  • The Tonle Sap, Cambodia, is a huge lake and periodically flooded due to monsoon climate. The incoming water causes intensive flooding that expands the lake over vast floodplain and wetland consisting mainly of forests and shrubs. Monitoring the water-level change over the floodplain is essential for flood prediction and water resource management. A main objective of this study is flood monitoring over Tonle Sap area using ALOS PALSAR. To study double-bounce effects in the lake, backscattering effect using ALOS PALSAR dual-polarization (HH, HV) data was examined. InSAR technique was applied for detection of water-level change. HH-polarization interferometric pairs between wet and dry seasons were best to measure water level change around northwestern parts of Tonle Sap. The seasonal pattern of water-level variations in Tonle Sap studied by InSAR method is similar to the past and altimeter data. However, water level variation measured by SAR was much smaller than that by altimeter because the DInSAR measurement only represents water level change at a given region of floodplain while altimeter provides water level variation at the central parts of the lake.

  • The tungsten oxide thin films were prepared on $s_i$ wafer by using an electron-beam evaporation technique. Thickness and structure of tungsten oxide film degraded in various electrolytes were analyzed by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. Thickness of $WO_3$ film was the most dissolved in 1M $H_2SO_4$ electrolytye. We have confirmed that the degradation of this films was accelerated by $H_2O$ in electrolytes. But the electronic structure of film degraded by electrolyte contained of glycerol was not changed as comparision with as-deposited film. The degradation may be attributed to a change of thickness and the surface morphology of the film.

  • The ocean signal that reaches the detector of an imaging system after multiple interactions with the atmospheric molecules and aerosols was retrieved from the total signal recorded at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). A simple method referred to as 'Path Extraction' applied to the Landsat-TM ocean imagery of turbid coastal water was compared with the conventional dark-pixel subtraction technique. The shape of the path-extracted water-leaving radiance spectrum resembled the radiance spectrum measured in-situ. The path-extraction was also extended to the SeaWiFS ocean color imagery and compared with the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm, which relays on the assumption of zero water leaving radiance at the two NIR wavebands (765 and 865nm). The path-extracted water-leaving radiance was good agreement with the measured radiance spectrum. In contrast, the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm led to essential underestimation of the water-leaving radiance in the blue-green part of the spectrum. The reason is that the assumption of zero water-leaving radiance at 755 and 865nm fails due to backscattering by suspended mineral particles. Therefore, the near infrared channels 765 and 865nm used fur deriving the aerosol information are no longer valid for turbid coastal waters. The path-extraction is identified as a simple and efficient method of extracting the path radiance largely introduced due to light interaction through the complex atmosphere carried several aerosol and gaseous components and at the air-sea interface.interface.

  • Due to the miniaturization of semiconductor devices, their crystal structure on the nanoscale must be analyzed. However, scanning electron microscope-electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has a limitation of resolution in nanoscale and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) can be used to analyze restrictive local structural information. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) automated crystal orientation and phase mapping using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (3D TEM-EBSD) was used to identify the crystal structure relationship between an epitaxially grown CdS interfacial layer and a $Cu(In_xGa_{x-1})Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cell layer. The 3D TEM-EBSD technique clearly defined the crystal orientation and phase of the epitaxially grown layers, making it useful for establishing the growth mechanism of functional nano-materials.

  • Ocean remote sensing reflectance of just above water level was modeled using inherent optical properties of seawater contents, total absorption (a) and backscattering(bb) coefficients ($R_{rs}$=0.046 $b_b$/(a+$b_b$). This modeling was based on the specific absorption and backscattering coefficients of 5 optically active seawater components; phytoplankton pigments, non-chlorophyllous suspended particles, dissolved organic matters, heterotrophic microorganisms, and the other unknown particle components. Simulated remote sensing reflectance($R_{rs}$) and water leaving radiance(Lw) spectra were well agreed with in-situ measurements obtained using a bi-directional fields remote spectrometer in coastal waters and open ocean. $R_{rs}$ values in SeaWiFS bands from the model were analyzed to develop 2-band ratio ocean color chlorophyll with those observed insitu. Also, chlorophyll algorithm based on remote reflectance developed in this study fell in those obtained by a SeaBAM working group. The model algorithms were examined and compared with those observed insitu. Also, chlorophyll algorithm based on remote reflectance developed in this study fell in those obtained by a SeaBAM working group. The remote reflectance model will be very helpful to understand the variation of water leaving radiances caused by the various components in the seawater, and to develop new ocean color algorithm for CASE-II water using neural network method or other analytical method, and in the model of fine atmospheric signal correction.

  • It is very important for ultrasonic test method to evaluate the integrity of the class I components in nuclear power plants. However, as the rltrasonic test is affected by internal structures and configurations of test materials, backscattering, that is, time invariant noise is generated in large grain size materials. Due to the above reason, the received signal results in low signal to noise(S/N) ratio. Split spectrum processing(SSP) technique is effective to suppress the grain noise. The conventional SSP technique. however, has been applied to unique algorithm. This paper shows that MPO(minimization and polarity threshold) algorithm which two algorithms are applied simulatancously, was utilized, the signal processing time was shorten by using the new constant-Q SSP with the FIR filter which frequency to bandwidth ratio is constant and the optimum parameters were analysed for the signal processing to longitudinal wave and shear wave with the same requirements of inspection on nuclear power plant site. Moreover, the new ultrasonic test instrument, the reference block of the same product form and material specification, stainless stell test specimens and copper test specimens block of the same fabricated for the application of new SSP technique. As the result of experimental test with new ultrasonic test instrument and test specimens, the signal to noise ratio was improved by appying the new SSP technique.

