Among Solar activities' events, the geomagnetic storms are believed to cause the largest atmospheric effects. The geomagnetic storm is a complex process of solar wind/magnetospheric origin. It is well known to affect severely on the ionosphere. However, this effect of this complex process will maybe act at various altitudes in the atmosphere, even including the lower layer and the neutral middle atmosphere, particularly the stratosphere. Nowadays, the GPS-derived ZTD (zenith tropospheric delay) can be transformed into the precipitable water vapor (PWV) through a function relation, and further has been widely used in meteorology, especially in improving the precision of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. However, such geomagnetic effects on the atmosphere are ignored in GPS meteorology applications. In this paper, we will investigate the geomagnetic storms' effects on the middle atmosphere and troposphere (0-100km) by GPS observations and other data. It has found that geomagnetic storms' effect on the atmosphere also appears in the troposphere, but the mechanism to interpret correlations in the troposphere need be further studied.

This study analyzes the correlation between Western Pacific (WP) teleconnection pattern index (WPI) in April during 1954-2008 and rainfall amounts in the same month. Based on the results, it is identified that there have been strong positive correlations between central China, Korea and the southwestern part of Japan in the East Asian region. Through differences between 10 positive WP years and 10 negative WP years selected from the April WPI excluding ENSO years, it is found that rainfall amounts increase in April of positive WP years due to the following characteristics. Increases in rainfall amounts are evident in the East Asian middle latitudinal region where the positive correlation between the two variables is the highest and this is because anomalous southwesterlies are strengthened in the East Asian middle latitudinal region due to the spatial pattern of a south-low-north-high anomalous pressure system centered on this region that is made by anomalous anticyclones centered on the southeastern side of the region and other anomalous anticyclones centered on the northeastern side of the region. In addition, anomalous westerlies (jet) are strengthen in the upper troposphere of the East Asian middle latitudinal region and as a result, anomalous upward flows are strengthened in this region and thus anomalous warm air temperatures are formed in the entire level of the troposphere in the region. In addition to atmospheric environments, anomalous warm sea surface temperatures are formed in the seas in the East Asian middle latitudinal region to help the rainfall amount increases in the East Asian middle latitudinal region.

본 연구에서는 Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) 위성자료를 이용하여 2005년부터 2008년 사이에 활동하였던 Anatahan, La Cumbre, Sierra Negra, Piton 화산 플룸에 존재하는 고농도의 이산화황에 따른 Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (OMI-TOMS)와 Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer (OMI-DOAS) 오존 전량 값의 차이를 정량적으로 비교하였다. 화산 플룸에서 OMI 센서로 측정한 이산화황 농도($OMI-SO_2$)에 따른 두 오존 전량 값의 사이의 차이에서 상당히 높은 상관성($R{\geq}0.5$)과 두 오존 전량 값 사이의 차이가 최대 100 DU에 가깝게 나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 선행연구에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 OMI-TOMS 알고리즘에서 사용하는 파장영역에서 이산화황의 흡수신호가 강하기 때문에, 이산화황의 농도가 높은 환경에서 오존 산출 시 이산화황의 영향을 받은 것으로 보인다. 이외에도 정량적인 분석을 위하여, 이산화황의 농도에 따라 구간별로 나누어 이산화황의 농도에 따른 두 오존 전량 값의 차이 및 이산화황의 농도가 1.0 DU 증가함에 따른 두 오존 전량의 차이를 계산하였다. 이산화황의 농도가 7.0 DU 이상의 높은 조건에서는 두 오존 전량 값 차이의 평균 값이 32.9 DU (표준편차 = 13.5 DU)로 이산화황의 농도가 증가함에 따른 두 오존 전량의 상당한 차이를 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 TRM (Middle troposphere; Center of mass altitude (CMA) = 7.5 km) 과 STL (Upper troposphere and Stratosphere; CMA= 17 km) 층에서 1.0 DU의 이산화황의 농도가 증가하는 경우 두 오존 값의 차이는 3.9 DU와 4.9 DU로 계산되었다.

