중간 및 하부 대규권의 열적 상태에 대한 결과들의 상대적인 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 대기대순환 모델의 재분석(1980-93년) 그리고 세 종류의 위성관측 자료들(1980-97년)을 태평양, 한반도 부근에 대한 시.공간 분석으로 상호 비교하였다. 중간 대류권 온도를 반영하는 위성자료는 본 연구에서 유도된 Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) 채널2 직하점 밝기온도(MSU2)와 Spencer and Christy(1992a)가 전체 주사자료를 사용하여 유도된 채널2 밝기 온도(SC2)이고, 하부 대류권 온도를 반영하는 위성자료는 Spencer and Christy(1992a)가 유도한 것이다(SC2R). 또한, 모델 자료는 ECMWF 재분석 온도이며, 위성관측 자료와의 비교를 위하여 재구성되었다. 한편, 각 위.경도 격자에서 위성관측과 모델 재분석의 월평균 값들의 상관도 전구적으로 조사하였다. 세 종류의 관측 자료들 간의 상관은 중.고위도에서 높았으나(r$\geq$0.9), 저위도 그리고 대류가 활발한 열대 서태평양 및 콩고강 부근에서 낮았다(r~0.65). 특히 SC2R에 대한 다른 자료의 상관이 상대적으로 낮았다. 이는 하부 대류권의 열적 상태를 반영하는 SC2R이 수적 및 지표방출의 영향으로 잡음을 크게 내포하기 때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 관측들과 모델 온도에 대한 월평균과 아노말리 값의 분석에서 시.공간 변동은 대체로 유사하였다. 관측 및 모델 자료는 열대 태평양 이외의 지역에 대한 월평균 값 모드1에서 연주기를 보였으나, 열대 태평양의 경우 모드2에서 보였다. 열대 태평양의 MSU2 모드1은 Walker 순환에 의한 동.서 대비를 보인 반면, 다른 위성관측과 모델 자료에서는 이러한 형태가 현저하지 않았다. 이 지역의 아노말리 값 모드2에서 위성관측들은 엘리뇨 기간에 적도를 중심으로 열대 동태평양 부근에서 아령모양의 대칭 형태를 보였으나 모델 결과에서는 이러한 특징이 약하였다. 관측과 모델 모두는 열대 태평양에 대한 아노말리 값의 모드 1,2에서 엘니뇨와 라니냐에 의한 경년변동을 뚜렷하게 보였다.

Intercomparisons between four kinds of data have been done to estimate the accuracy of satellite observations and model reanalysis for middle and lower tropospheric thermal state over regional oceans. The data include the Microwave Sounding Units (MSU) Channel 2 (Ch2) brightness temperatures of NOAA satellites and the vertically weighted corresponding temperature of ECMWF GCM (1980-93). The satellite data for midtropospheric temperatures are MSU2 (1980-98) in nadir direction and SC2 (1980-97) in multiple scans, and for lower tropospheric temperature SC2R (1980-97). MSU2 was derived in this study while SC2 and SC2R were described in Spencer and Christy (1992a, 1992b). Temporal correlations between the above data were high (r${\ge}$0.90) in the middle and high latitudes, but low(r${\sim}$0.65) over the low latitude and more convective regions. Their values with SC2R which included the noises due to hydrometeors and surface emission were conspicuously low. The reanalysis shows higher correlation with SC2 than with MSU2 partially because of the hydrometeors screening. SC2R in monthly climatological anomalies was more sensitive to surface thermal condition in northern hemisphere than MSU2 or SC2. The first EOF mode for the monthly mean data of MSU and ECMWF shows annual cycle over most regions except the tropics. The mode in MSU2 over the Pacific suggests the east-west dipole due to the Walker circulation, but this tendency is not clear in other data. In the first and second modes for the Ch2 anomalies over most regions, the MSU and ECMWF data commonly indicate interannual variability due to El Ni${\tilde{n}$o and La Ni${\tilde{n}$a. The substantial disagreement between observations and model reanalysis occurs over the equatorial upwelling region of the western Pacific, suggesting uncertainties in the model parameterization of atmosphere-ocean interaction.

