This study is to evaluate the overall NPP(Net Primary Productions distribution in the Korean Peninsula from the satellite data(NOAA/AVHRR). This has been done using the linear relationship between the natural vegetation condition and the NPP. The NPP of natural vegetation increases proportional to the annual net radiation(Rn), where radiative dorless Index(RDI) is a proportional constant connecting Rn to NPP. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) Is used for monitoring vegetation change, and INDVI (Integrated NDVI) for annual analysis. The INDVI has a close relation to .Rn and NPP. which can be used effectively for estimating NPP distribution of where the meteorological data Is unavailable such as North Korea. The NPP distribution of the Korean Peninsula was estimated based on the model.

The shape of a streamflow hydrograph is very much controlled by the area and depth of snow cover in mountain area. The purpose of this study is to suggest extraction methods for snow cover area and depth using NOAA/AVHRR images in Soyanggang watershed. Snow cover area maps ware derived form channel 1, 3, 4 images of NOAA/AVHRR based on threshold value. In order to extract snow cover depth, snow cover area maps were overlaid daily snow depth data form 7 meteorological observation stations. Snow cover area and depth was mapped for period of Dec. 2002 and Mar. 2003. For evaluating snowmelt changes, depletion curve was created using daily snow cover area in the same period. It is necessary to compare these results with observed data and check the applicability of the suggested method in snowmelt simulation.

This study investigated interannual variations in Northeastern Asian vegetation activity inferred from NOAA/AVHRR data during 1984 to 1993. Firstly, original NOAA/AVHRR data was radiometrically and atmospherically corrected in order to produce a consistent and calibrated time series NDVI by eliminating the effect of atmospheric effects and sensor degradation. Next, the NDVI data was analyzed to detect terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate change. A larger increase in growing season NDVI magnitude was observed in Northeastern Asia. Especially, vegetation activity is increasing in north part of Northeastern Asia. However, satellite drift and eruption effect have affect on interannual NDVI variations and it has affected the result in some degree. To improve accuracy of the result, it is necessary to correct these effects.

본 연구는 원격탐사 기법을 이용하여 북한 지역을 포함한 한반도 전지역을 대상으로 식생활력도(vegetation activity)의 시계열적 변화를 모니터링하고, 식생지수의 연중변화 특성을 이용하여 한반도의 식생 분포도를 작성하는데 그 목적이 있다. 1997년 4월부터 11월까지 8개월 동안 NOAA-14 위성에서 수신된 AVHRR 자료를 수집하여 정규 식생지수(Nomalized Difference Vegetation Index)를 구하고 이들을 MVC(Maximum Value Composite) 방법으로 조합하여 월별 NDVI 합성도를 작성하여 식생활력도의 시계열 변화를 고찰하였다. 또한 식물의 생장시기인 5월부터 10월까지의 NDVI를 무감독 분류하여 한반도의 식생분포 유형을 도시.나대지가 4.49%, 초지 4.49%, 경작지 27.54%, 활엽수림 25.61%, 침엽수림 38.22%로 나타났다.

기후변화는 강수유형, 기온상승과 일사량의 변화로 인한 증발산량의 변화, 유역 식생피복변화로 인한 지표-대기 관계의 변화와 같은 현상을 통해 지역 부존 수자원과 유출량에 큰 변화를 가져올 수 있다. 특히 지표면의 76%를 차지하고 있는 식생피복은 지표와 대기 사이의 물 순환과정에서 중요한 인자이다. 본 연구에서는 넓은 지역에 대한 식생피복의 파악이 용이한 NOAA 위성의 AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) 센서로부터 얻을 수 있는 정규화 식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI)를 통하여 현 식생정보를 정량화하였다. 이로부터 토지피복별 NDVI와 기상인자(기온, 강수량, 일조시간, 풍속, 습도) 사이의 상관관계를 분석하고, 이를 기후변화 시나리오에 의한 기상인자로 부터 토지피복에 따른 미래 NDVI를 추정하였다.

지표와 대기사이에서 식물의 광합성 및 증발산 능력과 밀접하게 관련되어 있는 엽면적지수는 식생밀도를 나타낼때 사용되는 식생지수이다. 본 연구에서는 NOAA-AVHRR 자료를 사용한 엽면적지수를 사용하여 남한지역 엽면적지수의 시공간변화도와 주기성분석을 실시하였고 소양강댐유역, 안동댐유역과 주요 도시의 엽면적지수의 월별, 년별, 계절별 추세를 분석하였다. 추세분석결과 월추세 분석에서는 장기간의 뚜렷한 변동성을 나타내지는 않았지만 겨울과 봄 보다는 여름과 가을에 식생의 밀도가 더 높은 계절적인 요인에 많은 영향을 받는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 시간변화 분석결과 계절변화를 제외한 특별한 장기변동을 확인할 수 없었으며 엽면적지수의 공간 변화는 정규식생지수가 보여주는 지형이나 위도의 변화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 변화양상을 보여주지 않았다. 이는 농지 및 삼림 등의 인위적 조성으로 인한 엽면적지수의 공간변화도 양상과 관계있다 하겠다.

This study is to grasp and analyse the temporal and spatial distribution of record-breaking heavy snowfall rarely occurred in the middle and southwest region of South Korea during March of 2004 and December of 2005 respectively. Snow cover area was extracted using the channels 1, 3 and 4 of NOAA AVHRR images and the snow depth distribution was spatially interpolated using snowfall data of meteorological stations. Using administration boundary and Digital Elevation Model from 1:5,000 NGIS digital map, the snowfall impact was assessed spatially and compared with the reports at that time. The damaged area by heavy snowfall over 15 cm snow depth could be identified successfully within the spatial extent of snowfall area extracted by NOAA AVHRR image.

The purpose of this study is to estimate monthly evapotranspiration (ET) using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from NOAA/AVHRR Korea peninsula images. Morton actual ET for land surface conditions was evaluated by using 73 daily meteorological data, and the monthly averaged Morton ETs for each land cover were compared with the monthly maximum NDVIs of a year, 2001. There was a high correlation between monthly maximum NDVI and monthly averaged Morton ET. It was concluded that the monthly ET can be estimated from the NDVI information of NOAA/AVHRR.

The purpose of this study is to estimate monthly evapotranspiration (ET) using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) obtained from NOAA-AVHRR data sets. Actual evapotranspiration was evaluated by the complementary relationship, and monthly NDVI was obtained by maximum value composite method from daily NDVI images in the Korean peninsula for the year 2001 The monthly actual ETs for each land cover were compared with the monthly NDVIs to determine relationships between actual ET and NDVI for each land cover category, There was a high correlation between monthly NDVI and monthly mean actual ET. This study presents an alternative approach for land surface evapotranspiration based on remote sensing techniques.

Spatial information of snow cover and depth distribution is a key component for snowmelt runoff modeling. Wide snow cover areas can be extracted from NOAA AVHRR or Terra MODIS satellite images. In this study eight sets of annual snow cover data (1997-2006) in two mountainous watersheds (A: Chungju-Dam and B: Soyanggang-Dam) were extracted using NOAA AVHRR images. The distribution of snow depth within the Snow Cover Area (SCA) was generated using snowfall data from ground meteorological observation stations. Snow depletion characteristics for the two watersheds were analyzed snow distribution time series data. The decreased pattern of SCA can be expressed as a logarithmic function; the determination coefficients were 0.62 and 0.68 for the A and B watersheds, respectively. The SCA decreased over 70% within 10 days from the time of maximum SCA.
