SeaWiFS자료를 Maximum Normalized Difference Carbon Index(MNDCI) 알고리즘을 이용하여 추정된 particulate organic carbon(POC)는 장강에서 유입된 담수의 영향을 받는 동중국해에서 시/공간적 해양환경 변화를 조사하는데 사용했다. 10년 평균한 POC 농도는 (1997년-2007년) 뚜렷한 계절적 변화를 보인다. POC 경년 변화는 전체 지역 평균값과 표준편차를 이용하여 세 개의 지역으로 나누어 평균한 결과에서 1998년 이후 꾸준한 감소를 보이는 장강과는 달리 감소되는 경향이 관측되지 않았다. 자세한 POC 시/공간적인 변화를 관측하기 위하여, 2000년부터 2007년까지 여름철 (6월-9월) 자료를 선정하여 empirical orthogonal function(EOF) 분석을 실시하였다. 첫 번째 성분은 장강으로부터 유입되는 담수의 영향으로 공간적인 변화가 이루어졌다. 두 번째 성분은 장강의 유출량과는 약한 상관관계를 보이고, 공간적으로 남-북 방향의 변화가 관측되었다. 2000년부터 2003년까지 상대적으로 높은 POC 분포는 연구지역 남쪽 부분에서 나타난다. 2004년부터 2007년까지 이런 변화는 연구지역 북쪽 부분에서 관측되었다. 장기적인 변화는 방류량의 감소에 의한 영향보다는 공간적인 변화에 기인한 것으로 사료되며, 이는 현장 관측자료에서 유사한 결과를 보였다.

Argo drifters provide information of the vertical structure in the water column and have a potential for the improvement of understanding phytoplankton primary production and biogeochemical cycles in combination with ocean color satellite data, which can obtain the horizontal distribution of phytoplankton biomass in the surface layer. Our examples show that using Argo drifters with satellite-measured horizontal distribution of phytoplankton biomass at the sea surface allow an improved understanding of the development of the spring bloom. The other possible uses of Argo drifter are discussed.

The monitoring activities at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) in Korea have been extended to include all the coastal waters of Korea after the outbreak of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms in 1995. We used several alternative methods including climatological analysis, spectral and optical methods which may offer potential detection of the major species of red tide in Korean waters. In the climatological analysis, NOAA, SeaWiFS, OCM satellite data was chosen using the known C. polykrikoides red tide bloom data and the area was mapped by helicopter reconnaissance and ground observation. The relationship between the distribution of sea surface temperature to C. polykrikoides bloom areas was studied. The anomalies of SeaWiFS chlorophyll a imageries against the imageries of non-occurring red tide for August, 2001 showed where the C. polykrikoides occurred. The anomalies of chlorophyll a concentrations from the satellite data during red tide outbreaks showed a similar distribution of C. polykrikoides in the red tide in August, 2001. The distribution between differences in sea surface temperatures during the day and at night also showed a possibility for red tide detection. We used a corrected vegetation index (CVI) to detect floating vegetation and submerged vegetation containing algal blooms. The results of from the optical absorption of C. polykrikoides in the ultraviolet band (340 nm) showed that if we use the optical characteristics from each red tide, we will be able to establish the feasibility of red tide detection.

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.

본 연구의 목적은 Landsat TM 자료를 이용하여 시화호로부터 황해로 방류되는 오염된 시화호물의 방류범위를 해석하는 것이다. 본 연구지역은 Case 2 water에 속하는 지역이기 때문에 엽록소와 부유사의 정량적인 해석을 위한 알고리듬을 적용하는데는 한계가 있다. 본 연구의 초점은 다중시기의 Landsat TM 자료를 이용하는데 있다. 즉, 시화호로부터 방류되는 방류수의 공간적인 확산범위를 관측하기 위해 주성분분석을 적용하였다. 주성분분석의 결과는 엽록소, 부유사, 투명도, 표층수온, SeaWiFS 채널의 수중광학 측정결과인 반사치와 비교하였다. 그리고, PRR-600에 의해 얻어진 수중 광학 반사치는 Landsat TM 자료에서 얻어진 주성분분석 결과와 함께 분석되었다. 이러한 현장관측자료를 바탕으로 비록 다른 현장관측 측정변수가 낮은 상관관계를 나타냈음에도 불구하고 투명도(Secchi Disk Depth)와 주성분분석의 제 1 성분이 $R^2$=0.7631의 좋은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 다중시기의 원격탐사자료를 사용하여 주성분분석을 할 때 나타나는 여러 문제를 토의하였다.

Complex physical, chemical and biological interactions off the Korean coast created several striking patterns in the phytoplankton blooms, which became conspicuous during the measurements of ocean color from space. This study concentrated on analyzing the spatial and temporal aspects of phytoplankton chlorophyll variability in these areas using an integrated dataset from a Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Advanced Very High Resolution (AVHRR) sensor, and Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) sensor. The results showed that chlorophyll concentrations were elevated in coastal and open ocean regions, with strong summer and fall blooms, which appeared to spread out in most of the enclosed bays and neighboring waters due to certain oceanographic processes. The chlorophyll concentration was observed to range between 3 and $54\;mg\;m^{-3}$ inside Jin-hae Bay and adjacent coastal bays and 0.5 and $8\;mg\;m^{-3}$ in the southeast sea offshore waters, this gradual decrease towards oceanic waters suggested physical transports of phytoplankton blooms from the shallow shelves to slope waters through the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) along the Tsushima Strait. Horizontal distribution of potential temperature $(\theta)$ and salinity (S) of water off the southeastern coast exhibited cold and low saline surface water $(\theta and warm and high saline subsurface water $({\theta}>12^{\circ}C; S>34.4)$ at 75dBar, corroborating TWC intrusion along the Tsushima Strait. An eastward branch of this current was called the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC), tracked with the help of CTD data and satellite-derived sea surface temperature, which often influenced the dynamics of mesoscale anticyclonic eddy fields off the Korean east coast during the summer season. The process of such mesoscale anticyclonic eddy features might have produced interior upwelling that could have shoaled and steepened the nutricline, enhancing phytoplankton population by advection or diffusion of nutrients in the vicinity of Ulleungdo in the East Sea.

