Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the important trace gases because its concentration in the troposphere directly influences the concentrations of tropospheric hydroxyl (OH), which controls the lifetimes of tropospheric trace gases. CO traces the transport of global and regional pollutants from industrial activities and large scale biomass burning. The distributions of CO were analyzed using the MOPITT data for East Asia, which were compared with the ozone distributions. In general, seasonal CO variations are characterized by a peak in the spring, which decrease in the summer. The monthly average for CO shows a similar profile to that for O$_3$. This fact clearly indicates that the high concentration of CO in the spring is possibly due to one of two causes: the photochemical production of CO in the troposphere, or the transport of the CO into East Asia. The seasonal cycles for CO and O$_3$ in East Asia are extensively influenced by the seasonal exchanges of different air mass types due to the Asian monsoon. The continental air masses contain high concentrations of O$_3$ and CO, due to the higher continental background concentrations, and sometimes to the contribution from regional pollution. In summer this transport pattern is reversed, where the Pacific marine air masses that prevail over Korea bring low concentrations of CO and O$_3$, which tend to give the apparent summer minimums.

This study revisits the definition of Changma, which is the major rainy season in Korea and corresponds to a regional component of the East Asian summer monsoon system. In spite of several decades of researches on Changma, questions still remain on many aspects of Changma that include its proper definition, determination of its onset and retreat, and relevant large-scale dynamical and thermodynamical features. Therefore, this study clarifies the definition of Changma (which is a starting point for the study of interannual and interdecadal variability) using a basic concept of air mass and front by calculating equivalent potential temperature (${\theta}_e$) that considers air temperature and humidity simultaneously. A negative peak in the meridional gradient of this quantity signifies the approximate location of Changma front. This front has previously been recognized as the boundary between the tropical North Pacific air mass and cold Okhotsk sea air mass. However, this study identifies three more important air masses affecting Changma: the tropical monsoon air mass related to the intertropical convergence zone over Southeast Asia and South China Sea, the tropical continental air mass over North China, and intermittently polar continental air mass. The variations of these five air masses lead to complicated evolution of Changma and modulate intensity, onset and withdrawal dates, and duration of Changma on the interannual time scale. Importantly, use of ${\theta}_e$, 500-hPa geopotential height and 200 hPa zonal wind fields for determining Changma onset and withdrawal dates results in a significant increase (up to~57%) in the hindcast skill compared to a previous study.

본 연구는 하절기 집중강우가 하천의 부영양화도, 이온변화, 산소요구량에 영향 평가로서 수질 변수들 간의 상호관계를 분석하였다. 용존산소(DO) 농도는 수온과 역상관 관계 (r= -0.99, p<0.001)를 보였다. 대부분 수질변이는 7 ${\sim}$ 8월에 발생 하였으며, 이들의 대부분은 하절기 집중강우와 직접적인 연관성을 보였다. pH의 경우 6.5 이하의 최소값은 최대 강우를 보인 8월에 관측되었는데, 이는 강우에 의한 수소이온농도의 희석현상에 의한 것으로 사료되었다. 전기전도도 또한 강우분포를 반영하였다. 즉, EC 값은 다른 계절보다 하절기에 좀 더 높은 값을 보였으며, 강우와의 직접적 연관성을 보였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 이온희석 현상은 강우 전의 하절기에는 높았지만, 집중강우 후 짧게는 4 ${\sim}$ 5일 길게는 1 ${\sim}$ 2주 후에 이온이 희석되는 것으로 나타나 강우와 하천수의 이온농도사이에 뚜렷한 반응시간의 지체현상을 보였다. COD의 계절적 변화 페턴은 BOD와 유사한(r= 0.55, p<0.001) 양상을 보였다. 총질소 (TN)는 총인 (TP)에 비해 변이 폭이 적었으며, 3월의 갈수기에 최소값을 보였다. 대조적으로, 총인 유입은 하절기 몬순동안에 주로 발생하였고, 총부유물(TSS)과 유사한 계절 변화 양상을 보여인(P)의 증가가 수계에서 유발되는 무기성부유물과 밀접하게 연관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 총인: 총질소의 무게비는 질소 변이 (r= -0.21, p<0.01)보다는 총인(r= -0.51, p<0.01)의 변이에 의해 결정되었으며, 총인이 제한 요인으로 작용할 것으로 사료되었다. 본 계류형 하천에서 수질을 조절하는 1차 요인은 강우시기 및 강고로 사료 되었으며, 최대 변이는 하절기의 첨두강우와 일치하였다.

