To model the atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides released from nuclear accident is very important for nuclear emergency. But the uncertainty of model parameters, such as source term and meteorological data, may significantly affect the prediction accuracy. Data assimilation (DA) is usually used to improve the model prediction with the measurements. The paper proposed a parameter bias transformation method combined with Lagrangian puff model to perform DA. The method uses the transformation of coordinates to approximate the effect of parameters bias. The uncertainty of four model parameters is considered in the paper: release rate, wind speed, wind direction and plume height. And particle swarm optimization is used for searching the optimal parameters. Twin experiment and Kincaid experiment are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can effectively increase the reliability of model prediction and estimate the parameters. It has the advantage of clear concept and simple calculation. It will be useful for improving the result of atmospheric dispersion model at the early stage of nuclear emergency.

Weather conditions have played a vital role in a war. Many historical records reported that the miss use of weather information is the main reason of the lost a war. In this study we demonstrated the possibility of applying the numerical weather prediction system(NWPS) for military operations. The NWPS consists of PC-cluster as a super computer, data assimilation system ingesting many remote sensing observation, and graphic systems. High resolution prediction in NWPS can provide useful weather information such as wind, temperature, sea fog and so on for military operations.

In this study, a brief overview on a WMO/WWRP program - The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) and discussions on perspectives and potential benefits of Asian countries are provided. THORPEX is aimed at accelerating improvements in the accuracy of 1 to 14-day high-impact weather forecasts with research objectives of: 1) predictability and dynamical processes; 2) observing systems; 3) data assimilation and observing strategies; and 4) societal and economic applications. Direct benefits of Asian countries from THORPEX include improvement of: 1) forecast skills in global models, which exerts positive impact on mesoscale forecasts; 2) typhoon forecasts through dropwindsonde observations; and 3) forecast skills for high-impact weather systems via increased observations in neighboring countries. Various indirect benefits for scientific researches are also discussed. Extensive adaptive observation studies are recommended for all high-impact weather systems coming into the Korean peninsula, and enhancement of observations in the highly sensitive regions for the forecast error growth is required to improve forecast skills in the peninsula, possibly through international collaborations with neighboring countries.

Over the past 60 years, Korean numerical weather prediction (NWP) has advanced rapidly with the collaborative effort between the science community and the operational modelling center. With an improved scientific understanding and the growth of information technology infrastructure, Korea is able to provide reliable and seamless weather forecast service, which can predict beyond a 10 days period. The application of NWP has expanded to support decision making in weather-sensitive sectors of society, exploiting both storm-scale high-impact weather forecasts in a very short range, and sub-seasonal climate predictions in an extended range. This article gives an approximate chronological account of the NWP over three periods separated by breakpoints in 1990 and 2005, in terms of dynamical core, physics, data assimilation, operational system, and forecast application. Challenges for future development of NWP are briefly discussed.

The observation error of satellite radiation data that assimilated into the Korean Integrated Model (KIM) was diagnosed by applying the Hollingsworth and Lönnberg and Desrozier techniques commonly used. The magnitude and correlation of the observation error, and the degree of contribution for the satellite radiance data were calculated. The observation errors of the similar device, such as Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A shows different characteristics. The model resolution accounts for only 1% of the observation error, and seasonal variation is not significant factor, either. The observation error used in the KIM is amplified by 3-8 times compared to the diagnosed value or standard deviation of first-guess departures. The new inflation value was calculated based on the correlation between channels and the ratio of background error and observation error. As a result of performing the model sensitivity evaluation by applying the newly inflated observation error of ATMS, the error of temperature and water vapor analysis field were decreased. And temperature and water vapor forecast field have been significantly improved, so the accuracy of precipitation prediction has also been increased by 1.7% on average in Asia especially.

동해 해양자료동화시스템(DA-ESROM; Kim et al., 2009)을 이용하여 Argo 관측망이 해양 분석장에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 2009년을 연구기간으로 하여 수온 프로파일, 해수면 온도, 그리고 해수면 고도 자료를 동화하여 분석장을 생산하고(Exp. AllDa), 이를 Argo 수온 자료를 제외한 실험(Exp. NoArgo) 결과와 비교하였다. 동해 수온 프로파일 관측자료와 두 실험결과와의 평균 제곱근 오차(Root Mean Square Error; RMSE)를 살펴본 결과, Exp. AllDa의 결과에서 Exp. NoArgo에 비해 표층 이하부터 전반적으로 낮은 RMSE가 나타났고, 특히 수심 약 100 m 부근에서 약 $0.5^{\circ}C$의 RMSE 차이(Exp. AllDa - Exp. NoArgo)를 보이는 등 아표층 부근에서 Argo 수온 자료동화의 영향이 큰 결과를 보였다. 자료동화 과정에 독립적인 표류부이 관측자료와의 비교를 통해, Argo 수온 자료의 동화로 표층해류 정확도가 전반적으로 개선되는 것을 확인하였고, 특히 동해 중남부에서 상대적으로 장기 표류한 부이의 궤적을 따라 RMSE가 약 2.0~6.0 cm/s 정도 낮아졌다. 반면, 표층수온에 대해서는 Argo 수온자료의 동화효과는 약한 것으로 나타났고, 매일 동화되는 해수면 온도 자료의 영향이 지배적인 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 동해 해양자료동화시스템(DA-ESROM)은 일주일 간격으로 해수면 고도자료를 동화하지만, Argo 수온자료가 동화되지 않으면서 나타나는 해수면 고도 변화를 완전히 보정하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험결과, Argo 수온자료의 동화는 특히 야마토 분지 남서쪽의 시계방향 순환 등 동해 중남부 해역에서의 해수면 고도 재현성을 향상시키는데 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
