Microwave remote sensing can help monitor the land surface water cycle, crop growth and soil moisture. A ground-based polarimetric scatterometer has an advantage for continuous crop using multi-polarization and multi-frequencies and various incident angles have been used extensively in a frequency range expanding from L-band to Ka-band. In this study, we analyzed the relationships between L-, C- and X-band signatures and soil moisture content over the whole soybean growth period. Polarimetric backscatter data at L-, C- and X-bands were acquired every 10 minutes. L-band backscattering coefficients were higher than those observed using C- or X-band over the period. Backscattering coefficients for all frequencies and polarizations increased until Day Of Year (DOY) 271 and then decreased until harvesting stage (DOY 294). Time serious of soil moisture content was not a corresponding with backscattering over the whole growth stage, although it increased relatively until early August (R2, DOY 224). We conducted the relationship between the backscattering coefficients of each band and soil moisture content. Backscattering coefficients for all frequencies were not correlated with soil moisture content when considered over the entire stage ($r{\leq}0.50$). However, we found that L-band HH polarization was correlated with soil moisture content (r=0.90) when Leaf Area Index (LAI)<2. Retrieval equations were developed for estimating soil moisture content using L-band HH polarization. Relation between L-HH and soil moisture shows exponential pattern and highly related with soil moisture content ($R^2=0.92$). Results from this study show that backscattering coefficients of radar scatterometer appear effective to estimate soil moisture content.

The German radar satellite TerraSAR was launched in 2007. In this study, interferogram is generated using TerraSAR-X data and DEM (Digital Elevation Model). Coregistration procedures used with SAR images (i.e. master and slave) in traditional method results in serious errors for high resolution TerraSARX data because of the mutual shift of the master and slave images due to topography. This error becomes more serious in mountainous areas in which the coherence between interferometric pairs is relatively low. Here we processed a geometric coregistration with DEM exploiting height information. Through the method, interferometry processing is fulfilled to generate a qualified interferogram and coherence is improved. This approach will help high resolution X-band SAR interferometry in mountainous area.

본 연구는 KICT X밴드 이중편파 레이더 관측자료를 이용하여, 우리나라 기상조건에서 X밴드 이중편파 레이더 $K_{DP}$ 추정 기법에 따른 강우강도 추정의 차이를 비교 검토하였다. 이중편파 레이더로 $K_{DP}$ 기반의 정확도 높은 강우강도 분포 추정에 있어, $K_{DP}$ 추정의 방법에 따라서 추정된 $K_{DP}$의 공간 분포는 상당한 차이를 보이게 된다. 추정 기법만을 볼 때, 이는 주로 ${\Phi}_{DP}$로부터 기울기를 산정하는 방법과 기울기를 산정하는 윈도우의 크기에서 차이가 발생한다. 윈도우의 크기는 일반적으로 호우의 강도에 따라 달리 적용하는 것이 $R-K_{DP}$ 관계에서 보다 정확도가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. $K_{DP}$ 산정 기법에 따른 차이 검토를 위해 기울기 산정 기법, 필터(FIR) 상수 및 ${\Phi}_{DP}$ 기울기 산정을 위한 윈도우 크기에 따른 강수 추정의 정확도를 검토하였다.

In this paper, we study the electromagnetic interference in adjacent antenna aperture of multi-function radar for Integrated MAST of naval ship, which is operating plural radars, with test result of two different X-band antennas. Two antennas is placed in the test fixture copying the part of Integrated MAST for the experiment. The test figure is modeled to see the electromagnetic interference when antenna beam is steered by using electromagnetic analysis tool. Also, 6 test scenarios is determined to verify experimentally and each test scenario is run in an anechoic chamber. At the test antenna #1 radiates a pulse signal and the signal from the antenna #2 is stored and analyzed in the optic data format through a receiving device. Based on the result, the effect of electromagnetic interference is suggested when multi-function radars in the Integrated MAST are operating in adjacent distance.

국립기상연구소(National Institute of Meteorological Research; NIMR)는 기상청 이중편파 레이더 현업운영에 대비하여 2009년 X-band 연구용 이중편파 레이더를 도입하였고, 편파변수의 산출과 대기수상체 분류를 포함한 강수추정 등의 효용 가능성에 대한 연구를 지난 2년간 수행하고 있다. 이중편파 레이더는 반사도( )뿐만 아니라 차등반사도($Z_R$), 비차등 위상($K_{DP}$), 상관계수($_v$)등의 편파 변수의 산출로 강우감쇠보정과 기상에코-비기상의 에코(ground clutter, insects, birds, chaff)의 구별이 가능하다. 이러한 장점들을 이용해 레이더 자료품질 개선과 정량적 강수추정의 상당한 개선에 도움이 된다. 본 연구에서는 강수추정 관계식 R-Z, 감쇠 보정된 R-Z, R-$K_{DP}$ 관계식을 이용하여 레이더 관측 반경 내에 존재 하는 81개의 지상 우량계 자료와 강수량 추정의 정확도 비교 검증을 실시하였다. 그리고 Fuzzy logic 기법을 이용한 대기수상체 분류 알고리즘을 사용하였고 관측사례는 2011년 수도권 관측을 통해 강설/강수 에코 구별과 우박에코 사례를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 이중 편파 레이더에서 산출된 고품질의 레이더기상자료를 기반으로 현업 예보지원 및 정량적 강우예측 향상에도 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
