Abstract

The variation of acidity, conductivity, and ion components in precipitation depending on the dominant wind direction was investigated from January, 2009 to December 2009 in Busan, Korea. Both southwesterly and northeasterly winds were dominant in Busan area. The volume-weighted mean acidity showed pH 7, and the high conductivity indicated 200 ${\mu}scm^{-1}$ in westerly wind. The volume-weighted mean equivalent concentration showed higher value of $K^+$ and $Cl^-$ in all wind directions. The composition ratio of $NO{_3}^-/SO{_4}^{2-}$ showed over 3 in northerly wind. The neutralization factors have been found to have higher value for potassium ion in northeasterly, easterly, southwesterly, and westerly winds compared with different wind directions, which indicated significant neutralization of acidic components over the region by potassium. Also, the concentration of sea salt has been found over 800 ${\mu}sm^{-3}$ in northeasterly and southwesterly winds. Air masses passing through Manchuria, Inner Mongolia plateau, China, and Russia in spring, autumn, and winter covered Busan, Korea in northerly, westerly, and northwesterly winds. However, air masses passing through the ocean in summer covered Busan, Korea in easterly, northeasterly, and southwesterly winds. Therefore, the variation of acidity, conductivity, and ionic components contained in precipitation shows each seasonal characteristics with prevailing wind systems between the continental and coastal area in Busan, Korea.

주풍에 따른 강수의 산성도, 전기전도도, 이온 성분의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 2009년 부산지역 강수를 분석하였다. 부산지역에서는 남서풍과 북동풍이 우세하게 나타났다. 주풍이 서풍인 경우, 강수의 산성도는 약 pH 7로 중성으로 나타났으나 전기전도도는 약 200 ${\mu}scm^{-1}$로 다른 풍향에 비해 월등히 높게 나타나 강수에 이온성분이 많이 함유된 것을 알 수 있었다. 양이온 $K^+$와 음이온 $Cl^-$가 다른 이온에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 북풍과 남서풍이 불 때 다른 풍향에 비해 전체적으로 높은 농도로 나타났다. 산성비의 주 원인물질인 $NO{_3}^-/SO{_4}^{2-}$의 구성비는 북풍에서 3 이상으로 월등히 높은 값이 나타났다. 다른 풍향에 비해 북동풍, 동풍, 남서풍, 서풍에서의 $K^+$의 중화기여도는 전체적으로 1 이상으로 높은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 산성이온을 중화시키는데 있어서 알카리성 이온인 $K^+$의 중화기여도가 크게 작용하였음을 알 수 있다. 또한 해염입자는 북풍, 북동풍, 남서풍에서 800 ${\mu}sm^{-3}$ 이상으로 다른 풍향에 비해 상대적으로 많은 양을 나타내었다. 역궤적 분석 결과, 북풍, 서풍, 북서풍계열에서는 봄, 가을, 겨울철에 만주, 내몽골 고원, 중국, 러시아 지역으로부터 공기덩어리의 이동을 볼 수 있었다. 반면, 동풍, 북동풍, 남서풍계열에서는 여름철에 해양으로부터 공기덩어리의 이동을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 부산지역의 강수중 산성도, 전기전도도, 이온 성분 농도는 내륙과 연안해역의 특성을 가진 주풍에 의한 변동 특성을 잘 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
