, 환경 변화를 감시하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. Landsat ETM+영상은 해상도가 30m 급이나 온도정보 추출에 있어 대기보정을 못하는 문제를 가지고 있다. MODIS 영상의 경우 2개의 적외선 밴드를 이용하여 대기보정된 비교적 적확한 온도를 추출할 수 있으나 해상도가 1km이다. 따라서, 두 위성영상의 자료를 이용한다면 대기보정된 고해상도의 온도자료를 추출할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대상지역의 Landsat ETM+영상에 대하여 기하보정을 수행하고, 방사휘도 및 온도를 산정한 후 MODIS영상을 이용하여 대기보정을 수행하였다. 그 결과 울진 원자력발전소 주변 연근해 지역과 온배수의 영향을 받지 않는 동쪽으로 5km 떨어진 동일 면적의 지역과 비교하여 보았을 때 약 $3.5^{\circ}C$ 높은 것을 알 수 있었다.

Burn severity analysis using satellite imagery has high capabilities for research and management in inaccessible areas. We extracted the forest fire area of the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) in the western Imjin Estuary which is restricted to access due to the confrontation between South and North Korea. Then we analyzed the forest fire severity and recoverability using atmospheric corrected Surface Reflectance Level-2 data collected from Landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imagery) / TIRS (Thermal Infrared Sensor). Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR), differenced NBR (dNBR), and Relative dNBR (RdNBR) were analyzed based on changes in the spectral pattern of satellite images to estimate burn severity area and intensity. Also, we evaluated the recoverability after a forest fire using a land cover map which is constructed from the NBR, dNBR, and RdNBR analyzed results. The results of dNBR and RdNBR analysis for the six years (during May 30, 2014 - May 30, 2020) showed that the intensity of monthly burn severity was affected by seasonal changes after the outbreak and the intensity of annual burn severity gradually decreased after the fire events. The regrowth of vegetation was detected in most of the affected areas for three years (until May 2020) after the forest fire reoccurred in May 2017. The monthly recoverability (from April 2014 to December 2015) of forests and grass fields was increased and decreased per month depending on the vegetation growth rate of each season. In the case of annual recoverability, the growth of forest and grass field was reset caused by the recurrence of a forest fire in 2017, then gradually recovered with grass fields from 2017 to 2020. We confirmed that remote sensing was effectively applied to research of the burn severity and recoverability in the DMZ. This study would also provide implications for the management and construction statistics database of the forest fire in the DMZ.

This study extracted Near Infrared (NIR) band using Image Processing Technology (IPT), and calculated Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Aerial photography from Daum portal in combination with high resolution satellite image was employed to improve vegetation sensitivity by extracting NIR band and calculating NDVI with comparison to QuickBird result. The extracted NIR band and NDVI through IPT presented similar distribution pattern. In addition, a regression analysis by land cover character showed high correlation paddy and forest Therefore, this approach could be acceptable to acquire vegetation environment information.

Atmospheric correction of Landsat Visible and Near Infrared imagery (VIS/NIR) over aquatic environment is more demanding than over land because the signal from the water column is small and it carries immense information about biogeochemical variables in the ocean. This paper introduces two methods, a modified dark-pixel substraction technique (path--extraction) and our spectral shape matching method (SSMM), for the correction of the atmospheric effects in the Landsat VIS/NIR imagery in relation to the retrieval of meaningful information about the ocean color, especially from Case-2 waters (Morel and Prieur, 1977) around Korean peninsula. The results of these methods are compared with the classical atmospheric correction approaches based on the 6S radiative transfer model and standard SeaWiFS atmospheric algorithm. The atmospheric correction scheme using 6S radiative transfer code assumes a standard atmosphere with constant aerosol loading and a uniform, Lambertian surface, while the path-extraction assumes that the total radiance (L/sub TOA/) of a pixel of the black ocean (referred by Antoine and Morel, 1999) in a given image is considered as the path signal, which remains constant over, at least, the sub scene of Landsat VIS/NIR imagery. The assumption of SSMM is nearly similar, but it extracts the path signal from the L/sub TOA/ by matching-up the in-situ data of water-leaving radiance, for typical clear and turbid waters, and extrapolate it to be the spatially homogeneous contribution of the scattered signal after complex interaction of light with atmospheric aerosols and Raleigh particles, and direct reflection of light on the sea surface. The overall shape and magnitude of radiance or reflectance spectra of the atmospherically corrected Landsat VIS/NIR imagery by SSMM appears to have good agreement with the in-situ spectra collected for clear and turbid waters, while path-extraction over turbid waters though often reproduces in-situ spectra, but yields significant errors for clear waters due to the invalid assumption of zero water-leaving radiance for the black ocean pixels. Because of the standard atmosphere with constant aerosols and models adopted in 6S radiative transfer code, a large error is possible between the retrieved and in-situ spectra. The efficiency of spectral shape matching has also been explored, using SeaWiFS imagery for turbid waters and compared with that of the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm, which falls in highly turbid waters, due to the assumption that values of water-leaving radiance in the two NIR bands are negligible to enable retrieval of aerosol reflectance in the correction of ocean color imagery. Validation suggests that accurate the retrieval of water-leaving radiance is not feasible with the invalid assumption of the classical algorithms, but is feasible with SSMM.
