  • 이 연구에서는 상용 디지털 카메라를 이용하여 야간에 촬영된 월면 영상을 분석하여 야간의 대기 광학두께와 에어로솔 광학두께를 추정하였다. 기본적으로 랑리회귀법을 이용하였으며 구름이 없고 대기의 광학적 특성이 비교적 안정한 날에 관측을 수행하였다. 카메라의 적색(R), 녹색(G), 청색(B) 채널의 파장별 반응함수를 이용하여 월광관측에 대한 유효 중심파장 및 레일리 광학두께를 추정하였으며, 랑리 회귀법에서 유도된 대기광학두께로부터 레일리 광학두께를 제하여 에어로솔 광학 두께를 산출하였다. 야간에는 독립적인 방법으로 산출된 검증자료나 다른 에어로솔 광학두께 자료가 거의 없으므로 월면 관측이 이루어지기 수 시간 전의 주간에 정밀한 태양분광광도계로 측정된 에어로솔 광학두께 자료와 MODIS 위성센서 관측으로부터 산출된 에어로솔 광학두께 자료를 본 연구에서 월면 관측을 통해 산출된 자료와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 R, G, B 채널에서 대략 0.1정도의 오차 범위에서 월면 영상분석을 통해 에어로솔 광학두께의 추정이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 단, 대기 중의 에어로솔 입자들의 크기를 나타내는 모수인 앙스트롬지수(${\AA}$ngstr$\ddot{o}$m Exponent)는 파장별 광학두께의 작은 오차에도 큰 오차를 가질 수 있기 때문에 에어로솔 광학두께의 오차에 비해 비교적 큰 오차를 보일 수 있음이 나타났다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 야간의 에어로솔 광학두께 자료가 많지 않은 현실에서 저비용으로 월면 관측을 통하여 에어로솔 광학두께를 산출할 수 있는 가능성을 찾았다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있으며 앞으로 보다 많은 관측과 분석을 통해 보다 향상된 야간 에어로솔 광학두께 추정이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

  • We have applied the TOMS aerosols retrieval algorithm to GLI measurements. TOMS has utilized the aerosol index, which is a measure of the change in spectral contrast due to the wavelength-dependent effects of aerosols. We have retrieved the GLI aerosol index, which is made by the pair of 380/400nm, 380/412nm, 380/460nm, and 412/460nm. We have found that the biomass burning aerosols represent the absorbing aerosols. In addition, the pair of 380/460nm has shown the best signal for detecting aerosols in Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and comparison of aerosol optical thickness from AERONET data. The theoretical aerosol index is also shown the best signal in the pair of 380/460nm.

  • The large amount of smoke produced near Lake Baikal was transported to Northeast Asia with high AOT (Aerosol Optical Thickness) as seen in satellite images. Aerosol retrieval using a separation technique was applied to MODIS (Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer) and SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) data observed during 14-22 May 2003. Large AOT, 2.0~5.0 was observed on 20 May 2003 over Korea due to the influence of the long range transport of smoke aerosol plume from the Russian fires, resulting in high PM10 concentration was observed at the surface.

  • Remote sensing of atmospheric aerosol using MODIS satellite data has been proven to be very useful in global/regional scale aerosol monitoring. Due to their large spatial resolution of $10km^2$ MODIS aerosol optical thickness (AOT) data have limitations for local/urban scale aerosol monitoring applications. Modified Bremen Aerosol Retrieval (BAER) algorithm developed by von Hoyningen-Huene et al. (2003) and Lee et al. (2005) has been applied in this study to retrieve AOT in fe resolutions of $500m^2$ over Korea. Look up tables (LUTs) were constructed from the aerosol properties based on sun-photometer observation and radiation transfer model calculations. It was found that relative error between the satellite products and the ground observations was within about $15\%$. Resulting AOT products were correlated with surface PMIO concentration data. There was good correlation between MODIS AOT and surface PM concentration under certain atmospheric conditions, which supports the feasibility of using the high-resolution MODIS AOT for local and urban scale air quality monitoring

