구름의 몬순의 활동에 있어서 직접적으로나 간접적으로 영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 구름이 몬순의 활동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보기 위해 ISCCP 구름자료와 GAME 재분석 자료를 입력자료로한 장파 복사 모델을 수행하였다. 모델 수행의 결과로 얻어진 대기 상부에서의 플럭스는 CERES 관측치와 비교하였으며, 구름에 의한 가열율은 몬순활동을 해석하기 위해 사용하였다. 구름이 몬순에 끼치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 맑은 대기의 가열율과 구름을 포함한 평균 대기의 가열율의 차이를 구하였으며, 이를 수평과 연직분포의 관점에서 해석하였다. 가열율의 지리적 분포는 수평적으로는 인도양에서 장파 복사 가열율의 최대가 나타났으며, 가열의 최저 (냉각)은 티벳고원에 나타났다. 이러한 공간적 분포는 구름이 남북방향으로 차등가열을 유발시키고 있음을 보여주고 있어 구름의 분포가 열적인 몬순순환을 강화시켜주고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 차등가열의 강화는 동서방향으로도 나타나 구름이 동서방향 순환에도 영향을 줄 수 있음을 보여준다. 구름에 의한 복사 가열의 연직구조는 운정에 의한 냉각과 운저에 의한 가열이 일어날 수 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이로 인해 대기의 불안정성이 높아져 연직 운동을 향상시킬 수 있는 역할을 하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 즉 몬순순환에 의해 생성된 구름은 구름 생성의 원인이 되었던 순환을 더욱 강화시키고 있음을 보이고 있다.

기후변화로 인한 몬순 강수량 변동은 세계에서 가장 인구가 많은 몬순 지역의 농업, 수자원, 에너지, 경제 및 사회와 밀접한 관련이 있으므로, 미래의 몬순 강수량 변화를 예측하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 결합 모델 상호 비교 프로젝트의 5 단계(CMIP5)에서는 복사 강제력이 2100년 이후에 약 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 및 $8.5Wm^{-2}$의 증가로 안정화된다고 가정하는 4가지의 다양한 시나리오(RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, 8.5) 자료를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한반도의 강수량에 큰 영향을 미치는 동아시아 여름 몬순의 기후 변화에 대해 더욱 집중하고자 한다. CMIP5 모형 자료에 대하여 대표 GCM 모형 선정을 하기 위해, 수문 분야에서 활용 가능한 기후모델 성능 평가 matrix를 구축하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 평가 matrix는 동아시아 및 한반도 지역을 대상으로 CMIP5 모형의 강수 및 최고?최저기온에 대한 평균 기후장(spatial climatology)과 연변동성(interannual variability)의 모사력을 각 모형별, 계절별 비교뿐만 아니라 극한기후 모사력도 함께 고려하여, 대표 GCM을 선정하였다. 기후변화에 따른 동아시아 지역의 몬순 특성을 더욱 자세히 살펴보기 위해, 대표 GCM으로 선정된 모형들의 2가지 시나리오(RCP4.5와 RCP.5)에 대해 동아시아 지역에서의 여름 몬순 강수 변동 및 특성을 분석 및 비교하였다.

