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.

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 current study attempted to review the standards of retransmisison consent and arbitration for the terrestrial broadcasting signal. The standards are based upon the principles encouraged by the MIAC(Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications). It has been criticized that the standards of judgement for the retransimission consent and arbitration are ambiguous and arbitrary in Japan. In 2009, MIAC announced five decisions regarding the retransmission of over-the-air. The result of the current study found that the regulations of compulsory over-the-air signal retransmission have been sustained until now. The retransmission policy of the Japan government based upon three principles; localism, proper cause and copyright act. The judgment is dependent on the intrepretation of MIAC's standard about these three principles.

This paper presents a performance analysis of the GPS(Global Positioning System) receiver on board in LEO satellites, based on the comparison of its in-orbit performances and corresponding ground test results. An extensive ground tests on the subject GPS receiver has been performed in diverse conditions under the right frame of ground test environments and the analysis of in-orbit performances has also been performed with the huge amount of accumulated GPS data which has been in operation for 6 years since its launch on 2006. For this analysis, we chose three sets of in-orbit data; the data during the early mission period, the data at the 3-year mission completion time, and the most recent in-orbit data. As the performance measures, we selected the position and time synchronization accuracy, and the comparative analysis shows the concurrency between the in-orbit performances and the ground test results with in these performance measures, verifying the validity of the ground test. It is expected that the test configuration and analysis method presented in this paper can be applied to developing and verifying the future Koreanized satellite GPS receivers.

The effect of ozone and surface temperature on the ozone band at $9.7{\mu}m$ has been investigated from radiative transfer theory together with observations in order to derive empirical methods for remotely sensing ground-ozone concentration. Simultaneous observations of satellite (MODIS Aqua; ECT 13:30) and ground-ozone at 79 stations have been used over the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA; 125.7-127.2 E, 37.2-37.7 N) during four ozone-warning days in the year 2003. Cloud effect on the band in the methods was filtered out based on synoptic observations. Upwelling radiance values at $9.6{\mu}m$ which have been estimated at the given ozone concentration of 327-391 DU depend on surface temperature (Ts) showing $5.52\~5.78Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}\;at\;Ts = 290 K,\;and\;9.00\~9.57Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}$ Ts = 325K. Thus, the partitioned contributions of ozone and temperature to intensity of ozone absorption band are $0.26Wm^{-1}sr^{-1}/64\;DU\;and\;0.31 Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}/35K$, respectively. Here the intensity which has been used to remotely detect ground-ozone concentration from infrared satellite measurement is defined as the difference in brightness temperature between $11{\mu} m\;and\;9.7{\mu}m (i.e.,\; T_{11-9.7})$. The methods in this study have been applied to estimate ground-ozone from MODIS data in cases that there are significant correlations between the band intensity and ground-ozone. The values of estimated ozone significantly correlate (0.49-0.63) with ground observations at a significance level of $1\%$. For the improved methods, further study may be required to use tropospheric ozone rather than ground-ozone, considering the variation stratospheric ozone.

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.

국내 지상파 방송 3사는 세계최초로 2017년에 지상파 UHD 본방송 서비스를 시작하였다. 지상파 UHD 방송은 ATSC 3.0 표준 기반으로 단일주파수로 방송망을 구축할 수 있으므로 각 송신소별 커버리지 중첩지역에서 방송망을 효율적으로 설계하는 것이 필요하다. 또한, ATSC 3.0 송신 장비를 실 방송환경에서 운용하기 위해서는 H/S 와 같은 안정적인 형태로 장비가 구축되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 2017년 수도권 UHDTV 본방송이 진행된 이후, KBS에 구축한 수도권 UHD-TVR 구축 과정과 수도권 UHDTV 방송망 분석을 위한 필드테스트 결과에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The backup site operation of the Image Data Acquisition and Control System (IDACS) for Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is discussed in terms of the ground station configuration, image data processing, and the characteristics of backup activities for both the meteorological image data and the ocean image data. The well-performed backup operation of the COMS IDACS is also confirmed with the first three years normal operation results from April, 2011 to March, 2014. The operation results are analyzed through statistical approach to provide the achieved operational performance of the image data reception, preprocessing, and broadcast.

인구 과밀화 및 급격한 도시 팽창은 지상공간에서 거주하는 인간 삶의 질을 위협하고 있다. 따라서 지상공간의 개발을 억제하여 환경을 보호하고 도시 공간 이용의 효율성을 최대화하기 위해 지하 공간을 개발하고자 하는 움직임이 활발하다. 자연환경으로부터 격리된 구조인 지하공간은 지상공간에 비해 실내 공기 질을 쾌적한 상태로 유지하기 어려운 밀폐된 환경이므로 오랜 시간동안 상주하는 거주자 및 한시적 이용자들의 건강에 영향을 미치는 온도, 습도, $CO_2$, 먼지 등의 환경을 제어하기 위한 기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지하공간의 쾌적도 향상을 위해 온 습도 및 $CO_2$, 먼지센서를 이용한 통합 센서를 제작하여 현재 지하공간의 환경정보를 실시간 모니터링하고 실내공간의 쾌적 지표를 기반으로 환풍기, 송풍기 등의 디바이스를 제어하기 위한 USN 기반의 환경제어시스템을 구현한다. 제안한 시스템을 통해 지하공간의 환경을 개선할 뿐만 아니라 고가의 계측 장비로 인한 비용 절감 및 이동성과 확장성 등의 부가적인 효과를 기대한다.
