In polyethylene film house treated with surfactants(SF316+FB0800), waterdrops attached on film surface were absorbed to filter paper of 9 cm in diameter and measured 1.21 mL in control, 0.15 mL in 1% and 0.07 mL in 2% on December 10 at 10:00, 2002. However, there was no clear difference between surfactant concentrations 1% and 2%, And the most waterdrop was measured at 10:00 in daytime. As the air temperature was higher in greenhouse, waterdrop was sweled. So, the least waterdrop was measured at 14:00. In greenhouse covered with surfactants concentrated 1% and 2%, transmittances of solar radiation were 9.3% and 12.9% higher than control, respectively. In air temperature and relative humidity, there were no significant difference in all greenhouse. in forenoon, the air temperature and relative surfactant treated film greenhouse tended 1~2$^{\circ}C$ warmer than that of control. However, sil temperatures of surfactant treated film greenhouse tended 3~4$^{\circ}C$ warmer than that of control. During winter, the lettuce growth in surfactant treated film greenhouse was faster than that of control. However, there was no difference between surfactant concentrations of 1% and 2%.

For agriculture is very highly dependent on climate and weather condistions, global warming seems to have a great impact on it, including its productivity, cultivation condition, product quality, and optimum cultivation location. In this study, we adopted geographical information system (GIS) in order to investigate the changes of Korea's cultivation area which are caused by global warming, especially with the examples of such tropical and sub-tropical fruits as lemon, fig, kiwi, orange, pomegranate, and mandarin. In terms of GIS techniques, we utilized the interpolate function for temperature changes, surface analysis function for slope, and raster calculator. Currently, these fruits's cultivation areas are in Jeju island and southern part of Korea. But these areas will be expanded according as our GIS model assumes $3^{\circ}C$ and $4.5^{\circ}$ increases of average and lowest temperature by the global warming in Korea. Optimum cultivation areas of these six fruits have two patterns; one is expansion and the other is belt shape shift. From the results of the study, we call for an urgent need of Korea government's policy and farmers' reasonable responses about global warming, which will be able to give more opportunities and better foods to Korea society in general.

As industrialization and urbanization progress extensively, climate change is intensifying due to greenhouse gas emissions. In Korea, the average temperature increased, and the annual precipitation also increased due to climate change. In addition, the meaning of the solar term, which expresses seasons according to the movement of the sun, is also being overshadowed. Therefore, this study investigated the seasonal changes and solar-term changes of average temperature and precipitation observed in the past as well as simulated for future RCP climate change scenarios for five major regions (Capital Region, Gyeongsang, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gangwon). For the seasonal length, the length of summer became longer, the length of winter became shorter nationwide, and the precipitation in summer generally increased compared to the past. In the Chungcheong area, under the RCP 8.5 scenario, the length of summer increased by 46%, precipitation increased by 16.2%, and the length of winter decreased by 31.8% compared to the past. For the solar term, the temperature rose in all seasons. In the Chungcheong area, under the RCP 8.5 scenario, the temperature of major heat increased by 15.5%, and the temperature of major cold increased by 75.7% compared to the past. The overall results showed that the hydrological characteristics of the season and solar term were identified by region, which can be used as basic data to prepare policies to respond to climate change.

To study whether the area under the cultivation of Italian ryegrass (IRG) has increased with rise in global temperatures, we investigated the effects of climatic variables on seed productivity in different parts of Gangwon-do, South Korea. Specifically, IRG was cultivated in the western (Gangneung), central (Wonju), and northern (Chuncheon) parts of Gangwon-do. The heading date of IRG in Gangneung was earlier than that in the other regions. Moreover, the values of agronomic traits, including spikelets per spike, grains per spike, and thousand-grain weight, were lower in Chuncheon. However, there were no differences spikelets per spike and grains per spike between Wonju and Gangneung. Additionally, the thousand-grain weight and seed production were higher in Gangneung. Statistical correlation analysis between climatic variables and agronomic traits revealed that the mean daily minimum temperature was positively correlated with seed formation-related traits in April and seed maturity-related traits in May. In the light of rising minimum temperatures in Gangwon-do, Gangneung, Chuncheon and Wonju are suitable areas for IRG cultivation with optimal seed productivity.

