We investigated the characteristics of meteorological conditions related to the strong downslope wind over the leeward side of the Taebaek Mountains during the period 2005~2010. The days showing the strong wind exceeding $14ms^{-1}$ in Gangwon province were selected as study cases. A total of 15 days of strong wind were observed at Sokcho, Gangneung, Donghae, and Taebaek located over the Yeongdong region. Seven cases related to tropical cyclone (3 cases) and heavy snowfall (2 cases) and heavy rainfall (2 cases) over the Yeongdong region were excluded. To investigate the characteristics of the remaining 8 cases, we used synoptic weather chart, Sokcho radiosonde, Gangneung wind profiler and numerical model. The cases showed no precipitation (or ${\leq}1mm\;day^{-1}$). From the surface and upper level weather chart, we found the pressure distribution of southern high and northern low pattern over the Korean peninsula and warm ridge over the Yeongdong region. Inversion layer (or stable layer) and warm ridge with strong wind were located in about 1~3 km (925~700 hPa) over mountains. The Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System (RDAPS) indicated that warm core and temperature ridge with horizontal temperature gradient were $0.10{\sim}0.23^{\circ}C\;km^{-1}$ which were located on 850 hPa pressure level above mountaintop. These results were summarized as a forecasting guidance of downslope windstorm in the Yeongdong region.

This study investigated wind corridors for the entire Suwon-city area using a geographic information system and a computational fluid dynamics model. We conducted numerical simulations for 16 inflow wind directions using the average wind speeds measured at the Suwon automated synoptic observation system (ASOS) for recent ten years. We analyzed the westerly (dominant wind direction) and easterly cases (not dominant but strong wind speed) in detail and investigated the characteristics of a wind speed distribution averaged using the frequencies of 16 wind directions as weighting factors. The characteristics of the wind corridors in Suwon city can be summarized as; (1) In the northern part of Suwon, complicated flows were formed by the high mountainous terrain, and strong (weak) winds and updrafts (downdrafts) were simulated on the windward (leeward) mountain slope. (2) On the leeward mountain slope, a wind corridor was formed along a valley, and relatively strong airflow flowed into the residential area. (3) The strong winds were simulated in a wide and flat area in the west and south part of Suwon city. (4) Due to the friction and flow blocking by buildings, wind speeds decreased, and airflows became complicated in the downtown area. (5) Wind corridors in residential areas were formed along wide roads and areas with few obstacles, such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

연안도시의 경우 해양 배경농도의 영향과 내륙과 비교해 강한 풍속조건이 형성됨으로 오존농도의 일변화 폭이 적으며 야간에 농도상승 현상이 빈번히 나타난다. 또한 일반적으로 여름철 주로 발생하는 해풍에 의해 고농도를 경험하게 되는데, 이는 해풍역전으로 인한 연직혼합의 억제와 (Lu and Turco, 1994) 해풍전선의 이동 (McElroy and Smith, 1991), 해풍의 내륙침투 시 생기는 Fumigation 효과(Entwistle, et al., 1997; Zhang et al., 1998) 등으로 설명되어 진다. 아울러 해륙풍순환으로 생기는 오전의 대기정체현상은 오후의 오존의 광화학 생성과 축적에 기여하게 되며 (Liu et al., 1994), 해풍 발달 시에는 오존 및 전구물질이 내륙 수송되어 풍하측 지역에 고농도가 나타나게 된다(Zhang et al., 1998).

