해빙은 지구의 태양에너지 흡수량 및 대기-해양간 열과 물질 교환을 조절함으로써 기후조절자의 역할을 하며 그 생성, 이동, 소멸은 인공위성에 의해 주기적으로 모니터링 되고 있다. 그러나 수동마이크로파방사계 관측을 중심으로 한 저해상 산출물은 해빙 표면이 빠르게 변하는 여름철에 정확도가 크게 떨어지며, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) 관측이 대체재로 떠오르고 있으나 그간의 연구는 주로 겨울철 해빙을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 이 연구에서는 SAR 영상과 global positioning system (GPS) 추적기를 이용하여 해빙의 거칠기, 높낮이, 구조 등 표면 상태 변화가 심한 늦여름~초가을 시기의 해빙 이동 추적 기술을 평가, 분석하였다. 그 결과 겨울철보다는 관측 불확실성이 증가하나 GPS 실측치와의 상관관계는 0.98로 우수했으며, 해빙 농도 50% 이상인 경우에 해빙 농도와 적용 알고리즘의 산출 성능은 상관관계 0.59로 서로 비례하는 것으로 나타났다.

Generally, trees lining the streets are the most easily accessible green areas in the city and constitute the smallest basic unit in the formation of the urban linear green axis. This study attempts to interpret issues related to city trees from a comprehensive and relational viewpoint. The site of this study is Central Park Street in front of Incheon Metropolitan City Hall. This street is representative of those in Incheon City. This study is an inter-relational interpretation of issues by measuring the vitality of these trees. The following are results of this study: First, the vitality of city trees is higher in those trees growing in natural ground than those growing in plant gratings. This observation can lead to budget savings and increased natural areas in the city. Also, if planter and multi-layering planting methods are introduced where damage to trees is predicted, variation to urban landscape can be achieved while linking to reinforced rearing foundation of street-side trees. Second, there is need for a holistic approach to caring for street-side trees regarding the damage caused by drastic pruning and strong street lights. The typical functions of these trees, like supplying freshness in summer, absorbing solar radiation, and controlling the urban micro-climate are closely related to the vitality of the trees. Accordingly, the function and ecology should be understood holistically, not separately. In this aspect, the functional and ecological use of the multi-layering planting method is effective in protecting pedestrians from vehicles as well. Third, the fallen leaves of monotonous rows of trees have different ecological and functional effects. Not only is the index of greenness in the urban setting increased, but there are also aesthetic and symbolic effects. Fourth, in spite of being the street along which Incheon Metropolitan City Hall, major administrative buildings and Central Park are located, this street does not have its own special identity to discriminate it from other streets. It fulfills only functional criteria based on uniformity. If there is no paradigm shift from today's street system based on vehicles, the role of landscape architecture will be very passive in regards to street-side trees, the minimum unit of urban green. Fifth, on this particular street, many trees were planted in December, which reflects a deficiency of short and long-term strategy, like a street-tree master plan. In this aspect, we still lack a mature culture concerning these trees as a basic unit in urban greenery. Furthermore, there needs to be cultural introspection concerning present administrative practices.