한국연안 평균해면은, 주로 대기압과 해수밀도 변화로 인하여, 여름에 높고 겨 울에 낮다. 대기압 변화에 수반된 평균해면의 변위는 한국연안 어디에서나 거의 균 일하며, 연주기 진폭은 8.5$\pm$0.8cm이다. 수온변화에 따른 해면변위는 연주기 진폭이 4-8cm정도이며, 황해에서 현저하다. 남해의 해면은 염분변화의 영향을 크게 받으며, 이의 연주기 진폭은 5cm까지 이른다. 월별 평균 해면의 연교차는 서해에서 40cm정 도이고 동해에서 20cm정도인데 , 이와 같은 지역에 따라 연교차가 다른 주원인은 계절풍이 서해에서는 해면의 연교차를 증가시키나, 동해에서는 감소시키기 때문이다.

본 연구에서는 몬순 기후지역에 위치한 대형 인공호(소양호)로 유입하는 유기탄소의 양의 시간적 변화와 호수로 유입 후의 침강하는 탄소의 양을 계산하였다. 또한 이렇게 침강한 유기물이 심층 혐기성 분해 후 발생하는 메탄의 양을 측정하였다. 조사 결과 몬순 강우의 영향으로 여름철 많은 양의 유기탄소가 유입수를 통해 호수로 유입하는 사실을 확인하였고, 침강하는 유기탄소 양 또한 상당함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유기탄소의 순환 및 온실가스 방출연구에 중요한 부분인 메탄 방출량을 측정한 결과 그 양이 이미 조사된 다른 호수와 비교했을 때 더 많은 양의 탄소가 메탄의 형태로 배출됨을 알 수 있었다. 향후 온실가스 저장소(inventory) 대상 선정에 있어서도 인공호의 중요성을 무시할 수 없음을 확인했다. 그러나 호수의 메탄 발생량을 정량하기 위해 메탄 기포 발생의 산발적인 특성을 고려하고 시공간적 발생의 특징을 연구하는 것은 향후 필수적이다. 더욱이 현재 우리나라 호수를 대상으로 한 메탄가스 발생의 연구는 극히 드물기 때문에 더 많은 관심이 필요하다.

Future changes in seasonal mean temperature and precipitation over East Asia under anthropogenic global warming are investigated by comparing the historical run for 1979~2005 and the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 run for 2006~2100 with 20 coupled models which participated in the phase five of Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP5). Although an increase in future temperature over the East Asian monsoon region has been commonly accepted, the prediction of future precipitation under global warming still has considerable uncertainties with a large inter-model spread. Thus, we select best five models, based on the evaluation of models' performance in present climate for boreal summer and winter seasons, to reduce uncertainties in future projection. Overall, the CMIP5 models better simulate climatological temperature and precipitation over East Asia than the phase 3 of CMIP and the five best models' multi-model ensemble (B5MME) has better performance than all 20 models' multi-model ensemble (MME). Under anthropogenic global warming, significant increases are expected in both temperature and land-ocean thermal contrast over the entire East Asia region during both seasons for near and long term future. The contrast of future precipitation in winter between land and ocean will decrease over East Asia whereas that in summer particularly over the Korean Peninsula, associated with the Changma, will increase. Taking into account model validation and uncertainty estimation, this study has made an effort on providing a more reliable range of future change for temperature and precipitation particularly over the Korean Peninsula than previous studies.

It is imperative to understand the characteristics of atmospheric circulation patterns under the climate system due to its impact on climatic factors. Thus this study focused on analyzing the impact of the atmospheric circulation on the relationship between precipitation and temperature regionally. Here we used monthly gridded observational data (i.e., CRU-TS3.2, NOAA-20CR V2c) and HadGEM2-AO climate model by RCP8.5, for the period of 1960~1999 and 2060~2099. The experiment results indicated that the negative relationship was presented over East Asia and Europe during summer. On the other hand, at around Korea (i.e. EA1: $31^{\circ}N{\sim}38^{\circ}N$, $126^{\circ}E{\sim}140^{\circ}E$) and Northwestern Europe (i.e. EU1: $48^{\circ}N{\sim}55^{\circ}N$, $0^{\circ}E{\sim}16^{\circ}E$) in winter, strong positive relationship dominate due to warm moist advection come from ocean related to intensity variation of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), respectively. It was found that values of positive relation in EA1 and EU1 at the end of the 21st century is regionally greater than at the end of 20th century during winter since magnitude of variation of the EAWM and NAO is projected to be greater in the future as result of simulation with RCP 8.5. Future summer, the negative correlations are weakened in EA1 region while strengthened in EU1 region. For better understanding of correlations with respect to RCP scenarios, a further study is required.

