중력계는 주로 지하 광물자원 탐사 및 지구조석과 같은 장주기 이벤트를 관측하는데 사용되고 있다. 최근 연구자들은 이 중력계를 이용하여 대형 원거리 지진 및 지진상시잡음 관측과 같은 몇몇 새롭고 흥미로운 사실들을 발견하였다. Micro-g LaCoste사의 gPhone에 적용된 zero-length spring suspension 기술은 초저주파 신호도 훌륭히 관측 가능하게 하며, 이는 Earth's hum이나 심지어 대형 지진해일 등을 관측하는데 큰 도움을 줄 수 있음을 시사한다. 이 연구에서는 충남 금산에서 2008년 11월 부터 2009년 7월까지 9개월간 임시로 설치/운영하였던 gPhone 자료를 분석하여 원거리 대형 지진관측 및 상시지진잡음의 계절적 변화에 관한 사전결과를 보고하고자 한다.

This study investigates the impact of increased adoption of eco-friendly vehicles on ozone (O₃) concentrations in South Korea, utilizing the community multiscale air quality (CMAQ) model. In the summer of 2017 (June-August), we conducted two experiments: a BASE experiment, representing baseline emissions, and an R_30 experiment, involving a 30% emission reduction due to eco-friendly vehicles. The contrast between these experiments reveals that, while most air pollutants decreased with reduced vehicle emissions, O₃ concentrations surprisingly increased (up to 2.1 parts per billion) across South Korea. A further examination of O₃ concentration changes was conducted by analyzing daytime and nighttime variations as well as wind direction. During the daytime, O₃ concentrations notably rose near metropolitan areas due to reduced O₃ titration (O₃ + NO → O₂ + NO₂) resulting from emission reductions. At nighttime, O₃ concentrations exhibited a greater increase, attributed to the transport of daytime-generated O₃ to rural regions. Notably, the impact of reduced emissions in metropolitan areas on O₃ concentrations in downwind areas varied depending on the prevailing wind direction. These findings highlight that the promotion of eco-friendly vehicles, though effective in lowering certain air pollutants, might not directly influence O₃ concentrations. This study underscores the need to comprehensively understand the complicated chemistry of O₃ to develop effective strategies for air quality management.

The prediction skills of stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) events and its impacts on the tropospheric prediction skills in global seasonal forecasting system version 5 (GloSea5), an operating subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) model in Korea Meteorological Administration, are examined. The model successfully predicted SSW events with the maximum lead time of 11.8 and 13.2 days in terms of anomaly correlation coefficient (ACC) and mean squared skill score (MSSS), respectively. The prediction skills are mainly determined by phase error of zonal wave-number 1 with a minor contribution of zonal wavenumber 2 error. It is also found that an enhanced prediction of SSW events tends to increase the tropospheric prediction skills. This result suggests that well-resolved stratospheric processes in GloSea5 can improve S2S prediction in the troposphere.

한반도 남서부 목포시에서 서쪽으로 약 90 km 지점에 위치한 흑산도의 소규모 화강암질 관입체로부터 분리한 저어콘에 대한 SHRIMP U-Pb 연대측정 결과 $113.9{\pm}1.2$(n=16) Ma의 정치연령을 얻었다. 백악기 앱티안-알비안 경계시기에는 한반도 거의 전역에서 화성활동이 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 중국 동부와 일본에서도 동일한 시기의 화성활동이 나타난 것으로 보고되었다. 평평한 각도로 일어난 섭입작용에 이은 엽렬에 의해 이처럼 일시적이지만 동아시아의 매우 넓은 지역에서 동시적인 화성활동을 만들어내었을 가능성이 있다.

