Comet nucleus is a solid body consisting of dark dust grains and ice. Cometary volatiles sublimate from subsurface layer by solar heating, leaving behind large dust grains on the surface. Eventually, the appearance could turn into asteroidal rather than cometary. It is, therefore, expected that there would be "dormant comets" in the list of known asteroids. Our research group has undertaken the research on the population of dormant comets. We applied a brand-new asteroidal catalog compiled from data garnered by three infrared astronomical observatories, AKARI, IRAS and WISE. We extracted objects which have comet-like orbits on the basis of their orbital properties (Tisserand parameters with respect to Jupiter, TJ, and aphelion distance, Q). We found that (1) there are a considerable number (>100) of asteroids in comet-like orbits, and (2) 80% of them have low albedo consistent with comets. This result suggest that these low albedo objects could be dormant comets. One unanticipated finding is that 20% of asteroids in comet-like orbit have high albedo similar to S-type asteroids. It is difficult to explain the population of S-type asteroids in comet-like orbits by the classical mechanics theory. We further found that these high-albedo objects are small (D < 2 km) bodies distributed in near-Earth space. We suggest that such high-albedo, small, near-Earth asteroids are susceptible to Yarkovsky effect and injected into comet-like orbits.

Lubricant-impregnated nanoporous surfaces (LIS), which is created by impregnating water-immiscible oil into nanoporous surface structure, have been explored considering wide range of application fields. Due to the lubricant impregnated in nanoporous structure, the surface shows extreme de-wetting with a high mobility of water droplets, so that various functionalities can be realized. The lubricant layer inhibits the contact of corrosive media to porous structure as well as metal substrate, thus the surface improves the corrosion resistance. The water on the surface freeze without any contact to solid porous structure, showing a low ice adhesion for de-icing an anti-icing. The extremely high mobility of water droplets on lubricant-impregnated porous surfaces also contributes the enhancement of condensation heat transfer as well as water harvesting from fog and moisture. Moreover, the bacteria adhesion on metal surface forming biofilms causing serious hygiene issues can be inhibited on the lubricantimpregnated surfaces. Despite of such superior functionalities, the lubricant-impregnated porous surface has a limitation of lubricant depletion by external flow of fluids. Therefore, extensive efforts to improve the durability of lubricant-impregnated surface are required for practical applications.

Characteristics of snowfall and snow crystal habits have been investigated in the campaign of Experiment on Snow Storms At Yeongdong (ESSAY) using radiosonde soundings, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and a digital camera with a magnifier for taking a photograph of snowfall crystals. The analysis period is 6 to 14 February 2014, when the accumulated snowfall amount is 192.8 cm with the longest snowfall duration of 9 days. The synoptic situations are similar to those of the previous studies such as the Low pressure system passing by the far South of the Korean peninsula along with the Siberian High extending to northern Japan, which eventually results in the northeasterly or easterly flows and the long-lasting snowfall episodes in the Yeongdong region. In general, the ice clouds tended to exist below around 2~3 km with the consistent easterly flows, and the winds shifted to northerly~northwesterly above the clouds layer. The snow crystal habits observed in the ESSAY campaign were mainly dendrite, consisting of 70% of the entire habits. The rimed habits were frequently captured when two-layered clouds were observed, probably through the process of freezing of super-cooled droplets on the ice particles. The homogeneous habit such as dendrite was shown in case of shallow clouds with its thickness of below 500 m whereas various habits were captured such as dendrites, rimed dendrites, aggregates of dendrites, plates, rimed plates, etc in the thick cloud with its thickness greater than 1.5 km. The dendrites appeared to be dominant in the condition of cloud top temperature specifically ranging $-12{\sim}-16^{\circ}C$. However, the association of snow crystal habits with temperature and super-saturation in the cloud could not be examined in the current study. Better understandings of characteristics of snow crystal habits would contribute to preventing breakdown accidents such as a greenhouse destruction and collapse of a temporary building due to heavy snowfall, and traffic accidents due to snow-slippery road condition, providing a higher-level weather information of snow quality for skiers participating in the winter sports, and estimating more accurate snowfall amount, location, and duration with the fallspeed of solid precipitation.

