This study is to estimate COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) daily land surface temperature (LST) of Korea Peninsula from 15 minutes interval COMS LST (COMS LST-15) satellite data. Using daily observed LST data of Automated Agriculture Observing System (AAOS) 11 stations from January 2013 to May 2015, the COMS daily LST was compared and validated. For the representative time for daily mean LST value from COMS LST-15, the time of 23 : 45 and 0:00 showed minimum deviations with AAOS daily LST. The time zone from 23 : 45 to 1:15 and from 7 : 30 to 9 : 45 showed high determination coefficient (R2) of 0.88 and 0.90 respectively. The daily COMS LST by averaging COMS LST-15 of the day showed R2 of 0.83. From the 5 cases of results, the COMS daily LST could be extracted from the average LST by using 15 minutes data from 7 : 30 to 9 : 45.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a software tool, PGA-CC (Projection of hydrology via Grid-based Assessment for Climate Change) to evaluate the present hydrologic cycle and the future watershed hydrology by climate change. PGA-CC is composed of grid-based input data pre-processing module, hydrologic cycle calculation module, output analysis module, and output data post-processing module. The grid-based hydrological model was coded by Fortran and compiled using Compaq Fortran 6.6c, and the Graphic User Interface was developed by using Visual C#. Other most elements viz. Table and Graph, and GIS functions were implemented by MapWindow. The applicability of PGA-CC was tested by assessing the future hydrology of South Korea by HadCM3 SRES B1 and A2 climate change scenarios. For the whole country, the tool successfully assessed the future hydrological components including input data and evapotranspiration, soil moisture, surface runoff, lateral flow, base flow etc. From the spatial outputs, we could understand the hydrological changes both seasonally and regionally.

Drought is a slow-varying natural hazard that is characterized by various factors such that reliable drought forecasting along with uncertainties estimation has been a major issue. In this study, we proposed a stochastic simulation technique based scheme for providing a set of drought scenarios. More specifically, this study utilized a nonstationary Hidden markov model that allows us to include predictors such as climate state variables and global climate model's outputs. The simulated rainfall scenarios were then used to generate the well-known meteorological drought indices such as SPI, PDSI and PN for the three dam watersheds in South Korea. It was found that the proposed modeling scheme showed a capability of effectively reproducing key statistics of the observed rainfall. In addition, the simulated drought indices were generally well correlated with that of the observed.

In this study, we estimated the monthly FDSI (Flash Drought Stress Index) for assessing flash drought on South Korea using AMSR2(Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2) satellite-based soil moisture footprints. We collected the AMSR2 soil moisture and climate-land surface data from April to November 2018 for analyzing the monthly FDSI values. We confirmed that the FDSI values were high at the regions with the high temperature/evapotranspiration while the precipitation is relatively low. Especially, the regions which satisfied an onset of flash drought (FDSI≧0.71) were increased from June. Then, the most of regions suffered by flash drought during the periods (July to August) with the high temperature and evapotranspiration. Additionally, the impacts of landuse and slope degree were evaluated on the monthly FDSI changes. The forest regions that have the steep slope degree showed the relatively higher FDSI values than the others. Thus, our results indicated that the the slope degree has the relatively higher impact on the onset and increasing of flash drought compared to the others.

The present study aims to document the run-up height, losses of human lives and property damage due to the tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004 in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. These Islands were severely devastated by the tsunami. Approximately 1,925 people were lost their lives and 5,555 people were reported missing. A field survey conducted at 26 sites indicates that the run-up height reached its maxima of 17.3 m at the passenger jetty of Little Andaman area and the Chdiyatopu area was inundated 500 m from the coastline.

An analytical solution for long waves propagating over an asymmetric trench is derived. The water depth inside the trench varies in proportion to a power of distance from the center of the trench. The mild-slope equation, governing equation, is transformed into second order ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients by using the long wave assumption and then the analytical solution is obtained by using the power series technique. The analytical solution is confirmed by comparison with the numerical solution. After calculating the analytical solution under various conditions, the results are analyzed.

토지피복은 대부분의 수문 수질 모형의 중요한 매개변수로서, 수자원 변화 예측에 중요한 입력자료로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개선된 CA (Cellular Automata)-Markov 기법을 이용하여 충주댐유역의 미래 산림식생변화에 대한 예측을 시도하였다. 예측과정으로 과거의 Landsat TM 영상 (1985, 1990, 1995, 2000)을 이용하여 기법의 정확도 검증 및 산림분포의 변화경향을 파악하고, Landsat 산림은 2000년과 2005년의 NOAA AVHRR NDVI값을 기준으로 침엽수림, 혼효림, 활엽수림의 3종으로 구분한 후, 이를 이용하여 2030년, 2060년, 2090년의 식생변화를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법의 적용결과, 2000년과 비교하여 2090년의 활엽수림과 혼효림은 각각 14.3 %, 11.6 % 증가하였으며, 침엽수림은 24.9 % 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 과거의 경향성에 의해 예측을 시도한 본 연구결과는 미래 토지피복 변화에 따른 수문 수질 영향 분석시 지표 조건의 불확실성을 줄이는데 활용될 수 있다고 판단된다.

The nearshore currents are required for the preservation of coastal areas and the more pressing environmental problems since they cause sediments to be in suspension and transport the sediments into tranquil regions. Numerical models are often used to calculate current patterns formed around man-made or naturally caused changes around the coastal area. (omitted)
