Abstract

The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) which is the Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectrometer has been operated by the National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR) in Anmyeon island, South Korea since June 2010. The ground-based AERI with similar hyper-spectral infrared sensor to satellite could be an alternative way to validate satellite-based remote sensing. In this regard, the NIMR has focused on the improvement of Cloud data Filtering Method (CFM) which employed only one reference spectrum of clear sky in winter season. This study suggests Seasonal-Cloud data Filtering Method (S-CFM) which applied seasonal AERI reference spectra. For the comparison of applied S-CFM and CFM, the methane retrievals (surface volume mixing ratio) from AERI spectra are used. The quality of AERI methane retrieval applied S-CFM was significantly more improved than that of CFM. The positive result of S-CFM is similar pattern with the seasonal variation of methane from ground-based in-situ measurement, even if the summer season's methane is retrieved over-estimation. In addition, the comparison of vertical total column of methane from AERI and GOSAT shows good result except for the summer season.

국립기상과학원은 2010년 6월부터, 하향적외스펙트럼을 관측하는 고분해적외분광간섭계(FT-IR)인 Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer(AERI)를 안면도 기후변화감시센터에 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 고분해 적외 센서를 이용한 AERI는 위성 기반의 원격탐사 자료를 검증하는데 유효하다. 본 연구에서는 계절별 AERI 기준 스펙트럼을 선정 및 적용(Seasonal-Cloud data Filtering Method, S-CFM)하여 구름에 영향을 받은 관측 스펙트럼 자료 제거방법을 개선하였다. S-CFM을 적용하여 산출된 최하층 메탄농도는 한 개의 기준 스펙트럼을 사용(Cloud data Filtering Method, CFM)하여 산출된 최하층 메탄농도 및 지상관측 메탄농도와 비교하였으며, AERI 연직 메탄 총량을 산출하여 GOSAT 메탄 연직 총량을 통해 검증 및 분석하였다. S-CFM 방법을 적용하여 산출된 최하층 메탄농도는 CFM의 최하층 메탄농도보다 더 정확도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 지상관측 메탄농도의 연간 변화 패턴과 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 또한 GOSAT과 AERI의 연직 메탄 총량 비교에서도 비슷한 농도 분포를 보였으며, 매년 증가하는 패턴을 보였다. 뿐만 아니라 S-CFM을 적용함으로써 비교 가능한 자료의 개수가 증가하였다. 다만 여름철 AERI 스펙트럼을 통해 산출된 최하층 메탄농도 및 연직 총량 농도가 상당히 과대추정 되는 모습을 보이고 있기 때문에 기술적 보완이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
