지구온난화로 기후변화 및 이상 기상현상이 증가함에 따라 전 세계적으로 미래 기후 전망에 대한 관심과 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 온난화로 인한 기온의 상승 경향은 미래에도 지속될 것으로 예상되며, 현재 남해안에 국한되는 아열대 기후구는 점차 북상할 것으로 전망된다. 기후대의 이동은 작물재배지의 변화를 의미하기 때문에 본 연구에서는 변화하는 농업기후 조건에서 작물 재배 적응 대책을 마련할 수 있도록 우리나라의 고해상도 기후 자료를 기반으로 현재-미래에 대한 기후대 전망을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 평년 기간(1981-2010)에 대해 제작된 남한과 북한의 통합된 고해상도 월 최고기온 및 최저기온, 월 적산강수량을 확보 및 제작하였고, 쾨펜 기후대 구분 기준에 따라 한반도 기후대를 분류하였다. 동일한 방법으로 기상청의 RCP8.5 기후변화 시나리오를 기반으로 30-270m 격자 해상도로 상세화 된 한반도 지역의 월 단위 기후 자료를 확보하여, 미래에 예상되는 기후대 변화를 전망하였다. RCP8.5 시나리오를 바탕으로 같은 기후 구분 기준을 적용한 결과, 한반도의 기온과 강수량은 지속적으로 증가하여 기후가 점차 단순해지는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 남부지방에 나타나는 온대기후(C)는 점차 확대되어, 2071-2100년대에는 북한의 함경도와 평안도 일부 지역을 제외한 한반도의 대부분이 온대기후(C)가 될 것으로 예상되었다. 반면 냉대 기후(D)는 서서히 북쪽으로 후퇴하여 한반도가 점점 온난 습윤해질 것으로 예상되었다.

개화기(1876~1910) 조선은 서양의 과학기술이 활발하게 소개되었다는 점에서 격동의 시기였다. 이러한 서양 근대과학과 동양과학의 상호작용은 당시 조선을 방문하였던 서양인의 기록에서 일면 엿볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 개화기에 조선을 방문하였던 서양인의 문헌 중 날씨와 기후에 대한 기록에 초점을 맞추어 그 특징을 파악하는 데에 목적이 있다. 연구 결과는 수치를 이용한 정량적 기록, 근대과학 체계에서 기후 파악, 그리고 강우에 대한 기록이라는 세 가지 특징으로 정리할 수 있다. 이와 같은 특징은 개화기 조선을 방문한 서양인들이 한반도의 기후에 대해 객관적이고 체계적으로 이해하고 있었음을 보여준다.

The impact of horizontal resolution on a regional climate model was investigated by simulating precipitation over the Korean Peninsula. As a regional climate model, the SNURCM(Seoul National University Regional Climate Model) has 21 sigma layers and includes the NCAR CLM(National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Land Model) for land-surface model, the Grell scheme for cumulus convection, the Simple Ice scheme for explicit moisture, and the MRF(Medium-Range Forecast) scheme for PBL(Planetary Boundary Layer) processing. The SNURCM was performed with 20 km resolution for Korea and 60 km resolution for East Asia during a 20-year period (1980-1999). Although the SNURCM systematically underestimated precipitation over the Korean Peninsula, the increase of model resolution simulated more precipitation in the southern region of the Korean Peninsula, and a more accurate distribution of precipitation by reflecting the effect of topography. The increase of precipitation was produced by more detailed terrain data which has a 10 minute terrain in the 20 km resolution model compared to the 30 minute terrain in the 60 km resolution model. The increase in model resolution and more detailed terrain data played an important role in generating more precipitation over the Korean Peninsula. While the high resolution model with the same terrain data resulted in increasing of precipitation over the Korean Peninsula including the adjoining sea, the difference of the terrain data resolution only influenced the precipitation distribution of the mountainous area by increasing the amount of non-convective rain. In conclusion, the regional climate model (SNURCM) with higher resolution simulated more precipitation over the Korean Peninsula by reducing the systematic underestimation of precipitation over the Korean Peninsula.

