DNN 회귀모형을 이용한 산악 지형 토양수분 산정

초록

In this study, we estimated soil moisture values using the Deep Neural Network(DNN) scheme at the mountainous regions. In order to test the sensitiveanalysis of DNN scheme, we collected the measured(at the soil depths of 10 cm and 30 cm) soil moisture and DNN input(weather and land surface)data at the Pyeongchang-gun(relatively flat) and Geochang-gun(steep slope) sites. Our findings indicated that the soil moisture estimates were sensitiveto the weather variables(5 days-averaged rainfall, 5 days precedent rainfall, accumlated rainfall) and DEM. These findings showed that the DEM andweather variables play the key role in the processes of soil water flow at the mountainous regions. We estimated the soil moisture values at the soildepths of 10 cm and 30 cm using DNN at two study sites under different climate-landsurface conditions. The estimated soil moisture(R: 0.890 andRMSE: 0.041) values at the soil depth of 10 cm were comparable with the measured data in Pyeongchang-gun site while the soil moisture estimates(R:0.843 and RMSE: 0.048) at the soil depth of 30 cm were relatively biased. The DNN-based soil moisture values(R: 0.997/0.995 and RMSE:0.014/0.006) at the soil depth of 10 cm/30 cm matched well with the measured data in Geochang-gun site. Although uncertainties exist in the results,our findings indicated that the DNN-based soil moisture estimation scheme demonstrated the good performance in estimating soil moisture values usingweather and land surface information at the monitoring sites. Our proposed scheme can be useful for efficient land surface management in various areassuch as agriculture, forest hydrology, etc.
