Abstract

Reliable information on the surface solar radiation is indispensable for rebuilding food production system in the famine plagued North Korea. However, transfer of the related modeling technology of South Korea is not possible simply because raw data such as solar radiation or sunshine duration are not available. The objective of this study is restoring solar radiation data at 27 synoptic stations in North Korea by using satellite remote sensing data. We derived relationships between MODIS radiation estimates and the observed solar radiation at 18 locations in South Korea. The relationships were used to adjust the MODIS based radiation data and to restore solar radiation data at those pixels corresponding to the 27 North Korean synoptic stations. Inverse distance weighted averaging of the restored solar radiation data resulted in gridded surfaces of monthly solar radiation for 4 decadal periods (1983-1990, 1991-2000 and 2001-2010), respectively. For a direct application of these products, we produced solar irradiance estimates for each sub-grid cell with a 30 m spacing based on a sun-slope geometry. These products are expected to assist planning of the North Korean agriculture and, if combined with the already prepared South Korean data, can be used for climate change impact assessment across the whole Peninsula.

기근과 산림황폐화를 겪고 있는 북한지역에 대해 농업기후 구분을 위해 일사자원의 분포현황을 파악하는 일이 매우 중요하지만 원자료의 획득이 어렵기 때문에 남한에서 사용중인 국지일사추정기술의 적용이 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 남한지역에서 위성영상을 기반으로 한 추정 일사자료와 관측소 실측 일사자료간의 선형 관계식을 작성하였다. 이 관계식을 북한 기상대 위치좌표에 해당하는 위성영상 기반 일사량 값의 보정에 사용함으로써 27개 기상대의 일사자료를 복원하였다. 복원된 27개 지점 일사자료를 기반으로 거리역산가중평균법에 의해 평년(1983-2000)과 10년 단위(1983-1990, 1991-2000, 2001-2010) 월별 수평면일사량 분포도를 제작하였다. 북한 DEM자료를 이용하여 885개 표준유역에 대해 지형인자를 산출한 다음 지형보정계수를 이용한 경사면 일사수광량을 30m 해상도의 격자형 수치자료로 제작하였다. 제작된 일사기후도는 북한의 농업발전계획은 물론 이미 제작완료된 남한일사기후도와 결합하여 한반도의 기후변화 영향 및 생태반응 평가 등에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
