Abstract

National Meteorological Satellite Center(NMSC) has produced Sea Surface Temperature (SST) using Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite(COMS) data since April 2011. In this study, we have developed a new regional COMS SST algorithm optimized within the North-West Pacific Ocean area based on the Multi-Channel SST(MCSST) method and made a composite SST using polar orbit satellites as well as the COMS data. In order to retrieve the optimized SST at Northwest Pacific, we carried out a colocation process of COMS and in-situ buoy data to make coefficients of the MCSST algorithm through the new cloud masking including contaminant pixels and quality control processes of buoy data. And then, we have estimated the composite SST through the optimal interpolation method developed by National Institute of Meteorological Science(NIMS). We used four satellites SST data including COMS, NOAA-18/19(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-18/19), and GCOM-W1(Global Change Observation Mission-Water 1). As a result, the root mean square error ofthe composite SST for the period of July 2012 to June 2013 was $0.95^{\circ}C$ in comparison with in-situ buoy data.

국가기상위성센터(NMSC)는 2011년 4월부터 천리안 위성(COMS) 해수면온도자료를 생산해왔다. 본 연구에서는 천리안 해수면온도 알고리즘을 이용하여 북서태평양 지역에 최적화된 해수면온도 산출 알고리즘 및 정지궤도와 극궤도 위성의 해수면온도 자료 합성 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 북서태평양 해역에 최적화된 천리안위성 해수면온도를 산출하기 위해 천리안 위성 자료와 부이(Buoy) 해수면온도 자료를 이용하여 해당지역에 최적화된 회귀계수를 산출 하였으며, 정확도 향상을 위한 새로운 구름 및 기타 오염 화소 제거와 부이자료의 품질검사 과정을 수행하였다. 그리고 본 연구에서 산출한 북서태평양 지역에 최적화된 천리안 위성 해수면 온도와 극궤도 위성(NOAA-18/19 and GCOM-W1) 해수면온도 자료를 이용하여 합성해수면 온도를 산출하였다. 합성 방법은 국립기상과학원에서 개발한 합성해수면온도 알고리즘을 응용하여 적용하였다(NIMR, 2009). 북서태평양 해역에 최적화된 천리안위성 해수면온도를 산출하기 위해 2011년 4월부터 2012년 3월까지의 위성 및 부이 자료를 사용하였고, 합성 해수면온도를 산출하기 위해 2012년 7월부터 2013년 6월까지의 자료를 사용하였다. 합성 해수면온도와 부이 해수면온도 자료를 비교한 결과 $0.95^{\circ}C$의 평균 제곱근 오차(RMSE)를 나타냈다.
