A long-term change in the evaporation rate have an influence on the hydrologic processes at the interface between the land surface-air and crop yield. Several previous studies have reported declines in pan evaporation rate, while actual evaporation rate is expected to increase due to anthropogenic global change in the future. The decreasing trend of pan evaporation rate might be involved with global warming and accordingly the trend of annual pan evaporation rate also needs to be checked here in Korea. In this study, 14 points of pan evaporation observation are intensively studied to investigate the trend of pan evaporation for the time period of 1970-2000. Annual pan evaporation is decreasing at the rate of 1.6mm/yr, which corresponds to approximately 50mm for 30 years. Annual pan evaporation rate is larger by $\sim10%$ at the coastal area and decreasing rate is faster as -2.46 mm/yr per year, while that is -0.82 mm/yr per year at the in-land area. The results of the Mann-Kendall trend test shows 4 points are decreasing and 10 points are unchanged with 95% confidence interval. But national annual average values show the decreasing trend of pan evaporation rate as a whole, which corresponds to general trend all over the world. This study will contribute to a variety of studies on water resources, hydrology, agricultural engineering, meteorology, and coastal engineering in association with future global climate change.

2008년 6월 14일, 일본 이와테(암수(岩手)) 미야기(궁성(宮城)) 내륙 지진이 발생하였다. 평야지역에서의 피해는 경미하였지만, 산간지역은 괴멸적인 피해를 입은 것이 가장 큰 특정이다. 특히, 산간지역의 간이수도 등, 소규모 수도 시설의 지하수원이 고갈되고 정수시설의 경사면이 붕괴되는 등의 피해를 입었다. 또, 지진발생 후, 원수의 높은 탁도와 색도가 시간이 경과한 시점에서도 낮아지거나 없어지지 않았던 곳이 많았다. 이번 연구보고에서는, 간이수도 등의 피해와 상호지원 체제의 상황을 보고함과 동시에 소규모 수도시설의 지진 재해에 대한 제언을 제시하고자 하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze thermal sensation which is measured bv human physioclimatic reactions in Korea. Human physiological reactions to temperature and relative humidity are analyzed to produce a nomogram from which average human reactions to the climatic factors can be deduced. Thermal - indices for each regular stations in both South (1961-1990) and North Korea(1973-1994) are calculated based on monthly meteorological data. A generalized annual physioclimatic maps for each Annual Cumulative Thermal Index for the 52 stations are constructed to show how men tend to feel in various areas. Resuts of this study can be applied for evaluation of thermal environment in our daily activities, and for searching relevant sports training-sites.

This study applied the Kalman Filter for real-time forecasting the G/R (ground rain gauge rainfall/radar rainfall) ratio to correct the mean field bias of the very-short-range-forecast (VSRF) rainfall. The MAPLE-forecasted rainfall was used as the VSRF rainfall, also the methodology for deciding the G/R ratio was improved by evaluating the change of G/R ratio characteristics depending on the threshold and accumulation time. This analysis was done for the inland, mountain, and coastal regions, separately, for their comparison. As the results, more stable G/R ratio could be estimated by applying the threshold and accumulation time, whose forecasting accuracy could also be secured. The accuracy of the corrected rainfall forecasting by the forecasted G/R ratio was the best in the inland region but the worst in the coastal region.

In this study, assessment of vulnerability in the management of spatio-temporal groundwater resources considering the surface waterground water interactions was conducted in administrative districts of mountainous regions in Korea. Mountainous regions were classified into four regions and spatial groundwater resources management vulnerability assessment criteria were selected to consider the surface water-ground water interactions. Paju in the central mountainous region, Gapyeongin the mountains region, Gurye in the southwestern mountainous region, and Yangsan in the southeastern mountainous region were selected as a result of the selection of vulnerable area for groundwater resources management. Assessment of the Monthly vulnerability to groundwater resource management due to changes in groundwater levels and infiltration was carried out in the selected areas. As a result of monthly vulnerability to groundwater resources management, December ~ Feburary was assessed as vulnerable to groundwater resource management. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the more efficient groundwater resource management measures by administrative district

Within the framework of the post-2020 climate regime, the Paris Agreement's emphasis on Nationally Determined Contributions and Biennial Transparency Reporting is paramount in addressing its long-term temperature goal. A salient issue is the treatment of wetland ecosystems within the context of Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry, as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In the 2019 National Inventory Report, wetlands were recategorized as emission sources due to their designation as inundated areas. This study employs C-band radar imagery to discriminate between inundated and non-inundated regions of wetlands, enabling the quantification of their spatial dynamics. The research capitalizes on 24-period Sentinel-1 satellite data to cover both the inundation and desiccation phases while centering its attention on Ungok Wetland, a Ramsar-designated inland wetland conservation area in Korea. The inundated area is quantitatively assessed through the integration of multi-temporal Sentinel-1 Single-Look Complex (SLC) data, aerial orthophotography, and inland wetland spatial information. Furthermore, the study scrutinizes fluctuations in the maximum and minimum inundated areas, with substantial changes corroborated via drone aerial reconnaissance. The outcomes of this investigation hold the potential to make substantive contributions to the refinement of national greenhouse gas absorption and emission factors, thereby informing the development of comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories. These efforts align directly with the overarching objectives of the Paris Agreement.

In the present field study, the number of woody flora of Mt. Songni were summarized as 44 families, 89 generas, 140 species, 10 varities and 2 forms. Also, the flora among inland areas such as Mt. Paektu, Mt. Sorak, Mt. Songni, and Mt. Chiri, and insular areas, such as Oyoujong Island. Tokjok Archipelago, Kok-unsan Archipelago and Cheju Island, were compared, respectively, in order to interpret the characteristics of distribution patterns of the flora of this area. The flora of Mt. Songni were characterized as similar to the flora of Mt. Sorak, and also with that of Mt. Chiri. It was interpreted both the northern types of plants such as Aceraceae, Araliaceae, Fagaceae, Tiliaceae and Ulmaceae and the southern types of plants such as Celastraceae, Convolvulaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rhamnaceae, Solanaceae, Crassulaceae and Urticaceae were fluxed considerably into this region.

The reclaimed land has peculiar characteristic of nature environment unlike midtown or inland and also, in comparison with inland, has bad weather condition, such as low temperature, strong wind, excessive sunshine, and moisture involved in a salt. Therefore the case of developing water front needs understanding characteristic of weather environment mused by reclamation in detail and proper development and organized maintenance. If development which doesn't investigate topographic and climate characteristic sufficiently is drove ahead, a rise of expense for energy and maintenance is going to be mused by deteriorating weather environmental, occurring a flaw of facility and calculating inaccurate capacity of facility. We looked into the weather state and drew up the standard weather data of the newport area in Busan which is reclaiming and developing now. In this research at the base qf the standard weather data, we calculate the dynamic peak loads for commerce, business and residence and then we utilize the results of the load calculation as basic information to determine facility capacity in the rear city of the newport area.
