  • We investigated the distributions of sea ice using various microwave remote sensing techniques in the part of Drake passage, Antarctica, between the area 45-75$^{\circ}$W and 55-66$^{\circ}$S. We used Topex/Poseidon(T/P) radar altimeter, ERS-1 altimeter, ERS-2 scatterometer, Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), and DMSP Special Sensor Microwave/Imager(SSM/I) data. The sea ice distributions were estimated between May and Jun., 1995 and Oct. and Nov., 1998. The two altimeter measurements (T/P and ERS-1) showed good coherence with the results from the radiometer data in the given period when the ice concentration of 20% and greater was selected. The scatterometer data also showed good correlation with altimetry-implied sea ice surface. The maximum and minimum values of sea ice distribution were appeared in Aug. and Feb., respectively. In general, the sea ice distributions estimated from radar altimeter, radioneter, and scatterometer are well correlated.

  • Genetic algorithms (GA) is a well known technique that is capable of handling multiobjective functions and discrete constraints in the process of numerical optimization. Together with the Pareto ranking scheme, more than one possible solution can be obtained despite the imposed constraints and multi-criteria design functions. In view of this unique capability, the design of the log-periodic dipole antenna array (LPDA) using this special feature is proposed in this paper. This method also provides gain, front-back level and S parameter design tradeoff for the LPDA design in broadband application at no extra computational cost.

  • 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.

  • 본 논문은 열대저기압, 태풍 및 허리케인의 연구와 분석에 사용되는 몇 가지 마이크로파 방식들을 검토하였다. 마이크로파 신호는 폭풍 속 구름과 비에 의해 잘 흡수되지 않는 장점을 가지기 때문에 격렬한 폭풍을 동반하는 열대저기압의 관측에 있어 매우 유용하다. 그에 대한 장비들로 산란계(scsatterometers), 마이크로파 복사계(microwave radiometers), 합성개구레이더 (synthetic aperture radars; SARs), 강우레이더 (rain radar) 에 대해 살펴보았다. 이러한 마이크로파 장비들로부터 얻어진 열대저기압내의 바람, 강우, 구름분포와 같은 자료들은 태풍의 진로와 강도예측에 중요한 정보를 제공한다. ERS-1, 2 산란계와 RADARSAT-1 SAR로부터 얻어진 세부적인 바람장, 넓은 관측범위를 가지는 SSM/I 로부터 얻은 풍속분포, 높은 해상도를 가지는 TRMM 강우레이더의 강우 강도측정들은 이러한 예를 보여주고 있다. 초기 마이크로파 원격탐사에서 나타났던 해상도, 관측 폭과 같은 한계들은 최근 발사되어 운영되는 위성들의 장비들로 많은 개선이 이루어졌다. 이러한 마이크로파 장비들에 대한 충분한 이해와 활용은 열대저기압의 발생과 강도와 같은 특성들을 규명하는데 큰 역할을 할 것이다.

  • The main objective of this paper is to investigate the potential utility of multisensor remotely sensed data for improved coastal wetland mapping. Five data fusion models, three algebraic models (Multiplicative (MT), Brovey (BT) and Wavelet transform (WT)) and two spectral domain models (Principals component transform (PCT) and Intensity-Hue-Saturation (IHS)) were implemented and tested over the multisensor data. The fused images were then compared based on visual and statistical approaches. The results show that the wavelet transform provides greater flexibility for combining optical data sets and has good potential for preserving the spatial and spectral content of the original images . However, this model yields poor information when combining optical and microwave data. Brovey transform is more reliable for fusing optical and microwave image data and yields improved information about different wetland features of the coastal zone.

  • 태풍의 경우, 주요 자연재해 중의 하나로 태풍의 상황을 정확하게 파악하는 것은 기상예측의 정도를 높이고, 재해를 방지하는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 태풍의 동향을 감시하는데 있어, MTSAT 등의 기상위성이 주로 활용되고 있다. 근년 인공위성의 원격탐사를 이용하여 광범위의 해양에 대한 해상풍과 파랑의 관측이 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는, 2000년 QuickSCAT위성에 의한 해상풍의 월변동 특성을 조사하고, 7월에 한반도에 영향을 준 태풍 카이탁내의 해상풍을 검토하였다. 추가로 2005 년 8월 30일의 태풍 탈림에 대해서 ENVISAT ASAR Scan SAR에 의한 해상풍 추출을 시도하였다. QuickSCAT 에 의한 풍향을 이용한 방법과 SAR 자체의 패턴을 이용한 방법이 비교되었다.

  • Initial results of processing data from an experiment performed in November, 2005 are given. A microwave Doppler radar with a knife-like beam ($1.5^0$ - $24.5^0$) was installed on a helicopter. Measurements were made during a flight above the Gorky water storage basin. Power and Doppler spectra of the radar reflected signal were analyzed. The processing has shown that the algorithm developed for the retrieval of the slopes of rough water surface enables one to determine the direction of wave propagation and retrieve the variance of the wave slopes.

  • The generalized Rayleigh-Gans (GRG) approximation is usually used to compute the scattering amplitudes of leaves smaller or comparable to a wavelength, while the physical optics (PO) approach with the resistive sheet approximation is commonly used for leaves larger or comparable to the wavelength. In this paper, the scattering amplitudes of an elliptical leaf are computed using those theoretical scattering models (GRG and PO) at different frequencies. The accuracies of the analytical models for microwave scattering from deciduous leaves are investigated by comparison with the precise estimation by the method of moment (MoM). It was found that both the PO approach and the GRG approximation can be used alternatively for computing the scattering matrices of natural deciduous leaves at P-, L-, C- and X-band frequencies.

  • Temperature inversion may cause air pollution problems because air pollutants cannot be dissipated through vertical motion of the atmosphere and are accumulated near the surface. The air quality is worsen gradually if an inversion event lasts for a long time. An inversion event is defined as consecutive temperature profiles with occurrence of the temperature inversion condition. In this paper, temperature inversion events over three major cities on Taiwan are analyzed. They are measured by ground-based microwave radiometers installed in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung from 2002 to 2004 by the Environment Protection Administration (EPA) of Taiwan. Characteristics of temperature inversion events at the three cities are extracted using different classification methods.
