The purpose of this study is to evaluate hydrological impact by the land cover change of typhoon damage. For the typhoon RUSA (rainfall 1,402 mm) occurred in 2002 (August $31\;{\sim}$ September 1), satellite images of Landsat 7 ETM+ of September 29, 2000 and Landsat 5 TM of September 11, 2002 were selected, and each land cover was classified for Namdae-cheon watershed $192.7km^2$ located in the middle-eastern part of Korea Peninsula. SCS unit hydrograph for watershed runoff and Muskingum for streamflow routing of WMS HEC-1 was adopted. 30m resolution DEM & hydrological soil group using 1:50,000 soil map were prepared. The model was calibrated using three available data of storm events of 1985 to 1988 based on 1985 land cover condition. To predict the streamflow change by damaged land cover condition, rainfall of 50 years to 500 years frequency were generated using 2nd quantile of Huff method. The damaged land cover condition treated as bare soil surface increased streamflow of $50.1\;m^3/sec$ for 50 years rainfall frequency and $67.6\;m^3/sec$ for 500 years rainfall frequency based on AMC-I condition. There may be some speedy treatment by the government for the next coming typhoon damage.

Analysis Ready Data (ARD) for optical satellite images represents a pre-processed product by applying spectral characteristics and viewing parameters for each sensor. The atmospheric correction is one of the fundamental and complicated topics, which helps to produce Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) and Top-of-Canopy (TOC) reflectance from multi-spectral image sets. Most remote sensing software provides algorithms or processing schemes dedicated to those corrections of the Landsat-8 OLI sensors. Furthermore, Google Earth Engine (GEE), provides direct access to Landsat reflectance products, USGS-based ARD (USGS-ARD), on the cloud environment. We implemented the Orfeo ToolBox (OTB) atmospheric correction extension, an open-source remote sensing software for manipulating and analyzing high-resolution satellite images. This is the first tool because OTB has not provided calibration modules for any Landsat sensors. Using this extension software, we conducted the absolute atmospheric correction on the Landsat-8 OLI images of Railroad Valley, United States (RVUS) to validate their reflectance products using reflectance data sets of RVUS in the RadCalNet portal. The results showed that the reflectance products using the OTB extension for Landsat revealed a difference by less than 5% compared to RadCalNet RVUS data. In addition, we performed a comparative analysis with reflectance products obtained from other open-source tools such as a QGIS semi-automatic classification plugin and SAGA, besides USGS-ARD products. The reflectance products by the OTB extension showed a high consistency to those of USGS-ARD within the acceptable level in the measurement data range of the RadCalNet RVUS, compared to those of the other two open-source tools. In this study, the verification of the atmospheric calibration processor in OTB extension was carried out, and it proved the application possibility for other satellite sensors in the Compact Advanced Satellite (CAS)-500 or new optical satellites.

The Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) of Chile consists of many volcanoes, including the Mt.Villarrica and Mt.Llaima, and the two volcanoes are covered with snow at the top of Mountain. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the ice caps and the volcanic activity of the two volcanoes for 25 years by using the satellite image data are available in a time series. A total of 60 Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-7 ETM + data were used for the study from September 1986 to February 2011. Using NDSI (Normalized Difference Snow Index) algorithm and SRTM DEM, snow cover and snowline were extracted. Finally, the snow cover area, lower-snowline, and upper-snowline, which are quantitative indicators of snow cover change, were directly or indirectly affected by volcanic activity, were extracted from the satellite images. The results show that the volcanic activity of Villarrica volcano is more than 55% when the snow cover is less than 20 and the lower-snowline is 1,880 m in Llaima volcano. In addition, when the upper-snowline of the two volcanoes is below -170m, it can be confirmed that the volcano is differentiated with a probability of about 90%. Therefore, the changes in volcanic snowfall are closely correlated with volcanic activity, and it is possible to indirectly deduce volcanic activity by monitoring the snow.

