The analytical model of the ground wave can be used for the prediction of the noise level from a source above a plain and homogeneous ground surface with no obstacles nearby. Sound propagation along the surface of the ground can be affected by the roughness of the ground surface and the direction of the wind. The effects of the ground surface and the wind can be formulated in terms of the ground coefficient and the noise source parameter. Upward and downward conditions can also be addressed by considering the direction of the wind. The ground coefficient and the noise source parameter are estimated using the measured noise levels of two points under particular environmental condition, and the noise levels of arbitrary points under the same environmental condition can be estimated. The proposed method can be utilized to estimate the noise level of specific noise environment and its validity was confirmed with the results of actual field measurement.

NMPB 2008을 포함한 일부 소음 예측식에서는 기상학적 요소를 고려할 수 있다. 특히 NMPB 2008을 이용하여 소음을 예측할 경우에는 기상학적인 요소의 고려는 필수적이다. 하지만, 우리나라의 실제 기상 상황을 반영할 수 있는 방법이 없는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 기상학적 요소를 적용하기 위해서 하향 굴절 발생 빈도를 적용하여 소음도를 비교하였다. 기상학적 요소의 하향 굴절 발생 빈도의 증가에 따라 소음도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였고, 1kHz 이상의 주파수에서 거리에 따른 소음도의 차이에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 기상학적 요소의 적용은 예측 소음도의 정확도를 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다.

Long-term wave distribution at Jeju sea is investigated by a numerical simulation based on the thirdgeneration wave model SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore). The Jeju sea which retains relatively high wave energy density among Korean coastal regions is considered to be a suitable site for wave power generation and the efficiency of wave power generation is closely related to local wave characteristics. The monthly mean of a large-scale long-term wave data from 1979 to 2002, which is provided by Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute. is used as the boundary condition of SWAN model simulation with 1km grid. An analysis of wave distribution concentrates on the seasonal variation and spatial distribution of significant wave heights, mean wave directions and mean wave periods. Significant wave heights are higher in winter and summer and the west sea of Jeju appears relatively higher than east's. The highest significant wave height occurs at the northeast sea in winter and the second highest significant wave height appears at the southeast sea in summer, while the significant wave heights in spring and autumn are relatively low but homogeneous. The distribution of wave directions reveals that except the rear region influenced by wave refraction, the northwest wave direction is dominant in summer and the southeast in winter. Wave periods are longer in summer and winter and the west sea of Jeju appears relatively longer than east's. The longest wave period occurs at the west sea in winter, and in summer it appears relatively homogeneous with a little longer period at the south sea.
