To examine the effect of thermal discharge from nuclear power plants, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is one of the most important variables measured by satellite remote sensing. However, the study was not much comparison of field data and satellite SST from operational Landsat 8 Thermal Infrared Sensor(TIRS) and Landsat 7 ETM+. The Landsat 8 TIRS have 2 spilt Thermal Infrared channels but ETM+ uses one channel for extracting of SST. In spite of that this research carried out that Landsat 7 ETM+ have more profitable for correction of SST than Landsat 8 TIRS. The used 15 Landsat 7 and 8 Thermal Infrared data of path/row 114-36 were processed by SST algorithm of ENVI and IDL. The in-situ SST data from KHOA(Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration) compared with satellite SST and the accuracy of extracted SST were assessed by each field sites in-situ point data with time series satellite SST.

In order to analyze the Land Surface Temperature (LST) in metropolitan area including Seoul, Landsat and MODIS land surface temperature, Automatic Weather Station (AWS) temperature, digital elevation model and landuse are used. Analysis method among the Landsat and MODIS LST and AWS temperature is basic statistics using by correlation coefficient, root-mean-square error and linear regression etc. Statistics of Landsat and MODIS LST are a correlation coefficient of 0.32 and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 4.61 K, respectively. And statistics of Landsat and MODIS LST and AWS temperature have the correlations of 0.83 and 0.96 and the RMSE of 3.28 K and 2.25 K, respectively. Landsat and MODIS LST have relatively high correlation with AWS temperature, and the slope of the linear regression function have 0.45 (Landsat) and 1.02 (MODIS), respectively. Especially, Landsat 5 has lower correlation about 0.5 or less in entire station, but Landsat 8 have a higher correlation of 0.5 or more despite of lower match point than other satellites. Landsat 7 have highly correlation of more than 0.8 in the center of Seoul. Correlation between satellite LSTs and AWS temperature with landuse (urban and rural) have 0.8 or higher. Landsat LST have correlation of 0.84 and RMSE of more than 3.1 K, while MODIS LST have correlation of more than 0.96 and RMSE of 2.6 K. Consequently, the difference between the LSTs by two satellites have due to the difference in the optical observation and detection the radiation generated by the difference in the area resolution.

광학 위성영상의 경우 기상조건의 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 연속적인 데이터 취득과 분석이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 영상 획득률이 상대적으로 낮은 광학 위성영상의 단점을 보완하기 위해 SAR 위성영상과 광학 위성영상을 활용하여 다양한 자연재난에 대해 효율적인 재난관리의 가능성을 북한 황강댐 수표면적 분석사례를 통해 제시하였다. 위성영상 수집기간은 2016년 1월부터 2017년 7월까지 획득된 자료로 SAR 위성영상은 Sentinel-1을, 광학 위성영상은 Landsat-8을 획득하여 분석하였다. 이때 수증기, 구름 등 기상조건에 의해 Landsat-8을 획득하지 못한 부분은 Sentinel-1으로 대체하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 2016년 5월 19일자 관측된 황강댐의 만수위 당시 수표면적과 2017년 7월 18일에 관측된 황강댐의 수표면적이 유사하여 방류위험성이 있어 상시 모니터링이 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 Sentinel-1와 Landsat-8을 활용하여 효율적인 재난관리를 보여주는 사례를 통하여 선제적인 재난관리에 활용성을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 최근 어류 폐사, 상수원 오염 등의 피해를 발생시키고 있는 녹조를 대상으로 위성영상을 이용한 발생 유무와 분포를 분석하고자 하였다. 녹조는 엽록소를 가지고 광합성을 하므로 식생과 매우 유사한 분광특성을 가진다. 이는 위성영상에서 제공하는 근적외 정보로부터 정규식생지수를 산출하고 그 변화를 분석함으로써 녹조 발생 유무를 식별해낼 수 있음을 의미한다. 연구 대상지역인 대청호는 올해 첫 조류경보가 발령된 수역으로 8월~10월 사이 상류지역을 중심으로 녹조가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 Landsat-8 위성영상을 이용하여 대청호에서 발생한 녹조분포를 분석하고, 그 중 높은 농도의 녹조가 발생한 추소리를 직접 방문하여 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) 자료를 취득하였다. UAV 촬영 영상을 통해 추소리 수역에 녹조가 다량 발생한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후에는 고해상도 위성영상인 플래닛스코프 위성영상을 추가적으로 활용함으로써 녹조 모니터링의 정확성과 적시성을 확보할 예정이다.

