국립고흥청소년우주체험센터는 2014년 11월에 1,040mm의 반사망원경을 도입할 예정이다. 그 사전 준비로 천체관측소 10m돔에 150mm 굴절망원경과 1K CCD카메라를 설치하고, 이를 통합 제어할 원격관측시스템을 구축하였다. 원격으로 제어가 가능한 이 시스템은, 망원경 구동부, CCD, 돔을 제어할 수 있는 소프트웨어, 각 기기를 원격에서 조정 작동할 수 있는 장비, 기상과 하늘의 실시간 상황 및 망원경의 상태를 확인 할 수 있는 원격 모니터링 카메라 등으로 구성되어 있다. 구축 이후 M67 산개성단과 SA98 표준성 영역을 원격으로 관측하였다. 이를 통해, 관측시에 발생할 수 있는 문제점과 장애요인을 분석하여 보완 개선하였고, 시범관측으로 확보한 자료를 활용하여 관측환경을 정량화하는 중이다. 최우선 과제는 센터가 위치한 내나로도 지역의 시상정보를 검증하고 축적하는 일이다. 센터는 천체관측소에 시상 관측기 설치하여 자료를 축적하고 있다. 이 정보의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 150mm 굴절망원경으로 얻어진 시상정보와 비교 검증하고자 한다. 또한 이 과정에서 센터 천체관측소에 구축된 망원경으로 관측 가능한 한계등급을 얻을 수 있었고, 표준계 변환작업을 통해 1차와 2차 소광계수를 구해 보았다. 추가적으로 관측 가능한 일수를 지속적으로 기록하여, 계절별, 월별 관측 가능일 수를 조사할 예정이다.

The aim of this review is to provide perspectives on the application of remote sensing techniques for observation of marine environmental changes on various spatio-temporal scales. Currently available remote sensing technologies are reviewed and future direction is suggested. For better utilization of remote sensing, a comprehensive plan should be developed by a demand-side and problem-solving approach. Marine environmental changes should be observed on proper spatio-temporal scales where the processes occur. For appropriate observation and monitoring of various environmental changes in coastal regions, more sensors must be utilized. Platforms other than satellites should also be utilized to expand the spatio-temporal scales of observation. Calibration/validation activities, required for accurate interpretation of remotely sensed data, could utilize buoys and ship-of-opportunity sensors. It is desirable that such systems by developed as a part of an integrated monitoring network.

The shoreline changes were observed and analysed using the video image by a remote unmanned automatic camera monitoring system installed at Haeundae beach of Busan City. In order to analyse quantitatively the shoreline changes caused by waves and tides, the image averaging technique and the rectification technique for obliquely acquired image were applied to the video image during the typhoon Bart in September, 1999. The results showed that the camera monitoring system can be used as a very cost effective and efficient tool for monitoring shorelines which change continuously due to waves and tides.

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM) Satellite was launched in November 1997, carving into orbit the first space-borne Precipitation Radar(PR). The main objective of the TRMM is to obtain and study multi-year science data sets of tropical and subtropical rainfall measurements. In the present investigation, the characteristics of heavy rainfall cases over Korea in 1998 and 1999 are analyzed using the TRMM/PR dat3. We compare the rainrate measured from TRMM/PR with the accumulated rainfall data for 10 minutes tv Automatic Weather System(AWS). Especially, horizontal cross-section of rainrate with height and longitude in the precipitating clouds are investigated. As a result of the comparison with GMS-5 IR1, the TRMM/PR data delineate well the rain type( i.e. convective, stratiform cloud and others), height of storm top and instantaneous rainrate in the precipitating clouds. The vertical structure with height and horizontal cross-section of rainrate along the longitude show the orographic effect on the rainfall. TRMM/PR instrument measures the rainrate below 6 ㎜/hr more than AWS rainguages and inclined to underestimate the rainrate than rainguages for the whole area.

