Abstract

Based on the observation of the microwave radiometers at Cheongju, Hapcheon and Daegwallyeong in Korea, the precipitable water vapor and liquid water path have been analyzed for spatio-temporal characteristics. The observed datas have been validated by comparing precipitable water vapor between the microwave radiometer and the radiosonde near the sites. It resulted in the correlation coefficient of more than 0.8 in all three sites. For three regions, the precipitable water vapor shows similar seasonal variation and diurnal cycle, and that amount of precipitable water vapor increases from around 1000 LST and has a maximum value at 1900 LST. On the other hand, the liquid water path of microwave radiometer has regional differences for its seasonal variation, which seems to be caused by the geographical characteristics including the frequent fog and clouds in Daegwallyeong, a high mountain region (834 m from sea level), almost flat land in Chengju, and Sobaek Mountains in Hapcheon that blocks the westerly clouds.

가강수량과 구름물량의 시공간적 분포와 특성을 분석하기 위해 청주, 합천, 대관령에서 마이크로웨이브 라디오미터의 관측을 수행하였다. 각 지역에서 관측된 가강수량을 검증하기 위해 고층자료에서 산출된 가강수량과 비교하였으며 그 결과 상관계수가 0.8 이상으로 좋은 상관도를 보인다. 청주, 합천, 대관령 지역의 가강수량의 계절적인 변동과 일변화는 유사하게 나타났으며 일반적으로 1000 LST부터 증가하기 시작하여 1900 LST에 극대 값을 보인다. 반면에 구름물량은 지역적으로 계절적인 차이를 보인다. 이는 평지에 위치한 청주, 소백산맥으로 인한 편서풍 구름 차폐가 발생하기 쉬운 합천, 안개 및 구름이 잦은 대관령(834 m 해발고도) 등 각기 다른 지형 및 지리적 영향에 기인한 것으로 사료된다.
