This study measured temperatures and albedos of urban surfaces for different colors and materials during summer, and calculated the energy budget over different urban surfaces to find out the thermal performance affecting the heat built-up. The study selected six surface colors and 13 materials common in urban landscape. Their surface temperatures (Ts) and albedos were measured at a given time interval in the daytime from June to August. Average Ts over summer season for asphalt-colored brick was $4.0^{\circ}C$ higher than that for light red-colored one and $9.7^{\circ}C$ higher than that for white-colored one. The Ts for artificial surface materials of asphalt paving, brown brick wall, and green concrete wall was $6.0^{\circ}C$ higher than that for natural and semi-natural ones of grass, grassy block, and planted concrete wall. There was the greatest difference of $16.3^{\circ}C$ at midafternoon in the Ts between asphalt paving and planted concrete wall. Average albedo over summer season of surface materials ranged from 0.08 for asphalt paving to 0.67 for white concrete wall. This difference in the albedo was associated with a maximum of $15.7^{\circ}C$ difference at midafternoon in the Ts. Increasing the albedo by 0.1 (from 0.22 to 0.32) reduced the Ts by about $1.3^{\circ}C$. Average storage heat at midday by natural and semi-natural surfaces of grass and grassy block was about 10% lower than that by artificial ones of asphalt, light-red brick, and concrete. Reflected radiation, which ultimately contributes to heating the urban atmosphere, was 3.7 times greater for light-red brick and concrete surfaces than for asphalt surface. Thus, surfaces with in-between tone and color are more effective than dark- or white-colored ones, and natural or semi-natural surfaces are much greater than artificial ones in improving the urban thermal environment. This study provides new information on correlation between Ts and air temperature, relationship between albedo and Ts, and the energy budget.

Recently environmental regulations like the Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, required the 5.2% reduction of the greenhouse gas emission in 1990. And 13th General Assembly in 2007, held in Bali of India, have agreed to duty reduction even in developing countries in 2013. Korean government needs the researches on climate change and the strategic programs for greenhouse gas reduction. In this paper Colorado State University Mesoscale Model(CSU-MM) was applied to simulate the relationship between surface albedo and air temperature. Meteorological model simulation in region of Ansan-City, Shiheung-City showed that mean air temperature became lower with the increase of albedo value. Simulated air temperature became lower $-0.16^{\circ}C$ and $-0.66^{\circ}C$ by 5% and 20% increase of albedo values respectively. And cooling energy saving amount in air conditioning process was calculated according to lowered air temperature. The reduction of air temperature resulted the reduction of air conditioning energy in personal house and commercial buildings. The increase of albedo from 5% to 20% resulted the reduction of air conditioning energy from 44,493 MWh/yr to 183,796 MWh/yr. Additionally the reduction of greenhouse gas emission through the energy saving was calculated after IPCC guideline. In terms of greenhouse gas emission $CO_2$ was reduced form -30,414 ton-$CO_2$/yr to -125,638 ton-$CO_2$/yr according to the reduction of electric energy.

We derive the geometric albedo of a near-Earth asteroid, (4179) Toutatis, to investigate its surface physical conditions. The asteroid has been studied rigorously not only via ground-based photometric, spectrometric, polarimetric, and radar observations but also via in situ observation by the Chinese Chang'e-2 space probe; however, its geometric albedo is not well understood. We conducted V-band photometric observations when the asteroid was at opposition in April 2018 using the three telescopes in the southern hemisphere that compose the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). The observed time-variable cross section was corrected using the radar shape model. We find that Toutatis has a geometric albedo $p_V=0.185^{+0.045}_{-0.039}$, which is typical of S-type asteroids. We compare the geometric albedo with archival polarimetric data and further find that the polarimetric slope-albedo law provides a reliable estimate for the albedo of this S-type asteroid. The thermal infrared observation also produced similar results if the size of the asteroid is updated to match the results from Chang'e-2. We conjecture that the surface of Toutatis is covered with grains smaller than that of the near-Sun asteroids including (1566) Icarus and (3200) Phaethon.

