We examined soil properties and provenance of loess-paleosol sequences at the Daebo Granite area of Buan, Jeonbuk Province, South Korea. The section consists of the surface layer, Layer 1(paleosol), Layer 2(loess), Layer 3(paleosol), Layer 4(loess), and Layer 5(paleosol), from top to bottom and thickness of the exposed section is approximately 280cm. The magnetic susceptibility values show the distinct variations between the loess- and the paleosol layer. Even though pH, ORP, water content, and soil hardness do not display the obvious differences in the section, the organic content indicates the variation similar to those of the magnetic susceptibility. In the respect of the soil colors measured under 3 conditions, although the variations of the wet soil color exceedingly reflect the difference of the layers, these variations are obscure in some points in the section due to the characteristics of the Munsell color system. Based on the geomorphological properties, sedimentary structure, the difference of the major element composition and the condrite-normalized rare earth element(REE) patterns showing the clear difference from the adjacent bedrocks and stream sediments and the similarity to those of the Chinese Loess Plateau, it is suggested that the section was formed by the material originated from the Chinese Loess Plateau and peripheral areas. However, because the material experienced the alteration after sedimentation under the environment of the sediment area, it has the properties different from the material in the provenance areas. This phenomenon may result in the climatic condition of Korea, especially in precipitation.

Spatial and time variation of the precipitation in Korea is high, therefore, more than 2/3 of the annual precipitation is concentrated during the rainy season. Climate change also causes the intensive rainfall in the area of dense population, thus the occurrence frequency of the heavy flood in the impervious area has been increased. Therefore, the structural food mitigation measures such as the construction of the higher design frequency stormwater pipes, pumping stations, and/or detention ponds. The flood bypass tunnel or retention storage is also one of the efficient structures to mitigate flood damage in the urban area. However, the economic feasibility has been controversial because the flood bypass tunnel might be used once or twice a year. To solve the problem, the multi-functional tunnel for the urban traffic and flooding bypass has been considered. In this study, the design criteria of the road and water tunnel has been analysed and the composite design criteria is proposed for the multi-functional tunnel which is expected to be constructed.

The distribution of water mass in Deukryang Bay was investigated using observational data obtained on July 12 (spring tide) and 19 (neap tide) in 1994. In characteristics of water mass at the bay the area is divided into three ones by a vertical attenuation coefficient k and a stratification parameter, log sub (10) (H/U super (3)), was H is depth, and U mean velocity in the bay. The contour of k=0.6 has a similar distribution to the isobath of 10m depth in spring tide, and of 5m depth in neap tide, respectively. This indicates that the water mass in the area between the isobath of 5m and 10m depth is changed by tidal periods. The stratification parameter corresponding to k=0.6 was 2.1~2.2. In the shallow water of 5m depth the characteristics of water mass was distributed in temperature of 25.5~31.$0^{\circ}C$ and salinity of 32.8~33.8PSU(Practical Salinity Unit), the temperature was high and the salinity distributed widely. In the deep water of 10m depth it was the temperature of 22.0~29.5$^{\circ}C$ and the salinity of 33.0~33.6PSU, the temperature was low and the salinity distributed narrowly. In the middle depth water of 5m to 10m depth, the temperature of 22.0~30.$0^{\circ}C$ and the salinity of 32.8~33.5PSU, its values showed the middle between the values of the deep area and the values of the shallow area.

유역에 내린 강우의 총량은 홍수나 갈수 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 점 강우량에 의해 측정된 강우량을 이용하여 유역 총강우량으로 환산하는 과정에 많은 오차가 포함되어 있다. 선행연구에 따르면, 우량계를 통한 강우관측에서 언더캐치(undercatch)에 의한 계통오차는 일반적으로 5~16%, 우연오차는 약 5%가 발생된다고 보고하였으며, 점 우량계 자료를 내삽하여 공간자료로 변환할 경우 0.1km 규모에서 표준오차가 4~14%, 1km 규모에서는 33~45%, 10km 규모에서는 약 65% 정도 발생된다고 한다. 이러한 우량계 관측오차 및 강우자료 처리과정에서 발생되는 오차는 유역의 유출량 계산에 영향을 주어 홍수예보 정확도를 크게 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 우리나라에서는 지금까지 유역 총강우량 산정 측면에서 지점강우량의 불확실성에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 주로 사용되고 있는 전도형 우량계를 이용하여 소규모 구역에서 관측되는 강우관측의 불확실성을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구에 사용된 우량계는 0.5mm 급 표준 전도형 우량계로 정밀도는 시간당 1~100mm 기준으로 ${\pm}1%$를 기록하여 기상검정규격인 ${\pm}3%$를 만족하고 있다. 이 우량계는 한국건설기술연구원 안동하천실험센터 내에 장애물이 없는 평지에 60m 간격으로 총 6대($2{\times}3$)를 설치하여 2014년 7월 11일부터 9월 2일까지 54일간 관측을 수행하였다. 관측기간 동안 2대의 우량계가 수일동안 강우가 기록되지 않아서 분석에서 제외하였다. 우량계 상호 간의 누적강우량(54일간)을 비교한 결과 2.5~25.5mm의 차이를 나타냈다. 강우강도별 강우량 합계를 비교한 결과 시간당 1mm 이상에서는 약 1%의 차이가 났으며, 시간당 15mm 이상에서는 7.4%의 차이를 나타내어 강도가 큰 강우사상에서 우량계 간의 관측오차가 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 우량계 상호 간의 상관계수를 분석한 결과, 우량계 간의 거리가 가까울수록 그리고 누적시간이 길수록 상관계수는 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 도출된 결과를 토대로 하면 앞서 언급한 바와 같이 점 우량계 자료를 내삽하거나 유역 또는 계산격자의 대푯값으로 사용하여 1시간 이하 단위로 유출모의를 할 경우 심각한 오차를 발생시킬 수 있음을 시사한다. 보다 신뢰성 있는 홍수예보와 효율적인 유역관리를 위해서는 점 중심의 강우 관측이 아닌 면적 우량에 대한 관측이 이루어져야 하며 이를 위한 기술의 개발이 필요하다.

