The Earth's ionosphere is an area where part of the upper atmosphere is ionized and exists in a plasma state that affects radio waves. It is a field that has been studied for a long time as it directly affects real life in relation to communications. Depending on the altitude, it is divided into D, E, and F layers depending on the main ions that make up the electron density. The density of the neutral atmosphere is very large compared to the electron density, so it should be described as plasma taking that effect into account. It is an area where influences from outside the ionosphere are directly reflected, starting from the sun and extending to the earth's surface, and is a field that involves complex and diverse areas of research. In this paper, we explain the process by which the Earth's upper atmosphere is ionized to form the ionosphere and introduce the characteristics of the ionosphere at low and mid-latitudes. In addition, we introduce the research that domestic researchers have participated in related to the ionosphere to date and hope that it will be used to promote exchange in the field of ionospheric research in the future.

In 2020, the solar and space environment division at the Korea Space Science Society surveyed the status of data archives in solar physics, magnetosphere, and ionosphere/upper atmosphere in Korea to promote broader utilization of the data and research collaboration. The survey includes ground- and satellite-based instruments and developing models by research institutes and universities in Korea. Based on the survey results, this study reports the status of the ground-based instruments, data products in the ionosphere and upper atmosphere, and documentation of them. The ground-based instruments operated by the Korea Polar Research Institute and Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute include ionosonde, Fabry-Perot interferometer in Arctic Dasan stations, Antarctic King Sejong/Jang Bogo stations, and an all-sky camera, VHF radar in Korea. We also provide information on total electron content and scintillation observations derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) station networks in Korea. All data are available via the webpage, FTP, or by request. Information on ionospheric data and models is available at http://ksss.or.kr. We hope that this report will increase data accessibility and encourage the research community to engage in the establishment of a new Space Science Data Ecosystem, which supports archiving, searching, analyzing, and sharing the data with diverse communities, including educators, industries, and the public as wells as the research scientist.

National Meteorological Satellite Center(NMSC) of Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) has launched to implement the application development to get prepared for the space weather operation since 2010. As a action of KMA's space weather work, NMSC constructed Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) application system for meteorology and space weather. We will introduce NMSC's space weather application system which derives regional TEC(Total Electron Content) in near real time using nation-wide GNSS network data. First, We constructed system for collecting GNSS data, which is currently collecting about 80 stations operated by agencies like NGII(National Geographic Information Institute), Central Office of DGPS(Differential GPS), and KASI(Korea Astronomy and Space Science) including KMA's own data of 2 stations. In order to retreive regional TEC over Korean peninsular, we build up the automatic processes running every 1-hour. In these processes, firstly, GNSS data of every stations with 24 hours time window are processed to derive DCBs(Differential Code Biases) of each GNSS station and TEC values on every ionosphere piercing point(IPP). Then we made gridded regional TEC map with resolution of 0.25 degree from 31N, 121E to 41N, 135E by combination of all station results within 30 minutes window with assumption that TEC of a given point during a given 30 minutes window would have a constant value. The grid points without TEC value are interpolated using Barnes objective analysis. We presentour regional TEC maps, which can describe better on the status of ionosphere over Korean peninsular compared to IGS TEC maps.

지자기 폭풍이 발생할 동안 중위도 전리권 전자밀도 변화의 가장 큰 특징은 양전리권 폭풍 또는 음전리권 폭풍이다. 양전리층 폭풍은 정상적인 경우보다 전자밀도가 증가하는 것으로 정의되는데 적도방향 중성바람에 의한 극지방 전자밀도의 중위도로의 이동으로 설명된다. 음전리권 폭풍은 F2 층 고도의 O/N2 증가에 의한 전자소멸로 전자밀도가 낮아지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 우리는 지상 GPS 총전자량 자료와 이를 이용한 전리권 토모그래피 모델 결과, 그리고 이온존데 관측에 나타난 한반도 상공의 전리층 폭풍 양상을 제시하고 토의할 것이다.

