A synthetic infrared image can be effectively utilized in various fields such as the recognition and tracking of targets as long as its quality is good enough to reflect the real situations. One way to improve its quality is to use the reference atmosphere which best describes atmospheric properties of regional areas. The east asian reference atmosphere has been developed to represent atmospheric properties of the east asia including Korean peninsula. However, few research has been conducted to examine the effects of this east asian reference atmosphere on the modeling and simulation. In this regard, this paper analyzes the effects of the east asian reference atmosphere on a synthetic infrared image. The research compares the atmospheric transmittance, the surface temperature, and the radiance obtained by using the east asian reference atmosphere with those of the midlatitude reference atmosphere which has been widely applied in the east asia. The results show that the differences of the atmospheric transmittance, the surface temperature, and the radiance between the east asian reference atmosphere and the midlatitude reference atmosphere are significant especially during the daytime. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the east asian reference atmosphere for generating a synthetic infrared image with targets in the east asia.

Eight different data sets are examined in order to gain insight into the surface heat flux traits of the East Asian marginal seas. In the case of solar radiation of the East Sea (Japan Sea), Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments ver. 2 (CORE2) and the Objectively Analyzed Air-Sea Fluxes (OAFlux) are similar to the observed data at meteorological stations. A combination is sought by averaging these as well as the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)-1 data to acquire more accurate surface heat flux for the East Asian marginal seas. According to the Combination Data, the annual averages of net heat flux of the East Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea are -61.84, -22.42, and $-97.54Wm^{-2}$, respectively. The Kuroshio area to the south of Japan and the southern East Sea were found to have the largest upward annual mean net heat flux during winter, at -460- -300 and at $-370--300Wm^{-2}$, respectively. The long-term fluctuation (1984-2004) of the net heat flux shows a trend of increasing transport of heat from the ocean into the atmosphere throughout the study area.
