Infrared channels of newly launched Japanese geostationary satellite, MTSAT-1R are compared with well calibrated MODIS/Terra infrared measurements at 3.7, 6.7, 11, 12 ${\mu}m$ bands. There are four steps in this intercalibration method: 1) data collection, 2) spectral response function correction, 3) data collocation, and 4) calculation of mean bias and conversion coefficients. In order to minimize the navigation error of MTSAT-1R, comparisons are made over the area in which the viewing angle of MTSAT-1R is less than 50$^{\circ}$. The calibration method was tested for August 2005 and within the 40$^{\circ}N$-40$^{\circ}S$, 100$^{\circ}$E-180$^{\circ}$E domain. The differences of spectral response functions were corrected through radiative transfer model simulation. Constructing collocated data differences in viewing geometry, observation time and space were taken into account. In order to avoid the radiance variation induced by cloud presence, clear-sky targets are selected as intercalibration target. The mean biases of 11, 12, 6.7, and 3.7 ${\mu}m$ bands are about -0.16, 0.36, 1.31, and -6.69 K, suggesting that accuracies of 3.7 ${\mu}m$ is questionable while other channels are comparable to MODIS

This paper analyzed the JPEG compression performance of MTSAT-1R(Multi-functional Transport Satellite - 1 Replacement), which is offering the LRIT/HRIT(Low Rate Information Transmissio / High Rate Information Transmission) service now, in order to design the system regarding LRIT/HRIT of COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite). To do so, we analysed Lossy and Lossless JPEG compression performance regarding the MTSAT-1R LRIT/HRIT data for 10 days, and made comparison to the image characteristics, and understood the JPEG compression characteristics regarding JPEG compression of geostationary meteorological satellite. This result of compression performance analysis is expected to be a reference not only to the system design and realization of COMS LRIT/HRIT but also to those who develop other meteorological satellite receiving systems.

본 논문에서는 일본의 정지궤도 위성인 MTSAT(Multi-functional Transport Satellite)-1R의 HRIT/LRIT(High Rate Information Transmission/Low Rate Information Transmission) 데이터의 특성 및 오차를 분석하였다. HRIT/LRIT 데이터를 수신하여 영상을 추출하고, 추출한 영상에 ITU(International Telecommunication Union)의 Space Radiocommunications Stations(이하 SDS) CD에 있는 Map 데이터를 겹쳐서 실제 해안선과의 차이를 계산하였다. 분석을 위하여 10일간의 HRIT/LRIT 수신 데이터를 사용하였고 분석한 결과 MTSAT-1R 위성의 HRIT VIS 영상의 평균오차는 Line 4.42 Pixel, Column 0.66 Pixel, LRIT IR1 영상의 평균오차는 Line 1.05 Pixel, Column 0.19 Pixel인 것을 알 수 있었다.

The test is performed to measure the accuracy of landmark matching process considering cloud detection performance and to analyze the evolution of this accuracy with respect to the cloud detection processing parameters. For the purpose, MTSAT-1R HiRiD data were used to induce final results. The test result shows that landmarks matching performance estimation on MTSAT-1R HiRiD data is considered as being between 0.06 and 0.09 IR pixel, corresponding to $7{\mu}rad$ and $10{\mu}rad$.

지표면의 파장별 방출율을 알고 있다는 가정하에 대기의 흡수효과가 상이한 두 파장역을 이용하여 대기효과를 보정해주는 일반적인 분리대기창(Generalized Split-Window) 방법으로 MTSAT-1R 자료로부터 지표면 온도(LST) 산출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 지표면온도 산출 회귀식은 대기복사전달모델 MODTRAN4.0으로 위성으로부터 LST를 산출하는데 영향을 주는 여러 가지 요소(주/야간，수증기, 방출율，위성관측각 등)들을 고려하여 모의된 자료로부터 도출하였다. 개발한 LST 산출알고리즘의 수준을 분석하기 위해 MSGl SEVIRI 센서에 적합하도록 개 발된 Sobrino and Romaguera(2004)의 알고리즘과 GMS-5 VISSR 센서에 적합하도록 개발된 Prata and Cechet(1999)의 알고리즘과 비교하였다. 3 알고리즘을 MTSAT-1R 자료에 적용하여 LST를 산출한 결과 LST의 공간분포는 정성적으로 서로 유사하게 나타났으나，정량적으로는 지리적 위치，계절 및 주간/야간에 따라서 LST가 다르게 나타났다.

