  • The upper ocean in the western equatorial Pacific warm pool during TOGA-COARE IMET IOP was simulated using a one-dimensional turbulence closure ocean mixed-layer model, which considered recent observations, such as the remarkable enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy near the ocean surface. The shoaling/deepening of the mixed layer and warming/cooling subsurface water in the model were in reasonable agreement with the observations. There was a significant improvement in simulating the cooling trend of the sea surface temperature under a westerly wind burst with heavy rainfall over previous simulations using bulk mixed-layer models. By contrast the simulated sea surface salinity (SSS) departed significantly from the observed SSS, especially during a westerly burst and the subsequent restratification period, which might be due to 3-D control processes, such as downwelling/upwelling or advection.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라에서 개발된 강우운동에너지식을 토대로 강우침식인자를 산정하여 기존 학계에서 국외 강우운동에너지식으로 계산되어 사용되어온 기존 강우침식인자 값과 어떤 차이점이 있는지를 비교 분석하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 최근까지 학계에서 발표된 국내 강우운동에너지식을 수집하고, 강우강도에 따른 강우운동에너지의 변화 양상을 비교 검토하였다. 4개의 강우운동에너지식을 비교해본 결과, 관측기간과 관측지점, 유도 방법의 차이로 인해 편차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 본 연구에서는 통계적인 방법을 이용하여 4개의 강우운동에너지식의 평균값을 나타낼 수 있는 전역적 강우운동에너지식을 제안하였다.

  • 호우사상의 특성은 기후별, 국가별, 지역별, 계절별로 차이가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 강우운동 에너지는 호우사상 특성 중에 하나로서 강우강도와 강우운동에너지의 관계로 규명할 수 있다. 전세계 학자들이 자국의 호우사상을 분석하여 유도한 강우운동에너지식이 보고되고 있음에도 불구하고, 지난 40여 년 동안 전세계적으로 유독 미국의 호우사상으로부터 유도된 강우운동에너지식이 범용성을 가지고 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 강우운동에너지에 대한 연구로서 최근까지 학계에 보고된 강우운동에너지식을 수집하여 기후에 따른 해당 지역의 강우운동에너지 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 강우운동에너지식이 유도된 방법과 호우사상에 초점을 맞추었으며, 이를 바탕으로 한국과 유사한 기후에서 유도된 강우운동에너지식과 한국의 강우운동에너지식을 비교 분석하였다.

  • This study was conducted to redetermine the rainfall erosion factor (R factor) in USLE for the estimation of soil loss at Korea. The redetermined R factor may be applied more precisely to interpret the changes of regional/yearly/seasonal patterns, including the amount of rainfall and the kinetic energy of rainfall, in Korea. This study calculated the R factors based on 60-minute precipitation data from 60 sites covering the whole country for 30 years from 1981 to 2010. As a result, the annual mean rainfall was $4,147MJ\;mm\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$ in Korea. Coastal regions of Jeonnam and Gyeongnam, northwest regions of Gyeonggi, and Seoul had the greater values of R factor compared to other regions. The annual mean R factors for every decade were 3,988, 4,085, and $4,370MJ\;mm\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$ in 1981~1990, 1991~2000, and 2001~2010, respectively. Generally, the R factors had an increasing tendency over and over pest decades. The ratios of summer R factor to total annual mean R factor were 69.8% (1981~1990), 73.7% (1991~2000), and 74.2% (2001~2010). We found that the absolute values and the relative ratios of summer rainfall are gradually increased.

