Abstract

Accurate correction of surface effect from back scattered solar radiance is one of key issue to retrieve aerosol information from satellite measurements. In this study, two different methods are applied to retrieve surface reflectance by using single visible channel measurement from meteorological imager onboard COMS. The first one is minimum reflectance method, which composes the minimum value among previously measured reflectances at each pixel over a certain search window length. This method assumes that the darkest pixel corresponds to the aerosol-free condition, and deduces surface reflectance by correcting atmospheric scattering from the measured visible reflectance. The second method, named as the "atmospheric correction method" in this study, estimates the result by correcting aerosol and atmospheric scattering with ground-based observation of aerosol optical properties. The purpose of this study is to investigate the retrieval accuracy of the widelyused minimum reflectance method. Also, the retrieval error caused by the loading of background aerosol is mainly estimated. The comparison between surface reflectances retrieved from the two methods shows good agreement with the correlation coefficient of 0.87. However, the results from the minimum reflectance method are slightly overestimated than the values from the atmospheric correction method when surface reflectance is lower than 0.2. The average difference between the two results is 0.012 without the background aerosol correction. By considering the background aerosol effect, however, the difference is reduced to 0.010.

인공위성의 가시 영역 관측으로부터 에어로솔의 정량적인 정보를 산출하는데 있어, 지표면 반사도의 보정은 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 천리안위성의 기상탑재체로부터 관측된 가시채널의 반사도로부터 지표면 반사도를 산출하고, 상호 비교 하여 정확도를 검증하고자 하였다. 첫 번째 방법은 최소 반사도법으로, 동일한 화소에서 일정 기간 동안 관측된 반사도 중 최소값이 에어로솔에 의한 영향 없이 지표반사에 의한 영향만을 포함한다는 가정을 기반으로, 대기산란 효과를 보정하여 지표면 반사도를 산출하는 방법이다. 두 번째 방법은 미리 알고 있는 에어로솔 정보를 고려하여 대기-에어로솔 효과를 보정함으로써 지표면 반사도를 얻는 것으로 본 연구에서 대기 보정법 이라 칭한다. 두 번째 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 정확한 에어로솔 정보가 요구되므로, 에어로솔 광학두께의 오차범위가 0.01 (${\geq}440nm$) 이내인 것으로 알려진 AERONET의 산출물을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 주요 목적은 최소 반사도법을 통하여 산출되는 지표면 반사도가 어느 정도의 정확도를 가지는지를 파악하는데 있어, 대기 보정법을 통하여 산출되는 값을 기준 값으로 두고 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 대기 중 존재하는 배경광학두께가 최소 반사도법의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 분석해보고자 하였다. 서울 지역에서 2012년 봄철 기간(3월 ~ 5월)동안 AERONET 관측지점에서 산출된 결과를 분석 한 결과, 대기 보정법을 통해 산출된 지표면 반사도의 평균이 0.108로 나타났고, 배경광학두께에 대한 고려 없이 최소 반사도법을 통하여 산출된 지표면 반사도는 그에 비해 약 0.012 높은 값을 보였다. 한 편 배경광학두께를 고려하였을 경우 그 차이는 0.010으로 감소하여, 정확도 향상에 기여하였음을 확인하였다.
