Land surface temperature is essential for monitoring abnormal climate phenomena such as UHI (Urban Heat Islands), and for modeling weather patterns. However, the quality of surface temperature obtained from the optical space imagery is affected by many factors such as, revisit period of the satellite, instance of capture, spatial resolution, and cloud coverage. Landsat 8 imagery, often used to obtain surface temperatures, has a high resolution of 30 meters (100 meters rearranged to 30 meters) and a revisit frequency of 16 days. On the contrary, MODIS imagery can be acquired daily with a spatial resolution of about 1 kilometer. Many past attempts have been made using both Landsat and MODIS imagery to complement each other to produce an imagery of improved temporal and spatial resolution. This paper applied machine learning methods and performed downscaling which can obtain daily based land surface temperature imagery of 30 meters.

Forest biomass is the basis of forest ecosystem. With the rapid development of remote sensing and computer technology, forest biomass estimation using remote sensing data is paid great attention and has acquired great achievements. This article focuses on discussion of methods of forest biomass estimation methods using Terra/MODIS data in Northeast China. The research include: combining the MODIS time series parameters with seasonal characteristics of forest species to identify major forest species; establishing a model to estimate forest biomass based on forest species; analyzing the effects of the existent forest biomass and increasing biomass on terrestrial carbon cycle. This research can help to make clear the mechanism of carbon cycle.

Micrometeorlogical and upper air observation have been conducted in order to determine the atmospheric boundary layer depth based on data from satellite and automatic weather systems. Terra/MODIS temperature profiles and sensible heat fluxes from the gradient method were used to estimate the mixed layer height over a coastal region. Results of the integral model were in good agreement with the mixed layer height observed using GPS radiosonde at Wolsung ($35.72^{\circ}N$, $129.48^{\circ}E$). Since the variation of the mixed layer height depends on the surface sensible heat flux, the integral model estimated properly the mixed layer height in the daytime. The buoyant heat flux, which is more important than the sensible heat flux in the coastal region, must be taken into consideration to improve the integral model. The vertical structure of atmospheric boundary layer can be analyzed only with the routine data and the satellite data.

This study is a comparative analysis of chlorophyll a retrievals in the JES from SeaWiFS and MODIS/Terra. SeaWiFS and MODIS/Terra data over period from 2000 through 2003 were compared. The chlorophyll concentration from the SeaWiFS was generally higher than that from MODIS during the period. There are some possible causes for such discrepancy: differences in the sensor sensitivity, chlorophyll algorithms, and atmospheric correction algorithms. We checked some of these possibilities. We also compared the data from other regions. The deviation between the two data sets was highly correlated with chlorophyll concentrations Atmospheric corrections seem the major cause of the discrepancy.

Radiative transfer modeling of ice clouds is developed. Ice clouds located near tropopause reflect most of sunlight, thus atmospheric and surface effects can be minimized. Cloud properties such as cloud optical thickness (COT) and effective radius are important parameters to determine the magnitude of reflectance, while atmospheric and surface parameters rarely affect reflectance value. For selected homogeneous cloud pixels of MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observation, reflectances are calculated using MODIS cloud products as inputs of radiative transfer model (RTM). For three types of phase function (Henyey-Greenstein, Garcia-Siewert, Baum) calculated reflectances are compared with observations for validation. All cases show linear relationship between simulated values and measured values, however each represent different bias and slope. The result shows that phase function determine angular distribution of reflectance.

In order for the evaluation and analysis of the spring drought which has been periodically occurring in Korean peninsula since 2000, the use of satellite image data is increasing to investigate temporal and spatial characteristics of the drought areas. The recent spring droughts in south Korea have some characteristics. It last for short period in spring when the activity of vegetation is not lively and it have large areal deviation in the severity of drought. In this study, considering the characteristics of the spring drought in Korean peninsular, the MODIS satellite image data which has superior spatial and radiometric resolutions was used for the analysis of the spring drought. In two basins having different spatial characteristics, the drought events were selected and their severities were analyzed using the MODIS NDVI, LSWI, and daily rainfall data since 2000, and the spatial characteristics of the drought area were analyzed using the DEM, land cover, and digital forest map of the study areas.