This study aims to measure and to analyze the characteristics of thermal environment of the various permeable pavement materials such as a break stone pavement (Green block cubic), soil protection pavement (Soil tector), soil cement pavement and ceramic brick pavement under the summer outdoor environment. The thermal environment characteristics measured in the study includes the changes of surface temperature during the day, and long and short wave radiation of each pavement surface. The experimental condition is based on the data on the hottest temperature (August 9, 2006, $37.1^{\circ}C$) of the year. The albedo was the highest on the break stone pavement(0.8) from 12:00 to 14:00. The albedo of the ceramic brick pavement, a soil tector pavement and soil cement pavement were 0.35, 0.29 and 0.27 from 12:00 to 14:00, respectively. The peak surface temperature and long wave radiation was the highest on the soil protection pavements($56.6^{\circ}C$/627 W/$m^2$). The peak surface temperatures and long wave radiation on the ceramic brick pavement, a stone brick pavement and soil cement pavement were $51.7^{\circ}C$/627 W/$m^2$, $48.8^{\circ}C$/607 W/$m^2$ and $45.9^{\circ}C$/582 W/$m^2$, respectively. The heat environment was better on the break stone pavement than on the other pavements. This is mainly due to the high albedo of the break stone pavement(0.8) while the albedo value of a ceramic brick pavement, a soil tactor pavement and soil cement pavement were 0.35. 0.29 and 0.27. Large heat capacity($2,629kJ/m^3{\cdot}K$) of the stone brick pavements also contributes to this difference. The heat environment was better on the soil cement pavement than the soil tector pavement. This is mainly due to the evaporation of the soil cement pavement while the active evaporation of the soil tactor pavement was not continued after two days from the rainfall event. To improve the thermal environments in the urban area, it is recommended to raise the albedo of the pavements by brightening the surface color of the pavement materials. Further studies on the pavement materials and the construction methods which can enhance the continuous evapotranspiration from the pavements surface are needed.

본 연구의 목적은 위성영상을 이용해 시공간 증발산량을 모의할 수 있는 증발산량 산정 모형을 구축하고, 플럭스 타워 실측 증발산량과 비교를 통해 적용성을 평가하는데 있다. 증발산량 산정 모형은 SEBAL(Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land)을 구축하였으며, 모형 내 일부 알고리즘을 수정하여 적용하였다. SEBAL 모형의 위성 입력 자료로는 2개년(2012-2013)의 MODIS Normal Distribution Vegetation Index(NDVI), Albedo, Land Surface Temperature(LST) 영상을 500m의 공간해상도로 구축하였으며, 유역주변 기상청 기상관측소(5개 지점)의 풍속, 풍속측정높이, 일사량 자료를 내삽(Interpolation)하여 활용하였다. 모형의 적용성 평가를 위하여 금강유역의 용담댐을 대상으로 공간 증발산량을 산정하여 유역 내에 위치한 덕유산 플럭스 타워의 산림 증발산량과 비교분석하였다. 모형 매개변수 중 Albedo와 NDVI, 지표 거칠기(Surface roughness) 순으로 민감한 것으로 분석되었으며, 모형의 보정을 위해 최종적으로 Albedo와 NDVI는 월별 평균값을 적용하였다. 모의 기간 동안의 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.45이었다. SEBAL 모형은 특히 지형적 특성을 반영하므로 유역내에서 고지대에 비해 저지대에서 증발산량이 높게 산정되는 경향을 보였다.

This study aims to measure and to analyze the thermal environment characteristics of the various permeable pavement materials such as grass pavement (GREEN BLOCK PARK), stone and grass pavement (GREEN BLOCK STEP), stone pavement (GREEN BLOCK MOSAIC) and wood pavement (WOOD BLOCK) under the summer outdoor environment. The thermal environment characteristics measured in the study includes the changes of surface temperature during the day, changes of the temperature on each pavement layer, and long and short wave radiation of each pavement surface. The experimental condition is based on the data on the hottest temperature (August 5, 2005, $34.0^{\circ}C$) of the you. Some of main findings are: 1) The heat environment was worse on the wood pavements than on the stone pavement. This is mainly due to the low albedo of the wood pavements (0.37) while the albedo value of stone pavements is 0.41. Small heat capacity of the wood pavements also contributes to this difference. 2) The heat environment was worse on the stone pavements than on the turf pavements. This was mainly due to the evapotranspiration of the plant growth layer of the turf pavements. 3) The peak surface temperature was the highest on the wood pavements ($56.1^{\circ}C$). The peak surface temperatures on the stone pavements, the stone-grass pavements and the grass pavements were $43.1^{\circ}C,\;40.1^{\circ}C\;and\;37.9^{\circ}C$, respectively. 4) To improve the thermal environments in the urban area, it is recommended to raise the albedo of the pavements by brightening the surface color of the pavement materials. Further studies on the pavement materials and the construction methods which can enhance the continuous evapotranspiration from the pavements surface are needed.