In order to investigate interannual variation of total ozone and reflectivity over the globe, Nimbus-7/TOMS data were used on the monthly mean and its anomaly for the period of 1979-92. This study also examined MSU channel 4(Ch4; lower-stratosphere) brightness temperature data and two model reanalyses of NCEP and GEOS to compare the ozone variation with atmospheric thermal condition. In addition, the MSU channel 1(Ch1 ; lower-troposphere) brightness temperature was used to compare with the reflectivity. The ozone showed strong annual cycle with downward trend(-6.3${\pm}$0.6 DU/decade) over the globe, and more distinct response to volcanic eruption than El Ni${\tilde{n}$o. The relationship between total ozone and MSU Ch4 observation, and between the ozone and model reanalyses of lower stratosphere temperature showed positive correlation(0.2-0.7) during the period of 1980-92. Reflectivity increased interannually by 0.2${\pm}$0.06%/decade over the globe during the above period and reflected El Ni${\tilde{n}$o(1982-83, 1991-92) well. Its variability in annual cycle was remarkably smaller in tropics than in higher latitudes. This is inferred due to cloud suppression and tropical upwelling regions. Reflectivity correlated negatively(-0.9) to the Ch1 temperature over the globe, but positively(0.2) over tropical ocean. The positive value over the ocean results from the effect of microwave emissivity which increases the Ch1 temperature with enhanced hydrometeor activity. Significant correlations between total ozone and the Ch4 temperature, and between reflectivity and the Ch1 Suggest that the TOMS data may use valuably to better understand the feedback mechanism of climate change.

The correlation and Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analyses over the globe have been applied to intercompare lower-stratospheric (${\sim}$70hPa) temperature obtained from satellite data and two model reanalyses. The data is the19 years (1980-98) Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channel 4 (Ch4) brightness temperature, and the reanalyses are GCM (NCEP, 1980-97; GEOS, 1981-94) outputs. In MSU monthly climatological anomaly, the temperature substantially decreases by ${\sim}$21k in winter over southern polar regions, and its annual cycle over tropics is weak. In October the temperature and total ozone over the area south of Australia remarkably increase together. High correlations (r${\ge}$0.95) between MSU and reanalyses occur in most global areas, but they are lower (r${\sim}$O.75) over the 20-3ON latitudes, northern America and southern Andes mountains. The first mode of MSU and reanalyses for monthly-mean Ch4 temperature shows annual cycle, and the lower-stratospheric warming due to volcanic eruptions. The analyses near the Korean peninsula show that lower-stratospheric temperature, out of phase with that for troposphere, increases in winter and decreases in summer. In the first mode for anomaly over the tropical Pacific, MSU and reanalyses indicate lower-stratospheric warming due to volcanic eruptions. In the second mode MSU and GEOS present Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) while NCEP, El Ni${\tilde{n}}$o. Volcanic eruption and QBO have more impact on lower-stratospheric thermal state than El Ni${\tilde{n}}$o. The EOF over the tropical Atlantic is similar to that over the Pacific, except a negligible effect of El Ni${\tilde{n}}$o. This study suggests that intercomparison of satellite data with model reanalyses may estimate relative accuracy of both data.

In order to examine the relative accuracy of satellite observations and model reanalyses about lower stratospheric temperature trends, two satellite-observed Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channel 4 (Ch 4) brightness temperature data and two GCM (ECMWF and GEOS) reanalyses during 1981${\sim}$1993 have been intercompared with the regression analysis of time series. The satellite data for the period of 1980${\sim}$1999 are MSU4 at nadir direction and SC4 at multiple scans, respectively, derived in this study and Spencer and Christy (1993). The MSU4 temperature over the globe during the above period shows the cooling trend of -0.35 K/decade, and the cooling over the global ocean is 1.2 times as much as that over the land. Lower stratospheric temperatures during the common period (1981${\sim}$1993) globally show the cooling in MSU4 (-0.14 K/decade), SC4 (-0.42 K/decade) and GEOS (-0.15 K/decade) which have strong annual cycles. However, ECMWF shows a little warming and weak annual cycle. The 95% confidence intervals of the lower stratospheric temperature trends are greater than those of midtropospheric (channel 2) trends, indicating less confidence in Ch 4. The lapse rate in the trend between the above two atmospheric layers is largest over the northern hemispheric land. MSU4 has low correlation with ECMWF over the globe, and high value with GEOS near the Korean peninsula. Lower correlations (r < 0.6) between MSU4 and SC4 (or ECMWF) occur over $30^{\circ}$N latitude belt, where subtropical jet stream passes. Temporal correlation among them over the globe is generally high (r > 0.6). Four kinds of lower stratospheric temperature data near the Korean peninsula commonly show cooling trends, of which the SC4 values (-0.82 K/decade) is the largest.

