The Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar) observation provides a specific knowledge of the temporal and vertical distribution and the optical properties of the aerosols. Unlike typical Mie scattering Lidars, which can measure backscattering and depolarization, the Raman Lidar can measure the quartz signal at the ultra violet (360 nm) and the visible (546 nm) wavelengths. In this work, we developed a method for estimating mineral quartz concentration immersed in Asian dust using Raman scattering of quartz (silicon dioxide, silica). During the Asian dust period of March 15, 16, and 21 in 2010, Raman lidar measurements detected the presence of quartz, and successfully showed the vertical profile of the dust concentrations. The satellite observations such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) confirmed spatial distribution of Asian dust. This approach will be useful for characterizing the quartz dominated in the atmospheric aerosols and the investigations of mineral dust. It will be especially applicable for distinguishing the dust and non-dust aerosols in studies on the mixing state of Asian aerosols. Additionally, the presented method combined with satellite observations is enable qualitative and quantitative monitoring for Asian dust.

인공위성을 이용한 강수관측은 전 지구적 규모에서 시공간적으로 균일한 강수정보를 지속적으로 제공할 수 있으며, 가뭄에 중요한 하나의 변수로서 가뭄정보를 제공할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 점차적으로 미계측지역 수문학적으로 활용성이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 인공위성 기반 강수관측자료는 지상관측 강우자료에 비해 시 공간해상도가 낮고, 관측 당시의 대기 상태, 관측기기, 시 공간적 대표성 문제 등에서 기인한 많은 불확실성을 포함하고 있다. 이러한 불확실성을 보완하기 위한 목적으로 미국 항공우주국 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration: NASA)는 GPM(Global Precipitation Measurement) 위성을 핵심위성으로 한 다중 위성자료를 이용하여 전지구적으로 30분 간격, 10 km 해상도의 GPM IMERG (Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM)를 생산 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다중 인공위성 추정 강수의 가뭄 활용성을 검토하기 위한 목적으로 GPM IMERG 위성 강우 자료(Early run, Late run, Final run)의 검증 및 평가를 수행하고자 하였으며, 각각의 자료들을 강수사례에 적용하여 10 km, 30분 해상도를 가지는 1.5km CAPPI (Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) 레이더 및 지상 강우자료와 비교 검증하였다.

가뭄은 가장 심각한 기상 재해 중 하나로 농업 생산, 사회경제 등 다양한 분야에 영향을 미친다. 국내의 경우 광주·전남지역이 1990년대 이후 30년 만에 제한 급수 위기에 처하는 역대 최악의 가뭄으로 지역민들은 심각한 피해가 발생하였다. 유럽의 경우 2022년 당시 500년 만에 찾아온 가뭄으로 인해 3분의 2에 해당하는 지역이 피해를 입었으며, 미국 서부 지역은 2000년부터 2021년까지 1200년 만에 가장 극심한 대가뭄을 겪은 것으로 나타났다. 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인해 가뭄의 빈도와 강도가 증가함에 따라 피해도 커질 것으로 예상된다. 가뭄의 부정적인 영향으로 인해 정확하고 신뢰할 수 있는 가뭄 예측 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄예측을 위한 입력변수로서 GPM IMERG (The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM) 강수량 자료와 NOAA에서 제공하는 8가지 북반구 대기패턴 자료 간의 상관성을 분석하였다. 입력변수 간의 상관성과 중장기 가뭄 예측을 위하여 딥러닝 모델 중 시계열 데이터에서 높은 예측 성능을 보이는 LSTM(Long Short Term-Memory)을 적용하여 가뭄을 예측하고자 한다.

Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs) that can be performed regardless of weather and day-and-night conditions have been developed for Earth remote sensing in recent decades. Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has developed and launched successfully the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellit-5 (KOMPSAT-5) which is the first Korean SAR satellite in 2013, and is currently developing the KOMPSAT-6 which is the next generation series of the SAR satellite. This paper describes the development of the system performance analysis simulator which is necessary for spaceborne SAR payload design and analysis. The system performance analysis simulator consists of the antenna pattern generation simulator, the SAR performance analysis simulator, and the image quality analysis simulator. The simulation results of this research show that this simulator can be applicable as the design and analysis tool for the spaceborne SAR payload system during the design phase.