In this study, we propose the calibration algorithm for the solar channel (550 ${\sim}$ 900 nm) of MTSAT 1R which is the Japanese geostationary satellite launched on 26 Feb. 2005 and located at $140^{\circ}E$. We developed a method utilizing MODIS-derived BRDFs for the solar channel calibration over the bright desert area. Targets are selected based on the desert's brightness, spatial uniformity, temporal stability and spectral stability. The 6S model has been incorporated to account for directional effects of the surface using MODIS-derived BRDF parameters within the spectral interval in interest. Results based on the analysis for the period from November 2007 to June 2008 suggest that MTSAT-1R solar channel measurements have a low bias within 5%.

Multi-functional Transport Satellite lR(MTSAT-lR)과 같은 정지궤도 기상위성의 지상 전처리 과정에는 영상위치보정(Image navigation and registration)이 포함된다. 영상위치보정은 위성 영상의 기하학적인 왜곡을 보정하는 과정이다. 랜드마크를 이용하는 영상위치보정 과정은 랜드마크 결정과 센서 모델 추정， 리샘플링(Resampling)의 세 가지 단계로 나눌 수 있다. MTSAT-1R의 High Resolution Image Data(HiRID)는 이미 영상위치보정이 수행되었지만, 기하학적인 오차가 남아있는 영상을 포함하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 기하학적인 오차를 제거하기 위해서 강인추정 기법에 기반한 기하보정을 수행하였다. 이태윤 등 (2005)은 강인추정 기법과 Direct Linear Transformation (DLT)에 기반한 오정합 판별 방법을 제안하였다. 이 판별 방법을 적용하여 추정된 DLT로 MTSAT-1R 영상의 기하보정을 수행한 결과에는 향상된 정확도로 기하보정 된 영상 뿐만 아니라 비교적 큰 오차를 포함하는 영상도 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 강인추정 기법과 Affine 변환을 이용한 방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 기준 해안선에서 추출한 1,407개의 랜드마크와 8개의 MTSAT-1R 영상을 이용하였으며，강인추정 기법에 DLT를 적용한 방법과 Affine 변환을 적용한 방법으로 자동 기하보정을 수행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 강인추정 기볍 중 RANSAC과 MSAC의 적용 결과를 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과，DLT로 기하보정 시，본 논문에서 제안된 방법이 강인추정 기법에 DLT를 적용한 방법 보다 더 좋은 성능을 보여주었다.

Rainfall intensity was estimated using the MTSAT-1R infrared channels and the microwave satellite precipitation data. Brightness temperature of geostationary satellite is matched temporal and spatial to a variety of microwave satellite(SSM/I, SSMIS, AMSU-B, AMSRE, TRMM) precipitation data. Rainfall intensity was calculated by the look -up table using relationships of MTSAT-1R brightness temperature and microwave precipitation. Estimated rainfall is verified using by precipitation of TRMM satellite(TRMM3B42) and ground rainfall as AWS from Jul. 21 2008 to Jul. 25 2008. The results of rainfall estimated TRMM 2A12(TMI) that validated by AWS and TRMM3B42 precipitation are represented highly 0.38 and 0.61 by correlation coefficient, 5.81 mm/hr and 2.44 mm/hr by RMSE, 0.79 and 0.84 by POD and 0.65 and 0.87 by PC, respectively. Overall, estimated rainfall using by microwave satellite calculated 5 mm/hr or more comparing by AWS and 5 mm/hr or more comparing by TRMM3B42 precipitation, respectively. Validation results of correlation coefficient are shown series of TRMM 2A12, AMSRE, SSM/I, AMSU-B and SSMIS.

The land surface temperature (LST) derived from the meteorological satellite can be used to investigate the urban heat island (UHI) and its temporal variations. In this study, we developed LST retrieval algorithm from MTSAT-1R by means of a statistical regression analysis from radiative transfer simulations using MODTRAN 4 for a wide range of atmospheric, satellite viewing angle (SVA) and lapse rate conditions. 535 sets of thermodynamic initial guess retrieval (TIGR) were used for the radiative transfer simulations. Sensitivity and intercomparison results showed that the algorithm, developed in this study, estimated the LST with a similar bias and root mean square errors to that of other algorithms. The magnitude, spatial extent, and seasonal and diurnal variations of the UBI of Korean peninsula were well demonstrated by the LST derived from MTSAT-1R data. In general, the temporal variations of UHI clearly depend on the weather conditions and geographic environment of urban.