중국의 풍하측에 위치한 우리나라는 대기오염물질의 장거리 이동에 의하여 많은 영향을 받고 있다 (문길주 등, 1999). 특히 황해는 중국과 한반도에 의해 삼면이 막혀있는 바다로서, 오염물질의 이동배출이 낮아 오염문제의 해결이 어려운 지역이다. 본 연구에서는 황해의 대기오염물질 이동 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 황해상의 도서지역인 덕적도에서 15개월간 측정한 가스상 오염물질 및 기상자료를 분석하였다. 덕적도는 중국의 영향뿐 아니라 한반도의 영향도 받을 수 있는 지점에 위치해 있으므로, 대기오염 농도와 오염물질 배출원과의 관련성에 주목하여 대기오염물질의 국지 배출과 외부로부터의 유입 특성을 구분하고자 하였다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of wind speed and direction on building fires using GIS and a CFD model. We conducted numerical simulations for a fire event that occurred at an apartment in Ulsan on October 8, 2020. For realistic simulations, we used the profiles of wind speeds and directions and temperatures predicted by the local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS). First, using the realistic boundary conditions, we conducted two numerical simulations (a control run, CNTL, considered the building fire and the other assumed the same conditions as CNTL except for the building fire). Then, we conducted the additional four simulations with the same conditions as CNTL except for the inflow wind speeds and direction. When the ignition point was located on the windward of the building, strong updraft induced by the fire had a wide impact on the building roof and downwind region. The evacuation floor (15th floor) played a role to spread fire to the downwind wall of the building. The weaker the wind speed, the narrower fire spread around the ignition point, but the higher the flame above the building reaches. When the ignition point was located on the downwind wall of the building, the flame didn't spread to the upwind wall of the building. The results showed that wind speed and direction were important for the flow and temperature (or flame) distribution around a firing building.

Heavy snowfall events frequently occur in the Gangwon province, and the snowfall amount significantly varies in space due to the complex terrain and topographical modulation of precipitation. Understanding the spatial characteristics of heavy snowfall and its prediction is particularly challenging during snowfall events in the easterly winds. The easterly wind produces a significantly different atmospheric condition. Hence, it brings different precipitation characteristics. In this study, we have investigated the microphysical characteristics of snowfall in the windward and leeward sides of the Taebaek mountain range in the easterly condition. The two snowfall events are selected in the easterly, and the snow particles size distributions (SSD) are observed in the four sites (two windward and two leeward sites) by the PARSIVEL distrometers. We compared the characteristic parameters of SSDs that come from leeward sites to that of windward sites. The results show that SSDs of windward sites have a relatively wide distribution with many small snow particles compared to those of leeward sites. This characteristic is clearly shown by the larger characteristic number concentration and characteristic diameter in the windward sites. Snowfall rate and ice water content of windward also are larger than those of leeward sites. The results indicate that a new generation of snowfall particles is dominant in the windward sites which is likely due to the orographic lifting. In addition, the windward sites show heavy aggregation particles by nearby zero ground temperature that is likely driven by the wet and warm condition near the ocean.

황사는 중국의 발원지와 가까우면서 풍하측에 위치한 우리나라와 일본을 비롯한 동북아시아에 가장 큰 영향을 주고 있으므로 이 지역을 중심으로 황사에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 중국 건조지대의 기온 증가, 강수량 감소로 인한 사막화 현상과 삼림감소 등의 영향으로 황사현상의 발생빈도는 계속 증가하고 있으며, 특히 중국의 급속한 경제성장 및 산업화로 인해 배출된 다량의 오염물질이 황사와 섞여 함께 수송되므로 그 피해는 훨씬 심각하다. 현재 이러한 황사의 발생원인뿐만 아니라 수송 및 침적과정과 관련된 기상요소 및 종관기상학적 특성을 비교ㆍ분석하는 실질적인 연구방향과 이를 바탕으로 한 황사현상의 장거리수송모델 및 배출량 산정과 관련된 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다.

