본 논문에서는 토양 표면의 레이더 후방 산란 계수와 표면 거칠기의 관계를 계산해 보고, 측정 길이에 따른 표면 거칠기 변화를 알아본 후에, 측정 길이에 따른 표면 거칠기와 레이더 후방 산란 계수의 관계를 보여준다. 이 연구 결과에 따르면, 측정 길이가 짧아져서 표면 거칠기 값의 변화가 심하다하더라도 계산된 레이더 후방 산란 계수에는 적은 영향밖에 주지 않는다는 것을 보여준다.

An in-situ probe-based spectrophotometer has been developed. This system used two spectrometers to measure soil reflectance spectra from 450 nm to 2200 nm. It collects soil electrical conductivity (EC) and insertion force measurements in addition to the optical data. Six fields in Kansas were mapped with the VIS-NIR (visible-near infrared) probe module and sampled for calibration and validation. Results showed that VIS-NIR correlated well with carbon in all six fields, with RPD (the ratio of standard deviation to root mean square error of prediction) of 1.8 or better, RMSE of 0.14 to 0.22%, and $R^2$ of 0.69 to 0.89. From the investigation of carbon variability within the soil profile and by tillage practice, the 0-5 cm depth in a no-till field contained significantly higher levels of carbon than any other locations. Using the selected calibration model with the soil NIR probe data, a soil profile map of estimated carbon was produced, and it was found that estimated carbon values are highly correlated to the lab values. The array of sensors (VIS-NIR, electrical conductivity, insertion force) used in the probe allowed estimating bulk density, and three of the six fields were satisfactory. The VIS-NIR probe also showed the obtained spectra data were well correlated with nitrogen for all fields with RPD scores of 1.84 or better and coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of 0.7 or higher.

토양의 용적수분 함량을 현장에서 측정할 수 있어 토양 내 물 이동이나 관개관리에 효과적으로 이용할 수 있는 6종의 토양수분 센서에 대한 검정을 실시했다. TDR형태의 센서가 2종으로 토양단면측정용인 TRIME과 탐침형태인 Mini-TRASE이었으며, 4종은 FDR 형태의 센서로 토양단면 측정용인 EasyAG, EnviroSCAN, PR-1과 탐침형태의 WET-1 센서였다. 코어로 측정한 용적수분함량과 비교한 결과 TRIME은 1차 선형식의 관계에서 코어측정값과 약 2.4%의 오차를 나타냈고, Mini-TRASE는 코어 용적 수분함량과 약 1.4%의 오차를 나타냈으며, 이 오차는 실험에 사용했던 7종의 센서들 중에서 가장 작은 값이었다. EasyAG는 SF로 분석했을 때는 코어측정값과 약 2.6%의 오차를 나타냈고, 센서로 측정한 토양 수분 함량을 코어수분함량과 직접적으로 비교했을 때도 역시 약 2.6%의 오차를 나타냈다. EnviroSCAN은 SF로 분석했을 때는 코어측정값과 약 2.8%의 오차를 나타냈고, 센서로 측정한 토양수분 함량을 코어수분 함량과 직접적으로 비교했을 때는 2.6%의 오차를 나타냈다. WET-1은 센서로 측정한 값과 코어로 실측한 값 사이에 약 2.0%의 오차가 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이것은 검정에 사용했던 FDR 센서들 중에서는 가장 작은 값이었다. PR-1은 측정시 access 튜브 내에서 방향을 조금씩 바꿀 때마다 측정값이 달리 나오는 경우가 많아 수분함량 측정횟수가 많지 않았으나 실측값과 약 4.7%의 오차를 보였다. 결론적으로 센서의 정확성을 검정하기 위해 사용된 6종의 센서 중 PR-1은 현장 측정에 문제가 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

The radon concentrations in soil air were measured before and after a rainfall. ²²⁶Ra concentration, porosity, moisture content and temperature in soil were measured at Kyungpook National University in Daegu. As the results of measurement and analysis, the arithmetic mean of measured ²²²Rn concentration increased from 12100 ± 500 Bq/㎥ to 16200 ± 600 Bq/㎥ after the rainfall. And the measured ²²⁶Ra concentration was 61.4 ± 5.7 Bq/kg and the measured porosity was 0.5 in soil. The estimated values of ²²⁶Ra concentration and porosity using diffusion model of ²²²Rn in soil were 60.3 Bq/kg and 0.509, respectively. The estimated values were similar to the measured values. ²²²Rn concentration in soil increased with depth and moisture content. The estimations were obtained through fitting based on the diffusion model of ²²²Rn using the measurement values. The measured depth profiles of ²²²Rn were similar to the calculated depth profiles of ²²²Rn in soil. We hope that the results of this study will be useful for environmental radiation analysis.

The purposes of this study are to develop three-layered Green-Ampt infiltration model considering temporal variation of physical properties of soil and to evaluate the model with field experiment on bare-tilled and soybean-growing soil plots under natural rainfalls. Infiltration tests were conducted on a sandy loam soil. The model has three-layered soil profile including a surface crust, a tilled layer, a subsoil and considers temporal variation of porosity, hydraulic conductivity, capillary pressure head on a tilled layer by natural rainfalls and canopy density variation of crop. Field measurement of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary presure head on a tilled layer were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter at regular intervals-after tillage. It was found that temporal variation of porosity and average hydraulic conductivity might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity of a tilled soil. The model was calibrated by an optimization technique, Hooke and Jeeves method using hourly surface runoff data. With the calibrated parameters, the model was verified satisfactorily.

