To address the increase of weather hazards and the emergence of new types of such hazards, an optimization technique for three-dimensional (3D) representation of meteorological facts and atmospheric information was examined in this study as a novel method for weather analysis. The proposed system is termed as "meteorological and air quality information visualization engine" (MAIVE), and it can support several file formats and can implement high-resolution 3D terrain by employing a 30 m resolution digital elevation model. In this study, latest 3D representation techniques such as wind vector fields, contour maps, stream vector, stream line flow along the wind field and 3D volume rendering were applied. Implementation of the examples demonstrates that the results of numerical modeling are well reflected, and new representation techniques can facilitate the observation of meteorological factors and atmospheric information from different perspectives.

Objectives: The goal was to model and quantify the atmospheric concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as the result of the Hebei Spirit oil spill, and to predict whether the exposure levels were abnormally high or not. Methods: We developed a model for calculating the airborne concentration of VOCs that are produced in an oil spill accident. The model was applied to a practical situation, namely the Hebei Spirit oil spill. The accuracy of the model was verified by comparing the results with previous observation data. The concentrations were compared with the currently used air quality standards. Results: Evaporation was found to be 10- to 1,000-fold higher than the emissions produced from a surrounding industrial complex. The modeled concentrations for benzene failed to meet current labor environmental standards, and the concentration of benzene, toluene, orthometa- para-xylene were higher than the values specified by air quality standards and guideline values on the ocean. The concentrations of total VOCs were much higher than indoor environmental criteria for the entire Taean area for a few days. Conclusions: The extent of airborne exposure was clearly not the same as that for normal conditions.

다양한 대기질 관측 자료는 우리나라의 대기 오염이 지속적으로 개선되고 있음을 보여 준다. 하지만 일반 시민들은 최근 대기 오염 상태가 심각하며, 이로 인한 경제적 부담이 증가하였다고 인식한다. 본 연구는 이러한 인지와 관측된 자료의 차이 그리고 의료 비용 및 소비 지출에 대한 경제학적 쟁점을 세 가지로 분석하였다. 첫째, 검색량 분석과 시군구 단위 대기 오염 물질 농도 변화의 비교 분석을 통해 인지와 관측된 자료의 불일치를 확인하였다. 둘째, 의료경제모형을 이용하여 대기 오염과 의료비 지출의 이론 모형을 도출하고, 계량경제모형을 통해 대기 오염의 개선에 따른 의료 비용 감소를 실증하였다. 셋째, 소비 지출 분석을 통해 우리나라의 대기 오염에 의한 경제적 부담 증가는 소비 지출 항목에 의존하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 우리나라 대기 오염의 사회경제적 영향을 분석 시, 분석항목에 따른 과대추정의 가능성과 대기 오염의 개선과 관련한 역해석의 문제가 있을 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한 본 연구의 결과는 대기질 관리의 보다 엄격한 기준 적용의 필요성, 방어적 소비재에 대한 사회취약층에 대한 고려 그리고 대기 오염 관련 정보의 접근성 향상 및 신뢰성 회복이 필요하다는 정책적 함의를 가진다.

An Eulerian-Lagrangian hybrid modeling system to analyze physical and chemical processes during the transport of air parcels was developed. The Backward-tracking Model Analyzer (BMA) was designed to take advantages of both Eulerian and Lagrangian modeling approaches. Simulated trajectories from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration HYSPLIT model were combined with the US Environmental Protection Agency Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ)-simulated concentrations and additional diagnostic analyses. In this study, we first introduced a generalized methodology to seamlessly match polylines (HYSPLIT) and threedimensional polygons (CMAQ), which enables mass-conservative analyses of physio-chemical processes of transporting air parcels. Two applications of the BMA were conducted: (1) a long-range transport case of pollutant plume across the Yellow Sea using CMAQ Integrated Process Rate analyses, and (2) a domestic circulation of pollutants within (and near) the South Korea based on the sulfate tracking analyzer. The first episode demonstrated a secondary formation of nitrate and ammonium during the transport over the Yellow Sea while sulfate is mostly transported after being formed over the China, and the second episode demonstrated a dominant impact of boundary condition with active sulfate formation from gas-phase oxidation near the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

A three-dimensional photochemical air pollution model considered advection, dispersion, photochemical reactions, and precipitation processes was developed. The calculated results of meteorological observation clearly exhibited geographical effects of Gwangyang Bay, in which land and sea breezes, mount-valley winds and local circular winds occurred. The observed results of daytime NOx concentrations were slightly higher than the calculated NOx concentrations in Yosu industrial complex, Gwangyang iron mill, and container yard. Eventually, the calculated NOx results generally agreed well with the observed ones.

대기오염물질은 배출되면 인위적으로 제거하는 과정이 용이하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 인체, 자연생태계 및 재산상에 다방면으로 피해를 주는 특성을 가지고 있다. 그중에서도 호흡성 먼지 또는 미세먼지라고 부르고 있는 PM-10은 대기 중 체류시간이 길며 인체에 대한 위해도를 갖고 있으나 최선의 대처 방법은 외출을 삼가하는 등의 미세먼지에 대한 노출을 사전에 방지 하는 방법밖에 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 미세먼지에 대한 노출을 사전에 막고 이에 대한 대처를 위하여 미세먼지농도의 예보 및 경보 시스템 체제를 가동해야 할 필요성이 대두되고 있다.

For the last decade, remarkable progress in the coating weight uniformity of hot dip galvanized product has been made to overcome the tightening quality constraints and produce cost-effective galvanized products. This progress results from research and development works for more efficient air knife, more accurate model of coating process, more precise measurement of coating weight and more efficient control logics. The activities for an efficient mathematical model to predict coating weight and several control logics which has been implemented on the No.1 CGL, No. 2 CGL, and PGL at KwangYang Steel Works are reviewed in this article.

A combination system of catch canal and constructed wetland was designed and suggested to improve water quality in gagricultural region of lower Dong-jin river basin. In order to evaluate an water quality improvement efficiency of the designed combination system, the NPS-WET model was applied in this study. Simulation result of the NPS-WET shown that the nutrient load removal rate of constructed wetland was BOD, T-N, T-P and SS was 30.7~39.0%, 46~60%, 40.7~57.0% and 68.2~74.7%, respectively. Nutrients reduction of constructed wetland was higher in growing season than winter season because vital activity of microorganism, macrophyte and algae was augmented with high air and water temperature. Effluents from constructed wetland can affect water-quality of catch canal drains, especially, water-quality on junction point to Dong-jin river. Water-quality improvement in low-flowed catch canal (Un-san) was more significant than in high-flowed catch canal (Won-pyeong). In conclusion, a feasible design of constructed wetland is necessary to treat large quantity of receiving water. The NPS-WET is useful tool for assessing water-quality improvement efficiency using constructed wetland.
