An attempt to obtain equipotential surface over the East China Sea along the three SEASAT ground tracks are described. Total correction of sea surface heights above the reference ellipsoid provided by SEASAT GDR Altimeter data consists of ocean tides and surges, body tides, sea level pressure inverse barometer effect corrections for the present study. It was shown that three equipotential surface derived from the corrections were qualitatively in agreement with GEM l0B Model and SS3 Mean Sea Surface Model.

Big swell is often generated offshore and damages the coasts after travelling long distance. In order to prevent coastal damages, wave measurements should be performed offshore as well as coastal waters around Korea. However, in-situ wave measurements are difficult because of high expense of instruments and high risk of operation. Satellite wave measurements using altimeter make it possible to get wave information from the sea difficult to execute field measurements such as the center of the East Sea or exclusive territorial waters. In order to use wave information from the satellite altimeter, it is important to verify altimeter wave data with in-situ data. This paper examines significant wave height data observed by ENVISAT altimeter by comparing wave data observed at Ieodo station.

This paper proposes the results of analysis of correlation between satellite geometry elements for an effective use of satellite images. To achieve accurate positional information, stereo images have normal range of convergence and BIE (BIsector Elevation) angles which are greatly influenced by azimuth and elevation angle of individual image. In this paper, the variations of convergence and BIE angles are estimated according to azimuth angle differences between two images and each elevation angle. The analysis provided strong support for predicting stereo geometry without complex analysis of epiploar geometry or mathematics. The experiment results showed that more than 150°, 130°, and 100° azimuth angle differences need to be constructed when elevation angle of two images is 50°, 60°, and 70°, respectively, in order to make the convergence and BIE angle within normal range. The results are expected to be fully used for various application using stereo images.

Modeling for outliers in time series was carried out using the MSL and extreme high, low tide levels (EHL, HLL) data set in the Busan and Mokpo stations. The time-series model is seasonal ARIMA model including the components of the AO (additive outliers) and LS (level shift). The optimal model was selected based on the AIC value and the model parameters were estimated using the 'tso' function (in 'tsoutliers' package of R). The main results by the model application, i.e.. outliers and level shift detections, are as follows. (1) The two AO are detected in the Busan monthly EHL data and the AO magnitudes were estimated to 65.5 cm (by typhoon MAEMI) and 29.5 cm (by typhoon SANBA), respectively. (2) The one level shift in 1983 is detected in Mokpo monthly MSL data, and the LS magnitude was estimated to 21.2 cm by the Youngsan River tidal estuary barrier construction. On the other hand, the RMS errors are computed about 1.95 cm (MSL), 5.11 cm (EHL), and 6.50 cm (ELL) in Busan station, and about 2.10 cm (MSL), 11.80 cm (EHL), and 9.14 cm (ELL) in Mokpo station, respectively.

The Radar altimeter transmits radio signals to the surface, receives the backscattered signals and measures the distance between the airplane and the nadir surface. The measurements of radar altimeter are affected by various factors on the surface below the aircraft. This study performed flight campaigns in June 2012 and acquired raw data from radar altimeter, LiDAR and other sensors. Based on the LiDAR DSM (Digital Surface Model) as a reference data, the characteristics of radar altimeter were analyzed in the respect of range and surface area affecting on the receiving power of the radar altimeter. Consequently, the radar altimeter was strongly affected by the surface area within beam width and reflectivity related to RCS (Radar Cross Section) rather than range.

We investigated the distribution of sea ice using various microwave remote sensing techniques including radar altimeter, radiometer, and scatterometer data in the part of Drake passage, Antarctica, between the area 45$^{\circ}$-75$^{\circ}$W and 55$^{\circ}$-66$^{\circ}$S. Topex/poseidon radar altimeter data were used to analyze the monthly distribution of sea ice surface area between 1992 and 1999 by using Geo_bad_1 flag or MGDR. From satellite radiometer measurements of DMSP's SSM/I, sea ice concentration was extracted during the period from 1993 to 1996. To select a value of ice concentration, normally ranging from 0 to 100%, that can be used as a critical value of judging the existence for ice, sea ice areas estimated from various ice concentrations of radiometer measurements were correlated with the area estimated from the radar altimeter measurements. As a result, 20% of ice concentration was selected, and, then this value was used to integrate radiometer data with radar altimeter and ERS-1/2 scatterometer data. To indirectly verify the result, the last 20 year's sea ice concentration was correlated with surface temperature data near Esper-anza Observation Station. The two data showed a high correlation coefficient of 0.86. The amount of sea ice and temperature variation were found to be closely related in the study area, and this indirectly verifies the result of this study. We provided a method to judge the existence of sea ice from ice concentration of satellite radiometer data and suggested a method to monitor more detailed temporal and spatial variation of sea ice distribution by integra-tion of various microwave remote sensing techniques.

