  • In order to investigate the effects of local and synoptic meteorological conditions on urban scale particulate air pollutants observed over the Busan coastal area, power spectrum analysis was applied to observed particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter $\leq10\;{\mu}m$ ($PM_{10}$) for the period from 1 October, 1993 to 31 December, 2004. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis was used to obtain the hourly mean observed $PM_{10}$ concentrations to identify different periodicity scales of $PM_{10}$ concentrations. The results showed that, aside from the typical and well-known periodicities such as diurnal and annual variations caused by anthropogenic influences, three other significant power spectral density peaks were identified: 7-day, 21-day and 2.25-year periodicities. Cospectrum analysis indicated that the seven-day variations were closely related to the synoptic meteorological conditions such as weak wind speed, which are relevant to the stagnant high pressure system slowly passing through the Korean Peninsula. The intra-seasonal 21-day variation was negatively correlated with wind speed but was consistently positively correlated with relative humidity, which is related to aerosol formation that can be achieved as a result of the hygroscopic characteristics of aerosols. However, the quasibiennial 2.25-year variation was correlated with the frequency of Asian dust occurrence, the periodicities of which have been recorded inter-annually over the Korean Peninsula.

  • In this study, the ionic composition of volcanogenically derived particles and their temporal and spatial distributions have been investigated to evaluate the impact of the volcanic eruption on the local ecosystem and residents. To this end, an intensive field study was conducted to measure the size-segregated particulate matters at the east part of Sakurajima in Japan. Fractionated sampling of particles into > $PM_{10}$, $PM_{10-2.5}$, and $PM_{2.5}$ was made by a multi nozzle cascade impactor (MCI). The concentration of various ions present in the size-resolved particles was determined by Ion chromatography. The time dependent 3-dimensional Volcanic Ash Forecast Transport And Dispersion (VAFTAD) model developed by the NOAA Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) indicated that the sampling site of this work was affected by the volcanic aerosol particles plume. The temporal distributions of sulfate and $PM_{2.5}$ during the field campaign were significantly variable with important contributions to particle mass concentration. The chlorine loss, suspected to be caused by acidic components of volcanic gases, occurred predominantly in fine particles smaller than $10\;{\mu}m$.

  • A new technique, namely the combination of satellite and trajectory analysis (CSTA), for exploring the spatio-temporal distribution information of volcanic ash plume (VAP) from volcanic eruption. CSTA uses the satellite derived ash property data and a matching forward-trajectories, which can generate airmass history pattern for specific VAP. In detail, VAP properties such as ash mask, aerosol optical thickness at 11 ${\mu}m$ ($AOT_{11}$), ash layer height, and effective radius from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) satellite were retrieved, and used to estimate the possibility of the ash forecasting in local atmosphere near volcano. The use of CSTA for Iceland's Eyjafjallaj$\ddot{o}$kull volcano erupted in May 2010 reveals remarkable spatial coherence for some VAP source-transport pattern. The CSTA forecasted points of VAP are consistent with the area of MODIS retrieved VAP. The success rate of the 24 hour VAP forecast result was about 77.8% in this study. Finally, the use of CSTA could provide promising results for VAP monitoring and forecasting by satellite observation data and verification with long term measurement dataset.

  • Clouds play an important role in climate change, in the prediction of local weather, and also in aviation safety when instrument assisted flying is unavailable. Presently, various ground-based instruments used for the measurements of the cloud base height or velocity. Lidar techniques are powerful and have many applications in climate studies, including the clouds' temperature measurement, the aerosol particle properties, etc. Otherwise, it is very circumscribed in cloud velocity measurements because there is no Doppler effect if the clouds move in the perpendicular direction to the laser beam path of Doppler lidar. In this paper, we present a method for the measurement of cloud velocity using lidar's range detection and DIC (Digital Image Correlation) system to overcome the disadvantage of Doppler lidar. The lidar system acquires the distance to the cloud, and the cloud images are tracked using the developed fast correlation algorithm of DIC. We acquired the velocities of clouds using the calculated distance and DIC algorithm. The measurement values had a linear distribution.

  • This paper presents a nighttime sea fog detection algorithm incorporating unsupervised learning technique. The algorithm is based on data sets that combine brightness temperatures from the $3.7{\mu}m$ and $10.8{\mu}m$ channels of the meteorological imager (MI) onboard the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS), with sea surface temperature from the Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA). Previous algorithms generally employed threshold values including the brightness temperature difference between the near infrared and infrared. The threshold values were previously determined from climatological analysis or model simulation. Although this method using predetermined thresholds is very simple and effective in detecting low cloud, it has difficulty in distinguishing fog from stratus because they share similar characteristics of particle size and altitude. In order to improve this, the unsupervised learning approach, which allows a more effective interpretation from the insufficient information, has been utilized. The unsupervised learning method employed in this paper is the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm that is widely used in incomplete data problems. It identifies distinguishing features of the data by organizing and optimizing the data. This allows for the application of optimal threshold values for fog detection by considering the characteristics of a specific domain. The algorithm has been evaluated using the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) vertical profile products, which showed promising results within a local domain with probability of detection (POD) of 0.753 and critical success index (CSI) of 0.477, respectively.

