Abstract

Estimations of oil slick area after M/T Herbei Sprit accident in December 2007 were analyzed using ENVITSAT ASAR(Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) microwave and KOMPSAT-2 of high resolution data. Monthly end short-term variations of chlorophyll a concentration before end after M/T Herbei Sprit oil spill accident were also analyzed using SeaWiFS/MODIS ocean color data. The oil slick areas estimated by KOMPSAT-2 and ASAR satellites were 59,456 $m^2$ and 1,168 $km^2$, respectively. The winds before end after oil spill accident were prevailed the northerly and northwesterly winds, and the strength of wind in this accident was stronger than 10 m/sec. In Taean and Anmeon-do, monthly mean chlorophyll a concentrations(6.3 mg/$m^3$ and 3.7 mg/$m^3$) in January 2008 alter the oil spill were higher than those(2.9 mg/$m^3$ and 2.5 mg/$m^3$) in December 2007. Short-term variations of chlorophyll a in these areas were decreased alter one or two weeks of oil spill.

본 연구에서는 고해상도인 아리랑 2호(KOMPSAT-2)와 ENVISAT ASAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 마이크로웨이브 위성 영상을 이용한 유류 분포 면적 추정과 저해상도인 해색위성 자료를 이용하여 허베이스피리트호 유류오염 사고 발생 전후의 클로로필 a 농도를 분석하였다. KOMPSAT-2와 ASAR 위성에서 추정된 유출유 확산 분포 면적은 각각 59,456 $m^2$ 과 1,168 $km^2$로 추정되었다. QuickScat 위성관측 바람은 유류오염 사고 전후에 북풍과 북서풍이 우세하였고, 유류오염 사고 당시 바람은 10m/s 이상의 강한 북서풍이 탁월하였다. 태안과 안면도 연안해역의 클로로필 a의 월별 농도는 유류사고 당시인 2007년 12월에 각각 2.9 mg/$m^3$과 2.5 /$m^3$ 이었으나, 그 한 달 후인 2008년 1월에는 각각 6.3 mg/$m^3$과 3.7 mg/$m^3$로 클로로필 a 농도가 현저하게 증가하였다. 또한, 이들 지역에서 콜로로필 a 농도의 단기변화는 유류오염 사고 발생 1-2 주일 후에 그 농도가 감소한 것을 알았다.