This study presents the long-term variability of spring precipitation over the Korean peninsula. It is found that the significant interdecadal change in the spring precipitation has occurred around year 1991. Over the Korean peninsula the precipitation for the post-1991 period increased by about 30 mm per year in CMAP and station-measured data compared to the precipitation prior to year 1991. Due to an increased baroclinicity during the later period, the low-level negative pressure anomaly has developed with its center over northern Japan. Korea is situated at the western end of the negative pressure anomaly, receiving moisture from westerly winds and producing more precipitation. Also, we estimate the change in the near future (years 2020~2040) spring precipitation using six best performing Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 3 (CMIP3) models. These best model ensemble mean shows that spring precipitation is anticipated to increase by about 4% due to the strengthened westerlies accompanied by the northwestern enhancement of the North Pacific subtropical high.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical and adsorptive characteristics of black carbon (BC) materials for cesium in case of severe nuclear accidents. The BC was prepared with a xylem of oak and pine trees incompletely combusted with different ramp rate and final temperature. Carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atomic ratios, BET, pore structure, and zeta potential were characterized for the produced BC. A low cesium concentration ($C_w{\approx}10^{-7}M$) was used for sorption batch experiments. The H/C and O/C ratios of BC decreased with the increase of final temperature, which indicates a carbonization of the wood materials regardless of ramp rate and tree species. However, SEM images showed different pore structures depending on tree species such as steric and plate-like for oak-BC and pine-BC, respectively. The greatest sorption distribution coefficients of $K_{d,Cs}{\approx}1,200{\sim}1,800L\;kg^{-1}$ were observed for the oak-BC produced at $400^{\circ}C$, while comparatively low $K_{d,Cs}$ < $100L\;kg^{-1}$ for pine-BC. In addition, the sorption capabilities of BC declined with the increase of combustion temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$, because high temperature destroyed surface functionalities with the rise of ash components in the BC. Therefore, the sorption processes of BC for radioactive cesium are predominantly controlled by final production temperature of BC as well as raw materials (e.g., tree species).

희토류 원소(rare earth elements, REEs)는 유사한 물리적·화학적 성질을 가지고 있어 지질학적 환경변화를 해석하는 유용한 도구로 사용되고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 2018년 1월 한 달간 북경 및 광주광역시에서 포집된 초미세먼지 내 희토류 원소의 특성을 비교하였다. 북경 및 광주 초미세먼지 내 총 희토류 원소 농도는 북경이 광주보다 약 16배 높았으며 두 지역 모두 경희토류가 중희토류에 비해 8-10배 이상 부화되었다. Post Archean Australian Shale (PAAS) 표준화 분포 패턴을 통해 북경과 광주 초미세먼지는 Eu, Tb, Er이 다른 원소보다 부화된 양상을 보였고, 두 지역 모두 양(+)의 Eu 이상치와 음(-)의 Ce 이상치가 나타났다. 희토류 원소 간 상관관계를 통해 북경과 광주의 초미세먼지는 중국 사막 및 황토 고원과 북경 주변 도시(Zhangbei, Fengning, Miyun)의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 연구를 통해 초미세먼지 내 희토류 원소는 국가 간 미세먼지의 차이를 밝힐 수 있는 중요한 지시자로 활용될 수 있으며, 국내 미세먼지 기원 및 이동에 대한 보다 명확한 정보를 제공하는 유용한 도구로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, numerical simulations using community multiscale air quality (CMAQ) were conducted to analyze the change in ozone (O₃) concentration due to the reduction in nitrogen oxides (NO_x)andvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in Busan. When the NO_x and, VOCs emissions were reduced by 40% and, 31%, respectively, the average O₃ concentration increased by 4.24 ppb, with the highest O₃ change observed in the central region (4.59 ppb). This was attributed to the decrease in O₃ titration by nitric oxide (NO) due to the reduction of NO_x emissions in Busan, which is classified as a VOCs-limited area. The distribution of O₃ concentration changes was closely related to NO_x emissions per area, and inland emissions were highly correlated with daily maximum concentrations and 8-h average O₃ concentrations. Contrastingly, the effect of emission reduction depended on the wind direction. This suggests that the emission reduction effects may vary depending on the environmental conditions. Further research is needed to comprehensively analyze the emission reduction effects in Busan.
