  • 해양현상을 이해하기 위한 관측분야의 노력 중에서 해류 정보의 생산은 가장 어려운 작업 중의 하나이다. 이를 극복하기 위한 대안으로서 연속 화상 자료로부터 해류벡터를 추정하려는 많은 연구들이 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 주변의 SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) chlorophyll-a 해색 자료와 AVHRR/SST 를 이용하여 연속 화상 사이의 유사한 형태를 추적하는 최대상 관계수법을 사용한 표층 유속 벡터의 추정을 시도하였다. 한국의 남해역에서 적용한 유속 벡터 결과는 해면 고도계를 이용한 지형류, ADCP 관측 결과와 비교하여 유속은 약 15% 정도 작고, 유향은 약 $36^{\circ}$의 차이로 근접하여 기존 연구 결과에 비해 양호하게 나타났다. 이는 향후 GOCI 자료의 응용적 측면에서 매우 고무적이다.

  • 복사전달모델과 KOMPSAT-1/OSMI 자료를 이용하여 황사함지 가능성을 조사하였다. 그리고 황사탐지를 위한 OSMI의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 OSMI와 SeaWiFS의 자료를 이용하여 공간 분광분석과 채널별 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하고, 또한 에어로솔 광학두께를 상호 비교하였다. OSMI와 SeaWiFS 자료를 이용한 x축 방향의 분광분석 결과, 865nm에서 분광특성이 비슷함을 알 수 있었고, 채널별 스펙트럼 분석에서는 765nm과 865nm에서 SeaWiFS의 결과와 비슷하여 이 밴드에서의 OSMI 자료의 활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이들 밴드를 이용하여 산출한 OSMI의 황사탐지 화상은 MODIS에서 얻어진 화상과 비슷함을 알 수 있었다. 황사 때의 광학두께는 약 0.8~l.0으로 나타났다.

  • Yellow sand event has been studied using SeaWiFS data in order to examine the aerosol optical characteristics in the Yellow Sea and their influences on the atmospheric correction for the ocean color remote sensing. Two SeaWiFS images of April 18 and April 25, 1998, representing Yellow Sand event and clear-sky case respectively, are selected for emphasizing the impact of high aerosol concentration on the ocean color remote sensing. It was shown that NASA's standard atmospheric correction algorithm treats yellow sand area as either too high radiance or cloud area, in which ocean color information is not generated. SeaWiFS aerosol optical thickness is compared with nearby ground-based sun photometer measurements and also is compared with radiative transfer simulation in conjunction with yellow sand model, examining the performance of NASA's atmospheric correction algorithm in case of the heavy dust event.

  • The paper first proposes an empirical algorithm for detecting dust-loaded airmass observed by Sea Wide Field-of-view Scanner (SeaWiFS). The proposed dust index formula is based on the curvature of the spectral reflectance estimated from the SeaWiFS band 4 (510 nm band) through band 8 (865 nm band) data, assuming "clear ocean water" reflectance. Evaluation of the algorithm is made over several typical Asian dust images including the ones over the Pacific in April, 1998, when a major dust event was reported. The study analyzes the performance and the characteristics of the algorithm by comparing the satellite-derived dust index images with contemporaneous columnar concentration of dust particles predicted by a numerical dust transport model. The comparison reveals several small-scale differences although their dust distribution patterns show good agreement generally.

  • Monthly-mean aerosol parameters derived from the 1998-2004 SeaWiFS observations over East Asian waters are analyzed. SeaWiFS GAC Level 1 data covering the Northeast Asian area are collected and processed by the standard atmospheric correction algorithm released by the SeaWiFS Project to produce daily aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and ${{\AA}}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m$ exponent imageries. Monthly mean AOT and ${{\AA}}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m$ exponent values are extracted from the daily composite images for six study areas chosen from the surrounding waters of Japan. A slight increasing trend of ${{\AA}}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m$ exponent is found and interpreted as about 4-5% increase in submicron fraction of aerosol optical thickness at 550nm. Two cloud screening methods, including the standard cloud masking method of SeaWiFS and the one based on the local variance method, are applied to the SeaWiFS data processing, in an attempt to inspect the influence to the observed statistical uptrend which probably induced by different cloud mask algorithms. The variability comes from the different cloud masking algorithms are discussed.

