Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid and accurate analytical method for determining the composition of agricultural products and feeds. This study was conducted to measure baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin contents in Scutellaria baicalensis by using NIRS system. Total 63 samples previously were analyzed by HPLC, which showed baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin contents ranging 4.56 to 13.59%, 0.28 to 5.54%, and 0.50 to 1.63% with an average of 9.66%, 2.09% and 0.52%, respectively. Each sample was scanned by NIRS and calculated for calibration and validation equation. A calibration equation calculated by modified partial least squares(MPLS) regression technique was developed in which the coefficient of determination for baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin content was 0.958, 0.944, and 0.709, respectively. Each calibration equation was applied to validation set that was performed with the remaining samples not included in the calibration set, which showed high positive correlation both in baicalin and baicalein content file. In case of wogonin, the prediction model was needed more accuracy because of low $R^2$ value in validation set. These results demonstrate that the developed NIRS equation can be practically used as a rapid screening method for quantification of baicalin and baicalein contents in Scutellaria baicalensis.

Global warming and rapid climate change have long affected the characteristics of typhoons in the Northwest Pacific, which has induced increasing devastating disasters along the coastal regions of the Korean peninsula. Synthetic Aperature Radar (SAR), as one of the microwave sensors, makes it possible to produce high-resolution sea surface wind field around the typhoon under cloudy atmospheric conditions, which has been impossible to obtain the winds from satellite optical and infrared sensors. The Geophysical Model Functions (GMFs) for sea surface wind retrieval from SAR data requires the input of wind direction, which should be based on the accurate estimation of the center of the typhoon. This study estimated the typhoon centers using Sentinel-1A images to improve the problem of typhoon center detection method and to reflect it in retrieving the sea surface wind. The results were validated by comparing with the typhoon best track data provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), and also by using infrared images of Himawari-8 satellite. The initial center position of the typhoon was determined by using VH polarization, thereby reducing the possibility of error. The detected center showed a difference of 23.76 km on average with the best track data of the four typhoons provided by the KMA and JMA. Compared to the typhoon center estimated by Himawari-8 satellite, the results showed an average spatial variation of 11.80 km except one typhoon located near land with a large difference of 58.73 km. This result suggests that high-resolution SAR images can be used to estimate the center and retrieve sea surface wind around typhoons.

This paper illustratesthe impact of the temporal gap between satellite images and targetsize in mesoscale atmospheric motion vector (AMV) algorithm. A test has been performed using GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) rapid-scan data sets with a temporal gap varying between 2 and 10 minutes and a targetsize between 8×8 and 40×40. Resultsshow the variation of the number of AMVs produced, mean AMV speed, and validation scores as a function of temporal gap and target size. As a results, it was confirmed that the change in the number of vectors and the normalized root-mean squared vector difference (NRMSVD) became more pronounced when smaller targets are used. In addition, it was advantageous to use shorter temporal gap and smaller target size for the AMV calculation in the lower layer, where the average speed is low and the spatio-temporal scale of atmospheric phenomena is small. The temporal gap and the targetsize are closely related to the spatial and temporalscale of the atmospheric circulation to be observed with AMVs. Thus, selecting the target size and temporal gap for an optimum calculation of AMVsrequires considering them. This paper recommendsthat the optimized configuration to be used operationally for the near-real time analysis of mesoscale meteorological phenomena is 4-min temporal gap and 16×16 pixel target size, respectively.

Based on the "Mid to Long Term Plan for Space Development", a project to launch COMeS (Communication, Oceanography, and Meteorological Satellite) into the geostationary orbit is undergoing. Accordingly, KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) has defined the meteorological missions and prepared the user requirements to fulfill the missions. To make a realistic user requirements, we prepared a first draft based on the ideal meteorological products derivable from a geostationary platform and sent the RFI (request for information) to the sensor manufacturers. Based on the responses to the RFI and other considerations, we revised the user requirement to be a realistic plan for the 2008 launch of the satellite. This manuscript introduces the revised user requirements briefly. The major mission defined in the revised user requirement is the augmentation of the detection and prediction ability of the severe weather phenomena, especially around the Korean Peninsula. The required payload is an enhanced Imager, which includes the major observation channels of the current geostationary sounder. To derive the required meteorological products from the Imager, at least 12 channels are required with the optimum of 16 channels. The minimum 12 channels are 6 wavelength bands used for current geostationary satellite, and additional channels in two visible bands, a near infrared band, two water vapor bands and one ozone absorption band. From these enhanced channel observation, we are going to derive and utilize the information of water vapor, stability index, wind field, and analysis of special weather phenomena such as the yellow sand event in addition to the standard derived products from the current geostationary Imager data. For a better temporal coverage, the Imager is required to acquire the full disk data within 15 minutes and to have the rapid scan mode for the limited area coverage. The required thresholds of spatial resolutions are 1 km and 2 km for visible and infrared channels, respectively, while the target resolutions are 0.5 km and 1 km.

