Seasonal threshold values for fog detection over the ten airport areas in the Korean Peninsula have been derived, using the satellite-observed data of polar-orbit (Aqua/Terra MODIS) and geostationary (GOES-9) during two years. The values are obtained from reflectance at $0.65{mu}m;(R_{0.65})$ and the difference in brightness temperature between $3.7{mu}m;and;11{mu}m;(T_{3.7-11})$. In order to examine the discrepancy between the threshold values of two kinds of satellites, the following parameters have been analyzed under the condition of daytime/nighttime and fog/clear-sky, utilizing their simultaneous observations over the Seoul Metropolitan Area. The parameters are the brightness temperature at $3.7{mu}m;(T_{3.7})$, the temperature at $11{mu}m;(T_{11}$, and $T_{3.7-11}$ for day and night. The $R_{0.65}$ data are additionally included in the daytime. The GOES-9 thresholds over the seven airport areas except the Cheongju airport have revealed the accuracy of 50% in the daytime and 70% in the nighttime, based on statistical verification for the independent samples as follows; FAR, POD and CSI. However, the accuracy decreases in the foggy cases with twilight, precipitation, short persistence, or the higher cloud above fog.
