Abstract

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager(: GOCI) detects the sea fog at a high horizontal resolution of $500m{\times}500m$ using the Rayleigh corrected reflectance of 8 bands. The visible and the near infrared waves strongly reflect the characteristics of the earth surface, causing errors in cloud and fog detection. A threshold of the Band7 reflectance was set to detect the sea fog entering the land. When the region on which Band4 reflectance is larger than Band8 is determinated as cloud, the error over-estimated as sea fog is corrected by comparing the average reflectance with the surrounding region. The improved algorithm has been verified by comparing the fog images of the Cheollian satellite (COMS: Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) as well as the visibility data from the Korea Meteorological Administration.

GOCI(: Geostationary Ocean Color Imager)는 8개 밴드의 레일리 보정 반사도를 이용하여 수평 $500m{\times}500m$의 높은 공간 해상도로 해무를 탐지한다. 가시광선과 근적외선은 지표면의 특성을 강하게 반영하여 구름과 안개 판별에 오차를 유발한다. Band7 반사도의 임계값을 설정하여 육지로 유입되는 해무를 탐지할 수 있었다. Band4 반사도가 Band8보다 크게 나타나는 영역이 구름으로 판별되는 경우는 주변 영역과 평균 반사도의 비교를 통해 해무로 탐지되는 오류를 보정하였다. 개선된 알고리즘은 천리안위성(COMS: Communication, Ocean, Meteorological Satellite)의 안개 영상 및 기상청 시정계 자료와 비교하여 검증되었다.
