The occurrence and strength of the Asian Dust over the Korea Peninsular have been increased by the expansion of the desert area. For the continuous monitoring of the Asian Dust event, the geostationary satellites provide useful information by detecting the outbreak of the event as well as the long-range transportation of dust. The Infrared Optical Depth Index (IODI) derived from the MTSAT-1R data, indicating a quantitative index of the dust intensity, has been produced in real-time at Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) since spring of 2007 for the forecast of Asian dust. The data processing algorithm for IODI consists of mainly two steps. The first step is to detect dust area by using brightness temperature difference between two thermal window channels which are influenced with different extinction coefficients by dust. Here we use dynamic threshold values based on the change of surface temperature. In the second step, the IODI is calculated using the ratio between current IR1 brightness temperature and the maximum brightness temperature of the last 10 days which we assume the clear sky. Validation with AOD retrieved from MODIS shows a good agreement over the ocean. Comparison of IODI with the ground based PM10 observation network in Korea shows distinct characteristics depending on the altitude of dust layer estimated from the Lidar data. In the case that the altitude of dust layer is relatively high, the intensity of IODI is larger than that of PM10. On the other hand, when the altitude of dust layer is lower, IODI seems to be relatively small comparing with PM10 measurement.

This study analyze the synoptic meteorological cause of rainfall, rainfall intensity, drop size distribution(DSD), fall velocity and oblateness measured by the 2D-Video distrometer(2DVD) by comparing two cases which are heavy rainfall event case and a case that is not classified as heavy rainfall but having more than $30mm\;h^{-1}$ rainrate in July, 2014 at Gimhae region. As a results; Over the high pressure edge area where strong upward motion exists, the convective rain type occurred and near the changma front, convective and frontal rainfall combined rain type occurred. Therefore, rainrate varies based on the synoptic meteorological condition. The most rain drop distribution appeared in the raindrops with diameters between 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm and large particles appeared for the convective rain type since strong upward motion provide favorable conditions for the drops to grow by colliding and merging so the drop size distribution varies based on the location or rainfall types. The rainfall phases is mainly rain and as the diameter of the raindrop increase the fall velocity increase and oblateness decrease. The equation proposed based on the 2DVD tends to underestimated both fall velocity and oblateness compared with observation. Since these varies based on the rainfall characteristics of the observation location, standard equation for fall velocity and oblateness fit for Gimhae area can be developed by continuous observation and data collection hereafter.

This study aims to produce fundamental database for Environment Impact Assessment by monitoring vertical structure of the atmosphere due to the mountain valley wind in spring season. For this, we observed surface and upper meteorological elements in Sangin-dong, Daegu using the rawinsonde and automatic weather system(AWS). In Sangin-dong, the weather condition was largely affected by mountains when compared to city center. The air temperature was low during the night time and day break, and similar to that of city center during the day time. Relative humidity also showed similar trend; high during the night time and day break and similar to that of city center during the day time. Solar radiation was higher than the city, and the daily maximum temperature was observed later than the city. The synoptic wind during the measurement period was west wind. But during the day time, the west wind was joined by the prevailing wind to become stronger than the night time. During the night time and daybreak, the impact of mountain wind lowered the overall temperature, showing strong geographical influence. The vertical structure of the atmosphere in Dalbi valley, Sangin-dong had a sharp change in air temperature, relative humidity, potential temperature and equivalent potential temperature when measured at the upper part of the mixing layer height. The mixing depth was formed at maximum 1896m above the ground, and in the night time, the inversion layer was formed by radiational cooling and cold mountain wind.

이 연구의 목적은 삼림파괴로 유발되는 몇 가지 기상학적 요소의 변화를 관측을 통해서 조사하였다. 이 연구를 위해서 기상관측 장치를 숲이 파괴된 곳과 숲이 보존되어 있는 곳에 설치하여 1년간(2006. 12.-2007. 12) 연속 관측하였다. 이 후로 숲이 파괴된 지점을 point 1 그리고 숲이 보존되어 있는 지점을 point 2라고 지칭하기로 한다. 이 연구에서는 여름철에 강우가 있은 다음 날부터 1주일 동안 관측된 두 지역의 자료를 비교 분석하였다. 관측 자료의 분석을 통하여 야간에는 두 지역의 온도분포가 비슷하였지만, 낮에는 지점 1에서 관측된 기온이 지점 2보다 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$ 높게 나타났다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 야간에는 두 지점간의 차이가 작았다. 상대습도도 숲의 보존지역(지점2)에서 높게 나타났는데, 그 차이는 한낮에 10%정도에 이르렀다. 지표와 지중 15cm 깊이의 온도도 두 지역 사이에 큰 차이를 보였다. 그 차는 낮에 크고 야간에는 작았는데, 대체로 지점 1에서의 값이 $3-10^{\circ}C$ 더 높게 나타났다. 토양수분은 지점에서 7.1%, 지점 2에서 19.5%로 나타나서 지점 2에서의 토양 수분이 지점 1보다 훨씬 높았다. 두 지점에서 풍향은 주로 북서-북동풍으로 거의 차이가 없었지만, 풍속은 지점 2(0.3m/s)에서 지점 1(0.5m/s)보다 작게 관측되었다. 이러한 관측 자료를 바탕으로 두 지점 사이에 존재하는 열수지적 차이에 대해서도 분석하였다.

