To reveal the spatial and temporal variability in the distribution, growth, and maturation of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis in the western tropical Pacific, we compared two El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signals and the sea surface temperature (SST) in the main fishing area with fishery and biological data. An index of skipjack tuna distribution was calculated using Korean purse seine fishery data from 1985 to 2003. Biological data for skipjack tuna were collected monthly from Korean catches during the 1994-2003 period. The catch was more closely related to the SST in the main fishing area than to the ENSO signals. However, cross-correlated function analysis showed delayed interactions between abiotic and biotic factors. The El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ events preceded the eastward movement of the fishing center by 2-3 months. El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ had a positive effect on the skipjack tuna catch, and the change in the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) preceded the catch fluctuation by ca. 5-7 months. In addition, negative El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ effects on gonad maturation and the mean length of skipjack tuna were detected with time lags of 12 and 7 months, respectively. The length frequency indicated that the regime-specific growth pattern at each discrete period seemed to be related to the ENSO.

This paper investigated the relationship between El $Ni\widetilde{n}o-Southern$ Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) mode events and the impacts of these two phenomena on the climate, temperature and precipitation, of the Korean Peninsula. Data gathered from 1954 to 2004 were used for analysis, which included NINO 3 index, IOD index, and monthly mean precipitation and temperature at eleven locations in Korea. Statistical results showed that the IOD and ENSO were significantly correlated in Spring and Fall. It was clearly shown that the distribution of the sea surface temperature in the Indian Ocean has seen the Southern and Northern Oscillation in El $Ni\widetilde{n}o$ year, and Eastern and Western in IOD year. On the other hand, in El $Ni\widetilde{n}o$ you, the mean temperature of the Korea Peninsula was lower than normal in Summer and higher in Winter and its precipitation was more than normal in both Summer and Winter. However, significant correlation was not found in IOD year. In addition, the global atmospheric circulations during the major IOD years are less influential, unlike those of El $Ni\widetilde{n}o$ events.

Groundwater resources are becoming depleted due to climate change factors and non climate change factors. In order to effectively groundwater resources management, we developed a method for evaluating vulnerable periods of groundwater resource management in watershed areas. The watershed based vulnerability assessment was conducted independently of the evaluation of vulnerable areas and vulnerable periods for sub watersheds. The vulnerable area evaluation index was standardized and applied to the independent vulnerable period index each region. It was applied to Bonghwa-gun, Andong-si, Yecheon-gun, Mungyeong-si and Sangju-si in the upstream of the Nakdong river basin. As a result, the Sangju-si's August was the most vulnerable at 0.278, and Andong-si was assessed to be vulnerable to groundwater resource management during 8 months of the year in study area. Using the developed method, we can find efficient management method considering the time and regional of groundwater resources.

With the negative influences and damage from Asian dust increasing, it's getting important to investigate the climate and soil condition of the source region of Asian dust. There is a high possibility that the desertification and the drastic decrease of plants in China and Mongolia make worse the situation (bad effects of Asian Dust). To detect the movement of Asian dust caused by air circulation, we need to watch the state of the source region to get useful information for the prevention of the dust pollution, and to predict what part of China will become the source region. Therefore, using TOMS aerosol index data, NCEP reanalysis data that is Remote Sensing data from 1981 to 2000 (except 1993~1996, 4 years), for 16 years, examined the relation between the dust occurrence and weather elements. Dust occurrence appeared much in spring season from March to May in study areas. It had a dry climate during that season as follows : relative humidity about 20~40%, temperature about -5~5$^{\circ}C$, precipitation about 33-180 mm, wind speed about 4-10 ms-1. Dust occurrence and weather element annual change in study areas decreased gradually till 1990, but in Gobi desert the incidence of dust occurrence increased since 1997. As a result, found out that the more the precipitation, the less dust occurrence, because the precipitation and surface wind speed had a direct influence on the soil of the source region of dust.

The land surface reflectance is a key parameter influencing the climate near the surface. Therefore, it must be determined with sufficient accuracy for climate change research. In particular, the characteristics of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) when using earth observation system (EOS) are important for normalizing the reflected solar radiation from the earth's surface. Also, wide swath satellites like SPOT/VGT (VEGETATION) permit sufficient angular sampling, but high resolution satellites are impossible to obtain sufficient angular sampling over a pixel during short period because of their narrow swath scanning. This gives a difficulty to BRDF model based reflectance normalization of high resolution satellites. The principal objective of the study is to add BRDF modeling of high resolution satellites and to supply insufficient angular sampling through identifying BRDF components from SPOT/VGT. This study is performed as the preliminary data for apply to high-resolution satellite. The study provides surface parameters by eliminating BRD effect when calculated biophysical index of plant by BRDF model. We use semi-empirical BRDF model to identify the BRD components. This study uses SPOT/VGT satellite data acquired in the S1 (daily) data. Modeled reflectance values show a good agreement with measured reflectance values from SPOT satellite. This study analyzes BRD effect components by using the NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and the angle components such as solar zenith angle, satellite zenith angle and relative azimuth angle. Geometric scattering kernel mainly depends on the azimuth angle variation and volumetric scattering kernel is less dependent on the azimuth angle variation. Also, forest from land cover shows the wider distribution of value than cropland, overall tendency is similar. Forest shows relatively larger value of geometric term ($K_1{\cdot}f_1$) than cropland, When performed comparison between cropland and forest. Angle and NDVI value are closely related.