Background: In situ gamma spectrometry has been used to measure environmental radiation, assumptions are usually made about the depth distribution of the radionuclides of interest in the soil. The main limitation of in situ gamma spectrometry lies in determining the depth distribution of radionuclides. The objective of this study is to develop a method for subsurface characterization by in situ measurement. Materials and Methods: The peak to valley method based on the ratio of counting rate between the photoelectric peak and Compton region was applied to identify the depth distribution. The peak to valley method could be applied to establish the relation between the spectrally derived coefficients (Q) with relaxation mass per unit area (${\beta}$) for various depth distribution in soil. The in situ measurement results were verified by MCNP simulation and calculated correlation equation. In order to compare the depth distributions and contamination levels in decommissioning KRR site, in situ measurement and sampling results were compared. Results and Discussion: The in situ measurement results and MCNP simulation results show a good correlation for laboratory measurement. The simulation relationship between Q and source burial for the source layers have exponential relationship for a variety depth distributions. We applied the peak to valley method to contaminated decommissioning KRR site to determine a depth distribution and initial activity without sampling. The observed results has a good correlation, relative error between in situ measurement with sampling result is around 7% for depth distribution and 4% for initial activity. Conclusion: In this study, the vertical activity distribution and initial activity of $^{137}Cs$ could be identifying directly through in situ measurement. Therefore, the peak to valley method demonstrated good potential for assessment of the residual radioactivity for site remediation in decommissioning and contaminated site.

This study explored the effect of rainfall pattern and soil characteristics on water management in rice paddy fields, using a soil water balance model, BUDGET. In two sites with different soil textural group, coarse loamy soil (Gangseo series) and fine soil (Hwadong series), respectively, we have monitored daily decrease of water depth, percolation rate, and groundwater table. The observed evapotranspiration (ET) was obtained from differences between water depth decrease and percolation rate. The root mean square difference values between observed and BUDGET-estimated ET ranged between 10% and 20% of the average observed ET. This is comparable to the measurement uncertainty, suggesting that the BUDGET model can provide reliable ET estimation for rice fields. In BUDGET model of this study, irrigation requirement was determined as minimum water need for maintaining water-saturated soil surface, assuming 100 mm of bund height and no lateral loss of water. The model results showed different water balance and irrigation requirement with the different soil profile and indicated that minimum percolation rate by plow pan could determine the irrigation requirement of rice paddy field. For the condition of different rainfall distribution, the results presented different irrigation period and amounts, representing the importance of securing water for irrigation against different rainfall pattern.

This study aims to analyze, by forming an experimental area of artificial soil green area that is of equal scale and analyzing the characteristics of runoff water in accordance with the cross-section configuration, applied the benefits in an actual multi-housing case study complex. In examining the measurement test results of the runoff water infiltration amount and surface runoff amount of a low-profile type green area(Dish type) and a general type green area(Mound type), Dish type was seen to have 1.5-times higher runoff water infiltration amount than Mound type during heavy rainfalls and showed about a 50% reduction with respect to the surface runoff amount. In other words, artificial soil green area offers the benefit of reduction of surface runoff amount and suggests, in actuality even with a change to the cross-sectional configuration of artificial soil green area alone at the time of construction of multi-housings, the possibility of benefits and reduction of costs spent on existing rainwater management facilities.

원토양인 논토양 위에 마사토를 적토(積土)한 토양에 대한 토양수분 특성곡선을 작성해 보고, 이를 추정하는데 가장 널리 활용되고 있는 van Genuchten (VG) 모형과 Brooks-Corey (BC) 모형을 비교평가 해 그 효용성을 판단하기 위해 수행했다. 4개의 층위로 구분되는 측정 대상토양은 표토부터 30 cm 까지는 양질사토, 30~70, 70~120 cm는 사토, 120 cm 이상에서는 사양토로 분석된 토양이다. 토양수분 함량과 토양수분 메트릭 퍼텐셜과의 관계를 나타내는 토양수분 특성곡선 분석에 따르면, 원토양인 120 cm 이상 깊이 토양에서의 수분보유 특성을 제외하고 나머지 세 개 층위 토양에서의 수분 보유 특성은 0~30 cm, 30~70 cm 층위는 비슷하고 70~120 cm 층위는 약간 높은 경향이었다. 상대수분 포화도와 토양수분 메트릭 퍼텐셜의 관계를 표현함에 있어 멱함수 형태인 BC 모형보다는 해석학적 분석방법을 활용한 VG모형이 실측값에 근사한 추정결과를 제공했다. 포화상태의 종점이자 불포화상태의 시발점인 공기유입가 (AEV) 추정에도 측정 한계치 부근의 메트릭 퍼텐셜 값을 나타내는 BC모형보다는 9.5~40 cm (4 kPa)을 보였던 VG모형이 적합했다. 따라서, 인위적으로 원토양 위에 석비레 (마사토)로 적토된 토양에서의 토양수분 특성곡선 작성을 위한 추정모형에 VG모형을 활용하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 이러한 결과로부터 VG 모형을 수자원량 산정을 위한 SCS (Soil Conservation Service, USDA) CN (Curve Number) 계산 과정에서 토양단면 내의 수분 보유 인자 (retention parameter) 산출을 위한 토양수분함량을 추정하는데 활용하거나 침투모형 (Green-Ampt Mein-Larson)을 설명하기 위한 습윤전선 매트릭 퍼텐셜을 추정하는데 사용할 수 있을 것이다.