  • 무분별한 개발사업으로 인하여 발생되는 토양 침식 피해를 최소화시키기 위해서는 정확한 토양 침식량을 추정해야 한다. 현재 토양 침식량을 추정하기 위한 공식으로 Wischmeier와 Smith(1997)가 발표한 범양 토양손실공식(RUSLE, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)을 주로 사용하고 있다. RUSLE 공식의 매개변수 중 하나인 강우침식능 인자 R은 실무에서는 단일강우 확률강우량의 시간분포 강우량에 대하여 강우침식능을 산정하는 방법을 널리 사용하고 있으나, 연평균 강우침식능을 사용하는 경우도 많다. 국립방재연구소(2009)는 전국 53개소의 1960년대~2008년까지의 1시간 강우자료를 이용하여 연평균 강우침식능을 산정한 바 있고, 본 연구에서는 국립방재연구소의 자료(2009)에 23개소를 추가 하고 2009년~2010년 강우자료를 추가하여 강우침식능을 산정하였다. 강우침식능 산정 시 사용되는 강우 운동에너지 공식은 국내외에서 여러 가지 공식이 제안되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 RUSLE와 USLE에서 추천하고 있는 식과 노재경 등(1984)의 식, van Dijk(2002) 식을 이용하여 각각의 연평균 강우침식능을 산정하고 전국 연평균 강우침식도를 재산정하였다. 연평균 R값의 76개 지점평균은 RUSLE 식 4890, USLE 식 5538, 노재경 식 4608, van Dijk 식 5444 MJ/ha mm/hr로 산정되었다. 에너지식에 따라 값은 최대 930 MJ/ha mm/hr 차이를 보였으나, 분포 양상은 경북 지역을 제외한 모든 유역에서 비슷함을 알 수 있었다. 노재경 식은 서울과 수원의 관측자료를 이용하여 제안된 식으로 타 식에 비하여 우리나라의 강우특성을 비교적 잘 고려한다고 판단되지만, 시간 및 공간적으로 제한된 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 식이므로 실무 적용을 위해서는 추가적인 검정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This paper aims to describe the relation between the weather condition, especially typhoon and a shipwreck in Korean waters. For this study, it was investigated the statistical characteristics of a shipwreck due to the weather, pressure patterns governing the shipwreck in Korean waters. and the relation between the intensity of typhoon and the amount of a disaster. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The monthly occurrence frequency of a shipwreck was the heighest in July followed by February, March in descending order. 2) The pressure patterns governing the shipwreck were classified broadly into six types and pressure pattern which had most occurrence frequency of a shipwreck was Type V and then cames Type I, Type III and type IV in that order. 3) Occurence frequency of a shipwreck and the amount of a kinetic energy of typhoon have nothing to do with each other. In case of Wind-Typhoon that brought more a strong wind than a heavy rainfall, there were seriously affected ships and buildings by the wind.

  • Single-drop splash/detachment studies and multiple-drop splash/detachment experiments were carried out to measure detachment by single and multiple drops. A raindrop tower 7.0 m in height was used to study soil splash by single drop raindrop impact over time on repacked soil samples in containers 76.2 mm in diameter. The waterdrop diameter and kinetic energy were 4.1 mm and $1.22{\times}10^{-3}$ J $drop^{-1}$, respectively. The samples consisted of five agricultural topsoils sieved to <2 mm, varying from sandy loam to clay loam in texture. The average weight of splashed soil particles after 75 drops did not show any significant difference between the five soils. The average weight of particles splashed by the first 15 drops showed that the sandy Pelham soil splashed to a greater degree than the others, and was therefore more detachable (p=0.05) than the other soils. The average weight of particles splashed by the last 15 drops also showed that the Pelham soil was the most detachable, with Cecil, Appling, Dyke, and Worsham soils being progressively less detachable. The effect of multiple drops on detachment was studied under a nozzle-type rainfall simulator at 74.9 mm $h^{-1}$ intensity for 85 min using the same soils as the single drop experiments. The total soil splash value for 85 min on Appling, Cecil, Dyke, Pelham, and Worsham soils were 6121, 6206, 4183, 5160, and 3247 g $m^{-2}$, respectively. There were no obvious relationships between soil loss measured from the different experiments.

  • Relationships between soil saturated hydraulic conductivity ($K_s$) and porosity (${\phi}$) have been developed over many years; however, use of these relationships for evaluating rain-induced seals is limited mainly because of difficulties in estimating seal pore-size characteristics. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the $K_s$ of soil surface seals over a range of thicknesses, where seal thickness was determined using a High-Resolution-Computed-Tomography (HRCT) scanner, and to investigate relationships between $K_s$ and ${\phi}$ of developing seals in samples with equivalent diameters (e.d.) ${\geq}15\;{\mu}m$. A Mexico silt loam soil was packed to a bulk density (${\rho}_b$) of $1.1\;Mg\;m^{-3}$ in cylinders 160-mm i.d. by 160-mm long and subjected to $61-mm\;h^{-1}$ simulated rainfall having a kinetic energy (KE) of $25\;J\;m^{-2}\;min^{-1}$ for 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 min to create a range in seal development. Thicknesses of the seal layers were determined by analysis of HRCT images of seals. The $K_s$ values of the seals were estimated using an effective $K_s$ value ($K_{s-eff}$). The $K_s-{\phi}$ relationship was described by a Kozeny and Carmen equation, $K_s=B{\phi}^n$; where B and n are empirical constants and n = 31. This approach explained 86% of the variation between $K_s$ and ${\phi}$ within the soil seals. Knowledge of surface seal information and hydraulic conductivity can provide useful information to use in management of sites prone to sealing formation.
