In order to determine the emplacement time and stratigraphic position of basaltic rocks in the central part of Pohang basin, palaeomagnetic investigations were conducted on 111 samples collected from 6 sites. Formation mean built from site-mean ChRM directions is $d=340.7^{\circ}$, $i=52.2^{\circ}$ (${\alpha}_{95}=6.0^{\circ}$, k=91) in the geographic coordinates. If "tilt" correction is applied regarding the plane perpendicular to the side walls of columnar joint as palaeohorizon, the formation mean becomes $d=328.7^{\circ}$, $i=43.8^{\circ}$ (${\alpha}_{95}=17.1^{\circ}$, k=13). It is to be noticed that the formation mean is deflected significantly (about $20{\sim}30^{\circ}$) counterclockwise from the Tertiary reference geomagnetic field of Eurasia, independent of "tilt" correction. This situation is very different from that of clockwise rotation of ChRM directions which has been ubiquitously observed in other Tertiary basins of south Korea, and indicates sinistral regional simple-shearing during the emplacement times of the basaltic rocks. Considering previous palaeomagnetic and AMS (anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) data from other Tertiary regions of south Korea, the time of this sinistral shearing should be 15 Ma or directly thereafter, and this time point represents inversion from extensional to compressional tectonic regime. Magnetic foliation data obtained in this study indicate WNW-ESN compression during or directly after emplacement of the basaltic rocks, while it has known from regional tectonic study that the time of the WNW-ESN compression is about 15 Ma, when SW Honshu was rotated and the Korean strait was narrowed.

Paleomagnetic investigations have been carried out on the Tertiary sedimentary formations (Yeonil Group) in Pohang basin, southeastern Korea. A total of 215 samples were collected from 26 sites. Progressive thermal demagnetization indicates that many samples have unstable magnetization and do not reveal a characteristic direction. However, some samples from the lower and upper Duho Formation show a characteristic direction $D/I=7.8^{\circ}/48.3^{\circ}$ (${\alpha}_{95}=3.7^{\circ}$, k=174.1). Stepwise thermal demagnetization data show that some samples from the Hagjeon and middle Duho Formations reveal great-circle distributions moving from the present to a reversed direction of geomagnetic field. The mean of intersection points of the great-circles is nearly antipodal to the characteristic normal direction of the lower and upper Duho Formation. We infer that the Hagjeon Formation was formed during the reversed polarity chron C5B (16.2~14.7 Ma) and the Duho Formation 14.7~11.6 Ma based on our results and previous paleontologic and age dating data. Paleomagnetic direction for the Middle Miocene of Korea, analysed from the combined results of stable endpoints and great circles, is $D/I=8.7^{\circ}/53.9^{\circ}$ (${\alpha}_{95}=4.2^{\circ}$, k=74.8), and the corresponding paleopole is Lat./Long.=$82.7^{\circ}/230.2^{\circ}$ (${\delta}p=2.8^{\circ}$, ${\delta}m=5.9^{\circ}$). On the basis of this, we interpret that the opening of the East sea (Japan sea) or the synchronous clockwise rotation of the Southwest Japan exerted no structural influence on the Yeonil Group in the Middle Miocene.

We report on development of a ground-based bi-axial Search-Coil Magnetometer (SCM) designed to measure time-varying magnetic fields associated with magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes. The instrument provides two-axis magnetic field wave vector data in the Ultra Low Frequency or ULF (1 mHz to 5 Hz) range. ULF waves are well known to play an important role in energy transport and loss in geospace. The SCM will primarily be used to observe generation and propagation of the subclass of ULF waves. The analog signals produced by the search-coil magnetic sensors are amplified and filtered over a specified frequency range via electronics. Data acquisition system digitizes data at 10 samples/s rate with 16-bit resolution. Test results show that the resolution of the magnetometer reaches $0.1pT/{\sqrt{Hz}}$ at 1 Hz, and demonstrate its satisfactory performance, detecting geomagnetic pulsations. This instrument is scheduled to be installed at the Korean Antarctic station, Jang Bogo, in the austral summer 2016-2017.

We have investigated the variations of sporadic E (Es) layer using the measurements of digisondes at Icheon ($37.14^{\circ}N$, $127.54^{\circ}E$, IC) and Jeju ($33.4^{\circ}N$, $126.30^{\circ}E$, JJ) in 2011-2018. The Es occurrence rate and its critical frequency (foEs) have peak values in summer at both IC and JJ in consistent with their known seasonal variations at mid-latitudes. The virtual height of the Es layer (h'Es) during equinox months is greater than that in other months. It may be related to the similar variation of meteor peak heights. The h'Es shows the semidiurnal variations with two peaks at early in the morning and late in the afternoon during equinoxes and summer. However, the semi-diurnal variation is not obvious in winter. The semi-diurnal variation is generally thought to be caused by the semi-diurnal tidal variation in the neutral wind shear, whose measurements, however, are rare and not available in the region of interest. To investigate the formation mechanism of Es, we have derived the vertical ion drift velocity using the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM) 14, International Geomagnetic Reference Field, and Naval Research Laboratory Mass Spectrometer and Incoherent Scatter Radar-00 models. Our results show that h'Es preferentially occur at the altitudes where the direction of the vertical ion velocity changes. This result indicates the significant role of ion convergence in the creation of Es.

