The 10-day interval basis measurements of precipitation samples at Yangyang, the rural and coastal area on the eastern coast of the Korea peninsula were accomplished for understanding the precipitation chemistry and the temporal variations of major ions September 1991 to February 1997. The precipitation was slightly acidic, and 37% of the samples in winter were pH less than 4.5. The concentrations of cations were found on the order $Na^+\;>\;{NH_4}^+\;>\;Ca^{2+}\;>\;Mg^{2+}\;>\;K^+$ and those of anions followed the pattern $Cl^-\;>\;{SO_4}^{2-}\;>\;{NO_3}^-$. Neglecting sea salt components, the major ions controlling precipitation chemistry were nss-${SO_4}^{2-}$ and ${NO_3}^-$ in anion and ${NH_4}^+$ and nss-$Ca^{2+}$ in cation. Concentrations of these ions were lower than those measured at urban sites in Korea, but were higher than those measured in Japan. Most of nss-${SO_4}^{2-}$ and ${NO_3}^-$ were neutralized by ammonia and calcium species, especially alkaline soil particles in spring and ammonia gas in other seasons. Considering also the annual value of ［nss -${SO_4}^{2-}$］/［${NO_3}^-$］ ratio of 2.62 and the neutralizing factors, ammonium sulphate compounds were dominant. Annual mean concentrations of these ions showed relatively small fluctuations, while larger seasonal variations were observed with higher levels in spring and winter. Precipitation amount, influence extent of acidic gases and alkaline particles long-range transported from China continent, and energy consumption pattern in each season might be able to explain this seasonal trend.sonal trend.

Spring rainfall events were comprehensively analyzed based on the distribution of precipitation amount and the related synoptic weather between 2008~2012. Forty-eight cases are selected among the rain events of the entire country, and each distribution of the 24-hour accumulated precipitation amount is classified into three types: evenly distributed rain(Type 1), more rain in the southern area and south coast region (Type 2), and more rain in the central region (Type 3), respectively. Type 1 constitutes the largest part(35 cases, 72.9%) with mean precipitation amount of 19.4 mm, and the 17 cases of Type 1 are observed in March. Although Type B and C constitutes small parts (11 cases, 22.9% and 2 cases, 4.2%), respectively. The precipitation amount of these types is greater than 34.5 mm and occurred usually in April. The main synoptic weather patterns affecting precipitation distribution are classified into five patterns according to the pathway of low pressures. The most influential pattern is type 4, and this usually occurs in March, April, and May (Low pressures from the north and the ones from the west and south consecutively affect South Korea, 37.5%). The pattern 3(Low pressures from the south affect South Korea, 25%) happens mostly in April, and the average precipitation is usually greater than 30 mm. This value is relatively higher than the values in any other patterns.

This study investigated a method for the discrimination of precipitation type using thickness of geopotential height at 1000~850 hPa and improved Matsuo's scheme over South Korea using 7 upper-level observations data during winter time from 2003 to 2008. With this research, it was suggested that thickness between snow and rain should range from 1281 to 1297 gpm at 1000~850 hPa. This threshold was suitable for determining precipitation type such as snow, sleet and rain and it was verified by investigation at 7 upper-level observation and 10 surface observation data for 3 years (2009~2011). In addition, precipitation types were separated properly by Matsuo's scheme and its improved one, which is a fuction of surface air temperature and relative humidity, when they lie in mixed sectors. Precipitation types in the mixed sector were subdivided into 5 sectors (rain, rain and snow, snow and rain, snow, and snow cover). We also present the decision table for monitoring and predicting precipitation types using model output of Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System (KLAPS) and observation data.

본 연구는 $H_2O_2$가 함유된 ($Na_2CO_3-NaHCO_3$) 혼합 탄산염 계에서 사용후핵연료를 산화용해할 시 U과 함께 공용해 되는 Cs, Te, Tc, Mo 등의 핵분열생성물로부터 Cs과 Tc의 선택적 침전 제거 거동을 규명하였다. Cs과 Tc은 각각 장수명 핵종으로 지하에서의 빠른 핵종 이동성과 고방열성 등으로 최종 처분 시 처분 환경을 저해하는 핵종으로 처분 안전성 제고 측면에서 이들의 제거는 중요한 과제 중의 하나이다. Cs과 Re (Tc 대용원소)의 선택적 침전제로는 각각 NaTPB, TPPCl를 선정하였으며, NaTPB에의한 Cs 침전 및 TPPCl에 의한 Re 침전 모두 5분 이내로 매우 빠르게 이루어졌으며, 온도를 $50^{\circ}C$, 교반속도를 1000 rpm 까지 증가시켜도 이들의 침전 속도에는 별 영향이 없었다. NaTPB 침전 및 TPPCl 침전에 있어 가장 중요한 요인은 침전 용액의 pH 이며, 특히 TPPCl에 의한 Re의 선택적 침전의 경우 낮은 pH 에서 Mo가 Re과 공침되므로 pH 9 이상에서 수행하는 것이 효과적이다. 그리고 [NaTPB]/[Cs] 및 [TPPCl]/[Re]의 몰 농도 비 1 이상에서 Cs 및 Re을 각각 99% 이상 선택적으로 침전 제거할 수 있었다.

The optimization of a batch-type quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-precipitation sensor measuring acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was conducted. To covalently bind AChE onto the gold electrode of a QCM surface, glutaraldehyde cross-linking to a cystamine self-assembled monolayer was tried at different cystamine concentrations. At the optimum conditions of the QCM-precipitation sensor, 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), containing 0.01% Tween 80, was used as the reaction buffer, with the enzyme amount of 5 units for immobilization and the substrate concentration of 50 mg/ml. The current biosensor might find a future applicability to the sum parameter detection on organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides.