This study examined the change in sea surface temperature (SST) around the Korean peninsula since industrialization at year 1880, and its possible causes using observation based data from the Hadley Center, the Goddard Institute of Space Studies, and National Climate Data Center. Since year 1880, There have been multi-decadal fluctuations with a gradual reduction from 1880 to around 1940, and from 1950-1980. There has then been a marked increase from 1940-1950, and from 1980 to the present. The ocean surface warming is larger during the boreal winter than summer, and greater in the south. The multi-decadal SST fluctuations around the Korean Peninsula are largely consistent with the negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), which fluctuates with periods of about 20-50 years. Secondly, the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), whose long period component moves along with the PDO, appears to influence the SST near the Korean Peninsula, especially in recent decades. Overall, the SST around the Korean Peninsula has warmed since year 1880 by about $1^{\circ}C$, which is about twice the global-mean ocean surface warming. This long-term warming is aligned with an increase in greenhouse gas concentration, as well as local factors such as the PDO.

We developed a regional ocean climate model using dynamic downscaling in the Northwest Pacific Ocean to build a climate model for the Korean Peninsula. The past marine environment was reproduced through historical simulations, and the future marine environment in 2100 was predicted according to the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) climate change scenario. The future sea surface temperature of the Korean seas is predicted to rise about 1-4℃, and the increase in water temperature in the East Sea is expected to be the largest. The National Institute of Fisheries Science has monitored abnormal seawater temperatures such as high and low seawater temperatures in coastal and inland waters, and predicted that the number of high seawater temperature days in the East, West, South Sea, and the coast of Jeju Island will increase in the future. In addition, the occurrence of Ciguatera fish poison plankton around Jeju Island was projected to increase. This study is expected to provide accurate forecasting information for fishery issues. The aim of this study was to analyze future ocean environment changes around the Korean Peninsula using climate change SSP scenarios and predict fisheries issues through future projections of the regional ocean climate model.

In the present study, the time series of the number of days on which temperatures were not higher than $-5^{\circ}C$ in winter in Seoul was analyzed. The results showed a decreasing tendency until recently. Statistical change-point analysis was conducted to examine whether climate regime shifts existed in this time series. According to the results, the number of days on which temperatures were not higher than $-5^{\circ}C$ in winter in Seoul drastically decreased since 1988. Therefore, to find out the reason for the recent decrease in the number of days, differences between the means of large-scale environments in winder during 1988~2010 and those during 1974~1987 were analyzed. In all layers of the troposphere, anomalous anticyclones developed in regions around the Korean Peninsula and thus the Korean Peninsula was affected by westerlies or south-westerlies. This was associated with the recent a little further northward development of western North Pacific subtropical high. Therefore, environments good for warm and humid air to flow into the Korean Peninsula were formed. To examine whether relatively warm and humid air actually flowed into the Korean Peninsula recently, temperatures and specific humidity in all layers in the troposphere were analyzed and according to the results the Korean Peninsula showed warm and humid anomalies. In the analyses of sensible heat net flux and maximum temperatures at a height of 2 m that can be felt by humans, the East Asia Continent including the Korean Peninsula showed positive anomalies.