The purpose of this study is to improve the calibration matrixes of 2-D and 3-D convective rainfall rates (CRR) using the brightness temperature of the infrared $10.8{\mu}m$ channel (IR), the difference of brightness temperatures between infrared $10.8{\mu}m$ and vapor $6.7{\mu}m$ channels (IR-WV), and the normalized reflectance of the visible channel (VIS) from the COMS satellite and rainfall rate from the weather radar for the period of 75 rainy days from April 22, 2011 to October 22, 2011 in Korea. Especially, the rainfall rate data of the weather radar are used to validate the new 2-D and 3-DCRR calibration matrixes suitable for the Korean peninsula for the period of 24 rainy days in 2011. The 2D and 3D calibration matrixes provide the basic and maximum CRR values ($mm\;h^{-1}$) by multiplying the rain probability matrix, which is calculated by using the number of rainy and no-rainy pixels with associated 2-D (IR, IR-WV) and 3-D (IR, IR-WV, VIS) matrixes, by the mean and maximum rainfall rate matrixes, respectively, which is calculated by dividing the accumulated rainfall rate by the number of rainy pixels and by the product of the maximum rain rate for the calibration period by the number of rain occurrences. Finally, new 2-D and 3-D CRR calibration matrixes are obtained experimentally from the regression analysis of both basic and maximum rainfall rate matrixes. As a result, an area of rainfall rate more than 10 mm/h is magnified in the new ones as well as CRR is shown in lower class ranges in matrixes between IR brightness temperature and IR-WV brightness temperature difference than the existing ones. Accuracy and categorical statistics are computed for the data of CRR events occurred during the given period. The mean error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean squire error (RMSE) in new 2-D and 3-D CRR calibrations led to smaller than in the existing ones, where false alarm ratio had decreased, probability of detection had increased a bit, and critical success index scores had improved. To take into account the strong rainfall rate in the weather events such as thunderstorms and typhoon, a moisture correction factor is corrected. This factor is defined as the product of the total precipitable waterby the relative humidity (PW RH), a mean value between surface and 500 hPa level, obtained from a numerical model or the COMS retrieval data. In this study, when the IR cloud top brightness temperature is lower than 210 K and the relative humidity is greater than 40%, the moisture correction factor is empirically scaled from 1.0 to 2.0 basing on PW RH values. Consequently, in applying to this factor in new 2D and 2D CRR calibrations, the ME, MAE, and RMSE are smaller than the new ones.

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid and accurate analytical method for determining the composition of agricultural products and feeds. This study was conducted to determine tocopherol and tocotrienol contents in rice bran by using NIRS system. Total 80 rice bran samples previously analyzed by HPLC were scanned by NIRS and over 60 samples were selected for calibration and validation equation. A calibration equation calculated by MPLS(modified partial least squares) regression technique was developed and coefficient of determination for tocopheyol and tocotyienol content were 0.975 and 0.984, respectively, in calibration sets. Each calibration equation was fitted to validation set that was performed with the remaining samples not included is the calibration set, which showed high positive correlation both in tocopherol and tocotrienol content file. This results demonstrate that the developed NIRS equation can be practically used as a rapid screening method for quantification of tocopherol and tocotrienol contents in rice bran.

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager(: GOCI) detects the sea fog at a high horizontal resolution of $500m{\times}500m$ using the Rayleigh corrected reflectance of 8 bands. The visible and the near infrared waves strongly reflect the characteristics of the earth surface, causing errors in cloud and fog detection. A threshold of the Band7 reflectance was set to detect the sea fog entering the land. When the region on which Band4 reflectance is larger than Band8 is determinated as cloud, the error over-estimated as sea fog is corrected by comparing the average reflectance with the surrounding region. The improved algorithm has been verified by comparing the fog images of the Cheollian satellite (COMS: Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) as well as the visibility data from the Korea Meteorological Administration.

In this study, we investigated the kinematical properties of the L1521F-IRS in Taurus region using HCN (J=1-0) molecular line. The high resolution mapping has carried out by $5{\times}5$ point observations covering $3.7'{\times}3.7'$ area using a 12-m telescope of Arizona Radio Observatory in Tucsan, USA. L1521F which harbors the faint infrared L1521F-IRS, displayed a strong central concentration of integrated intensity in HCN without serious molecular depletion. It showed a symmetric kinematical structure with the opposite infall motion in either side of the central cores. It is a direct evidence of bipolar outflows in the core of L1521F.

농업과 환경분야에서 토양 상태를 신속하고 주기적으로 모니터링하는 것에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 토양의 특성을 측정하는 기존의 화학분석 방식은 분석의 정밀도, 시료의 수, 분석항목 등에 따라 시간, 인력, 비용적 소모가 커진다. 최근에는 식품, 농업, 환경 분야에서 신속하고 비파괴적 분석 방법으로 가시 근적외선 분광학을 도입하고 있다. 가시 근적외선 영역(VNIR, 400-2400 nm)에는 다양한 물질의 고유한 흡수분광형태가 존재한다는 이론적 토대로부터 물질의 정성 정량적 분석이 가능하다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 VNIR 분광 스펙트럼으로부터 Al, organic carbon (OC), clay, silt, sand, CEC (Cation exchange capacity), CEC/clay 등의 토양 특성을 정량하고자 하였다. 농경지에서 채취한 94개 토양시료를 기존의 화학분석 방법으로 분석하고 실내에서 VNIR 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 스펙트럼은 원시형태와, 1차, 2차 도함수로 변환된 형태 모두 partial least square regression (PLSR) 모델에 적용하였다. PLSR에 의한 토양특성 추정식은 RMSE, $R^2$, SDE, RPD 값을 이용하여 검증하였다. Al, OC, silt, sand 함량에 대해서는 통계적으로 유의한 수준의 추정값을 산출하였고, clay와 CEC/clay에 대해 추정한 값은 실측값과 약한 상관성을 나타내었다. 이러한 분광학적인 추정 기법은 영상을 이용한 정성 정량분석에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
