KOMPSAT-2 was successively launched on July 28,06. She carries Fine Spatial Resolution Sensor with three channels. It is 4m monochromatic and 1m panchromatic. The main purposes would derive fine urban map and digital elevation model(DEM).Therefore we extend to coastal environment monitoring using the adjacent effect of radiation due to an interaction of radiation between heterogeneous surface and atmosphere. With data analysis of ASTER on TERA, which is 15m resolution in visible and near infrared wavelengths, we found atmospheric aerosols were always large. Note that data analysis was limited in Nagoya bay, Lake Tahoe, California & La Pozuelos, La Picasa, Argentina. Thus this time we expect data analyses around isolated island and peninsula in west and south coast of Korea.

Atmospheric nano-particles along the altitude is one of the main factors causing severe weather phenomena. It is a challenge to find the precise particle size distribution. One useful instrument includes a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS). This measures the size distribution of submicron aerosols. The SMPS consists of a condensation particle counter (CPC), differential mobility analyzer (DMA), high voltage power supplier (HVPS), and neutralizer. Due to the many components, it is difficult to install a commercial SMPS into a tethered balloon package system (Eun, 2011). In this study, we customized a SMPS for the tethered balloon package system called Hy-SMPS. It is portable, compact in structure, and evaluated by TSI SMPS using mono and poly-dispersed particles.

동북아 지역 특히 중국대륙의 경제발전에 따른 에너지 사용량 증가는 다량의 대기오염물질을 방출하고 있다. 한반도에 도달하는 황사현상에서 알 수 있듯이 대기오염물질은 장거리로 이동되어 인접국가의 환경 및 기후변화에 영향을 미친다. 대표적인 장거리이동 대기오염물질인 미세 입자를 포함하는 에어로졸의 물리적ㆍ화학적 성분 및 이동 경로파악은 매우 중요하다. 라이다를 사용하면 지상에서 60km까지의 대기에어로졸 연직분포의 실시간 측정이 가능하다. 본 연구는 ACE-Asia 프로그램 참여를 위해 다중채널 라이다 시스템을 제주도 고산 관측소에 설치하여 2001년 3월부터 운영 중에 있다.

본 연구는 서울, 청주, 춘천 세 개 도시 대기에서의 입자상 물질에 대한 분석을 Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis(EPMA)를 이용한 단일 입자 분석법으로 행하였다. 단일 입자 분석법은 개개 입자의 형상과 크기 그리고 화학 조성에 대한 정보를 동시에 제공하기 때문에 개개 입자의 생성, 이동, 반응 그리고 환경에의 영향에 대한 자세한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 최근에 개발된 ultrathin window를 장착한 EPMA 분석법(Low-Z EPMA)은 종래의 통상적인 EPMA 방법으로는 분석하기 어려웠던 탄소, 질소, 산소 등의 원소를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있다. 따라서 도시 대기의 중요 구성 입자상 물질인 황산염, 질산염, 암모늄염, 유기 입자 등도 포함하여 도시 대기 입자 분석에 유용하게 활용된다.

Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) Project의 1차 집중 관측기간 중에 2001년 4월 4일부터 일주일 동안 제주도 고산에서 채취한 시료에 대하여 low-Z electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z EPMA)를 이용한 입자상물질의 단일 입자 분석을 수행하였다. 시료채취 장소인 제주도는 대기 중 입자상물질에 대한 대륙과 해양의 영향을 연구하는데 이상적인 장소이다 왜냐하면 제주로는 한반도, 중국대륙, 일본, 그리고 황해로 둘러 쌓여있어서 대륙간의 영향을 많이 받지만 그 자체가 청정지역이라 측정결과의 해석이 용이하기 때문이다.

