  • 기상청 국가기상위성센터에서는 우주기상 업무의 일환으로 국내 GNSS 관측자료를 이용한 기상 및 우주기상 활용체계를 구축하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내 GNSS 관측망 자료를 이용한 준실시간 전리권 총전자밀도(TEC) 산출 시스템을 소개하고 산출된 결과를 제시하고자 한다. 국가기상위성센터의 준실시간 전리권 총전자밀도 산출 시스템에서는 국가지리정보원, 한국천문연구원, 위성항법 중앙사무소 및 기상청, 총 80여개의 GNSS 관측자료를 수집하고, 수집된 자료에 대하여 24시간 시간 창 기법(Time Windowing Method)을 적용하여 각 지점별 전리권 TEC 자료를 매시간 산출하고, 산출된 각 지점별 IPP(Ionospheric Pierce Point)에서의 TEC 값을 반스 내삽(Barnes Interpolation)을 사용하여 한반도 상공의 전리권 총전자밀도 격자자료를 생성하였다. 생성된 TEC 격자값을 IGS(International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 전지구 전리권 총전자밀도 지도와 비교한 결과 한반도 상공의 전리권 상태를 더 잘 기술할 수 있음을 보였다.

  • 한국천문연구원의 지상기반 GPS 수신기에서 산출된 가강수량을 수치예보모델 모사 결과로부터 획득된 가강수량과 비교하였다. 수치예보모델인 WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting)의 둥지격자에 대한 단시간 예보장이 비교자료로 사용되었다. 수치설험은 구름 미세물리 방안을 선택하면서 수행되었으며 비교기간은 2008년의 장마기간중 1개월이었다. GPS 관측 자료는 남한에 분포되어 있는 9개 관측소에서 2008년 6월부터 7월 사이의 1개월간 자료가 사용되었다. 대체적으로, WRF 모델은 GPS 관측 자료에 의해 산출된 가강수량의 시 공간적 변화와 상당히 잘 일치하였다. 상관계수는 모델 예보 시간이 증가함에 따라 감소되었으며 모델 해상도에 따른 가강수량 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 또한 라디오존데에서 산출된 가강수량을 이용하여 수치모델 가강 수량과 GPS 가강수량과의 비교분석을 수행하였다. 이러한 결과들은 시 공간적으로 고해상도인 GPS 관측 자료로부터 산출된 가강수량이 기상학적 적용에 유용함을 보여주고 있다.

  • The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has been collaborating with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), to install a diagnostic coronagraph on the International Space Station (ISS). The coronagraph is designed to obtain simultaneous measurements of electron density, temperature, and velocity using multiple filters in the 3-10 Rs range. In 2019, we developed a new coronagraph and launched it on a stratospheric balloon (BITSE) from Fort Sumner, New Mexico in USA. As the next step, the coronagraph will be further developed, installed and operated on the ISS (CODEX) in 2023 to understand the physical conditions in the solar wind acceleration region, and enable and validate the next generation space weather models. In this presentation, we will report recent progress and introduce future plan.

  • Variabilities in the solar wind cause disturbances throughout the heliosphere on all temporal and spatial scales, which leads to changeable space weather. As a view of space weather forecasting, in particular, it is important to know direct and indirect causes modulating the space environment near the Earth in advance. Recently, there are discussions on a role of the interaction of the solar wind with Mercury in affecting the solar wind velocity in the Earth's neighborhood during its inferior conjunctions. In this study we investigate a question of whether other parameters describing the space environment near the Earth are modulated by the inner planets' wake, by examining whether the interplanetary magnetic field and the proton density in the solar wind observed by the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft, and the geomagnetic field via the Dst index and Auroral Electrojet index (AE index) are dependent upon the relative position of the inner planets. We find there are indeed apparent variations. For example, the mean variations of the geomagnetic fields measured in the Earth's neighborhood apparently have varied with a timescale of about 10 to 25 days. Those variations in the parameters we have studied, however, turn out to be a part of random fluctuations and have nothing to do with the relative position of inner planets. Moreover, it is found that variations of the proton density in the solar wind, the Dst index, and the AE index are distributed with the Gaussian distribution. Finally, we point out that some of properties in the behavior of the random fluctuation are to be studied.

  • The space radiation dose over air routes including polar routes should be carefully considered, especially when space weather shows sudden disturbances such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), flares, and accompanying solar energetic particle events. We recently established a heliocentric potential (HCP) prediction model for real-time operation of the CARI-6 and CARI-6M programs. Specifically, the HCP value is used as a critical input value in the CARI-6/6M programs, which estimate the aviation route dose based on the effective dose rate. The CARI-6/6M approach is the most widely used technique, and the programs can be obtained from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). However, HCP values are given at a one month delay on the FAA official webpage, which makes it difficult to obtain real-time information on the aviation route dose. In order to overcome this critical limitation regarding the time delay for space weather customers, we developed a HCP prediction model based on sunspot number variations (Hwang et al. 2015). In this paper, we focus on improvements to our HCP prediction model and update it with neutron monitoring data. We found that the most accurate method to derive the HCP value involves (1) real-time daily sunspot assessments, (2) predictions of the daily HCP by our prediction algorithm, and (3) calculations of the resultant daily effective dose rate. Additionally, we also derived the HCP prediction algorithm in this paper by using ground neutron counts. With the compensation stemming from the use of ground neutron count data, the newly developed HCP prediction model was improved.

  • All the outdoor and indoor spaces are connected with each other. The human being moves toward those spaces with temperature fluctuation between the natural and artificial temperature. We conducted an experiment which subjects were wearing the data logger in urban life, and measured 24 hours' exposed temperature and thermal comfort in summer. Results were as follows. 1. Subjects controls their micro climate like this. Most of them(84.6%) get weather information. Fashion(46.2%) and weather(30.8%) are the reasons to select clothes. They spend their time in indoor environment for 84.92% hours of a day and have an air-conditioner(61.5%) in their houses. 2. Temperature fluctuation which subjects were exposed for 24 hours were from 15.6$^{\circ}C$ to 33.8$^{\circ}C$ and average fluctuation was 9.02$^{\circ}C$. The median value of experienced temperature were 26-26.5$^{\circ}C$ and average temperature was 26.18$^{\circ}C$. They experienced cold shock of 3.96 times in a day.

  • NxST는 현재 천문연에서 개발중인 30cm 구경의 태양 망원경으로 태양 채층의 모습을 약 1각초의 적정한 영상 해상도로 고분광분해능의 채층선 스펙트럼 자료를 고속으로 얻어낼 수 있다. NxST는 미국과 유럽, 그리고 국내 1대를 건설하여 전지구적으로 연속적인 데이터를 획득할 수 있다. NxST의 관측자료는 1) 우주환경예보의 최초이며 유일인자인 태양을 실시간으로 감시할 수 있고 2) 태양 채층의 파동과 관련된 연구를 수행하는데 활용될 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 NxST의 연구주제들을 살펴보고 이로부터 도출된 시스템의 개념 설계를 제시한다.
