This study compared the sea surface wind pattern between model results from KMA operational model (RDAPS) and observational results from QuikSCAT in the 2005-2006 year. The mean spatial distributions of sea surface wind show the prominent seasonal patterns of summer and winter season adjacent to Korean Peninsular. The statistical analysis also shows well seasonal variation of sea surface wind patterns between model and observation results. The BIAS value represents less than -0.5 m/s and -1 m/s in summer and winter seasons, respectively. The spatially averaged correlation coefficient shows larger than 0.7 and 0.8 in summer and winter seasons, respectively. The correlation coefficient of winter season shows higher value than that of summer season in the comparison between model and observation. This results show that the RDAPS model simulate well strong sea surface wind in winter season rather than weak sea surface wind in summer season.

When the typhoons are passing over the ocean, the ocean environment has both physical and biological impacts on the East, South sea and Yellow sea of Korea. As a result of typhoon path, vertical mixing and upwelling injured colder subsurface water, and leaded to phytoplankton blooming along the typhoons. The ocean environment before and after a typhoon played an important role in the biological effect of sea surface. Although the magnitude of sea surface temperature (SST) gets cooler because of typhoon path, other physical and biophysical responses are quite different such as chlorophyll, K490 and SST. The purpose of this study is to compare with the typhoon path that influenced the Korean Peninsula and ocean environment parameters which were observed by ocean color remotely-sensed data. The MODIS data were used to assess the parameters of ocean environments such as K490 and chlorophyll data from 2002 to 2005. Mean chlorophyll from MODIS data increased by about 1-4% in the East sea after the typhoon. Mean concentration of MODIS chlorophyll in the post-typhoon period increased along the typhoon passage. However, Jeju coastal area has different patterns from those of the East sea.

The estimation of the extreme sea level is necessary in the design of offshore or coastal structures. In this paper, the storm surge data calculated numerically at 52 harbors around the Korean Peninsula are analyzed by using annual maximum series(AMS), peaks over threshold(POT) and empirical simulation technique(EST). The maximum likelihood method was used to estimate the parameters in both AMS and POT models. The Generalized Pareto distribution was used and Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit tests were performed with the acceptable significance level 5%. The extreme sea levels were also evaluated by EST including tide effect, showing similar results as given by Jeong et al.(2008).

기상청은 2008년 현재 전국에 107개의 디지털 지진관측망을 운영하고 있다. 또한 지진관측 유관기관인 한국지질자원연구원, 한국원자력안전기술원, 한전전력연구원에서 각 기관의 목적에 맞게 지진관측소를 운영하고 있으며, 이들 지진관측자료의 공유를 목적으로 실시간으로 통합하는 통합지진과측망(KISS)을 2000년에 구축하여 지진분석에 쓰이고 있다. 한반도의 지진발생 현황은 1978년부터 2007년까지 776회로 약 26회/년 정도가 발생하였다. 최근 중국의 쓰촨성과 일본 이와테 지진으로 지진 및 지진예지에 대한 국민적 관심이 대두되고 있다. 한반도에서도 큰 규모의 지진이 발생할 가능성에 대비해 기상청에서는 지진관측망과 지진예지 목적의 지구물리관측망을 구축 중에 있다. 지구물리관측망은 INTERMAGNET에서 등록할 수 있는 수준의 관측소를 목표로 인위적인 자기장의 교란이 적은 지질학적인 요소들을 고려한 후보지 선정을 위하여 지구자기업무에 관한 기획연구(서만철 2007)를 수행 하였다. 그 결과 국가 중심 지구자기관측소의 위치는 충남 공주시와 청양군 사이에 있는 칠갑산 지역이 가장 좋은 후보지라고 제안하여 청양지역을 주변으로 국유림 및 군유지를 조사하여 충남 청양군 장평면 화산리 산 36-2번지에 후보지를 선정하여 최적의 입지 조건을 검증하기 위해 인천교육대학교의 이휘순 교수 MT탐사를 수행 주변의 배경잡음을 측정하여 양호한 조건을 갖춘 것으로 확인되었다. 지구자기관측소에는 Fluxgate Magnetometer 1대, Total field Magnetometer 1대, Theodolite 1대, SP(Self Potential) Monitoring system 1대와 장비들을 보호 할 수 있는 관측소가 설치될 예정이다

We report Polygonum plebeium R.Br. (Polygonaceae) as an unrecorded species from the Geumgang River, Buyeo-gun; Galmae-dong, Guri-si; the Chungju Reservoir, Jecheon-si; the Daecheong Reservoir, Okcheon-gun; and the Daecheong Reservoir, Daejeon, in Korea. It is distinguished from P. aviculare by pedicels that articulate in the middle and by its smooth and shiny achenes. The new Korean name, 'Ae-Gi-Ma-Di-Pul', is given considering the small-sized plant. In this study, a description and illustrations of the species and photos of the habitat are provided.