  • 해색 센서인 SeaWIFS의 자료를 이용하여 황사의 광학적 성질과 황사가 해색 원격탐사에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 황사가 해색에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 황사현상이 나타났던 1998년 4월 18일과 맑은 날인 4월 25일의 자료를 선택하였다. NASA 표준 대기 보정 알고리즘은 황사의 영역을 복사휘도가 너무 크거나 또는 구름의 영역으로 간주하여 황사 지역에 대한 해색 정보를 생산하지 않고 있다. 4월 18일 동아시아 해양에 도착한 황사는 에어로졸의 광학적 두께의 관점에서 상대적으로 균질한 두 부류로 구성되어 있음을 보여주었다. 즉, 에어로졸 광학적 두께가 0.8 부근에 최대의값을 갖는 강한 황사와 0.4 부근의 값을 갖는 약한 황사가 존재하였다. 즉 에어로졸 광학적 두께가 0.8 부근에 최대의 값을 갖는 강항 황사와 0.4 부근의 값을 갖는 약한 황사가 존재하였으며, 이 값들은 지상의 관측 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 지상 일기도의 분석과 경로 역추적을 통해 얻은 황사의 이동은 약한 황사 영역이 먼지 폭풍의 가장자리로부터 기원하고 있음을 암시한다. 또한, 황사와 관련된 에어로졸 광학적 두께가 큰 영역은 dir 0.2 정도의 광학적 두께를 갖는 배경 에어로졸과 매우 다름을 알 수 있다. 이러한 에어로졸의 광학적 특성은 대기 보정 변수의 도입과 더불어 황사의 영역을 정량적으로 결정할 수있음을 가능케 하고 있다. 본 논문의 결과는 대기 보정 변수와 광학적 두께의 분산 그래프에 나타나는 특징을 황사 영역을 결정할 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • The GOCI atmospheric correction overland surfaces is essential for the time-series analysis of terrestrial environments with the very high temporal resolution. We develop an operational GOCI atmospheric correction method over land surfaces, which is rather different from the one developed for ocean surface. The GOCI atmospheric correction method basically reduces gases absorption and Rayleigh and aerosol scatterings and to derive surface reflectance from at-sensor radiance. We use the 6S radiative transfer model that requires several input parameters to calculate surface reflectance. In the sensitivity analysis, aerosol optical thickness was the most influential element among other input parameters including atmospheric model, terrain elevation, and aerosol type. To account for the highly variable nature of aerosol within the GOCI target area in northeast Asia, we generate the spatio-temporal aerosol maps using AERONET data for the aerosol correction. For a fast processing, the GOCI atmospheric correction method uses the pre-calculated look up table that directly converts at-sensor radiance to surface reflectance. The atmospheric correction method was validated by comparing with in-situ spectral measurements and MODIS reflectance products. The GOCI surface reflectance showed very similar magnitude and temporal patterns with the in-situ measurements and the MODIS reflectance. The GOCI surface reflectance was slightly higher than the in-situ measurement and MODIS reflectance by 0.01 to 0.06, which might be due to the different viewing angles. Anisotropic effect in the GOCI hourly reflectance needs to be further normalized during the following cloud-free compositing.

  • The influence of atmospheric aerosol on satellite ocean color data were evaluated using SeaWiFS monthly standard mapped image products. The atmospheric optical thickness (AOT) was increased in spring and summer, and it showed the strong positive correlation with remote sensing reflectance, normalized waterleaving radiance /solar irradiance, at 555 nm (Rrs555) which is a component of the satellite chlorophyll estimation. Such the high AOT and high Rrs555 pixels showed overestimation of satellite chlorophyll in spring, especially in the area which showed large phytoplankton absorption which 1s expressed by low remote sensing reflectance at 443, 490 and 510 nm (Rrs 443, Rrs490 and Rrs510).

  • A multi-spectral photometer was set up as an NASA/AERONET site at Kinki University campus in Higashi-Osaka in 2002 for measuring urban aerosols. In addition, the SPM-613D (Kimoto Electric) commenced measurement of suspended particles matter (SPM) as $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ on March 15, 2004 at the same AERONET site. The obtained results revealed that the poor air quality of the Higashi-Osaka site is due not only to anthropogenic particles from local emissions, such as diesel vehicles and chemical industries, but also to dust particles brought from continental desert areas by large scale climatic conditions. To understand the characteristics of background atmosphere over Higashi-Osaka, we examined the relationship between $PM_{2.5}$ concentration and aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at a wavelength of 0.87 μm based on AERONET data for background atmosphere (AOT<0.2). We obtained a linear regression line between AOT and $PM_{2.5}$ concentration. Using the linear relationships between AOT and $PM_{2.5}$, we show ground-level concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ of background atmosphere from Terra/MODIS satellite measurements.

  • Relatively simplified method for determination of surface reflectance has been used by using the ratio between SWIR and VIS band reflectance over land surface. The surface reflectance ratios (SWIR/VIS) were estimated over land in Korea from Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectre-radiometer (MODIS) L1 data. The ratios by using the minimum reflectance technique were lower than those by MODIS operational aerosol retrieval algorithm. Although the comparison between MODIS and sunphotometer Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) has a good correlation coefficient (R=0.84), slightly overestimated MODIS AOTs were shown with a slope of linear regression line of 0.89. The comparison between the ratio and AOT dearly exhibit that the error of MODIS AOT could be originated from the underestimated surface reflectances by MODIS operational algorithm.

  • Determining 'photosynthetically active radiation' (PAR) is a key part of calculating phytoplankton productivity in a biogeochemical model. We explore the daily and seasonal variability in the ratio of PAR irradiance to total irradiance that occurred at Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) in the East China Sea under clear-sky conditions in 2004 using a simple radiative transfer model (RTM). Meteorological data observed at IORS and aerosol optical properties derived from Aerosol Robotic Network observations at Gosan are used for the RTM. Preliminary results suggest that the use of simple PAR irradiance-ratio values is appropriate in calculating phytoplankton productivity as follows: an average of $0.44\;({\pm}0.01)$ in January to an average of $0.48\;({\pm}0.01)$ in July, with average daily variabilities over these periods of about $0.016\;({\pm}0.008)$ and $0.025\;({\pm}0.008)$, respectively. The model experiments demonstrate that variations in the major controlling input parameters (i.e. solar zenith angle, precipitable water vapor and aerosol optical thickness) cause PAR irradiance ratio variation at daily and seasonal timescales. Further, increases (>0.012) in the PAR irradiance ratio just below the sea-surface are positively correlated with high solar zenith angles and strong wind stresses relative to those just above the sea-surface.
