Abstract

In order to identify the characteristics of sea surface temperature (SST) differences between microwave SST from GCOM-W1/AMSR2 and in-situ measurements in the western coast of Korea, a total of 6,457 collocated matchup data were produced using the in-situ temperature measurements from marine buoy stations (Deokjeokdo, Chilbaldo, and Oeyeondo) from July 2012 to December 2017. The accuracy of satellite microwave SSTs was presented by comparing the ocean buoy data of Deokjeokdo, Chilbaldo, and Oeyeondo stations with the AMSR2 SST data more than five years. The SST differences between the microwave SST and the in-situ temperature measurements showed some dependence on environmental factors, such as wind speed and water temperature. The AMSR2 SSTs were tended to be higher than the in-situ temperature measurements during the daytime when the wind speed was low ($<6ms^{-1}$). On the other hand, they showed positive deviation increasingly as the wind speed increased for nighttime. In addition, increasing tendency of SST differences was related to decreasing sensitivity of microwave sensors at low temperatures and data contamination by land. A monthly analysis of the SST difference showed that unlike the previous trend, which was known to be the largest in winter when strong winds were blowing, the SST difference was largest in summer in Deokjeokdo and Chilbaldo buoy stations. This seemed to be induced by differential tidal mixing at the collocated matchup points. This study presented problems and limitations of the use of microwave SSTs with high contribution to the SST composites in the western coastal region off the Korean peninsula.

본 연구에서는 서해 연안에서의 실측-위성 해수면온도 차이를 규명하고 그 특성을 분석하기 위해 GCOM-W1/AMSR2 마이크로파 해수면온도 자료와 서해 연안에 위치한 덕적도, 칠발도, 외연도 해양기상 부이의 실측 수온 자료를 활용하여 2012년 7월부터 2017년 12월까지 총 6,457개의 일치점 자료를 생산하였다. 5년 이상의 덕적도, 칠발도, 외연도 해양 부이 수온 자료와 AMSR2 해수면온도를 비교하여 정확도를 제시하였다. 마이크로파 위성 해수면온도와 현장 관측 부이 해수면온도 간의 차이는 풍속과 수온 등 환경 요인에 대한 의존성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 낮시간 풍속이 약할 때 ($<6ms^{-1}$) AMSR2 해수면온도는 실측 해수면온도보다 높게 산출되며, 밤시간에 대해서는 풍속이 커질수록 양의 편차가 증가함을 밝혔다. 또한 AMSR2 해수면온도와 실측 해양부이 수온 간의 차이가 증가하는 경향은 낮은 온도에서 마이크로파 센서의 민감도의 저하와 육지에 의한 자료오염과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 실측-위성 해수면온도 차이를 월별로 도시해본 결과, 마이크로파 위성 해수면온도의 편차는 강한 바람이 부는 겨울철에 가장 커진다고 알려져 있던 기존의 경향성과는 달리 덕적도, 칠발도 부이에서는 여름철 가장 큰 해수면온도 편차값이 나타났다. 이러한 차이는 부이의 위치에 따른 조석 혼합의 공간적 차등에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 인공위성 합성장에 기여도가 높은 마이크로파 위성 해수면온도를 사용할 때 한반도 서해안에서 발생할 수 있는 문제점과 제한점을 제시하였다.