철도나 지하철 역사의 경우 교통약자가 편리하게 역사 내 시설물을 이용할 수 있도록 주변 환경을 고려한 맞춤형 길 안내 서비스를 필요로 하는데, 현재 철도역에서 열차 승차, 환승 등이 복잡하다. 넓은 실내에서 안내는 대부분 표지판, 전광판 등을 통하거나, 안내데스크에서 직접 문의를 통하여 이루어지는 경우가 많다. 그러나, 장애인, 노약자 등 교통약자는 신체적 불편, 인지력 저하, 언어 소통의 불편함 등으로 역무원 등과 같이 주변 사람들의 직접적인 도움을 통하여 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 활용하던 개별 위치 측위 기법이 아닌 여러 형태의 다중 위치 측위 기법을 결합하는 AI 융·복합 측위 기술을 적용하여 교통약자 유형에 따라 최적화된 이동 가능한 경로 제공으로 맞춤형 실내 길안내서비스 제공방안을 연구하였다. 이처럼 철도역사 내에서 환승시설 등 복잡하고 넓은 실내 공간에서 교통약자의 보편적 이동편의 제공을 위해서 복잡한 철도역 환경에서도 안전하고 편리하게 장애 유형별 맞춤형 길 안내 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 시스템구축 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

We conducted a statistical study of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) in relation to magnetic local time (MLT), considering the geomagnetic conditions using the K-index (or K). Additionally, we performed a case study to examine the velocity profile, specifically for high velocities (≥ ~100 m/s) varying with high temporal resolution at high K-index values. This study utilized the PMSE data obtained from the mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere radar located in Esrange, Sweden (63.7°N, 21°E). The change in K-index in terms of MLT was high (K ≥ 4) from 23 to 04 MLT, estimated for the time PMSE was present. During the near-midnight period (0-4 MLT), both PMSE occurrence and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) displayed an asymmetric structure with upper curves for K ≥ 3 and lower curves for K < 3. Furthermore, the occurrence of high velocities peaked at 3-4 MLT for K ≥ 3. From case studies focusing on the 0-3 MLT period, we observed persistent eastward-biased high velocities (≥ 200 m/s) prevailing for ~18 min. These high velocities were accompanied with the systematic motion of profiles at 85-88 km, including large shear formation. Importantly, the rapid variations observed in velocity could not be attributed to neutral wind effects. The present findings suggest a strong substorm influence on PMSE, especially in the midnight and early dawn sectors. The large zonal drift observed in PMSE were potentially energized by local electromagnetic fields or the global convection field induced by the electron precipitation during substorms.

우주 방사선은 인공위성의 오동작을 유발하거나 수명을 단축하는 주된 요인 중 하나다. 반 알렌벨트라고 불리는 전하를 띤 고에너지 입자들이 지구 자기장에 포획된 공간은 이 지역에서 운용되는 인공위성뿐만 아니라, 지구 자기장을 따라 저고도까지 도달하므로 저궤도 위성들에게도 위협이 된다. 2003년 발사된 과학기술위성 1호에는 자세 제어를 위해 사용된 태양 센서가 탑재되었다. 태양 센서에는 빛을 감지하기 위한 검출기로 실리콘 태양 전지가 사용되었는데, 이 태양 전지의 합선 전류가 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하는 것이 관측되었다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 태양전지의 특성 변화가 어떠한 요인에 의해 발생하는지 지상에서의 방사능 실험을 통해 밝히고자 한다. 이를 위해 과학기술위성 1호에서 사용된 것과 동일한 태양 전지에 여러 에너지 대역의 고에너지 전자와 양성자를 조사하고 이 때 변하는 합선 전류를 측정하였다. 그리고 NOAA POES위성 데이터를 이용하여 과학기술위성 1호에 피폭되었을 방사선량을 예측하였다. 연구 결과, 과학기술위성 1호에 나타난 실리콘 태양 전지의 감쇠 현상은 700keV에서 1.5MeV의 에너지를 갖는 양성자에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 연구 결과는 우주에서 태양 전지의 수명을 예측하기 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

