Abstract

The prevailing wind phenomenon around Pohang in winter was investigated by using surface and vertical observatory datas and a numerical simulation was carried out to analyse this phenomenon using RAMS. Direction of the prevailing wind was westerly at upper atmosphere. However, near the surface, southwestern wind prevailed in winter. Using the RAMS to simulate a winter wind system numerically, it was found out that this phenomenon was strongly affected by the geographical features such as directions of coastline and low level valley, and distributions of land and sea. To investigate the accuracy of the model results, wind speed, temperature and wind direction of typical continuous southwestern wind occurring days were compared with observation data. Analyzing the characteristics of local circulation system was very hard because of horizontally sparse observation data. But from the result above, a numerical simulation using the RAMS, which satisfies the spatial high resolution, will provide more accurate results.

지표 및 연직기상자료를 이용하여 포항지역 주변의 겨울철 탁월풍 현상을 살펴보고 이 현상을 분석하기 위해 RAMS를 이용한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 조사결과, 상층대기에서는 서풍을 보였으나 지표부근에서는 남서풍이 탁월하였다. RAMS를 이용하여 겨울철 풍계를 살펴본 결과, 이러한 겨울철 탁월풍 현상은 해안선의 형태와 낮은 구릉지, 그리고 바다와 육지의 분포 등의 지형적 특징에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 이상의 모형결과의 정확성을 살펴보기 위해 일 중 지속적인 남서풍이 관측되었던 날들의 풍속, 기온, 풍향을 대상으로 관측값과 모형결과값을 비교하였다. 일반적으로 기상관측망은 공간적으로 조밀하지 못하기 때문에 국지순환계의 특징을 자세히 살펴보기가 쉽지 않다. 하지만 이러한 공간적 고분해능을 만족하는 수치모형을 이용한다면 더욱 정확한 결과를 제공받을 수 있을 것이다.
