Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI) is a payload on the Korean Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) to perform global ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography. HOMPSAT was launched 21 December 1999. The radiometric performance of OSMI is analyzed for various gain settings in the viewpoint of the instrument developer for OSMI calibration and application based on its ground performance data measured before launch. The radiometric response linearity and dynamic range are analyzed and the dynamic range is compared with the nominal input radiance for the ocean and the land. The noise equivalent radiance (NER) corresponding to the instrument radiometric noise is compared with the radiometric resolution of signal digitization (1-count equivalent radiance). The best gain setting of OSMI for ocean monitoring is recommended. This analysis is considered to be useful for the OSMI mission and operation planning, the OSMI image data calibration, and users' understanding about OSMI image quality.

Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI) is a payload on the Korean Multi-purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) to perform worldwide ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography KOMPSAT will be launched in the middle of November this year. The radiometric performance of OSMI is analyzed for various gain settings in the viewpoint of the instrument developer for OSMI calibration and application based on its ground performance measurement data for 8 primary spectral bands of OSMI. The radiometric response linearity and dynamic range are analyzed for the image radiometric calibration and the estimation of OSMI image quality for the ocean remote sensing area. The dynamic range is compared with the nominal input radiance for the ocean and the land. The noise equivalent radiance (NER) corresponding to the instrument radiometric noise is compared with the radiometric resolution of signal digitization (1-count equivalent radiance). The best gain setting of OSMI for ocean monitoring is recommended. This analysis is considered to be useful for the OSMI mission and operation planning, the OSMI image data calibration, and users' understanding about OSMI image quality.

해양생물학 연구를 위해 전세계 바다색 관측을 수행하게 될 아리랑 1호 위성(Korean Multi-Purpose SATellite. KOMPSAT)의 탑재체 Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager(OSMI)를 개발하였다. OSMI는 관측폭 800km 이내에서 1km 이하의 지상해상도를 갖고 whisk-broom 주사 기법으로 해양표면의 영상을 얻는다. OSMI는 3년의 수명 동안 20%의 궤도 운영 duty cycle을 갖으며 궤도 운영 중 영상 자료의 gain/offset 조정이 가능하고 영상자료 저장 기능이 내장되도록 설계되었다. 궤도 운영 중 센서 보정을 위해 OSMI는 태양 보정과 암흑 보정을 수행한다. OSMI는 2차원 Charge Coupled Device(CCD) Focal Plane Array(FPA)를 사용하는 다중 분광 촬영기로서 400nm에서 900nm가지의 파장 대역에 대한 결상이 가능하다. 이 파장대역 중에서 궤도 운영 중 지상명령을 통해 선택되는 6개 분광 채널을 사용하여 해양표면이 관측된다. 센서 성능은 지상 특성 시험 단계에서 412, 443, 490, 510, 555, 670, 765 그리고 865nm의 8개 분광 대역에 대해 측정되었다. 이 지상 특성 시험 결과와 더불어 태양/암흑 보정이 궤도 분광 채널 선택 및 보정에 사용될 것이다. 운영중 분광 채널 선택 기능은 바다색 관측 및 해양생물학 연구에 큰 유연성을 줄 것이다.

Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI) is a payload on the KOMPSAT satellite to perform worldwide ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography. The instrument images the ocean surface using a wisk-broom motion with a swath width of 800 km and a ground sample distance (GSD) of<1km over the entire field of view (FOV). The instrument is designed to have an on-orbit operation duty cycle of 20% over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset and on-board image data compression/storage. The instrument also performs sun and dark calibration for on-board instrument calibration. The OSMI instrument is a multi-spectral imager covering the spectral range from 400nm to 900nm using CCD Focal Plane Array (FPA). The ocean colors are monitored using 6 spectral channels that can be selected via ground commands. KOMPSAT satellite with OSMI was integrated and the satellite level environment tests and instrument aliveness/functional test as well, such as launch environment, on-orbit environment (Thermal/vacuum) and EMl/EMC test were performed at KARI. Test results met the requirements and the OSMI data were collected and analyzed during each test phase. The instrument is launched on the KOMPSAT satellite in the late 1999 and the image is scheduled to start collecting ocean color data in the early 2000 upon completion of on-orbit instrument checkout.

Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI)는 다목적 실용위성 (KOMPSAT) 1호기 아리라위성에 탑재되어 1999년 12월 21일 발사된 해양 관측 기기이다. OSMI는 발사후 3년 이상 생물학적 해양지리학 연구를 위해 전세계 바다색을 관측하는 임무를 수행할 것이다. OSMI는 센서 성능의 궤도상 보정을 위해 태양광 보정과 암흑 보정을 수행한당. 태양광 보정은 궤도상에서 장기간에 걸친 해양 결상계의 노화에 따른 성능 변화 감지 및 보정에 있다. 발사 직후의 초기 태양과 보정 측정 자료는 추후 성능 변화 감지에 대한 기준이 될 뿐만아니라 발사 직후 OSMI 센서 성능 파악 및 점검에도 사용될 수 있으므로 매우 중요하다. 태양광 보정의 구조 및 광학적 특성을 분석하고 OSMI 주요 관측파 장대역별로 태양광 보정계의 출력신호량을 예측하였다. 초기 운영 기간동안 얻은 OSMI 태양광 보정계의 발사후 최초 측정 자료를 분석하고 발사전 예측 성능과 비교하였다. 이 연구는 OSMI 센서 보정 및 영상 품질 이해에 유용할 것이다.

To examine the detectability of the aerosol and/or Yellow dust from China crossing over the Yellow sea, three works carried out as follows , Firstly, a comparison was made of the visible(VIS), water vapor(WV), and Infrared(IR) images of the GMS-5 and NOAA/AVHRR on the cases of yellow sand event over Korea. Secondly, the spectral radiance and reflectance(%) was observed during the yellow sand phenomena on April, 1998 in Seoul using the GER-2600 spectroradiometer, which observed the reflected radiance from 350 to 2500 nm in the atmosphere. We selected the optimum wavelength for detecting of the yellow sand from this observation, considering the effects of atmospheric absorption. Finally, the atmospheric radiance emerging from the LOWTRAN-7 radiative transfer model was simulated with and without yellow sand, where we used the estimated aerosol column optical depth ($\tau$ 673 nm) in the Meteorological Research Institute and the d'Almeida's statistical atmospheric aerosol radiative characteristics. The image analysis showed that it was very difficult to detect the yellow sand region only by the image processing because the albedo characteristics of the sand vary irregularly according to the density, size, components and depth of the yellow sand clouds. We found that the 670-680 nm band was useful to simulate aerosol characteristics considering the absorption band from the radiance observation. We are now processing the simulation of atmospheric radiance distribution in the range of 400-900 nm. The purpose of this study is to present the preliminary results of the aerosol and/or Yellow dust detectability using the Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager(OSMI), which will be mounted on KOMPSAT-1 as the ocean color monitoring sensor with the range of 400-900 nm wavelength.

The ocean colors are monitored using 6 spectral channels that can be selected via ground commands after launch. The instrument performances are fully measured for 8 basic spectral bands centered at 412nm, 443nm, 490nm, 510nm, 555nm, 670nm, 765nm and 865nm during ground characterization of instrument. In addition to the ground calibration, the on-board calibration will also be used for the on-orbit band selection. The on-orbit band selection capability can provide great flexibility in ocean color monitoring.

Much effort has been made in the radiometric calibration of the ocean scanning multispectral imager (OSMI) since after the successful launch of KOMPSAT-1 in 1999. A series of calibration coefficients for OSMI detectors were obtained in collaboration with the NASA Sensor Intercomparison and Merger for Biological and Interdisciplinary (SIMBIOS) project office. In this study, we compare the OSMI level-2 products (e.g., chlorophyll-a concentration) calculated from the NASA cross-calibration coefficients with the SeaWiFS counterparts. Sample study areas are some of diagonostic data sites recommended by the SIMBIOS working group. We will present the preliminary results of this comparative study.

A series of calibration coefficients for OSMI detectors were obtained in collaboration with the NASA Sensor Intercomparison and Merger for Biological and Interdisciplinary (SIMBIOS) project office. In this study, we ompare the OSMI level-2 products (e.g., chorophyll-a concentration) calculated from the NASA cross-calibration coefficients with the SeaWiFS counterparts. Sample study areas are some of diagonostic data sites recommended by the SIMBIOS working group. Results of this study show that the OSMl-derived chlorophyll-a concentration agrees well with the SeaWiFS counterpart in Case 1 water; however, differences become larger in Case 2 water.
