  • Various attempts have been made to explain the: pronounced seasonal and universal time (UT) variations of geomagnetic indices. As one of such attempts, we analyze the hourly-averaged auroral electroject indices obtained during the past 20 years. The AU and AL indices maximize during summer and equinoctial months, respectively. By normalizing the contribution of the solar conductivity enhancement to the AU index, or to the eastward electrojet, it is found that the AU also follows the same semiannual variation pattern of the AL index, suggesting that the electric field is the main modulator of the semiannual magnetic variation. The fact that the variation pattern of the yearly-mean AU index follows the mirror image of the AL index provides another indication that the electric field is the main modulator of magnetic disturbance. The pronounced UT variations of the auroral electrojet indices are also noted. To determine the magnetic activity dependence, the probability of recording a given activity level of AU and AL during each UT is examined. The UT variation of the AL index, thus obtained, shows a maximum at around 1200-1800 UT and a minimum around 0000-0800 UT particularly during winter. It is closely associated with the rotation of the geomagnetic pole around the rotational axis, which results in the change of the solar-originated ionospheric conductivity distribution over the polar region. On the other hand the UT variation is prominent during disturbed periods, indicating that the latitudinal mismatch between the AE stations and the auroral electrojet belt is responsible for it. Although not as prominent as the AL index, the probability distribution of the AU also shows two UT peaks. We confirm that the Dst index shows more prominent seasonal variation than the AE indices. However, the UT variation of the Dst index is only noticeable during the main phase of a magnetic storm. It is a combined result of the uneven distribution of the Dst stations and frequent developments of the partial ring current and substorm wedge current preferentially during the main phase.

  • We analyzed the recent characteristics of Particulate Matter (PM) including PM10 (PM with diameter of less than 10 ㎛) and PM2.5 (PM with diameter of less than 2.5 ㎛) observed in Busan metropolitan area, and compared them with those measured in Seoul metropolitan area. This analysis includes the monthly, seasonal, and annual variations and differences, in emissions and chemical compositions observed in both Busan and Seoul areas. Synoptic meteorological conditions were investigated at the time when high PM concentrations occurred in each of the two areas. The results showed clearly decreasing trends of annual mean concentrations with strong seasonal variations: lower in summer and higher in winter in both areas. In comparison with Seoul, the seasonal variation in Busan demonstrated relatively lower, but showed greater summer fluctuations than in Seoul metropolitan area. This is implying the importance of secondary generation of PM in summer via active photochemical reaction in Busan area. In high concentration days, Busan's chemical composition of sulfate was higher than that of nitrate in summer, whereas nitrate was higher than sulfate in Seoul. The ratios of NO3- to SO42-(N/S ratio) showed lower in Busan approximately by a factor of 1/2(half of N/S ratio) in Busan compared with that in Seoul. Others such as synoptic characteristics and emission differences were also discussed in this study.

  • We examined diurnal and seasonal variations of ozone ($O_3$) concentrations and its relation to meteorological parameters observed at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station ($32.07^{\circ}N$, $125.10^{\circ}E$, 36 m above sea level) during June 2003 and May 2005. Over the 2-year period, the mean ozone concentration was $49.5{\pm}15.5\;ppbv$. Ozone concentrations show great variability with a monthly mean up to 68.2 ppbv in May 2005 and seasonal variations with being highest in spring and fall, and lowest in summer. However, the amplitude of diurnal variation was less than ${\sim}4\;ppbv$ with a maximum at $3{\sim}4\;p.m.$ and minimum at $7{\sim}8\;a.m.$ HYSPLIT backward air trajectory indicated that the air masses with higher ozone came from the north or northwest and those with lower ozone arrived mainly via southerly or southeasterly. Ozone distributions at Ieodo Ocean Research Station were observed to be significantly impacted by long-range transport and regional scale air circulation.

  • We examined the effects of land cover types on water quality based on data surveyed during April 2007-February 2008 from 178 sites of 111 streams in Paldang watershed. BOD, COD, DO, SS, T-N, and T-P concentrations of spring and summer were strongly and significantly associated with the first principal component of the proportions of eight land cover types, and differences between all parameter's concentration except SS and T-N of spring and summer were insignificantly related with them. SS and T-N concentration of summer were significantly correlated with increase and decrease of stream flow. T-P concentration of spring was the most significantly related with the second principal component which was positively correlated with the proportions of residential and forest land covers and was negatively correlated with the proportions of paddy and grass land covers. It is necessary to manage land use of the upper watershed and stream flow for improvement in water quality because seasonal variations of each water quality parameter are dependent upon land cover and flow variations.

