전지구적으로 볼 때, 삼림은 대기 중으로 유입되는 자연적 VOCs의 주요 배출원이다. 특히 우리나라의 경우에는 산림이 전 국토의 65%를 차지하여 자연적 VOCs의 주요 배출원일 것으로 추정된다. 자연적 VOCs는 산화과정에서 발생된 에어로졸입자 생성에 의한 blue haze 발생이나 광화학 반응으로 인한 오존생성을 발생시켜 대기질에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러나, 산림은 인간에서 삼림욕을 즐길 수 있도록 하는 등 최근에는 인간에게 좀 더 이로운 존재임이 과학적으로 입증되고 있다. (중략)

현재 진행되고 있다고 여겨지는 지구변화 (Global Change)의 연구는 환경/지구과학의 초미의 관심사로 떠오르고 있다. 특히 온실가스의 분출로 인한 지구 온난화 (Global Warming)는 지구환경에 부정적인 효과가 초래될 것으로 우려되는바, 여러 지구환경 인자들의 변화를 초래할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 가장 직접적인 인자는 대기온도이고 아울러 해수온도/해류, 바람속도/방향, 대기화학 조성, 식생분포, 구름량, 얼음분포 등이 간접적인 인자들이다. 본 연구에서는 EOS 위성군 중 고층대기 연구를 위한 UARS 위성의 HRDI 센서의 자료를 분석하였다. HRDI는 대기성분 중 산소 $O_2$ 발광선의 도플러 변이를 측정하여 바람속도를 측정한다. 이 자료의 분석을 통하여 50~100 km 상공의 바람속도 변화를 지상에서의 OH 발광선 관측치와 비교하였다. 본 연구는 초기 연구로서 정략적이고 보편적인 결과 도출보다는 향후 연구를 위한 기반연구로서의 성격을 갖는다. 지구온난화는 대기의 온도를 상승시키고, 이는 대기 중 에너지의 증가를 불러와 필연적으로 고층대기의 교란 현상이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 앞으로 지구전체 대기의 풍속/풍향의 고도변화가 분석되면 지구온난화에 의한 고층대기 변화가 탐지될 것으로 기대된다.

대기 중에 비는 기체상태 혹은 입자상태로 대기오염물질을 습성침착 하는 대기정화작용을 한다. 환경과학분야에서는 이러한 자연의 대기정화 프로세스를 분석하여 강우량에 따라 대기정화 정도를 예측하기 위한 모델들을 제시하고 있고, 이러한 모델들을 이용하여 대기오염을 예보하는 응용이 확산되고 있다. 본 논문은 강수량에 따른 대기오염물질(NO2, PM10) 정화효과 모델을 기반으로, 강우량 정보를 이용하여 대기오염도 예측결과를 시각화하는 도구를 제시한다. 본 연구의 결과는 직관적인 대기오염피해를 예방하는 도구로서 활용 가능하다.

The 2nd Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI-II) is the successor to the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), which employs one near-ultraviolet wavelength (380 nm) and eight visible wavelengths(412, 443, 490, 510, 555, 620, 660, 680 nm) and three near-infrared wavelengths(709, 745, 865 nm) to observe the marine environment in Northeast Asia, including the Korean Peninsula. However, the multispectral radiance image observed at satellite altitude includes both the water-leaving radiance and the atmospheric path radiance. Therefore, the atmospheric correction process to estimate the water-leaving radiance without the path radiance is essential for analyzing the ocean environment. This manuscript describes the GOCI-II standard atmospheric correction algorithm and its initial phase validation. The GOCI-II atmospheric correction method is theoretically based on the previous GOCI atmospheric correction, then partially improved for turbid water with the GOCI-II's two additional bands, i.e., 620 and 709 nm. The match-up showed an acceptable result, with the mean absolute percentage errors are fall within 5% in blue bands. It is supposed that part of the deviation over case-II waters arose from a lack of near-infrared vicarious calibration. We expect the GOCI-II atmospheric correction algorithm to be improved and updated regularly to the GOCI-II data processing system through continuous calibration and validation activities.

The mesoscale atmospheric models to produce surface temperature can not generally consider the effect of the sloped terrain for direct solar radiation. These have not showed the regional difference of solar radiation and as a result, have made the big error in the local surface temperature. Therefore, we wished to represent the exact locality of surface temperature by considering the geometric properties of surface as well as the vegetated properties of surface. The purpose of the study is to produce local surface ground temperature in sloped terrain diagnostically using surface Energy Balance Model (EBM) with the use of GRID model in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In this study, surface inhomogeneity over southeastern part of Korean peninsula are considered in estimation of the absorbed surface solar radiation in terms of the illumination angle, depending on topographical aspect and slope in GRID. Also, the properties of vegetated surface which the major components for the variability of surface temperature are considered in terms of NDVI. The results of our study show the locally changes in the surface ground temperature due to local ground aspect and slope effect and local properties of vegetated surface. The more detailed distribution of local surface temperature may drive the local circulation at lower atmospheric and it may explain better the real local circulation.

This study evaluates the simulated meteorological fields with a particular focus on the low-level wind, which plays an important role in air pollutants dispersion, under the varying synoptic environment. Additionally, the effects of subgrid-scale orography parameterization and improved topography/land-use data on the simulated low-level wind is investigated. The WRF model version 4.1.3 is utilized to simulate two cases that were affected by different synoptic environments. One case from 2 to 6 April 2012 presents the substantial low-level wind speed over the Korean peninsula where the synoptic environment is characterized by the baroclinic instability. The other case from 14 to 18 April 2012 presents the relatively weak low-level wind speed and distinct diurnal cycle of low-level meteorological fields. The control simulations of both cases represent the systematic overestimation of the low-level wind speed. The positive bias for the case under the baroclinic instability is considerably alleviated by applying the subgrid-scale orography parameterization. However, the improvement of wind speed for the other case showing relatively weak low-level wind speed is not significant. Applying the high-resolution topography and land-use data also improves the simulated wind speed by reducing the positive bias. Our analysis shows that the increased roughness length in the high-resolution topography and land-use data is the key contributor that reduces the simulated wind speed. The simulated wind direction is also improved with the high-resolution data for both cases. Overall, our study indicates that wind forecasts can be improved through the application of the subgrid-scale orography parameterization and high-resolution topography/land-use data.

Turbulence produced on roadways is one of the major factors determining the dilution rates at the initial stage of traffic emissions of air pollutants and, thus, the distribution of air pollutants near the roadways. Field experiments were conducted on Gyeongbu Highway, one of the busiest highways in Korea, for 4~7 days in winter, spring, and summer. Two three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers were installed on both sides of the highway to estimate turbulence intensities (vertical wind fluctuation and kinetic turbulence energy) induced by the roadway. Roadway-induced turbulence consists of three components: structural road-induced turbulence (S-RIT), thermal road-induced turbulence (T-RIT), and vehicle-induced turbulence (VIT). The contribution of T-RIT to the total RIT was insignificant (less than 10%), and the majority of RIT was S-RIT (by the highway embankment) and VIT. In this study, we propose the empirical relationships of VIT as a function of traffic density and wind speed under free-flow traffic conditions. Although this empirical relationship appears to underestimate the VIT, it can be applied to the air quality models easily because the relationship is simple and only needs readily obtainable input variables (wind speed and traffic information).
