The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength of the near-UV wavelength of 380 nm relative to visible and near-IR bands, and to find the suitable wavelength for detecting aerosols by using the Global Imager (GLI) sensor aboard the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II). Sensitivity analysis is performed for the retrieval of biomass burning aerosols by employing the radiative transfer model Rstar5b. It is determined that background surface reflectance in the blue band is similar to that in the near-UV band, and that wavelengths in the blue bands are more sensitive to the Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) than wavelengths in the near-UV band. The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Aerosol Index (AI) is used in the indirect method used for aerosol retrieval, and the wavelength pair 380 nm and 460 nm is determined to be the most sensitive to the AOT. The results of this study suggest that wavelengths in the blue bands are suitable for detecting biomass burning aerosols over the Korean peninsula.

일본은 향후 2014년으로 발사가 예정되어 있는 GCOM-C를 이용하여 지구 복사량 및 탄소의 변화량, 해색정보, 에어로졸 분포 등을 측정할 계획을 추진 중이다. 특히, GCOM-C에는 SGLI-VNR과 SGLI-IRS로 구성되어 있는 SGLI를 탑재하고 있으며, 각각 가시영역/근적외영역과 적외영역의 영상을 측정하도록 설계될 예정이다. SGLI는 최신 성능을 갖춘 설계부분과 함께 기본적인 기능 및 구조 등은 지금까지 일본에서 개발되어진 여러 광학 탑재체들의 개발기술들을 바탕으로 구현됨으로써, 개발위험을 최소화 하는 전략을 취하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지금까지 일본이 개발한 여러 광학 탑재체들의 특성들을 채널별(가시영역/근적외영역과 적외영역)로 비교 및 검토하면서, 향후 개발 완료될 SGLI의 특성을 이해하고 일본의 광학탑재체 개발 경향에 대한 분석을 수행하고자 한다.

The Far-UltraViolet (FUV) imager onboard the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) spacecraft provides two-dimensional limb images of oxygen airglow in the nightside low-latitude ionosphere that are used to determine the oxygen ion density. As yet, no FUV limb imager has been used for climatological analyses of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs). To examine the potential of ICON/FUV for this purpose, we statistically investigate small-scale (~180 km) fluctuations of oxygen ion density in its limb images. The seasonal-longitudinal variations of the fluctuation level reasonably conform to the EPB statistics in existing literature. To further validate the ICON/FUV data quality, we also inspect climatology of the ambient (unfiltered) nightside oxygen ion density. The ambient density exhibits (1) the well-known zonal wavenumber-4 signatures in the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) and (2) off-equatorial enhancement above the Caribbean, both of which agree with previous studies. Merits of ICON/FUV observations over other conventional data sets are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, we suggest possible directions of future work, e.g., synergy between ICON/FUV and the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission.

Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI) is a payload on the Korean Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) to perform global ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography. HOMPSAT was launched 21 December 1999. The radiometric performance of OSMI is analyzed for various gain settings in the viewpoint of the instrument developer for OSMI calibration and application based on its ground performance data measured before launch. The radiometric response linearity and dynamic range are analyzed and the dynamic range is compared with the nominal input radiance for the ocean and the land. The noise equivalent radiance (NER) corresponding to the instrument radiometric noise is compared with the radiometric resolution of signal digitization (1-count equivalent radiance). The best gain setting of OSMI for ocean monitoring is recommended. This analysis is considered to be useful for the OSMI mission and operation planning, the OSMI image data calibration, and users' understanding about OSMI image quality.

CMDPS (COMS Meteorological Data Processing System) is the operational meteorological products extraction system for data observed from COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) meteorological imager. CMDPS baseline products consist of 16 parameters including cloud information, water vapor products, surface information, environmental products and atmospheric motion vector. Additionally, CMDPS includes the function of calibration monitoring, and validation mechanism of the baseline products. The main objective of CMDPS validation module development is near-real time monitoring for the accuracy and reliability of the whole CMDPS products. Also, its long time validation statistics are used for upgrade of CMDPS such as algorithm parameter tuning and retrieval algorithm modification. This paper introduces the preliminary design on CMDPS validation module.

