The influence of water temperature (WT) on air temperature (AT) in the eastern and western coastal regions of the Korean peninsula in the winter was investigated using historical data from the Korean Meteorological Agency (KMA) and the National Institute of Fisheries Science (NIFS), focusing on the relationship between AT and WT. The data analysis shows that, during winter, the AT is generally higher by +1.9 to $+2.7^{\circ}C$ at Kangreung ($37.2^{\circ}N$) in the eastern region than at Inchon ($37.4^{\circ}N$) in the western region, i.e., the AT in the eastern region of the Korean Peninsula tends to be higher overall than that in the western region when similar latitudes are compared. On the other hand, in the winters of 1977-2006, the WT at Sokcho was higher by $+0.8^{\circ}C$ (January) to $+2.3^{\circ}C$ (March) than that at Sochungdo, directly resulting in increased AT ($+1.22^{\circ}C$) at Sokcho. This study suggests that higher AT in the eastern region during winter is caused by the influence of water flow, such as the East Korean Warm Current in the East/Japan Sea.

최근 중국에 있어서 지속적 발전을 위한 중요한 이슈로 도시화가 대두되고 있다. 다른 국가와 마찬가지로 중국의 도시화도 국내시장의 발전, 산업구조의 개선 그리고 지역간, 도 농간 소득격차의 축소와 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있다. 본 연구는 중국의 성시 중에서 가장 먼저 해외투자가 진행되었고 그로 인하여 각종 산업이 상대적으로 빨리 발전한 동부해안지역과 중국지역전체(통합)를 대상으로 하여 이들 지역 및 전체의 도시화와 경제성장의 관계를 분석하여 Williamson의 가설이 적용되는 지를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 연구대상지역의 횡단면 자료와 시계열 자료를 활용하였다. 본 연구의 결과 10개 성 시(城 市)자료를 사용한 동부지역은 경제성장에 대한 도시화의 영향이 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다. 회귀분석의 결과는 추정방법에 관계없이 Williamson가설이 명확하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 분석결과는 경제성장에 대한 도시화의 영향이 중국의 동부해안지역에서 역 U자형이 아님을 보여주었다. 한편 중국통합모형에서도 비슷한 결과를 보여주고 있어 아직도 도시화가 경제성장에 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 판단할 수 있다.

The formation of a severe snow storm occurred in the mountainous coastal region near Mt. Taegualyang and Kangnung city in the eastern part of Korea was investigate from 0900LST, December 7 through 9, 2002, using MM5 model. As synoptic scale easterly wind induced a great amount of moisture from the East Sea into the inland coastal region and sea-breeze further induced more moisture from the basin toward the top of the mountain side. The lifted moisture toward the mountain top was cooled down along the eastern slope of the mountain and near the mid of the mountain the moisture was much cooled down with relative humidity of 100％ under the air temperature below $O^{\circ}C$, resulting in the formation of snow. Relative humidity of 100％ generally occurred at the 5km away from the coast toward the inland mountain and the band of 100％ RH was parallel to the coastal line. The 100％ band coincided with minimum air temperature band and line.

수심이 낮고 대륙붕의 경사가 완만하여 빙기의 저해수면기에 하천의 길이가 크게 연장되었던 서해안지역에 있어서, 웅천천과 같은 소하천의 경우 후빙기의 유로는 빙기 유로의 최상류부와 중복된다. 이 경우 주로 상류부에 분포하는 빙기 형성의 기후단구와 하류부에 발달되는 간빙기 형성의 해면변동단구가, 동해안의 하천에서와는 달리, 현 하천의 상류부와 하류부의 어디에나 나타날 수 있다 따라서 동해안에서는 가능한, 교차단구의 개념을 이용한 제4기의 환경변화 및 지형발달과정 고찰이, 서해안의 소하천에서는 불가능하게 될 것으로 생각된다. 웅천천 유역의 제4기 단구지형 연구에 있어서는 단구 구성층의 퇴적상으로부터 유량의 대소를 판정하여 빙기와 간빙기의 지형면을 동정하고, 여기에 지형면의 하상비고, 퇴적물의 풍화도와 고토양 등을 이용하여 지형면의 신구관계를 대비하는 방법이 효과적일 것으로 생각된다. 웅천천 유역에 발달되어 있는 하상비고 80m, 50${\sim}$60m, 40${\sim}$45m, 30m, 25m(?), 15${\sim}$20m, 10m의 원력으로 구성되는 하성단구는 동해안 하천의 간빙기 해면변동단구에 해당되는것 같다. 따라서 이 수치들은 바로 당시의 구정선 고도로 해석될 수 있다. 이들 구정선의 수와 절대 고도만으로 볼때, 동. 서해안 간에 있어서 제 4기 구정선의 수와 고도는 대략 일치하는 것으로 보인다. 특히 웅천천 유역의 저위의 두 단구(15~20m와 10m 지형면)는 퇴적물의 풍화도와 고화도, 적색토의 발달 상태 및 토색 등에 있어서 동해안 지역의 최종 간빙기 극상기와 후기의 지형면과 잘 대비된다. 이는 이 두지형면보다 상위에 분포하는 동. 서해안의 지형면들도 상호 대비될 가능성이 높음을 시사한다. 본 연구의 결과 서해안의 제4기 구정선 고도 분포가 상향 수정될 가능성이 높아졌다. 그리고 적어도 웅천천 유역에 분포하는 최고위 하성단구의 형성기 이후에는 한반도의 동. 서해안이 거의 같은 양의 지반융기를 받았을 가능성도 높아졌다.