Interrelationships between yields of Burley 21 variety and meteorological factors such as precipitation, duration of sunshine, and evaporation in Suweon, Chungju, Daegu, and Jeonju were investigated during the growing seasons from 1976 to 1985. Cultivation period from the 41st to the 60th day after transplanting which showed the highest transpiration by the tobacco plant was corresponding to relatively dry season in Korea from the middle of May to early of June. The meteorological factors during the middle stage of the tobacco growth, especially the 41st to the 80th day after transplanting, seemed to have higher correlation with tobacco yield, than any other periods. This result implied that the middle stage of the growth when tobacco plant consume more soil moisture by transpiration proved to be a important growth stage having a great influence upon tobacco productivity.

As the occurrences of flash floods have increased due to climate change, faster and more accurate precipitation observation using X-band radar has become important. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment installed two dual-pol X-band radars at Samcheok and Uljin. The radar data used in this study were obtained from two different elevation angles and composed to reduce the shielding effect. To obtain quantitative rainfall, quality control (QC), K_DP retrieval, and Hybrid Surface Rainfall (HSR) methods were sequentially applied. To improve the accuracy of the quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) of the X-band radar, we retrieved parameters for the relationship between rainfall rate and specific differential phase, which is commonly called the R-K_DP relationship; hence, an empirical approach was developed using multiple rain gauges for those two radars. The newly suggested relationship, R = 27.4K^0.81_DP, slightly increased the correlation coefficient by 1% more than the relationship suggested by the previous study. The root mean square error significantly decreased from 3.88 mm/hr to 3.68 mm/hr, and the bias of the estimated precipitation also decreased from -1.72 mm/hr to -0.92 mm/hr for overall cases, showing the improvement of the new method.

Mountain meteorology in South Korea that is covered mountains with complex terrain is important for understanding and managing the forest disaster and forest ecosystems. In particular, recent changes in dryness and/or rainfall intensity due to climate change may cause an increase in the possibility of forest disasters. Therefore, accurate monitoring of mountain meteorology is needed for efficient forest management. Korea Forest Service (KFS) is establishing the Automatic Mountain Meteorology Observation Stations (AMOS) in the mountain regions since 2012. 464 AMOSs are observing various meteorological variables such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, soil temperature, and air pressure for every minute, which is conducted the quality control (QC) to retain data reliability. QC process includes the physical limit test, step test, internal consistency test, persistence test, climate range test, and median filter test. All of AMOS observations are open to use, which can be found from the Korean Mountain Meteorology Information System (KoMIS, http://mtweather.nifos.go.kr/) of the National Institute of Forest Science and the Public Data Portal (https://public.go.kr/). AMOS observations with guaranteed quality can be used in various forest fields including the public safety, forest recreation, forest leisure activities, etc., and can contribute to the advancement of forest science and technology. In this paper, a series of processes are introduced to collect and use the AMOS dataset in the mountain region in South Korea.

The study was carried out in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do from March to December in 2019 to compare and analyze the water use strategies of two co-occurring tree species, Pinus densiflora and Quercus serrata, both native and dominant in Korea's forest ecosystems. Through seasonal changes, we measured environmental variables such as air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, net radiation, and soil water content. Sap flow densities of P. densiflora (n = 6) and Q. serrata (n = 3) were measured, along with environmental variables. The maximum sa pflow density for Q. serrata almost doubled that of P. densiflora during the growing season, while the maximum sap flow densities in both Q. serrata and P. densiflora peaked in September and August, respectively. Net radiation and vapor pressure deficit, but not air temperature, were the major environmental variables significantly affecting sap flow density. Analysis of hysteresis revealed that P. densiflora exhibited isohydric behavior, while Q. serrata showed anisohydric behavior. Analysis of crown conductance revealed similar trends as sap flow density, i.e., the crown conductance of Q. serrata was twice that of P. densiflora during the growing period. The study compared and analyzed the water use strategies between two co-occurring species. To better understand the underlying mechanisms of water use, more research on both physiological and morphological traits are needed.
