We described for the production of cloud-free satellite sea surface temperature(SST) data around Northeast Asian using NOAA AVHRR(Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) SST data during 1990-2005. As a result of Markov model, it was found that the value of Markov coefficient in the strong current region such as Kuroshio region showed smaller than that in the weak current. The variations of average SST and regional difference of seasonal day-to-day SST in spring and fall were larger than those in summer and winter. In particular, the distribution of the regional difference appeared large in the vicinity of continental in spring and fall. The difference of seasonal day-to-day SST was also small in Kuroshio region and southern part of East Sea due to the heat advection by warm currents.

Awareness of boats is a main issue in areas of fishery management, illegal fishing, and maritime traffic, etc. For the awareness, Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Vessel-Pass System (V-PASS) have been widely used to collect the boat-related information. However, only using these systems makes it difficult to collect the accurate information. Recently, satellite-based data has been increasingly used as a cooperative system. In 2015, U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed a boat detection algorithm using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day & Night Band (DNB) data. Although the detections have been widely utilized in many publications, it is difficult to estimate the night-time fishing boats immediately. Particularly, it is difficult to estimate the threshold due to the lunar irradiation effect. This effect must be corrected to apply a single specific threshold. In this study, the moon phase was considered as the main frequency of this effect. Considering the moon phase, relational expressions are derived and then used as offsets for relative correction. After the correction, it shows a significant reduction in the standard deviation of the threshold compared to the threshold of NOAA. Through the correction, this study can set a constant threshold every day without determination of different thresholds. In conclusion, this study can achieve the detection applying the single specific threshold regardless of the moon phase.

Using a directional antenna, the Doppler effect of satellites can be detected and the orbital elements can be obtained by the Extended Kalman Filter with the observed frequency shift data. We obtained the orbital elements of NOAA-11 by the application of the Extended Kalman Filter type algorithm to the Doppler shift data of NOAA-11d and discussed the accuracy and the credibility of this algorithm.

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) 9, which is currently located at 155°E geostationary orbits, has transmitted earth observation data acquired by imager to CDA at NOAA. After the acquisition on ground, observation data are corrected on ground and re-transmitted to GOES-9 for the dissemination to users. In this paper, the procedure and result from raw data acquisition and pre-processing for earth observation imagery retrieval from GOES-9 Raw data acquired in Korea at May 2005 are introduced.

We developed a software system called IODS(ISSA Orbit Determination System), which can predict the orbit of arbitary artificial satellite using the numerical method. For evaluating the orbit prediction accuracy of IODS, the orbital data predicted for the meteorological satellite NOAA-11 and the stationary satellite INTELSAT-V are intercompared with those tracked at the Central Bureau of Meterology and the Kum-San Satellite Communication Station. And the Perturbations affecting the orbit of these artificial satellites are quantitatively analyzed. The orbital variation and the eclipse phenomina due to the shadow are analyzed for a hypothetical geostationary satellite called KORSAT-1 which is assumed to be located in longitude $110^{circ}E$.

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.

To study the spatial and temporal variations of sea surface temperature(SST) in the Northeast Asia sea during the period of 1985 to 2009. At first, the buoy data from Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) and the satellite data have been matched up eight points. The root mean square error and the bias were increased towards the coastal shallow region. The study area which is divided 7 regions from Japan Meteorological Agency(JMA). We analyzed NOAA/AVHRR data by harmonic analysis which is comparison and analysis the center of the each regions. The mean SST varied between $8^{\circ}C$ to $26.0^{\circ}C$. The annual amplitude varied between $7^{\circ}C$ to $24^{\circ}C$. And the annual phase varied between end of July to end of August. Cross-correlation coefficients of mean SST, annual amplitude, and annual phase varied 0.57 to 0.85, -0.04 to 0.81 and 0.35 to 0.80 at all study area, respectively.

지표와 대기사이에서 식물의 광합성 및 증발산 능력과 밀접하게 관련되어 있는 엽면적지수는 식생밀도를 나타낼때 사용되는 식생지수이다. 본 연구에서는 NOAA-AVHRR 자료를 사용한 엽면적지수를 사용하여 남한지역 엽면적지수의 시공간변화도와 주기성분석을 실시하였고 소양강댐유역, 안동댐유역과 주요 도시의 엽면적지수의 월별, 년별, 계절별 추세를 분석하였다. 추세분석결과 월추세 분석에서는 장기간의 뚜렷한 변동성을 나타내지는 않았지만 겨울과 봄 보다는 여름과 가을에 식생의 밀도가 더 높은 계절적인 요인에 많은 영향을 받는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 시간변화 분석결과 계절변화를 제외한 특별한 장기변동을 확인할 수 없었으며 엽면적지수의 공간 변화는 정규식생지수가 보여주는 지형이나 위도의 변화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 변화양상을 보여주지 않았다. 이는 농지 및 삼림 등의 인위적 조성으로 인한 엽면적지수의 공간변화도 양상과 관계있다 하겠다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate monthly evapotranspiration (ET) using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from NOAA/AVHRR Korea peninsula images. Morton actual ET for land surface conditions was evaluated by using 73 daily meteorological data, and the monthly averaged Morton ETs for each land cover were compared with the monthly maximum NDVIs of a year, 2001. There was a high correlation between monthly maximum NDVI and monthly averaged Morton ET. It was concluded that the monthly ET can be estimated from the NDVI information of NOAA/AVHRR.

The purpose of this study is to estimate monthly evapotranspiration (ET) using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) obtained from NOAA-AVHRR data sets. Actual evapotranspiration was evaluated by the complementary relationship, and monthly NDVI was obtained by maximum value composite method from daily NDVI images in the Korean peninsula for the year 2001 The monthly actual ETs for each land cover were compared with the monthly NDVIs to determine relationships between actual ET and NDVI for each land cover category, There was a high correlation between monthly NDVI and monthly mean actual ET. This study presents an alternative approach for land surface evapotranspiration based on remote sensing techniques.
