GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) is the core paryload of the geostationary satellite COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteological Satellite) for ocean monitoring. It is scheduled to be launched at the end of 2008. GOCI observes ocean color around the Korean Peninsula over $2500km{\times}2500km$ area. Whole field of view is divided into 16 solts and scan mechanism enables to point each slot position. Tilted two-axis scan method is used to observe entire field of view with great pointing stability. Vignetting of the optical system appears when the partial obscuration by intermediate optical components occurs. It leads to the variation of the illumination in the image and gradual fading near the edge of the field. It should be prohibited for the stable radiometric performances. In this work, vignetting analysis of GOCI optical system is performed. For the systematic approach, GOCI optical system is divided into scan mechanism part and telescope part. Vignetting analysis of each part is performed and each result is combined for the overall vignetting performances. The analyzed results can be applied to the selection of slot acquisition angle of scan mechanism to minimize vignetting effects.

Northeastward drifts of massive Sargassum patches were observed in the East China Sea (ECS) and Yellow Sea (YS) by the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) in May 2017. Coverage of the brown macroalgae patches was the largest ever recorded in the ECS and YS. Three-dimensional circulation modeling and Lagrangian particle tracking simulations were conducted to reproduce drifting trajectories of the macroalgae patches. The trajectories of the macroalgae patches were controlled by winds as well as surface currents. A windage (leeway) factor of 1% was chosen based on sensitivity simulations. Southerly winds in May 2017 contributed to farther northward intrusion of the brown macroalgae into the YS. Although satellite observation and numerical modeling have their own limitations and associated uncertainties, the two methods can be combined to find the best estimate of Sargassum patch trajectories. When satellites were unable to capture all patches because of clouds and sea fog in the ECS and YS, the Lagrangian particle tracking model helped to track and restore the missing patches in satellite images. This study suggests that satellite monitoring and numerical modeling are complementary to ensure accurate tracking of macroalgae patches in the ECS and YS.

As a multi-mission GEO satellite, Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is scheduled to be launched in the year 2009. COMS has three different payloads: Ka-band communication payload, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) and Meteorological Imager (MI). Among the three payloads, MI and GOCI have several conflict relationships; one of them is that if MI mirror moves vertically larger than 4 Line Of Sight (LOS) angle while GOCI is imaging, image quality of GOCI becomes degraded. In this paper, MI scheduling algorithm to prevent GOCI's image quality degradation will be presented.

Measurements of ocean color from space since 1970s provided vital information with reference to physical and biogeochemical properties of the oceanic waters. The utility of these data has been explored in order to map and monitor highly toxic/or harmful algal blooms (HABs) that affected most of coastal waters throughout the world due to accelerated eutrophication from human activities and certain oceanic processes. However, the global atmospheric correction and bio-optical algorithms developed for oceanic waters were found to yield false information about the HABs in coastal waters. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential use of red tide index (RI) method, which has been developed by Ahn and Shanmugam (2005), for mapping of HABs in Korean and neighboring waters. Here we employed the SSMM to remove the atmospheric effect in the SeaWiFS image data and the achieved indices by RI method were found more appropriate in correctly identifying potential areas of the encountered HABs in Korean South Sea (KSS) and Chinese coastal waters during 1999-2004. But the existence of high absorbing and scattering materials greatly interfered with the standard OC4 algorithm which falsely identified red tides in these waters. In comparison with other methods, the RI approach for the early detection of HABs can provide state managers with accurate identification of the extent and location of these blooms as a management tool.

해수 속으로 입수된 하향 태양에너지 (down-welling irradiance)가 수심이 깊어짐에 따라 확산 소산되는 정도를 나타내는 하향 확산 감쇠계수 (Diffuse attenuation coefficient of down-welling irradiance, $K_d({\lambda})$)와 해수 속에서의 가시거리를 나타내는 수중시계는 수중에서의 광학적 성격을 나타내는 중요한 지수이다. 이러한 $K_d({\lambda})$ 및 수중시계에 대한 많은 연구가 세계적으로 여러 해역에 대해 수행되어 왔지만 우리나라 연안 해역을 대상으로 하는 연구는 매우 적은 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 황해 중부해역을 대상으로 $K_d({\lambda})$ 및 수중시계를 관측하였고, 해색위성용 $K_d({\lambda})$ 및 수중시계 알고리즘을 개발하였다. $K_d({\lambda})$ 및 수중시계 관측을 위하여 2006년 9월 $19{\sim}22$일, 4일 동안 황해 중부해역에서 현장관측을 실시하였으며, 총 39개 정점에서 해양 광학적 자료와 해양 환경적 자료를 획득하였다. 획득된 자료를 이용하여 경험적 방법으로 $K_d({\lambda})$와 수중시계 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 개발된 알고리즘들은 각각 기존의 대양의 자료를 이용하여 개발된 SeaWiFS 해색 센서용 $K_d({\lambda})$ 알고리즘과 NRL (Naval Research Laboratory)에서 개발된 SeaWiFS 센서용 수중시계 알고리즘과 비교하여 보았다. $K_d({\lambda})$ 알고리즘의 경우는 탁도가 높은 해역 값에서 약간의 차이를 보였으며, 수중시계 알고리즘의 경우 NRL의 알고리즘에 비해 약간 높은 계수 값을 얻었다.

