Variations in phytoplankton concentrations result from changes of the ocean color caused by phytoplankton pigments. Thus, ocean spectral reflectance for low chlorophyll waters are blue and high chlorophyll waters tend to have green reflectance. In the Korea region, clear waters and the open sea in the Kuroshio regions of the East China Sea have low chlorophyll. As one moves even closer In the northwestern part of the East China Sea, the situation becomes much more optically complicated, with contributions not only from higher concentration of phytoplankton, but also from sediments and dissolved materials from terrestrial and sea bottom sources. The color often approaches yellow-brown in the turbidity waters (Case Ⅱ waters). To verify satellite ocean color retrievals, or to develop new algorithms for complex case Ⅱ regions requires ship-based studies. In this study, we compared the chlorophyll retrievals from NASA's SeaWiFS sensor with chlorophyll values determined with standard fluorometric methods during two cruises on Korean NFRDI ships. For the SeaWiFS data, we used the standard NASA SeaWiFS algorithm to estimate the chlorophyll_a distribution around the Korean waters using Orbview/ SeaWiFS satellite data acquired by our HPRT station at NFRDl. We studied In find out the relationship between the measured chlorophyll_a from the ship and the estimated chlorophyll_a from the SeaWiFs satellite data around the northern part of the East China Sea, in February, and May, 2000. The relationship between the measured chlorophyll_a and the SeaWiFS chlorophyll_a shows following the equations (1) In the northern part of the East China Sea. Chlorophyll_a =0.121Ln(X) + 0.504, R²= 0.73 (1) We also determined total suspended sediment mass (55) and compared it with SeaWiFS spectral band ratio. A suspended solid algorithm was composed of in-.situ data and the ratio (L/sub WN/(490 ㎚)L/sub WN/(555 ㎚) of the SeaWiFS wavelength bands. The relationship between the measured suspended solid and the SeaWiFS band ratio shows following the equation (2) in the northern part of the East China Sea. SS = -0.703 Ln(X) + 2.237, R²= 0.62 (2) In the near future, NFRDI will develop algorithms for quantifying the ocean color properties around the Korean waters, with the data from regular ocean observations using its own research vessels and from three satellites, KOMPSAT/OSMl, Terra/MODIS and Orbview/SeaWiFS.

Albedo is one of the critical parameters for understanding global climate change and energy/water balance. In this study, we used red and NIR reflectance from Satellite Pour I'Obervation de la Terre (SPOT)/Vegetation (VGT) S1 product. The product is preprocessed for users that they are atmospherically corrected using Simple Method Atmospheric Correction (SMAC) by Vision on Technology (VITO) for calculating broadband albedo. Roujean's Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) model is a semi-empirical method used for BRDF angular integration and inversion. Each kernel of Roujean's model was multi integrated by angle components (i.e., viewing zenith, solar zenith, and relative azimuth angle). Black-sky hemispherical function is integrated by observational angle; whereas, white-sky hemispherical efficient is integrated by incident angle. Estimated spectral albedo of red ($0.61{\sim}0.68{\mu}m$, B2) and near infrared ($0.79{\sim}0.89{\mu}m$, B3) have a good agreement with MODIS albedo products.

Besides empirical algorithms with the blue-green ratio, the algorithms based on fluorescence are also important and valid methods for retrieving chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean waters, especially for Case II waters and the sea with algal blooming. This study reviews the history of initial cognitions, investigations and detailed approaches towards chlorophyll fluorescence, and then introduces the biological mechanism of fluorescence remote sensing and main spectral characteristics such as the positive correlation between fluorescence and chlorophyll concentration, the red shift phenomena. Meanwhile, there exist many influence factors that increase complexity of fluorescence remote sensing, such as fluorescence quantum yield, physiological status of various algae, substances with related optical property in the ocean, atmospheric absorption etc. Based on these cognitions, scientists have found two ways to calculate the amount of fluorescence detected by ocean color sensors: fluorescence line height and reflectance ratio. These two ways are currently the foundation for retrieval of chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean. As the in-situ measurements and synchronous satellite data are continuously being accumulated, the fluorescence remote sensing of chlorophyll-a concentration in Case II waters should be recognized more thoroughly and new algorithms could be expected.

Spatial information of snow cover and depth distribution is a key component for snowmelt runoff modeling. Wide snow cover areas can be extracted from NOAA AVHRR or Terra MODIS satellite images. In this study eight sets of annual snow cover data (1997-2006) in two mountainous watersheds (A: Chungju-Dam and B: Soyanggang-Dam) were extracted using NOAA AVHRR images. The distribution of snow depth within the Snow Cover Area (SCA) was generated using snowfall data from ground meteorological observation stations. Snow depletion characteristics for the two watersheds were analyzed snow distribution time series data. The decreased pattern of SCA can be expressed as a logarithmic function; the determination coefficients were 0.62 and 0.68 for the A and B watersheds, respectively. The SCA decreased over 70% within 10 days from the time of maximum SCA.

The purpose of this study is to develop snow and sea ice detection algorithm in Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) meteorological data processing system. Since COMS has only five channels, it is not affordable to use microwave or shortwave infrared data which are effective and generally used for snow detection. In order to estimate snow and sea ice coverage, combinations between available channel data(mostly visible and 3.7 ${\mu}m$) are applied to the algorithm based on threshold method. As a result, the COMS snow and sea ice detection algorithm shows reliable performance compared to MODIS products with channel limitation. Specifically, there is partial underestimation over the complicated vegetation area and overestimation over the area of high level clouds such as cirrus. Some corrections are performed by using water vapor and infrared channels to remove cloud contamination and by applying NDVI to detect more snow pixels for the underestimated area.

