Abstract

South Korea is quite vegetation rich country which has 63% forests and 16% cropland area. Massive NOx emissions from megacities, therefore, are easily combined with BVOCs emitted from the forest and cropland area, then produce high ozone concentration. BVOCs emissions have been estimated using well-known emission models, such as BEIS (Biogenic Emission Inventory System) or MEGAN (Model of Emission of Gases and Aerosol from Nature) which were developed using non-Korean emission factors. In this study, we ran MEGAN v2.1 model to estimate BVO Cs emissions in Korea. The MO DIS Land Cover and LAI (Leaf Area Index) products over Korea were used to run the MEGAN model for June 2012. Isoprene and Monoterpenes emissions from the model were inter-compared against the enclosure chamber measurements from Taehwa research forest in Korea, during June 11 and 12, 2012. For estimating emission from the enclosed chamber measurement data. The initial results show that isoprene emissions from the MEGAN model were up to 6.4 times higher than those from the enclosure chamber measurement. Monoterpenes from enclosure chamber measurement were up to 5.6 times higher than MEGAN emission. The differences between two datasets, however, were much smaller during the time of high emissions. More inter-comparison results and the possibilities of improving the MEGAN modeling performance using local measurement data over Korea will be presented and discussed.

한국은 국토의 약 63%가 산림으로 구성되어 있고, 16%가 농경지로 구성되어 있어 도심에서 발생하는 NOx가 산림지역과 농경지에서 발생하는 BVOCs와 결합하여 오존을 생성할 가능성이 높다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 한국의 자연 식생 BVOCs 배출을 추정하기 위해 MODIS의 토지피복 자료와 엽면적지수 자료를 이용하여 입력자료를 생성한 후 MEGAN 모델로 BVOCs의 주요 배출 물질인 이소프렌과 모노테르펜을 대상으로 2012년 6월 한 달 간 모델링을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 해당기간 동안 이소프렌은 10,495 ton, 모노테르펜은 2,709 ton이 배출되었다. 기존 국내에서 BEIS와 CORINAR를 이용하여 연구된 이소프렌의 배출량은 약 24,000 ton, 모노테르펜은 25,000 ton으로 나타났는데, 본 연구와 배출량 차이가 나타난 주된 이유는 모델 알고리즘 차이와 모델 구동 시점에서의 일사량과 기온 등 기상 조건의 차이에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 모델링 결과와 측정 값의 비교를 위하여, 6월 11일부터 12일까지 이틀 간에 걸쳐, 한국 태화산에서 활엽수의 이소프렌과 침엽수의 모노테르펜 챔버 측정 값을 항공라이다와 방형구 식생자료를 기반으로 산정된 엽생체량 값을 이용하여 산림 단위의 BVOCs 배출량으로 환산하였다. 태화산 지역에서의 MEGAN 모델과 측정 간 BVOCs 배출량을 비교한 결과, 시간적인 배출 경향은 유사했으나 이소프렌은 MEGAN 모델에서 최대 6.4배 정도 배출량이 높게 나타났고, 모노테르펜은 최대 5.6배 정도 배출량이 높게 나타났다. MODIS에서 제공되는 토지피복 자료가 한국의 토지피복 특성을 잘 반영하지 못함에도 불구하고 MEGAN 모델링 결과가 측정 값과 다른 모델에 비해 상대적으로 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 것은 MEGAN 내에 기온, 일사량 등에 의해 식생의 BVOCs 배출량을 변환시키는 파라미터들이 현실을 비교적 적절하게 반영하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 국내의 BVOCs 배출량을 MEGAN 모델을 활용하여 산정하였고, 산림지에서의 실측 자료와 비교를 통해 배출량을 평가하였다는데 의의가 있으며, 산림과 대기 간의 BVOCs 상호작용 연구에 작은 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 국내 BVOCs 배출량을 더 정확하게 추정하기 위해서는 지형과 식생의 특성을 더욱 최신으로 반영한 토지피복 및 엽면적지수 자료의 이용, 그리고 수목 및 농작물 등과 같이 개별 식생에 따른 배출계수 등의 대한 연구가 향후에 심도 있게 이루어져야 할 것이다.
