지구 관측용 위성의 한 종류인 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 위성은 지구의 영상 획득 시, 주변 환경의 영향을 받지 않는다는 장점이 있어 현재까지 많은 수가 개발되었다. 높은 영상 품질을 얻기 위해 SAR 안테나는 큰 직경을 가져야 한다. 그러나 위성을 우주까지 운반하는 발사체의 내부 공간은 한정적이므로 SAR 안테나는 발사체 내부 배치 시에는 접어놓았다가 우주에서는 펼쳐질 수 있는 전개형으로 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 위성의 목표 임무를 고려하여 전개형 위성 안테나의 메커니즘과 관련된 설계 요소 값들을 선정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 전개형 위성 안테나의 형상을 설계하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 위성 기동 시 전개형 위성 안테나에 발생하는 변화를 관찰하였다.

합성 개구면 레이다(synthetic aperture radar: SAR) 위성은 주 야와 날씨에 관계없이 객체의 전자기적 산란분포를 2차원 영상으로 제공할 수 있기 때문에, 광학 위성에 비해 객체 분석에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. SAR 위성의 지구 관측주기를 고려한다면, 한 번에 넓은 범위를 관측하는 것이 객체분석에 유리하다. 하지만, 관측범위가 넓어질수록 위성 SAR 영상의 해상도가 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 이는 기존 레이다 신호처리에 이용되었던 해상도 향상 기법을 이용하여 극복될 수 있지만, 아직 해상도 향상 기법을 위성 SAR 영상에 적용하여 그 성능을 분석한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위성 SAR 영상에 대한 기존 해상도 기법의 적용 가능성을 탐색하는 연구를 수행한다. 구체적으로, 한국항공우주연구원에서 운용 중인 다목적실용위성 5호(Korea multi-purpose satellite-5: KOMPSAT-5) 영상에 객체 탐지를 수행하고, 외삽(extrapolation), RELAX(relaxation), MUSIC(multiple signal classification) 기법을 적용하여 해상도를 향상시킨 후, 그 성능을 분석한다.

초고해상 음향탐사는 기존의 고해상 음향탐사보다 투과력은 작지만 해상력이 뛰어나기 때문에 천해역에서의 해저환경조사에 유용하게 사용된다. 특히 상부 퇴적층의 정밀 층후 및 퇴적구조 확인을 통해 해저에 파묻혀 있는 pipeline, 침몰선박, 인위적 물체 등에 대한 탐색에 이용된다. 이 연구에서는 초고해상 지층탐사기를 이용하여 얻어진 지층탐사 기록과 지질자료를 대비하여 오염퇴적층을 구분하였다. 그리고 지층 기록에 나타나는 음향이상을 해석하여 해저에 매설된 케이블의 매설 깊이를 검측하였다.

Numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of data assimilation of observational data on weather and PM (particulate matter) prediction. Observational data applied to numerical experiment are aircraft observation, satellite observation, upper level observation, and AWS (automatic weather system) data. In the case of grid nudging, the prediction performance of the meteorological field is largely improved compared with the case without data assimilations because the overall pressure distribution can be changed. So grid nudging effect can be significant when synoptic weather pattern strongly affects Korean Peninsula. Predictability of meteorological factors can be expected to improve through a number of observational data assimilation, but data assimilation by single data often occurred to be less predictive than without data assimilation. Variation of air pressure due to observation nudging with high prediction efficiency can improve prediction accuracy of whole model domain. However, in areas with complex terrain such as the eastern part of the Korean peninsula, the improvement due to grid nudging were only limited. In such cases, it would be more effective to aggregate assimilated data.

최근 복합적 대형 재난이 빈번히 발생하면서 전지구적인 재해 재난 모니터링을 위해 인공위성 센서, 항공/지상 LiDAR 등 다양한 관측센서들이 활용되고 있다. 특히, 전지구를 주기적 반복적으로 관측하며 cm급 고해상도 공간 영상정보를 제공하는 상업 위성은 국가적 재해 재난 발생에 대한 전조 모니터링에서부터 신속한 복구 등 재해 재난업무에 그 활용범위가 확대되고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 독자적 위성운용 시스템만으로는 광역적이고 준실시간적 대응을 요하는 재해 재난 상황 대응에는 한계가 있으므로, 다중 센서가 탑재된 탑재체 운용, 여러 대의 탑재체를 연동하여 적시에 위성영상을 확보하기 위한 긴밀한 국제적 협력체계가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지난 2011년 발생했던 국내 폭설 및 집중호우 재난 대응을 위해 국립방재연구원과 국제재난기구인 International Charter와의 협업을 통하여 신속한 위성영상 수급과 자료처리, GIS 분석, 지도화(mapping)함으로써 적시적으로 의사결정지원이 가능한 재난관리 체계를 제시하였다.