대기 중의 에어로졸은 지구의 복사평형에 직·간접적으로 영향을 끼친다. 직접적인 영향으로는 에어로졸이 가시광선과 자외선 영역의 에너지를 산란 또는 흡수함으로써 기후에 영향을 미치며, 간접적으로는 microphysical process에 의한 구름의 특성을 변화시키거나 불균일적인 화학반응을 통해서 복사특성을 지니는 가스들을 변화시킴으로써 기후에 영향을 미친다. 또한 동북아 지역 및 인접한 태평양 지역은 중국과 인접해 있는 관계로 매년 봄철이민 고비사막이나 중국의 황토고원에서 발생한 황사(Asian Dust) 현상에 의해 많은 고통을 겪고 있다.

Fine particles of water-soluble pharmaceuticals were prepared using a new micronization method, Carbon Dioxide Assisted Nebulization in a Bubble Dryer(CAN-BD). The process utilized mixtures of CO$_2$ in aqueous solution at supercritical conditions to form an emulsion. The aerosols were dried with pre-heated nitrogen, and the drying chamber was operated at near atmospheric pressure. The dry particles were collected on membrane filter at the bottom of the drying chamber. Several processing parameters such as flow rate, temperature, pressure, solid concentration and processing scale were accessed using NaCl, human serum albumin, and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor as model pharmaceuticals.

Particle - bound water changes the physical and chemical properties of aerosol particles, such as size and light scattering properties. Consequently, it is necessary to remove water vapor from ambient aerosols before aerosol particles are sized and counted. Silicon gel diffusion dryer is commonly employed for this purpose. However, it can not be operated continuously While in operation, silicon gel becomes progressively more loaded with water and must periodically be regenerated by drying off the water. (omitted)

In order to examine the variation characteristics of chemical compositions in relation to the inflow pathways of Asian dust, $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ aerosols were collected at Gosan site of Jeju Island during the Asian dust days between 2010 and 2015, and their chemical compositions were analyzed. The mean mass concentrations of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ during Asian dust days were $130.0{\pm}90.2$ and $38.2{\pm}24.7{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The composition ratios of major secondary pollutants ($nss-SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NH_4{^+}$, $NO_3{^-}$) were high as 53.7 % for $PM_{10-2.5}$ and 90.6 % for $PM_{2.5}$. When the Asian dusts had been transported to the Korean Peninsula via Loess Plateau of central China, the concentrations of $nss-Ca^{2+}$, $NH_4{^+}$, $nss-SO_4{^{2-}}$, and $NO_3{^-}$ increased more noticeably. Whereas in case when the inflow pathways of Asian dust had been through the Bohai bay, the concentrations of the crustal species such as Al, Fe, and Ca were relatively high in coarse particles. The atmospheric aerosols were acidified largely by sulfuric and nitric acids. They were neutralized mainly by calcium carbonate in coarse particle mode passed through Manchuria area, but by ammonia in fine particle mode passed through Loess plateau and Bohai bay. Ammonium salts are assumed to exist as ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate in coarse particles, but mostly as ammonium sulfate in fine particles.

Green Leaf Volatiles (GLVs) is a class of biogenically emitted oxygenated hydrocarbons that have been identified as a potential source of Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOA) via aqueous oxidation. The physico-chemical properties of GLVs are vital to understanding their fate and transport in the atmosphere via fog processing, but few experimental data are available. We studied the aqueous solubility, 1-octanol/water partition coefficient, and Henry's law constant ($K_H$) of five GLVs at $25^{\circ}C$: methyl jasmonate, methyl salicylate, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, and cis-3-hexenyl acetate. Henry's law constant was also measured at temperatures and ionic strengths typical of fog. Experimental values are compared to scarcely-available literature values, as well as estimations using group and bond contribution methods, property-specific correlations and molecular dynamics simulations. From these values, the partition coefficients to the air-water interface were also calculated. The large Henry's law constant of methyl jasmonate ($8091{\pm}1121M{\cdot}atm^{-1}$) made it the most significant GLV for aqueous phase photochemistry. The HENRYWIN program's bond contribution method from the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI Suite) produced the best estimate of the Henry's constant for GLVs. Estimations of 1-octanol/water partition coefficient and solubility are best when correlating an experimental value of one to find the other. Finally, the scavenging efficiency was calculated for each GLV indicating aqueous phase processing will be most important for methyl jasmonate.
