COMS(Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) is the geostationary satellite for the mission of satellite communication, ocean monitoring, and meteorological service. It is scheduled to be launched at the end of 2008. Ocean payload of COMS named as GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) observes ocean color and derives the chlorophyll concentrlition, the concentration of dissolved organic material and so on. In operational oceanography, satellite derived data products are used to provide forecasting and now casting of the ocean and coastal water state. In this work, conceptual design of structural part of GOCI is carried out and two baseline concepts are proposed. The one is dioptric module that uses lens system and the other is TMA(Three Mirror Anastigmat) module that uses mirror system. Trade-off studies between two concepts are investigated by considering optical and mechanical performances. Finally, on-going tasks and future development plan are briefly discussed.

Objectives: Infectious diseases are known to be affected by climate change. We investigated if the infectious diseases were related to meteorological factors in Korea. Methods: Scrub typhus, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), leptospirosis, malaria and Vibrio vulnificus sepsis among the National Notifiable Infectious Diseases were selected as the climate change-related infectious diseases. Temperature, relative humidity and precipitation were used as meteorological factors. The study period was from 2001 through 2008. We examined the seasonality of the diseases and those correlations with meteorological factors. We also analyzed the correlations between the incidences of the diseases during the outbreak periods and monthly meteorological factors in the hyper-endemic regions. Results: All of the investigated diseases showed strong seasonality; malaria and V. vulnificus sepsis were prevalent in summer and scrub typhus, HFRS and leptospirosis were prevalent in the autumn. There were significant correlations between the monthly numbers of cases and all the meteorological factors for malaria and V. vulnificus sepsis, but there were no correlation for the other diseases. However, the incidence of scrub typhus in hyper-endemic region during the outbreak period was positively correlated with temperature and humidity during the summer. The incidences of HFRS and leptospirosis had positive correlations with precipitation in November and temperature and humidity in February, respectively. V. vulnificus sepsis showed positive correlations with precipitation in April/May/July. Conclusions: In Korea, the incidences of the infectious diseases were correlated with meteorological factors, and this implies that the incidences could be influenced by climate change.

가뭄은 영향을 받는 인자에 따라 체감정도가 달라지는 사회적 현상으로 기후학적 가뭄, 기상학적 가뭄, 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄 등 다양한 상대적 개념으로 정의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양하게 정의되는 가뭄 중에서 기상학적 가뭄을 나타내는 지수에 대한 비교 분석을 실시하고자 하였으며, 실제 과거 가뭄사례와 기상학적 가뭄지수 분석결과의 비교를 통하여 가뭄지수의 적용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 가뭄지수의 비교를 위하여 기상학적 가뭄을 판단하기 위해 일반적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)와 일반적으로 사용되지는 않지만 강수량만을 이용하여 가뭄분석이 가능한 CZI (China-Z Index), MCZI (Modified CZI), ZSI (Z-Score Index) 지수를 이용하였다. 대상지역으로는 최근까지도 가뭄이 발생하였던 태백과 속초지역을 대상으로 선정하였으며 1986년부터 2015년 기상 자료를 이용하여 지속시간 3개월로 가뭄지수 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 SPI 가뭄지수가 과거 제한급수발생 가뭄사례에 대하여 높은 재현성을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었으며 CZI와 MCZI 가뭄지수의 경우 Extreme Dry 발생 횟수는 과거사례와 유사하나 실제 가뭄이 발생했던 년도에 대해서는 낮은 재현성이 나타났다. ZSI 가뭄지수의 경우 발생횟수, 과거사례와의 비교 모두 재현성이 떨어지는 것으로 분석되었다. 가뭄지수의 비교결과 강수량을 이용한 기상학적 가뭄지수의 경우 과거 가뭄사례와 가장 높은 재현성을 보이는 SPI 가뭄지수를 이용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

This paper is to introduce recent collaborative activities in agricultural weather information services among institutions in Korea as well as key concepts for understanding agrometeorological services. KMA and RDA have agreed upon the establishment of the Joint Committee for Agrometeorolgy at national level to strengthen the national agrometeorological services in data collection, information production, research, and services to end-users of agrometeorological information in Korea. Several on-going joint projects in agrometeorology by RDA/KMA are introduced in brief. The projects being developed are : Strengthening of the Joint Committee of agrometeorology, Extension of observation network for agricultural weather, Production of the detailed agrometeorological information based on numerical weather forecasts, Development of seasonal and interannual weather forecasts for agricultural applications, Information network system for supporting agrometeorological research, and Improvement of agrometeorological information services at national and regional level. Strengthening of programs for the education and training of agrometeorologists will be impending responsibilities of the government. The government must consider establishment of organizations dedicated to and in charge of national agrometeorological services to end-users. RDA and KMA should play a major role to obtain this goal, based on a close cooperation with universities, scientific societies, and other relevant institutions. If this plan is successful, major infrastructures and services in agrometeorology shall be established in the next 5 years, and we can contribute to regional and global societies through sharing experiences and know-hows.