In the case study of this paper, sensitivity experiments are carried out using the mesoscale non-hydrostatic Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to investigate the impact of tropical cyclone (TC) Soudelor (2003) on the East Asian subtropical upper-level jet (EASJ) before TC Soudelor transformed into an extratropical cyclone. The physical mechanism for changes in the EASJ intensity and position caused by TC Soudelor is explored. Results indicate that TC Soudelor would warm the air in the middle and upper troposphere over the Japan Sea and the adjacent areas through stimulating northward propagating teleconnection pattern as well as releasing large amounts of latent heat, which led to increase (decrease) the meridional air temperature gradient to the south (north) below the EASJ axis. As a result, the geopotential height abnormally increased in the upper troposphere, resulting in an anomalous anticyclonic circulation belt along the EASJ axis. Correspondingly, the westerly winds to the north (south) of the EASJ axis intensified (weakened) and the EASJ axis shifted northward by one degree. The case study also suggests that before the extratropical cyclone transition of TC Soudelor, the TC activities had exerted significant impacts on the EASJ through thermodynamic processes.

중간 및 상부 대류권의 전구 온도 경향을 1980-97년 기간의 위성관측 MSU 직하점 채널2-3의 밝기온도와 1981-93년 기간의 세 종류의 대순환모델(NCEP, ECMWT, GEOS) 재분석 자료를 통하여 조사하였다. 전구, 북반구, 남반구, 열대 지역에 대한 이들 자료의 아노말리가 공통 기간에 대하여 다음 지역에서 세부적으로 계산된 후 비교되었다; 해양, 육지, 해양 및 육지, 중간 대류권의 경우에 MSU에 대한 모델들의 상관은 ECMWF에서 가장 높았으며(r=0.81${\sim}$0.95), 이러한 경향은 열대에서 현저하였다. 상부 대류권에서의 상관은 MSU 채널3 자료의 부정확성으로 인하여 낮았으며(r=0.06${\sim}$0.34), 이는 기존 연구와 일치하였다. 중간 대류권에서의 전구 온도 경향은 위성관측과 모델들에서 0.01${\sim}$0.18K decade$^{-1}$의 온난화를 보였다. 여기서 엘니뇨 기간인 1987, 1991년에 양의 아노말리, 그리고 라니냐 기간인 1993, 1994년에는 음의 아노말리를 보였다. MSU에서 온난화 경향의 세기는 해양과 육지에서 비슷하였다(0.12${\sim}$0.13K decade$^{-1}$). 상부 대류권에서 MSU와 모델들 사이의 가장 큰 불일치는 MSU 채널3 자료의 오차로 인하여 NOAA 9와 10의 교체 기간(1984. 12-1985. 1)에 나타났다. 한반도 부근의 중간 대류권에서 온도 경향은 1981-93년 기간에 위성관측에서 거의 무시할 만하였으나(-0.02K decade$^{-1}$), 모델들에서 상당한 온난화(0.25${\sim}$0.43K decade$^{-1}$)를 보였다. 이러한 경향들을 Spencer and Christy(1992a, 1992b)의 독립적인 MSU 결과들과 비교 ${\cdot}$ 토의하였다.

Analyses of observational data and numerical simulations were performed to understand the mechanism of MCSs (Mesoscale Convective Systems) occurred on 13-14 July 2004 over Jindo area of the Korean Peninsula. Observations indicated that synoptic environment was favorable for the occurrence of heavy rainfall. This heavy rainfall appeared to have been enhanced by convergence around the Changma front and synoptic scale lifting. From the analyses of storm environment using Haenam upper-air observation data, it was confirmed that strong convective instability was present around the Jindo area. Instability indices such as K-index, SSI-index showed favorable condition for strong convection. In addition, warm advection in the lower troposphere and cold advection in the middle troposphere were detected from wind profiler data. The size of storm, that produced heavy rainfall over Jindo area, was smaller than $50{\times}50km^2$ according to radar observation. The storm developed more than 10 km in height, but high reflectivity (rain rate 30 mm/hr) was limited under 6 km. It can be judged that convection cells, which form cloud clusters, occurred on the inflow area of the Changma front. In numerical simulation, high CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) was found in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula. However, heavy rainfall was restricted to the Jindo area with high CIN (Convective INhibition) and high CAPE. From the observations of vertical drop size distribution from MRR (Micro Rain Radar) and the analyses of numerically simulated hydrometeors such as graupel etc., it can be inferred that melted graupels enhanced collision and coalescence process of heavy precipitation systems.

