본 논문에서는 대전상관기의 다중 편파 관측데이터의 상관처리 방법에 대해 기술한다. VLBI 관측에는 천체의 종류에 따라 단일 또는 다중 편파 관측이 있는데, 천체의 특성을 잘 관찰하기 위해 편파관측을 수행한다. 그리고 천체를 관측하는 동안 관측장치에 포함된 지연값과 천체의 변동원인을 확인하기 위해서도 편파관측을 수행한다. 대전상관기의 편파관측 데이터의 상관처리는 각 안테나 유닛에 입력되는 데이터를 출력하는 동기재생처리장치의 OCTAVIA에서 출력비트 선택 기능을 활용하여 비트를 변환하고, 이때 데이터 스트림(Stream)의 순서가 변경되며, 대전상관기의 입력은 기존의 스트림 번호는 동일하게 설정하여 상관처리를 수행하면 편파상관처리를 할 수 있는 구성을 제안하였다. 편파상관처리를 위해 관측한 시험데이터를 대상으로 상관처리를 수행하였으며, 본 연구에서 제안한 대전상관기의 편파상관처리 방법이 유효하게 동작하고 있음을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

The Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC predicted that global warming is already happening and it should be caused from the increase of greenhouse gases by the extension of human activities. These global changes will give a serious influence for human society. Global environment can be monitored by the earth observation using satellite. For the observation of global climate change and resolving the global warming process, satellite should be useful equipment and its detecting data contribute to social benefits effectively. JAXA (former NASDA) has made a new plan of the Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) for monitoring of global environmental change. SGLI (Second Generation GLI) onboard GCOM-C (Climate) satellite, which is one of this mission, provides an optical sensor from Near-DV to TIR. Characteristic specifications of SGLI are as follows; 1) 250 m resolutions over land and area along the shore, 2) Three directional polarization observation (red and NIR), and 3) 500 m resolutions temperature over land and area along shore. These characteristics are useful in many fields of social benefits. For example, multi-angular observation and 250 m high frequency observation give new knowledge in monitoring of land vegetation. It is expected that land products with land aerosol information by polarization observation are improved remarkably. We are studying these possibilities by ground data and satellite data.

We present the preliminary results from 86 GHz GMVA observations on 2 AGN - 0954+658 and 0716+714. The observation was taken with the Global mm-VLBI Array in Oct. 2010, with dual polarization mode. The aim of the observation is to produce the polarization maps of the sources, with the Stokes parameters - I, Q, U and V. The final results will be used for estimating the strength of the intrinsic magnetic field and the geometries of AGN jets.

We chose the Kushiro wetland in Hokkaido, Japan, as a test site to monitor wetland areas. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can carry out continuous observation in any weather conditions, and can therefore be used to observe high humidity areas such as wetlands. We applied multi-parameter SAR data (dual-frequency, multi-polarization, and multi-incidence angle) to monitoring the wetland forest. To find the optimum incidence angle and polarization for monitoring the wetland biomass, a simple backscattering model of wetland vegetation was developed and applied to estimate backscattering coefficients for different biomass and surface conditions.

Multiscattering occurs when a laser transmits into dense atmosphere targets (e.g. fogs, smoke or clouds), which can cause depolarization effects even though the scattering particles are spherical. In addition, multiscattering effects have additional information about microphysical properties of scatterers. Thus, multiscattering can be utilized to study the microphysical properties of the liquid water cloud. In this paper, a Monte Carlo method was used to simulate multi-scattering transmission properties of Lidar signals in the cloud. The results showed the slope of the degree of linear polarization (SLDLP) can be used to invert the extinction coefficient, and then the cloud effective size (CES) and the liquid water content (LWC) may be easily obtained by using the extinction coefficient and saturation of the degree of linear polarization (SADLP). Based on calculation results, a microphysical properties inversion method for a liquid cloud was presented. An innovative multiscattering polarization Lidar (MSPL) system was constructed to measure the LWC and CES of the liquid cloud, and a new method based on the polarization splitting ratio of the Polarization Beam Splitter (PBS) was developed to calibrate the polarization channels of MSPL. By analyzing the typical observation data of MSPL observation in the northern suburbs of Nanjing, China, the LWC and CES of the liquid water cloud were obtained. Comparisons between the results from the MSPL, MODIS and the Microwave radar data showed that, the microphysical properties of liquid cloud could be retrieved by combining our MSPL and the inversion method.

We proposed a new retrieval method for aerosol's real part of refractive index, optical thickness, and Angstrom exponent using POLDER's directional reflectance and polarization data. We showed that aerosol's real part of refractive index can be retrieved systematically using multi-directional PR(polarization and reflectance) diagrams in a single infrared band by our algorithm for the first time. We examined the retrieved results, by comparing with the simultaneously measured sky observation data at the study site and we obtained a reasonable agreement between them.

