Point cloud-based 3D maps can obtain many kinds of information for maintenance work on forest road networks. This study was conducted to compare the importance of each factor to select the factors required for the mapping of 3D forest road maps. This can be used as basic data for attribute information required to maintain forest road networks. The results of this study found that out of a total of 30 indexes extracted for mapping 3D forest roads, a total of 21 indexes related to stakeholder groups were significantly different. The importance of the index required by the civil service group was significantly higher than that of the other groups overall. In the case of the academic group, the index importance for cut slope, fill slope, and drainage facility was significantly higher. On the other hand, the index importance for the forestry cooperative and forest professional engineer group was mostly distributed between the civil servants' group and the academic group. In particular, the type of drainage system showed the highest value among the detailed indexes. Overall, drainage related factors in this survey had high coefficient values. The impact of water on forest roads was the most important part in road maintenance. In addition, the soil texture had a high value in relation to slope stability. This is thought to be because the texture of the soil affects the stability of the slope.

In this paper, we design a system to monitor environmental data in fish farms in real-time and provide machine learning-based prediction services to prevent damage on fish farms caused by changes in the sea environment. The proposed system will install an IoT device module consisting of sensors that can measure hydrogen concentration, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and water temperature, which can be transferred to Cloud DB using LTE or LoRa communication technology and then monitor the real-time condition through a web or mobile application. In addition, it has a function to prepare for changes within the environment of fish farms by applying machine learning-based prediction technology using collected data.

Due to the low accuracy of measured data obtained from low-cost GNSS and IMU devices, it was hard to secure the required accuracy of the measured position and heading angle for autonomous navigation which was conducted by a model-scale marine mobility. In this paper, a localization technique using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is proposed for coping with the issue. First of all, a position and heading angle estimator is developed using EKF with the assumption of a point mass model. Second, the measured data from GNSS and IMU, including position, heading angle, and velocity are used for the estimator. In addition, the heading angle is additionally obtained by comparing the LiDAR point cloud with map information for a temporal water tank. The newly acquired heading angle is integrated into the estimator as an additional measurement to correct the inaccuracy in the heading angle measured from the IMU. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is investigated using data acquired from preliminary tests of the model-scale autonomous marine mobility.

In order to improve the adhesion of water-based adhesive, gemini type nonionic reactive surfactants were synthesized and applied to water-based adhesives. The surfactants were synthesized by using maleic acid and polyoxyethylene cetyl ether having different length of ethylene oxide and confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$. Their appearance was light yellow wax. The cloud point of the compound was more than $78^{\circ}C$. The measured critical micelle concentration (c.m.c) was $1.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}7.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$ and surface tension at c.m.c was 25.9~32.0 mN/m. As the number of ethylene oxide increased, the emulsifying power was improved. The foaming height of each compound by Ross-Miles method was 1.4~4.5 cm. The synthesized surfactants was then used as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization of water-based adhesives and its physical properties were evaluated. The solid contents of prepared adhesives was 59%. The average particle size and initial tackiness of the prepared adhesives were 164~297 nm and ball no. of 20~32, respectively. The peel strength was $1.8{\sim}2.1kg_f/mm$. The retention rate of adhesives viscosity was evaluated to 99% during 30 days. Therefore, synthesized gemini type nonionic reactive surfactants are expected to be applied as an emulsifier for the high adhesive force.

Spatial heterogeneous characteristics of solar radiation energy from Climate Change gives rise to energy imbalance in the general ecological system including water resources. This study is to estimate the $CO_2$ flux of South Korea using Terra MODIS image and to assess the reliability of MODIS data from the ground measured $CO_2$ flux by eddy covariance flux tower data at 3 locations (two at mixed forest area and one at rice paddy area). The MODIS Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) product (MOD17A2), 8-day composite at 1-km spatial resolution was adopted for the spatial $CO_2$ flux generation. The MOD17A2 data by noise like cloud and snow in a day were tried to fill by Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method from valid pixels and the damping effect of MOD17A2 data were corrected by Quality Control (QC) flag. The MODIS $CO_2$ flux was estimated as the sum of GPP and Re (ecosystem respiration) by Lloyd and Taylor method (1994). The determination coefficient ($R^2$) between MODIS $CO_2$ and flux tower $CO_2$ for 3 years (2011~2013) showed 0.55 and 0.60 in 2 mixed forests and 0.56 in rice paddy respectively. The $CO_2$ flux generally fluctuated showing minus values during summer rainy season (from July to August) and maintaining plus values for other periods. The MODIS $CO_2$ flux can be a useful information for extensive area, for example, as a reliable indicator on ecological circulation system.

The Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) from GPS with high resolution in terms of time and space might reduce the limitations of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model for easily variable phenomena, such as precipitation and cloud. We have converted to PWV from Global Positioning System (GPS) data of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and Ministry of Maritime Affairs & Fisheries (MOMAF). First of all, we have selected the heavy rainfall case of having a predictability limitation in time and space due to small-scale motion. In order to evaluate the effect for GPS PWV, we have executed the sensitivity experiment with PWV from GPS data over Korean peninsula in the Weather Research & Forecasting 3-Dimensional Variational (WRF-3DVAR). We have also suggested the direction of further research for an improvement of the predictability of NWP model on the basis of this case.

Contrail is type of clouds which are formed by a condensation of water vapour from the aircraft exhaust when the aircraft is flying the cold atmosphere. Since contrails have considerable effect on greenhouse-effect and military stealth efficiency, researches about contrail avoidance technology has been conducted for decades. However, none of the previous researches concerning contrail avoidance was carried out in Korea. Thus, review of the previous study regarding contrail reduction is absolutely needed. In this paper, researches conducted by several countries are categorically introduced, and practicabilities of their methods are analyzed. This paper also suggests some practical and systematized way to conduct future researches about contrail avoidance.

The purpose of this study is to trace the flood inundation area around rural small stream by using RADARSAT image because it has the ability of acquiring data during storm period irrespective of rain and cloud. For the storm August 9, 1998 in the Anseong-cheon watershed, three RADARSAT images before, just after and after the storm were used. After ortho-rectification using 5 m DEM, two methods of RGB composition and ratio were tried and found the inundated area in the tributary stream, the Seonghwan-cheon and the Hakjeong-cheon. The inundated area had occurred at the joint area of two streams, thus the floodwater overflowed bounding discharge capacity of the stream. The progression of damage areas were stopped by the local road and farm road along the paddy. The result can be used to acquire the flood inundation data scattered as a small scale in rural area.

Of late, demand for test sites for marine equipment such as ASV, AUV, ROV, and various underwater sensors is increasing. The authors have focused on an oscillating water column (OWC), which is being constructed near Chagwido Island Jeju, as one of the test-sites. The main objective of the OWC is to produce wave energy and develop technologies. It has been built in the sea approximately 1 km off the coast. It has berth accommodation and some rooms that can be used as laboratories. To investigate the feasibility of its usage as a test site for marine equipment, we acquired bathymetric data around the OWC by using a multi-beam echo sounder and a single-beam scanning sonar. The accessibility of the OWC from nearby ports and the use of support vessels or ships were also investigated. 3D point cloud data from the multi-beam echo sounder and 2D acoustic images from the scanning sonar are expected to be used as references for identifying changes over time. In addition, through these experiments, we derived a procedure to use this facility as a test site by using the IDEF0 functional modelling method. Based on this preliminary investigation and previously reported examples, we determined the general conditions and preferences for evaluating the performance of various marine equipment heuristically. Finally, we developed five applications that were derived from this investigation.

2011 년부터 2014 년까지 4 년간의 여름철에 한반도에 비교적 많은 강수를 남긴 23 개의 중규모 저기압-구름무리 집중호우 사례를 선정하여, 이들 사례에서의 중규모 저기압 발생과 이동 그리고 그것에 동반된 강수계에 의한 강수 발생을 수치예측하는 실험을 수행하였다. WRF 모델을 이용하여 12 km와 4 km 수평격자 크기로 수치실험을 진행하였으며, 각 사례에 대해 중규모 저기압이 발생한 시점을 초기 시각으로 하여 수치적분을 수행하였다. 수치실험 결과와 AWS 강수량 관측 자료를 $0.1^{\circ}{\times}0.1^{\circ}$ 격자에 각각 내삽한 후 비교하였다. 12 km 격자 실험에서는 25 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해 23개의 사례 중 9개 (39 %)만이 0.3이 넘는 성공임계지수(TS)를 나타냈고, 50 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해서는 17개 사례 중 7개 (41 %)의 사례에서 0.3이 넘는 TS가 나타났다. 4 km 실험에서는 25 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해 23개의 사례 중 10개 (43 %) 사례에서 0.3이 넘는 TS 값이 나타났고, 50 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해서는 17개 사례 중 7개 (41 %)로 나타나 WRF 모델의 수평격자 크기와 관계없이 비슷한 성능을 보였다. 중규모 저기압이 진행하는 경로에 따라 예측 능력에 차이가 나타났다. 23개 사례를 중규모 저기압 발생지점으로부터의 이동경로에 따라 준 직선 경로 사례 그룹, 곡선형 경로 사례 그룹, 정체사례 그룹으로 분류하여 각 그룹에 대해 예측 능력을 조사한 결과, 직전 경로 사례들에 대한 4km 격자 모델 예측은 55 %의 사례에서 0.3보다 큰 TS값을 보여, 30 %의 사례에서 0.3 이상의 TS 값을 보인 곡선형 경로 사례들에 대한 예측보다 상대적으로 높은 예측 신뢰도를 보여 주었다.
