This study analyzed the applications of near real-time drought monitoring using satellite rainfall for the Korean Peninsula and un-gaged basins. We used AWS data of Yongdam-Dam, Hoengseong-Dam in Korea area, the meteorological station of Nakhon Rachasima, Pak chong for test-bed to evaluate the validation and the opportunity for un-gaged basins. In addition, we calculated EDI (Effective doought index) using the stations and co-located PERSIANN-CDR, TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission) TMPA (The TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis), GPM IMERG (the integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM) rainfall data and compared the EDI-based station data with satellite data for applications of drought monitoring. The results showed that the correlation coefficient and the determination coefficient were 0.830 and 0.914 in Yongdam-dam, and 0.689 and 0.835 in Hoengseng-Dam respectively. Also, the correlation coefficient were 0.830, 0.914 from TRMM TMPA datasets and compasion with 0.660, 0.660 based on PERSIANN-CDR and TRMM data in nakhon and pakchong station. Our results were confirmed possibility of near real-time drought monitoring using EDI with daily satellite rainfall for un-gaged basins.

In this study, we assessed meteorological and agricultural drought based on the SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index), SMP(Soil Moisture Percentile), and SMDI(Soil Moisture Deficit Index) indices using satellite-based TRMM(Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)/GPM(Global Precipitation Measurement) images at the province of Chungcheongbuk-do. The long-term(2000-2015) TRMM/GPM precipitation data were used to estimate the SPI values. Then, we estimated the spatially-/temporally-distributed soil moisture values based on the near-surface soil moisture data assimilation scheme using the TRMM/GPM and MODIS(MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images. Overall, the SPI value was significantly affected by the precipitation at the study region, while both the precipitation and land surface condition have influences on the SMP and SMDI values. But the SMP index showed the relatively extreme wet/dry conditions compared to SPI and SMDI, because SMP only calculates the percentage of current wetness condition without considering the impacts of past wetness condition. Considering that different drought indices have their own advantages and disadvantages, the SMDI index could be useful for evaluating agricultural drought and establishing efficient water management plans.

The stratiform rain fraction is investigated in the tropical boreal winter Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and summer intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Rader data for the 11-yr period from 1998 to 2008. Composite analysis shows that the MJO/ISO produces larger stratiform rain rate than convective rain rate for nearly all phases following the propagating MJO/ISO deep clouds, with the greatest stratiform rainfall amount when the MJO/ISO center is located over the central-eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific. The fraction of the intraseasonally filtered stratiform rainfall compared to total rainfall (i.e., convective plus stratiform rainfall) amounts to 53~56%, which is 13~16% larger than the stratiform rain fraction estimated for the same data on seasonal-to-annual time scales by Schumacher and Houze. This indicates that the MJO/ISO exhibits the organized rainfall process which is characterized by the shallow convection/heating at the incipient phase and the subsequent flare-up of strong deep convection, followed by the development of stratiform clouds at the upper troposphere.