스발바드 서측에 위치하는 스피츠버겐 하부의 암석권맨틀의 분화시기를 규명하기 위하여, 두 개의 독립적인 방사성동위원소 시스템인 Lu-Hf과 Re-Os 시스템을 스피넬 페리도타이트(spinel peridotite)에 활용하였다. 전암에 대한 Re-Os 계통(Re-Os 에러크론, 알루미노크론, Re-결핍연대 등)은 연구지역의 페리도타이트가 대류하는 맨틀로부터 고기원생대/후기시생대에 분리되었음을 지시한다. 흥미롭게도 이런 연대는 페리도타이트내 단사휘석 결정들에 대하여 얻어진 Lu-Hf 에러크론 연대와 일치한다. 또한 시료 내에 지구화학적으로 기록된 현무암질 액의 결핍정도 역시 계통적으로 위의 연대를 지지한다. 위 연대는 스피츠버겐 서측부에 보고된 가장 오래된 지각의 연대와 일치한다. 따라서 연구지역의 암석권맨틀이 연약권으로부터 분리된 것은 접촉하고 있는 지각과 동시기적으로 이루어진 사건임을 알 수 있다. 연구지역은 팔레오세 이래로 복잡한 지구조적 응력장 변화(압축에서 신장환경으로의 변화)를 겪었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지각과 커플링된 암석권맨틀이 현존한다는 것은 연구지역내 응력장변화가 대규모의 암석권 디라미네이션(delamination)을 유발하지는 않았다는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 북극권의 화산활동을 설명하기 위하여 북극권 상부맨틀에 존재한다고 알려진 듀팔(DUPAL) 같은 부화된 물질의 성인으로 일부의 연구자들이 주장하여 온 디라미네이션된 암석권맨틀의 존재는 설득력이 없다고 판단된다.

The data of satellite-observed Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channel 1 (Ch1) brightness temperature and General Circulation Model (GCM) reanalyses over the globe have been used to investigate low tropospheric hydrometeors and microwave surface emissivity during the period from January 1981 to December 1993. The average of GCM Ch1 temperature has been reconstructed from three kinds of reanalyses, based on the MSU weighting function. Since the GCM temperature mainly corresponds to the thermal state of the lower troposphere without the difference in the emissivity between ocean and land, it is higher in summer than in other seasons over the regions. The MSU temperature over the ocean shows its maximum at the ITCZ and the SPCZ due to hydrometeors. Over high latitude ocean, the temperature is enhanced because of sea ice emissivity, while it is reduced over the land. The seasonal displacement of the ITCZ and the SPCZ systematically appeared in the difference of Ch1 temperature between the GCM and the MSU. The difference values decrease in the regions of the ITCZ, the SPCZ, and the sea ice because of the increase of the MSU temperature. According to the local minima of the values, the ITCZ moves norhward to 9 N in fall, and the SPCZ moves southward to 12 S in boreal fall and winter. The sea ice in the northern hemisphere is extended southward to 53 N in winter, while the ice in the southern hemisphere, northward to 58 S in boreal summer. We also have discussed the separated contribution from hydrometeors and surface emissivity to the MSU Ch1 temperature, utilizing radiative transfer theory. The increase of 4-6K in the temperature over the ITCZ is inferred to result from hydrometeors of 1-1.5mm/day, and furthermore the increase of 10-30K over the high latitude ocean, ice emissivity of 0.6-0.9.

This paper analyzed the characteristics of daily ozone variations over Kangreung and Wonju. It was found that the diurnal cycle of ozone over Wonju has a primary ozone peak in the afternoon and a minimum around sunrise, which is a typical diurnal ozone cycle observable in the urban area. However, the cycle over Kangreung shows a primary peak in the afternoon and secondary peak around 3 a.m. The amounts of ozone in the secondary peak is occasionally higher than that in the primary peak. This nocturnal ozone peak is frequently observed year-round, and the highest frequency and extent are observed in spring. The possible cause of this nocturnal ozone increase was investigated using meteorological parameters and the HYSPLIT trajectory model. It was found that the nocturnal ozone peak is highly correlated with strong wind speed, which has led to positive temperature anomaly. The trajectory model revealed that when the secondary peak occurred, the air was originated from the west and a sinking motion subsequently followed. These findings suggested that when the westerly wind is strongest in spring, the polluted airs from urban areas are transported to the upper boundary layer over Kangreung area. In the case of strong wind during the night, nocturnal ozone peaks were produced by active vertical mixing between lower boundary and upper boundary layers.
