The Indian summer monsoon behaved an abnormal way in 2002 and as a result there was a large deficiency in precipitation (especially in July) over a large part of the Indian subcontinent. For the study of deficient monsoon of 2002, a recent version of the NCAR regional climate model (RegCM3) has been used to examine the important features of summer monsoon circulations and precipitation during 2002. The main characteristics of wind fields at lower level (850 hPa) and upper level (200 hPa) and precipitation simulated with the RegCM3 over the Indian subcontinent are studied using different cumulus parameterization schemes namely, mass flux schemes, a simplified Kuo-type scheme and Emanuel (EMU) scheme. The monsoon circulation features simulated by RegCM3 are compared with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and simulated precipitation is validated against observation from the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC). Validation of the wind fields at lower and upper levels show that the use of Arakawa and Schubert (AS) closure in Grell convection scheme, a Kuo type and Emanuel schemes produces results close to the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. Similarly, precipitation simulated with RegCM3 over different homogeneous zones of India with the AS closure in Grell is more close to the corresponding observed monthly and seasonal values. RegcM3 simulation also captured the spatial distribution of deficient rainfall in 2002.

MODIS/Terra level 3 and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data from 2001 to 2008 have been analyzed to understand long-term aerosol and cloud optical properties, and their relationships around Korea. Interestingly, cloud fraction(CF) has the similar annual variation to aerosol optical depth (${\tau}_a$) without any temporal significant trend. Horizontal distributions of ${\tau}_a$ showed the substantial horizontal gradient from China to Korea, especially with the strong difference over the Yellow Sea, which could represent the evidence of the anthropogenic influence from China in the perspective of long-term average. Specifically the negative correlations between ${\tau}_a$ and liquid-phase cloud effective radius ($r_e$) were shown on the monthly-average basis, only in summer with significant associations over the Yellow Sea, but not in the other seasons and/or specific regions. Relationship between ${\tau}_a$ and CF for the low-level liquid-phase clouds exhibited the overall positive correlation, being consistent with cloud lifetime effect. Meanwhile static stability showed no deterministic relationships with ${\tau}_a$ as well as CF. The dependence of aerosol-cloud relationship on the meteorological conditions should be examined more in detail with the satellite remote sensing and reanalysis data.

CALPUFF is one of the recommended air pollution models by EPA with AERMOD. It has been used to simulate the ambient concentration of critical air pollutants as well as non-critical pollutants such as persistent organic matters and the organic materials causing odor. In this model, the air pollutants go through dispersion, transportation, chemical reaction, and deposition process. These mechanisms are significantly influenced by meteorological condition. This study produces the meteorological field in three different methods for the simulation of $SO_2$ using CALPUFF: 1) CALMET model by using both ground-level and aerological observation, 2) CALMET model by using MM5 results with NCEP/NCAR reanalyzed data, 3) CALMET model by using MM5 results in which FDDA is applied with NCEP/NCAR reanalyzed data as well as the meteorological data of Korea Meteorological Administration. As a result of CALPUFF model, the resolved concentration of $SO_2$ showed different behaviors in three cases. For the first case, the fluctuation of SO2 concentration was frequently observed while the fluctuation is reduced in the second and third cases. In addition, the maximum concentration of $SO_2$ in the first case was about 2~3 times higher than the second case, and about 4~6 times higher than the third case. These results can be caused by the accuracy of the resolved meteorological field. It is inferred that the meteorological field of the first case could be less accurate than other two cases. These results show that the use of correct meteorological data can improve the result of dispersion model. Moreover, the contribution of various sources such as point, line, and area sources on the ambient concentration of air pollutant can be roughly estimated from the sensitivity analysis.

