Early critical seeding date based on the appearance characteristic analysis was examined to obtain the fundamental data for the safty of dry-seeded rice under the local climatic conditions. The effective standard temperature at the early critical seeding date was applied for determination of the appearance date at the daily mean air temperature (DMAT) 13$^{\circ}C$. The first appearance date at DMAT 13$^{\circ}C$ for 20 years('73~'92) was found to be 30~40 days (standard deviation:8 days) in year fluctuation. Mean appearance date of it, also, was 10 days earlier than that of its 80% chance. The first appearance date at DMAT 13$^{\circ}C$ was April 26 for Suwon, April 14 for Kwangju, April 13 for Taegu and April 21 for Kangnung, and found to be 13 days in regional change between Suwon and Taegu. Thus agroclimatic characteristics based on the latitude and altitude would be analyzed systematically.

The Korea Meteorological Administration has improved medium-range weather forecasts by implementing post-processing methods to minimize numerical model errors. In this study, we employ a statistical correction technique known as the minimum continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) to refine medium-range forecast guidance. This technique quantifies the similarity between the predicted values and the observed cumulative distribution function of the Unified Model Ensemble Prediction System for Global (UM EPSG). We evaluated the performance of the medium-range forecast guidance for surface air temperature and relative humidity, noting significant enhancements in seasonal bias and root mean squared error compared to observations. Notably, compared to the existing the medium-range forecast guidance, temperature forecasts exhibit 17.5% improvement in summer and 21.5% improvement in winter. Humidity forecasts also show 12% improvement in summer and 23% improvement in winter. The results indicate that utilizing the minimum CRPS for medium-range forecast guidance provide more reliable and improved performance than UM EPSG.

The paper describes a theoretical model for the prediction of bridge temperatures from meteorological data measured at bridge site and local meteorological center together with existing finite element heat transfer theory and solar radiation transfer theory to determine the time dependent temperature distribution of bridge. In this analytical model, the most adequate equation for the calculation of solar radiation on the bridge surface, which is dominant in day time is described based on the results of several experimental studies for the solar energy. The validity of this model is tested against field data obtained from long term experimental program on Sadang Viaduct in Seoul. Also, this paper describes the linear correlation between design variables and meteorological data to establish analytical criteria for the prediction of the average temperature, which are responsible for the longitudinal deformation of the bridges and of the vertical differential temperature profiles. which are responsible for the bending deformations from the long term experimental results.

전세계적으로 집중호우, 홍수, 가뭄 등 기상이변이 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 홍수기와 갈수기가 뚜렷해지고, 이에 따라 수자원 확보에 애로사항이 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 정부는 "물의 재이용촉진 및 지원에 관한 법률"을 재정하여 효율적인 빗물 관리에 주력을 하고 있으나, 체계적인 빗물관리는 미흡한 실정이다. 즉 수자원을 효율적으로 보관하고 관리할 시스템 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 재배 작물에 대한 농업용수 확보를 위한 빗물저류조를 시공 및 모니터링을 하기 위하여 먼저 보은군 회인면 오동리의 기상 및 수문특성 조사를 실시하였고, 확률강우량을 산정하기 위해 보은기상관측소의 지속기간별 강우 자료를 수집하여 확률분포를 선정하고 매개변수를 산정하였다. 이에 따른 적합도 검정 결과 최적 확률분포형을 산정하였다. 분석한 결과를 통해 대상지역의 집수되는 면적에 내리는 유출량을 산정하였으며, 집수되는 유형은 지붕으로서 그에 대한 면적은 $120.0m^2$로 측정되었고, 지붕에 대한 유출계수로서 0.9의 값을 적용하였다. 지붕에서 집수되는 유출량의 값을 산정하였으며, 6월의 50년 빈도에서 부족한 9.4톤은 집수된 유출량으로 보충할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 50년 빈도의 10톤을 저류할 빗물은 저류조에서 30%의 여유율을 두어 13톤으로 저류조를 설계하는 것이 적정할 것으로 판단된다. 현재 빗물자원의 대부분은 바다로 유입되어 소모되거나, 하수로 유입되어 불필요한 고도처리공정이 진행되고, 하수처리장 용량에 과부하를 발생시키는 등 막대한 예산이 투입되고 있다. 갈수기시 농가에서 용수를 확보하기 위한 용수 운반장치 등 기반구축과 인력 부족으로 정상적인 용수공급의 어려움을 해결하기 위해서는 빗물자원을 용수로서 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 시스템의 구축이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Rice yield of South Korea in 2015 was the highest in last 30 years. The future direction of food policy in South Korea can be determined depending on whether the historically highest yield in 2015 can be continued or just one-off event. Therefore, it is necessary to understand whether such a high yield as 2015 can be reoccurred and how often it can occur. This study used the yield monitoring data from National Institute of Crop Science, Rural Development Administration and the meteorological data provided by Korea Meteorological Administration to identify the weather conditions, which could cause high yield, and how often these conditions occurred in the past. Our results showed that significantly high yield in 2015 could occur only when the mean sunshine hours of July and the mean sunshine hours from the end of August to early September are 5.1 hours and 6 hours, respectively. The probability of satisfying these weather conditions was 8/35 (23%) over the past 35 years. And the probability of successive high yield for two years was 1/35 (2.9%). The probability of recurrence of high yield within the next 5 years or 10 years after high yield was 4/35 (11.4%).

