Precipitation measurement with ground-based radar needs an information of the raindrop size distribution (RSD) characteristics. A 10-month dataset was collected in tropical Atlantic coastal zone of northeastern Brazil where the weather radar was installed. The number of drop was mainly recorded in 300 - 500 drop $mm^{-3}$, of which the maximum was registered around 1.1 mm drop diameter.

연안 환경에 대한 효과적인 관측을 위해서는 높은 주기 및 공간 해상도의 지속적인 관측이 필요하다. 지상에 설치한 기기로부터 이루어지는 원격 관측은 소수의 현장 기기 개수로는 관측할 수 없는 넓은 범위의 해역을 통시에 관측할 수 있고 또한 높은 빈도의 지속적인 관측이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 연안 환경에 대한 대표적인 지상 원격 관측 기기인 마린 레이다와 카메라 시스템의 활용에 대하여 고찰해본다. 마린 레이다는 시간적으로 연속된 레이다 영상으로부터 파수 스펙트럼을 계산하고 이를 통합 적분하고 조정 전달함수를 적용하여 시간에 따른 주파수 스펙트럼을 산출할 수 있다. 또한 시간에 따른 파랑 레이다 영상을 평균함으로서 쇄파대와 이안류 그리고 연안사주의 위치 등에 대한 분석도 기능하다. 카메라 시스템은 해안선의 변화뿐만 아니라 오염 등으로 인하여 해안에서 발생하는 거품 발생량의 변화에 대한 분석을 할 수 있다. 빗각 촬영된 거품 영상을 기하 보정 후 거품부분을 따로 추출함으로서 거품량에 대한 정량적인 분석이 가능하다. 위의 두 기기는 각기 그 특성이 다른 센서로서 이를 동시에 활용하면 연안환경 관측에 있어 시너지 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

Convective/stratiform radar echo classification schemes by Steiner et al. (1995) and Biggerstaff and Listemaa (2000) are examined on a monsoonal front during the summer monsoon-Changma period, which is organized as a cloud cluster with mesoscale convective complex. Target radar is S-band with wavelength of 10cm, spatial resolution of 1km, elevation angle interval of 0.5-1.0 degree, and minimum elevation angle of 0.19 degree at Jindo over the Korean Peninsula. For verification of rainfall amount retrieved from the echo classification, ground-based rain gauge observations (Automatic Weather Stations) are examined, converting the radar echo grid data to the station values using the inverse distance weighted method. Improvement from the echo classification is evaluated based on the correlation coefficient and the scattered diagram. Additionally, an optimal use method was designed to produce combined rainfalls from the radar echo and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM/PR) data. Optimal values for the radar rain and TRMM/PR rain are inversely weighted according to the error variance statistics for each single station. It is noted how the rainfall distribution during the summer monsoon frontal system is improved from the classification of convective/stratiform echo and the use of the optimal use technique.

This paper presents radar remote sensing of soil moisture and surface roughness for vegetated surfaces. A precise volume scattering model for a vegetated surface is derived based on the first-order radiative transfer technique. At first, the scattering mechanisms of the scattering model are analyzed for various conditions of the vegetation canopies. Then, the scattering model is simplified step by step for developing an appropriate inversion algorithm. For verifying the scattering model and the inversion algorithm, the polarimetric backscattering coefficients at 1.85 GHz, as well as the ground truth data, of a tall-grass field are measured for various soil moisture conditions. The genetic algorithm is employed in the inversion algorithm for retrieving soil moisture and surface roughness from the radar measurements. It is found that the scattering model agrees quite well with the measurements. It is also found that the retrieved soil moisture and surface roughness parameters agree well with the field-measured ground truth data.

An airborne radar performance can be sensitive to the variation of the Doppler center frequency and the spectral spread of the ground clutter return due to the radar platform moving and aspect angle of the scanning beam to the target. In this paper, for the performance test of the airborne pulsed Doppler radar system developed, the high-speed radar data acquisition system is implemented for acquiring the raw radar signal in real-time. Based on the various test scenarios from airborne-platform to the moving platform, the various radar target and clutter signals are collected and their spectrum is analyzed for the verification of the radar performance in the real-time flight test environments.