It is well known that there is an inverse relationship between the strength of Indian summer monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) and extent of Eurasian snow cover/depth in the preceding season. Tibetan snow cover/depth also affects the Asian monsoon rainy season largely. The positive correlation between Tibetan sensible heat flux and southeast Asian rainfall suggest an inverse relationship between Tibetan snow cover and southeast Asian rainfall. Developments in Regional Climate Models suggest that the effect of Tibetan snow on the ISMR can be well studied by Limited Area Models (LAMs). LAMs are used for regional climate studies and operational weather forecast of several hours to 3 days in future. The Eta model developed by the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), the Fifth-Generation NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5) and Regional Climate Model (RegCM) have been used for weather prediction as well as for the study of present-day climate and variability over different parts of the world. Regional Climate Model (RegCM3) has been widely . used for various mesoscale studies. However, it has not been tested to study the characteristics of circulation features and associated rainfall over India so far. In the present study, Regional Climate Model (RegCM-3) has been integrated from 1 st April to 30th September for the years 1993-1996 and monthly mean monsoon circulation features and rainfall simulated by the model at 55km resolution have been studied for the Indian summer monsoon season. Characteristics of wind at 850hPa and 200hPa, temperature at 500hPa, surface pressure and rainfall simulated by the model have been examined for two convective schemes such as Kuo and Grell with Arakawa-Schubert as the closure scheme, Model simulated monsoon circulation features have been compared with those of NCEP/NCAR reanalyzed fields and the rainfall with those of India Meteorological Department (IMD) observational rainfall datasets, Comparisons of wind and temperature fields show that Grell scheme is closer to the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, The influence of Tibetan snowdepth in spring season on the summer monsoon circulation features and subsequent rainfall over India have been examined. For such sensitivity experiment, NIMBUS-7 SMMR snowdepth data have been used as a boundary condition in the RegCM3, Model simulation indicates that ISMR is reduced by 30% when 10cm of snow has been introduced over Tibetan region in the month of previous April. The existence of Tibetan snow in RegCM3 also indicates weak lower level monsoon westerlies and upper level easterlies.

아시아 주요 곡물 생산지의 경제 성장과 지표 이용 변화에 따른 인간 활동의 증가는 아시아 몬순의 경향을 변화 시켰다. 본 연구에서는 지표-해양 대비, 하층제트 기류(LLJ), 티벳 고층 및 상층 편동풍 제트 기류를 포함한 인도 여름 몬순의 중요한 구성 요소를 모사하여 지역기후 모형 (RegCM3)의 성능을 평가하였다. 3년(1994: 다우 해, 2002: 평균 해, 2002: 가뭄 해)의 비교 자료를 선택하여 RegCM3은 매년 4월 1일부터 10월 1일까지 60 km의 해상도로 적분하였다. 순환과 강수 모사 결과는 NCEP/NCAR 재해석 자료와 Global Precipitation Climatology Centre(GPCC)의 관측 자료로 검증하였다. RegCM3 모형 모사의 중요 결과는 다음과 같다. (a) LLJ 는 다소 강하였으며 아라비아해에서 다우 해에 두 개로 분할되었으나, 평균 및 가뭄 해에서는 분할되지 않았다. (b) 단일의 대형 고기압이 다우 해에 존재하였으나, 가뭄 해에는 약하고 두 개의 고기압대로 분할되었다. (c) 강수의 공간분포 모사는 대부분 인도 지역에서 GPCC의 관측 강수량과 유사하였다. (d) NIMBUS-7 SMMR 적설 자료를 이용한 민감도 실험에서 북동 및 남부 인도 반도 지역에서 주로 강수량의 감소가 나타났으며, 티벳 지역에서는 4월 적설량이 0.1m 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Antarctica is very sensitive to climate change but the number of stations is not sufficient to accurately analyze climate change in this regoin. Model reanalysis data supplements the lack of observation and can be used as long term data to verify climate change. In this study, the 20CR (Twentieth Century Reanalysis) Project data from NCEP/NCAR and monthly mean data (temperature, solar radiation and longwave radiation) from 1871 to 2008, was used to analyze the temperature trend and change in radiation. The 20CR data was used to validate the observation data from Antarctica since 1950 and the correlation coefficients between these data were determined to be over 0.95 at all stations. The temperature increased by approximately $0.23^{\circ}C$/decade during the study period and over $0.20^{\circ}C$/decade over all of the months. This increasing trend was observed throughout the Antarctica and a slight increase was observed in the Antarctic Peninsula. In addition, solar radiation (surface) and longwave radiation (surface and top of atmosphere) trends correlated with the increase in temperature. As a result, outgoing longwave radiation at the surface is attenuated by atmospheric water vapor or clouds and radiation at the top of the atmosphere was reduced. In addition, the absorbed energy in the atmosphere increases the temperature of the atmosphere and surface, and then the heated surface emits more longwave radiation. Eventually these processes are repeated in a positive feedback loop, which results in a continuous rise in temperature.

