The accuracy of satellite-observed sea surface salinity (SSS) was evaluated in comparison with in-situ salinity measurements from ARGO floats and buoys in the seas around the Korean Peninsula, the northwest Pacific, and the global ocean. Differences in satellite SSS and in-situ measurements (SSS errors) indicated characteristic dependences on geolocation, sea surface temperature (SST), and other oceanic and atmospheric conditions. Overall, the root-mean-square (rms) errors of non-averaged SMOS SSSs ranged from approximately 0.8-1.08 psu for each in-situ salinity dataset consisting of ARGO measurements and non-ARGO data from CTD and buoy measurements in both local seas and the ocean. All SMOS SSSs exhibited characteristic negative bias errors at a range of -0.50- -0.10 psu in the global ocean and the northwest Pacific, respectively. Both rms and bias errors increased to 1.07 psu and -0.17 psu, respectively, in the East Sea. An analysis of the SSS errors indicated dependence on the latitude, SST, and wind speed. The differences of SMOS-derived SSSs from in-situ salinity data tended to be amplified at high latitudes (40-60°N) and high sea water salinity. Wind speeds contributed to the underestimation of SMOS salinity with negative bias compared with in-situ salinity measurements. Continuous and extensive validation of satellite-observed salinity in the local seas around Korea should be further investigated for proper use.

염분은 해양의 밀도를 결정하는 중요한 변수이자 전지구 물의 순환을 나타내는 주요 인자 중 하나이다. 해상염분 관측은 선박을 이용한 현장조사, Argo 플로트, 부이를 통한 조사가 주로 수행되어 왔다. 2009년 염분관측 인공위성이 발사한 이래로, 위성 염분자료를 이용하여 전 지구 해역에서 표층 염분 관측이 가능해졌다. 그러나 위성 염분자료는 다양한 오차를 포함하기 때문에 연구 자료로 활용하기에 앞서 정확도 검증과정이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2015년 4월부터 2020년 8월까지 Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) 위성 염분자료와 이어도 해양과학기지에서 제공하는 실측 염분자료 간의 정확도 및 오차특성을 비교 분석하였다. 총 314개의 일치점을 생산하였으며, 염분의 평균제 곱근오차 및 평균편차는 각각 1.79, 0.91 psu로 제시되었다. 전반적으로 위성 염분이 실측 염분보다 과대추정 되는 것으로 나타났다. 위성 염분의 오차는 계절, 표층 수온, 풍속과 같은 다양한 해양 환경적 요인에 의존성을 보였다. 여름철 위성 염분과 실측 염분의 차이는 0.18 psu 이하로 저수온보다는 고수온에서 위성 염분의 정확도가 증가하였다. 이는 센서의 민감도에 따른 결과였다. 마찬가지로 5m s^-1 이상 풍속 조건에서 오차가 줄어들었다. 본 연구결과는 연안에서 위성 염분자료를 활용할 경우에는 특정한 연구 목적에 적합한지 확인하여 제한적으로 사용하여야 함을 제시한다.

In summer season of 1998, a huge flood occurred around the Yangtze River in the eastern China. The low salinity water less than 28 psu from the river was detected around the southeastern part of the Jeju Island which is located in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. We studied how to detect low salinity water from the Yangtze River, which gives terrible damages to the Korean fisheries. We got the relationships between low surface salinity, turbid water from the Yangtze River and digital ocean color using remote sensing of SeaWiFS satellite in the northern East China Sea in summer seanson of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The charts of salinity in the northern East China Sea were made by the regenerating of the satellite ocean color data with the formula from the relationships between low salinity, in situ turbid water (transparency) and satellite ocean color.

The monthly salinity maps from Aquarius satellite covering the entire East Sea were produced to analyze the low-salinity water appearing in fall every year. The low-salinity water in the northern East Sea began to appear in May-June, spreading southward along the coast and eastward north of the subpolar front. Low-salinity water from the East China Sea entered the East Sea through the Korea Strait from July to September and was mixed with low-salinity water from the northern East Sea in the Ulleung Basin. The strength of the low-salinity water from the East China Sea was dependent on the strength of the southerly wind of the East China Sea in July-August. The salinity reaches a minimum in September with a distribution parallel to the latitude of $37.5^{\circ}N$. In October, low salinity water is distributed along the mean current path and subpolar front and the entire East Sea is covered with the low salinity water in November. Water with salinity larger than 34 psu starts to flow into the East Sea through the Korea Strait in December and it expands gradually northward up to the subpolar front in January- February.

