Abstract

The aerosol retrieval algorithm for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements was updated recently. This paper reports on the comparison and validation of two latest versions (Collection 4 and 5, shortly C004 and C005) of the MODIS aerosol product over northeast Asian region. The differences between the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) from the C004 and C005 retrieval algorithms and the correlation with ground based AERONET sunphotometer observations are investigated. Over the study region, spatially averaged annual mean AOT retrieved from C005 algorithm $(AOT_{C005})$ is about 0.035 AOT (5%) less than the C004 counterparts. The linear correlations between MODIS and AERONET AOT also are R=0.89 (slope=0.86) for the C004 and R=0.95 (slope=1.00) for the C005. Moreover, the magnitude of the mean error in $AOT_{C005}$, difference between MODIS AOT and AERONET AOT, is 40% less than that in $AOT_{C004}$.

인공위성 관측자료를 이용한 대기 에어러솔 원격탐사 기법은 단시간에 넓은 공간적 영역을 분석할 수 있게 하며, 대상 지역에 존재하는 에어러솔의 분포 정보 및 광학적, 물리학적 특성을 제공 해준다. MODIS 위성자료는 현재까지 가장 진보된 에어러솔 분석자료를 생산하고 있으며, 가장 최근에 개선된 에어러솔 알고리즘(Collection 5 또는 C005)은 기존의 알고리즘(Collection 4 또는 C004)에 비해 많은 부분이 개선되었다. 본 연구는 동북아 지역에서 두 가지 MODIS 에어러솔 알고리즘에 의해 생산된 에어러솔 관측자료를 비교하였고, 각각의 정확도를 검증하기 위하여 AERONET sunphotometer 관측자료와 비교분석 하였다. 2005년 한해 동안의 MODIS 에어러솔 광학두께를 이용하여 에어러솔 광학 두께 (AOT)의 차이를 분석한 결과 에어러솔의 시공간적인 분포특징은 비슷하였으나, $AOT_{C005}$가 $AOT_{C004}$에 비하여 약 0.035(5%) 정도의 낮은 값을 보였다. MODIS AOT와 AERONET AOT와의 비교결과 C004가 상관계수 R=0.89 (기울기=0.86)를, C005는 R=0.95 (기울기=1.00)을 보였다. 더욱이 정확도 분석에서는 C005가 C004에 비해 약 40% 정도 개선이 된 것으로 나타났다.