  • 건조물문화재의 생물피해 관련하여 먼저 기상요소를 직접 측정하고 국지 기상 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 목조 건축물, 석조 건축물 생물피해가 확인되고, 지역적 기후 차이가 뚜렷한 충북 보은 법주사와 전남 순천 선암사를 비교 대상으로 기상요소 10가지 항목을 관측하였고 미세먼지(TSP)를 포집 분석하였다. 또한, 기상요소-미세먼지 간, 기상요소 간 상관성 분석을 실시하였다. 법주사의 국지 기상 특성은 일사량, 자외선량, 증발량이 많고 풍속이 빠르며 미세먼지 농도가 높은 반면 선암사의 국지 기상 특성은 기온, 습도, 이슬점온도, 기압이 높고 강수량, 강수일수가 많았다. 미세먼지의 원소분석결과, 선암사는 해염 입자가 추가로 발견되었고, 법주사에 비해 생체 입자와 철함유입자의 월별 빈도가 높게 나타났다. 상관성 분석 결과, 법주사는 풍속이, 선암사는 습도가 주요 기상인자로써 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 선암사의 기상 특성은 각종 생물 성장에 유리하므로 건조물문화재의 생물학적 손상에 영향이 더 클 것으로 예상된다.

  • 서울의 대기오염, 특히 고농도 대기오염 사례는 시민 건강에 매우 부정적일뿐만 아니라, 일반 시민들이 서울시에 대해 느끼는 체감오염도에도 중요한 변수이다. 따라서 이러한 고농도 대기오염 사례의 원인을 규명하는 것은 과학적으로 중요할 뿐만 아니라 사회적으로도 중요한 문제이다. 2005년 7월 22일부터 31일 사이에 고농도 대기오염 사례가 관측되었다. 이 대기오염 사례에 대해 측정소 간의 시계열분석, 에어로졸 성분 분석, 궤적 분석 등의 종합적인 해석을 통해, 대기오염 사례가 국지적인 것이었는지, 외부 영향에 의한 것인지 규명 하였다. 측정 결과를 바탕으로 이 사례를 7월 22~27일(기간 1)과 28~31일(기간 2)의 두 기간으로 구분하였다. 우리나라의 도시대기측정소의 PM10 농도 추이를 분석한 결과, 기간 1에는 춘천의 PM10 농도와 3시간 후에 서울의 PM10 농도가 상관관계가 높았으며, 기간 2에는 중부 지방 전체의 PM10 농도 사이에 상관관계가 높았다. 기간 1에는 풍속이 점차 강해져서 오염물질이 희석되는 경향을 보였으며, 기간 2에는 풍속이 점차 약해져 정체성 특성을 보여 고농도가 계속 유지되었다. 관측한 PM2.5 이온 조성은 기간 1보다는 기간 2에 높았으며, 두 기간 모두, 서울의 평균 농도보다는 매우 높았다. 궤적분석 결과 기간 1에는 시계열 분석 결과와 일치하게, 공기덩어리가 중국에서 북한과 강원도를 거쳐 서울로 이동하였고, 기간 2에는 중국에서 직접 서울로 이동하였다. 현재는 북한의 대기오염물질 배출 정도나 대기오염도에 대한 자료가 부족하여 보다 상세한 분석이 힘들다. 그러나 북한의 영향이 상당할 것으로 보이므로 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다 (Kim et al., 2011). 이 연구 결과는 2005년 7월 하순에 서울에서 발생한 대기오염 에피소드는 외부 영향, 특히 중국 영향에 의한 것임을 보여준다. 그러나 같은 외부 영향이라도 공기의 이동 경로와 풍속에 따라 오염 특성이 달라지는 것을 확인하였다.

  • Size -segregated measurements of aerosol composition using 8-stage DRUM impactor are used to determine the transport of natural and anthropogenic aerosols at Gosan site from 29 March to 30 May in 2002. Separation of ambient aerosols by DRUM impactor offers many Advantages over other standard filtration techniques. Some of the most important advantages are the ability to segregate into details by particle tire, to better preserve chemical integrity since the air stream doesn't pars through the deposit, to collect samples as a function of time, and to have a wide variety of impaction surfaces available to match analytical needs. Although the transport of Yellow sand is a well-known phenomenon in springtime, the result of measurement shows that not only soil dust but also anthropogenic aerosols, including sulfur, enriched trace metals such as Pb, Ni, Zn. Cu, Cr, As, Se, Br, are transported to Gosan in springtime. This study combines the size- and time-resolved aerosol composition measurements with isentropic, backward air-mass trajectories in order to identify some potential source regions of anthropogenic aerosols. As a result, during the NYS period, the average concentration of PM$_{10}$ was 46$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, Si, Al. S, Fe, Cl, K, Ca were higher than 1,000 ng/㎥ and Ti was about 100 ng/㎥. The concentrations of Zn, Mn, Cu. Pb, Br, Rb, V, Cr, Ni. At, Se ranged between 1 and 70 ng/㎥. More than 50% typical soil elements, tuck as Al, Si, Fe, Cd. Ti, Cr, Cu, Br. were distributed in a coarse particle range(5.0-12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). In other hand, anthropogenic pollutants, luck as S, N, Vi, were mainly distributed in a fine particle range (0.09-0.56${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). During the YS period, PM$_{10}$ increased about 8 times than NYS period, and main soil elements, such as Al, Si, S, K, V, Mn, Fe also doubled in coarse particle range (1.15-12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). But Zn, As, Pb, Cu and Se, which distributed in the time aerosols (0.09-0.56${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), were on the same level with or decreased than NYS period. Finally. except the YS Period, coarse particles (2.5-12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) are inferred to be influenced by soil, coal combustion, waste incineration, ferrous and nonferrous sources through similar pathways with Yellow Sand. But fine particles have different sources, such as coal combustion, gasoline vehicle, biomass burning, oil or coal combustion, nonferrous and ferrous metal sources, which are transported from China, Korea peninsula and local sources.ces.