Disasters, including earthquakes and landslides, have enormous economic and social losses besides their impact on environmental disruption. Iran, and particularly its Western part, is known as an earthquake susceptible area due to numerous strong ground motions. Studying ecological changes due to climate change can improve the public and expert sector's awareness and response to future disastrous events. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technologies are appropriate tools for modeling and surface deformation modeling. This paper proposes an efficient approach to detect ground deformation changes using Sentinel-1A. The focal point of this research is to map the ground surface deformation modeling is presented using InSAR technology over Sarpol-e Zahab on 25^th November 2018 as a study case. For surface deformation modeling and detection of the ground movement due to earthquake SARPROZ in MATLAB programming language is used and discussed. Results show that there is a general ground movement due to the Sarpol-e Zahab earthquake between -7 millimeter to +18 millimeter in the study area. This research verified previous researches on the advanced image analysis techniques employed for mapping ground movement, where InSAR provides a reliable tool for assisting engineers and the decision-maker in choosing proper policies in a time of disasters. Based on the result, 574 out of 682 damaged buildings and infrastructures due to the 2017 Sarpol-e Zahab earthquake have moved from -2 to +17 mm due to the 2018 earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 Richter. Results show that mountainous areas have suffered land subsidence, where urban areas had land uplift.

레이다는 높은 송신 출력과 광대역 주파수를 사용하므로 레이다 상호간의 간섭이 레이다의 탐지 성능에 매우 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITU-R에서 권고하는 레이다 국제 간섭 보호 기준에 대한 근거를 제시하고, 지상, 항공, 위성 레이다 종류별 간섭 영향을 분석하여 레이다 상호간 간섭 모델을 정립하였다. 그리고 제시된 간섭 모델을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 통하여 레이다 운용 환경에 따른 간섭 영향을 분석하였다.

A simple microwave backscattering model for vegetation canopies on earth surfaces is developed in this study. A natural earth surface is modeled as a two-layer structure comprising a vegetation layer and a ground layer. This scattering model includes various scattering mechanisms up to the first-order multiple scattering( double-bounce scattering). Radar backscatter from ground surface has been modeled by the polarimetric semi-empirical model (PSEM), while the backscatter from the vegetation layer modeled by the vector radiative transfer model. The vegetation layer is modeled by random distribution of mixed scattering particles, such as leaves, branches and trunks. The number of input parameters has been minimized to simplify the scattering model. The computation results are compared with the experimental measurements, which were obtained by ground-based scatterometers and NASA/JPL air-borne synthetic aperture radar(SAR) system. It was found that the scattering model agrees well with the experimental data, even though the model used only ten input parameters.

The radar wind profiler data contaminates with various non-atmospheric components that produce errors in moments and wind velocity estimations. This study implemented an adaptive Gaussian model to detect and remove the clutter from the radar return. This model includes DC filtering, ground clutter recognition, Gaussian fitting, and cost function to mitigate the clutter component. The adaptive model tested for the various types of clutter components and found that it is effective in clutter removal process. It is also applied for the both time series and spectrum datasets. The moments estimated using this method are compared with those derived using conventional DC-filtering clutter removal method. The comparisons show that the proposed method effectively removes the clutter and produce reliable moments.

지상의 주력전차를 격추시키기 위한 공대지 유도미사일은 지상을 탐색하여 움직이는 표적을 탐지한 다음 위치를 추정하여 표적을 향해 나아가야 한다. 본 논문에서는 미사일이 향하는 전방의 지상을 좁은 빔 폭을 가진 빔을 기계적으로 좌우로 조향함으로써 일정한 지상구간을 탐색하며 Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW)를 활용하여 이동하는 표적을 탐지하고 합성개구레이다(synthetic aperture radar: SAR)를 통해 위치를 추정한다. 또한 최대우도추정(maximum likelihood estimation: MLE) 기법을 통해 이동표적의 상대속도를 추정하여 레이다와 가까워지는 혹은 멀어지는 정도를 알 수 있으며 상대속도가 고려된 위상기록(phase history)을 통해 보정된 정합필터로 레이다 이미지(image)를 형성한다.