The land surface reflectance is a key parameter influencing the climate near the surface. Therefore, it must be determined with sufficient accuracy for climate change research. In particular, the characteristics of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) when using earth observation system (EOS) are important for normalizing the reflected solar radiation from the earth's surface. Also, wide swath satellites like SPOT/VGT (VEGETATION) permit sufficient angular sampling, but high resolution satellites are impossible to obtain sufficient angular sampling over a pixel during short period because of their narrow swath scanning. This gives a difficulty to BRDF model based reflectance normalization of high resolution satellites. The principal objective of the study is to add BRDF modeling of high resolution satellites and to supply insufficient angular sampling through identifying BRDF components from SPOT/VGT. This study is performed as the preliminary data for apply to high-resolution satellite. The study provides surface parameters by eliminating BRD effect when calculated biophysical index of plant by BRDF model. We use semi-empirical BRDF model to identify the BRD components. This study uses SPOT/VGT satellite data acquired in the S1 (daily) data. Modeled reflectance values show a good agreement with measured reflectance values from SPOT satellite. This study analyzes BRD effect components by using the NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and the angle components such as solar zenith angle, satellite zenith angle and relative azimuth angle. Geometric scattering kernel mainly depends on the azimuth angle variation and volumetric scattering kernel is less dependent on the azimuth angle variation. Also, forest from land cover shows the wider distribution of value than cropland, overall tendency is similar. Forest shows relatively larger value of geometric term ($K_1{\cdot}f_1$) than cropland, When performed comparison between cropland and forest. Angle and NDVI value are closely related.

The Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS) is an international partnership sponsored by World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to continue and improve climate monitoring and to ensure consistent accuracy between observation data from meteorological satellites operating around the world. The objective for GSICS is to inter-calibration from pairs of satellites observations, which includes direct comparison of collocated Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO)-Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observations. One of the GSICS inter-calibration methods, the Ray-matching technique, is a surrogate approach that uses matched, co-angled and co-located pixels to transfer the calibration from a well calibrated satellite sensor to another sensor. In Korea, the first GEO satellite, Communication Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS), is used to participate in the GSICS program. The National Meteorological Satellite Center (NMSC), which operated COMS/MI, calculated the Radiative Transfer Model (RTM)-based GSICS coefficient coefficients. The L1P reproduced through GSICS correction coefficient showed lower RMSE and Bias than L1B without GSICS correction coefficient applied. The calculation cycles of the GSICS correction coefficients for COMS/MI visible channel are provided annual and diurnal (2, 5, 10, 14-day), but long-term evaluation according to these cycles was not performed. The purpose of this paper is to perform evaluation depending on the annual/diurnal cycles of COMS/MI GSICS correction coefficients based on the ray-matching technique using Suomi-NPP/Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data as reference data. As a result of evaluation, the diurnal cycle had a higher coincidence rate with the reference data than the annual cycle, and the 14-day diurnal cycle was the most suitable for use as the GSICS correction coefficient.

In this study, steric height variability in the East Asian Seas (EAS) has been analyzed by using ocean reanalysis intercomparison project (ORA-IP) data. Results show that there are significant correlations between ocean reanalysis and satellite data except the phase of annual cycle and interannual signals of the Yellow Sea. Reanalysis ensemble derived from 15-different assimilation systems depicts higher correlation (0.706) than objective analysis ensemble (0.296) in the EAS. This correlation coefficient is also much higher than that of the global ocean (0.441). For the long-term variability of the thermosteric sea level during 1993-2010, a significant warming trend is found in the East/Japan Sea, while cooling trend is shown around the Kuroshio extension area. For the halosteric sea level, a dominant freshening trend is found in the EAS. However, below 300 m depth around this area, the signal-to-noise ratio of the linear trend is generally less than one, which is related to the low density of observation data.

Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) has issued the tropical storm(typhoon) warning or advisories when it was developed to tropical storm from tropical depression and a typhoon is expected to influence the Korean peninsula and adjacent seas. Typhoon information includes current typhoon position and intensity. KMA has used the Dvorak Technique to analyze the center of typhoon and it's intensity by using available geostationary satellites' images such as GMS, GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R since 2001. The Dvorak technique is so subjective that the analysis results could be variable according to analysts. To reduce the subjective errors, QuikSCAT seawind data have been used with various analysis data including sea surface temperature from geostationary meteorological satellites, polar orbit satellites, and other observation data. On the other hand, there is an advantage of using the Subjective Dvorak Technique(SDT). SDT can get information about intensity and center of typhoon by using only infrared images of geostationary meteorology satellites. However, there has been a limitation to use the SDT on operational purpose because of lack of observation and information from polar orbit satellites such as SSM/I. Therefore, KMA has established Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique(AODT) system developed by UW/CIMSS(University of Wisconsin-Madison/Cooperative Institude for Meteorological Satellite Studies) to improve current typhoon analysis technique, and the performance has been tested since 2005. We have developed statistical relationships to correct AODT CI numbers according to the SDT CI numbers that have been presumed as truths of typhoons occurred in northwestern pacific ocean by using linear, nonlinear regressions, and neural network principal component analysis. In conclusion, the neural network nonlinear principal component analysis has fitted best to the SDT, and shown Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) 0.42 and coefficient of determination($R^2$) 0.91 by using MTSAT-1R satellite images of 2005. KMA has operated typhoon intensity analysis using SDT and AODT since 2006 and keep trying to correct CI numbers.