For estimating paddy field area with Landsat TM images, two dates, May 31, 1991 (transplanting stage) and August 19, 1991 (heading stage) were selected by the data analysis of digital numbers considering rice cropping calendar. Four different estimating methods (1) rule-based classification method, (2) supervised classification(maximum likelihood), (3) unsupervised classification (ISODATA, No. of class:15), (4) unsupervised classification (ISODATA, No. of class:20) were examined. Paddy field area was estimated to 7291.19 ha by non-classification method. In comparison with topographical map (1:25,000), accuracy far paddy field area was 92%. A new image stacked by 10 layers, Landsat TM band 3,4,5, RVI, and wetness in May 31,1991 and August 19,1991 was made to estimate paddy field area by both supervised and unsupervised classification method. Paddy field was classified to 9100.98 ha by supervised classification. Error matrix showed 97.2% overall accuracy far training samples. Accuracy compared with topographical map was 95%. Unsupervised classifications by ISODATA using principal axis. Paddy field area by two different classification number of criteria were 6663.60 ha and 5704.56 ha and accuracy compared with topographical map was 87% and 82%. Irrespective of the estimating methods, paddy fields were discriminated very well by using two-date Landsat TM images in May 31,1991 (transplanting stage) and August 19,1991 (heading stage). Among estimation methods, rule-based classification method was the easiest to analyze and fast to process.

서울은 인구 1000만이 넘는 세계적인 대도시로 발전하였다. 1970년대 이후로 급속적인 경제발전과 더불어 서울의 도시화는 급속히 이루어졌으며 이에 따른 인구집중 역시 빠른 속도로 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 서울과 그 주변 도시를 대상으로 인구자료와 행정구역도 그리고 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 인구밀도의 변화에 따른 도시의 성장형태를 분석하여 도시의 관리와 발전계획을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 도시성장 분석을 위한 기존의 연구방법은 행정구역에 따른 인구밀도를 통해 수행되었으나 이는 행정구역 내에 일률적인 인구데이터의 분배로 실제 경우와 다른 해석이 가능할 수 있는 오류를 포함하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실질적인 대부분의 인구가 도시지역에 거주한다는 가정 하에 1985년부터 2000년까지의 5년 간격의 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 도시지역을 추출하고 이를 기초로 행정구역 내에 포함되어 있는 도시지역에만 인구를 배분하는 새로운 방식으로 인구밀도의 변화 추이를 나타내었다. 연구결과 기존에 방법에서는 발견되지 않았던 서울의 확장형태를 알 수 있었으며 또한 인구데이터의 경계현상을 Pycnophylactic 보간 알고리즘을 통해 제거함으로써 보다 실질적인 도시지역 인구밀도의 변화를 알 수 있었다. 이러한 인구밀도의 변화는 도시의 성장과 밀접한 상관관계를 갖기 때문에 이를 통해 서울 및 주변도시의 성장 형태를 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 4장의 서울-경기 도시지역의 인구밀도 변화도를 제작하여 GIS를 이용한 관련 분야의 활용에 도움이 되고자 한다.

