Coastal upwelling is a significantly imperative process for understanding the interactions between physical and ecological processes and has been investigated incessantly. In this study, we explored the upwelling index, specifically upwelling age (UA). UA enabled us to observe the initiating, sustaining, and decaying upwelling processes. Although the sensitivity of many other geophysical parameters to estimate UA has been investigated, the wind direction has not been evaluated. Thus, we assessed the appropriate wind direction for the UA and obtained efficient upwelling signals from the four coastal stations. Furthermore, we applied the UA and compared it with the satellite sea level anomaly, sea surface temperature, and chlorophyll-a changes to validate how UA depicts their spatial extents. Thus, UA can predict the timing of coastal upwelling events using predicted geophysical parameters.

북극해 및 남극해는 접근이 어려운 지역으로 해양환경 모니터링을 위해 원격탐사 기술을 이용한 관측이 효과적이다. 원격탐사 플랫폼인 인공위성, 무인기와 선박 등에 관측센서를 장착하여 연구지역의 환경변화를 모니터링하고 있지만 극지역의 다양한 환경에서는 시계열자료 및 광범위한 데이터가 필요하다. 특히 고위도 지역에서는 낮은 태양고도의 영향으로 광학원격탐사를 적용하기는 쉽지않다. 본 논문에서는 2010년도 부터 극지연구소 쇄빙연구선 아라온호에 초분광계 HyperSAS(Satlantic inc.)를 설치하여 연구항해 및 이동항해 동안 해수의 분광학적 정보를 연속적으로 획득하고, 극지 해색 원격탐사자료 성능개선을 위해 현장에서 해수샘플을 채수하며 수행하고 있는 연구를 소개한다. 해수 상부의 반사도와 현장 해수샘플링은 2010년부터 연속적으로 획득하고 있어 동일 지역에 대한 반사도의 시계열 변화를 모니터링할 수 있다. 또한 고위도에서부터 저위도까지 연속적으로 관측하여 위도별 반사도 값의 연속 변화를 파악할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 취득한 자료는 극지역에서 남극해, 북극해 해수의 반사도가 어떻게 변화하는지 이해하고, 반사도를 통한 엽록소, 부유물질 등의 다양한 인자를 추정하는 알고리즘 개발에 활용될 것이다.

Accurate ocean surface fluxes with high resolution are critical for understanding a mechanism of global climate. However, it is difficult to derive those fluxes by using ocean observation data because the number of ocean observation data is extremely small and the distribution is inhomogeneous. On the other hand. satellite data are characterized by the high density, the high resolution and the homogeneity. Therefore, it can be considered that we obtain accurate ocean surface by using satellite data. Recently we constructed ocean surface data sets mainly using satellite data. The data set is named by Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with Use of Remote sensing Observations (J-OFURO). Here, we introduce J-OFURO. The data set includes shortwave radiation, longwave radiation, latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, and momentum flux etc. Moreover, sea surface dynamic topography data are included in the data set. Radiation data sets covers western Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean because we use a Japanese geostationally satellite (GMS) to estimate radiation fluxes. On the other hand, turbulent heat fluxes are globally estimated. The constructed data sets are used and shows the effectiveness for many scientific studies.

As it was shown recently, climate changes in Antarctica resulted in interannual trends of some climatic parameters like sea level pressure, surface air temperature, ice thickness and others. These tendencies have effect on the Southern Ocean meteorological and hydrological regime. The following remote sensing data: AVHRR MCSST data, satellite altimetry data (merged data of mission ERS-2, TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, ENVISAT, GFO-1) are used to analyse the interannual and/or climatic tendency of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level anomaly (SLA). According to the obtained results, SST has negative trend $-0.02{\pm}0.003^{\circ}C/yr$ for 24-yr record (1982-2005) and SLA has positive trend $0.01{\pm}0.005$ cm/yr for 24-yr record (1982-2005) and $0.24{\pm}0.026$ cm/yr for 12-yr record (1993-2005). However in some areas (for example, Pacific-Antarctic Ridge) SST and SLA tendencies are stronger $-0.065{\pm}0.007^{\circ}C/yr$ and $-0.21{\pm}0.05$ cm/yr, respectively.

The synergism of active and passive microwave techniques for hurricane ocean wind remote sensing is explored. We performed the analysis of Windsat data for Atlantic hurricanes in 2003-2005. The polarimetric third Stokes parameter observations from the Windsat 10, 18 and 37 GHz channels were collocated with the ocean surface winds from the Holland wind model, the NOAA HWind wind vectors and the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) operated by the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The collocated data were binned as a function of wind speed and wind direction, and were expanded by sinusoidal series of the relative azimuth angles between wind and observation directions. The coefficients of the sinusoidal series, corrected for atmospheric attenuation, have been used to develop an empirical geophysical model function (GMF). The Windsat GMF for extreme high wind compares very well with the aircraft radiometer and radar measurements.

Yellow sand event has been studied using SeaWiFS data in order to examine the aerosol optical characteristics in the Yellow Sea and their influences on the atmospheric correction for the ocean color remote sensing. Two SeaWiFS images of April 18 and April 25, 1998, representing Yellow Sand event and clear-sky case respectively, are selected for emphasizing the impact of high aerosol concentration on the ocean color remote sensing. It was shown that NASA's standard atmospheric correction algorithm treats yellow sand area as either too high radiance or cloud area, in which ocean color information is not generated. SeaWiFS aerosol optical thickness is compared with nearby ground-based sun photometer measurements and also is compared with radiative transfer simulation in conjunction with yellow sand model, examining the performance of NASA's atmospheric correction algorithm in case of the heavy dust event.