이상기후기간동안 유역의 수문 변화는 강수변화와 기온변화 등 복합적인 상관관계에 의하여 나타난다. 우리나라 지역의 최근 강수변화는 연 강수량의 증가 추세를 보이나 기온 또한 상승하므로 강수효율의 연변화, 월변화 및 지역 변화특성의 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강수변화와 기온변화의 상관관계로 나타나는 월강수량을 월 증발량으로 나눈 P-E비 즉 강수효율을 분석하였다. 이상기후기간과 평년에 대한 강수효율 분석 결과 강수량의 영향이 지배적이고 기온이 강수효율에 미치는 영향은 미미하다 하겠다. 일반적으로 연 강수효율은 엘리뇨>평년>라니냐기간 순으로 나타난다. 이러한 일반적 특성과 달리 도시화된 서울과 인천지역의 연강수효율은 기후에 따른 차이를 발견할 수 없으나 연 강수효율과 달리 월 강수효율변화는 매우 큼을 보였다. 고도 200m 이상인 점과 섬이라는 지역 특성으로 인하여 울릉도는 평년>라니냐>엘리뇨라는 타 지역과 상반된 강수효율 분포를 보였다. 남부지역으로 갈수록 엘리뇨해의 강수효율이 높은 것으로 보아 엘리뇨의 영향을 더 많이 받는 지역은 북부지역 보다는 남부지역 이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 엘니뇨해의 7, 8월의 강수효율이 높게 나타났으며 이는 엘니뇨해의 7, 8월의 강수량이 많다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 엘리뇨 기간 9, 10월 강수 효율은 평년에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 라니냐해의 강수효율 분포를 살펴보면 6, 9월에 강수효율이 높게 나타났으며 11, 12월 강수효율이 평년에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 서울, 강릉, 울릉, 부산, 광주, 여수, 제주지역의 강수효율이 타 지역에 비해 높게 나타났다. 서울, 부산, 광주 지역은 고도의 도시화로 인해, 강릉, 울릉도, 여수, 제주 지역은 해양과 인접한 지형적 특성 때문이라 판단된다. 강수효율 또한 강수량이 집중되는 5월부터 8월까지 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 나머지 달은 대부분 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper aims to investigate the frequency and intensity variations of Okhotsk high pressure system focused on the Korean Peninsula. Weather chart (00UTC), daily weather data and reanalysis data were used. The first occurrence date of Okhotsk high pressure system tends to be earlier in those years that surrounding land air temperature in April is high. The frequency of Okhotsk high has recently decreased, and its intensity tends to be stronger when the difference between sea surface temperature and surrounding land air temperature is big. The frequency of Okhotsk high in April, May, June and July increases when surrounding land air temperature is high, and its intensity grows when the difference between surrounding land air temperature and sea surface temperature is big. The frequency of Okhotsk high may increase and its intensity may increase when the first occurrence date comes earlier. In June, however, the reverse may apply.

The seasonal changes of the flora at three samples sites such as Sockchong, Wang-gung and Chukrim hot spring by drained thermal waters were investigated from 1997 to 1998. Monthly occurrence of plant species in February and October showed more abundantly control site than that of heavy and/or light polluted sites. This trend demonstrated similarly in terms of seasonal changes of leaf area and plant growths, both fresh and dry weight, too. Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb content including plants from Sockchong hot spring site were increased from April to September at test area than that of control, while that was decreased in October. But Zn and Pb content holding plants from Wang-gung hot spring site represented higher test site than that of control. In short impacts on aquatic plants communities by thermal wastewater of sampled area have happened in the season of low temperature, and their restorations have done in summer season.