Drought is a recurrent natural hazard in Bangladesh. It has significant impacts on agriculture, environment, and society. Well-timed information on the onset, extent, intensity, duration, and impacts of drought can mitigate the potential drought-related losses. Thus, drought characteristics need to be explained in terms of frequency, severity, and duration. This paper aims to characterize the spatial and temporal pattern of meteorological drought using EDI and illustrated drought severity over Bangladesh. Twenty-seven (27) station-based daily rainfall data for the study period of 1981-2015 were used to calculate the EDI values over Bangladesh. The evaluation of EDI is conducted for 4 sub-regions over the country to confirm the historical drought record-developed at the regional scale. The finding shows that on average, the frequency of severe to extreme drought is approximately 0.7 events per year. As a result of the regional analysis, most of the recorded historical drought events were successfully detected during the study period. Additionally, the seasonal analysis showed that the extreme droughts were frequently hit in northwestern, middle portion of the eastern and small portion of central parts of Bangladesh during the Kharif(wet) and Rabi(dry) seasons. The severe drought was affected recurrently in the central and northern regions of the country during all cropping seasons. The study also points out that the northern, south-western and central regions in Bangladesh are comparatively vulnerable to both extreme and severe drought event. The study showed that EDI would be a useful tool to identify the drought-prone area and time and potentially applicable to the climate change-induced drought evolution monitoring at regional to the national level in Bangladesh. The outcome of the present study can be used in taking anticipatory strategies to mitigate the drought damages on agricultural production as well as human sufferings in drought-prone areas of Bangladesh.

인도네시아 산불에 의한 연무는 동남아시아 인접한 국가들에 있어서 심각한 환경문제 중 하나이다. 국제적으로 심각한 문제를 야기하는 인도네시아의 산불은 건조기에 강수량이 적게 내리는 극심한 가뭄 조건에서 발생한다. 건조기 강수량을 모니터링 하는 것은 산불 발생 가능성을 예측하기 위해 중요하지만 산불을 사전에 예방하고 영향을 최소화하기에는 부족하다. 따라서 산불에 대한 선제적 사전예방을 위해서는 수개월의 선행예측 기간을 갖는 조기경보 시스템이 절실하다. 따라서 본 연구는 인도네시아 산불에 대한 선제적 대응을 위한 강수량 예측시스템을 개발하고 예측성을 평가하여 동남아시아 지역의 화재 연무 조기경보 시스템의 시제품(Prototype)을 개발하는데 있다. 강수량 예측을 위해서 APEC 기후센터의 계절예측정보의 활용 정도에 따라서 4가지 서로 다른 방법을 통합하여 사용하였다. 예측정보 기반의 방법들로는 대상지역의 강수량 예측을 위해서 대상 지역 상공의 계절예측 강수자료를 보정을 통해 직접적으로 사용하는 SBC (Simple Bias Correction) 방법과 대상 지역 상공의 강수 예측자료를 사용하는 대신에 지역 강수량과 높은 상관 관계를 보이는 다른 지역의 대리변수를 예측인자로 사용하는 MWR (Moving Window Regression) 방법이 있다. 또한 예측자료의 사용 없이 과거자료 기반의 기후지수(Climate Index) 중에서 지체시간을 고려하여 지역 강수량과 높은 상관관계를 갖는 경우 예측에 활용하는 관측자료 기반의 CIR (Climate Index Regression) 방법과 예측기반 MWR과 관측기반의 CIR 방법에서 선정된 예측인자를 동시에 활용하는 ITR (Integrated Time Regression) 방법이 사용되었다. 장기 강수량 예측은 보르네오 섬의 4개 지역에서 3개월 이하의 선행예측기간에 대하여 0.5 이상의 TCC (Temporal Correlation Coefficient)의 값을 보여 양호한 예측성능을 보였다. 예측된 강수량 자료는 위성기반 관측 강수량 및 관측 탄소 배출량 관계에서 결정된 강수량의 임계값과의 비교를 통해 산불발생 가능성으로 환산하였다. 개발된 조기경보 시스템은 산불 발생에 가장 취약한 해당지역의 건조기(8월~10월) 강수량을 4월부터 예측해 산불 연무에 대한 조기경보를 수행한다. 개발된 화재 연무조기경보 시스템은 지속적인 개선을 통해 현장 실효성을 높여 동남아국가 정부의 화재 및 산림관리자들에게 보급함으로써 동남아의 화재 연무로 인한 환경문제 해결에 기여할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Soil moisture plays a critical role in hydrological processes, land-atmosphere interactions and climate variability. It can limit vegetation growth as well as infiltration of rainfall and therefore very important for agriculture sector and food protection. Recently, due to the increased damage from drought caused by climate change, there is a frequent occurrence of shortage of agricultural water, making it difficult to supply and manage stable agricultural water. Efficient water management is necessary to reduce drought damage, and soil moisture management is important in case of upland crops. In this study, soil moisture was calculated based on the water balance model, and the suitability of soil moisture data was verified through the application. The regional soil moisture was calculated based on the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station, and applied the Runs theory. We analyzed the spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture and drought impacts, and analyzed the correlation between actual drought impacts and drought damage through correlation analysis of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The soil moisture steadily decreased and increased until the rainy season, while the drought size steadily increased and decreased until the rainy season. The regional magnitude of the drought was large in Gyeonggi-do and Gyeongsang-do, and in winter, severe drought occurred in areas of Gangwon-do. As a result of comparative analysis with actual drought events, it was confirmed that there is a high correlation with SPI by each time scale drought events with a correlation coefficient.