  • An improved numerical scattering model with the 2-dimensional moment method including roof-top basis and a modified window-function to reduce edge-effect is presented in this study. The roof-top basis function is used to depict randomly positioned surface currents and increase an efficiency of the moment method. To reduce the edge-effect which occurs at the end of numerically generated surfaces, an enhanced window-function which is weighted by incident angle variable is proposed. To validate an proposed 2-dimensional scattering model and numerical analysis techniques for randomly rough surfaces, computational results are compared and analyzed to SPM(Small Perturbation Model) as well.

  • The distribution and abundance of coastal fish species in Asan Bay, Korea, were estimated from hydroacoustic survey and net catches. Acoustic data were collected with 38 and 200 kHz from July to October of 2012, and converted to the nautical area scattering coefficient (NASC, $m^2/mile^2$) for $0.25n{\cdot}mile$ along ten transects. Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus was the dominant specie in the net catches. The virtual echogram technique was used to distinguish E. japonicus from other species based on the differences in the mean volume backscattering strength (${\Delta}MVBS$) at 38 and 200 kHz. Engraulis japonicus and other fishes are mainly distributed in the center channel and outer part of Asan Bay. E. japonicus tends to move from inner to outer Asan Bay in summer and fall. From NASC data, the target strength and length-weight function of E. japonicus and other fishes were used to estimate the E. japonicus stock at 24.1-93.3 tons, and other fish at 40.6-88.4 tons from July to October 2012. The estimated anchovy biomass compared well with the cumulative catch weight from stow net catches. The hydroacoustic method offers an approach to understanding spatial/temporal structure and estimating the biomass of fish aggregations in coastal areas.

  • 본 논문은 지표면 현상의 관측에 날씨의 영향을 거의 받지 않는 마이크로파 L-밴드(1.95 GHz)와 C-밴드(5.3 GHz) scatterometer 시스템을 이용하여 농업과학기술원 내의 논에서 자라는 추청벼를 대상으로 2006년 5월 29일부터 10월 9일까지 생육에 따른 군락의 후방산란계수를 관측한 데이터와 작물의 생육과의 관계를 살펴보고 또한,측정 시스템의 개요,측정 시스템의 보정 방법들을 기술하고자 한다. Scatterometer 시스템의 송 수신기로 HP 8753D 벡터 네트워크 분석기를 사용하며,타워 위에 안테나를 설치하여 3.4 m의 높이에서 측정하도록 하였다. L-밴 드와 C-밴드 scatterometer는 VV-, VH-, HV-, HH-편파를 측정하여 fully polarimetric한 데이터를 얻도록 설계된 레이더시스템으로 입사각을 $30^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$에서 $10^{\circ}$간격으로 각각 30개의 독립적인 샘플을 측정하여 통계적으로 후방산란계수를 얻었다. 타워에서 발생하는 전파 잡음과 안테나 패턴의 부엽에 의한 지면에서의 수직반사(coherent 성분) 전파를 제거하기 위해 네트워크 분석기의 time gating 기능을 사용하며,55 cm 크기의 trihedral 전파반사기를 보정용 반사기로 사용하고, STCT(single target calibration technique) 방법을 이용하여 시스템을 보정하였다. 측정 결과를 분석하여 주파수, 입사각도, 편파의 변화에 대한 벼의 후방산란 특성과 벼의 생육상태과의 관계를 살펴보았다. L-밴드와 C-밴드 모두 벼의 생육과 밀접한 결과를 나타내었으나,입사각이 작을 때는 C-밴드와의 상관이 높게 나타났고 입사각이 커질수록 L-밴드와의 상관이 높게 나타났다. 편파는 L-밴드 와 C-밴드 모두 hh 편파가,입사각은 50도에서 가장 생육의 변이를 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 생육 데이터 모두를 이용한 경우보다는 유수형성기 또는 출수기 등 벼 생육의 질적인 변화를 보이는 시기에 따라 나누어 분석하는 것이 변화추이를 더 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • New single-source precursor, [AlCI3:NH2tBu] was synthesized for AlN thin f film processing with AICI3 (Aluminum Chloride) and tBuNH2 (tert-butylamine). AlN thin films for packaging aspplication were deposited on sapphire substrate by a atmosph하ie-pressure MOCVD. In most of other study methyl-based AI precursors w were used for source, But herein Aluminum Chloride was used for as AI source i in order to prevent the carbon contamination in the films and stabilize the p precursor. New precursor showed the very high gas vapor pressure so it allowed to m make the film under atmospheric-pressure and get the high purified film. High q quality AlN thin film was obtained at 700 to $900^{\circ}C$. The new precursor was p purified by a sublimation technique and help to fabricate high purity film. It s showed high vapor pressure, which is able to a critieal factor for the high purity a and atmospheric CVD of AlN. High Quality AIN thin film was obtained at $700-900^{\circ}C$. The AIN film was characterized by RBS