눈은 지표면의 물리과정에서 중요한 요소 중의 하나로 짧은 시간 동안에 많은 변화를 유도할 있다. 본 연구에 MODIS 채널자료를 이용하여 적설역에서 나타나는 단파적외 채널과 반사도 특성을 알아보았다 일반적으로 MODIS 위성자료를 이용한 적설연구는 근적외 채널을 활용한 NOSI (Normalized Difference of Snow Index)를 주로 사용한다. 하지만 본 연구는 정지기상 위성의 적셜 탐지 능력을 시험하기 위한 연구이다. 따라서 정지 기상 위성 탑재되어 있는 채널의 특성과 비슷한MODIS 가시 채널과 단파 적외 채널 자료를 이용하여 적설지역을 분석하였다단일 가시 채널을 이용하여 적설을 탐지 하는 것은 청천역일 경우 큰 어려움이 없으나 반면 구름과 적설이 혼재되어 있는 지역에서는 탐지 능력이 떨어진다.반면 BID 값을 활용한 적설지역 탐지는 단일 가시 채널을 활용한 방법보다 좋은 결과를 가지지만 하층운이 존재할 때는 여전히 적설과 구름을 명확히 구분하기는 어렵다.

The purpose of this study is to identify how much the MODIS NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) can explain the soil moisture simulated from SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) continuous hydrological model. For the application, ChungjuDam watershed (6,661.3 $km^2$) was adopted which covers land uses of 82.2 % forest, 10.3 % paddy field, and 1.8 % upland crop respectively. For the preparation of spatial soil moisture distribution, the SWAT model was calibrated and verified at two locations (watershed outlet and Yeongwol water level gauging station) of the watershed using daily streamflow data of 7 years (2000-2006). The average Nash and Sutcliffe model efficiencies for the verification at two locations were 0.83 and 0.91 respectively. The 16 days spatial correlation between MODIS NDVI and SWAT soil moisture were evaluated especially during the NDVI increasing periods for forest areas.

The shape of streamflow hydrograph during the early period of spring is very much controlled by the area and depth of snow cover especially in mountainous area. When we simulate the streamfolw of a watershed snowmelt, we need some information for snow cover extent and depth distribution as parameters and input data in the hydrological models. The purpose of this study is to suggest an extraction method of snow cover area and snow depth distribution using Terra MODIS image. Snow cover extent for South Korea was extracted for the period of December 2000 and April 2006. For the snow cover area, the snow depth was interpolated using the snow depth data from 69 meteorological observation stations. With these data, it is necessary to run a hydrological model considering the snow-related data and compare the simulated streamflow with the observed data and check the applicability for the snowmelt simulation.

토양수분은 지표의 다양한 과정을 통제하는 중요한 수문학적 변수며 이에 신뢰할 수 있는 토양수분의 정보를 습득하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 정확한 토양수분의 실측자료는 그 설치비용과 인력부족으로 매우 빈약하여 이를 대체할 만한 정보를 획득하기 위한 연구 또한 부족하다. 요즘, 많은 수문모형의 개발로 토양 수분 또한 결과물로써 많이 이용된다. 그러나 모형에서 모의된 토양수분의 신뢰성을 판단할 때는 실측자료를 이용하는 것이 가장 이상적이나, 토양수분의 실측값이 부족하므로, 유역의 토양수분 실측자료 대신 모의된 토양수분을 적용할 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 우리나라 소양강댐 유역에 대하여 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 이용하여 실측 토양수분자료를 최대한 활용함으로써 토양수분을 모의하였다. 또한 모의된 토양수분을 Terra MODIS NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)와 LST(Land Surface Temperature)과의 상관성을 계절별, 월별로 분석하여 그 관계식을 도출하고자 하였다.