본 연구에서는 태풍 초기화된 수치모델과 AWS (Automatic Weather System) data를 이용하여 제주도를 통과하는 태풍들의 바람 강도 특성을 분석하였다. 태풍이 내습했을 때 제주도 전 지역에서 동시 관측을 하기에는 불가능하다. 따라서 중규모 수치 모델인 Advanced Research WRF v3.0.1을 사용하여 분석하였으며 더욱 정확한 태풍 모의를 위해 Kwon and Cheong (2009)에 의해 개발된 정교한 태풍 초기화 기법을 적용하였다. 태풍 초기화된 자료에 의해 모의된 결과는 The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) Tokyo의 예보 오차와 비교했을 때 더 향상된 결과를 보였으므로 태풍 초기화 기법의 사용은 본 연구에서 하고자하는 태풍들의 바람 강도 분석에 타당하다고 판단하였다. 그리고 모의된 결과는 그에 상응하는 AWS data와의 joint distribution (Moskaitis, 2008) 분석을 통해 비교되었다. 태풍 경로에 따른 제주도 지역의강 풍을 고려하기 위해 각각 제주도의 오른쪽과 왼쪽을 지나가는 2003년 6호 태풍 'SOUDELOR'와 2004년 7호 태풍 'MINDULLE'를 선정하였다. 또한, 모의 결과로부터 제주도 지역에 태풍이 내습했을 때 강풍의 상대적인 크기의 비교를 위해 모의된 태풍의 최대 풍속을 수치 모의로 얻은 10m 바람장의 모든 격자점에 나누어 정규화 하였다. 이를 시간에 대해 평균하여 태풍이 제주도 지역을 통과하는 전체시간에 대한 상대적인 강도 특성을 분석하였다. 수치 모의 결과와 관측 자료와의 joint distribution 분석 결과, 바람의 크기와 경향이 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 강한 풍속과 약한 풍속이 나타나는 지역은 제주도 지역의 주풍향과 지형의 영향에 크게 좌우되었다. 정규화된 바람은 산악의 정상에서 강풍이 관측되고 주 풍향에 대해 풍상측과 풍하측에서 비교적 낮은 풍속이 관측되는 결과를 보였다. 이는 Hoinka (1985)의 산악 위에서의 바람의 특성에 관한 연구에서 얻어진 결과와 유사하다. 서로 다른 경로로 통과하는 두 태풍의 모의 결과에서 제주도의 북서쪽 지역과 남동쪽 지역에서 상대적으로 약한 풍속이 관측되었다. 따라서 해당지역에서는 태풍에 동반되는 강풍의 피해를 적게 입을 것이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The optical properties of long-range transported Asian dust were studied by the satellite observations and Sun/sky radiometer measurements from the Aerosol Robotic Network(AERONET) in Northeast Asia. The movement of Asian dust from source regions to downwind areas was tracked by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument(OMI) derived aerosol product imagery. The optical properties of Asian dust were classified for geographical locations, which are source regions such as deserts area in Dunhuang and Inner Mongolia, downwind areas such as Yulin and Beijing, and long-range transported regions such as Korea(Anmyon and Gosan) and Japan(Noto). In general, relatively higher aerosol mass loadings with larger aerosol particles at desert regions were found. Aerosol Optical Depth(AOD) decreased significantly in downwind areas and long-range transported areas, which was accompanied by increased Angstrom exponents. This indicates the effects of aerosol mixing with various pollutants during transport of Asian dust plume on aerosol optical properties. Moreover, relatively high Single-Scattering Albedo(SSA) at 440 nm values ranging from 0.90 - 0.96 and increasing tendency of SSA with wavelength were observed at source region. The spectral dependence of SSA decreased during long-range transport.

This study aims to understand the patterns of spatial distribution of snowfall by Siberian High in the Honam region in Korea. In the Honam region, Siberian High induces snowfall dominantly. There is a huge amount of snowfall in the westward of the Noryung mountain ranges to the Wert coast in the Honam region affected by northwesterly wind directly from the Siberian High. The westward of the Noryung mountain ranges such as a heavy snowfall region has a various pattern of distribution of snowfall due to topography. The coast region has a large amount of snowfall by sea effect. And, snowfall amount is decreased from the coast to the inland plain. However, in front of mountain, snowfall is increase by reason of a forced ascending air to the mountain. In general the region where frequently appear a cumuliform cloud has a large amount of snowfall. A cumuliform cloud is frequent in the mountainous region in inland, the coast, and the inland plain in order Snowfall is intense in the coast and the mountainous region, and weak in the inland plain. In the mountainous region, a cumuliform cloud induced tv a forced ascending air by reason of topography generates snowfall mostly. This fact is the main difference with snowfall in the mountainous region and the coast region. In the result, in the Honam region, snowfall distribution and snowfall pattern are various, according to geographical climate factor such as sea and topography. The heavy snowfall region in the Honam region is divided into the coast region affected by sea effect and the mountainous region affected by topography effect.
