In the summer of 2018, the Korea-Japan (KJ) region experienced an extremely severe and prolonged heatwave. This study examines the GloSea6 model's prediction performance for the 2018 KJ heatwave event and investigates how its prediction skill is related to large-scale circulation patterns identified by the k-means clustering method. Cluster 1 pattern is characterized by a KJ high-pressure anomaly, Cluster 2 pattern is distinguished by an Eastern European high-pressure anomaly, and Cluster 3 pattern is associated with a Pacific-Japan pattern-like anomaly. By analyzing the spatial correlation coefficients between these three identified circulation patterns and GloSea6 predictions, we assessed the contribution of each circulation pattern to the heatwave lifecycle. Our results show that the Eastern European high-pressure pattern, in particular, plays a significant role in predicting the evolution of the development and peak phases of the 2018 KJ heatwave approximately two weeks in advance. Furthermore, this study suggests that an accurate representation of large-scale atmospheric circulations in upstream regions is a key factor in seasonal forecast models for improving the predictability of extreme weather events, such as the 2018 KJ heatwave.

폭염의 발생 메커니즘은 대부분 종관 규모적 관점에서 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 폭염발생 이전의 또 다른 자연재해로 인한 연쇄적인 영향을 해석하기 위한 연구도 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 폭염 발생 이전에 나타나는 가뭄과의 인과관계 및 영향을 평가하기 위해 부분최소제곱 구조방정식 모형(PLS-SEM)을 이용하였다. 1974년부터 약 46년간 발생한 여름철 폭염에 미치는 계절별 가뭄의 영향정도는, 겨울철 서울(경기)지역은 37%, 강원지역은 21 %, 충청지역은 17 %이며, 봄철 서울(경기)지역은 29 %, 강원지역은 18 %, 충청지역은 8 %이며, 여름철 서울(경기)지역은 22 %, 강원지역은 29 %, 충청지역 38 %로 확인되었다. 이는 지역별로 나타나는 폭염과 계절별 가뭄이 미치는 영향의 정도가 다르기 때문에 따라 나타나는 결과로 해석된다. 여름철 가뭄-폭염 간의 영향이 크게 나타난 강원, 충청 지역은 서울(경기)지역에 비해 가뭄-폭염으로 인한 피해양상이 복합적으로 나타날 가능성이 있다.

This study evaluates the long-term seasonal predictability of summer (June, July and August) heatwaves over South Korea using 30-year (1989~2018) Hindcast data of the Pusan National University Coupled General Circulation Model (PNU CGCM)-Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) chain. Heatwave indices such as Number of Heatwave days (HWD), Heatwave Intensity (HWI) and Heatwave Warning (HWW) are used to explore the long-term seasonal predictability of heatwaves. The prediction skills for HWD, HWI, and HWW are evaluated in terms of the Temporal Correlation Coefficient (TCC), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Skill Scores such as Heidke Skill Score (HSS) and Hit Rate (HR). The spatial distributions of daily maximum temperature simulated by WRF are similar overall to those simulated by NCEP-R2 and PNU CGCM. The WRF tends to underestimate the daily maximum temperature than observation because the lateral boundary condition of WRF is PNU CGCM. According to TCC, RMSE and Skill Score, the predictability of daily maximum temperature is higher in the predictions that start from the February and April initial condition. However, the PNU CGCM-WRF chain tends to overestimate HWD, HWI and HWW compared to observations. The TCCs for heatwave indices range from 0.02 to 0.31. The RMSE, HR and HSS values are in the range of 7.73 to 8.73, 0.01 to 0.09 and 0.34 to 0.39, respectively. In general, the prediction skill of the PNU CGCM-WRF chain for heatwave indices is highest in the predictions that start from the February and April initial condition and is lower in the predictions that start from January and March. According to TCC, RMSE and Skill Score, the predictability is more influenced by lead time than by the effects of topography and/or terrain feature because both HSS and HR varies in different leads over the whole region of South Korea.

해양의 고수온 현상은 지구온난화로 인한 주요 문제 중 하나로, 식량 자원의 감소와 해양 탄소 흡수력의 저하 등, 해양 생태계와 인류에게 직접적인 위협으로 부상하고 있다. 따라서, 한반도 주변 해역에서의 고수온 예측은 해양 환경 모니터링 및 관리에 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 역학 모델 기반 한반도 고수온 예측 시스템의 성긴 해양의 수직격자체계로 인한 고수온 예측의 과소모의를 개선하기 위해 LSTM 모델을 개발하였다. 2023년에 대해 수행된 한반도 고수온 예측 시스템의 고수온 예측 결과와 LSTM 모델의 결과를 기반으로 한반도 주변의 동해 해역, 황해 해역 그리고 남해 해역에서의 고수온 예측 성능을 평가했다. 본 연구에서 개발된 LSTM 모델이 세 영역 모두에서 수온이 상승하는 시기에 수온 예측 성능을 크게 개선하는 것으로 나타났으며, 수온 상승이 시작되기 전이나 하강하는 시기에는 예측 성능의 개선 효과가 미미했다. 이는 LSTM 모델이 성층이 강화되는 환경에서 성긴 수직격자로 인해 발생하는 고수온 예측의 과소모의를 개선할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다. 향후 역학 모델의 예측 성능 개선이나 역학 모델의 대체에 자료기반 인공지능 모델의 활용성이 확대될 것으로 기대한다.