The application of magnetic method for archaeoprospection has been carried out through two archaeological areas in Egypt, Abydos and Abu Sir, In order to find out tile ancient Egyptian archaeological features. The magnetic work at the selected archaeological site of Abydos area was carried out by gradiometer survey, while magnetic work at the selected archaeological site of Abu Sir area was carried out by gradiometer survey and magnetic susceptibility measurements. A gradiometer survey with raster of 0.5 m/0.5 m has been carried out on a surface area of $9600 m^2$ at Abydos area to relocate the buried Solar Boats. The magnetic data were processed using Geoplot software to treat the field noises and enhance the quality of the obtained images. The final magnetic images indicate the existence of 12 Solar Boats as well as tombs, remains of ancient rooms and walls. All of them are expected to belong to the Middle Kingdom, particularly from the 18th to 20th Dynasties. Two magnetic tools have been applied over a selected site of $25600 m^2$ at Abu Sir area in order to detect the hidden archaeological features nearby the Sun Temple. The acquisition of the magnetic data was initiated by the measurements of the topsoil magnetic susceptibility of 272 samples collected from the whole studied area, and then followed by the gradiometer survey to measure tile vertical gradient of the geomagnetic field over an area of $14400 m^2$. The magnetic susceptibility results show the presence of high concentration at the middle part of the study area with a little extension to the south western side, with maximum value of about $36{\times}10^5$ SI. They may indicate the proximity of ritual monuments. Also, they offered the site of interest for carrying out a gradiometer survey. The gradiometer results show tile existence of numerous distributed archaeological features made of mud-bricks with different shapes and sizes. They may indicate tombs, burial rooms, dissected walls; all of them are expected to belong to the 5th Dynasty of pharaohs, who used to build their buildings by mud bricks. The depth of the expected buried archaeological features has been estimated from tihe gradiometer. It is around 1.2m for deep features and 0.42 m for shallow features.

2002년 11월에 발사된 과학로켓 KSR-111에 자세제어를 위한 정보 획득용 3축 Fluxgate 자력계 (AIM: Attitude Information Magnetometer)와 지구 자기장 섭동 측정용 Search-Coil 자력계(SIM: Scientific Investigation Magnetometer)가 탑재되었다. SIM은 지구 자기장 중 약 10～1,000Ha주파수 대의 섭동 현상을 관측한다. AIM을 통해 측정한 지구 자기장의 DC 벡터 성분을 지구 자기장의 기준 모델인 IGRF(International Geomagnetic Reference Field)와 비교하여 로켓의 위치와 비행 상태를 파악하는 프로그램 1과 KSR-Ⅲ에서 측정된 실제 데이터를 이용해 시간에 따른 회전 각의 변화를 알아보는 프로그램 2를 개발하였다. 알고리즘 개발시 자세제어의 요소로서 데이터 처리 속도, 로켓의 비행역학 등을 고려하였고, 이로 인한 오차를 감안하기 위해 최소자승법을 사용하였다. 프로그램 2를 실행하여 얻은 값으로(항우연 자료 비교분석한 결과 내용), 자력계를 로켓의 자세 제 어용으로는 부적합하나 붐(boom)이 장착된 로켓에 탑재할 경우 지구 상충의 자기장을 측정하여 분석할 수 있다. 또한 발사 전 로켓 몸체와 마운트의 자기장을 측정하여 로켓의 자기장'분포를 미리 모델링화 할 경우 자료 처리가 훨씬 용이하다.

Paleomagnetic study on the sedimentary rocks in the Choongnam Coal Field has been carried out to determine the direction of declination and inclination of NRM and position of paleomagnetic pole, and to investigate the geotectonism and geomagnetic stratigraphy of the sedimentary rocks in the Daedong Group. As a result of paleomagnetic study, the study area can be divided tectonically into two blocks by Baegunsa fault, namely northwestern and southeastern blocks. Site mean declination and inclination of Baegunsa and Seoungjuri Formations in the northwestern block are $23.2^{\circ}$ and $54.9^{\circ}$, respectively. Those of Amisan, Jogyeri, Baegunsa and Seoungjuri Formations in the southeastern block show normal direction with declination and inclination of $-22.1^{\circ}$ and $11.2^{\circ}$, and reversed direction with those of $158.5^{\circ}$ and $-12.6^{\circ}$, respectively. Average paleomagnetic pole position in the northwestern block is located at $212.9^{\circ}E$ and $71.1^{\circ}N$, and that in the southeastern block at $345.7^{\circ}E$ and $53.3^{\circ}N$. This difference suggests relative rotation of about $45^{\circ}$ between two blocks. The paleolatitude of Daedong Group at the time of sedimentation is $5.6^{\circ}N$ much lower than present latitude of $37.7^{\circ}N$. Compared with worldwide Mesozoic paleomagnetic polarity stratigraphy, Amisan Formation is correlated with the lower boundary of Nuanetsi reversal zone in Graham interval, and Baegunsa and Seoungjuri Formations are correlated with just upper part of the upper boundary of Nuanetsi reversal zone, and their geologic ages are Late Triassic to Early Jurassic. The position of paleomagnetic pole acquired from Daedong Group in the study area is different from those in other places. This may be attributed to the different tectonic movement by Daebo Orogeny occurred after the deposition of Daedong Group.