The aircraft observation campaign was performed to investigate thermodynamic conditions of snowfall cloud over the East Sea of Korean peninsula from 2 February to 16 March 2018. During this period, four snowfall events occurred in the Yeongdong region and three cases were analyzed using dropsonde data. Snowfall cases were associated with the passage of southern low-pressure (maritime warm air mass) and expansion of northern high-pressure (continental polar air mass). Case 1 and Case 2a were related to low-pressure systems, and Case 2b and Case 3 were connected with high-pressure systems, respectively. And their thermodynamic properties and horizontal distribution of snowfall cloud were differed according to the influence of the synoptic condition. In Case 1 and Case 2a, atmospheric layers between sea surface and 350 hPa contained moisture more than 15 mm of TPW with multiple inversion layers detected by dropsonde data, while the vertical atmosphere of Case 2b and Case 3 were dry as TPW 5 mm or less with a single inversion inversion layer around 750~850 hPa. However, the vertical distributions of equivalent potential temperature (θ_e) were similar as moist-adiabatically neutral condition regardless of the case. But, their values below 900 hPa were about 10 K higher in Case 1 and Case 2a (285~290 K) than in Case 2b and Case 3 (275~280 K). The difference in these values is related to the characteristics of the incoming air mass and the location of the snowfall cloud.

풍혈지는 여름철에 너덜지대 사면의 암괴 틈에서 찬 공기가 스며 나오며, 또한 결빙현상을 보이는 국소적 저온환경을 형성하는 지역이다. 본 연구에서는 풍혈지에 대한 식물상적 조사를 바탕으로 식물지리학적 중요성과 보존의 필요성을 제시하고자 국내 주요 풍혈지 7개소에 대한 현지 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 풍혈지에서 한들고사리, 두메고사리 좀미역고사리, 월귤, 뚝지치 등 식물지리학적으로 중요한 다수의 북방계 식물들이 조사되었다. 또한 수직분포면에서도 산우드풀, 민둥인가목, 요강나물, 산새풀, 집사초와 같은 아고산식물들이 해발이 낮은 풍혈지에 생육하는 특이성을 보이고 있었다. 풍혈지는 빙하기에 남하했던 북방계 식물들이 최후빙기 이후 이주과정에서 국소적 기후환경에 적응, 고립되어 있는 피난처로 판단되어진다. 고피난처인 풍혈지는 기상학, 지형학적 중요성뿐만 아니라 식물지리학적으로도 아주 중요한 서식지 형태로 소집단으로 격리 분포하는 북방계 식물 종들에 대한 보존생물학적 연구를 통한 합리적인 현지내 외 보존대책의 수립이 시급하다고 판단된다.

