댐이나 홍수방지시설과 같은 대규모 수공구조물의 설계 및 평가에는 주로 가능최대강수량(Probable Maximum Precipitation, PMP)가 적용되고 있다. 이러한 PMP의 산정은 관측자료의 정상성 가정을 기반으로 하기 때문에 기후변화와 같은 비정상성을 고려할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 대기 프로세스의 비정상성 효과를 반영할 수 있는 물리적 기반의 수치 기상 모형(Numerical Weather Model)을 이용하여 최대강수량(Maximum Precipitation, MP)을 산정하는 접근법을 제시하고자 한다. 사례 연구로 대상 극한 강우사상을 식별하고, 식별된 사상들은 지역 대기 모형 중 하나인 WRF를 이용하여 재현된다. 이때, 한국 내의 약 650개의 AWS 자료와 NCEP에서 제공하는 전세계 기상관측자료 및 해수면 온도 자료를 사용하여 초기조건과 경계조건을 개선하고, 총 강수량과 강우의 공간적인 분포를 재현하기 위한 최적 물리옵션을 찾기 위해 다양한 수치실험이 수행된다. 최종적으로 재현된 극한 강우사상은 모형의 경계조건과 수분 최대화의 통해 최대화되어 물리적으로 가능한 최대 강수량을 산정하게 된다. 본 연구는 제한된 강우사상을 대상으로 최대 강수량을 산정하였기 때문에 추후 다양한 강우사상에 대한 연구와 강우의 최대화에 대한 보완이 필요하지만, 정상성 가정에 의존하지 않는 극한 강우사상 산정에 잠재적인 대안이 될 것이라 기대된다.

A weather radar extracts the weather information from the return echoes which consist of scattered electromagnetic wave signals from rain, cloud and dust particles, etc. The acquisition of accurate weather information depends on the operation environment which include the Doppler weather signal and ground clutter characteristics. Since the conventional symmetric weather Doppler model does not represent the measurements in real situations, the improved model is suggested to describe the skewness in the Doppler spectrum model. Using the suggested model, many various weather signals can be simulated to verify the accuracy of signal processing algorithms and the reliability of the extracted weather information

Increased frequency of climate extremes is another face of climate change confronted by humans, resulting in catastrophic losses in agriculture. While climate extremes take place on many scales, impacts are experienced locally and mitigation tools are a function of local conditions. To address this, agrometeorological early warning systems must be place and location based, incorporating the climate, crop and land attributes at the appropriate scale. Existing services often lack site-specific information on adverse weather and countermeasures relevant to farming activities. Warnings on chronic long term effects of adverse weather or combined effects of two or more weather elements are seldom provided, either. This lecture discusses a field-specific early warning system implemented on a catchment scale agrometeorological service, by which volunteer farmers are provided with face-to-face disaster warnings along with relevant countermeasures. The products are based on core techniques such as scaling down of weather information to a field level and the crop specific risk assessment. Likelihood of a disaster is evaluated by the relative position of current risk on the standardized normal distribution from climatological normal year prepared for 840 catchments in South Korea. A validation study has begun with a 4-year plan for implementing an operational service in Seomjin River Basin, which accommodates over 60,000 farms and orchards. Diverse experiences obtained through this study will certainly be useful in planning and developing the nation-wide disaster early warning system for agricultural sector.

The National Center for AgroMeteorology (NCAM) has designed a risk management solution for individual farms threatened by the climate change and variability. The new service produces weather risk indices tailored to the crop species and phenology by using site-specific weather forecasts and analysis derived from digital products of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). If the risk is high enough to cause any damage to the crops, agrometeorological warnings or watches are delivered to the growers' cellular phones with relevant countermeasures to help protect their crops against the potential damage. Core techniques such as scaling down of weather data to individual farm level and the crop specific risk assessment for operational service were developed and integrated into a cloud based service system. The system was employed and implemented in a rural catchment of 50 $km^2$ with diverse agricultural activities and 230 volunteer farmers are participating in this project to get the user-specific weather information from and to feed their evaluations back to NCAM. The experience obtained through this project will be useful in planning and developing the nation-wide early warning service in agricultural sector exposed to the climate and weather extremes under climate change and climate variability.

The electric utility has the responsibility of reducing the impact of peaks on electricity demand and related costs. Therefore, they have introduced Direct Load Control System (DLCS) to automate the external control of shedding customer load that it controls. The existing DLCS have been operated only depend on On/Off signal from the electric utility. That kind of DLCS operating has been successfully used until now. But since the number of customer load participating in the DLC program are keep increasing, On/Off signal control from the electric utility is no longer meets the needs of many different kind of customers. Therefore, In this paper, the author suggest the design of direct load control system using weather sensors to meet the diversity of different customer needs.