Spatial and temporal aspects of toxic dinoflagellate Cochlodinium.p blooms and consequences of physical features in complex coastal ecosystems, off the southern Korean coast, have been investigated using data obtained from SeaWiFS and AVHRR as well as in-situ observations. Hydrographic parameters measured using CTD sensors were used to elucidate physical factors affecting the spatial distribution and abundance of Cochlodinium.p blooms. The results show spatial and temporal variations of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and sea surface temperature (SST) and reveal significant information about Cochlodinium.p blooms and process underlying their evolution. Satellitederived Chl-a estimates appear to be potential in explicating the evolution, movement and distribution of Cochlodinium.p blooms in the enclosed bays of the South Sea. The existence of thromohaline waters offshore provide favorable conditions for the rapid growth and subsequent southward initiation of Cochlodinium.p blooms that are influenced to flow on the offshore branch (OB) during September. It was observed that there was a significant variation in the sun-induced chlorophyll-a fluorescence signal in the remote sensing fluorescence spectra and its high-intensity was recognized during the period of exponential growth and physical transport. Satellite-derived Chl-a concentration during September 1999 ranged between $3­60mg/m^3$ inside the Jin-hae and adjacent Bays and $1-6mg/m^3$ in offshore waters, with varying Cochlodinium.p abundances 1500 to 26000 cells $ml^{-1}.$ The closely spaced CTD surveys and satellite-derived SST give a complete overview on the initiation of Cochlodinium.p blooms in hydrodynamically active regions of the offshore southern East Sea by the influence of Tsushima Warm Current (TWC).

세계 최초로 정지 상태로 해색을 관측하는 정지궤도해색탑재체(GOCI, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) 값의 보정을 위해서는 기존의 방법이 아닌 새로운 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 GOCI의 특별한 특성에 맞는 새로운 대기보정 방법과 양방향성 광반사 분포함수(BRDF, Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) 보정 방법을 소개하고자 한다. GOCI의 대기보정을 위해서 스펙트럼 형태 조화기법(SSMM, Spectral Shape Matching Method)과 Sun Glint Correction Algorithm(SGCA)을 개발하였고, BRDF 보정을 위하여 해수의 고유광특성(IOP, Inherent Optical Property) 값을 이용하는 새로운 방법을 개발하였다. 각 방법은 한반도 주변 해역을 관측한 Sea Viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor(SeaWiFS) 위성영상을 이용하여 적용하였다. 클로로필 농도 분포 영상을 만들어 본 결과 기존의 방법으로 얻기 어려웠던 탁도높은 해역과 에어로졸의 영향을 많이 받는 지역에서 보다 정확한 자료를 얻을 수 있었다.

Satellite sea ice data from 1978 to the present reveal that the perennial ice (or ice that survives the summer) has been rapidly declining at almost 10% per decade. Warming due to increases in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is now also being reflected in winter with drastic reductions in the maximum extent observed in 2005 and 2006. The retreat of the perennial ice also exposes more open water and has revealed an asymmetric distribution of chlorophyll a pigment concentration in the Arctic basin. Phytoplankton blooms are most dominant at high latitudes, partly on account of sea ice, but in the Arctic basin, it appears that pigment concentrations in the Eastern (Laptev Sea) Region are on the average three times higher than those in the Western (Beaufort Sea) Region. Such asymmetry suggests that despite favorable conditions provided by the melt of sea ice, there are other factors that affects the productivity of the region. The asymmetry is likely associated with much wider shelf areas in the East than in the West, with sea ice processes that inhibits the availability of nutrients near the surface in deep water regions, and river run-off that affects nutrient availability. The primary productivity in the pan-Arctic region have been estimated using the pigment concentrations and PAR derived from SeaWiFS data and the results show large seasonal as well as interannual variability during the 1998 to 2005 period. The data points towards increasing productivity for later years but with only 9 years of data it is too early to tell the overall effect of the sea ice retreat.

One of the most difficult parameters to measure in the sea is current speed and direction. Recently, efforts are being made to estimate the ocean current vectors by utilizing sequential satellite imageries. In this study, we attempted to estimated sea surface current vector (sscv) by using satellite ocean color imageries of SeaWifs around the Korean Peninsula. This ocean color image data has 1-day sampling interval and spatial resolution of 1x1 km. Maximum cross-correlation method is employed which is aimed to detect similar patterns between sequential images. The estimated current vectors are compared to the surface geostrophic current vectors obtained from altimeter of sea level height data. In utilizing the color imagery data, some limitations and drawbacks exist so that in warm water region where phytoplankton concentration is relatively lower than in cold water region, estimation of sscv is poor and unreliable. On the other hand, two current vector fields agree reasonably well in the Korean South Sea region where high concentration of chlorophyll-a and weak tide is observed. In the future, with ocean color images of shorter sampling interval by COMS satellite, the algorithm and methodology developed in the study would be useful in providing the information for the ocean current around Korean Peninsula.
