The Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is a geostationary satellite being developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) is one of the payloads embarked on the COMS satellite. It acquires ocean images around Korea in 8 visible spectral bands with a spatial resolution of about 500 m. The acquired data are used to provide forecasting and now casting of the ocean state. The GOCI operations are controlled by the satellite embedded software, i.e. on-board software. This paper introduces the GOCI payload of the COMS satellite and describes the control software for the GOCI.

Geostationary ocean satellite, unlike other sun-synchronous polar-orbit satellites, will be able to take a picture of a large region several times a day (almost with every one hour interval). For geostationary satellite, the target region is fixed though the location of sun is changed always. Thus, the ocean signal of a given target point is largely dependent on time. In other words, the ocean signal detected by geostationary satellite sensor must translate to the signal of target when both sun and satellite are located in nadir, using another correction model. This correction is performed with a standardization of signal throughout relative geometric relationship among satellite - sun - target points. One signal value of a selected pixel point of the target region of Geostationary Ocean Colour Imager (GOCI) would be set up as a standard, and the ratio of all remained pixel point can be calculated. This relative ratio called bidirectional factor, the result of modelling of spatiotemporal variation of bidirectional factor is shown.

This study attempts to establish a system extracting and monitoring cultural grounds of seaweeds (lavers, brown seaweeds and seaweed fulvescens) and abalone on the basis of both KOMPSAT-2 and Terrasar-X data. The study areas are located in the northwest and southwest coast of South Korea, famous for coastal cultural grounds. The northwest site is in a high tidal range area (on the average, 6.1 min Asan Bay) and has laver cultural grounds for the most. An semi-automatic detection system of laver facilities is described and assessed for spacebome optic images. On the other hand, the southwest cost is most famous for seaweeds. Aquaculture facilities, which cover extensive portions of this area, can be subdivided into three major groups: brown seaweeds, capsosiphon fulvescens and abalone farms. The study is based on interpretation of optic and SAR satellite data and a detailed image analysis procedure is described here. On May 25 and June 2, 2008 the TerraSAR-X radar satellite took some images of the area. SAR data are unique for mapping those farms. In case of abalone farms, the backscatters from surrounding dykes allows for recognition and separation of abalone ponds from all other water-covered surfaces. But identification of seaweeds such as laver, brown seaweeds and seaweed fulvescens depends on the dampening effect due to the presence of the facilities and is a complex task because objects that resemble seaweeds frequently occur, particularly in low wind or tidal conditions. Lastly, fusion of SAR and optic spatial images is tested to enhance the detection of aquaculture facilities by using the panchromatic image with spatial resolution 1 meter and the corresponding multi-spectral, with spatial resolution 4 meters and 4 spectrum bands, from KOMPSAT-2. The mapping accuracy achieved for farms will be estimated and discussed after field verification of preliminary results.

Oil spills are a principal factor of the ocean pollution. The complicated problems involved in detecting oil spills are usually due to varying wind and sea surface condition such as ocean wave and current. The Hebei Spirit accident was happened in the west sea ($36^{\circ}$41'04" N, $126^{\circ}$03'12" E) near about 8 km distant from Tae-An, Korea on December 7, 2007. The aim of this work is to improve the detection and classification performance in order to define a more accurate training set and identifying the feature of oil spill region. This paper deals with an optimization technique for the detection and classification scheme using multi-frequency and multi-polarization SAR and optical image data sets of the oil spilled sea. The used image data are the ENVISAT ASAR WS and Radarsat-1 of C-band and ALOS PALSAR of L-band SAR data and KOMPSAT-2 optical images together with meteorological or oceanographic data. Both the theory and the experimental results obtained are discussed.

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) will be loaded in Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS). To efficiently apply the GOCI data in the variety of fields, it is essential to develop the standard algorithm for estimating the concentration of ocean environmental components (, , and ). For developing the empirical algorithm, about 300 water samples and in situ measurements were collected from sea water around the Korean peninsula from 1998 to 2006. Two kinds of chlorophyll algorithms are developed by using statistical regression and fluorescence technique considering the bio-optical properties in Case-II waters. The single band algorithm for is derived by relationship between Rrs (555) and in situ concentration. The CDOM is estimated by absorption coefficient and ratio of Rrs(412)/Rrs(555). These standard algorithms will be programmed as a module of GOCI Data Processing System (GDPS) until 2008.

Since the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS)/Nimbus-7 was launched in 1978, a variety of studies have been conducted to retrieve ocean color variables from multi-satellites. Several algorithms and formulations have been suggested for estimating ocean color variables based on multi band data at different wavelengths. Chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration is one of the most important variables to understand low-level ecosystem in the ocean. To retrieve chl-a concentrations from the satellite observations, an appropriate algorithm depending on water properties is required for each satellite sensor. Most operational empirical algorithms in the global ocean have been developed based on the band-ratio approach, which has the disadvantage of being more adapted to the open ocean than to coastal areas. Alternative algorithms, including the semi-analytical approach, may complement the limits of band-ratio algorithms. As more sensors are planned by various space agencies to monitor the ocean surface, it is expected that continuous monitoring of oceanic ecosystems and environments should be conducted to contribute to the understanding of the oceanic biosphere and the impact of climate change. This study presents an overview of the past and present algorithms for the estimation of chl-a concentration based on multi-satellite data and also presents the prospects for ongoing and upcoming ocean color satellites.

한국해양연구원에서는 2008년으로 예정된 통신해양기상위성의 발사에 맞춰 해색센서 데이터의 수신, 처리, 배포를 위한 해양위성센터 구축을 진행하고 있다. 해양위성센터의 위치는 전파 수신 환경 등의 조건을 고려하여, 5곳의 후보지 중 안산으로 정하였다. 수신시스템은 안테나와 RF로 나뉘어지며, 안테나는 위성으로부터 L밴드로 전송되는 센서데이터를 수신하기 위하여 직경 9m의 카세그레인식 안테나(G/T: 1.67GHz에서 19.35$(dB/^{\circ}K)$)로 설계하였다 RF는 다시 LNA와 다운컨버터로 구성되며 수평편파만을 분리해 모뎀으로 전송하도록 설계하였다. 기존 건물은 센터의 운용개념에 맞도록 전산실, 수전실, 상황실, 자료 처리실 등으로 내부 구조 변경 설계가 완료되었다. H/W및 N/W는 데이터의 수신, 처리, 배포에 효율성을 고려하여 6가지 세부 시스템으로 나누어 설계되었다. 가장 중요한 자료 배포 시스템은 위성을 통한 LRIT 배포 시스템과 인터넷을 통한 자료배포 시스템으로 구성된다. 또한 수신된 데이터를 1시간 내에 제공하기 위해 웹호스팅 등 외부데이터 제공 시스템도 구축하는 것을 추진 예정이다.
