Purpose: The objective of this research is to classify snowfall area types with consideration of past regional snowfall characteristics and times for the effective local snow removal response systems of 229 local government districts. Method: This research first collected snowfall data of South Korea meteorological stations, and classified regional types using successive snowfall time. This research finally produced GIS maps using regional type information of snowfalls by applying GIS analysis methods. Result: This research provides five types of snowfall regions including 'frequent heavy snowfall regions', 'frequent light snowfall regions', 'rare heavy snowfall regions', 'average snowfall regions', and 'rare light snowfall regions' based on analysis results. Conclusion: Results of this research can be used as basic information for regional demand estimations of snow removal equipments, materials, vehicles, and personnel for the efficient snow removal response systems.

겨울철 대설 현상에 따른 도로 결빙과 항공기 운항 지연, 비닐하우스 및 가건물 붕괴와 같은 피해가 증가함에 따라 대처방안을 마련하는 일이 중요시 되고 있다. 이를 위해 정확한 적설 정보가 근본적으로 필요하지만, 문제는 적설량을 정량적으로 관측하는 일이 간단하지 않다는 점이다. 최근에는 무게식 우량계를 이용한 적설 관측이 수행되고 있지만, 강설량이 많을 경우 우량계가 눈에 덮이는 캐핑(capping) 현상으로 인해 제대로 관측하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 무게식 우량계의 이러한 한계를 보완하고 자료의 활용성을 높이기 위해 광학우적계(Parsivel)로 관측된 강설입자정보를 이용하여 적설량을 보정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 무게식 우량계 자료는 대관령 구름물리선도센터에 설치되어 있는 플루비오(Pluvio)의 적설 관측 자료를 이용하였다. 먼저, 관측된 플루비오 자료에서 단위 시간동안의 신적설을 산정한 후 과도한 관측값과 같은 노이즈를 제거하였다. 또한 플루비오와 동일 기간에 관측된 광학우적계 자료에 대해 강설 입자가 $10/m^3$ 초과로 나타나는 사상을 강수 기간으로 결정하고 두 자료가 모두 '0'인 경우 무강수로 나타냈다. 그 결과 강수 입자가 관측된 적설 기간에 플루비오가 우수하게 강설 사상을 관측하고 있음을 확인하였고, 부적합한 자료를 보정할 수 있었다. 이러한 방법으로 적설 자료를 개선할 경우 향후 레이더를 이용한 공간적 강설 추정의 정확도를 크게 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Rapid roadway snow removal is significantly important due to difficult occurrence estimation of heavy snowfall disasters by global warming and climate change. Local governments of S. Korea have snow removal equipments and vehicles based on past experiences without considering snowfall and roadway characteristics. The objective of this research is to develop the demand estimation procedure for snow removal equipments and vehicles based on regional snowfall and roadway characteristics. This research first classifies regional snowfall characteristics using KMO's ten-year snowfall data. Second, roadway snow removal length is computed for local governments. Real possession data is compared with demand estimation of snow removal equipments & vehicles for each local government with roadway snow removal scenarios. Finally, required demands of snow removal equipments & vehicles are predicted by concerning regional snowfall amount and required snow removal hours. Results from this research are used for developing heavy snowfall disaster management policies for optimal demands and snow removal routes of 229 local governments.

This paper summarized the research papers on weather extremes that occurred in the Republic of Korea, which were published in the domestic and foreign journals during 1963~2022. Weather extreme is defined as a weather phenomenon that causes serious casualty and property loss; here, it includes typhoon, heavy rain, drought, heat wave, cold surge, heavy snow, and strong gust. Based on the 2011~2020 statistics in Korea, above 80% of property loss due to all natural disasters were caused by typhoons and heavy rainfalls. However, the impact of the other weather extremes can be underestimated rather than we have actually experienced; the property loss caused by the other extremes is hard to be quantitatively counted. Particularly, as global warming becomes serious, the influence of drought and heat wave has been increasing. The damages caused by cold surges, heavy snow, and strong gust occurred over relatively local areas on short-term time scales compared to other weather hazards. In particularly, strong gust accompanied with drought may result in severe forest fires over mountainous regions. We hope that the present review paper may remind us of the importance of weather extremes that directly affect our lives.

In general, attenuation at frequencies over 20GHz is mainly due to absorption by satmospheric gases, rain, and snow. Among this factors rain become an important limiting factor. Rain attenuation is highly influenced by rainfall-intensity and it varies over time and space. Thus it is requeired to obtain spatial and temporal data of rainfall-intensity for precise prediction of rainfall attenuation. In this paper, rainfall intensity of thiry-two measurement sites in South Korea excluding JeiJdo Islands over recent ten years is obtained and the regional relation between rainfall-intensity and percent of time is analyzed. Also we present the new method about rainfall-intensity cumulative distribution.