도심지 빌딩에 의한 그림자가 대기경계층에 미치는 영향을 파악하기위하여 위성자료 분석과 수치실험을 실시하였다. 연구에 사용된 위성은 한국다목적위성(KOMSAT-2)의 가시자료이며, 수치모형은 다중반사도 계산을 위한 반사도 계산모형과 지표면 열수지를 계산하기 위한 오레건주립대학교 경계층 모형의 2가지이다. 위성자료 분석에서 고층빌딩이 밀집한 지역은 그렇지 못한 지역에 비하여 반사도가 최대 17% 낮게 산정되었다. 이는 건물의 그림자가 원인으로 작용한다. 그리고 반사도의 일변화는 태양고도에 따라 다르며, 정오에 가장 작은 값을 나타낸다. 건물 밀도가 높은 경우 지표면 온도가 $43.5^{\circ}C$까지 상승하는데 비하여 건물 밀도가 낮은 지역의 경우 지표면 온도는 $37.4^{\circ}C$까지 상승한다. 그러나 높은 빌딩에 따른 기계적 난류에 의하여 반사도에 의한 온도상승이 직접적으로 대기온도상승과 연결되지는 않는다.

In order to clarify the impact of anti-heat insulation pavement on the thermal structure of atmospheric boundary layer, field experiments and numerical simulations were carried out. Field experiment with various pavements were also conducted for 24 hours from 09LST 19 June 2007. And numerical experiment mainly focused on the impact of albedo variation, which is strongly associated with thermal characteristics of insulated pavement materials, on the temporal variation of planterly boundary layer. Numerical model used in this study is one dimension model with Planterly Boundary Layer developed by Oregon State University (OSUPBL). Because anti-heat insulation pavement material shows higher albedo value, not only maximum surface temperature but also maximum surface air temperature on anti-heat insulation pavement is lower than that on asphalt. The maximum value of surface temperature only reach on $49.5^{\circ}C$. As results of numerical simulations, surface sensible heat flux and the height of mixing layer are also influenced by the values of albedo. Therefore the characteristics of urban surface material and its impact on atmosphere should be clarified before the urban planning including improvement of urban heat environment and air quality.

Sea ice is a key parameter for understanding the climate change in cryosphere. In this study, we investigated the correlation with the factors that influenced change of the sea ice extent. We used the Sea Ice Concentration (SIC) from Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI-SAF), and surface albedo provided by The Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF). We converted the same temporal and spatial resolution of the data and detected the sea ice using SIC data. We performed the relationship analysis between SIC and sea ice albedo. As a result, we found they have a strong positive correlation. We performed the linear regression between SIC and sea ice albedo, and found they have high-level coefficient of determination. It shows using either SIC or sea ice albedo is possible to estimate the sea ice products.

장기간에 걸친 전 지구적인 위성관측 지표면 알베도 자료는 전 지구 기후 및 환경의 변화 감시에 활발히 이용되고 있으며 그 활용도와 중요성이 크다. 우리나라의 경우 정지궤도위성 천리안위성 1호(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite, COMS) MI(Meteorological Imager) 센서와 천리안위성 2A호(GEO-KOMPSAT-2A, GK-2A) AMI (Advanced Meteorological Imager) 센서의 세대교체를 통해 지속적인 지표면 알베도 산출물의 확보가 가능하다. 그러나 COMS/MI 및 GK-2A/AMI의 지표면 알베도 산출물은 센서 및 알고리즘의 차이로 인해 산출물 간의 차이가 존재한다. 따라서 COMS/MI와 GK-2A/AMI 지표면 알베도 산출 기간을 확장하고 지속적인 기후변화 감시 연계성 확보를 위해 두 위성 산출물 간의 오차 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 COMS/MI 및 GK-2A/AMI 지표면 알베도 자료의 중복기간을 대상으로 지상관측자료 AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network)와 타 위성자료 GLASS (Global Land Surface Satellite)와 함께 비교 분석하였다. 오차 분석 결과 AERONET과의 검증에서 COMS/MI의 평균 제곱근 오차(Root Mean Square Error, RMSE)가 0.043로 GK-2A/AMI의 RMSE인 0.015보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 GLASS와 비교하였을 때 COMS/MI의 RMSE는 0.029로 GK-2A/AMI의 0.038보다 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 오차특성을 이해하고 COMS/MI 및 GK-2A/AMI의 지표면 알베도 자료를 사용할 때 장기간 기후변화 감시에 적극적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