This study was performed to research the relation between airmass thunderstorm and stability index with 12 years meteorological data(1990~2001) at Busan. Also We used the analysed stability indices from University of Wyoming to consider airmass thunderstorm. The frequency of thunderstorm occurrence during 12 years was 156 days(annual mean 13days). The airmass thunderstorm frequency was 14 days, most of those occurrence were summertime(59%). And occurrence hour of airmass thunderstorm was distributed from 1300LST to 2100LST broadly. The highest forecast index for airmass thunderstorm at Busan was K index, the lowest forecast index was SWEAT index. The forecasting of thunderstorms is based primary on the concepts of conditional instability, convective instability, and forced lifting of air near the surface. Instability is a critical factor in severe weather development. Severe weather stability indices can be a useful tool when applied correctly to a given convective weather situation.

In recent years, the effects of a possible climate change have been discussed in regard to wind loading on buildings and structures. Simple scenarios based on the assumption of global warming suggest an increase of storm intensities and storm frequencies and a possible re-distribution of storm tracks. Among recent publications, some papers seem to verify these scenarios while others deny the influence of climatic change. In an introductory step, the paper tries to re-examine these statements. Based on meteorological observations of a weather station in Germany, the existence of long-term trends and their statistical significance is investigated. The analysis itself is based on a refined model for the wind climate introducing a number of new basic variables. Thus, the numerical values of the design wind loads used in modern codes become more justified from the probabilistic point of view.

구름의 영향 없이 지표면에 도달하는 일사량을 추정하는 것은 일사량 자원지도의 궁극적인 목표이며, 이는 청천일 모델(clear sky model)을 사용하여 이론적으로 추정할 수 있다. 일사량 지도의 정확도는 청천일 모델의 정확도와 연결되기 때문에 연구목적과 연구지역에 적합한 청천일 모델을 선정하고 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 대기혼탁 인자를 사용하여 일사량을 추정하는 고차원 모델(ESRA, Dumortier, MODTRAN)과 태양고도를 변수를 하는 일차원 모델(Bourges, PdBV)을 사용하여 한반도의 청천일 일사량을 추정하였으며, 실제 측정 자료와 비교하여 한반도에 적합한 청천일 모델을 분석하고자 하였다. 천리안 기상위성의 가시영상을 사용하여 구름이 없는 청명일을 참조자료로 추출하였으며, RMSE와 MBE를 계산하여 모델별 오차를 분석하였다. 연구결과, Bourges와 PdBV 모델이 실측치와 가장 낮은 RMSE를 가졌으며, PdBV는 계절에 상관없이 비교적 일정한 MBE값을 가졌다. 또한 봄-초여름 기간에 일차원모델은 일사량을 과소 추정하는 경향을 보였으며, 고차원모델은 겨울에 일사량을 과대 추정하는 것으로 나타났다. 추후 모델별로 나타난 오차의 경향 및 계절에 따른 오차를 보정하는 추가 연구를 통하여, 한반도에 최적화된 청천일 일사량 모델을 수정 및 개발할 예정이다.

Purpose: Patients who suffer from rheumatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, other various inflammatory diseases and musculoskeletal disorders, which are all similar to temporomandibular disorders (TMD), have been complaining about changes in the level and type of pain in response to changes in weather conditions for a long time. Through an investigation about pain perception in TMD patients in response to weather conditions, our primary objective was to develop base materials for future studies on change in pain in response to meteorological factors. Methods: Among patients who presented with TMD to Department of Oral Medicine, Pusan National University Dental Hospital from August to October 2016, one hundred consecutive TMD patients diagnosed with TMDs according to Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) were recruited for the study and 28 patients were excluded according to exclusion criteria. Survey was done with the questionnaire and investigated whether there was any difference in incidence and level of pain in TMD patients between non-rainy and rainy days. Results: Among a total of 72 samples, 4 patients reported change in pain on rainy days rather than non-rainy days. Two patients from chronic group (joint and complex subgroup) reported increased pain on rainy days rather than non-rainy days but it was not statistically significant (p>0.05). One patient from chronic/muscle group reported the change in pain characteristics while pain intensity remained unchanged. One patient from acute/complex group reported decreased pain intensity. In comparison of the patients who reported increased pain on rainy days between acute and chronic groups, there were two reported cases and were both from chronic group only. There was a significantly higher chance of reporting increased pain on rainy days in chronic group than acute group (p<0.001). Conclusions: It is considered that TMD patients couldn't perceive the change in pain well in response to weather change on rainy days but some chronic patients could perceive the increase in pain in rainy days.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning and the yin-yang properties of the six qi and the three yin and three yang as well as to understand the relationship between the six qi and the three yin and three yang. Methods : As the concept of six qi is the six climatic influences after all, I tried to grasp the yin and yang properties of the six qi on the basis of the meteorology and Yun Qi theory. Based on this I studied the concept and properties of the three yin and three yang. Results and Conclusions: (1) Among the six qi, cold and heat refer to temperature, dryness and dampness to humidity, and wind and ministerial fire to atmospheric pressure. Wind is an ascending air current while ministerial fire is a descending air current. Therefore, wind, heat, and dampness are the yang, and ministerial fire, dryness, and cold are the yin. (2) Three yin and three yang represent changes of ying and yang of all things following six qi changes. Simple deviation of qi can be described by yin and yang, but consequent changes in form required further developed concepts of three yin and three yang. In other words, the changes of the form caused by wind, heat, and dampness are namely reverting yin, lesser yin, and greater yin respectively, while the changes of the form caused by ministerial fire, dryness, and cold are expressed as lesser yang, yang brightness, and greater yang respectively.
