  • We compared the satellite observed temperature with the radiosonde observed temperature in the Korean Peninsula. The radiosonde observed data were obtained from four upper air observation stations in the Korean Peninsula from 1981 to 1998, and that was compared with the satellite observed data of the channel-2 and channel-4 of microwave sounding unit(MSU) on board NOAA series of polar-orbiting satellites. The radiosonde data were reconstructed into monthly radiosonde T$_{b}$ using MSU weighting function. The monthly climatology shows radiosonde T$_{b2}$ is higher than MSU T$_{b2}$ in summer. The correlation between MSU T$_{b2}$ and radiosonde T$_{b2}$ is 0.72-0.76 and 0.73-0.81 between MSU T$_{b4}$ and radiosonde T$_{b4}$.

  • This study is about the ionospheric variation on the Korean Peninsula using GPS TEC data from Daejeon IGS GPS site. It has accumulated the 11 years GPS data from 2000. In this work, the hourly and daily averaged TEC data are used. Data period covers a full solar cycle from 2000 to 2010 (11 years) which the total observed days are 98%. The mean TEC data shows the annual/semiannual variation, solar cycle and 27 days. GPS TEC has a good correlation with solar F10.7 index. We also compare with planetary Kp and AE indices. The maximum of the daily mean GPS TEC is around 50 TECU at 2000 and that value of 2009 is near 10 TECU. we confirms that the GPS TEC is a good indicator for ionospheric variation for the mid-latitudinal region to understand the ionospheric climatology over Korea Peninsula.

  • The Texas Climatological Model (TCM) Predicts long-term pollutant concentrations for a rectilinear array or receptors defined by the user. This paper describes the TCM and compares predictions from TCM with predictions from the Climatological Dispersion Model (CDMQC). A number of model runs have been made with the TCM and CDMQC using the same source inventories and sets of climatology. The concentrations predicted by these two models are compared and the result of several types of statistical analyses are reported. In most cases, the TCM predicts concentrations that are equivalent to those predicted by the CDMQC. However, in certain cases, the CDMQC tends to predict concentrations that are unrealistically high. In the computer time, the TCM requires about one-eights of the computer time used by the CDMQC.

  • The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is an US-Japan joint space mission to observe tropical and subtropical rainfall. This satellite is equipped with the world's first precipitation radar that operates at 13.8 GHz. We introduce the TRMM precipitation radar (PR) system, along with the PR data processing and analysis algorithms, and some observation results obtained by the TRMM PR. It is concluded that the TRMM PR can give quite useful rainfall data for the understanding of global climate changes, meteorology, climatology, atmospheric science, and also for the studies of satellite communication.

  • The surface observation probability system (SOPS) of the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) has been developed based on the climatological distribution of cloud coverage and the expected passage of satellite orbit. While the optical camera loaded on KOMPSAT series has been operated with the purpose of observing earth's surface, it cannot see the surface when an obstacle (i.e., cloud) exists between them. In the present study, cloud information of International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project incorporates into high resolution grid of the KOMPSAT-3 orbit. The characteristics of the KOMPSAT SOPS are discussed.

  • Urban geology is the study of urban geologic environments to provide a scientific basis for rational land use planning and urban development and provides information on geologic environments as a basis for city planners. Based on AEG recommendations, urban geological studies covered the urbanism and historical backgrounds, geological setting, engineering geological constraints and environmental assessments of understudied cities. The aim of this study is to provide a good view of urban geology of Tabriz city the capital of East Azerbaijan province in Iran. The topics of discussions about Tabriz city urban geology are included geologic (geomorphology, geology, climatology and hydrogeology), engineering geological (earthquake, landslide and geotechnical hazards investigations) and environmental characteristics (air, soil and water hazards assessment).The results of the urban geologic studies indicated that Tabriz city in terms of engineering geological and environmental constraints is at high risk potential and in terms of seismic activity and landslide instability is highly potential. In terms of air, soil and water pollution there are many important environmental concern in this city.

  • Pareto distribution is important to analyze data in actuarial sciences, reliability, finance, and climatology. In general, unknown parameters of the Pareto distribution are estimated based on the maximum likelihood method that may yield inadequate inference results for small sample sizes and high percent censored data. In this paper, a new approach based on the regression framework is proposed to estimate unknown parameters of the Pareto distribution under the progressive Type-II censoring scheme. The proposed method provides a new regression type estimator that employs the spacings of exponential progressive Type-II censored samples. In addition, the provided estimator is a consistent estimator with superior performance compared to maximum likelihood estimators in terms of the mean squared error and bias. The validity of the proposed method is assessed through Monte Carlo simulations and real data analysis.

  • The trajectories of 8 autonomous profiling floats deployed in the Kuroshio Extension region in February 2001 are used to depict the circulation pattern at the surface and 2000db. The corresponding sea surface topography maps created from satellite altimeter and dynamic height climatology were compared with the tracks of nearly coincident floats and were found to agree well in most cases except for the period June 5 to 16 2001. It is shown that over the period the conspicuous breakaway of the floats from an expected path is possibly associated with the abnormal path of the Kuroshio Extension such as an outbreak event, as revealed by AVHRR infrared and SeaWiFS chlorophyll-a images and cruise data in cross sections.

  • Public services need to be evaluated regularly to identify areas that need further improvement. Data collection via Twitter is affordable and timely, so it has the potential to be utilized to evaluate the quality of public service. This study utilizes tweets mentioning three service units of the provincial government of Jakarta and applies both sentiment analysis and topic classification to predict a rating/score of public service quality. The research goal is to examine if the evaluation of public services based on social media data is possible. The findings indicate that the use of Twitter has an advantage in terms of sample size and variety of opinions. Tweets can be translated into scores as well. Nonetheless, the representativeness issue and the predominance of complaint tweets can affect the reliability of the results.

  • The influence of drought has increased due to global warming. In addition, forest fires have occurred more frequently due to droughts and resulted in property losses and casualty. In this study, the effects of drought on Goseong-Sokcho Forest Fire in 2019 were analyzed using high-resolution synthetic precipitation data. In order to determine the severity of drought, the average, 20%tile and 80%ile values were calculated using the synthetic precipitation data of the past 30 years and compared with the current climatology. We have investigated the multi-year accumulated precipitation data to determine the persistence of drought. In Goseong-Sokcho forest fire case, the two-year cumulative synthetic precipitation data shows a similar value to the climate, but the three-year cumulative synthetic precipitation data was close to the 20%ile lines of the climate value. It may expose that the shortage of precipitation in 2017 had persisted until 2019, despite abundant precipitation during the summer in 2018. Therefore, Goseong-Sokcho forest fire might be spread more rapidly by drought which has been persisted since 2017.