몽골의 태양-기상자원지도는 위성자료 및 재분석 자료를 이용하여 개발되었다. 태양복사량은 단층 태양복사모델을 이용하였으며 입력자료는 SRTM, MODIS, OMI, MTSAT-1R 등의 위성관측자료와 전구모델의 재분석자료를 이용하였다. 계산된 결과는 NCEP/NCAR 재분석 DSWRF 자료를 이용하여 계산된 일사량을 검증하였다. 몽골은 서부의 산악지역과 중남부의 사막 및 반사막지대로 이루어져 있으며 대륙 내부에 위치하여 강수량이 적고 맑은 날이 많아 동일 위도상의 다른 지역과 비교하여 높은 일사량이 나타난다. 서부 산악지역은 고도가 높아 태양에너지가 많이 도달되는 곳임에도 불구하고 일사량이 낮게 나타난다. 그 이유는 산악지역에 존재하는 연중 적설이 위성자료의 구름탐지 알고리즘에서 구름으로 오탐지 되기 때문이다. 따라서 청천지수뿐만 아니라 일사량 또한 낮게 계산된다. 남부지역은 상대적으로 높은 가강수량과 에어로솔 광학두께가 나타났으나 다른 지역에 비해 위도가 낮고 청천지수가 높아 일사량이 높게 나타나는 것으로 분석된다. 계산된 월 누적 일사량은 547.59 MJ로써 전 지점에서 약 2.89 MJ로 높게 계산되었으며 상관성은 0.99였고 평방근오차(Root Mean Square Error; RMSE)는 6.17 MJ 이었다. 월별 통계 값을 계산하였을 때 상관성이 가장 높은 월은 10월로 0.94였고 3월은 0.62로 가장 낮게 나타났다.

본 연구는 우리나라 주변 해역에서 Advanced Scatterometer(ASCAT) 해상풍 격자 자료(Daily Advanced Scatterometer, DASCAT)의 정확성을 평가하고자 우리나라 주변 해양관측부이 자료와 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 뿐만 아니라 European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF, 이하 ECMWF), National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research(NCEP/NCAR, 이하 NCEP), Modern Era Retrospective-analysis for Research and Applications-2(MERRA-2, 이하 MERRA)에서 제공하는 10-m 해상풍 재분석자료에 대한 비교 및 분석이 추가적으로 수행되었다. 그 결과, DASCAT은 전반적으로 실제 풍속(해양관측부이)에 비하여 약 3 m/s의 RMSE를 나타내며 상관 관계는 동서 바람 성분의 경우 전 지역 0.8 이상의 높은 상관성을 보이지만 남북 바람 성분에 대한 상관성은 서해에서 0.7이하로 낮게 나타난다. 실제 풍속이 10 m/s 이하로 불 때 풍속에 대한 가장 높은 정확성을 나타내는 것은 ECMWF이며 DASCAT, MERRA, NCEP 순이다. 하지만 10 m/s 이상의 실제 풍속에서는 DASCAT이 가장 높은 정확성을 나타낸다. 풍향에 따른 오차 특성은 실제 바람이 동서방향으로 불 때 $70^{\circ}$ 이상의 풍향에 대한 오차가 모든 자료에서 발생하며 남북 성분의 바람이 강화될 때 약 $50^{\circ}$ 수준의 오차가 발생한다. 이러한 결과에서 ECMWF가 가장 높은 정확성을 보인다. 풍향에 따른 풍속의 오차 수준은 실제 바람이 부는 방향에 따라 풍속에 대한 정확성 수준이 변화한다. 특히, 서풍 및 남풍 계열의 바람이 불 때 풍속에 대한 RMSE가 큰 자료는 MERRA이지만 동풍 및 북풍 계열의 바람이 불 때는 NCEP이 가장 큰 RMSE를 나타낸다.
