Abstract
This study aimed to improve the daytime fog detection algorithm GK2A_HR_FDA using the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) satellite by increasing the resolution (2 km to 500 m), improving predicted surface temperature by the numerical model, and optimizing some threshold values. GK2A_HR_FDA uses numerical model prediction temperature to distinguish between fog and low clouds and evaluates the fog detection level using ground observation visibility data. To correct the errors of the numerical model prediction temperature, a dynamic bias correction (DBC) technique was developed that reflects the geographic location, time, and altitude in real time. As the numerical model prediction temperature was significantly improved after DBC application, the fog detection level improved (FAR: −0.02–−0.06; bias: −0.07–−0.23) regardless of the training and validation cases and validation method. In most cases, the fog detection level was improved due to DBC and threshold adjustment. Still, the detection level was abnormally low in some cases due to background reflectance problems caused by cloud shadow effects and navigation errors. As a result of removing navigation errors and cloud shadow effects, the fog detection level was greatly improved. Therefore, it is necessary to improve navigation accuracy and develop removal techniques for cloud shadows to improve fog detection levels.