  • The contents of inorganic conservative constituents in the downstream water were determined in spring tides of every month from May 1977 to April 1978 at eight stations of Nagdong River. Samples were taken at the intervals of one or two hours from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. at each station. Annual ranges and means of the chemical constituents over all the stations except station one, Kupo, ate as follows: pH 6.4-9.3, 7.7; electrical conductivity $0.085-0.345\times10^3\;\mu\mho/cm,\;0.196\times10^3\;\mu\mho/cm;$ chloride 5.8-50.0ppm, 17.7ppm: fluoride ND-0.19 ppm, 0.06 ppm: sulfate 5.5-41.1 ppm, 20.7 ppm; calcium 6-26 ppm, 17 ppm; magnesium 2.0-12.8 ppm, 5.1 ppm; sodium 7-26 ppm, 13 ppm; potassium 1.4-3.8 pprn, 2.3 ppm respectively. The seasonal variations of contents of the chemical constituents were not large and showed nearly definite values at all the stations except station one, Kupo. At station one, seasonal variations were large and the contents were excessively high due to inflow of seawater compared with other stations. The values over 50 ppm in chloride were not determined during the determination period at Mul Geum where the intake station for Busan city water is located. Most constituents except pH and fluoride were over the criteria for drinking water at Kupo, while at other stations only pH value was exceeded the upper limit of the criterion especially in summer period. The pH values tended to increase in the afternoon when water temperature was high. The chloride concentration was shown the highest value at station one, Kupo, with about 2 hours delay after high water of Busan harbour and 3-3.5 hours at Mul Geum.

  • 본 연구에서는 해안 대수층에서 SHARP수치모델을 이용하여 해수와 담수의 경계면 및 해수침투 범위를 추정하고, 계절적인 영향에 대한 모델의 민감도를 분석하였다. SHARP수치모사에 의한 해수와 담수의 경계면이 연구지역내 관측정에서 측정된 해수와 담수의 경계면보다 계절적인 변화에 대하여 더 민감하게 반응하였다. 분산형 모델인 SUTRA를 이용하여 TDS와 벡터 분포를 계산하고, SHARP모델에 의하여 만들어진 Ghyben-Herzberg 경계면과 비교한 결과, 해수침투 범위의 차이는 50m이하이며, 계절적인 영향에 의한 해수침투 변동폭의 차이는 약 12m로 나타났다. 이러한 해수침투 범위의 차이는 해안 대수층의 수치모사에 이용된 광역적인 규모에 비하면 작은 편이다. 본 연구지역과 같이 광역적인 규모의 해안 대수층에서 해수와 담수의 경계면을 추정하는데, SHARP모델은 매우 유용한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 경계면 모델은 확산이 우세한 국지적인 규모의 모델링에서는 정확한 해수침투의 범위를 모사하는데 약간의 한계가 있는 것으로 보인다.

  • 목 적:계절성 정동장애에 대한 연구는 북미, 유럽과 아시아의 일본과 중국 등 여러 국가에서 시행되었지만, 한국에서는 아직 보고된 적이 없다. 이 연구는 한국의 의과대학생에서 기분과 행동의 계절적 변동의 빈도를 평가하기 위하여 시행되었다. 방 법:서울의 고려대학교 의과대학에 재학중인 학생 중 총 297명을 대상으로 하였다. 계절성을 평가하기 위하여 계절성 양상 평가 설문지(SPAQ)의 한국어 번역판을 이용하였고, 계절성 정동장애(SAD)와 아임상성 계절성 정동장애(S-SAD)를 진단하기 위하여 Kasper가 제시한 진단기준을 이용하였다. 결 과:전반적 계절성 점수(GSS)의 평균은 6.6(SD=3.9)이었다. 83.5%(N=248)가 계절성 변화가 생활에 영향을 미친다고 보고하였고, 단지 3.7%(N=11)만이 계절성 변화가 전혀 없다고 보고하였다. 전체 SAD의 유병률은 15.2%, SSAD의 유병률은 11.1%로 나타났다. 이중 여름철 SAD는 3.0%, 여름철 S-SAD는 2.7%였으며, 겨울철 SAD는 11.4%, 겨울철 S-SAD는 5.8%로 겨울철 SAD 및 S-SAD가 더 높은 유병률을 나타내었다. 결 론:이 결과를 통해 한국인에서 기분과 행동에 있어서 계절적 변동은 흔한 것임을 알 수 있다. 여름철보다 겨울철의 SAD와 S-SAD가 더 높은 유병률을 보이는 것은 미국 등에서 보고된 결과와는 일치하지만 일본, 중국과 같은 다른 아시아 국가의 보고와는 반대되는 것이다.

  • In this study, we analyzed the three dimensional variations (latitude, longitude, and height of Jet core) and wind speed of upper Jet stream in the East Asian region using recent 35 years (1979~2013) of four reanalysis data (NCEP-R2, MERRA, ERA-Interim. and JRA-55). Most of Jet core is located in $30.0{\sim}37.5^{\circ}N$ and $13.0{\sim}157.5^{\circ}E$ although there are slight differences among the four reanalysis data. The wind speed differences among reanalysis are about $3m\;s^{-1}$ regardless of seasons, the weakest in NCEP-R2 and the strongest in JRA-55. Although significance level is not high, most of reanalysis showed that the Jet core has a tendency of southward moving during spring and winter, but moving northward during summer and fall. This amplified seasonal variation of Jet core suggests that seasonal variations of weather/climate can be increased in the East Asian region. The longitude of Jet core has a tendency of systematically westward moving and decreasing of zonal variations regardless of averaging methods and reanalysis data. In general, the Jet core shows a tendency of moving south-west-ward and upward, getting intensified during spring and winter regardless of the reanalysis data. However, the Jet core shows a tendency of moving westward and downward, and getting weakened during summer. In fall, there were no distinctive trends not only in wind speed but also three dimensional locations compared to other seasons. Although the significance levels are not high and variation patterns are slightly different according to the reanalysis data, our findings are more or less different from the previous results. So, more works are needed to clarify the three dimensional variation patterns of Jet core over the East Asian region as a result of global warming.