경상북도 고령군 다산면, 천안시 풍세면 삼태리 및 부여 정동ㆍ자왕 지역의 장기수위관측 데이터 및 강수, 대기압 자료의 시계열 분석을 통하여 대수층의 함양특성 및 특히, 대기압에 대한 지하수위 변화 특성을 통한 대수층의 특성(properties) 유추 가능 여부를 보고자 하였다. 하천에 인접한 자왕지구의 경우 자기상관분석에 의하면 다른 세 지역에 비해 데이터 값이 안정적이지 못하며, 대기압 변화에 대한 상관분석에서도 낮은 상관성을 나타낸다. 강수에 대한 함양 특성을 상호상관분석을 통해 해 보았으나, 강설에 의한 영향인지 대체적인 지연시간이 길게 나타났다. 차후 장기적인 데이터 수집 및 분석을 통해 좀 더 정확한 대수층 특성을 밝히고자 한다.

본 논문은 건설구조물 안전의 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나인 콘크리트 압축강도 안정성을 확보하기 위한 시스템으로, 콘크리트 구조물을 만들 재료인 레미콘의 수분 감소율에 따른 압축강도 감소 리스크를 관리할 수 있는 모델을 제시하였다. 동일한 물,시멘트비(W/C)로 생산된 레미콘은 현장타설시까지 교통환경으로 인한 도착시간 지연 및 강우, 강설 등 외부적인 요건으로 감수율이 발생하는 리스크가 발생한다. 이로 인해 콘크리트의 압축강도가 저감하는 중대한 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서 제시한 알고리즘을 이용하여 현장 타설전 콘크리트 시료의 함수율을 측정하여 감수율이 발생한 제품 발견시, 실시간으로 Operator로 GCM 기반의 Push Alarm을 전송하여 감수율이 반영된 제품을 제공함으로써 구조물의 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 시스템을 모델링하였다. 본 연구는 기존시스템의 문제점을 실시간으로 개선할 수 있는 것으로 건설현장의 구조물 안정성 확보에 효과가 클 것으로 기대된다.

Due to the rapid economic development, traffic congestion has become a dire concern in Beijing, China. Levying a congestion toll is seen as the most effective solution to the problem. Building a congestion pricing model is a crucial step in implementing a workable toll scheme. Unlike previous attempts, this study not only covers the theoretical discussion but also considers three practical issues: the speed-density relationship, the value of travel time savings, and the determination of optimal traffic volume. We estimate the speed-density relationship by regression models and the value of travel time saved through survey results. We further suggest a way through which the government could identify the optimal traffic flow by a series of trial-and-errors, without the knowledge of exact road demand structure. Finally, a practical tolling scheme is proposed for Beijing's second ring road along with some policy recommendations.

The objectives of this study are to adopt a snowmelt model for coupling a rainfall-runoff model and to study snowmelt effects for long-term runoff analysis on the northeast mountaneous area in Korea. The NWS temperature-index snowmelt model was selected and tested on the 1,059+,6 km$^2$ Naerinchen basin. It can be observed that the time variations of the computed areal extents of snow cover from the model are well agreement with those of the observe station snowfall records on the Inje meteorological station. It is also evident that the computed soil water contents and river flows indicate quite different behaviors with or without snowmelt model. It is concluded that the snowmelt model works well and the snowmelt effects for multi-decadal river flow computations are important on the study area.

The purpose of this study is to investigate diurnal variations of snowstorm occurred along the East Coast of the Korean Peninsula. The snowstorm which occurred on 5${\sim}$7 January 1997 have been analyzed. The pressure patterns were analyzed through surface and upper-air chart(850hPa). Diurnal variations of four areas, i. e. Youngdong, Mt. Taebaek, Youngseo and Kyungbuk regions were analyzed through wind direction and speed, cloud amounts, surface temperature, dewpoint temperature, relative humidity and sea level pressure. And snowfall amounts over four areas were analyzed through regional distribution, daily and temporal variations. The snowfall which occurred on January 5 was caused by the weak low pressure which is located in Kyusu region of Japan. The snowfall of January 6 occurred due to the Siberian high's expansion and instability. And northeasterly wind is one factor of the snowstorm which occurred in Mt. Taebaek region on 7 January. Heavy snowfall was caused by westerly wind but easterly wind occurred weak snowfall in Youngdong area. The precipitation of Kyungbuk region(eapecially, Pohang) was less than that of Youngdong region because the air mass which was not modified had influence on Kyungbuk region on 6${\sim}$7 January, 1997.