전 세계적인 인구증가와 도시화로 메가시티가 점차 증가하고 있으며, 2016년 기준 37개의 메가시티 중 60% 이상(23개)이 아시아 지역에 집중되어 있다. 통상, 메가시티는 불투수율이 높고 인구가 밀집되어 있어 수재해로 인한 피해규모가 크며, 인구증가에 따른 용수부족 및 수질악화로 인해 수자원 확보가 어렵다. 특히, 아시아 지역은 몬순의 영향으로 수자원의 변동성이 크며, 최근 기후시스템의 변화는 몬순의 시 공간적 변동을 증대시킬 것으로 전망된다. 즉, 아시아 몬순지역에 위치하는 메가시티는 기후변화에 더욱 취약하며 이에 따른 수자원 확보 및 수자원 관리의 어려움은 더욱 가중될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 AR5 기후변화 시나리오를 활용하여 아시아 몬순지역 내 메가시티를 대상으로 미래기간에 대한 기온, 강수량, 유출량을 전망하고 그 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 국가별 인구 통계자료를 기반으로 아시아 몬순지역 내 존재하는 19개 메가시티를 선정하였다. 기후전망을 위해 테일러 다이어그램을 활용하여 GCMs의 몬순모의 성능을 평가하였으며, 아시아 몬순특성을 잘 반영하는 다수의 GCMs을 선정하였다. 아시아 메가시티를 평가하고자 이중선형보간기법(Bilinear method)을 적용하여 $0.5^{\circ}$ 간격의 공간해상도로 상세화하였으며, Delta method를 이용하여 편의보정을 수행하였다. GCM 모의자료의 편의를 산정하기 위해 APHRODITE의 일단위 강수자료를 이용하였으며, VIC (Variable Infiltration Capacity) 모형을 이용하여 유출량 분석을 수행하였다. 평가결과 각 메가시티의 평균기온, 강수 및 유출량이 모든 미래기간 2020s, 2050s, 2080s에서 다르게 나타났다. 해안/내륙, 경 위도 등 메가시티의 지리적 위치에 따른 변화특성 분석을 수행하였으며, 각 메가시티에 대한 여름 및 겨울철 몬순의 변화 특성을 분석하였다.

Microwave brightness temperature data measured from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) aboard Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellite are used to investigate the characteristics of hydrological features of the East Asian summer monsoon during 1994 and 1995. The analyzed parameters include total columnar water vapor, cloud liquid water, and rain rate. These are estimated from SSM/I brightness temperature data for the two summer seasons (June, July, August) of 1994 and 1995 over the Asian monsoon region (0$^{\circ}$-60$^{\circ}$N, 45$^{\circ}$-180$^{\circ}$E). Results indicate that there are periodic westward movement of dry air over the 20$^{\circ}$-30$^{\circ}$N latitudinal belt with about 20-30 day period. Considering that the location of the North Pacific high is closely linked to the evolution of the monsoon activities over East Asia, the westward expansion of the North Pacific high may be the one important element modulating the monsoon intensity.

The intensity of the East Asian summer monsoon has a negative correlation with that of the western North Pacific summer monsoon. Based on the relationship, we suggest the potential predictability of Northeast Asian summer precipitation by using the relationship. The western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) properly represents the intensity of the western North Pacific summer monsoon. It also dominates climate anomalies in the western North Pacific-East Asian region in summertime. The estimates of the Northeast Asian summer rainfall anomalies using WNPSH variability have a greater benefit than those using the western North Pacific monsoon index.

Three-dimensional distributions of longwave radiation flux for the April-September 1998 period are generated from radiative transfer calculations using the GEWEX Asian Monsoon Experiment (GAME) reanalysis temperature and humidity profiles and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) cloudiness as inputs to understand the effect of cloud radiative forcing in the monsoon season. By subtracting the heating of the clear atmosphere from the cloudy radiative heating, cloud-induced atmospheric radiative heating has been obtained. Emphasis is placed on the impact of horizontal gradients of the cloud-generated radiative heating on the Asian monsoon. Cloud-induced heating exhibits its maximum heating areas within the Indian Ocean and minimum heating over the Tibetan Plateau, which establishes the north-south oriented differential heating gradient. Considering that the differential heating is a ultimate source generating the atmospheric circulation, the cloud-induced heating gradient established between the Indian Ocean and the Plateau can enhance the strength of the north-south Hadley-type monsoon circulation. Cooling at cloud top and warming at cloud bottom, which are the vertical distributions of cloud-induced heating, can exert on the monsoon circulation by altering the atmospheric stability.

Geochemical and physical investigations such as ${\delta}^{13}C$ isotope ratio, carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, magnetic susceptibility (MS), and particle size analyses were carried out on the estuarine tidal flat sediments from the west coast of Korea in order to reconstruct the East Asian summer monsoon variability during the late Pleistocene and Holocene Our results indicated that the summer monsoon probably peaked around 7,700-7,800 yr BP and then started to decline about 7,400 yr BP in the Korean peninsular, and that the monsoon was relatively weak between 24,000-24,500 yr BP but relatively strong between 18,500-19,500 yr BP during the Last Glacial Maximum. Our estuarine geochemical data have proven to be valuable as a new proxy for detecting the shifts in monsoon strength. This new evidence will be helpful, especially for Korean paleoenvironmental studies with few proxy data archives.

