The two key factors controlling the atmospheric general circulation are the equator-to-pole temperature difference and the Coriolis force driven by Earth's rotation. Although the former's role has been extensively examined, little has been reported about the latter's effect. To better understand the atmospheric general circulation, this study investigates the responses of Hadley Cell (HC) and westerly jet to the rotation faster or slower than the present Earth's rotation rate. It turns out that the HC edge and jet position tend to move equatorward and become weaker with increasing rotation rate. In most cases, the HC edge is quasi-linearly related with the jet position except for the extremely slow or fast rotating cases. The HC edge is more inversely proportional to the root of rotation rate than the rotation rate in the range of 1/8 to 8 times of the current Earth's rotation rate. However, such a relationship does not appear in the relationship between HC strength and jet intensity. This result highlights that while the latitudinal structure of atmospheric general circulation can be, to some extent, scaled with the Earth's rotation rate, overall intensity cannot be simply explained by the Earth's rotation rate.

In this study, STEAM program on the subject of 'atmospheric circulation and surface current' was produced based on data and applied to 106 first-year high school students to analyze its effect and problem-solving processes. This program was organized to collect, refine, visualize, and analyze data and to allow communication processes to proceed based on these results. Using this, the concept of circulation in daily life was expanded from a global perspective to identify problems about circulation around the world. As a result of the application of the program, significant changes were identified in knowledge information processing competency. Also, significant changes were made in terms of convergence and creativity, which are sub categories among STEAM core competencies. It also sought to obtain suggestions for data-based STEAM education by analyzing students' responses in the form of a Text network.

우리 나라는 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸여 있고 전국토의 70%정도가 산지로 되어 있으며 북쪽과 동쪽이 높고 서쪽과 남쪽으로 갈수록 기울어지는 '경동지괴'의 지형적 특성을 가지고 있다. 그리고 여러 가지 이유에서 대규모의 공단이나 대도시들이 연안지역과 내륙 저지대에 많이 형성되어 있다. 따라서 연안지역은 국지 순환인 해륙풍의 영향이 잘 나타나고, 지형의 경사가 복잡한 지역의 경우는 산곡풍에 의한 영향을 많이 받게 된다. 이러한 주요 공업지역의 지리적 위치로 인해 해륙풍ㆍ산곡풍과 같은 국지순환은 단순한 기상현상이 아닌 대기오염의 수송과 관련되어 그 중요성이 더욱 부각되게 되었다(이화운, 2000).

한반도의 강수를 예측하는 것은 수자원 관리 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 한반도의 강수는 연별 변동 뿐 아니라 계절별로 변동을 갖는다. 우리는 이 중 건기(Dry period)의 가뭄과 그 이후 농번기(3월, 4월)에 영향을 미치는 초겨울(11월, 12월)의 강수를 예측은 수자원 관리에 있어서 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 Regularized regression 모형인 Elastic net model을 이용하여 중장기 (7개월 이상)기반으로 초겨울의 강우 예측의 가능성에 대해서 논하고자 한다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 초겨울 강우의 변동이 대서양의 대규모의 대기 순환과 밀접한 관계를 보이는 것을 확인하였으며 이를 논하기 위해서 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) 등의 자료를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이 시간적 지체 효과를 갖고 있는 대기 순환은 Eurasia 지역을 기반으로 횡적인 순환과 관련이 깊은 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 앞으로 우리나라의 가뭄관리에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) has been developed as a counterpart of Atmospheric General Circulation (AGCM) for the study of coupled ocean-atmosphere climate system. The oceanic responses to given atmospheric boundary conditions have been investigated using the OGCM. In an integration carried out over 100 simulated years with climatological monthly mean data (EXP 1), most parts of the model reached a quasi-equilibrium climate reproducing many of the observed large-scale oceanic features remarkably well. Some observed narrow currents, however, such as North Equatorial Counter Current, were inevitably distorted due to the model's relatively coarse resolution. The seasonal changes in sea ice cover over the southern oceans around Antarctica were also simulated. In an experiment (EXP 2) under boundary condition of 10-year monthly data (1982-1991) from NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project model properly reproduced major oceanic changes during the period, including El Ni$\tilde{n}$os of 1982-1983 and 1986-87. During the ENSO periods, the experiment showed eastward expansion of warm surface waters and a negative vertical velocity anomalies along' the equator in response to expansion of westerly current velocity anomalies as westerly wind anomalies propagated eastward. Simulated anomalous distribution and the time behavior in response to El Ni$\tilde{n}$o events is consistent with that of the observations. These experiments showed that the model has an ability to reproduce major mean and anomalous oceanic features and can be effectively used for the study of ocean-atmosphere coupling system.