가뭄감시는 기후변화로 인해 빈번히 발생하는 자연재해를 저감하기 위해 필요한 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 한반도 지역의 가뭄감시를 수행하기 위해서는 위성기반 강수량을 관측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 위성기반의 원시위성강우자료와 편의보정한 위성자료를 이용하여 위성기반 강수량의 정확도를 확인하였다. 서로 다른 공간/시간 해상도를 가지는 원시위성자료(TRMM TMPA, GPM IMERG)를 10 km로 재격자화 하고, 일단위로 변환하였다. 최종적으로 원시위성강우의 표준 시간대를 한반도 표준시(GMT+9)로 변환하여 데이터베이스를 구축하였다. 한반도를 대상지역으로 선정하여, 지상관측자료와 검증을 실시하였다. 편의보정 기법은 GRA-IDW 기법을 선정하여 수행하였다. 먼저 원시위성자료를 검증한 결과를 살펴보면, 상관계수는 1998년부터 2017년까지 0.775로 비교적 정확도가 높게 나왔으며, TRMM TMPA, GPM IMERG 각각의 10 km 일강수량 상관계수값은 0.776, 0.753으로 크게 차이 나지 않았다. BIAS값은 원시위성자료 값이 지상관측자료보다 과대추정하는 것으로 나타났다. 편의보정한 위성자료를 검증한 결과를 살펴보면, 상관계수와 RMSE가 편의보정 전보다 개선된 값을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서 검증한 위성강우자료는 가뭄감시시스템의 기초자료로 충분히 활용할 수 있으며, 향후 미계측지역의 가뭄관리 의사결정을 위한 격자자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Soil moisture, through its dominance in the exchange of energy and moisture between the land and atmosphere, plays a crucial role in influencing atmospheric circulation. To identify the crucial role, it is a common agreement that knowledge of land surface processes and development of remote sensing techniques are of great important scientific issues. This research uses TRMM satellite C band (10.65 GHz) data to retrieve soil moisture on the Tibetan Plateau in Mainland China. Two retrieval schemes that are implemented include the t-(J) model and the R model. The latter one is developed based on a land surface process and radiobrightness (R) model for bare soil and vegetated terrain. Compared with the in situ ground measurements, the soil moisture retrieved from the R model and the t-(J) model with vegetation information obviously appear more accurate than that derived from bare soil model. Retrieved soil moisture contents from the two inversion models, R model and t-(J) model, have a similar trend, but the former appears to be superior in terms of correlation coefficient and bias compared with in situ data. In the future, we will apply the R model with the TRMM 10.65 GHz brightness temperature to monitor long-term soil moisture variation over Tibet Plateau.

Convective/stratiform radar echo classification schemes by Steiner et al. (1995) and Biggerstaff and Listemaa (2000) are examined on a monsoonal front during the summer monsoon-Changma period, which is organized as a cloud cluster with mesoscale convective complex. Target radar is S-band with wavelength of 10cm, spatial resolution of 1km, elevation angle interval of 0.5-1.0 degree, and minimum elevation angle of 0.19 degree at Jindo over the Korean Peninsula. For verification of rainfall amount retrieved from the echo classification, ground-based rain gauge observations (Automatic Weather Stations) are examined, converting the radar echo grid data to the station values using the inverse distance weighted method. Improvement from the echo classification is evaluated based on the correlation coefficient and the scattered diagram. Additionally, an optimal use method was designed to produce combined rainfalls from the radar echo and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM/PR) data. Optimal values for the radar rain and TRMM/PR rain are inversely weighted according to the error variance statistics for each single station. It is noted how the rainfall distribution during the summer monsoon frontal system is improved from the classification of convective/stratiform echo and the use of the optimal use technique.

본 논문에서는 천리안(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite; COMS)과 TRMM(Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission)을 통하여 관측한 위성영상자료를 이용한 극치강우(Extreme Rainfall) 추정 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 2011년 7월 집중호우를 대상으로 그 적용성을 평가하였다. TRMM/PR(TRMM/Precipitation Radar)과 AWS(Automatic Weather System) 자료를 이용하여 고도에 따른 멱급수 회귀방정식으로 Z-R관계식을 추정한 결과 $Z=303R^{0.72}$를 산출하였으며, 지상관측 자료와 비교한 결과 상관계수가 0.57로 분석되었다. 이 값과 TRMM/VIRS(TRMM/Visible Infrared Scanner)와의 관계를 이용하여 극치강우알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 천리안 위성에 적용하여 10분강 우를 추정한 결과 강우강도가 큰 경우에는 과소 추정하는 경향이, 작은 경우에는 과대 추정하는 경향이 있는 것으로 분석되었으나, 전반적인 패턴은 관측과 유사한 경향이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 이 알고리즘을 같은 센서를 이용하는 천리안 위성에 적용하여 AWS의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 10분 강우량의 경우 상관계수는 0.517로 평균제곱근 오차는 3.146으로 분석되었고, 공간 상관행렬 오차의 평균은 -0.530~-0.228의 음의 상관을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 위성자료를 이용한 극치강우량 추정의 오차 발생 원인은 여러 가지 외부적인 요인으로 판단되며, 지속적인 알고리즘 개선 및 오차보정을 통한 정확도 개선이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 다양한 정지궤도위성의 이용을통 한 다중 원격탐사자료의 활용으로 보다 정확한 미계측 유역 수문자료 확충 및 실시간 홍수 예 경보 시스템 구축에 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