Wind speeds have long been estimated from C-band VV-polarized SAR data by using the CMOD algorithms such as CMOD4, CMOD5, and CMOD_IFR2. Some SAR data with HH-polarization without any observations in VV-polarization mode should be converted to VV-polarized value in order to use the previous algorithms based on VV-polarized observation. To satisfy the necessity of polarization ratio (PR) for the conversion, we retrieved the conversion parameter from full-polarized SIR-C SAR image off the east coast of Korea. The polarization ratio for SIR-C SAR data was estimated to 0.47. To assess the accuracy of the polarization ratio coefficient, pseudo VV-polarized normalized radar cross section (NRCS) values were calculated and compared with the original VV-polarized ones. As a result, the estimated psudo values showed a good agreement with the original VV-polarized data with an root mean square error by 0.99 dB. We applied the psudo NRCS to the estimation of wind speeds based on the CMOD wind models. Comparison of the retrieved wind field with the ECMWF and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis wind data showed relatively small rms errors of 1.88 and 1.91 m/s, respectively. SIR-C HH-polarized SAR wind retrievals met the requirement of the scatterometer winds in overall. However, the polarization ratio coefficient revealed dependence on NRCS value, wind speed, and incident angle.

본 연구에서는 이중편파 레이더 추정강우의 홍수예보 활용성을 평가하였다. 비슬산 강우레이더 100 km 반경 내 AWS (Automatic Weather System) 123개 관측소를 대상으로 레이더 추정강우의 오차를 레이더 반경 및 강우강도의 증가에 따라 평가하였다. 이중편파 레이더 추정강우가 단일편파 레이더 추정강우에 비해 오차가 작은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 이중편파 레이더 추정강우의 홍수예보 활용성 평가 및 적용을 위해 유역평균강우량을 산정하여 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 이중편파 레이더 추정강우가 단일편파 레이더 추정강우에 비해 관측치에 유사하게 나타났으며, 강우형태에 관계없이 강우 강도가 강한 부분에서 이중편파 레이더의 정확도가 향상됨을 보였다. 그러나 차등반사도를 통해 산정된 강우는 과대추정되는 경향이 나타났다. 연속형 저류함수모형인 SURR 모형에 적용하여 남강댐 유역에 대한 유출해석을 수행하였다. 이중편파 레이더 추정강우를 통한 유출량이 단일편파 레이더 추정강우에 비해 유출용적오차는 약 12~63%, 첨두유량오차는 약 30~42% 감소하였으며, 평균제곱근오차 또한 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이중편파 레이더에 의해 산정된 유역평균강우량을 유출모형에 적용할 경우 AWS 강우로부터 추정된 유출결과보다 더 우수한 경우가 있어 향후 홍수예보 활용 시 예보의 정확도 향상에 기여하리라 판단된다.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is an imaging radar which can scan and image Earth System targets without solar illumination. Most Earth observation Shh systems operate in X-, C-, S-, L-, and P-band frequencies, where the shortest wavelength is approximately 1.5 cm. This means that most opaque objects in the SAR signal path become transparent and SAR systems can image the planetary surface targets without sunlight and through rain, snow and/or even volcanic ash clouds. Most conventional SAR systems in operation, including the Canada's RADARSAT-1, operate in one frequency and in one polarization. This has resulted in black and with images, with which we are familiar now. However, with the launching of ENVTSAT on March 1 2002, the ASAR system onboard the ENVISAT can image Earth's surface targets with selected polarimetric signals, HH+VV, HH+VH, and VV+HV. In 2004, Canadian Space Agency will launch RADARSAT-II, which is C-band, fully polarimetric HH+VV+VH+HV. Almost same time, the NASDA of Japan will launch ALOS (Advanced land Observation Satellite) which will carry L-band PALSAR system, which is again fully polarimetric. This means that we will have at least three fully polarimetric space-borne SAR system fur civilian operation in less than one year. Are we then ready for this new all weather Earth Observation technology\ulcorner Actual imaging process of a fully polarimetric SAR system is not easy to explain. But, most Earth system scientists, including geologists, are familiar with polarization microscopes and other polarization effects in nature. The spatial resolution of the new generation of SAR systems have also been steadily increased, almost to the limit of highest optical resolution. In this talk some new applications how they are used for Earth system observation purpose.

Polarimetry is a powerful technique to investigate the physical properties of surface materials on airless bodies in the solar system. It is known that the degree of linear polarization changes as a function of the phase angle (the angle between Sun-target-Observer). Especially, the dependency of the polarization degree at large phase angle allows us to obtain information related to the particle size and porosity, which is difficult to be determined via other observation techniques (i.e., photometry and spectroscopy). However, despite the advantage, only a few asteroids were observed with polarimetric devices at large phase angles. Here, we present our new polarimetric research of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) observed at the large phase angles. Among the NEAs, we focus on S- and Q-type asteroids, which include: (331471) 1984 QY1, (90075) 2002 VU94, and (66391) 1999 KW4. The observation was conducted using the Pirka 1.6-m Telescope at the Nayoro Observatory of Hokkaido University at the phase angles ${\alpha}{\sim}100degree$, which provides us the maximum polarization degrees of these objects. Considering the observational results together with two objects ((1566) Icarus and (4179) Toutatis) in reference papers [1], [2], we will discuss the implication of the regolith size on their surfaces.