지구온난화에 따른 이상기후현상을 해결하기 위해 인공위성영상을 이용한 식생의 변화유무와 특성파악이 중요하다. 특히, 인공위성의 근적외선 영역과 가시광선 영역을 이용한 정규식생분포지수는 식생의 활력도를 파악하고 변화유무를 판단하는 지표로서 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 최근 발사된 Landsat 8 OLI의 경우 정규식생분포지수에 영향을 주는 근적외선 밴드의 파장대역이 기존의 TM/ETM+ 위성의 근적외선 밴드의 파장대역보다 감소하였다. 또한 이러한 파장대역 변화에 의한 정규식생분포지수의 차이에 대해서 공식적으로 연구한 사례가 없다. 그러므로 본 연구는 Landsat 8 OLI 위성영상과 Landsat 7 ETM+ 위성영상을 식생이 활발한 여름철(9월)과 그렇지 않은 겨울철(1월)의 영상을 각각 취득하여, 식생, 도심지, 도로, 농경지, 나지의 5가지 항목으로 분류하여 각각의 정규식생분포지수를 비교해보고 상관관계분석을 시도하였다.

The frequency of exposure of field crops to stress situations is increasing due to abnormal weather conditions. In South Korea, large-scale diseases in representative paddy rice cultivation area were happened. There are limits to field investigation on the crop damage due to large-scale. Satellite-based remote sensing techniques are useful for monitoring crops in cities and counties, but the sensitivity of vegetation index measured from satellite under abnormal growth of crop should be evaluated. The goal is to evaluate satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) retrieved from different spatial scales using drone imagery. In this study, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellites were used and they have spatial resolution of 10 and 30 m. Drone-based NDVI, which was resampled to the scale of satellite data, had correlation of 0.867-0.940 with Sentinel-2 NDVI and of 0.813-0.934 with Landsat-8 NDVI. When the effects of bias were minimized, Sentinel-2 NDVI had a normalized root mean square error of 0.2 to 2.8% less than that of the drone NDVI compared to Landsat-8 NDVI. In addition, Sentinel-2 NDVI had the constant error values regardless of diseases damage. On the other hand, Landsat-8 NDVI had different error values depending on degree of diseases. Considering the large error at the boundary of agricultural field, high spatial resolution data is more effective in monitoring crops.

Land Surface Temperature (LST) retrieved from Landsat 8 measured from 2013 to 2014 and it is corrected by surface temperature observed from ground. LST maps are retrieved from Landsat 8 calculate using the linear regression function between raw Landsat 8 LST and ground surface temperature. Seasonal and annual LST maps developed an average LST from season to annual, respectively. While the higher LSTs distribute on the industrial and commercial area in urban, lower LSTs locate in surrounding rural, sea, river and high altitude mountain area over Seoul and surrounding area. In order to correct the LST, linear regression function calculate between Landsat 8 LST and ground surface temperature observed 3 Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) synoptic stations (Seoul(ID: 108), Incheon(ID: 112) and Suwon(ID: 119)) on the Seoul and surrounding area. The slopes of regression function are 0.78 with all data and 0.88 with clear sky except 5 cloudy pixel data. And the original Landsat 8 LST have a correlation coefficient with 0.88 and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) with $5.33^{\circ}C$. After LST correction, the LST have correlation coefficient with 0.98 and RMSE with $2.34^{\circ}C$ and the slope of regression equation improve the 0.95. Seasonal and annual LST maps represent from urban to rural area and from commercial to industrial region clearly. As a result, the Landsat 8 LST is more similar to the real state when corrected by surface temperature observed ground.

Recent global warming and anthropogenic activities have caused more frequent and massive wildfires with longer durations and more significant damages. MODIS has been monitoring global wildfires for almost 20 years, and GK2A and Himawari-8 are observing the wildfires in East Asia 144 times a day. However, the spatial resolution of 1 to 2 km is not sufficient for the detection of small and medium-size active fires, and therefore the studies on the active fire detection using high-resolution images are essential. However, there is no official product for the high-resolution active fire detection. Hence, we implemented the active fire detection algorithm of Landsat 8 and carried out a high-resolution-based detection of active fires in Australia in 2019, followed by the comparisons with the products of Himawari-8 and MODIS. Regarding the intense fires, the three satellites showed similar results, whereas the weak igniting and extinguishing fires or the fires in narrow areas were detected by only Landsat 8 with a 30m resolution. Small-sized fires, which are the majority in Korea, can be detected by the high-resolution satellites such as Landsat 8, Sentinel-2, Kompsat-3A, and the forthcoming Kompsat-7. Also, a comprehensive analysis together with the geostationary satellites in East Asia such as GK2A, Himawari-8, and Fengyun-3 will help the interoperability and the improvement of spatial and temporal resolutions.

Landsat satellite images have been increasingly used for disaster damage analysis and disaster monitoring because they can be used for periodic and broad observation of disaster damage area. However, periodic disaster monitoring has limitation because of areas having missing data due to clouds as a characteristic of optical satellite images. Therefore, a study needs to be conducted for restoration of missing areas. This study detected and removed clouds and cloud shadows by using the quality assessment (QA) band provided when acquiring Landsat-8 images, and performed image restoration of removed areas through a spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion (STARFM) algorithm. The restored image by the proposed method is compared with the restored image by conventional image restoration method throught MLC method. As a results, the restoration method by STARFM showed an overall accuracy of 89.40%, and it is confirmed that the restoration method is more efficient than the conventional image restoration method. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to increase the utilization of disaster analysis using Landsat satellite images.