With the increasing need for high temporal resolution satellite imagery for monitoring land surfaces, this study evaluated the temporal resolution of the NDVI composites from Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) data. The GOCI is the first geostationary satellite sensor designed to provide continuous images over a $2,500{\times}2,500km^2$ area of the northeast Asian region with relatively high spatial resolution of 500 m. We used total 2,944 hourly images of the GOCI level 1B radiance data obtained during the one-year period from April 2011 to March 2012. A daily NDVI composite was produced by maximum value compositing of eight hourly images captured during day-time. Further NDVI composites were created with different compositing periods ranging from two to five days. The cloud coverage of each composite was estimated by the cloud detection method developed in study and then compared with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua cloud product and 16-day NDVI composite. The GOCI NDVI composites showed much higher temporal resolution with less cloud coverage than the MODIS NDVI products. The average of cloud coverage for the five-day GOCI composites during the one year was only 2.5%, which is a significant improvement compared to the 8.9%~19.3% cloud coverage in the MODIS 16-day NDVI composites.

High concentration of chlorophyll a occurred around the Ulleung Warm Eddy off Ulleung Island in the East Sea of Korea in spring season. The abnormal distributions of chlorophyll a were captured by satellite remote sensing and measured field data. The temporal and spatial scale of the abnormal distributions were around 20days and 50km diameter off Ullung Island. The anomalies were quantified b)'estimated chlorophyll a derived from OCM and SeaWiFS ocean color data from 2000 to 2004. The origin of abnormal hish concentrations was estimated by this study. It was that suspended material discharged from the Nakdong River and the coastal water located in the southeastern part of Korean Peninsula moved to northeastern coast, and then moved to off Ullung island, The high chlorophyll a concentrations including inorganic materials were accumulated by anticyclonic eddy such as the Ullung Warm Eddy around Ullung island in the East Sea of Korea in spring season.

최근 해양에서 부유성 녹조류(Floating Green Algae)의 확산이 보고되고 있으나, 기존의 현지 관측이나 실험실에서의 화학적 분석으로는 정확하고 주기적인 광역 감시에 한계가 있다. 이에 반해 녹조에 포함된 엽록소의 광학특성에 기인한 분광 반사도 측정은 부유성 녹조에 대한 정보를 비교적 빠르고 정확하게 획득하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구의 목적은 최근 서해에서 발생한 부유성 녹조류의 분광 반사도 특성을 알아보고, 인공위성 영상으로부터 부유성 녹조를 탐지하기 위한 방법으로서 비교적 간단한 파장별 반사도 비율을 이용한 부유성 녹조 지수(Floating Green Alage Index; FGAI)를 개발하는 것이다. 500m 공간 해상도를 가지는 MODIS와 천리안 GOCI 영상자료를 이용하여 서해안의 녹조 현상이 발생하였던 기간을 대상으로 적색 밴드(660nm)와 근적외 밴드(860nm)의 비를 이용한 부유성 녹조지수를 분석한 결과는 녹조 현상에 대한 조류의 탐지 가능성을 증명하였다. 특히, 매 시간별 GOCI 관측 자료는 저궤도 위성보다 상세한 녹조의 감시가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

The optical sensors of Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) and Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI) aboard the Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) will be placed in a sun synchronous orbit in 1999. The EOC and OSMI sensors are expected to produce the land mapping imagery of Korean territory and the ocean color imagery of world oceans, respectively. Utilization of the EOC and OSMI data would encompass the various fields of science and technology such as land mapping, land use and development, flood monitoring, biological oceanography, fishery, and environmental monitoring. Readiness of data support for user community is thus essential to the success of the KOMPSAT program. As part of testing such readiness prior to the KOMPSAT launch, we have performed the preliminary acceptance test for the KOMPSAT data processing system using the simulated EOC and OSMI data sets. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the readiness of the KOMPSAT data processing system, and to help data users understand how the KOMPSAT EOC and OSMI data are processed and archived. Test results demonstrate that all requirements described in the data processing specification have been met, and that the image integrity is maintained for all products. It is however noted that since the product accuracy is limited by the simulated sensor data, any quantitative assessment of image products can not be made until actual KOMPSAT images will be acquired.