  • 2000년 7월 5일 한국 동남연안을 촬영한 SAR 영상에서 해안을 따라 나타난 낮은 후방산란 해역의 원인을 고찰 하였다. 이 해역은 여름철에 자주 표층 냉수가 관측되는 해역으로 인접한 시기의 SST 영상과 SeaWiFS 영상에서도 거의 동일한 해역에서 각각 낮은 표층 수온과 높은 농도의 엽록소 a의 분포를 보였다. 복수의 위성 센서 영상을 공동으로 활용한 결과 영양염이 풍부한 저층 냉수가 표층으로 용승 하여 식물플랑크톤을 비롯한 생물 활동을 증가시켰을 가능성을 보여주고 있으며, 높은 밀도의 생물 활동으로 인한 물질들이 생성한 표층 유막으로 인하여 SAR 영상에서 낮은 후방산란을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 인공위성 해색센서 SeaWiFS (Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor)에서 관측한 영상을 이용하여 한반도 주변 식물플랑크톤 색소농도의 시공간적 분포 특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 동해에서 식물플랑크톤 색소농도는 봄철과 가을철에 공간적으로 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 색소농도는 봄철인 4월에 동해 극전선 남부해역에서 가장 높고, 5월에는 극전선 북쪽해역에서 높은 농도가 나타났다. 하계는 거의 저농도를 나타내고 동계가 하계보다 공간적으로 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 그리고 한국 동해안을 따른 warm streamer주변과 서해와 남해연안의 연안선을 따라서 연중 높은 농도가 존재하였다 특히, 여름철 8월부터 12월까지 중국 양쯔강 주린 높은 색소농도가 남해연안 주변까지 연결된 형태로 나타난 것이 특징적이었다.

  • The purpose of this study is to describe the change of the spring bloom and oceanographic condition. The variation of pigment concentration derived from the satellite ocean color data has been analyzed. According to the movement of blooming area, blooming was very concerned with a rising trend of sea surface temperature and a supply of nutrients. A nutrient rich water carried by the Oyashio encounters with the warm Core ring, where mixings and blooms are observed. We examined the correlation by using the satellite observations of the temperature and chlorophyll-a for the spring seasons (May, June, July) of 1998 the off Sanriku area (38-43N, 141- l50E). Using the SeaWiFS data, we process the data into the level-3, which contains the geophysical value of chlorophyll-a. And chlorophyll-a data is mapped for the water between 110E and 160E, and 15N and 52N with a 0.08 * 0.05 degree grid for each image. And Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data is produced using the AVHRR onboard the NOAA. The SST is derived by the MCSST. Then, the data is mapped for the water as much as chi-a data. And these gridded image was made by detection of each water masses, which are Kuroshio Extension, the warm-core ring and the Oyashlo Intrusion, etc., using those satellite images to determine short term change. Off Sanriku is a place where warm-water pool and the Oyashio at-e mixed. When warm streamer has intruded in cold water, the volume of phytoplankton increases at the tip of warm streamer. Warm water streamer was trigger of occurring blooming. And also, SeaWiFS images provided as much information for the studies of chlorophyll-a concentrations in the surface.

  • The large amount of smoke produced near Lake Baikal was transported to Northeast Asia with high AOT (Aerosol Optical Thickness) as seen in satellite images. Aerosol retrieval using a separation technique was applied to MODIS (Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer) and SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) data observed during 14-22 May 2003. Large AOT, 2.0~5.0 was observed on 20 May 2003 over Korea due to the influence of the long range transport of smoke aerosol plume from the Russian fires, resulting in high PM10 concentration was observed at the surface.

  • Satellite remote sensing technology for ocean observation has evolved considerably in these last twenty years. Ocean color is one of the most important parameters of ocean satellite measurements. This paper describes a remote sensing of ocean color data project - Asian I-Lac Project; it also introduces several case studies using satellite images in the Asian waters. The Asian waters are related to about 30 Asian countries, representing about 60% of the world population. The project aims at generating long-term time series images (planned for 10 years from 1996 to 2006) by combining several ocean color satellite data, i.e., ADEOS-I OCTS and SeaWiFS, and some other sensors. Some typical parameters that could be measured include Chlorophyll- a (Chl-a), Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM), and Suspended Material (SSM). Reprocessed OCTS images display spatial variation of Chl-a, CDOM, and SSM in the Asian waters; a short term variability of phytoplankton blooms was observed in the Gulf of Oman in November 1996 by analyzing OCTS and NOAA sea surface temperature (SST); Chl-a concentrations derived from OCTS and SeaWiFS have also been evaluated in coastal areas of the Taiwan Strait, the Gulf of Thailand, the northeast Arabian Sea, and the Japan Sea. The data system provides scientists with capability of testing or developing ocean color algorithms, and transferring images for their research. We have also analyzed availability of OCTS images. The results demonstrate the potential of long-term time series of satellite ocean color data for research in marine biology, and ocean studies. The case studies show multiple applications of satellite images on monitoring of coastal environments in the Asian Waters.