The super-geomagnetic storms called 2003 Halloween event globally occurred during the period of 29 through 31 which are the following days when the solar flares of X18 class exploded on 28 October 2003. The S4 index from GPS signal strength and the peak electron density ($NmF_2$) from GPS tomography method are analyzed according to the date. The occurrences of the cycle slip and scintillation in the GPS signals are 1,094 and 1,387 on 28 and 29 October, respectively and these values are higher than 604 and 897 on 30 and 31 October. These mean the ionospheric disturbances are not always generated by the period of geomagnetic storm. Therefore, GPS S4 index is useful to monitor the ionospheric disturbances. Behaviors of ionospheric electron density estimated from GPS tomography method are analyzed with the date. At UT = 18 hr, the maximum $NmF_2$ is shown on 28 October. It agrees with $NmF_2$ variation measured from Anyang ionosonde, and the GPS signal are better condition on 30 and 31 October than 28 October. In conclusion, GPS signal condition is relation with geomagnetic activities, and depend upon the variation of the electron density. We will study the long-term data to examine the relationship between the GPS signal quality and the electron density as the further works.

본 연구에서는 산성전리수와 환원전리수의 미생물 제어력을 정량적으로 비교하였다. 산성전리수와 환원전리수에 병원성 미생물을 각각 시간별로 노출시킨 결과, 산성 전리수와 환원전리수 모두 미생물을 제어 할 수 있다. 특히 산성 전리수는 각종 병원성 미생물에 대하여 순간적으로 미생물을 제어하는 강력한 살균효과를 보여주었다. 이에 비해 환원전리수는 산성전리수의 강력한 미생물 제어력에는 미치지 못하기는 하지만, 시판되는 무기 항균제보다는 우수하거나 비슷한 미생물 제어력을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 산성전리수가 환경위생관련 미생물군의 제어에 미치는 효과를 살펴보았다 미생물의 직접적인 전파매개체인 사람 손을 대상으로 하여 산성전리수의 미생물 제어력을 비누와 알콜의 미생물 제어력과 비교하였다. 손을 산성전리수로 세정한 후 잔존 미생물의 수를 측정하였을 때 비누로 세척했을 때 보다 훨씬 탁월한 미생물 제어력을 보여주었다. 이때 산성전리수에 의한 손의 미생물 제어력은 소독용 알콜에 의한 미생물 제어력과 거의 비슷하였다. 산성전리수를 사용하여 걸레를 세척한 경우에도 락스 희석액으로 걸레를 세척한 것과 유사한 완벽한 미생물 제어력을 보여주었다. 작업장의 공중낙하균에 대한 산성전리수의 미생물제어력을 조사했을 때도 산성전리수는 강력한 미생물 제어력을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 산성전리수가 환경위생미생물군에 대한 강력한 제어력을 가지고 있음을 보여줄 뿐만 아니라 효과적인 환경위생 세정제로 개발될 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 전기영동 겔에 대한 음극전리수의 침투력과 녹차성분에 대한 음극전리수의 용해력을 일반 물과 서로 비교하였다. 음극전리수와 증류수로 제조한 CBB-R 염색시약으로 polyacrylamide 겔 상에서 단백질을 다양한 시간 동안 염색한 후 염색강도를 서로 비교하였다. 그 결과 음극전리수로 제조한 CBB-R 염색시약은 증류수로 제조한 CBB-R 염색시약보다 같은 반응 시간 동안에 먼저 단백질을 강하게 염색시켰다. 뿐만 아니라 $25^{\circ}C$에서 음극전리수는 일반 물에 비하여 녹차성분에 대해 극히 탁월한 용해력을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 산성전리수와 환원전리수가 생체물질인 DNA와 단백질의 분해에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 산성전리수에서 DNA는 반응 1일 후 약 $40\%$가 분해되었고 1주일 후에는 거의 완전히 분해되었다. 이에 비해 환원전리수에서 DNA는 총 10일간의 반응시간동안 거의 분해가 되지 않았다. 산성전리수에 크기가 약 40 kDa인 효소단백질을 반응시켰을 때 반응시점부터 효소단백질이 분해되기 시작하여 26 kDa와 35 kDa의 단백질 조각이 잘라져 나왔다. 증류수에 반응시킨 효소단백질도 산성전리수에서와 동일한 크기의 단백질 조각을 생성하면서 분해되었다. 산성전리수와 증류수에 의한 단백질의 분해는 $4^{\circ}C$ 보다 $25^{\circ}C$에서 더 심화되었다.

Antioxidation effect of reduced electrolyzed water, which has been known as antiaging agent has been investigated with very simple method. Antioxidation effect of the reaction of linoleic acid with oxygen has been measured and analyzed. Alkaline reduced electrolyzed waters are better effect, rather acidic oxidized electrolyzed waters accelerates oxidation reaction.