Background: The Korean Peninsula exhibits a characteristic graded floral distribution, with northern (Manchurian flora) and southern (China-Japan-Korea flora) lineage species coexisting according to climatic and topographical characteristics. However, this distribution has been altered by climate change. To identify ecosystem changes caused by climate change and develop appropriate measures, the current ecological status of the entire Korean Peninsula should first be determined; however, analysis of the current floral distribution in North Korea has been hampered for political reasons. To overcome these limitations, this study constructed a database of floral distributions in both South and North Korea by integrating spatial information from the previously established National Ecological Survey in South Korea and geocoding data from the literature on biological distributions published in North Korea. It was then applied to analyze the current status and distribution characteristics of Manchurian and China-Japan-Korea plant species on the Korean Peninsula. Results: In total, 45,877 cases were included in the Manchurian and China-Japan-Korea floral distribution database. China-Japan-Korea species were densely distributed on Jeju-do and along the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. The distribution density decreased as the latitude increased, and the distributions reached higher-latitude regions in the coastal areas compared with the inland regions. Manchurian species were distributed throughout North Korea, while they were densely distributed in the refugia formed in the high-elevation mountain regions and the Baekdudaegan in South Korea. In the current distribution of biomes classified according to the Whittaker method, subtropical and endemic species were densely distributed in temperate seasonal forest and woodland/shrubland biomes, whereas boreal species were densely distributed in the boreal forest biome Korean Peninsula, with a characteristic gradation of certain species distributed in the temperate seasonal forest biome. Factor analysis showed that temperature and latitude were the main factors influencing the distribution of flora on the Korean Peninsula. Conclusions: The findings reported herein on the current floral distribution trends across the entire Korean Peninsula will prove valuable got mitigating the ecological disturbances caused by ongoing climate change. Additionally, the gathered flora data will serve as a basis for various follow-up studies on climate change.

전구 및 지역 기후 모델 결과를 분석하여 동아시아와 한반도 지역에 대해 상세한 지역기후의 변화를 전망한 연구를 소개하였다. 특히 IPCC 4차 평가 보고서의 배출 시나리오를 기반으로 국내 연구그룹이 산출한 한반도 지역기후 변화 전망을 소개하고 그 특성을 파악하였다. 배출 시나리오에 따라 강도의 차이가 다소 있지만 미래 한반도의 온난화 경향은 명확한 것으로 나타났다. 강수량의 경우 배출 시나리오와 시기에 따라 다소 상이한 변화 경향을 보이지만, 대부분의 연구에서 공통적으로 미래 집중호우의 발생 빈도와 강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 지역기후 변화로 인하여 고지대를 제외한 대부분의 남한지역이 아열대 기후구로 점차 변해갈 것으로 전망되며, 이로 인한 생태계와 계절의 변화가 야기될 것으로 예상된다.

The paddy rice consumptive use in the six plains of the Korean peninsula was projected with changing climate under the representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios. High resolution climate data for the baseline (1961-1990) was obtained from the International water management institute (IWMI) and future high resolution climate projection was obtained from the Korea Meteorological Administration. Reference evapotranspiration (ET) was calculated by using Hargreaves equation. The results of this study showed that the average annual mean temperature would increase persistently in the future. Temperatures were projected to increase more in RCP8.5 than those in RCP4.5 scenario. The rice consumptive use during the growing period was projected to increase slightly in the 2020s and then more significantly in the 2050s and 2080s. It showed higher values for RCP8.5 than for RCP4.5. The rice consumptive use after transplanting in the study areas would increase by 2.2 %, 5.1 % and 7.2 % for RCP4.5 and 3.0 %, 7.6 %, and 13.3 % for RCP8.5, in the 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s, respectively, from the baseline value of 534 mm. The results demonstrated the effects of climate change on rice consumptive use quite well, and can be used in the future agricultural water planning in the Korean peninsula.

This study's objects are to predict distribution and to assess vulnerability of sub-alpine vegetations in the Korean peninsula for climate change using various climate models. This study validates relationship between sub-alpine vegetations and environmental factors using Pearson correlation analysis. Then, the future distribution of sub-alpine vegetations are predicted by a logistic regression. The major findings in this study are; First, spring mean temperature (March-May), total precipitation, elevation and warmth index are highly influencing factors to the distribution of sub-alpine vegetations. Second, the sub-alpine vegetations will be disappeared in South Korea and concentrated around Baekdu Mountain in North Korea. North Korea is predicted to have serious impact of climate change because temperature will be increased higher than in South Korea. The study findings concluded that the assessment of the future vulnerability of sub-alpine vegetations to climate change are significant.
