전자파표면유속계는 대표적인 비접촉식 계측기기로 최근 유량조사를 위해 활발하게 활용되고 있다. 국내에서 사용되고 있는 전자파표면유속계는 평수기 저유속에서도 측정이 가능하고 편각 측정이 가능하도록 개발되어 한 측정 지점에서 다 지점의 유속이 측정이 가능해 평수기 홍수기에 비교적 적은 인원으로 빠른 시간에 유량측정이 가능하다. 하지만 국내의 경우 전자파표면유속계가 과연 얼마만큼의 정확한 유속을 측정하는지에 대한 분석이 다소 부족한 실정으로 특히, 실제 하천에서 정확한 분석은 수행되지 않은 상태에서 유량 측정에 사용되고 있다. 전자파표면유속계를 실제 하천에서 사용할 경우 발생 할 수 있는 오차의 요인으로는 교량과 같이 높은 지점에서 측정을 수행할 경우 측정영역(Footprint or Illuminated area)에 따른 오차가 발생할 수 있는 가능성이 있고, 동일 측정 지점에 대해 수직각과 편각에 변화에 따른 유속 측정 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발된 Mutronics사의 전자파표면유속계(MWSCM; Microwave Water Surface Current Meter)에 레이저포인터를 부착하여 표면유속 약 0.5m/s ~ 1m/s의 자연 하천과 매우 유사한 실제 소하천 규모의 한국건설기술연구원 안동실험센터 직선하천에서 수직각(Tilt angle) 및 편각(Yaw angle)을 변화시켜가며 유속를 측정하였다. 그리고 측정된 결과를 활용하여 수직각과 편각의 변화에 따른 전자파표면유속계의 측정영역을 검토하였고, 동일한 측정 지점에 micro-ADV를 이용해 측정된 연직유속분포를 외삽하여 산정된 표면유속과 비교하여 전자파표면유속계의 측정 정확도를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 수직각(Tilt angle) 15도 이하에서는 유속 측정의 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났고, 편각(Yaw angle)이 커질수록 측정영역이 커지게 되어 변동 계수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 전자파표면유속계의 측정 오차는 측정영역에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타나 실제 전자파표면유속계를 이용한 유량측정 시 측정영역을 고려한 측정이 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Streamflow discharge as a fundamental riverine quantity plays a crucial role in water resources management, thereby requiring accurate in-situ measurement. Recent advances in instrumentations for the streamflow discharge measurement has complemented or substituted classical devices and methods. Among various potential methods, surface current meter using microwave has increasingly begun to be applied not only for flood but also normal flow discharge measurement, remotely and safely enabling practitioners to measure flow velocity postulating indirect contact. With minimized field preparedness, this method facilitated and eased flood discharge measurement in the difficult in-situ conditions such as extreme flood in active ways emitting 24.125 GHz microwave without relying on natural lights. In South Korea, a rectangular shaped instrument named with Microwave Water Surface Current Meter (MWSCM) has been developed and commercially released around 2010, in which domestic agencies charging on streamflow observation shed lights on this approach regarding it as a potential substitute. Considering this brand-new device highlighted for efficient flow measurement, however, there has been few noticeable efforts in systematic and comprehensive evaluation of its performance in various measurement and riverine conditions that lead to lack in imminent and widely spreading usages in practices. This study attempted to evaluate the MWSCM in terms of instrumen's monitoring configuration particularly regarding tilt and yaw angle. In the middle of pointing the measurement spot in a given cross-section, the observation campaign inevitably poses accuracy issues related with different tilt and yaw angles of the instrument, which can be a conventionally major source of errors for this type of instrument. Focusing on the perspective of instrument configuration, the instrument was tested in a controlled outdoor river channel located in KICT River Experiment Center with a fixed flow condition of around 1 m/s flow speed with steady flow supply, 6 m of channel width, and less than 1 m of shallow flow depth, where the detailed velocity measurements with SonTek micro-ADV was used for validation. As results, less than 15 degree in tilting angle generated much higher deviation, and higher yawing angle proportionally increased coefficient of variance. Yaw angles affected accuracy in terms of measurement area.

Interpretations of 3-component magnetic logging data obtained for a reinforced bar as a model of the line of the magnetic dipoles are conducted using a least squared inversion technique. The length of the bar is 1.12 m, sampling interval is 0.05 m, the distance between the bar and the borehole is 0.3 m, and the top of the bar is fixed at 0 m of depth. The bar is set to be approximately vertical. Magnetic anomalies smoothed with FFT are used as input data for the inversion. For the interpretation of magnetic logging data the depth to the top, the length, the magnetic moment per unit length, the direction of the magnetization (declination and inclination), and the bearing and plunge of the line of magnetic dipoles are left as unknown parameters. The comparison of the results obtained from the individual inversion of the horizontal component or the vertical component of the magnetic anomalies, and those from the simultaneous inversion of horizontal and vertical component of the magnetic anomalies shows that there exist some disagreements between each inversion result. The depth to the bottom of the bar, which is actually 1.12 m, is estimated as 1.18 m, and the inclination of the magnetization is estimated as -76°by simultaneous inversion. The negative value of the inclination indicates that the strength of the remnant magnetization is much greater than that of the induced magnetization, so that the direction of the resultant magnetization points to the top of the bar.