This study analyzed the changes in climate elements that affects the opening and closing dates of the ski resorts, and the snowmaking. Climatology data from the weather stations adjacent to the ski resorts in the central region of Korea were analysed to understand the snowmakig status. The fan type snowmaker has been used in the capital region (over 94% of the whole snowmaking), while the gun type snowmaker has been used in Yongpyong. There has been obviously an increased trend of the daily minimum temperature in November in Daegwallyeong and a little decreased trend in Icheon after 1980s. That caused the effect on the opening dates of the ski resort in the capital region of Korea during 2000s. Closing dates of ski resorts were earlier in the capital region (with $2{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ of daily maximum temperature in mid-February) than in Yongpyong. The obviously increasing rate of the snowmelting day in Icheon also hardened the management and maintenance of the ski resorts in the capital region of Korea.

전 세계적으로 기후변화 및 산업화로 인해 대규모 홍수, 가뭄, 폭염, 산불 등의 재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 재해 및 재난을 조기에 발견하고 최소화를 위한 대응 체계 및 관리방안의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 자연재해들의 특징은 추가 재해를 유발할 수 있다는 것으로 재해의 강도가 증가할 뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 재난 및 재해를 동시에 유발하는 형태로 변화하기 때문에, 단일자연재해 평가 기술을 바탕으로 복합자연재해에 대한 분석 및 감지가 진행되어야 한다. 최근 기후변화로 인한 기상 패턴의 변화 및 가뭄 발생빈도의 증가가 뚜렷하며, 국외에서는 폭염과 가뭄을 고려한 복합자연재해로 'Flash Drought'로 정의된 돌발가뭄에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 폭염과 가뭄은 단순 강우 부족으로 인한 가뭄, 높은 기온으로 인한 폭염 등이 서로 독립적으로 발생하는 경우와 강우부족과 폭염의 지속으로 인한 상호연관성이 존재하는 복합자연재해 등으로 구분할 수 있다. 돌발가뭄은 강수 부족 또는 폭염이 지속되거나 강도가 높아질 경우, 지면온도가 상승하여 토양수분이 필요 이상으로 증발하여 단기간에 발생하는 초단기 가뭄으로 복합자연재해에 해당하며, 이러한 돌발가뭄은 농업분야에서 작물 생장 및 영농기 활동에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 모니터링 및 감지 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수문기상학적 요소를 활용하여 폭염 및 가뭄을 고려한 복합자연재해에 대한 상관분석을 수행하였다. 기상청에서 제공하는 기상자료(일최고기온/평균기온/최저기온, 강수량, 상대습도, 일조량 등)에 대한 전국 76개소 대상 기상자료를 구축하였으며, Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 등과 같은 위성영상 자료를 구축하여 폭염과 가뭄에 대한 각각의 인자를 선정하고 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 복합자연재해 감지 및 예측 기술 개발에 활용하여 재해 예방 및 대응에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

연기후변화를 막는 데 숲은 매우 중요한 자원이다. 탄소를 흡수하기 때문이다. 이런 숲이 정작 기후변화 때문에 위태로운 지경이다. 올봄에도 수락산, 북한산 등의 수도권 인근 산을 비롯해 전국 62곳에 달하는 산에서 1만여 그루가 넘는 참나무가 잘려나갔다. 참나무의 흑사병이라고 불리는 '시듦병' 때문이다. 좀벌레들이 지구온난화에 따른 기온 상승으로 활동 주기가 빨라져 피해가 컸다고 한다. 기후변화 리더십 과정 제6강은 장마가 시작되기 하루 전인 지난 6월 16일, 서울 동대문구 회기로에 위치한 국립산림과학원 홍릉 수목원에서 진행됐다. '탄소를 담는 그릇'으로서 숲의 가치를 되짚어보는 두 전문가의 강연을 들은 뒤, 수강생들은 숲 체험 교육을 받았다. 그리고 파란 하늘 아래 신선한 녹음 속에서 힘찬 목소리로 '저탄소 경영' 선언문을 낭독했다.
