In this study, the Global Positioning System (GPS) data collected by the GPS receivers that were established as continuously operating reference stations by Central Weather Bureau and Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan are utilized to investigate the impact of atmospheric water vapor on GPS positioning determination. The surface meteorological measurements that were concurrently acquired by instruments co-located with the GPS receivers include temperature, pressure and humidity data. To obtain the influence of the baseline length on the proposed impact study, four baselines are considered according to the locations of the permanent GPS sites. The length of the shorter baseline is about 66km, while the longer is about 118 km. The results from the studies associated with different baseline lengths and ellipsoid height were compared for the cases with and without a priori knowledge of surface meteorological measurements. The finding based on 66 days measurements is that the surface meteorological measurements have a significant impact on the positioning determination for the longer baseline case. The associated daily maximum differences are 1.1 cm and 1.4 cm for the baseline and ellipsoid height respectively. The corresponding biases are -8.1 mm in length and -7.3 mm in el lipsoid height.

Surface Solar Insolation is important for vegetation productivity, hydrology, crop growth, etc. However, ground base measurement stations installed pyranometer are often sparsely distributed, especially over oceans. In this study, Surface Solar Insolation is estimated using the visible and infrared spin scan radiometer(VISSR) data on board Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS)-S covering from March 2001 to December 2001 in clear and cloudy conditions. To retrieve atmospheric factor, such as, optical depth, the amount of ozone, H20, and aerosol, SMAC (Simplified Method for Atmospheric Correction) code, is adopted. The hourly Surface Solar Insolation is estimated with a spatial resolution of $5km\;\times\;5km$ grid. The daily Surface Solar Insolation is derived from the available hourly Surface solar irradiance, independently for every pixel. The pyranometer by the Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA) is used to validate the estimated Surface Solar Insolation with a spatial resolution of $3\;\times\;3Pixels.$

A micro-pulse LIDAR system (MPL) was employed to measure the aerosol over Pudong, Shanghai from July 2008 to January 2009. Based on Fernald method, aerosol optical variables such as extinction coefficient were retrieved and analyzed. Results show that aerosol exists mainly in low layers; aerosol loading reaches its maximum in the afternoon, and then decreases with time until its minimum at night. Most of the aerosol concentrates in the layer below 3 km, and optical extinction coefficient in the layer below 2 km contributes 84.25% of that below 6 km. Two extinction coefficient peaks appear in the near surface layer up to 500 m and in the level around 1000 m. Aerosol extinction coefficient shows a seasonal downward trend from summer to winter.

Passive microwave sea surface temperatures (SST) were validated in the Northwest Pacific using a total of 102,294 collocated matchup data between Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) / GPM Microwave Sensor(GMI) data and oceanic in-situ temperature measurements from March 2014 to December 2016. A root-mean-square (RMS) error and a bias error of the GMI SST measurements were evaluated to $0.93^{\circ}C$ and $0.05^{\circ}C$, respectively. The SST differences between GMI and in-situ measurements were caused by various factors such as wind speed, columnar atmospheric water vapor, land contamination near coastline or islands. The GMI SSTs were found to be higher than the in-situ temperature measurements at low wind speed (<6 m/s) during the daytime. As the wind speed increased at night, SST errors showed positive bias. In addition, other factors, coming from atmospheric water vapor, sensitivity degradation at a low temperature range, and land contamination, also contributed to the errors. One of remarkable characteristics of the errors was their latitudinal dependence with large errors at high latitudes above $30^{\circ}N$. Seasonal characteristics revealed that the errors were most frequently observed in winter with a significant positive deviation. This implies that SST errors tend to be large under conditions of high wind speeds and low SSTs. Understanding of microwave SST errors in this study is anticipated to compensate less temporal capability of Infrared SSTs and to contribute to increase a satellite observation rate with time, especially in SST composite process.

Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) 기법은 기선 거리가 짧은 다중시기의 간섭도를 이용하므로 화산과 같은 산악지역을 관측하는데 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 SBAS기법을 이용하여 알라스카 알류산 열도에 위치한 시구암 화산의 지표 변위에 대해 2차원으로 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 위해 1992년부터 2008년까지 201트랙과 473 트랙의 ERS-1/2 위성자료를 수집하였으며, 각각의 자료에 대하여 차분 간섭기법(Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar, DInSAR)과 SBAS 알고리즘을 적용하였고, 지표 변위에 대한 시계열 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, LOS 방향의 지표 변위도를 이용하여 수평 방향과 수직 방향의 지표 변위를 계산하였다. 그 결과, Pyre peak 주변에서 LOS 방향으로는 연간 -1~2 cm의 침하가 나타났으나, 수직 방향으로 계산한 결과는 연간 -2~3 cm의 침하가 나타났고, 수평 방향으로는 수축과 팽창이 반복되었다. 수직 방향과 수평 방향에서의 관측은 화산 활동에 대한 영향을 잘 설명할 수 있기 때문에, 마그마원의 움직임을 감시 할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

After 30 years of KKP model analysis and extended 30 years of accuracy analysis, the unique correlation and various problems between measured horizontal surface insolation and measured weather data are found in this paper. The KKP model's 10yrs daily total horizontal surface insolation forecasting was averaged about 97.7% on average, and the forecasting accuracy at peak times per day was about 92.1%, which is highly applicable regardless of location and weather conditions nationwide. The daily total solar radiation forecasting accuracy of the modified KKP cloud model was 98.9%, similar to the KKP model, and 93.0% of the forecasting accuracy at the peak time per day. And the results of evaluating the accuracy of calculation for 30 years of KKP model were cloud model 107.6% and cloud model 95.1%. During the accuracy analysis evaluation, this study found that inaccuracies in measurement data of cloud cover should be clearly assessed by the Meteorological Administration.

Although the positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been studied extensively and used widely, it is still limited due to errors from sources such as the ionospheric effect, orbital uncertainty, antenna phase center variation, signal multipath and tropospheric influence. This investigation addresses the tropospheric effect on GPS height determination. Data obtained from GPS receivers and co-located surface meteorological instruments in 2003 are adopted in this study. The Ministry of the Interior (MOl), Taiwan, established these GPS receivers as continuous operating reference stations. Two different approaches, parameter estimation and external correction, are utilized to correct the zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) by applying the surface meteorological measurements (SMM) data. Yet, incorrect pressure measurement leads to very poor accuracy. The GPS height can be affected by a few meters, and the root-mean-square (rms) of the daily solution ranges from a few millimeters to centimeters, no matter what the approach adopted. The effect is least obvious when using SMM data for the parameter estimation approach, but the constant corrections of the GPS height occur more often at higher altitudes. As for the external correction approach, the Saastamoinen model with SMM data makes the repeatability of the GPS height maintained at few centimeters, while the rms of the daily solution displays an improvement of about 2-3 mm.

A new Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) airborne measurement platform has been established for regular observations for scientific purpose over South Korea since late 2017. CRDS G-2401m analyzer mounted on the King Air 350HW was used to continuous measurement of CO₂, CH₄ and CO mole fraction. The total uncertainty of measurements was estimated to be 0.07 ppm for CO₂, 0.5 ppb for CH₄, and 4.2 ppb for CO by combination of instrument precision, repeatability test simulated in-flight condition and water vapor correction uncertainty. The airborne vertical profile measurements were performed at a regional Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Anmyeon-do (AMY) station that belongs to the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) and provides concurrent observations to the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) overpasses. The vertical profile of CO₂ shows clear altitude gradient, while the CH₄ shows non-homogenous pattern in the free troposphere over Anmyeon-do. Vertically averaged CO₂ at the altitude between 1.5 and 8.0km are lower than AMY surface background value about 7 ppm but higher than that observed in free troposphere of western pacific region about 4 ppm, respectively. CH₄ shows lower level than those from ground GAW stations, comparable with flask airborne data that was taken in the western pacific region. Furthermore, this study shows that the combination of CH₄ distribution in free troposphere and trajectory analysis, taking account of convective mixing, is a useful tool in investigating CH₄ transport processes from tropical region to Korean region in winter season.

Traditionally, it is measured by using basin or empirical formula with meteorology data, while it does not represent the evaportransporation over a regional area. With the advent of improved remote sensing technology, it becomes feasible to assess the ET over a regional scale. Firstly, the IMAGINE ATCOR atmospheric module is used to preprocess for the MODIS imagery. Then MODIS satellite images which have been corrected by radiation and geometry in conjunction with the in-situ surface meteorological measurement are used to estimate the surface heat fluxes such as soil heat flux, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux. In addition, the correlation coefficient between the derived latent heat and the in-situ measurement is found to be over 0.76. In the future, we will continue to monitor the surface heat fluxes of paddy rice field in Chiayi area.
