The objective of this study was to use remotely sensed data, combined with in situ data, for the assessment of trophic state for Daecheong reservoir. Three Landsat TM(Thematic Mapper) imagery data were processed to portray trophic state conditions. The remotely sensed data and the measured data were obtained on 20 June 1995. Regression models have been developed between the chlorophyll-a concentration and reflectance which was converted to Landsat TM digital data. The regression model was determined based on the correlation coefficient which was higher than 0.7 and was applied to the entire study area to generate a distribution map of chlorophyll-a and trophic state. The equation, providing estimates of chlorophyll-a concentration, represented the year-to-year spatial variation of trophic zones in the reservoir. Satellite remote sensing data derived from Landsat TM had been successfully used for trophic slate mapping in Daecheong reservoir.

The conventional monitoring of water quality constrained by time and equipment produce neither complete nor synoptic geographic coverage of pollutant distribution, transport, and water quality. To circumvent these limitations in temporal and spatial measurements, the use of remote sensing is increasingly being involved in the lacustrine environmental research. Consequently, satellite remote sensing, with its synoptic coverage, is used to obtain the eutrophication-related water quality parameters in Daecheong reservoir in this study. The approach involved acquisition of water quality samples from boats of 15 sites on 20 June 1995 and 30 sites on 18 March 1996, simultaneous with Landsat-5 satellite overpass. Regression models have been developed between the water quality parameters and Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM) digital data. The best regression model was determined based on the correlation coefficient which was higher than 0.6. As a result, satellite remote sensing can provide meaningful information on water quality parameters. The regression models developed in this study show good relationship for transparency, turbidity, SS, and chlorophyll, but not for TN and TP because their spectral characteristics are not well defined.

At present, monitoring programmes for green network have been mainly based on field sampling, which relies on attributes of an area at one point in time, reflecting an emphasis on the small number of in-situ data. One of the major disadvantages of traditional field monitoring is that it is costly, laborious and time consuming due to the large number of samples required. The aim of this research was to evaluate green network based on pixel of Landsat TM satellite image. An empirical study for a case study site was conducted to demonstrate how a standard remote sensing technology can be used to assist in monitoring the green network based on pixel. The pixel-based analysis made it possible to identify area-wide patterns of green network subject to many different type of artificial structures, which cannot be acquired by traditional field sampling. It was demonstrated that the degradation trends of green network could be used effectively as an indicator to restrict further development of the sites since the quantitative data generated from remote sensing can present area-wide visual evidences by permanent record. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to support more scientific and objective decision-making in monitoring green network.

Accurate and real time forecasting of runoff has a high priority in the drainage basins prone to short, high intensity rainfall events causing flash floods. To take into account the resolution of hydrological variables within a drainage basin, use of distributed system models is preferred. The Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM) observations enable detailed information on distribution of land cover and other related factors within a drainage basin and permit the use of distributed system models. This paper describes monitoring technique of rainfall excess by SCS curve number method. The time series maps of rainfall excess were generated for all the storm events to show the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall excess within study basin. A combination of the time series maps of rainfall excess with a flow routing technique would simulate the flow hydrograph at the drainage basin outlet.

Traditional methods for the extraction of the environmental factors of waters in which environmental change is severer than in the land can not examine closely the changed phenomena because of the lack of equipments, manpower, time and cost, etc. Therefore, new practical and efficient methods are required. The research for the method to manage environment of the waters with remote sensing technology was needed. This study examined the interrelations between the data by an on-the-spot survey and Landsat TM data and presented the model for extracting factors of water quality with regression analysis and experimental formula.

토지피복은 지표면의 물리적 상태 및 사용 용도에 따른 특성을 나타내는 기본적인 정보로 농업, 환경, 재해, 수자원 등 다양한 분야에서 이용되고 있다. 식생활동으로 인해 생기는 증산과 토양에서 일어나는 증발을 증발산이라 통칭하며, 이의 정확한 산정은 수리, 수문학적 유역 분석에 중요하다. 정확한 증발산의 산정을 위해서는 기압, 온도 등 기상 인자의 역할이 중요하지만 토지피복 특성 역시 증발산에 큰 영향을 주므로 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 이는 인간의 활동에 의해 점차적으로 빠르게 변화하는 추세이므로 인공위성 영상을 이용하여 효율적인 정보의 취합 및 관리가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Landsat 5 TM(Thematic Mapper) 영상을 기반으로 무감독 분류법을 이용하여 ISODATA Training과 Masking기법을 사용하여 한강 유역의 토지피복도를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서는 연구 대상 지역의 영상을 사용하였고, 토지의 분류는 수역, 시가, 나지, 습지, 초지, 산림, 농지의 7가지로 분류하였다. 그 결과 우리나라의 대다수를 이루는 수역, 시가, 산림, 농지에 대한 높은 정확도를 갖는 토지피복도를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 군사경계 외부의 지역도 포함된 결과이다. 단, 나지와 습지, 초지 부분의 정확도는 비교적 떨어지나, 우리나라의 토지특성상 많은 비율을 차지하고 있지 않으므로 신뢰할 만한 결과라 할 수 있겠다. 이 결과와 외부 자료를 이용하여 보다 향상된 토지피복도를 만들 수 있을 것이다. 이를 토대로 군사지역 등 접근이 어려운 지역의 토지피복 현황을 파악하여 정확한 증발산 산정에 도움이 되고자 한다.

This study investigates to detect sea surface temperature (SST) and land cover change after tide embankment construction using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) thermal infrared (TIR) band data at Shihwa Lake and surrounding area. SST measurement is important for studies of both the structure of the ocean and as the thermal boundary between the ocean and the atmosphere. The TIR band of TM images can be used to detect SST change whose shoreline is complicated and narrow like the study site. The purpose of this study is to estimate SST and land cover change at Shihwa Lake and surrounding area.

Spatial information on forest biomass is an important factor to evaluate the capability of forest as a carbon sequestrator and is a core independent variable required to drive models which describe ecological processes such as carbon budget, hydrological budget, and energy flow. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between satellite image and field data, and to quantitatively estimate and map the spatial distribution of forest biomass. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) derived vegetation indices and field survey data were applied to estimate the biomass distribution of mountainous forest located in Gwangneung Experimental Forest (230 ha). Field survey data collected from the ground plots were used as the dependent variable, forest biomass, while satellite image reflectance data (Band 1~5 and Band 7), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), and RVI (Ratio Vegetation Index) were used as the independent variables. The mean and total biomass of Gwangneung catchment area were estimated to be about 229.5 ton/ha and $52.8{\times}10^3$ tons respectively. Regression analysis revealed significant relationships between the measured biomass and Landsat derived variables in both of deciduous forest ($R^2=0.76$, P < 0.05) and coniferous forest ($R^2=0.75$, P < 0.05). However, there still exist many uncertainties in the estimation of forest ecosystem parameters based on vegetation remote sensing. Developing remote sensing techniques with adequate filed survey data over a long period are expected to increase the estimation accuracy of spatial information of the forest ecosystem.