세계 최초로 개발된 정지궤도 해색탑재체(GOCI-I, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-I)이 2010년 6월에 발사될 예정이다. GOCI-I의 수명은 약 7년 이므로 위성개발 소요기간 약 6년을 고려하면 제2호 정지궤도 해색탑재체의 개발을 위한 임무 및 이용자 요구사양을 준비해야할 시점이 되었다. 제2호의 임무는 우선 1호의 임무를 승계하는 것이므로 제1호와 유사한 관측 임무를 갖지만 가장 큰 차이점은 장기 기후 변화에 대응한 지구규모적 관측에 있다. 그리고 기존의 Local 관측은 그 공간해상도의 성능을 더 향상시킨 $250m{\times}250m$로 하였고, 1호에 비하여 부족한 band 수를 보강하여 12 개로 하였다. 어장정보를 위한 야간 관측을 위한 Panchromatic band를 추가하였다. 동시에 한반도 주변 고정된 영역 관측기능을 구름이 없는 해역 혹은 special event area로 신축적으로 변경 시킬 수 있는 기능을 갖게 함으로써 위성자료의 활용도를 크게 높이었다. 위성 운용은 1호와 같은 일 8회 관측, 그리고 Global mode인 full disk 관측에서는 일 1-2회 정도 관측할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 지금까지 위성개발 추진방법의 문제점을 해소한 개선된 개발 추진 방안에 대하여서도 제시하였다. 그 외 제2호의 하드웨어적인 구조 및 디자인에 대하여서는 국내외 개발사와의 상호협의가 필요하다.

통신해양기상위성은 다목적 정지궤도위성으로서 Ka대역 통신탑재체, 기상센서 및 해양센서를 하나의 위성플랫폼에 탑재한 복합위성이다. 본 논문에서는 한국정부의 자금으로 개발되는 첫번째 혁신적인 정지궤도 통신해양기상위성 프로그램에 대해서 소개하고자 한다. 위성플랫폼은 아스트리움의 EUROSTAR 3000 통신위성을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 세 개의 다른 탑재체를 효과적으로 수용하기 위하여 화성탐사선 Express를 일부 활용하였다. 세개의 탑재체 중 통신탑재체는 스위칭 다중빔 기술을 검증하고 광대역 멀티미디어 통신서비스를 시험하는데 목적이 있다. 기상센서임무는 고해상도 멀티분광 센서로 지속적으로 한반도 기상데이타를 산출하는데 있으며, 세계 최초의 정지궤도 해양센서는 한반도의 어류자원정보 및 장단기 해양정보의 모니터링을 목적으로 하고 있다. 통신임무와 원격탐사임무를 동시에 수행해야 하므로 위성체의 요구사항은 매우 복잡하여 이를 만족시키기 위한 설계 및 조립/시험의 난이도는 매 우 높다고 할 수 있겠다.

Jang Bogo Station (JBS), the second Korean Antarctic research station, was established in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica ($74.62^{\circ}S$ $164.22^{\circ}E$) in February 2014 in order to expand the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) research capabilities. One of the main research areas at JBS is space environmental research. The goal of the research is to better understand the general characteristics of the polar region ionosphere and thermosphere and their responses to solar wind and the magnetosphere. Ground-based observations at JBS for upper atmospheric wind and temperature measurements using the Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) began in March 2014. Ionospheric radar (VIPIR) measurements have been collected since 2015 to monitor the state of the polar ionosphere for electron density height profiles, horizontal density gradients, and ion drifts. To investigate the magnetosphere and geomagnetic field variations, a search-coil magnetometer and vector magnetometer were installed in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Since JBS is positioned in an ideal location for auroral observations, we installed an auroral all-sky imager with a color sensor in January 2018 to study substorms as well as auroras. In addition to these observations, we are also operating a proton auroral imager, airglow imager, global positioning system total electron content (GPS TEC)/scintillation monitor, and neutron monitor in collaboration with other institutes. In this article, we briefly introduce the observational activities performed at JBS and the preliminary results of these observations.

Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI) is a payload on the KOMPSAT satellite to perform global ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography. The instrument images the ocean surface using a wisk-broom motion with a swath width of 800km and a ground sample distance (GSD) of < 1km over the entire field of view (FOV). The instrument is designed to have an on-orbit operation duty cycle of 20% over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset and on-board image data compression/storage. The instrument also performs sun and dark calibration for on-board instrument calibration. The OSMI instrument is a multi-spectral imager covering the spectral range from 400nm to 900nm using CCD Focal Plane Array (FPA). The ocean colors are monitored using 6 spectral channels that can be selected via ground commands. KOMPSAT satellite with OSMI was integrated and the satellite level environment tests including instrument aliveness/functional test, such as launch environment, on-orbit environment (Thermal/Vacuum) and EMI/EMC test were performed at KARl. Test results met the requirements and the OSMI data were collected and analyzed during each test phase. The instrument is launched on the KOMPSAT satellite on December 21,1999 and is scheduled to start collecting ocean color data in the early 2000 upon completion of on-orbit instrument checkout.
