Statistical trajectory analysis has been widely used to identify potential source regions for chemically and radiatively important chemical species in the atmosphere. The most widely used method is a statistical source-receptor model developed by Stohl (1996), of which the underlying principle is that elevated concentrations at an observation site are proportionally related to both the average concentrations on a specific grid cell where the observed air mass has been passing over and the residence time staying over that grid cell. Thus, the method can compute a residence-time-weighted mean concentration for each grid cell by superimposing the back trajectory domain on the grid matrix. The concentration on a grid cell could be used as a proxy for potential source strength of corresponding species. This technical note describes the statistical trajectory approach and introduces its application to estimate potential source regions of $CO_2$ enhancements observed at Korean Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory in Anmyeon-do. Back trajectories are calculated using HYSPLIT 4 model based on wind fields provided by NCEP GDAS. The identified $CO_2$ potential source regions responsible for the pollution events observed at Anmyeon-do in 2010 were mainly Beijing area and the Northern China where Haerbin, Shenyang and Changchun mega cities are located. This is consistent with bottom-up emission information. In spite of inherent uncertainties of this method in estimating sharp spatial gradients within the vicinity of the emission hot spots, this study suggests that the statistical trajectory analysis can be a useful tool for identifying anthropogenic potential source regions for major GHGs.

The Korean government decided to reduce 30% of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions BAU in 2020. Since many efforts to reduce emissions are urgently needed in Korea, the central administrative organization urges local governments to establish their own reduction schemes. Among many GHG emission categories, the emission from mobile source in Gyeonggi Province accounted for 25.3% of total emissions in 2007 and further the emission from road transport sector occupied the most dominant portion in this transportation category. The objective of this study was to compare 3 types of GHG emissions from road transport sector in 31 local cities/counties of Gyeonggi Province, which have been estimated by Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 methodologies. As results, the GHG emission rates by the Tier 1 and Tier 2 were $19,991kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$ and $18,511kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$, respectively. On the other hand, the emission rate by Tier 3 excluding a branch road emission portion was $18,051kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$. In addition, the total emission rate including all the main and branch road portions in Gyeonggi Province was $24,152kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$, which was estimated by a new Tier 3 methodology. Based on this study, we could conclude that Tier 3 is a reasonable methodology than Tier 1 or Tier 2. However, more accurate and less uncertain methodology must be developed by expanding traffic survey areas and adopting a suitable model for traffic volumes.

In order to accurately predict air pollution concentration according to reduction of air pollutant emission, a numerical model is needed. And the total emission amount of air pollutants should be estimated to explain the air pollution phenomena. The characteristics of the emission amount from area, line, and point sources in Pusan were studied by using emission data during one year (1992). The result showed that the annual total emission amount of pollutant is about 299,744 tons in Pusan. The emission consists of 31.8% of $SO_2$, 48.4% of CO, 4.6% of HC, 11.0% of NOx and 4.1% of TSP, as well as 52.1% of line, 24.1% of area and 23.7% of point sources. The result also showed that emission amount becomes larger in winter than that of the others.

The objective of this study was to analyze the factors affecting on fuel consumption of agricultural tractor. According to the statistical analysis, fuel consumption of agricultural tractor was considerably influenced by kind of operation, throttle engine speed and gear steps of tractor but much less by kind of soil. Specific fuel consumption of the tractor in plowing, dry paddy tilling, wet paddy tilling and wet paddy levelling was 0.33~0.36, 0.30~0.45, 0.19~0.34, 0.28~0.39 L/$kW{\cdot}h$, respectively, and $CO_2$ emission was 0.36~0.45, 0.35~0.58, 0.22~0.42, 0.24~0.37 kg/$kW{\cdot}h$, respectively. Specific fuel consumption and $CO_2$ emission increased as throttle engine speed increased but reversely proportional with gear step of tractor, by which one can reduce fuel consumption and $CO_2$ emission with practicing of "Gear up & Throttle Down" technique in paddy operations.

산림탄소순환마을 조성을 위한 가장 기본적인 사항은 온실가스 배출에 관한 통계인데 현재 시 도 단위의 온실가스 배출 통계는 존재하나 마을단위의 온실가스 배출에 관한 통계가 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서 마을단위의 온실가스 배출량에 대한 자료를 구축하여 탄소순환마을의 탄소수지에 관한 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구수행결과, 시범대상지인 경상북도 봉화군 춘양면 서벽리의 에너지사용에 따른 이산화탄소 배출량은 $1,755tCO_2$이며 그 중 난방 사용에 의한 배출량이 55%로 가장 많은 비중을 차지하며 전력 23%, 차량 22%의 순으로 나타났다. 벼농사와 가축 등 농업으로 인해 총 $572tCO_2$의 이산화탄소가 배출되었다. 이는 에너지 사용과 농업부문에서 발생하는 이산화탄소 총 배출량 $2,327tCO_2$의 약 24.5%를 차지했다. 또한, 모델지역에서 사용되는 난방에너지를 우드칩이나 펠릿 등 목재 바이오에너지로 대체할 경우 년간 약 1,580 ton의 목재가 소비될 것이며 난방에서 발생하는 이산화탄소배출량은 $964tCO_2$의 1/12인 $80tCO_2$로 $884tCO_2$ 만큼의 탄소가 저감 될 것으로 예상된다.