The aim of this paper is to find the weather conditions which make the abnormal propagation of a radar bear In order to analyze the weather conditions which cause superrefraction or ducting, the meteorological data of the west sea and the south sea of Korea are classified which are observed during three years from 2000. Atmospheric indexes of refraction with increasing altitude are calculated and the rate of variation of temperature and hmidity at the altitude where the index is very low are observed. It is found that unwanted radar echoes by anomalous propagation are showed up only when the atmospheric indexes of refraction at a altitude is less than -150/km and the reverse layer of temperature appears with a sudden drop of humidity at the altitude.

지구온난화와 하천환경의 변화로 수질 오염이 심각해지고 녹조 현상 등의 피해가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 기후변화로 인해 온도와 강우량의 변동성이 동시에 증가하고 있어 하천의 수환경 관리측면에서 어려움이 증가하고 있다. 최근 하천 개발 사업으로 인한 인공 구조물 축조로 하천의 오염도 변화는 중요한 논점으로 대두되었으며, 그에 따라 정확한 수질 전망이 요구되고 있다. 녹조평가에 있어 주요 대리변수(proxy variable)로 chlorophyll-a(Chl-a)가 사용되고 있지만, Chl-a는 규조류와 남조류(cyanobacteria) 모두에서 발견되는 지표로서, 녹조의 유해성을 Chl-a 수질 지표만을 사용하여 판단하기에는 한계가 있다. Chl-a뿐만 아니라 수질에 대한 유량, 온도, 영양염류 등의 영향 또한 기존 연구에서 밝혀진 바 있다. 하지만 기존의 물리기반의 결정론적모형은 수질의 추계학적(stochastic) 특성을 반영하는데 제한적이며, 다양한 수문기상학적 조건을 고려한 시나리오 기반의 분석을 수행하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 특정 지점의 보 건설 이후 수문기상 자료를 이용하여 유해 남조류 개체수와 관계있는 수문기상학적 요인을 평가하고 최종적으로 Bayesian Poisson Regression 기반의 중·장기 녹조 예측 모형을 개발하였으며, 해설결과에 대한 불확실성 정보도 제공할 수 있도록 하였다.

The study was conducted to determine the effects of forest restoration methods and stand structure on solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature, and soil water content, based on volume, in forest stand after forest fire. The changes of the micro-climate elements in naturally and artificially restored forest after forest fire were measured in Goseong and Samcheok, Gangwon province. Pinus spp. were commonly appeared in ridges, barren lands or planted areas of the study sites while the other areas were dominated by Quercus spp. In the early stage, trees in the naturally regenerated site grow better than the trees in artificially rehabilitated site. However, the growth ratio rapidly decreased by time passed in natural regeneration area. The environmental conditions (solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature and soil water content) were significantly different by the regions and the methods (p<.05). However, the coefficients of variations of the environmental conditions were not significantly different at 95% confidence level. As the coverage and tree height in crown layer increased, the relative humidity and soil water content were increased while the temperature and solar radiation were decreased. Especially, the relative humidity, solar radiation, and soil water content were clearly affected by the tree height and coverage ratio ($R^2$ means from 0.628 to 0.924). Even though the data should have collected at least more than 5 years in meteorological analysis, the two year results show some clear relationship between forest structure and microclimate elements.

영상 정보에 기반한 지능형 교통 정보 시스템(ITS)의 응용 분야에서, 차량의 그림자 제거와 겹침 차량을 분리하기 위하여 3차원 물체의 특징을 이용하며 차량 형상을 분리하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 차량을 분리하기 위하여 연속 프레임에서 배경을 수정하고, 배경 영상과 현재 입력 영상의 차이를 이용한다. 또한 그림자를 제거하고 겹침 차량을 분리하기 위하여, 1) 3차원 증거를 차량 증거 영역에서 검출하여 군집화하고, 2) 독립 차량의 중심 위치를 판단하고, 3) 다시 임계치에 의해 차량의 형상을 분리한다. 단순 임계치에 의해 차량을 분리하는 기법은 기상조건 등에 민감하기 때문에 여러 조건에 따라 다른 알고리즘을 적용해야 하지만 제안하는 기법은 동일한 알고리즘으로 여러 기상조건에 적응이 가능하다.