Interstational and interseasonal analyses of the correlation and variability in the seasonal and annual precipitation for 10 basic synoptic stations in South Korea, on the basis of rainfall record of over 40 years, are carried out. It is found that the climatic regions of precipitation could be classified by means of the interstational analysis for the correlations. Corrleation coefficients in interstational relationship of precipitation are lowest in autumn which characterizeds a strong locality while the highest value shows a relatively weak locality in winter. Interseasonal relationship between summer and winter precipitation shows mostly 10 percent significant level with all positive values. The magnitude of the variation coefficients are appeared to be in the order of winter, autumn, spring and summer. It is shown that the highest which is winter ranges between 0.33 0.58, and for the lowest summer, 0.26-0.44, respectively in the areal distribution of the coefficient. The secular changes of the variation coefficient in the recent trend show increases in spring at two station; Seoul and Incheon, in summer at Busan and in autumn at two stations; Busan and Incheon while in winter show devreases at the whole stations. An annual variation seems to show generally a constant trend as whole for all the stations.

The complex climate system regarding human actions is well represented through global climate models (GCMs). The output from GCMs provides useful information about the rate and magnitude of future climate change. Especially, the temperature variable is most reliable among other GCM outputs. However, hydrological variables (e.g. precipitation) from GCM outputs for future climate change contain too high uncertainty to use in practice. Therefore, we propose a method that simulates temperature variable with increasing in a certain level (e.g. 0.5oC or 1.0oC increase) as a global warming scenario from observed data. In addition, a hydrometeorological variable can be simulated employing block-wise sampling technique associated with the temperature simulation. The proposed method was tested for assessing the future change of the seasonal precipitation in South Korea under global warming scenario. The results illustrate that the proposed method is a good alternative to levy the variation of hydrological variables under global warming condition.

KEOP (Korea Enhanced Observing Period)-2004 intensive summer observation was carried out from 20 June to 5 July 2004 over the Southwestern part of the Korean peninsula. In this study, the effects of KEOP-2004 intensive observation data on the simulation of precipitation system are investigated using KLAPS (Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) and PSU/NCAR MM5. Three precipitation cases during the intensive observation are selected for detailed analysis. In addition to the control experiments using the traditional data for its initial and boundary conditions, two sensitivity experiments using KEOP data with and without Jindo radar are performed. Although it is hard to find a clear and consistent improvement in the verification score (threat score), it is found that the KEOP data play a role in improving the position and intensity of the simulated precipitation system. The experiments started at 00 and 12 UTC show more positive effect than those of 06 and 18 UTC. The effect of Jindo radar is dependent on the case. It plays a significant role in the heavy rain cases related to a mesoscale low over Changma front and the landing of a Typhoon. KEOP data produce more strong difference in the 06/18 UTC experiments than in 00/12 UTC, but give more positive effects in 00/12 UTC experiments. One of the possible explanations for this is that : KEOP data could properly correct the atmosphere around them when there are certain amounts of data, while gives excessive effect to the atmospheric field when there are few data. CRA analysis supports this reasoning. According to the CRA (Contiguous Rain Area) analysis, KEOP data in 00/12 UTC experiments improve only the surrounding area, resulting in essentially same precipitation system so the effects remain only in each convective cell rather than the system itself. On the other hand, KEOP data modify the precipitation system itself in 06/18 UTC experiments. Therefore the effects become amplified with time integration.

The impact of the precipitation has been focused on losses in social and economical sectors. However, as growing the concerns of the future water shortage caused by the climate change, the precipitation should be consider in various views for an effective planning in the water resource management. A precipitation case occurred from 20 to 21 April 2009 was recorded as a welcome rain because it reduced the severe drought continued in Korea from winter season of 2008. In this study, economic values of the event was calculated with positive aspects in various sectors. The estimation is based on four major parts such as a secure of water resources, the improvement of air quality, the decrease of forest fires, and the reduction of the drought impact. The water resources only considered inflow waters into dams and the reservoirs managed by Korean public institutions and their economic values accounts for 5.92 billion won. Decreases of four air pollutants($PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, CO, and $SO_2$) were considered as the positive effects of the rainfall and estimated 175.4 billion won. The preventive effect of the forest fire after the rainfall results in 0.48 billion won. Finally, the rainfall during the drought period is effective to reduce the social costs of 108.65 billion won. Although the economic values estimated in this study explain parts of the positive effects of the precipitation, it can help to develop a comprehensive and systematic valuation system for the whole process of the precipitation. For doing this, various rainfall types should be analyzed in social-economic terms including economics, environments and hydrology.

강수지표의 변화시점(change point) 분석을 이용하여 기후의 특성이 점진적 또는 급진적으로 변화하는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 강수지표를 크게 총량(amount), 극치(extremes)와 빈도(frequency)로 구분하였고, 각각의 지수를 RIA(Rainfall Index for Amount), RIE(Rainfall Index for Extremes)와 RIF(Rainfall Index for Frequency)로 정의하였다. 계산된 강수지표의 시간에 따른 변화를 알아보기 위하여 BCP(Bayesian Change Point)를 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 남한지역의 강수지표는 연 강우일수와 200년 빈도 확률 강수량을 제외하고는 모두 증가 하는 것으로 확인되었다. RIA는 울릉도 지점에서 변화지점의 유의성에 대해 매우 명확한 모습을 보였고 RIE는 제천, 서귀포와 구미 등에서 비교적 유의한 결과가 확인되었다. 또한, 1990년대 이후에 변동지점의 개수가 증가하고 있으며, 변동지점의 횡적인 폭 또한 비교적 넓어지고 있었다. 이러한 사실에 근거하여 볼 때 강수에 대한 정상성 가정에 대한 재고가 필요하리라 판단되었다.