Consistent observation with high temporal and spatial resolution is required for an efficient monitoring of coastal environments. Remote monitoring system installed on the ground is capable of simultaneous observation of wide coastal area and consistent observation with high frequency, which a small number of in-situ measurements cannot manage. This paper studies two typical ground based coastal monitoring system, marine radar and camera system. Marine radar can produce time series of frequency spectrum by integrating wave number spectrum calculated from spatial and temporal variation of waves in the radar image. The time averaged radar images of waves can analyze wave breaking zone, rip currents and location of littoral bars. Camera system can observe temporal variation of foam generation originated from coastal contamination as well as shoreline changes. By extracting the part of foams from rectified images, quantitative analysis of temporal foam variation can be done. By using the two above systems of different characteristics, synergetic benefit can be achieved.

In this study, continuous long-term observation is implemented with an ocean radar. Ocean radar conducts remote observation (combined) with ground-based radars, which enable a series of simultaneous observations of an extensive range of the coast with high frequency. An ocean radar for continuous long-term observation is operated at Samcheok on the east coast of Korea. Samcheok experienced tsunami damage in recent years and is the location of a nuclear power plant. In order to examine the reliability of the ocean radar, a pressure-type wave gauge, ultrasonic wave gauge, and ocean buoy are installed for the purpose of data comparison and verification. The ocean radar used in this study is an array-type HF-RADAR named WERA (WavE RAdar). The analysis of the data obtained from continuous long-term observations showed that the radar observations were in agreement with more than 90% of the wave data collected within a 25 km range from the center of two sites. Less than 1% of the entire observation data was unmeasured by the time series analysis. As a result of comparing the radar data with the direct observations made by the wave gauge, it was inferred that the RMS deviation is less than 20cm and the correlation coefficient was in the range of 0.84 ~ 0.87. Moreover, supported by such observations, a comprehensive monitoring system is being developed to provide the public with real-time reports on waves and currents via the internet.

Multitemporal analysis with remotely sensed data is complicated by numerous intervening factors, including atmospheric attenuation and occurrence of clouds that obscure the relationship between ground and satellite observed spectral measurements. Using an adaptive reconstruction system, dynamic compositing approach was developed to recover missing/bad observations. The reconstruction method incorporates temporal variation in physical properties of targets and anisotropic spatial optical properties into image processing. The adaptive system performs the dynamic compositing by obtaining a composite image as a weighted sum of the observed value and the value predicted according to local temporal trend. The proposed system was applied to the sequence of NDVI images of AVHRR observed on the Korean Peninsula from 1999 year to 2000 year. The experiment shows that the reconstructed series can be used as an estimated series with complete data for the observations including bad/missing values. Additionally, the gradient image, which represents the amount of temporal change at the corresponding time, was generated by the proposed system. It shows more clearly temporal variation than the data image series.

MODIS Aqua에 의한 한반도 주변 해역의 관측은 엽록소의 변동을 관측하여 해양환경변화를 관측하는데 주로 연구되었다. 그러나 황해는 Case II 해역으로 해양의 엽록소 관측에 오차가 크기 때문에 동해와 남해, 동중국해역을 관측한 연구가 발표되어 왔다. 특히 적조와 같은 이상변동을 관측하는데 해색자료의 활용은 매우 활발한 연구가 이루어졌다. 하지만 K490(Diffuse attenuation coefficient for downwelling irradiance at 490nm)은 OCTS, SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS 등의 해색자료에 의해 많은 자료가 생산되고 있으나 이를 이용한 한반도 주변 해역의 해양환경변동에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 2008년 한반도 주변해역에서 관측된 MODIS 자료를 처리하여 K490에 의한 시-공간적 변화를 분석하였다. 특히 K490에 의한 월 변화(monthly)와 통계처리 결과를 분석하여 기후변화의 주요 분석인자인 해양의 일차생산력을 판단하는데 중요한 영향을 미치는 K490의 공간 특성을 제시하였다. 한반도 주변 해역의 K490에 의한 시-공간적 특성은 육상의 주요 하천에서 기인하는 부유사와 서남해역의 재부유 물질에 의한 영향이 시-공간적으로 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것을 파악할 수 있었다.
