In this study, changes in precipitation across South Korea during snow seasons (November-April) and their potential are examined. Current (1973/74-2006/07) and future (2081-2100) time series of snow indices including snow season, snow-to-precipitation ratio, and snow impossible day are extracted from observed snow and precipitation data for 61 weather stations as well as observed and modeled daily temperature data. Analyses of linear trends reveal that snow seasons have shortened by 3-13 days/decade; that the snow-to-precipitation ratio (the percentage of snow days relative to precipitation days) has decreased by 4-8 %/decade. These changes are associated with pronounced formations of a positive pressure anomaly core over East Asia during the positive Arctic Oscillation winter years since the late 1980s. A snow-temperature statistical model demonstrates that the warming due to the positive core winter intensifies changes from snow to rain at the rate of $4.7cm/^{\circ}C$. The high pressure anomaly pattern has also contributed to decreases of air-sea thermal gradient which are associated with the reduction of snow could formation. Modeled data predict that a fingerprint of wintertime global warming causing changes from snow to rain will continue to be observed over the 21st century.

The monthly number of days with rain or snow in Seoul extends backward to 1626 from the present. The number of rain and snow days are from the ancient records and combined with the modern precipitation records from 1907 to the present. There are two distinct and abrupt changes in the time series, which allow us to divide the entire period into three sub-periods of CR-I, CR-II, and MR. For each sub-period, we calculated the basic statistics and the associated distributions. The analysis proves Seoul, which may comprise East Asia when considering the lengthy period of dry condition, had dry climate for the Maunder Minimum when Europe experienced cold climate. We also note relationships between the rain days and sunspot numbers in various frequency bands.

본 연구에서는 우리나라에 출현하는 황사에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위하여, 우리나라의 황사 출현일수와 대기순환지수인 북극진동지수, 남극진동지수와 유라시아 대륙 적설면적과의 관계를 분석하였다. 우리나라의 황사 출현일수는 1980년대 중반 이후 증가하고 있는 경향이다. 월별로는 4월에 황사 출현일수가 집중되었고 전반기의 3.2일에서 후반기의 5.1일로 1.9일 증가하였다. 황사 출현일수와 겨울철 북극진동지수 및 남극진동지수와는 정적인 관계가 있었다. 이는 겨울철 북극진동지수와 남극진동지수가 양의 값일 때 황사 출현일수가 증가한다고 할 수 있다. 황사 출현일수와 유라시아 대륙 적설면적과는 부적인 관계가 있었다. 이는 유라시아에 적설면적이 감소하면 황사 출현일수가 증가한다고 할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : This study is to investigate the countermeasures against heavy snow on road in Seoul: Focusing on Seocho 1-dong. METHODS : Since 2000, three cases of the top 10 in the highest snow fall depth in a day occurred in 2001(234mm, 156mm) and 2010(258mm) and the possibility of heavy snow is getting higher. 10 days after heavy snow fall when the snow thaws, socio-economic damages occurred often. For example, the insufficient snow removing, difficulty in patients transfer, crash accidents, injuries from a fall, the increasing cost of snow removing etc. RESULTS : For the effective deploying snow removing equipment and workers, it is necessary to understand emergency snow removing spots. Seocho 1-dong was tested because it contains mountains, hill and urban areas as well as various buildings and road types exposures. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the domestic and international heavy snow researches, the elements for vulnerability were analyzed and vulnerable areas to snow fall were derived.

PURPOSES : In this study, systematic road snow-removal capabilities were estimated based on previous historical data for road-snowremoval works. The final results can be used to aid decision-making strategies for cost-effective snow-removal works by regional offices. METHODS : First, road snow-removal historical data from the road snow-removal management system (RSMS), operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, were employed to determine specific characteristics of the snow-removal capabilities by region. The actual owned amount and actual used amount of infrastructure were analyzed for the past three years. Second, the regional offices were classified using K-means clustering into groups "close" to one another. Actual used snow-removal infrastructure was determined from the number of snow-removal working days. Finally, the correlation between the de-icing materials used and infrastructure was analyzed. Significant differences were found among the amounts of used infrastructure depending on snowfall intensity for each regional office during the past three years. RESULTS:The results showed that the amount of snow-removal infrastructure used for low heavy-snowfall intensity did not appear to depend on the amount of heavy snowfall, and therefore, high variation is observed in each area. CONCLUSIONS:This implies that the final analysis results will be useful when making decisions on snow-removal works.

At 5$^{\circ}C$ incubation of the brooded eggs of the snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio lasted for 297 days; freshly hatched prezoea molted to become the first zoea in one hour. Length (from the tip of the rostral spines to the tip of the dorsal spines) of the first and second zoeae measured 4.8 and 6.4mm, respectively. Experimental rearing of the larvae at 5, 10, 15 and 2$0^{\circ}C$ indicated that the upper limit of thermal tolerance is 15$^{\circ}C$, as all the reared larvae succumbed at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Intermolt period from the first the first zoea to the second was 57, 32 and 23 days at 5, 10 and 15$^{\circ}C$, respectively and that of the second zoea was 52, 29 and 90 days, respectively. Largest number of larvae survived at 1$0^{\circ}C$.

Spatial information of snow cover and depth distribution is a key component for snowmelt runoff modeling. Wide snow cover areas can be extracted from NOAA AVHRR or Terra MODIS satellite images. In this study eight sets of annual snow cover data (1997-2006) in two mountainous watersheds (A: Chungju-Dam and B: Soyanggang-Dam) were extracted using NOAA AVHRR images. The distribution of snow depth within the Snow Cover Area (SCA) was generated using snowfall data from ground meteorological observation stations. Snow depletion characteristics for the two watersheds were analyzed snow distribution time series data. The decreased pattern of SCA can be expressed as a logarithmic function; the determination coefficients were 0.62 and 0.68 for the A and B watersheds, respectively. The SCA decreased over 70% within 10 days from the time of maximum SCA.

PURPOSES : This study evaluates the reasonableness of the recommended amount of deicing chemicals based on historical data for snow removal. The result can be used to aid decision-making for the reservation of cost-effective de-icing chemicals. METHODS : First, the recommended amount of de-icing chemical to use and historical usage data were evaluated to identify specific usage characteristics for each region. Road maintenance length and snow-removal working days were analyzed over the past five winter seasons. Next, differences in the recommended amount of chemical to use and actual use were compared using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Last, the two types of data were analyzed using a chi-square test to verify if the two distributions of variation pattern are statistically significant. We found that there are significant differences between the data from each region during the past five winter seasons. RESULTS : The results showed that the equation for calculating the amount of de-icing chemical to use appears to be revised. CONCLUSIONS : The results imply that the equation for calculating the amount of de-icing chemical to apply as a national standard is very important when the public agency makes decisions related to snow-removal.

An aged (14 years old) female snow leopard exhibited renal calculi and pyelonephritis at necropsy. The animal experienced appetite loss, mild diarrhea, polydipsia, and difficulty breathing, and was curled up and staggering on its hind legs 2 days before death. Large calculi were found obstructing both sides of the renal pelvis. The left-side calculus was larger than that of the right side. These calculi had rough surfaces and were $15{\times}21mm$ and $9{\times}14mm$, respectively. The bladder was filled with dark, cloudy urine. Multiple ulcerous lesions were found in the inner layer of the bladder. Enterococcus faecalis and Proteus mirabili were identified via microbiological examination of the urine. Under microscopic examination, urine struvites were observed in the pyuria sediment in the bladder. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of nephrolithiasis in a captive snow leopard.
