Influences of Ieodo Ocean Research Station(IORS) on the ambient wind field were investigated through a wind tunnel experiment. To secure accurate wind speeds and directions, distortions due to the structure itself on which wind-measuring devices are to be installed should be taken into account. It was shown that the wind speed ratio was sensitive to wind direction and measuring position rather than approaching wind speed. The wind speed ratios measured at main wind tower were more than B .0 in every approaching direction, and the distortion of wind direction was under 6$^{\circ}$.

Wind effects on a rain gauge can cause a significant underestimation of rainfall depths and contribute to the inconsistency in rainfall data. To revise the rainfall data requires the study about calculation of deficiency percentages of rain catch. There are few studies which reflect the variation of wind speed. in this study, the raindrop terminal velocity is quantified according to the particle size of rainfall. The model for calculating deficiency percentages of rain catch according to the particle size of rainfall is examined by experimentation. Experimentation shows that deficiency percentages of rain catch have no relationship with rainfall intensity and affected by raindrop diameter. In conclusion, the estimated deficiency percentages of rain catch coincided with the experimental results and can be used as recommended adjustment factors.

본 연구는 최근 인구와 산업체가 급증하고 있는 김해시를 대상으로 김해시.군을 통합한 1996년 이후부터 2002년까지 김해시 지상오존농도의 변화경향과 고농도 오존일에 대한 사례 연구결과 다음과 같다. 김해시 대기오염농도의 시계열변화는 증가추세가 뚜렷하였으며, 최근 대기환경기준이 강화되면서 환경지정기준을 초과하기도 하였다. 계절별 오존농도의 일변화는 사계절 가운데 봄철이 가장 농도가 높게 나타났으며 매년 증가하는 농도폭도 가장 크게 나타났다. 이는 여름철의 경우 태양고도가 높고 단위시간당 일사량은 많으나, 장마와 같은 운량 증가로 인한 일사량의 감소되거나, 기온이 상승할 경우 해안으로부터 해풍이 증가하여 여름보다는 봄철에 더 높은 농도를 나타낸 것으로 생각되며, 인구와 자동차 등의 증가로 인한 배출량이 증가한 것도 크게 영향을 미친 것으로 생각된다. 연구기간동안 60 ppb 이상의 고농도 오존일의 총 발생빈도는 237일로 나타났으며, 매년 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 대기환경기준 100 ppb/hr를 초과한 날도 8일이나 되었는데, 1999년이 4일 발생하여 오존에 의한 대기오염규제지역으로 선정되었는데, 고농도 오존일은 지난 1997년 이후 매년 증가하고 있으며 겨울을 제외한 전 월에 발생하는 특징을 나타내어 오존의 저감을 위한 실천 계획 수립뿐 아니라 고농도 오존일에 대한 집중적인 연구와 빠른 시간 내에 오존의 예.경보제를 도입 운영하는 것이 김해시민의 건강과 복지에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 고농도 오존일에 대한 사례일 첫 번째인 5월 1일은 일 최고 기온은 그리 높은 상태는 아니었지만 광범위한 이동성 고기압에 의해 대기가 정체하고 바람이 약한 시점에 광화학반응에 의한 오존생성이 용이하였고 해안가의 높은 농도의 오존이 수송되어 고농도 오존이 발생하였으며, 사례 2의 경우 대륙에서 이동해 오는 이동성 고기압의 영향으로 대기는 안정하고 바람이 약하여 기온이 급상승하였으며, 광화학반응에 의한 오존 생성이 용이하였다. 사례 3의 경우는 남북으로 놓여 있는 대규모 기압계 사이에 안상부 형태의 대상고기압이 놓여 대기는 매우 안정하고 바람이 약하며 때때로 기압계에 의한 바람이 불 경우 다소 강한 바람이 불어 일사량이 많은 기압계에서 광화학반응과 수소에 의한 오존생성이 용이하여 고농도 오존을 발생하였다.

We observed tidal currents throughout all four seasons in 2007 at a single station, located 1.6km off Haeundae Beach and compared these current data with wind data. The direction of seasonal wind represented a similarity between the winds at sea and on land but the speed of wind at sea was almost three times stronger than the wind on land. In addition, the wind at sea turned out to considerably affect on tidal currents, particularly from late summer to autumn. On the other hand, the thickness of Ekman Layer, indicating a limitation of wind influence, was estimated to be 31.8 m on average, suggesting that the entire water column is under the influence of wind. Therefore, we are required to consider the wind stress into the analysis of tidal currents for the prevention of the loss of sand from Haeundae Beach.

Climate change recently causes rapid rises in sea level in Baramarae intertidal area and the rises present several socio-economic impacts to the affected area. We have assessed the vulnerability of the region by the rise of the sea level. Using quantitative GIS method on multi-temporal satellite images, we have first estimated the elevation (Digital Elevation Model: DEM) of Baramarae intertidal area and hence we were possibly able to identify the flooded areas under the IPCC SRES scenarios. As sea level rises by 20cm, 30cm, 40cm, 50cm and 60 cm, the estimated flooded areas of the tidal flat are 68ha, 85ha, 103ha, 121ha and 139ha, respectively. The most affected area is the tidal flat in Gagyeongju Village (Gonam-li, Gonam-myeon, Taean, Chungnam), because it has not only lower altitude but also, perhaps more significantly smooth slope. The potential affected areas are currently populated by farming of oysters and short-necked clams and therefore the areas expect significant economic loss by rise of sea level.