Much effort has been made in the radiometric calibration of the ocean scanning multispectral imager (OSMI) since after the successful launch of KOMPSAT-1 in 1999. A series of calibration coefficients for OSMI detectors were obtained in collaboration with the NASA Sensor Intercomparison and Merger for Biological and Interdisciplinary (SIMBIOS) project office. In this study, we compare the OSMI level-2 products (e.g., chlorophyll-a concentration) calculated from the NASA cross-calibration coefficients with the SeaWiFS counterparts. Sample study areas are some of diagonostic data sites recommended by the SIMBIOS working group. We will present the preliminary results of this comparative study.

The present study aims to derive and compare narrow and broad bandwidths of ocean color sensor’s algorithms for the study of monitoring highly dynamic coastal oceanic environmental parameters using high-resolution imagery acquired from Multi-spectral Camera (MSC) on KOMPSAT-2. These algorithms are derived based on a large data set of remote sensing reflectances ($R_{rs}$) generated by using numerical model that relates $b_b/(a + b_b)$ to $R_{rs}$ as functions of inherent optical properties, such as absorption and backscattering coefficients of six water components including water, phytoplankton (chl), dissolved organic matter (DOM), suspended sediment (SS) concentration, heterotropic organism (he) and an unknown component, possibly represented by bubbles or other particulates unrelated to the first five components. The modeled $R_{rs}$ spectra appear to be consistent with in-situ spectra collected from Korean waters. As Kompsat-2 MSC has similar spectral characteristics with Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM), the model generated $R_{rs}$ values at 2 ㎚ interval are converted to the equivalent remote sensing reflectances at MSC and TM bands. The empirical relationships between the spectral ratios of modeled $R_{rs}$ and chlorophyll concentrations are established in order to derive algorithms for both TM and MSC. Similarly, algorithms are obtained by relating a single band reflectance (band 2) to the suspended sediment concentrations. These algorithms derived by taking into account the narrow and broad spectral bandwidths are compared and assessed. Findings suggest that there was less difference between the broad and narrow band relationships, and the determination coefficient $(r^2)$ for log-transformed data [ N = 500] was interestingly found to be $(r^2)$ = 0.90 for both TM and MSC. Similarly, the determination coefficient for log-transformed data [ N = 500] was 0.93 and 0.92 for TM and MSC respectively. The algorithms presented here are expected to make significant contribution to the enhanced understanding of coastal oceanic environmental parameters using Multi-spectral Camera.

해양의 모니터링을 위해서는 변화를 예측하는 과정이 필요하다는 것은 널리 인정되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) 자료를 이용하여 해양의 변화를 지시할 수 있는 반사도의 시계열 예측을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 다중 규모 Convolutional Long-Short-Term-Memory (ConvLSTM) 모델을 제안하였으며, GOCI-I 자료를 이용하여 모델을 학습하였다. 취득 기간이 다른 GOCI-II 자료를 이용하여 모델의 성능을 검증하였으며, 기존의 ConvLSTM 모델과 성능을 비교하였다. 비교 결과, 제안한 모델은 시공간적 특성을 모두 고려하여 반사도의 변화 경향성을 파악하는데 있어 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다. 장기 예측 결과를 통해 모델이 학습한 반사도의 시간적 변화 경향을 확인하였으며, 이를 이용한 주기적 변화 탐지가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

해색 원격탐사 자료의 처리과정에서는 일반적으로 관측 영역의 확보를 위해 시공간적 합성을 수행하며, 이 때 Level-2 flag를 참조하여 합성 재료가 되는 영상의 유효성을 판단한다. NASA OBPG의 표준 알고리즘은 stray light에 의한 관측 오차를 최소화하기 위해서 필터링 윈도우를 채택하고 있으나, 이로 인한 관측 영역의 손실이 많다. 이 연구는 유효 관측 영역의 복원/확장을 통한 해색 원격탐사 자료의 품질 향상에 목적을 둔다. 이를 위해서 MODIS/Aqua의 필터링 윈도우의 크기 변화에 따른 관측 영역과 클로로필a 농도 측정값의 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 유효 관측 영역에 있어 Level-2 swath 자료, Level-3 일별 합성자료, 8일 합성자료, 월별 합성자료에서 각각 $13.2({\pm}5.2)%$, $30.8({\pm}16.3)%$, $15.8({\pm}9.2)%$, $6.0({\pm}5.6)%$의 복원 효과가 발생하였으며, 표준 자료와의 측정값 차이는 공통 관측 영역에서 평균 0.012% 이하로 매우 유의하였다. 또한 공간 영역 확장으로 인해 시계열 자료에서의 관측 밀도도 상승하였으며 그 이득은 8일 합성자료에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 제안 방법을 통한 유효 영역의 확장은 자료 생산의 효율성뿐만 아니라 자료 분석의 통계적 신뢰성 확보의 측면에서도 해색 원격탐사 자료의 품질 향상에 기여할 수 있다.