폭염과 도시열섬현상은 기후변화가 진행됨에 따라 피해가 더욱 커지고 있으며, 2050년까지 폭염 발생빈도는 2~6배가 증가될 것으로 예측된다. 특히, 폭염기간동안 건설공사현장에서의 근로자가 느끼는 더위체감지수는 매우 높으며, 도시열섬현상까지 고려하게 되면 체감지수는 더욱 높아진다. 열에 취약한 건설현장 환경과 건설근로자의 상황은 나아지지 않고 있으며, 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 효과적인 대응이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 인공위성영상 이미지와 Land Surface Temperature (LST)와 Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) 딥러닝 모델 기법을 적용하여 33℃ 이상 온도가 되는 지역을 분석하고, 폭염에 취약한 건설공사현장을 식별하여 폭염 및 도시열섬현상의 복합적인 피해를 가중시킬 수 있는 가장 취약한 지역을 예측하여 도출하였다. 예측 결과를 통해 건설근로자의 안전을 보장하고, 건설현장 경보시스템의 기반이 될 수 있기를 기대한다.

According to a NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies report, temperatures have risen by approximately 1℃ so far, based on temperatures recorded in 1880. The 2003 heatwave in Europe affected approximately 35,000 people across Europe. In this study, a cooling fog, which is used in smart cities, was designed to efficiently reduce the temperature during a heatwave and its pilot test results were interpreted. A model experiment of the cooling fog was conducted using a chamber, in which nano mist spray instruments and spray nozzles were installed. The designed cooling fog chamber model showed a temperature reduction of up to 13.8℃ for artificial pavement and up to 8.0℃ for green surfaces. However, this model was limited by constant wind speed in the experiment. Moreover, if the cooling fog is used when the wind speed is more than 3m/s in the active green zone, the temperature reduction felt by humans is expected to be even greater. As a second study, the effect of cooling fog on temperature reduction was analyzed by installing a pilot test inside the Land Housing Institute (LHI). The data gathered in this research can be useful for the study of heat reduction techniques in urban areas.

The objective of this study was to evaluate how the tank colours may change the effects of extreme temperature on the survival, growth, and quality of juvenile golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus). The experiment was set up with fifteen treatments of five tank colours (blue, red, yellow, grey, and white) and three temperatures (30℃, 32℃, 34℃) with three replications. Fish performance was assessed for four weeks. The results showed that tank colours and elevated temperatures affected the quality of golden trevally juveniles. The survival and growth rate of fish tend to decrease gradually, but the deformation rate of fish tended to increase in the order of tank colours: red, yellow > grey, blue, and white. The growth and survival rate of fish gradually decreased when the rearing temperature increased from 30℃ to 34℃ and this effect was independent of tank colors. Importantly, the deformation rate increased under elevated temperature, particularly in blue and white tanks with potential long-term effects. It is, therefore, not recommended to use blue and white tanks for rearing the golden trevally juveniles, particularly during extremely high temperatures from heatwave events.

Objectives: The objective of study was to calculate the municipal level environmental burden of disease (EBD) due to heat wave. Methods: The data used were Korea National Health Insurance 2011 claim data and 2011 death registry. Heatwave related diseases included hypertensive heart diseases, ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular disease, and heat related illness. According to the method that WHO proposed, the study computed population-attributable fraction with relative risk which come from previous study and proportion of exposure which the study calculated with historical meteorology data. Results: The Average of 251 municipal EBD was 2.11 per thousand persons. The value of years lost due to disability was 11 times higher than that of years of life lost. On average EBD of county and southern geographical areas tended to be higher than those of District or city areas. The relationship between municipal deprivation index (composite deprivation index) and EBD showed the positive association, which means that the worse deprived municipal is, the higher EBD takes. Conclusions: Climate change is getting one of the major risk factors of cardio-cerebrovascular disease, which is the second leading cause of death. The study results suggested the urgent policy planning and reaction of climate change adaptation.

Outdoor sports activities have been restricted by serious air pollution, such as fine dust and yellow dust, and abnormal meteorological change, such as heatwave and heavy snow. These environmental problems have rapidly increased the demand for indoor sports activities. Virtual sports, such as virtual golf, virtual baseball, virtual soccer, etc., allow playing various sports games without going outdoors. Indoor sports industries and markets have seen rapid growth since the advent of virtual sports. Most virtual sports platforms use screen-based virtual reality techniques, which are why they are called screen sports. However, these platforms cannot support various sports games, especially virtual match games, such as squash, boxing, and so on, because existing screen-based virtual reality sports techniques use real balls and players. This article presents screen-based haptic-augmented reality technologies for a new virtual sports platform. The new platform does not use real balls and players to solve the limitations of previous platforms. Here, various technologies, including human motion tracking, human action recognition, haptic feedback, screen-based augmented-reality systems, and augmented-reality sports content, are unified for the new virtual sports platform. From these haptic-augmented reality technologies, the proposed platform supports sports games, including indoor virtual matches, that existing virtual sports platforms cannot support.