저수지와 같은 갇혀진 수체는 상류에서 유입되는 오염물질 뿐만 아니라 성층현상에 의해서도 오염될 수 있다. 안정된 성층은 혐기성 조건을 제공하여 바닥에서의 과도한 조류성장을 유발하고 연직순환흐름을 방해한다. 갇혀진 수체에서의 연직순환은 환경적인 문제를 감소시킬 수 있도록 중요한 역할을 한다. 갇혀진 수체에서의 연직순환은 이러한 오염을 줄이는데 중요한 역할을 하는데, 연직순환을 일으키는 인자로는 빛의 입사, 바람, 물의 온도 및 열의 확산 등이 있으며, 그중에서도 가장 중요한 것은 바람의 영향이다. 그러므로 성층화된 흐름에서 바람에 의해 발생하는 연직순환에 대한 수치모형을 개발하고 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수온성층흐름에서의 순환흐름을 해석하기 위하여 유속성분을 계산하고 자유수면 변위와 온도, 염도등과 같은 스칼라양의 해석을 위해 다음과 같은 3단계의 방법을 이용하였다. 첫 번째 단계(정수압 계산단계)에서는 운동량 방정식의 경사항을 음해적으로 해석하고, 두 번째 단계(자유수면 보정단계)에서는 자유수면의 변화를 계산하고 수평방향 유속성분을 계산한다. 예측-수정자 방법(predictor-corrector step method)을 이용하여 자유수면변위와 유속을 구하였다. 마지막으로 세 번째 단계(이송-확산단계)에서는 이송-확산 방정식을 이용하여 스칼라양을 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모형의 정확도를 검증하기 위하여 정사각형수조에서 진동하는 자유수면의 해석해와 비교하였고, 성층화된 흐름에서 발생하는 연직순환에 대하여 수치모의를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 개발된 수치모형이 흐름 내부의 현상을 잘 묘사함을 알 수 있었다.

The wind stress and the wind-stress curl over the East Sea of Korea are computed from the ship-observed wind data by the FRDA. In order to emphasize the role of the wind in determining the upper-layer structure, rather persistent and strong winds are selected based on the wind-rose data. The monthly averaged wind stresses are comparable in size with the average value over the Japan Sea. But the monthly averaged magnitude of the wind-stress curl is very large compared to the one over the Japan Sea. This may be due to the spatial variation of the wind speeds influenced by the local orography. The wind-driven upper-layer thickness over the East Sea suggests that the site of deep upper layer indeed exists regardless of season but the position does not appear to be fixed. The convergence of warm surface water driven by the wind could be referred as the warm core.

Ocean circulation in the Gulf of Alaska is remarkably constant throughout the year despite of being forced by one of the largest seasonal wind stresses in the world. To explain the small seasonal changes in the transport of Alaska Stream. a set of numerical models is employed. First a diagnostic approach is applied to reproduce circulation from the observed density structure. The results reveals the very small seasonal changes in the Alaska Stream transport. Next a series of the prognostic models is used: a barotropic model. a flat bottom baroclinic model, and baroclinic model with topography. These models reveal the influence of topography and baroclinicity on the ocean's response to the seasonal wind forcing. The intercomparisons of the various model results suggest that the seasonal response of the baroclinic ocean is primary barotropic and the resultant barotropic circulation is weakened by the scattering effect of the bottom topography.

The NSCAT(NASA Scatterometer) carried by the japanese Advanced Earth Observing Satellite(ADEOS) was the first high resolution(25 km) device for the direct wind measurement over the ocean. Even it was ceased to operate in lune of 1977 because of the power failure, it gave the first opportunity to the marine meteorologists to study the direct measured ocean wind during its 9 months of operation, especially around Korea. This study is to show monthly mean ocean wind and wind stress curl fields around Korea from January, 1997 to June, 1997. Mean ocean winds in January are predominantly northwesterly and the strongest wind(12 m/s) is found near Vladivostok. The winds in the western East Sea are strongly inf1uenced by the mountain range in Korea and these topographically influenced winds make about five times larger wind stress curl fields than previous estimates based on the weather maps. The calculation of Sverdrup transport in the East Sea shows the possibility of the directional change of the East Korean Cold Current from southward to northward direction caused by the winter wind. The downwelling area near North Korea has maximum estimated speed of 45 m in january and this wind induced downwelling makes good condition for the formation of Intermediate East Sea Water together with vigorous mixing by the strong wind.

According to the Unmanned aircraft system Traffic Management (UTM), drones are permitted to fly up to 150m above ground, which is located in the atmospheric boundary layer where there is considerable wind fluctuation due to turbulence. Although it is difficult to predict when turbulence will occur drone aviation safety could be enhanced by having a better understanding of the characteristics of vertical profile of wind in the flight area. We used wind lidar (WIndMast 350M) to observe vertical profiles of wind at the test site for aviation meteorological observation equipment located near Incheon International Airport in July and September, 2022. In this study, we utilized the observed wind profile data to propose a technique for obtaining information that could help improve the drone aviation safety. The Fourier transform analysis is used to evaluate the temporal characteristics of the horizontal wind speed at various vertical levels up to 350m. We also examined the relative contribution of the variance of wind having scales of less than an hour, a crucial scale for drone flight, to the variance of wind having all scales at each vertical altitude for days with and without precipitation.