본 연구에서 소개할 SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land) (Bastiaanssen, 1995) 모형은 Landsat이나 NOAA 또는 MODIS 같은 원격탐사 위성으로부터 획득한 디지털 이미지 데이터(위성영상)를 이용하여, 지표에서 일어나는 증발산과 기타의 에너지 교환을 계산하는 이미지-프로세싱 모델이다. SEBAL 모형은 1995년 Bastiaanssen에 의해 처음 제안되었고, 미국의 Idaho 주립대학과 Idaho Department of Water Resources에서 NASA와 기업의 지원을 받아 활발히 연구 되었으며, 25개의 sub model들을 이용하여 지표의 증발산량과 기타 여러 에너지 교환을 계산한다. 여기서, 열적외선 방사, 표시 및 근적외선 측정은 Landsat 또는 기타 여러 위성영상을 통해 얻을 수 있으며, SEBAL 모형은 이러한 자료를 활용한다. 모형에서의 증발산량(ET)은 에너지 균형원리를 통해 pixel-by-pixel을 기준으로 계산되며, 본 연구에서 SEBAL 모형은 한강 유역 내의 경안천 유역 증발산량 map 생성을 위해 6개년도 지점 Landsat 위성영상을 이용하어 추정되었다. 연구의 목적은 SEBAL 모형을 통해 생성 된 30m 해상도의 공간 증발산량 map의 활용성 평가와 검증이며, 검증을 위해 FAO Penman-Monteith 공식을 이용하여 추정된 증발산량 값을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 오차가 2.7% 이내로 나타났다.

Surface temperature has been derived from the MODIS/ASTER airborne simulator (MASTER) mid-wave infrared single channel data using the MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission (MODTRAN) radiative transfer model with input data including the University of Wisconsin (UW) emissivity, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) atmospheric profiles, and solar and line-of-sight geometry. We have selected the study area that covers some surface types such as water, sand, agricultural (vegetated) land, and clouds. Results of the current study show the reasonable geographical distribution of surface temperature over land and water similar to the pattern of the MASTER L2 surface temperature. The thorough quantitative validation of surface temperature retrieved from this study is somehow limited due to the lack of in-situ measurements. One point comparison at the Salton Sea buoy shows that the present estimate is 1.8 K higher than the field data. Further comparison with the MASTER L2 surface temperature over the study area reveals statistically good agreement with mean differences of 4.6 K between two estimates. We further analyze the surface temperature differences between two estimates and find primary factors to be emissivity and atmospheric correction.

딥러닝 알고리즘 중 과거의 정보를 저장하는 문제(장기종속성 문제)가 있는 단순 RNN(Simple Recurrent Neural Network)의 단점을 해결한 LSTM(Long short-term memory)이 등장하면서 특정한 유역의 강우-유출 모형을 구축하는 연구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 하나의 모형으로 모든 유역에 대한 유출을 예측하는 지역화 강우-유출 모형은 서로 다른 유역의 식생, 지형 등의 차이에서 발생하는 수문학적 행동의 차이를 학습해야 하므로 모형 구축에 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내 12개의 유역에 대하여 LSTM 기반 분포형 지역화 강우-유출 모형을 구축한 이후 강우 이외의 보조 자료에 따른 정확도를 살펴보았다. 국내 12개 유역의 7년 (2012.01.01-2018.12.31) 동안의 49개 격자(4km²)에 대한 10분 간격 레이더 강우, MODIS 위성 이미지 영상을 활용한 식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), 10분 간격 기온, 유역 평균 경사, 단순 하천 경사를 입력자료로 활용하였으며 10분 간격 유량 자료를 출력 자료로 사용하여 LSTM 기반 분포형 지역화 강우-유출 모형을 구축하였다. 이후 구축된 모형의 성능을 검증하기 위해 학습에 사용되지 않은 3개의 유역에 대한 자료를 활용하여 Nash-Sutcliffe Model Efficiency Coefficient (NSE)를 확인하였다. 식생지수를 보조 자료를 활용하였을 경우 제안한 모형은 3개의 검증 유역에 대하여 하천 흐름을 높은 정확도로 예측하였으며 딥러닝 모형이 위성 자료를 통하여 식생에 의한 차단 및 토양 침투와 같은 동적 요소의 학습이 가능함을 나타낸다.

Fire, being primarily a natural phenomenon, is impossible to control, although it is feasible to map the forest fire risk zone, minimizing the frequency of fires. The spread of a fire starting in any stand in a forest can be predicted, given the burning conditions. The natural cover of the land and the safety of the population may be threatened by the spread of forest fires; thus, the prevention of fire damage requires early discovery. Satellite data and geographic information system (GIS) can be used effectively to combine different forest-fire-causing factors for mapping the forest fire risk zone. This study mainly focuses on mapping forest fire risk in the Madikhola watershed. The primary causes of forest fires appear to be human negligence, uncontrolled fire in nearby forests and agricultural regions, and fire for pastoral purposes which were used to evaluate and assign risk values to the mapping process. The majority of fires, according to MODIS events, occurred from December to April, with March recording the highest occurrences. The Risk Zonation Map, which was prepared using LULC, Forest Type, Slope, Aspect, Elevation, Road Proximity, and Proximity to Water Bodies, showed that a High Fire Risk Zone comprised 29% of the Total Watershed Area, followed by a Moderate Risk Zone, covering 37% of the total area. The derived map products are helpful to local forest managers to minimize fire risks within the forests and take proper responses when fires break out. This study further recommends including the fuel factor and other fire-contributing factors to derive a higher resolution of the fire risk map.