Studies of atmospheric general circulation in the troposphere and stratosphere are very important to understand the influence of human activities on the global climate and its change. Recently, the existence of an annual cycle in the circulation has been reported by a number of studies. In this study, the residual mean meridional circulation is calculated by the TEM momentum and continuity equations for the period from December 1985 to November 1995 (10 years), and the long-term variations of the circulation and mass fluxes across the 100hPa surface are examined. The multiple regression statistical model is used to obtain quantitatively the long-term variations. This study is focused especially on mean meridional circulation in the troposphere and stratosphere associated with ENSO (El Ni${\tilde{n}}$o-Southern Oscillation) which is known as a cause of the unusual weather, global climate, and its change. The results show that the global scale troposphere-stratosphere mean meridional circulation is intensified during El Ni${\tilde{n}}$o event and QBO (quasi-biennal oscillation) easterly phase and weakened during La Ni${\tilde{n}}$o event and QBO westerly phase. The signal of Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption in June 1991 is obtained. Due to the volcanic eruption the global scale troposphere-stratosphere mean meridional circulation is abruptly intensified.

The seasonal predictability of typhoon activity over the western North Pacific is investigated using an atmospheric general circulation model GCPS. A ten-member ensemble with different initial conditions is integrated for five months using observed sea surface temperature data for each year from 1979 to 2003. It is shown that the monthly variation of occurrence frequency of simulated tropical storms and the distribution of tropical storm genesis location are similar to those of observed tropical storms, but the model is unable to reliably predict the interannual variation of the occurrence frequency of tropical storms. This is largely because the observed relationship between tropical storm occurrence frequency and ENSO is different from the simulated one. Unlike the observation, in which the tropical storm occurrence frequency has no relation to ENSO, the model has a tendency to generate more (less) tropical storms than normal during El Nino (La Nina). On the other hand, the interannual variation of the mean longitude of tropical storms that shows a close connection with ENSO in both observations and simulations is simulated similar to the observation.

우리나라의 경우, 대부분의 대도시가 연안지역에 위치해 있고 이들 대도시는 대규모 공단지역을 포함하고 있어 오염물질의 거대한 배출원으로 작용하고 있다. 또한 우리나라의 지형적인 특성을 보면, 내륙과 마찬가지로 연안부근 대도시의 경우도 산악성 지형의 형태를 띄고 있으며 연안의 굴곡도 심하게 나타나고 있다. 일반적으로 이들 대도시 지역에서 고농도의 대기오염이 나타나는 경우는 종관기상장의 영향이 적어서 국지순환계의 영향이 크게 부각되는 기간이다.(중략)

Even though the increase of greenhouse gases such as $CO_2$ is thought to be the main cause for global warming, its impact on global climate has not been revealed clearly in rather quantitative manners. However, researches using Genral Circulation Model(GCM) has shown that the accumulation of greenhouse gases increases the global mean temperature, which in turn impacts on the global water circulation pattern. A climate predictive capability is limited by lack of understanding of the different process governing the climate and hydrologic systems. The prediction of the complex responses of the fully coupled climate and hydrologic systems can be achieved only through development of models that adequately describe the relevant process at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. These models must ultimately couple the atmospheres, oceans, and lad and will involve many submodels that properly represent the individual processes at work within the coupled components of systems. So far, there are no climate and related hydrologic models except local rainfall-runoff models in Korea. The purpose of this research is to predict the change of temperature in Korean Peninsula using regional scale model(IRSHAM96 model) and GCM data obtained from the increasing scenarios of $CO_2$ Korean Peninsula increased by $2.5^{\circ}C$ and the duration of Winter in $lxCO_2$ condition would be shorter the $2xCo_2$ condition due to global warming.