본 연구에서는 2005년부터 2007년 사이에 중국 공업지대에서 Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) 센서에서 관측한 이산화황 값의 증가에 따른 Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (OMI-TOMS)와 Differential Optical Absorption Spectrometer (OMI-DOAS) 오존전량 값의 차이를 위성자료를 이용하여 비교를 수행하였다. 중국 공업지대에서는 Planetary boundary layer (PBL)내의 이산화황을 나타내는 PBL $SO_2$ 자료가 사용되었다. 중국 공업지대에서 PBL내의 이산화황 농도 증가에 대하여 두 오존 값의 차이가 증가하는 경향성(R (Correlation coefficient) = 0.36)이 나타났다. 이산화황 이외에 두 오존 산출 알고리즘에 모두 영향을 미칠 수 있는 에어로솔 광학 두께(AOD; Aerosol Optical Depth)가 증가하는 경우 이산화황과 두 오존 값의 차이 사이의 회귀식의 기울기($1.83{\leq}slope{\leq}2.36$)가 비슷하게 유지되는 경향이 나타났다. 이는 다양한 AOD 조건에서도 이산화황이 두 오존 값의 차이를 증가시키는 관계가 나타나는 경향은 거의 비슷하게 유지되는 것으로 생각된다. 중국 공업지대에서 PBL내에 존재하는 이산화황과 화산 폭발에 의하여 고층(Middle troposphere (TRM), Upper troposphere and Stratosphere (STL))에서 존재하는 이산화황의 농도가 1 DU 증가하는 경우 두 오존 값의 차이는 각각 1.6 DU, 3.9 DU, 4.9 DU로 계산되었다. 고층(TRM, STL)의 이산화황과 저층(PBL)의 이산화황이 증가하는 경우 두 오존 값의 차이가 다르게 나타나는 것은 이산화황이 존재하는 고도에 따라서 두 오존 값의 차이에 미치는 영향이 다름을 의미한다. 이는 OMI-TOMS 오존을 산출하는데 사용되는 파장영역(317.5 nm)에서 행성경계층에서 이산화황에 의해 흡수되는 복사휘도의 감소된 민감도에 의한 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, we present the analysis of vertical ozone sounding data observed over Pohang, Korea, and investigate to understand the governing mechanisms for seasonal ozone maximum in June. The vertical ozone profiles in June show that the ozone enhancement is clearly shown in the middle and upper troposphere. We have found that the June maximum is associated with the transport of ozone rich air from the stratosphere and polluted continental air mass. This is different from the previous studies shown that the regionally polluted continental air mass, influenced by the intense anthropogenic activities m northeast Asia during transport, is responsible for the ozone maximum in spring.

A two-dimensional photochemical transport model (2D PTM) is simulated to describe the transport and chemical reaction of ozone related to aerosols in the troposphere and stratosphere. The vertical profiles and total amounts of ozone, which are advected by both residual Eulerian circulation and the adiabatic circulation under certain circumstance, have been compared with the observation data such as ozonesondes, Brewer spectrometer, the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrophotometer (TOMS). As a result, we find that the observed distribution of ozone Is adequately reproduced in the model at middle and high latitude in the Northern Hemisphere as well as at Phang ($36^{\circ}\;02'N,\;129^{\circ}\;23'E$) in South Korea. In particular, the 2D PTM is well simulated in the ozone decrease due to the Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991. However, ozone mixing ratio are more underestimated than those of UARS and ozonesondes, because are very sensitive to the latitude of transport across the tropopause associated with both Rummukainen errors and off-line model. Relative mean bias errors and relative root mean square errors of ozone calculations using the 2D PTM are shown within${\pm}10%$, respectively.

This study investigates synoptic characteristics of cold surges over South Korea during winter season (December-February). A total of 63 cold events are selected by quantile regression analysis using daily mean temperature observations from 11 KMA stations for 38 years (1979/80-2016/17). Large-scale pressure pattern during the cold surges is well characterized by high over Siberia and low over Aleutian regions, which elucidates cold advection over the Korean peninsula. However, the large-scale pattern cannot successfully explain the observed sudden decrease of temperature during the cold surges. Composite analyses reveal that a synoptic-scale cyclone developing over the northern Japan is a key feature that significantly contribute to the enhancement of cold advection by increasing pressure gradient over the Korean peninsula. Enhanced sensible and latent heat fluxes are observed over the southern ocean of Korea and Japan during the cold surges due to temperature and humidity differences between the near surface and the lower atmosphere over the ocean. The evaporated water vapor transported toward the center of the surface cyclone and condenses in the lower-to-middle troposphere. The released energy likely promotes the development of the surface cyclone by inducing positive PV near the surface of the heating region.