Insect fauna in adjacent areas of Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea was surveyed seasonally in $2001{\sim}2003$. The survey area was divided into 3 regions (eastern mountain, middle inland, and western coastal regions) in accordance with administrative districts and topography. Sampling methods such as sweeping, sieving, beating, brushing and suction were used depending on the environmental and military conditions. Total 361 genera and 437 species of 116 families belonging to 14 orders were identified. Among these, 46 species were new to insect fauna of DMZ areas. Species richness was the highest in the eastern mountain region. Numbers of habitat-common and -specific species were 96 (22%) and 195 (47.2%), respectively. The insect species community similarity was highest (0.64) between eastern mountain region and western coastal region. Insect orders showing high species richness were Coleoptera (38.9%), Lepidoptera (19.2%), Orthoptera (9.4%), and Hemiptera (9.2%). These results will be useful information for study of history on the change of insect fauna and future conservation in DMZ areas.

In this study, the effects of high-resolution land cover on the simulation of near-surface meteorological fields were evaluated in two different coastal regions using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. These analyses were performed using the middle classification land cover data upgraded by the Korean Ministry of Environment (KME). For the purpose of this study, two coastal areas were selected as follows: (1) the southwestern coastal (SWC) region characterized by complex shoreline and (2) the eastern coastal (EC) region described a high mountain and a simple coastline. The result showed that the application of high-resolution land cover were found to be notably distinguished between the SWC and EC regions. The land cover improvement has contributed to generate the realistic complex coastline and the distribution of small islands in the SWC region and the expansion of urban and built-up land along the sea front in the EC region, respectively. The model study indicated that the improvement of land cover caused a temperature change on wide areas of inland and nearby sea for the SWC region, and narrow areas along the coastal line for the EC region. These temperature variations in the two regions resulted in a decrease and an increase in land-breeze and sea-breeze intensity, respectively (especially the SWC region). Interestingly, the improvement of land cover can contribute large enough to change wind distributions over the sea in coastal areas.

The effects of high-resolution wind profiler (HWP) data on the wind distributions were evaluated in two different coastal areas during the study period (23-26 August, 2007), indicating weak-gradient flows. The analysis was performed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system. For the comparison purpose, two coastal regions were selected as: a southwestern coastal (SWC) region characterized by a complex shoreline and a eastern coastal (EC) region surrounding a simple coastline and high mountains. The influence of data assimilation using the HWP data on the wind distributions in the SWC region was moderately higher than that of the EC region. In comparison between the wind speed and direction in the two coastal areas, the application of the HWP data contributed to improvement of the wind direction distribution in the SWC region and the wind strength in the EC region, respectively. This study suggests that the application of the HWP data exerts a large impact on the change in wind distributions over the sea and thus can contribute to the solution to lack of satellite and buoy data with their observational uncertainty.

Objectives This study was conducted to describe the regional malaria incidence in relation to the geographic and climatic conditions and describe the effect of altitude on the expansion of malaria over the last decade in Papua New Guinea. Methods Malaria incidence was estimated in five provinces from 1996 to 2008 using national health surveillance data. Time trend of malaria incidence was compared with rainfall and minimum/maximum temperature. In the Eastern Highland Province, time trend of malaria incidence over the study period was stratified by altitude. Spatio-temporal pattern of malaria was analyzed. Results Nationwide, malaria incidence was stationary. Regionally, the incidence increased markedly in the highland region (292.0/100000/yr, p =0.021), and remained stationary in the other regions. Seasonality of the malaria incidence was related with rainfall. Decreasing incidence of malaria was associated with decreasing rainfall in the southern coastal region, whereas it was not evident in the northern coastal region. In the Eastern Highland Province, malaria incidence increased in areas below 1700 m, with the rate of increase being steeper at higher altitudes. Conclusions Increasing trend of malaria incidence was prominent in the highland region of Papua New Guinea, while long-term trend was dependent upon baseline level of rainfall in coastal regions.

The investigation of driving mechanism for the formation of tropical night in the coastal region, defined as persistent high air temperature over than 25$^{\circ}C$ at night was carried out from August 14 through 15, 1995. Convective boundary layer (CBL) of a 1 km depth with big turbulent vertical diffusion coefficients is developed over the ground surface of the inland basin in the west of the mountain and near the top of the mountain, while a depth of thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) like CBL shrunken by relatively cool sea breeze starting at 100 km off the eastern sea is less than 150 m from the coast along the eastern slope of the mountain. The TIBL extends up to the height of 1500 m parallel to upslope wind combined with valley wind and easterly sea breeze from the sea. As sensible heat flux convergences between the surface and lower atmosphere both at the top of mountain and the inland coast are much greater than on the coastal sea, sensible heat flux should be accumulated inside both the TIBL and the CBL near the mountain top and then, accumulated sensible heat flux under the influence of sea breeze circulation combined with easterly sea breeze from sea to inland and uplifted valley wind from inland to the mountain top returning down toward the eastern coastal sea surface should be transported into the coast, resulting in high air temperatures near the coastal inland. Under nighttime cooling of ground surface after sunset, mountain wind causes the daytime existed westerly wind to be an intensified westerly downslope wind and land breeze further induces it to be strong offshore wind. No sensible heat flux divergence or very small flux divergence occurs in the coast, but the flux divergences are much greater on the top of the mountain and along its eastern slope than on the coastal inland and sea surfaces. Thus, less cooling down of the coastal surface than the mountain surface and sensible heat transfer from warm pool over the coast into the coastal surface produce nocturnal high air temperature on the coastal inland surfaces, which is not much changed from daytime ones, resulting in the persistence of tropical night (nocturnal thermal high) until the early in the morning.