The surface $O_3,\;CO,\;NO_x,\;and\;SO_2$ were measured at Gosan in Jeju Island from May 2004 to April 2005. Over this period, the mean concentrations $({\pm}s.d.)$ of each gas was 40.06 $({\pm}16.01)$ ppbv for $O_3,\;264.92({\pm}115.73)ppbv\;for\;CO,\;1.98({\pm}2.73)ppbv\;for\;SO)_2,\;and\;4.64 ({\pm}3.24) ppbv\;for\;NO_x$. The monthly variations and the diurnal variations of these gases show that the Gosan site is situated in a relatively clean region. However, there were episodic simultaneous peaks in CO and $SO_2$, especially in winter and early spring. Using cluster analysis with air mass back- ward trajectory analysis, we suggest that these episodes are due to the influence of transportation of polluted air mass from polluted regions. In the cluster, which was under the dominant influence of clean maritime air mass, low levels of $O_3,\;CO,\;and\;SO_2$ were observed. The levels of these species were elevated in the other two clusters which had the air mass influenced by polluted continental regions. In addition, ratios of the chemical species such as $CO/NO_x,\;SO_2/NO_x,\;and\;CO/SO_2$ revealed the somewhat different characteristics of emission sources influencing each cluster. The differences in concentration of trace gases among clusters with different origin and transport pathways imply that Gosan is under the effect of pollution transported from other regions.

The recent environmental protection trend requires more strict energy saving, therefore every transportation system should reduce energy consumption to the minimum value. High-efficiency operation system, energy saving and $CO_2$ emissions shall be addressed as important issues in railway system. These issues are the most essential factors of railway, compared to major public transportation system. Recently, saving energy in the electric railway system has been studied. The efficient use of regenerated energy is considered to save energy. Namely, Using regenerative energy is that to store the energy generated during braking and discharge it again when a vehicle accelerates. Reusing energy stores and discharges energy, consequently enables a complete exchange of energy between vehicles, even if they are not braking and accelerating at precisely the same time, as is most frequently the case in everyday service. This paper analyzes effects of energy saving and $CO_2$-cut by using regenerative energy of electric vehicles.

Fossil fuel combustion during fishing activities is a major contributor to climate changes in the fishing industry. The Tier1 methodology calculation and on-site continuous measurements of the greenhouse gas were carried out through the use of fuel by the coastal and offshore gillnet (blue crabs and yellow croaker) and trap (small octopus and red snow crab) fishing boats in Korea. The emission comparison results showed that the field measurements are similar to or slightly higher than the Tier1 estimates for coastal gillnet and trap. In offshore gillnet and trap fisheries, Tier1 estimate of greenhouse gases was about $1,644-13,875kg\;CO_2/L$, which was more than the field measurement value. The $CO_2$ emissions factor based on the fuel usage was $2.49-3.2kg\;CO_2/L$ for coastal fisheries and $1.46-2.24kg\;CO_2/L$ for offshore fisheries. Furthermore, GHG emissions per unit catch and the ratio of field measurement and Tier1 emission estimate were investigated. Since the total catch of coastal fish was relatively small, the emission per unit catch in coastal fisheries was four to eight times larger. The results of this study could be used to determine the baseline data for responding to changes in fisheries environment and reducing greenhouse gas emission.

가축분뇨 유래 온실가스 배출량은 상당하며, 특히 저장 기간 중에 메탄을 포함한 상당량의 온실가스가 배출된다. 본 연구에서는 고형물 농도가 높은 우분의 저장 시 메탄 배출량 저감을 위해 낮은 온도 저장의 영향을 살펴보았다. 우분이 60일 저장되는 동안 배출된 최대 메탄의 양은 $35^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 $63.6{\pm}3.6kg\;CO_2\;eq./ton\;CM$으로 나타났으며 저장온도가 30, 25, 20, $15^{\circ}C$로 낮아질수록 각각 $51.6{\pm}1.8$, $24.1{\pm}4.4$, $14.9{\pm}0.5$, $3.7{\pm}0.1kg\;CO_2\;eq./ton\;CM$으로 감소하였다. 우분을 $35^{\circ}C$에서 저장하는 동안 30%의 COD가 감소하였지만 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 단 6%의 COD만이 감소되어 우분 내 유기물의 손실은 저장온도가 높을수록 증가하였다. 제거된 COD의 3~10%만이 메탄으로 전환이 되었으며 대부분은 호기 분해에 의해 진행된 것으로 사료된다. 우분의 주요 우점종으로는 Methanobrevibacter과 Methanolobus이 발견되었고 저장온도가 낮아질수록 저온 메탄생성균인 Methanolobus psychrophilus의 우점율(48%, $15^{\circ}C$)이 증가하였다. 수소를 이용한 SMA 실험 결과, 25, $15^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 메탄생성균의 지체기간은 10~11일, 최대 메탄생성속도는 22 mL/g VSS/d으로 $35^{\circ}C$에 저장한 경우(1일, 12~17 mL/g VSS/d)보다 지체기간은 증가하였지만 메탄생산속도는 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이런 결과로 미루어보아 저온저장은 메탄생성균에게 일시적인 저해는 줄 수 있지만, 적절한 조건이 주어지면 그 활성도는 다시 회복될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