지표에서의 토양수분은 작은 구성비를 가짐에도 불구하고 여러 수문 현상을 연계하는 매우 중요한 인자로써 최근 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 토양수분은 침투나 침루를 통하여 강우와 지하수를 연결하는 기능을 함과 동시에 강우사상에 따른 유출특성에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 증발산을 통하여 에너지 순환을 연결하는 기능을 하는 인자로 기후변화와 인간의 활동에 의해 영향을 받는다. 지난 수십 년간 산림개간과 도시화는 토지이용의 변화를 초래하여 토지피복의 변화를 초래하였다. 도시화는 불투수층을 증가시켰고, 산림개간으로 산림이 농장으로 변하여 침투율을 감소시켜 유출률의 증가를 초래하였다. 이처럼 토지피복의 변화는 토양수분의 변화에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 토지피복 분류를 위해 구름의 영향이 적은 Landsat TM 영상을 사용하여 청미천 유역의 토지피복을 분류하여 토지피복도를 작성하였다. 청미천 유역은 현재 국제수문관측사업(IHP)의 일환으로 체계적인 수문관측이 진행되고 있는 지점으로, 추후 인공위성 영상을 통해 산정한 토양수분 자료를 비교할 수 있는 유역이다. Landsat TM 영상은 2009년 5월 23일에 관측된 115-34(path row) 영상으로 구름이 거의 없는 날의 자료를 사용하였다. 다중 스펙트럴 위성영상인 Landsat TM 영상은 30m 공간해상도로써 토지피복분류와 식생 등의 정보를 추출하는데 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 청미천 유역의 위성영상에 대하여 영상의 전처리 과정을 거쳐 무감독분류와 감독분류기법을 적용하여 토지피복을 분류하였다. 분류한 토지피복도는 국토해양부에서 국가수자원관리 종합정보시스템(WAMIS) 을 통하여 제공되는 토지피복도와 비교하였다.

The Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) has suggested that spatial and spectral characteristics would be suited to evaluate water quality of lake. But, TM has not been commonly used for the analysis of in-land water quality, such as surface water temperature, chlorophyll-a, suspended sediments, and Secchi depth in domestic research. This paper summarizes the analysis of Landsat 5 - TM image collected on 22 Feb 1996 for evaluation of chlorophyll-a and surface temperature in the Lake Soyang. And, field measurements collected in the Lake Soyang were used to obtain water optical algorithms for calibration of satellite data. It is concluded that we can assess chlorophyll-a with remote sensing reflectance and surface temperature with thermal band in lake Soyang. However, surface temperature calculated with thermal band of Landsat TM are underestimated. Relationship between remote sensing reflectance and chlorophyll-a using the ratio of TM band 1 and band 3 is as follows; Y = 17.206 - 6.4711 * (Rrs(band1) / Rrs(band3)) $R^2$=0.8762 and, using the ratio of TM band 1 and band 2 as follows; Y = 57.77 - 35.771 * (Rrs(band1) / Rrs(band2)) $R^2$=0.8317.

To investigate the streamflow impact of land cover changes by a typhoon, WMS HEC-1 storm runoff model was applied by using land cover information before and after the typhoon. The model was calibrated with three storm events of 1985 to 1988 based on 1985 land cover condition for a 192.7 $km^2$ watershed in northeast coast of South Korea. After the model was tested, it was run to estimate impacts of land cover change by the typhoon RUSA occurred in 2002 (31 August - 1 September) with 897.5 mm rainfall. The land covers before and after the typhoon were prepared using Landsat 7 ETM+ of September 11 of 2000 and Landsat 5 TM of September 29 of 2002 respectively. For the 6.9 $km^2$ damaged area (3.6 % of the watershed), the peak runoff and total runoff by the changed land cover condition increased 12.5 % and 12.7 % for 50 years rainfall frequency and 1.4 % and 1.8 % for 500 years rainfall frequency respectively based on AMC (Antecedent Moisture Condition)-I condition.

This study presents an investigation of the changes that have occurred in the coastal ocean area of Kwangyang Bay located in the South Coastal region of Korea using remote sensing data based on Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) multispectral digital data from 1988 and 1996. The coastal changes were detected using the digital histogram method and vector trace method. All the images were preprocessed, i.e. geometrically corrected, before the training set selection. when comparing the histograms of 7-band TM data, it was found that the band 5 image exhibited two critical Digital Number(DN) peaks, thereby indicating new coastal water and coastal land data. Based on this information, the coastal ocean area of the band 5 image was calculated using the vector tracing method supported by a CAD program. The result shows that the coastal ocean area decreased by about 5 % between 1988 to 1994. Accordingly, this gives a strong indication that the continuing land development will have a serious impact on the ecosystem of Kwangyang Bay.