The purpose of this study is to examine various existing models that analyze the economic value of meteorological information, to present a new analysis model, a market model, and to quantitatively analyze the economic value of meteorological information in the Korean service industry using the market model. The research method of this paper will basically use empirical analysis along with the theoretical approach to critically examine the existing analytical model of economic value of meteorological information and to suggest a new analytical model. The analysis results are as follows. Theoretically, the marginal cost of firms is reduced by providing the amount of weather information, and social welfare is increased by the increase of consumer and producer surplus. In this paper, the marginal cost of 1% increase in the amount of weather information decreases by 0.101% and the increase in social welfare increases by 1,247billion Won in 2017. On the other hand, in the accommodation and restaurant sectors, the marginal cost due to a 1% increase in weather information decreased by 0.218%, and the social welfare increase increased by 308billion Won in 2017.

Weather causes much of the risk of agricultural activity. For efficient farming, we need to use weather information. Modern agriculture has been developed to create high added value through convergence with state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This study deals with the quality control algorithms of weather monitoring equipment through Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) observational equipment for efficient cultivation of cabbage. Accurate weather observations are important. To achieve this goal, the Korea Meteorological Administration, for example, developed various quality control algorithms to determine regularity of the observation. The research data of this study were obtained from five USN stations, which were installed in Anbandegi and Gwinemi from 2015 to 2017. Quality control algorithms were developed for flat line check, temporal outliers check, time series consistency check and spatial outliers check. Finally, the quality control algorithms proposed in this study can also identify potential abnormal observations taking into account the temporal and spatial characteristics of weather data. It is expected to be useful for efficient management of highland cabbage production by providing quality-controlled weather data.

Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) is defined as combining farm-grown crops with photovoltaic panels (PV) installed several meters above the ground. Solar radiation (W/㎡), photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, µmol/㎡/s), air temperature (℃), vapor pressure (kPa), soil moisture (㎥/㎥), soil temperature (℃), wind direction (˚), and wind speed (m/s) were measured under the AVS in Boseong-gun during winter barley season. Data was collected by 5 minute interval. All data can download at Github site (https://github.com/chojaeil/AVS_Boseung). To gap-filling missing solar radiation data during about two weeks, the conversion coefficient from solar radiation to PPFD was estimated as 0.41. Further, according to the ratio of diffuse radiation to direct radiation, the maximum value among the twenty PPFD sensors under the AVS was related to the PPFD value of filed.
