Atmospheric correction of Landsat Visible and Near Infrared imagery (VIS/NIR) over aquatic environment is more demanding than over land because the signal from the water column is small and it carries immense information about biogeochemical variables in the ocean. This paper introduces two methods, a modified dark-pixel substraction technique (path--extraction) and our spectral shape matching method (SSMM), for the correction of the atmospheric effects in the Landsat VIS/NIR imagery in relation to the retrieval of meaningful information about the ocean color, especially from Case-2 waters (Morel and Prieur, 1977) around Korean peninsula. The results of these methods are compared with the classical atmospheric correction approaches based on the 6S radiative transfer model and standard SeaWiFS atmospheric algorithm. The atmospheric correction scheme using 6S radiative transfer code assumes a standard atmosphere with constant aerosol loading and a uniform, Lambertian surface, while the path-extraction assumes that the total radiance (L/sub TOA/) of a pixel of the black ocean (referred by Antoine and Morel, 1999) in a given image is considered as the path signal, which remains constant over, at least, the sub scene of Landsat VIS/NIR imagery. The assumption of SSMM is nearly similar, but it extracts the path signal from the L/sub TOA/ by matching-up the in-situ data of water-leaving radiance, for typical clear and turbid waters, and extrapolate it to be the spatially homogeneous contribution of the scattered signal after complex interaction of light with atmospheric aerosols and Raleigh particles, and direct reflection of light on the sea surface. The overall shape and magnitude of radiance or reflectance spectra of the atmospherically corrected Landsat VIS/NIR imagery by SSMM appears to have good agreement with the in-situ spectra collected for clear and turbid waters, while path-extraction over turbid waters though often reproduces in-situ spectra, but yields significant errors for clear waters due to the invalid assumption of zero water-leaving radiance for the black ocean pixels. Because of the standard atmosphere with constant aerosols and models adopted in 6S radiative transfer code, a large error is possible between the retrieved and in-situ spectra. The efficiency of spectral shape matching has also been explored, using SeaWiFS imagery for turbid waters and compared with that of the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm, which falls in highly turbid waters, due to the assumption that values of water-leaving radiance in the two NIR bands are negligible to enable retrieval of aerosol reflectance in the correction of ocean color imagery. Validation suggests that accurate the retrieval of water-leaving radiance is not feasible with the invalid assumption of the classical algorithms, but is feasible with SSMM.

Several planktonic dinoflagellates, including Cochlodinium polykrikoides (p), are known to produce red tides responsible for massive fish kills and serious economic loss in turbid Northwest Pacific (Korean and neighboring) coastal waters during summer and fall seasons. In order to mitigate the impacts of these red tides, it is therefore very essential to detect, monitor and forecast their development and movement using currently available remote sensing technology because traditional ship-based field sampling and analysis are very limited in both space and temporal frequency. Satellite ocean color sensors, such as Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), are ideal instruments for detecting and monitoring these blooms because they provide relatively high frequency synoptic information over large areas. Thus, the present study attempts to evaluate the red tide index methods (previously developed by Ahn and Shanmugam et al., 2006) to identify potential areas of red tides from SeaWiFS imagery in Korean and neighboring waters. Findings revealed that the standard spectral ratio algorithms (OC4 and LCA) applied to SeaWiFS imagery yielded large errors in Chl retrievals for coastal areas, besides providing false information about the encountered red tides in the focused waters. On the contrary, the RI coupled with the standard spectral ratios yielded comprehensive information about various ranges of algal blooms, while RCA Chl showing a good agreement with in-situ data led to enhanced understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of the recent red tide occurrences in high scattering and absorbing waters off the Korean and Chinese coasts. The results suggest that the red tide index methods for the early detection of red tides blooms can provide state managers with accurate identification of the extent and location of blooms as a management tool.

In this study we developed a turbidity management system to support the operation for effective turbid water management. The decision-making system includes various models for prediction of turbid water inflow, effective reservoir operation using the selective withdrawal facility, analysis of turbid water discharge in the downstream. The system is supported by the intensive monitoring devices installed in the upstream rivers, reservoirs, and downstream rivers. SWAT and HSPF models were constructed to predict turbid water flows in the Imha and Andong catchments. CE-QUAL-W2 models were constructed for turbid water behavior prediction, and various analyses were conducted to examine the effects of the selective withdrawal operation for efficient high turbid water discharge, turbid water distribution under differing amount and locations of turbid water discharge. A 1-dimensional dynamic water quality model was built using Ko-Riv1 for simulation of turbidity propagation in the downstream of the reservoirs, and 2-dimensional models were developed to investigate the mixing phenomena of two waters discharged from the Andong and Imha reservoirs with different temperature and turbidity conditions during joint dam operation for reducing the impacts of turbid water.

