Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the meteorological elements, when large forest fires were occurred, The rate of precipitation was 13% of annual average precipitation. Especially, the stronger wind speed, lower humidity and rainfall than average annual record were the distinct feathers on the year when large forest fire occurred in east coast area in Kangwon region. The average, maximum and maximum instantaneous wind speed was 5.9 m/s, 11.3 m/s and 20.9 m/s when large forest fires occurred. The average, maximum and maximum instantaneous wind speed on large fire occurred were 1.8 m/s, 3.0 m/s and 6.9 m/s faster than and average wind speed when whole forest fires occurred. The results indicated that the large forest fire occurrence had a close correlation with meteorological elements.
봄철은 강수량이 연평균의 13% 정도로 적어 건조한 계절이며, 영동지역에 대형 산불이 많이 발생했던 해는 풍속은 강하고 공중습도가 봄철 평균보다도 낮고 강수량도 상대적으로 적어 더욱 건조했다. 대형산불이 발생했던 날은 평균풍속, 최대풍속, 최대순간풍속이 5.9 m/s, 11.3 m/s, 20.9 m/s로 산불 발생일의 평균값보다 1.8 m/s, 3.0 m/s, 6.9 m/s 크게 나타나, 산불의 대형화와 기상요소는 밀접한 관계를 나타냈다.