This study analyzed the applications of near real-time drought monitoring using satellite rainfall for the Korean Peninsula and un-gaged basins. We used AWS data of Yongdam-Dam, Hoengseong-Dam in Korea area, the meteorological station of Nakhon Rachasima, Pak chong for test-bed to evaluate the validation and the opportunity for un-gaged basins. In addition, we calculated EDI (Effective doought index) using the stations and co-located PERSIANN-CDR, TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission) TMPA (The TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis), GPM IMERG (the integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM) rainfall data and compared the EDI-based station data with satellite data for applications of drought monitoring. The results showed that the correlation coefficient and the determination coefficient were 0.830 and 0.914 in Yongdam-dam, and 0.689 and 0.835 in Hoengseng-Dam respectively. Also, the correlation coefficient were 0.830, 0.914 from TRMM TMPA datasets and compasion with 0.660, 0.660 based on PERSIANN-CDR and TRMM data in nakhon and pakchong station. Our results were confirmed possibility of near real-time drought monitoring using EDI with daily satellite rainfall for un-gaged basins.

In this study, the GPM (Global Precipitation Mission) IMERG (Integrated Multi-satellitE retrievals for GPM) rainfall data was verified and evaluated using ground AWS (Automated Weather Station) and radar in order to investigate the availability of GPM IMERG rainfall data. The SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) was calculated based on the GPM IMERG data and also compared with the results obtained from the ground observation data for the Hoengseong Dam and Yongdam Dam areas. For the radar data, 1.5 km CAPPI rainfall data with a resolution of 10 km and 30 minutes was generated by applying the Z-R relationship ($Z=200R^{1.6}$) and used for accuracy verification. In order to calculate the SPI, PERSIANN_CDR and TRMM 3B42 were used for the period prior to the GPM IMERG data availability range. As a result of latency verification, it was confirmed that the performance is relatively higher than that of the early run mode in the late run mode. The GPM IMERG rainfall data has a high accuracy for 20 mm/h or more rainfall as a result of the comparison with the ground rainfall data. The analysis of the time scale of the SPI based on GPM IMERG and changes in normal annual precipitation adequately showed the effect of short term rainfall cases on local drought relief. In addition, the correlation coefficient and the determination coefficient were 0.83, 0.914, 0.689 and 0.835, respectively, between the SPI based GPM IMERG and the ground observation data. Therefore, it can be used as a predictive factor through the time series prediction model. We confirmed the hydrological utilization and the possibility of real time drought monitoring using SPI based on GPM IMERG rainfall, even though results presented in this study were limited to some rainfall cases.

Korean fir (Abies koreana Wilson) is one of the most important environmental indicator tree species for assessing climate change impacts on coniferous forests in the Korean Peninsula. However, due to the nature of alpine and subalpine regions, it is difficult to conduct regular field surveys of Korean fir, which is mainly distributed in regions with altitudes greater than 1,000 m. Therefore, this study analyzed the vegetation change trend of Korean fir using regularly observed remote sensing data. Specifically, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), land surface temperature (LST), and precipitation data from Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievalsfor GPM from September 2003 to 2020 for Hallasan and Jirisan were used to analyze vegetation changes and their association with environmental variables. We identified a decrease in NDVI in 2020 compared to 2003 for both sites. Based on the NDVI difference maps, areas for healthy vegetation and high mortality of Korean fir were selected. Long-term NDVI time-series analysis demonstrated that both Hallasan and Jirisan had a decrease in NDVI at the high mortality areas (Hallasan: -0.46, Jirisan: -0.43). Furthermore, when analyzing the long-term fluctuations of Korean fir vegetation through the Hodrick-Prescott filter-applied NDVI, LST, and precipitation, the NDVI difference between the Korean fir healthy vegetation and high mortality sitesincreased with the increasing LST and decreasing precipitation in Hallasan. Thissuggests that the increase in LST and the decrease in precipitation contribute to the decline of Korean fir in Hallasan. In contrast, Jirisan confirmed a long-term trend of declining NDVI in the areas of Korean fir mortality but did not find a significant correlation between the changes in NDVI and environmental variables (LST and precipitation). Further analyses of environmental factors, such as soil moisture, insolation, and wind that have been identified to be related to Korean fir habitats in previous studies should be conducted. This study demonstrated the feasibility of using satellite data for long-term monitoring of Korean fir ecosystems and investigating their changes in conjunction with environmental conditions. Thisstudy provided the potential forsatellite-based monitoring to improve our understanding of the ecology of Korean fir.