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the impact of PBL (Planetary boundary layer) scheme implemented in WRF on the result of meteorological fields and CMAQ modeling. 25-day period, representing high ozone concentration, was selected for the simulations. The three WRF domains covered East Asia region, Korean Peninsula and Seoul metropolitan area. The sensitivity of WRF-CMAQ modeling to the various PBL schemes was assessed and quantified by comparing model output and against observation from the meteorological and the air quality monitoring network within the domain. The meteorological variables evaluated included temperature, wind speed and direction over surface sites and upper air sounding sites. The CMAQ variables included gaseous species $O_3$ and $NO_x$ over monitoring stations. Although difference of PBL schemes implemented in WRF, they did not appreciably affect the WRF and CMAQ performance. There are partially differences between non-local and local mixing scheme, but are not distinct differences for the results of weather and air quality. It is suggested that impact of parameterization of vertical eddy diffusivity scheme in CMAQ also need to be researched in the future study.

Background and objective: This study was conducted to establish a Plant Hardiness Zone (PHZ) map, investigate the effect of global warming on changes in PHZ, and elucidate the difference in the distribution of evergreen trees between the central and southern region within hardiness Zone 7b in Korea. Methods: Mean annual extreme minimum temperature (EMT) and related temperature fluctuation data for 40 years (1981 to 2020) in each of the meteorological observation points were extracted from the Open MET Data Portal of the Korea Meteorological Administration. Using EMT data from 60 meteorological observation points, PHZs were classified according to temperature range in the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Changes in PHZs for each decade related to the effects of global warming were analyzed. Temperature fluctuation before and after the day of EMT were analyzed for 4 areas of Seoul, Suwon, Suncheon, and Jinju falling under Zone 7b. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics and ANOVA were performed using the IBM SPSS 22 Statistics software package. Results: Plant hardiness zones in Korea ranged from 6a to 9b. Over four decades, changes to warmer PHZ occurred in 10 areas, especially in colder ones. Based on the analysis of daily temperature fluctuation, the duration of sub-zero temperatures was at least 2 days in Seoul and Suwon, while daily maximum temperatures were above zero in Suncheon and Jinju before and after EMT day. Conclusion: It was found that the duration of sub-zero temperatures in a given area is an important factor affecting the distribution of evergreen trees in PHZ 7b.

본 연구는 전산유체역학 모델을 이용하여 기상청에서 운용하는 종관기상관측소(automated synoptic observing system, ASOS) 10개 지점을 대상으로 ASOS 주변 지형과 건물이 기온과 바람(풍속, 풍향) 관측 환경에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. ASOS에서 최근 10년간 8월의 관측 자료를 기반으로 전산유체역학(computational fluid dynamics, CFD) 모델의 초기·경계 자료를 구축하였다. 실제 토지 피복을 고려한 경우와 모든 피복을 초지로 가정한 경우에 대해, 관측 고도에서 초기 기온 대비 기온 변화율을 비교함으로써 기온 관측 환경을 분석하였다. 기온 관측 환경은 관측 지점 주위의 토지 피복에 의한 영향을 많이 받았다. ASOS 주변에 지표면 온도가 높은 건물과 도로가 밀집한 경우에 기온 변화율이 크게 나타났다. 반면, 모든 토지 피복을 초지로 가정한 경우에는 초기 기온 대비 기온 변화율이 작았다. 실제 토지 피복을 고려하여 관측 고도의 유입류 대비 풍속 변화율과 풍향 변화를 비교함으로써 풍속과 풍향 관측 환경을 분석하였다. 풍속과 풍향은 ASOS 주변에 관측 고도보다 높거나 비슷한 높이의 지형과 건물 영향을 크게 받았으며, 원거리에 위치한 장애물에 의한 영향도 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 종관기상관측소의 이전과 신설 단계에서 관측 환경 평가에 활용될 것이다.

From 2015 to 2021, high-concentration fine dust episodes with a daily average PM_2.5 concentration of 50 ㎍ m^-3 or higher were selected and classified into 3 types [long range transport (LRT), mixed (MIX) and Local emission and stagnant (LES)] using synoptic chart and backward trajectory analysis. And relationships between the fine particle data (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ concentration and PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio) and meteorological data (PBLH, Ta, WS, U-wind, and Rainfall) were analyzed using hourly observation for the classification episodes on the Korean Peninsula and the Seoul metropolitan area (SMA). In LRT, relatively large particles such as dust are usually included, and in LES, fine particle is abundant. In the Korean peninsula, the rainfall was relatively increased centered on the middle and western coasts in MIX and LES. In the SMA, wind speed was rather strong in LRT and weak in LES. In LRT, rainfall was centered in Seoul, and in MIX and LES, rainfall appeared around Seoul. However, when the dust cases were excluded, the difference between the LRT and other types of air quality was decreased, but the meteorological variables (Ta, RH, Pa, PBLH, etc.) were further strengthened. In the case of the Korean Peninsula, it is difficult to find a clear relationship because regional influences (topographical elevation, cities and coasts, etc.) are complexly included in a rather wide area. In the SMA, it is analyzed that the effects of urbanization such as the urban heat island centered on Seoul coincide with the sea and land winds, resulting in a combination of high concentrations and meteorological phenomena.
