Abstract

There has been an increasing trend in damaging by the Asian dust in spring. The continuous monitoring of the dust event with IR channels in geostationary satellite is very useful for forecasting and preventing the event. However, the monitoring with the IR channels revealed various problems associated with sensitivity. To eliminate these problems, we introduced a new concept of monitoring by constructing the background threshold values (BTV) and aerosol index (AI). This paper is about to test the reliability of this concept by applying to geostationary satellite, MTSAT-1R.

최근 황사에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있는데, 정지궤도 위성에 탑재된 적외 채널은 주야간의 연속적인 관측을 가능하게 하여 황사 예보와 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 피해를 미리 예방하는데 큰 도움을 준다. 그러나 적외 채널을 이용한 황사 측정 방법에는 많은 문제점들이 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. 이런 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 적외 채널의 배경경계값과 황사지수 개념을 도입하여 이를 정지궤도 위성에 적용한다면 황사 측정 결과를 크게 개선할 수 있음을 밝혀냈다. 본 연구는 이러한 개념을 정지궤도 위성인 MTSAT-1R에 적용하여 개선된 황사 측정 방법에 대해 연구하였다.
