  • Enhancement of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and surface aerosol mass concentration in Korea for an active forest fire episode in Northeast Asia were estimated by Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. MODIS/TERRA remote detects of fires in Northeast Asia for May 2003 gave a constraint for estimation of wildfire emissions with an NDVI distribution for recent five years. The simulated wildfire plumes and enhancement of AOT were evaluated and well resolved by comparing multiple satellite observations such as MODIS, TOMS, and others. Scatter plots of observed daily mean aerosol extinction coefficient versus $PM_{10}$ concentration in ground level in Korea showed distinctively different trends based on the ambient relative humidity.

  • 인접효과는, SWIR 데이터 상에 혼선 현상이 명백히 나타나지만, 본토와 반도의 해안지역에서 ASTER센서의 VNIR과 SWIR 데이터를 이용해서 논의된다. 이 분석의 목적은 정교한 스케일에서 대기와 해양환경의 광 특성을 이끌어 내기 위해서이다. 에어로졸 모델은 dust-like model을 따른다. Terra 위성 의 ASTER와 MISR은 이 모델을 적용한다. 데이터는 2000년 7월 10일 GMT1.55, 나고야 근처의 Atsuml 반도 ($34^{\underline{\circ}}40'N,\;134^{\underline{\circ}}00'E$) 에서 얻었다. VNIR 공간 분해능은 15m, SWIR은 30m이다.

  • This paper presents a modified mean curvature diffusion filter to smooth speckle noise in images. Mean curvature diffusion filter has already shown good results in reducing noise in images while preserving fine details. In the mean curvature diffusion, the rate of smoothing is controlled by the local value of the diffusion coefficient chosen to be a function of the local image gradient magnitude. In this paper, the diffusion coefficient is modified to be controlled adaptively by local image surface slope and heterogeneity. The local surface slope contributes to preserving details (e.g.edges) in image and the local surface heterogeneity helps the smoothing filter consider the amount of noise in both edge and non-edge area. The proposed filter's performance is demonstrated by quantitative experiments using speckle noised aerial image and TerraSAR-X satellite image.

  • The goal of this study is to retrieve ASTER thermal radiometry using a radiative transfer model. The MODTRAN is used for the model because it is easy to use with high spatial resolution and it is possible to specify input parameters such as profiles of temperature, water vapor density, ozone, aerosols and any of the other gasses. Most of parameters such as temperature and water vapor profiles were obtained from the Terra MODIS. The selected ASTER scene images land and coastal area. The surface radiance of ASTER TIR bands were retrieved by MODTRAN and extracted atmospheric profiles from MOD07 and US standard 76 models. Radiance estimated using MOD07 data was systematically lower by about 0.5-1.0 $W/m^2$ sr ${\mu}m$ than that by US standard 76 model between the two cases.

  • The shape of streamflow hydrograph during the early period of spring is very much controlled by the area and depth of snow cover especially in mountainous area. When we simulate the streamfolw of a watershed snowmelt, we need some information for snow cover extent and depth distribution as parameters and input data in the hydrological models. The purpose of this study is to suggest an extraction method of snow cover area and snow depth distribution using Terra MODIS image. Snow cover extent for South Korea was extracted for the period of December 2000 and April 2006. For the snow cover area, the snow depth was interpolated using the snow depth data from 69 meteorological observation stations. With these data, it is necessary to run a hydrological model considering the snow-related data and compare the simulated streamflow with the observed data and check the applicability for the snowmelt simulation.

  • In this paper, we use Newton's method to approximate a locally unique solution of an equation in Banach spaces and introduce recurrent functions to provide a weaker semilocal convergence analysis for Newton's method than before [1]-[13], in some interesting cases, provided that the Fr$\acute{e}$chet-derivative of the operator involved is p-H$\ddot{o}$lder continuous (p${\in}$(0, 1]). Numerical examples involving two boundary value problems are also provided.

  • 토양과 식물의 잎에서 일어나는 증발산은 주로 증발접시, 침루계 등을 이용하여 실측하거나 에디 공분산, Bowen 비 등을 이용하여 경험적으로 측정할 수 있으나, 이러한 지점별 실측 자료는 공간적인 변동성이 큰 수문기상인자 특성상 지역적인 대표값으로 적용하는 데 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 증발산 관측 방법의 단점을 보완하고자 인공위성 영상자료를 기반으로 한 원격탐사 기법을 이용하여 Penman-Monteith (PM)와 Priestley-Taylor (PT) 공간 증발산 산정 모형을 적용, 우리나라 증발산의 시공간적인 분포를 산정하였다. Terra 인공위성에 탑재된 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)로부터 제공되는 위성 영상 자료를 이용하여 기존에 연구된 증발산 모형을 이용하여 증발산을 산정하고 이를 상호 비교함으로써 우리나라에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 토양 및 식생이 소비하는 물의 양을 보다 정확하게 시공간적으로 파악하여 정부 차원의 수자원 관리 계획 수립에 유용하게 이용될 것이다.

  • In this study. the amounts of the total precipitable water (TPW) in both global and regional scale are estimated from the MODIS instrument, which is on-board the EOS satellites, Terra and Aqua. The estimation is made from the five near-infrared spectral bands, using a technique employing ratios of water- vapor absorbing channels centered at 0.905, 0.936, 0.940 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with atmospheric window channels at 0.865 and 1.240 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Through analyses of monthly and eight-days mean TPW, one can monitor characteristics of seasonal variations as well as amount and distribution (i.e., water resources) of TPW at both global and local regions. Long-term monitoring of TPW is essential to understand the regional variations of water resources in East Asia.

  • The permanent scatterer SAR interferometry (PSInSAR) technique has been developed more recently and has been applied to monitor slow but consistent ground subsidence. Since PSInSAR has the advantages in terms of baseline and temporal decorrelation, PSInSAR technique using X-band may also provide useful information about a ground deformation in detail. We developed our codes for a persistent scatterer analysis, and then apply to ERS-1/2 C-band data over Las Vegas in order to validate our new developed algorithm. Based on this test, PS technique using X-band observation such as TerraSAR-X or KOMSAT 5 will be developed.
