Microwave polarimetric backscattering from a wet soil surface had been measured using a Ku-band polarimetric scatterometer at the incidence angles ranging from 10$^{\circ}$ to 70$^{\circ}$ Since the accurate target parameters as well as the radar parameters are necessary for radar scattering modeling, a complete and accurate set of ground truth data were also collected, from which accurate measurements were made of the rms height, correlation length, and dielectric constant. The measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients (vv-, hh-, vh-, hv-polarizations) were compared with theoretical models and empirical models. A new semi-empirical model for microwave polarimetric radar backscattering from bare soil surfaces was developed using polarimetric radar measurements and the knowledge based on the theoretical and numerical solutions. The model was found to yield very good agreement with the backscattering measurements of this study.

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.

A semi-empirical model for microwave polarimetric radar backscattering from bare soil surfaces was developed using polarmetric radar measurements and the knowledge based on the theoretical and numerical solutions. The microwave polarimetric backscatter measurements were conducted for bare soil surfaces under a variety of roughness and moisture conditions at L-, C-, and X-band frequencies at incidence angles ranging from 10` to 70`. Since the accrate target parameters as well as the radar parameters are necessary for radar scattering modeling, a complete and accurate set of ground truth data were also collected using a laser profile meter and dielectric probes for each surface condition, from which accurate measurements were made of the rms height, correlation length, and dielectric constant. At first, the angular and spectral dependencies of the measured radar backscatter for a wide range of roughnesses and moisture conditions are examined. Then, the measured scattering behavior was tested using theoretical and numerical solutions. Based on the experimental observations and the theoretical and numerical solutions, a semi-empirical model was developed for backscattering coeffients in terms of the surface roughness parameters and the relative dielectric constant of the soil surface. The model was found to yield very good agreement with the backscattering measurements of this study as well as with independent measurements.

Microwave polarimetric backscattering from a various types of grassland canopies has been analyzed by using the first-order radiative transfer theory in this paper. Leaves in the grassland are modeled by rectangular resistive sheets, which sizes (widths and lengths) and orientations (elevation and azimuth angles) are randomly distributed. Surface roughness and soil moisture of the ground plane under the grass canopy is considered in this computation. The backscattering coefficients of grasslands are computed for different radar parameters (angles, frequencies and Polarizations) as well as different canopy Parameters (size and orientation distributions of leaves, canopy depth, moisture contents of leaves and soil, rms height and correlation length of soil surface). A radar system for 15GHz has been fabricated and used for measurement of the scattering coefficient from a grass canopy. The computation result obtained by the scattering model for the grass canopy is compared with the measurements.

본 논문은 후방 산란 계수 및 지표면 특성(ground truth)에 대한 측정 방법을 기술하며 후방 산란 계수 측정값과 radiative transfer 이론을 적용하여 개발된 산란 모델을 비교함으로써 산란 모델의 정확성을 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 잔디, 채소 등으로 덮힌 풀밭의 마이크로파 편파별 산란 늑성을 분석하는데 이용되는 Radiative Transfer Model(RTM)의 정확성을 검토하였다. 풀팥지역에서의 잎은 사각형 형태의 resistive sheet으로 간주하였고, 잎의 크기와 방향은 불규칙적으로 분포한다고 가정하였다. 지표면의 수분 함유량과 표면 거칠기도 고려하였으며, 이러한 지역에서의 후방 산란 계수의 값들을 계산하였다. 풀밭 변수들과 레이더 변수들에 따른 15GHz 대역의 polarimetric scatterometer 시스템을 사용하여 풀 층에서의 후방 산란계수를 측정하고 이 RTM의 계산 결과와 측정값을 비교하여 RTM 모델의 정확성을 검토하였다.

Multiyear ice is quite thick in general, and it needs to be distinguished from thinner types of ice because it represents a severe navigational hazard. Here, models are described for the radar backscatter from multiyear sea ice, based on simple scattering layers. Under cold conditions, the radiative transfer volume-scatter model can describe the backscattering from multiyear ice for frequencies higher than about X-band, while the surface scattering contribution has to be included for lower frequencies. A simple semi-empirical model is shown to be a good approximation to the radiative transfer model in describing the volume scattering from multiyear ice.

An eigen-analysis of the coherency matrix provides the polarimetric scattering mechanisms with the matrix characterizing parameters. In this paper, the coherency matrices of deciduous and coniferous vegetation are calculated using the analytical method. The Generalized Rayleigh-Gans approximation is used to model backscattering from distributed coniferous and deciduous leaves. The characteristics of eigen-parameters of simulated coherency matrix for deciduous and coniferous leaves with respect to the leaf shapes and orientations are illustrated.

해상풍은 해양 현상을 이해하고, 지구 온난화에 의한 지구 환경의 변화를 분석하기 위한 필수 요소이다. 전세계 연구 기관은 해상풍을 정확하고 지속적으로 관측하기 위해 산란계(scatterometer)를 개발하여 운영해오고 있으며, 정확도는 풍향이 ${\pm}20^{\circ}$, 풍속이 ${\pm}2m\;s^{-1}$ 안팎이다. 하지만, 산란계의 해상도는 12.5-25.0 km로, 해안선이 복잡하고 섬이 많은 한반도 근해에서는 자료의 결측이 빈번하게 발생하여 활용도가 감소한다. 그에 반해, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR, 합성개구레이더)는 마이크로파를 활용하는 전천후 센서로, 1 km 이하의 고해상도 해상풍이 산출이 가능하여 산란계의 단점 보완이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 활용되는 SAR 자료 기반 해상풍 산출 알고리즘인 Geophysical Model Function (GMF, 지구 물리 모델 함수)를 밴드별로 분류하여 조사하였다. 상대 풍향, 입사각, 풍속에 따른 후방산란계수를 L-band Model (LMOD, L 밴드 모델), C-band Model (CMOD, C 밴드 모델), X-band Model (XMOD, X 밴드 모델)에 적용하여 모의하였고, 각 GMF의 특성을 분석하였다. 이러한 GMF를 SAR 탑재 인공위성 자료에 적용하여 산출한 해상풍의 정확도 검증 연구에 대해 조사하였다. SAR 자료 기반 해상풍의 정확도는 영상 관측 모드, 적용한 GMF의 종류, 정확도 비교 기준 자료, SAR 자료 전처리 방법, 상대 풍향 정보 산출 방법 등에 따라 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 국내 연구자들의 SAR 자료 기반 해상풍 산출 방법에 대한 접근성이 향상되고, 고해상도 해상풍 자료를 활용한 한반도 근해 분석에 이바지할 것으로 기대된다.