We present here, some of the studies carried for estimation of rainfall over land and oceanic regions in and around South Korea. We use active and passive microwave measurements from TRMM ? TMI and Precipitation Radar (PR) respectively during a typhoon even named ? RUSA that took place during 30 Aug. 2002. We have followed due approach by Yao at. all (2002) and examined the performance of their algorithm using two main predictor variable, named as Scattering Index (SI) and Polarization Corrected Brightness Temperature (PCT) while using TMI data. The rainfall fnus estimated using PST and SI shows some Underestimation as compared to the 2A25 rainfall products from the PR in common area of overlap. A larger database thus would be used in future. To establish a new rain rate algorithm over Korean region based on the present case study.

본 연구에서는 Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B43 V7 (25 km)의 월 누적 격자 강우량을 1 km 해상도로 상세화하기 위해 Support Vector Machine (SVM) 회귀를 활용한 상세화 기법을 제안하였다. 비선형 예측모델인 SVM은 상세화의 기반이 되는 다양한 수문기상인자와 강우 발생간의 월별 상관성 구축에 효율적으로 활용되었다. 상세화된 격자 강우는 전국에 고루 분포한 64개 지점 관측 강우와의 비교 분석을 통해 상세화 이전의 격자 강우 보다 다소 개선된 정확도를 지니는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히, 상세화 이전 격자 강우가 지니는 양의 Bias가 효과적으로 개선되었다. 상세화 전후의 공간분포 비교에서 두 분포는 평균적으로 유사했으나, 상세화 이전 강우의 공간분포에서 나타나지 않았던 강우의 국지적 특성이 상세화된 공간분포를 통해 잘 표현되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 일부 지점의 과소 및 과대산정이 상세화를 통해 개선되어 전반적인 정확도 향상에 기여하였음을 확인했다. 본 연구에서 제안된 상세화 기법이 적용된 격자 강우는 모델의 정확도 향상을 위한 고해상도 입력자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 추후 연구에서는 SVM 외에 다른 회귀 방식을 활용하여 최적의 강우 상세화 기법 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is a crucial watershed in Asia, impacting over 60 million people across six developing nations. Accurate satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) are essential for effective hydrological and watershed management in this region. However, the performance of SPPs has been varied and limited. The APHRODITE product, a unique gauge-based dataset for MRB, is widely used but is only available until 2015. In this study, we present a novel framework for correcting SPPs in the MRB by employing a deep learning approach that combines convolutional neural networks and encoder-decoder architecture to address pixel-by-pixel bias and enhance accuracy. The DLF was applied to four widely used SPPs (TRMM, CMORPH, CHIRPS, and PERSIANN-CDR) in MRB. For the original SPPs, the TRMM product outperformed the other SPPs. Results revealed that the DLF effectively bridged the spatial-temporal gap between the SPPs and the gauge-based dataset (APHRODITE). Among the four corrected products, ADJ-TRMM demonstrated the best performance, followed by ADJ-CDR, ADJ-CHIRPS, and ADJ-CMORPH. The DLF offered a robust and adaptable solution for bias correction in the MRB and beyond, capable of detecting intricate patterns and learning from data to make appropriate adjustments. With the discontinuation of the APHRODITE product, DLF represents a promising solution for generating a more current and reliable dataset for MRB research. This research showcased the potential of deep learning-based methods for improving the accuracy of SPPs, particularly in regions like the MRB, where gauge-based datasets are limited or discontinued.