천리안 위성 해양탑재체(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager, GOCI) 대기보정의 근간이 되는 Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor(SeaWiFS) 초기 대기보정 기법은 근적외선 파장대의 해수 반사도를 0으로 가정한다. 이러한 가정에 근거하여 근적외선 파장에서 탐지되는 모든 신호는 에어로졸 산란에 의한 반사도로 간주된다. 그러나 이러한 가정은 탁한 해역에서 해수 반사도를 과소 추정하는 문제점을 야기시킨다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 Management Unit of the North Sea Mathematical Models(MUMM) 대기보정 알고리즘이 개발되었다. 이 알고리즘은 근적외선 파장에서 탐지되는 해수 반사도 비율인 ${\alpha}$를 도입하였다. ${\alpha}$는 통계적 방법에 의하여 결정되며 영상 내의 모든 픽셀에 고정적인 값으로 사용된다. 이 알고리즘은 근적외선 해수 반사도가 0.01보다 작은 중간 탁도의 해역에서는 잘 맞는 반면 매우 탁한 해역에서는 ${\alpha}$가 탁도에 따라 변하기 때문에 오차율이 다시 증가한다. 본 연구에서는 매우 탁한 해역 해수 반사도의 정확도를 향상시키고자 ${\alpha}$를 고정하지 않고, 반복계산을 통해 탁도에 적합한 ${\alpha}$를 계산하도록 MUMM 알고리즘을 수정 보완하였다. 그 결과 MUMM 알고리즘의 모든 밴드의 평균 Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)는 0.0048인 반면 수정된 MUMM 알고리즘은 0.002로 개선된 결과를 얻었다.

Various methods to detect the phytoplankton/red tide blooms in the oceanic waters have been developed and tested on satellite ocean color imagery since the last two and half decades, but accurate detection of blooms with these methods remains challenging in optically complex turbid waters, mainly because of the eventual interference of absorbing and scattering properties of dissolved organic and particulate inorganic matters with these methods. The present study introduces a new method called Red tide Index (Rl), providing indices which behave as a good measure of detecting red tide algal blooms in high scattering and absorbing waters of the Korean South Sea and Yellow Sea. The effectiveness of this method in identifying and locating red tides is compared with the standard Ocean Chlorophyll 4 (OC4) bio-optical algorithm applied to SeaWiFS ocean imagery, acquired during two bloom episodes on 27 March 2002 and 28 September 2003. The result revealed that OC4 bio-optical algorithm falsely identifies red tide blooms in areas abundance in colored dissolved organic and particulate inorganic matter constituents associated with coastal areas, estuaries and river mouths, whereas red tide index provides improved capability of detecting, predicting and monitoring of these blooms in both clear and turbid waters.

조하대 해조군집은 뚜렷하지는 않지만 상${\cdot}$중${\cdot}$하부로 구분되었다. 상부는 S. saganmianum, P. lanceolata, G. tenella, P. capillacea 등의 직립분기형으로 구성되었고, 투명도가 높은 지역에서는 수심 $3{\sim}5$까지이며, 탁도의 간섭에 의해 확장될 수 있었다. 중부는 투명도가 높은 외양역에서만 형성되었고, 그 범위는 $5{\sim}20m$ 사이이며, E. cava, Sargassum spp. 등의 대형갈조류에 의해 대표되며, 탁도가 높은 외양역에서는 상부에서 하부로 바로 이행하였다. 하부는 투명도가 높은 외양역은 중부와 이질적인 식생으로 보기 어렵고, 환경압박에 따른 양적인 차이로서 이해되었다. 출현종의 식물지리적 분포를 볼 때 본 조사지를 2 구역으로 나눌 수 있었다. 문섬의 구성종이 지리적 불연속을 이루는 것은 수온차에 의한다고 판단되었다. 문섬의 식생특성은 출현종수는 내만역의 도서보다 적으나 고유종이 많고, 다육질형 대형갈조류의 구성비가 높고, 종다양도 및 생체량은 거문도, 여서도 등과 유사하였다. 문섬을 제외한 9개 섬은 식생의 연속성을 나타내지만, 풍도의 차이가 있었다. 이중 관탈도, 여서도, 거문도, 추자도, 홍도는 투명도가 높은 외양역에 위치하며, 식생의 풍도가 유사하여 외양성 식생구로 뚜렷히 구분할 수 있었다. 반면 만재도, 소리도, 욕지도, 비진도는 비교적 고탁도대 내측에 위치하여 외양도서에 비해 풍도가 낮게 나타났으나, 분류군의 구성비로 볼 때 외양성 식생구의 성격을 띄고 있는 이행단계의 식생구라고 판단되었다. 그리고 이러한 식생의 구분에 있어서 탁도에 따른 조하대 E. cava 군락의 유무가 매우 중요함을 시사하였다.

