  • The diffuse attenuation coefficient for down-welling irradiance ($K_d$) is an important parameter for ocean studies including remote sensing applications. For the vast ocean, ocean color remote sensing is the only possible means to get the fine-scale measurements of $K_d$. To develop a technique of estimating $K_d$ from remotely sensed data, the following underwater optical parameters (absorption coefficient (a), attenuation coefficient (c), scattering coefficient (b), diffuse attenuation coefficient ($K_d$), etc.) have been studied. For this research we conducted the field campaign around the Yellow Sea at $8{\sim}9$ June, 2006. We obtained a set of underwater optical parameter data: down-welling irradiance ($E_d$), up-welling irradiance ($E_u$) and up-welling radiance ($L_u$) using TriOS optical sensors and a, c coefficient using Spectral Absorption and Attenuation Meter (AC-S). We then derived $K_d$ values from $E_d$ for each depth.

  • 수중에서의 하향 방향의 감쇠 계수 (Diffuse attenuation coefficient of down-welling irradiance, $K_d$)에 대한 연구는 상충 해양에 대한 열전달 수중에서의 광합성 및 다른 생물학적 과정에 대한 연구,해양 일차 생산력 추정, 대양 및 연안에서의 탁도 추정 등에 대한 연구의 보조 자료로서 해양원격탐사를 포함한 해양에 대한 연구에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 우리나라는 세계 최초의 정지궤도 해색 센서인 Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI)를 2008년 말에 통신해양기상위성 (COMS, Communication Ocean and Meteorological Satellite)에 탑재하여 쏘아 올릴 계획에 있다. 이 센서는 매일 한 시간 간격으로 한반도 주변 해역을 8회 이상 관측할 계획에 었다. 따라서 기존의 해색 센서들에 비해서 시간 해상도가 향상되기 때문에 해양 환경 모니터링에 있어서 많은 도움이 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 앞으로 운영될 GOCI 센서에 대한 수중에서의 하향 방향의 감쇠계수 (The diffuse attenuation coefficient of down-welling irradiance, $K_d$) 알고리즘을 현장 관측 값을 이용하여 미리 만들어 보고 이를 현재의 대표적인 해색 센서인 SeaWiFS 영상의$K_d$(490) product와 비교하여 보았다.

  • The diffuse attenuation coefficient for down-welling irradiance $K_d({\lambda})$, which is the propagation of down-welling irradiance at wavelength ${\lambda}$ from surface to a depth (z) in the ocean, and underwater visibility are important optical parameters for ocean studies. There have been several studies on $K_d({\lambda})$ and underwater visibility around the world, but only a few studies have focused on these properties in the Korean sea. Therefore, in the present study, we studied $K_d({\lambda})$ and underwater visibility around the coastal area of the Yellow Sea, and developed $K_d({\lambda})$ and underwater visibility algorithms for ocean color satellite sensor. For this research we conducted a field campaign around the Yellow Sea from $19{\sim}22$ September, 2006 and there we obtained a set of ocean optical and environmental data. From these datasets the $K_d({\lambda})$ and underwater visibility algorithms were empirically derived and compared with the existing NASA SeaWiFS $K_d({\lambda})$ algorithm and NRL (Naval Research Laboratory) underwater visibility algorithm. Such comparisons over a turbid area showed small difference in the $K_d({\lambda})$ algorithm and constants of our result for underwater visibility algorithm showed slightly higher values.
