초록

인공위성 관측 유의파고는 기후변화에 대한 해양의 반응을 이해하는데 널리 활용되므로 장기간의 지속적인 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 1992년부터 2016년까지 25년 동안 북태평양과 북대서양에서 9종의 인공위성 고도계 관측 유의파고의 정확도를 평가하고 오차 특성을 분석하였다. 위성 고도계와 부이 관측 유의파고 자료를 비교 분석하기 위하여 137,929개의 위성-실측 유의파고 일치점 자료를 생성하였다. 북태평양과 북대서양에서 위성 고도계 유의파고는 0.03 m의 편차와 0. 27 m의 평균제곱근오차를 보여 비교적 높은 정확도로 관측되고 있음을 확인하였다. 그러나 위성 고도계 유의파고는 지역적인 해역 특성에 따라 오차의 공간 분포 특성이 상이하였다. 실측 유의파고에 따른 오차, 위도별 오차의 계절분포 및 연안으로부터 거리에 따른 오차를 분석하여 오차 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 대부분의 위성에서 실측 유의파고가 낮을 때 과대추정되었으며 실측 유의파고가 높을 때 과소추정되는 경향이 나타났다. 고도계 유의파고의 오차는 겨울철에 증가되고 여름철에 감소되는 뚜렷한 계절변화를 보였으며 고위도로 갈수록 변동성이 증폭되었다. 연안으로부터 거리에 따른 평균제곱근오차는 100 km 이상의 외해에서는 0. 3 m 이하로 높은 정확도를 보인 반면 15 km 이내의 연안에서는 오차가 0. 5 m 이상으로 현저하게 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 인공위성 고도계 자료를 활용하여 전구 및 지역적인 해역에서 유의파고의 시공간 변동성 분석 시 각별한 주의가 필요함을 시사한다.

Satellite-observed significant wave heights (SWHs), which are widely used to understand the response of the ocean to climate change, require long-term and continuous validation. This study examines the accuracy and error characteristics of SWH observed by nine satellite altimeters in the North Pacific and North Atlantic Ocean for 25 years (1992-2016). A total of 137,929 matchups were generated to compare altimeter-observed SWH and in-situ measurements. The altimeter SWH showed a bias of 0.03 m and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.27 m, indicating relatively high accuracy in the North Pacific and North Atlantic Ocean. However, the spatial distribution of altimeter SWH errors showed notable differences. To better understand the error characteristics of altimeter-observed SWH, errors were analyzed with respect to in-situ SWH, time, latitude, and distance from the coast. Overestimation of SWH was observed in most satellite altimeters when in-situ SWH was low, while underestimation was observed when in-situ SWH was high. The errors of altimeter-observed SWH varied seasonally, with an increase during winter and a decrease during summer, and the variability of errors increased at higher latitudes. The RMSEs showed high accuracy of less than 0.3 m in the open ocean more than 100 km from the coast, while errors significantly increased to more than 0.5 m in coastal regions less than 15 km. These findings underscore the need for caution when analyzing the spatio-temporal variability of SWH in the global and regional oceans using satellite altimeter data.