남극 세종과학기지 주변은 넓은 지역에 눈과 얼음이 덮여있지 않은 육지가 드러나 다른 남극 지역에 비해 활동층이 비교적 두꺼우며 그 아래 동토층이 존재한다. 전기비저항탐사의 배열법 중 웨너 배열법과 쌍극자 배열법을 이용하여 세종과학기지 주변 동토 지역에 결빙기 기간 동안 시간 변화에 따른 활동층의 변화를 조사하였다. 시간 변화에 따른 전기비저항 결과는 식생 분포, 지상 온도 및 적설량의 상태에 따라 잘 일치하였다. 극 천부인 수평적인 고비저항대(>1826 Ωm)에서는 시간에 따른 두께 변화를 보여주었는데, 이는 지중 온도의 감소로 공극내 존재하던 공극수가 얼어 상대적으로 전기비저항 값이 높아지는 것으로 보인다. 적설이 발생하지 않는 식생활동이 활발한 구간은 깊이 0.5 m까지 토양 속에 혼재된 많은 자갈로 인해 비저항이 높았고 깊이 0.5~3 m 에서는 그 아래 동토층이 존재한다. 반대로, 적설량이 많은 식생이 존재하지 않는 구간에서는 전기비저항값이 약 2000 Ωm 이상의 고비저항대가 나타나는데 이곳은 연중 얼어있는 것으로 해석된다. 결빙기에 두꺼워지는 활동층은 차후 해빙기에 추가 탐사를 할 경우 이와 반대로 점차 얇아지는 두께로 보다 명확히 검증될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 기상청에서 2018년부터 운영 중인 전지구 해양자료동화시스템 GODAPS에 대하여 소개하였으며, 2015년 2월부터 2016년 1월까지 일년간의 실험 수행을 통한 결과를 분석하여 이 시스템의 특성을 살펴보았다. GODAPS는 크게 해양-해빙 모델과 3차원 변분법 기반의 자료동화 시스템으로 구성되어 있고, 전지구적으로 수집된 현장 및 위성 관측자료를 자료동화하여 매일 1회 분석장과 예측장을 생산한다. 이때 해수면온도, 수온과 염분 프로파일, 해수면고도 변이, 그리고 해빙농도 관측자료를 자료동화한다. 분석증분 및 배경장/분석장으로부터의 관측증분에 대한 분석, 자료동화를 적용하지 않은 실험과의 비교 등을 통해 GODAPS 자료동화 결과를 비교검증하였다. 자료동화는 관측자료들을 효과적으로 활용하고 있었으며, 전지구 규모에서 편차를 줄인 분석장과 예측장을 생산하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이외에도, 변동성이 강한 중위도 해역의 쿠로시오와 걸프만 해류의 중규모 현상을 재현하는데 있어서도 결정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인하였다. 해양초기장을 향상시키기 위해서는 모델과 자료동화 기술의 개발과 더불어, 다양한 관측자료를 활용하는 것이 중요하다. 하지만, 현업에서 활용할 수 있는 해양관측자료는 한계가 있으며, 따라서 가용한 자료를 자료동화 과정에 포함시키는 노력이 요구된다. 수온에 비해 염분의 경우 상대적으로 관측자료가 부족한데, 최근에는 SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) 등 인공위성을 활용한 표층 염분자료가 제공되고 있으며, 기상청에서도 자료동화 과정에 독립적인 위성 염분자료를 활용한 분석장 검증 및 자료동화에 직접적용하는 연구를 추진하고 있다. 특히, 표층 염분의 자료동화를 통해 열대해역의 혼합층 깊이가 개선되고, 결과적으로 기후예측성을 향상시키는 연구결과(Hackert et al., 2020) 등을 고려할 때, 향후 위성관측 표층염분의 자료동화는 기후예측 분야에 있어서 점차 중요해질 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 실험결과에서도 GODAPS의 염분 관측증분 오차가 표층에서 상대적으로 크게 나타나고 있어, 해양초기장의 정확성을 높이고 나아가 기후예측성을 높이는데 위성 염분자료가 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A pilot study was performed from July 1998 to December 2002, including winter performance, to examine seasonal performance of a constructed wetland and subsequent pond system for treatment of sewage in small communities of Korea. Pond was operated as a intermittent-discharge pond during winter period, and continuous flow system during growing season; its effects was evaluated from December 2001 to April 2003. The subsurface flow (SSF) wetland was satisfactory for treating sewage with good removal efficiency even during the winter period. The wetland effluent concentrations of $BOD_5$ and TSS were often higher in winter than in the growing season, but this was explained by the higher loading rates, rather than lower removal efficiency. The relatively poor-quality wetland effluent was further polished during winter in the pond. The upper layer of the pond water column became remarkably clear immediately after ice melt. In the growing season, ponds could be operated as a continuous flow system to remove nutrients and pathogens, and the effluent of pond could be reused as a supplemental irrigation water without risk of infection by sewage-borne pathogens as well as causing adverse effect on growth and yield. Overall, the wetland system was found to be adequate for treating sewage with stable removal efficiency, and the intermittent-discharge pond was found to be effective for further polishing if necessary. Therefore, the combination of a wetland and subsequent pond system and reuse of effluent as crop irrigation water is recommended as a practical alternative to treat sewage in Korean small communities, and partial discharge of pond water in March is suggested.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in hardness and microstructure of a dental multipurpose alloy after simulated complete firing with controlled cooling rate and holding time by characterizing the changes in hardness and microstructure after simulated firing with various cooling rates and holding times. Methods: Before hardness testing, the specimens were solution treated and then were rapidly quenched into ice brine. The specimens were completely fired in furnace. Hardness measurements were made using a Vickers microhardness tester. The specimens were examined at 15 kV using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Results: The maximum hardness value was obtained at stage 0 after simulated firing with various cooling rates (quick cooling, stage 0, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3). By the repetitive firing, the hardness of the tested alloy decreased gradually. By holding the specimen at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10-20min after simulated firing, the hardness increased apparently. However, to hold the alloy for long periods of time in the relatively high temperature after simulated firing resulted in the formation of thick oxidation layer. The oxide film formed on the surface of the alloy after simulated complete firing with controlled cooling rate, which was mainly composed of O and Zn. Conclusion: It is reasonable to hold the alloy at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10-20min after complete firing in other to improve the final hardness of the alloy.
