This study introduces the first method that determines tropospheric ozone column directly from a space-based instrument. This method is based on the physical differences in the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) measurement as a function of its scan-angle geometry. Tropospheric ozone in September-October exhibits a broad enhancement over South America, the southern Atlantic Ocean, and western South Africa and a minimum over the central Pacific Ocean. Tropical tropospheric ozone south of the equator is higher than north of the equator in September-October, the southern burning season. Conversely, ozone north of the equator is higher in March, the northern burning season. Overall, the ozone over the southern tropics during September-October is significantly higher than over the northern tropics. Abnormally high tropospheric ozone occurs over the western Pacific Ocean during the El Nino season when the ozone amounts are as high as the ozone over the Africa.

The Ionospheric Anomaly Monitoring by Magnetometer And Plasma-probe (IAMMAP) is one of the scientific instruments for the Compact Advanced Satellite 500-3 (CAS 500-3) which is planned to be launched by Korean Space Launch Vehicle in 2024. The main scientific objective of IAMMAP is to understand the complicated correlation between the equatorial electro-jet (EEJ) and the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) which play important roles in the dynamics of the ionospheric plasma in the dayside equator region. IAMMAP consists of an impedance probe (IP) for precise plasma measurement and magnetometers for EEJ current estimation. The designated sun-synchronous orbit along the quasi-meridional plane makes the instrument suitable for studying the EIA and EEJ. The newly-devised IP is expected to obtain the electron density of the ionosphere with unprecedented precision by measuring the upper-hybrid frequency (f_UHR) of the ionospheric plasma, which is not affected by the satellite geometry, the spacecraft potential, or contamination unlike conventional Langmuir probes. A set of temperature-tolerant precision fluxgate magnetometers, called Adaptive In-phase MAGnetometer, is employed also for studying the complicated current system in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, which is particularly related with the EEJ caused by the potential difference along the zonal direction.

2010년 발사 예정인 다목적실용위성 5호 (KOMPSAT-5, KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-5)는 기상상태와 태양고도에 제약을 받지 않고 영상 획득이 가능한 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 시스템이 탑재된다. 본 연구에서는 SAR를 이용한 레이더 측량기법 (radargrarnrnetry)을 적용하기 위하여 KOMFSAT-5의 예상 궤도와 영상 모드를 분석하여 최적의 영상 조합을 제시하였다. 임의의 지상점에서 가장 가까운 위치에 있는 궤도로부터 패스번호를 부여하였고, 충분한 고도해상도를 얻기 위해 시차(parallax)에 따른 도민감도는 0.5이상을 선택하였으며, 레이더 영상의 기하왜곡을 고려하여 고도민감도가 0.8이하가 되는 영상 조합을 최적 조건으로 제시하였다. 예를 들어, 인접한 패스간의 거리가 약 95 km인 적도에서는 기하학적 모델을 이용하여 패스번호 3-9와 5-3의 두 쌍이 최적의 영상조합으로 제시되었다. 또한 임의로 선택한 대전과 남극 세종기지 지점에서는 STK 소프트웨어를 통해 궤도를 계산하였다. 대전에서는 5-4, 7-5, 8-5의 세 영상 조합을, 남극 세종기지에서는 8-6, 9-7, 10-7, 11-8, 12-8, 13-9, 14-9, 15-9, 15-10, 15-11의 열 쌍의 영상 조합이 레이더 측량기 법에 최적임을 제시하였다.