In this paper, future climate changes over East Asia($20^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}N$, $100^{\circ}{\sim}150^{\circ}E$) are projected by anthropogenic forcing of greenhouse gases and aerosols using coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) simulations based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) B1, A1B and A2 scenarios. Before projection future climate, model performance is assessed by the $20^{th}$ Century (20C3M) experiment with bias, root Mean Square Error (RMSE), ratio of standard deviation, Taylor diagram analysis. The result of examination of the seasonal uncertainty of T2m and PCP shows that cold bias, lowered than that of observation, of T2m and wet bias, larger than that of observation, of PCP are found over East Asia. The largest wet bias is found in winter and the largest cold bias is found in summer. The RMSE of temperature in the annual mean increases and this trend happens in winter, too. That is, higher resolution model shows generally better performances in simulation T2m and PCP. Based on IPCC SRES scenarios, East Asia will experience warmer and wetter climate in the coming $21^{st}$ century. It is predict the T2m increase in East Asia is larger than global mean temperature. As the latitude goes high, the warming over the continents of East Asia showed much more increase than that over the ocean. An enhanced land-sea contrast is proposed as a possible mechanism of the intensified Asian summer monsoon. But, the inter-model variability in PCP changes is large.

In this paper, the evaluation of the performance of Korea Meteorological Administratio (KMA) Global Seasonal forecasting system version 6 (GloSea6) is presented by assessing the effects of larger ensemble size and carrying out the test using different initial conditions for hindcast in sub-seasonal to seasonal scales. The number of ensemble members increases from 3 to 7. The Ratio of Predictable Components (RPC) approaches the appropriate signal magnitude with increase of ensemble size. The improvement of annual variability is shown for all basic variables mainly in mid-high latitude. Over the East Asia region, there are enhancements especially in 500 hPa geopotential height and 850 hPa wind fields. It reveals possibility to improve the performance of East Asian monsoon. Also, the reliability tends to become better as the ensemble size increases in summer than winter. To assess the effects of using different initial conditions, the area-mean values of normalized bias and correlation coefficients are compared for each basic variable for hindcast according to the four initial dates. The results have better performance when the initial date closest to the forecasting time is used in summer. On the seasonal scale, it is better to use four initial dates, where the maximum size of the ensemble increases to 672, mainly in winter. As the use of larger ensemble size, therefore, it is most efficient to use two initial dates for 60-days prediction and four initial dates for 6-months prediction, similar to the current Time-Lagged ensemble method.

An investigation was carried out to study the effect of two housing systems on physiological responses and energy expenditure of sheep in a semi-arid region of India. Two types of housing management were adopted. First was a shed- $6{\times}3\;m^2$ structure with all the four sides of 1.8 m chain link fencing with a central height of 3 m. The roof was covered with asbestos sheets and with mud floorings. Second was an open corral- $6{\times}3\;m^2$ open space with all the four sides covered with 1.8 m chain link fencing. Thirty-four (32 ewes and 2 rams) sheep of native Malpura breed aged about 18 months (body weight 28 kg ewes; 35 kg rams) were grazed together on a 35 ha plot of native range. All the sheep were grazed as a flock from 08.00 to 17.00 h during a yearlong study. The flock was divided into two groups (16 ewes+1 ram) in the evening and housed as per the systems (Shed and Open Corral). Dry and wet temperatures were recorded at 06.00 h and 21.00 h using a wet and dry bulb-thermometer both inside the shed and in the open corral and temperature humidity index (THI) was calculated. There was significant (p<0.05) difference in the THI between shed and open corral in all the seasons, indicating that shed was always warmer compared to open corral. Rectal temperature (RT) of both the groups of sheep was similar during morning as well as evening throughout the seasons. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the skin temperature (ST) and respiration rate (RR) between the two groups at both the measurements in all the seasons. Highest energy expenditure (EE) was recorded inside the shed at 21.00 h (224 kJ/h) during monsoon and lowest at 6.00 h during winter (119 kJ/h). There was a significant (p<0.05) difference between the EE inside the shed and that in the open corral. It was concluded that housing had significant effects on the physiological responses and EE of sheep. Provision of housing at night was stressful during monsoon (with less rainfall) and summer, whereas it was protecting the sheep from acute cold during winter in a semi-arid region of India.