Concentrations of suspended particulate matters (SPM) and their distribution patterns were monitored three times in the East China Sea during the winter season in 1998 and 1999. SPM concentrations showed significant temporal variations controlled by the atmospheric conditions and sea states. In coastal area, SPM values were about 10-20 mg/l in fair weather conditions, but exceeded 100mg/l during the storm periods. Turbid waters were distributed widespread in the continental shelf of the East China Sea and the coastal area of the Korean Peninsula, and these two areas were connected along a NE-SW direction. The distribution patterns of turbid waters were interpreted as representing the transport behavior of suspended matter. Although the primary source of inner shelf mud deposits of Korea seems to be the Korean Peninsula, contribution from the East China Sea to the coastal area of Korea increases especially during the winter season.

As an example of many possible applications of OSMI data, we present a method to detect red tides. In Korean waters, red tides usually occur in the South Sea where the turbidity is usually high due to strong tidal mixing in the shallow sea. The conventional case 1 chlorophyll algorithm cannot be applied since it cannot distinguish chlorophyll from SS (suspended sediments). In October 1998, a red tide outbreak occurred off the coast of KunSan. We analyzed the SeaWiFS data of the outbreak. The standard SeaWiFS chlorophyll algorithm OC-2 was poor in identifying the red tides. However, comparison of spectra of normalized water-leaving radiance indicates that red tide pixels can be distinguished from sediment-laden pixels. Channel 443 and 555 were effective in showing the spectral characteristics. We suggest K490 algorithm as an example in summarizing the information of the spectra and thereby in distinguishing the red tide pixels. Further development is desirable.

최근의 기후변화는 연안에서 더욱 가속화되고 있어 연안에서의 해양 환경변화 감시의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 클로로필-a 농도는 해양 환경 변화의 중요한 지표 중 하나로 수십년 동안 여러 해색 위성을 통해 전구 해양 표층의 클로로필-a 농도가 산출되었으며 다양한 연구 분야에 활용되었다. 하지만 연안 해역의 탁한 해수는 외해의 맑은 해수와는 구별되는 구성 성분과 광학적 특성으로 인해 나타나는 심각한 오차 때문에 일반적으로 사용되는 전지구 대양을 위하여 만들어진 클로로필-a 농도 알고리즘은 연안 해역에 대입할 수 없다. 또한 연안 해역은 해역에 따라 성분과 특성이 크게 달라져 통일된 하나의 알고리즘을 제시하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 연안의 탁도가 높은 해역에서는 구성 성분과 광학적 변동 특성을 고려한 다양한 알고리즘들이 개발되어 사용되어 왔다. 클로로필-a 농도 산출 알고리즘은 크게 경험적 알고리즘, 반해석적 알고리즘, 기계학습을 활용한 알고리즘 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 해수의 반사 스펙트럼에 기반한 청색-녹색 밴드 비율이 기본적인 형태로 주로 사용된다. 반면 탁한 해수를 위해 개발된 알고리즘은 연안해역에 존재하는 용존 유기물과 부유물의 영향을 상쇄시키기 위한 방식으로 녹색-적색 밴드 비율, 적색-근적외 밴드 비율, 고유한 광학적 특성 등을 사용한다. 탁한 해수에서의 신뢰성 있는 위성 클로로필-a 농도 산출은 미래의 연안 해역을 관리하고 연안 생태 변화를 감시하는데 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 탁도가 높은 Case 2 해수에서 활용되어온 알고리즘들을 요약하고, 한반도 주변해역의 모니터링과 연구에 대한 문제점을 제시한다. 또한 다분광 및 초분광 센서의 개발로 더욱 정확하고 다양한 해색 환경을 이해할 수 있는 미래의 해색 위성에 대한 발전 전망도 제시한다.

Phycocyanin (PC) is one of the water-soluble accessory pigments of cyanobacteria species, and its concentration is used to estimate the presence and relative abundance of cyanobacteria. In laboratory experiments, PC content of field data were determined using Sarada's freeze-thaw method in algal bloom season. The effectiveness of three selected extraction methods (repeated freeze-thaw method, homogenization, power control) for PC were determined. The extraction efficiency of phycocyanin was the highest (of the methods compared) when a single freezing-thawing cycle was followed by pre-sonication. Applying this optimized method to surface water of Korean inland waters, the average concentration distribution was estimated at $2.9{\sim}51.9mg/m^3$. It has been shown that the optimized pre-sonication method is suitable to measure cyanobacteria PC content for the characterization of inland waters. The approach and results of this study indicates the potential of effective methods for remote monitoring and management of water quality in turbid inland waters using hyperspectral remote sensing.
