Abstract
Rock-surface temperatures were observed at a trachytic lava dome, called as Baeknokdam Northwest Face, in the summit area of Mt. Halla, Jeju Island, to examine the frequency and occurrence season of freeze-thaw cycles and the rate of temperature changes during a freezing period. Long-term measurements were recorded over 18 months from November 2006 to April 2008, at a 1-hour logging interval and rock depth of 1.5 cm. Both diurnal freeze-thaw cycles and effective freeze-thaw cycles appear in larger numbers on a south-facing rock face than a north-facing rock face. The diurnal cycles were dominantly observed on February and March for the south face and on November and April for the north face, respectively. The annual freeze-thaw cycles were confirmed in terms of the presence of seasonal freezing periods lasting from mid-November to mid-April for the south face and from early-November to late-April for the north face, respectively. The rate of decreasing temperatures during the seasonal freezing periods is larger on the north face than the south face. Notwithstanding the lower numbers of freeze-thaw events, the north face experiences a higher frost intensity since the number of hours below
한라산 정상의 백록담 서북벽 표고 1,860m 지점에서 18개월간 용암돔 암벽의 표면 온도를 향별로 관측하여 동결융해 사이클의 빈도와 출현 시기, 동결기의 암온 저하량을 밝혔다. 관측 지점에는 일주기와 연주기의 동결융해 사이클이 나타난다. 유효동결융해 사이클을 포함하여 일주기성 동결융해 사이클은 북동향 암벽보다 남서향 암벽에서 더 많이 발생한다. 일주기성 동결융해 사이클은 남서향 암벽에서는 2월과 3월에, 북동향 암벽에서는 11월과 4월에 집중적으로 출현한다. 또한 남서향 암벽에서는 11월 중순~4월 중순, 북동향 암벽에서는 11월 초순~4월 하순에 걸쳐