SLA and SST is high in summer and fall, it is low in spring and winter. The clearly annual period shows through the power spectrum density. A semi-annual period and seasonal period appeared, In. At sea surface variation of satellite data(Mean Sea Level Anomaly) and in-situ data, coefficient-correlation show 0.323 at Mukho which is located in the coastal. Chujado and Ulleungdo is a 0.685 and 0.780, retentively. A coefficient-correlation of SST show higher than sea surface variation as Mukho-0.920, Chujado-0.894 and Ulleungdo-0.815. A comparison between SST and MSLA show 0.77, SST appeared faster about 1 to 3 months than MSLA.

In June 2010, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), the world's first ocean color observation satellite will be launched. GOCI is planned for use in real-time monitoring of the ocean environment around Korean Peninsula by daily analysis of ocean environment measurements of chlorophyll concentration, dissolved organic matter, and suspended sediments taken eight times per day for seven years. GOCI primary data will support a fishery information service and red tide forecasting, and ocean climate change research. In this paper, the development background of GOCI, user requirements, GOCI architecture, and the GOCI on-orbit operational concept are explained.

We presents a design of 3U cubesat MIMAN (Monochrome imaging for monitoring aerosol by nano-satellite) for aerosol monitoring mission with high spatial resolution. The main objective of MIMAN mission is to take images of aerosols around Korea and to provide auxiliary data for GK 2B cloud masking. For this mission, we derived mission requirements and constraints for the MIMAN mission. We designed the mission architecture and concept of operations. To reduce risk factors in space operation, we considered the safety of the communication. In every operation modes, UHF communication is available so that the cubesat can operate based on the ground commands. So, we can handle every problem at the ground station during mission operations. Based on the mission and concept of operations, we confirmed that the system design satisfied the system requirements. We designed the system interface considering data flow of each hardware, and evaluated the safety of the system with system budget analysis.

This paper presents the orbital control for positioning micro synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites for all-weather monitoring around the Korean Peninsula. In Small SAR technology experimental project (S-STEP) developed in Korea, multiple satellites are placed at equal intervals in multiple orbital planes to secure an average revisit period for the region around the Korean Peninsula. Satellites entering the same orbital plane use ion thrusters to control their orbits and the separation velocity from the launch vehicle to distribute them evenly across the orbit. For an orbital that places the satellites equally spaced in the same orbital plane, the shape of the satellite constellation is formed by adjusting the difference in drift rates between the satellites. This paper presents, different types of satellite constellations, and the results of satellite constellation placement according to launch strategies are presented. In addition, a method and limitations in shortening the duration of orbital deployment are presented.

본 논문에서는 Tree-ring width 지표자료, 태양흑점수, 남방진동지수(SOI) 및 지구온도 아노말리 자료와의 비교를 통하여 서울지점 측우기 강우량 자료의 정확도를 가늠해 보았다. 그리고 한반도 인근지역의 Tree-ring width 지표자료와의 비교를 통하여 과거 동북아시아 기후변화 상관성과 변화특성을 파악해 보았다. 분석 결과 측우기 강우량 자료는 다른 비교분석 대상 자료들과 경향성과 변화심도가 매우 잘 일치하고 있어 상당한 신뢰성을 가지고 있음이 확인되었다. 그리고 한반도 주변 6개 지점의 Tree-ring width 지표자료와의 비교분석결과, 장기적으로 동북아시아 기후는 시공간적으로 밀접한 상관을 가지고 변화하고 있으며 그 변화에는 장주기적인 재현성이 존재한다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 1960년 이후의 기후변화 특성은 통계적인 거동특성이나 변화폭이 과거의 재현사상의 한계를 넘지는 않으나 과거와는 다른 경향성과 불규칙성을 보여주고 있으며 재현주기도 짧아지고 있어 과거와는 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 과거자료에 근거한 본 연구의 결과는 동북아시아 기후변화 장기 예측에 있어 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