This study was aimed to classify soil desalination area for cultivation using NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index) of high-resolution satellite image because the soil salinity affects the change of plant community in reclaimed lands. We measured the soil salinity and NDVI at 28 sites in the Saemangeum reclaimed land in June 2013. In halophyte and non-vegetation sites, no relation was found between NDVI and soil salinity. In glycophyte sites, however, we found that the soil salinity was below 0.1% and NDVI ranged from 0.11 to 0.57 which was greater than the other sites. So, we could distinguish the glycophyte sites from the halophyte sites and non-vegetation, and classify the area that soil salinty was below 0.1%. This technique could save the time and labor to measure the soil salinity in large area for agricultural utilization.

Appearance and disappearance of the China Coastal Waters(CCW) in the neighbouring sea of Cheju Island was very different yearly but usually appeared strongly in summer. At this time, sea level and salinity were varied in this area by the influence of the CCW. Satellite data(T/P;Topex/Poseidon) and Salinity (NFRID;National Fisheries Research and Development Institute) were used from 1993 to 2001. We compared with TG data of NOR I and TIP data in the observed station(33 31'N, 12632'E). Coefficient of correlation was 0.6~0.8 with the exception of 1993 and 1995. And variations of salinity was higher than $32.00\%_{\circ}$ in the southwestern part of Cheju Island and the southern part of the South Sea of Korea during June-October and SLA(Sea level Anomaly) was 10-11cm. Salinity of the southeastern part was higher than those of the southwestern part and SLA was 12~13cm because of the influence of Tsushima Current.

홍수 혹은 융설로 인한 대량의 담수유입은 만에서의 염분농도를 급격히 저하시키며, 그러한 변화는 근해 생물들의 서식환경을 파괴하는 경우도 있다. 그러므로 자연환경의 적절한 활용 및 생물들의 보호를 위해 만에서의 염분분포를 정량적으로 파악하는 연구는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 1차적으로 위성영상과 탁도와의 상관성을 조사하고, 2차적으로는 탁도와 염분농도와의 상관성을 이용하여 만에서의 염분분포를 구하였다. 본 연구의 주요 성과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 위성영상의 RGB밴드와 탁수와의 변별력 평가를 위해 만을 4개 구역으로 분할하여 비교하였으며, Band2와 Band3의 조합이 탁수거동 재현에 가장 효과적임을 규명하였다. 둘째 관측소로부터 하구까지의 도달시간을 계산한 후 상류에서 관측된 탁도로부터 하구의 탁도를 추정하였다. 셋째 하구에서의 탁도와 심해의 염분농도와의 관계를 이용하여 위성영상을 염분분포로 변환하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 만에서의 염분분포 조사방법은 대상지역의 공간적 특성을 고려해 볼 때 비교적 신뢰할 만하다고 사료된다.

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) observations from the Aquarius satellite in the East Sea show large systematic biases mainly caused by the surrounding lands and Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI) along the descending orbits on which the satellite travels from the Asian continent to the East Sea. To develop a technique for correcting the systematic biases unique to the East Sea, the least square regression between in situ observations of salinity and the reanalyzed salinities by HYCOM is first performed. Then monthly mean reanalyzed salinities fitted to the in situ salinities are compared with monthly mean Aquarius salinities to calculate mean biases in $1^{\circ}{\times}1^{\circ}$ boxes. Mean biases in winter (December-March) are found to be considerably larger than those in other seasons possibly caused by the inadequate correction of surface roughness in the sea surrounded by the land, and thus the mean bias corrections are performed using two bias tables. Large negative biases are found in the area near the coast of Japan and in the areas with islands. In the northern East Sea, data sets using the ascending orbit only (SCIA) are chosen for correction because of large RFI errors on the descending orbit (SCID). Resulting mean biases between the reanalysis salinities fitted to in situ observations and the bias corrected Aquarius salinities are less than 0.2 psu in all areas. The corrected mean salinity distributions in March and September demonstrate marked improvements when compared with mean salinities from the World Ocean Atlas (WOA [2005-2012]). In September, salinity distributions based on the corrected Aquarius and on the WOA (2005-2012) show similar distributions of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) in the East Sea.

China Coastal Water (CCW) usually appears in the seas surrounding Jeju Island annually (June-October) and is very pronounced in August. The power spectrum density (PSD), sea level anomalies (SLAs), and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were found to peak annually and semiannually. The peaks at intervals of 80-, 60-, and 43-days are considered to be influenced by CCW and the Kuroshio Current. Generally, low-salinity water appears to the west of Jeju Island from June through October and gradually propagates to the east, where CCW meets the Tsushima Current. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of SLAs and SSTs indicated that the variance in SLAs and SSTs was 55.70 and 98.09% in the first mode, respectively. The PSD for the first mode of EOF analysis of SLAs was stronger in the western than in the eastern waters because of the influence of CCW. The PSD for the EOF analysis of SSTs was similar in all areas (the Yangtze Estuary and the waters to the west and east of Jeju Island), with a period of approximately 260 days.
