인간활동에 의해 오존이 감소하고 있다는 사실이 1985년 남극지역 전량오존에 관한 보고서로 처음 밝혀진 이후 계속적으로 북극지역과 중위도 지역에서도 동일한 현상이 일어나고 있다고 보고되고 있다(WMO/GAW No.143). 세계기상기구에서는 지상부근의 오존 또는 대기중의 오존전량에 대해서는 1950년대에 처음으로 전지구적차원의 오존관측이 실시되었으며, 1980년대초에 세계기상기구가 발족시킨 전지구오존관측시스템(Global Ozone Observing System, GO$_3$OS)에 의해 전세계적인 관측을 실시하고 있고 있다.

The high altitude scientific balloon has been used for decades in advanced aerospace countries such as United States, France, and Japan to carry out various research objectives. Since the initial cost for development and operation is enormous, it has been conducted by national research institutes. Recently, the advent of open source software/hardware ecosystems with low-cost yet high-performance have lowered barriers to enter into scientific balloon research and development. In this study, a zero pressure balloon prototype was designed considering the cost, usability, compatibility, and development period by using commercial off the shelf (COTS) items. In addition, the flight operation experience was accumulated through eight times of the flight tests, and operational reliability of the balloon system was verified. Finally, the foundation for the operation of the large zero pressure balloon was established.

The synoptic, thermodynamic, and dynamic characteristics of a heavy snowfall event that occurred in Seoul metropolitan area on 27 to 28 December 2010 was investigated. During this period there was a distinctive case that was identified as a polar low. We analyzed surface and upper level weather charts, snowfall amount, sea surface temperature, satellite imagery, sounding, and the National Center for Environmental Prediction global $1^{\circ}{\times}1^{\circ}$ reanalysis data. The polar low developed in an area where there was strong baroclinicity in the lower level aided by strong conditional instability due to 925 hPa warm air advection and 700 hPa cold air advection. The development mechanism of polar low is due, in part, to the tropopause folding, which advected stratospheric air increasing potential vorticity in mid-level and inducing cyclonic vorticity and convergence in low-level. Eventually clouds developed and there were snowfall total of 10 cm in Seoul metropolitan area and as much as 20 cm in southern parts of Korea. During the snowfall development, there was a $-45^{\circ}C$ cold core at 500 hPa and shortwave maintained $3-5^{\circ}$ separation with surface trough, which favored the development of polar low located in the warm sector and cyclonic advection area. The height of the dynamical tropopause lowered to 700 hPa during the peak development and increase in potential vorticity allowed strong vertical motion to occur. Overall, there was a close relationship between the development of snowfall and tropopause undulation. The heaviest snowfall occurred east of the tropopause folding where strong cyclonic vorticity, vertical motion, and moisture advection all coincided while the polar low was passing through the Korean peninsula.
