The automatic algorithm optimized for the Korean Peninsula was developed to detect and track the center of typhoon based on a geometrical method using high-resolution retrieved WISSDOM (WInd Syntheses System using DOppler Measurements) wind and reflectivity data. This algorithm analyzes the center of typhoon by detecting the geometric circular structure of the typhoon's eye in radar reflectivity and vorticity 2D field data. For optimizing the algorithm, the main factors of the algorithm were selected and the optimal thresholds were determined through sensitivity experiments for each factor. The center of typhoon was detected for 5 typhoon cases that approached or landed on Korean Peninsula. The performance was verified by comparing and analyzing from the best track of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). The detection rate for vorticity use was 15% higher on average than that for reflectivity use. The detection rate for vorticity use was up to 90% for DIANMU case in 2010. The difference between the detected locations and best tracks of KMA was 0.2° on average when using reflectivity and vorticity. After the optimization, the detection rate was improved overall, especially the detection rate more increased when using reflectivity than using vorticity. And the difference of location was reduced to 0.18° on average, increasing the accuracy.

This study intend to induce citizen's voluntary preliminary disaster prevention activity to reduce damage of typhoon that occurs every year. For this purpose, a survey was conducted to develop Typhoon information contents. The number of samples used in the survey was set to 500 people, and citizens living in Jeju, Busan, and Jeonlanam-do were surveyed for areas with high typhoon disasters in order to develop practical and efficient information. The survey consisted of perception about natural disaster, how to get and use weather information, satisfaction with typhoon information and requirements. The general public perceived the typhoon as the first natural disaster. As a result of responding to the method of obtaining and utilizing weather information, the frequency of collecting weather information at the time of issuance of typhoon special report is higher than usual. The purpose of using weather information is clear and the response rate is high for the purpose of disaster prevention. The medium mainly collecting weather information is Internet portal site and mobile phone besides television. The current satisfaction with typhoon weather information is 34.8%, in addition to the accuracy of prediction, it is necessary to improve the information (that is content) provided. Specific responses to the content were investigated not only for single meteorological factors, but also for possible damage and potential countermeasures in the event of a disaster such as a typhoon. As can be seen from the above results, people are requested to provide information that can be used to detect and cope with disasters. The development of new content using easy accessible media will contribute to the reduction of damages caused by the typhoon that will occur in the future, and also to the disaster prevention activity.

Conceptual models to analyze both typhoon and Changma using products extracted by the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A) are suggested in this study. The GK-2A which is scheduled to be launched in 2018 has a high resolution, 16 channels, and 52 products. This means GK-2A is expected to obtain high quality images and products, which can detect severe weather earlier than the Communications, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS). Since there are not enough conceptual models for typhoon and Changma using satellite images and products, our conceptual model can increase both the applicability of satellite data and the accuracy of analysis. In the conceptual model, typhoons are classified as three types by prevailing factors; 1) heavy-rainfall type, 2) wind type, and 3) complex type. For Changma, two types are divided by the characteristics; band type and heavy-rainfall type. Among the high resolution 52 products, each type of typhoon and Changma are selected. In addition, the numerical products and dynamic factors are considered in order to improve conceptual models.

This study establishes a conceptual model to analyze heavy rainfall events in Korea using multi-functional transport satellite-1R satellite images. Three heavy rainfall episodes in two major synoptic types, such as synoptic low (SL) type and synoptic flow convergence (SC) type, are analyzed through a conceptual model procedure which proceeds on two steps: 1) conveyer belt model analysis to detect convective area, and 2) cloud top temperature analysis from black body temperature (TBB) data to distinguish convective cloud from stratiform cloud, and eventually estimate heavy rainfall area and intensity. Major synoptic patterns causing heavy rainfall are Changma, synoptic low approach, upper level low in the SL type, and upper level low, indirect effect of typhoon, convergence of tropical air in the SC type. The relationship between rainfall and TBBs in overall well resolved areas of heavy rainfall. The SC type tended to underestimate the intensity of heavy rainfall, but the analysis with the use of water vapor channel has improved the performance. The conceptual model improved a concrete utilization of images and data of satellite, as summarizing characteristics of major synoptic type causing heavy rainfall and composing an algorism to assess the area and intensity of heavy rainfall. The further assessment with various cases is required for the operational use.

인간의 가청주파수 보다 낮은 저주파수대역의 음파로 정의되는 인프라사운드는 대기압력 변화를 수반하는 다양한 자연현상이나 인간 활동에 의해 지속적으로 발생하여 대기 중으로 전파하고 있다. 인프라사운드의 장거리 전파특성은 음원에 대한 원거리 관측과 분석을 가능하게 하여 자연현상에 대한 지구물리학적인 이해와 대규모 인위적 음원에 대한 탐지기술로 응용되고 있다. 이에 최근 비밀 핵실험 감시와 순수한 지구물리학적 연구를 목적으로 진보된 관측망이 전 세계적으로 구축되는 등 인프라사운드에 대한 관심과 연구가 증가하고 있다. 국내에는 지진파와 인프라사운드를 동시에 관측할 수 있는 지진-음파 관측망이 운영되고 있으며, 이들 자료의 실시간 관측과 분석으로 한반도 및 주변지역에서 발생하는 지진 중 상당수의 인공지진을 명확히 식별하고 있다. 또한 인공지진탐지 이외에도 대규모 자연지진, 운석폭발, 화산폭발, 태풍 등의 자연현상에서 발생한 인프라사운드를 국내 관측망에서 관측하여 분석하고 있다. 지구 물리학적 관점에서 인프라사운드 관측은 상부지각과 대기권 등 지구표면에서 일어나고 있는 대규모 자연 혹은 인위적 현상을 관측할 수 있는 새로운 지구관측기술의 하나로 이용되고 있다.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 원격탐사 관측 자료는 폭우나 태풍으로 인해 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 발생할 수 있는 산사태 피해 지역을 신속하게 탐지하는데 매우 유용한 도구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 산사태 발생 이후에 관측이 수행된 다중 편광 SAR 자료를 이용하여 산사태 지역을 자동으로 분류하는 효과적인 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 실험적인 분석을 바탕으로 SAR 관측 자료로부터 산사태를 탐지하기 위해서는 SAR 영상의 스펙클 현상을 줄여주는 스펙클 필터와 경사진 지형에서의 기하왜곡을 보정하는 정사보정이 필수적임을 확인하였고, IDAN 필터를 적용하여 스펙클을 줄이고 다중 편광 파라미터를 추정한 후에 정사보정을 수행하는 것이 산사태 탐지를 위해 적합한 처리 과정임을 제시하였다. 또한 다양한 다중 편광 파라미터에 대한 탐지 성능 분석을 통해 entropy 파라미터가 산사태 탐지에 좋은 성능을 보임을 파악하였다. 이러한 분석을 토대로 다중 편광 파라미터에 대한 자동적인 문턱값 설정과 DEM을 보조적으로 사용하는 산사태 탐지 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 탐지 알고리즘은 2011년 9월 태풍 탈라스에 의해 발생한 산사태에 대해 관측을 수행한 ALOS-2위성의 PALSAR-2 자료를 이용하여 실험적인 평가를 수행하였고, 약 82%의 탐지율과 3%의 오경보율로 산사태를 탐지 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