In this study, the correlation between the frequency of summer tropical cyclones (TC) affecting areas around Korea over the last 37 years and the western North Pacific monsoon index (WNPMI) was analyzed. A clear positive correlation existed between the two variables, and this high positive correlation remained unchanged even when excluding El Ni$\tilde{n}$o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) years. To investigate the causes of the positive correlation between these two variables, ENSO years were excluded, after which the 8 years with the highest WNPMI (positive WNPMI phase) and the 8 years with the lowest WNPMI (negative WNPMI phase) were selected, and the average difference between the two phases was analyzed. In the positive WNPMI phase, TCs usually occurred in the eastern waters of the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, and tended to pass the East China Sea on their way north toward Korea and Japan. In the negative WNPMI phase, TCs usually occurred in the western waters of the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, and tended to pass the South China Sea on their way west toward the southeastern Chinese coast and the Indochina peninsula. Therefore, TC intensity was higher in the positive WNPMI phase, during which TCs are able to gain sufficient energy from the sea while moving a long distance to areas nearby Korea. TCs also tended to occur more often in the positive WNPMI phase. In the difference between the two phases regarding 850 and 500 hPa streamline, anomalous cyclones were reinforced in the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, while anomalous anticyclones were reinforced in mid-latitude East Asian areas. Due to these two anomalous pressure systems, anomalous southeasterlies developed in areas near Korea, with these anomalous southeasterlies playing the role of anomalous steering flows making the TCs head toward areas near Korea. Also, due to the anomalous cyclones developed in the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, more TCs could occur in the positive WNPMI phase.

This study analyzed the correlation between tropical cyclone (TC) frequency and the western North Pacific monsoon index (WNPMI), which have both been influential in East China Sea during the summer season over the past 37 years (1977-2013). A high positive correlation was found between these two variables, but it did not change even if El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) years were excluded. To determine the cause of this positive correlation, the highest (positive WNPMI phase) and lowest WNPMIs (negative WNPMI phase) during an eleven-year period were selected to analyze the mean difference between them, excluding ENSO years. In the positive WNPMI phase, TCs were mainly generated in the eastern seas of the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, passing through the East China Sea and moving northward toward Korea and Japan. In the negative phase, TCs were mainly generated in the western seas of the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, passing through the South China Sea and moving westward toward China's southern regions. Therefore, TC intensity in the positive phase was stronger due to the acquisition of sufficient energy from the sea while moving a long distance up to East Asia's mid-latitude. Additionally, TCs occurred more in the positive phase. Regarding the difference in 850 hPa and 500 hPa stream flows between the two phases, anomalous cyclones were strengthened in the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, whereas anomalous anticyclones were strengthened in East Asia's mid-latitude regions. Due to these two anomalous pressure systems, anomalous southeasterlies developed in East China Sea, which played a role in the anomalous steering flows that moved TCs into this region. Furthermore, due to the anomalous cyclones that developed in the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific, more TCs could be generated in the positive phase.

The objectives of this study are to develop a framework for selecting multi-GCMs considering Asia monsoon characteristics and assess it's applicability. 12 climate variables related to monsoon climates are selected for GCM selection. The framework for selecting multi-GCMs includes the evaluation matrix of GCM performance based on their capability to simulate historical climate features. The climatological patterns of 12 variables derived from individual GCM over the summer monsoon season during the past period (1976-2005) and they are compared against observations to evaluate GCM performance. For objective evaluation, a rigorous scoring rule is implemented by comparing the GCM performance based on the results of statistics between historical simulation derived from individual GCM and observations. Finally, appropriate 5 GCMs (NorESM1-M, bcc-csm1-m, CNRM-CM5, CMCC-CMS, and CanESM2) are selected in consideration of the ranking of GCM and precipitation performance of each GCM. The selected 5 GCMs are compared with the historical observations in terms of monsoon season and monthly mean to validate their applicability. The 5 GCMs well capture the observational climate characteristics of Asia for the 12 climate variables also they reduce the bias between the entire GCM simulations and the observational data. This study demonstrates that it is necessary to consider various climate variables for GCM selection and, the method introduced in this study can be used to select more reliable climate change scenarios for climate change assessment in the Asia region.