본 연구는 컬러항공사진을 이용하여 컬러영상, 그레이영상 그리고 각 밴드별(RGB) 수치고도모형(DEM)을 생성하여 정확도를 평가하기 위한 것이다. 항공 영상지도의 경우 불과 4-5년 전까지만 해도 흑백항공사진 필름을 이용해 왔으나 최근 들어 판독을 더욱 용이하게 하기 위하여 컬러항공사진을 많이 이용하고 있다. 품질이 높은 정사영상제작을 위해서는 정확한 수치고도모형이 필요하다. 수치고도모형을 생성하기 위한 대표적인 방법으로 수치지도를 이용하는 방법과 영상정합기법을 이용하여 수치고도모형을 생성할 수 있다. 영상정합기법에 의한 수치고도모형 생성 방법은 흑백항공사진에서와는 달리 컬러항공사진은 항공사진 전용 스캐너에서 3개의 밴드(RGB)로 스캔된 영상을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 수치고도모형의 정확도를 분석하기 위하여 모두 5가지 영상(컬러영상, 그레이영상, Red 영상, Green 영상, Blue 영상)을 획득하였으며 각 밴드별 수치고도모형을 생성하여 수치지도에서 추출된 표고점 자료와의 평균제곱근오차(RMSE) 값을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 Red 영상을 이용하는 경우 가장 정확한 수치고도모형을 얻을 수 있었음을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

강수량은 물순환의 시작이라고 할 수 있으며 이를 계측하는 것은 수문조사의 기본이라고 할 수 있다. 특히 강우-유출 모형은 기본적으로 강수량이 정확해야 그 결과인 유출량이 정확하다는 것은 널리 알려진 사실이다. 일반적으로 강수량은 고도(Elevation)에 따라 차이를 보이며 고도가 상승할수록 강수량이 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 현상을 고려하여 유역의 강수량 관측계획을 수립할 때 유역고도를 고려하여 설계하기도 하며, 평균강수량 산정 시 유역의 고도를 고려하기도 한다. 우리나라는 국토의 70% 이상이 산지지형으로 한 유역내에서도 고도변화가 크다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 유역의 고도를 반영하여 평균강수량을 산정하려면 기본적으로 유역 고도에 따라 고르게 강수량관측소가 분포하여야 한다. 그러나 고도가 높은 고지대는 설치공사가 어렵고, 설치가 가능하다 하더라도 접근이 어려워 유지관리가 쉽지 않다는 문제가 있다. 따라서 대부분의 강수량관측소가 접근이 용이한 낮은 고도에 위치하고 있는 실정이다. 이렇게 유역의 낮은 고도에 편중되어 설치된 강수량관측소에서 산정된 평균강수량은 실제강수량보다 작게 산정될 가능성이 있다. 따라서 유역의 강수량산정에 미치는 영향에 대해 실측자료를 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하고 이를 보완할 필요성이 방안을 마련하는 것이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 이번 연구에서는 특정 유역내에서 평면적 위치 차이는 있지만 고도에 따른 강수량의 차이를 검토하고 이에 대한 상관성을 분석하고자 하였다. 또한 저평수기와 홍수기에 고도별 강우 특성을 분석하고 고도에 따른 강수량 관측의 문제점을 도출하고자 하였다.

The sea surface wind field has long been obtained from satellite scatterometers or passive microwave radiometers. However, the importance of satellite altimeter-derived wind speed has seldom been addressed because of the outstanding capability of the scatterometers. Satellite altimeter requires the accurate wind speed data, measured simultaneously with sea surface height observations, to enhance the accuracy of sea surface height through the correction of sea state bias. This study validates the wind speeds from the satellite altimeters (GFO, Jason-1, Envisat, Jason-2, Cryosat-2, SARAL) and analyzes characteristics of errors. In total, 1504 matchup points were produced using the wind speed data of Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) and of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) buoys at Marado and Oeyeondo stations for 10 years from December 2007 to May 2016. The altimeter wind speed showed a root mean square error (RMSE) of about $1.59m\;s^{-1}$ and a negative bias of $-0.35m\;s^{-1}$ with respect to the in-situ wind speed. Altimeter wind speeds showed characteristic biases that they were higher (lower) than in-situ wind speeds at low (high) wind speed ranges. Some tendency was found that the difference between the maximum and minimum value gradually increased with distance from the buoy stations. For the improvement of the accuracy of altimeter wind speed, an equation for correction was derived based on the characteristics of errors. In addition, the significance of altimeter wind speed on the estimation of sea surface height was addressed by presenting the effect of the corrected wind speeds on the sea state bias values of Jason-1.
