It is necessary to estimate the regression coefficients in order to predict the daily global radiation on a horizontal surface. Therefore many different equations have proposed to evaluate them for certain areas. In this work a new correlation has been made to predict the solar radiation for 16 different areas over Korea by estimating the regression coefficients taking into account cloud hours of bright sunshine. Particularly, the multiple linear regression model proposed shows reliable results for estimating the global radiation on a horizontal surface with monthly average deviation of-0.26 to +0.53% and each station annual average deviation of -1.61 to +1.7% from measured values.

In order to determine the violation of right of light impact at adjacent residential area by high-rise building, analysis on the right of light for high-rise residential commercial complex building block at Gahngnam-ku, Seoul, Korea was carried out using Google Sketchup Pro. After the analysis th sunshine duration of B apartment decreased from 5 hours 16 minutes 3 hours 48 minutes by I hour 42 minutes after construction. It shows that the total sunshine duration is less than the Seoul City Government Standard which is more than 4 hours a day, or more than 2 consecutive hours. Lowering the heights of apartments by 54m would increase the total sunshine duration which would meet the Seoul City Government Standard by four hours seven minutes. Problems that rna lead to the violation on the right of light in the adjacent area should be discussed in advance and minimized by analyzing the right of light among buildings and structures which are scheduled to be constructed on the site during construction penni! process when high-rise building is proposed.

It is studied on the relationship between the occurrence of red tide and the meteorological factors(precipitation, air temperature, sunshine and winds) in the middle coastal area in the South Sea of Korea. In summer and early-fall which frequently occurred the red tide, the precipitation had directly influence on the occurrence of red tide because it carried the nutritive substances which originated from the land into the coastal areas. Then air temperature kept up generally high values, and sunshine and winds showed not directly the relationship on the occurrence of red tide.

Shortwave radiation and sunshine hours (SHOUR) are important variables having many applications, including crop growth. However, observational data for these variables have low horizontal resolution, rendering its application to related research and decision making on f arming practices challenging. In the present study, hourly solar radiation data were physically generated using the Land-Atmosphere Modeling Package (LAMP) at the National Center f or Agro-Meteorology, and then daily SHOUR fields were calculated through statistical downscaling. After data quality evaluation, including case studies, the SHOUR data were added to the existing publically accessible LAMP daily database. The LAMP daily dataset, newly updated with SHOUR, has been provided operationally as input data to the "Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Drought Prediction System," which predicts agricultural weather disasters and field crop growth status.

The frequency of extreme weather events was analyzed using meteorological data (air temperature, precipitation, and duration of sunshine) collected from 61 stations over a 36-year span (1981-2016). The 10-day meteorological data were used as a basic unit for this analysis. On average, the frequency of occurrence of abnormal weather was 9.88 per year and has increased significantly during this 36-year period. According to the type of abnormal weather, the frequencies of occurrence of abnormally high air temperature and short duration of sunshine have increased by 0.50 and 0.41 per 10 years, respectively; however, that for abnormally low air temperature has decreased by 0.31 per 10 years and the trend was statistically significant. The highest frequency of abnormal weather appeared in 2007, with a frequency of 14.31. Abnormal weather was the most frequent at Yeongdeok station with an average frequency of 11.78 per year over this 36-year span.

This study investigated the effect of parked cars in the sunshine on the increase of air temperature on a sunny day. Air temperatures were determined both from inside of the parked cars and the top surface of the vehicle at which one car was parked under the sunshine and the other in the shade for the duration of 27 hours. The surface temperatures of asphalt and bare soil were simultaneously measured in both locations, sunshine and shade areas, along with a couple of meteorological factors. The sensible heat fluxes from the surfaces of asphalt, bare soil and two vehicles were estimated by utilizing those observed data. The results are as follows; 1) The surface temperatures of bare soil, asphalt and two vehicles increased with $30{\sim}37^{\circ}C,\;37{\sim}46^{\circ}C\;and\;42{\sim}49^{\circ}C$ respectively during the day. 2) The sensible heat fluxes were noticeably higher from the top surface of the parked vehicle in the sunshine than from the asphalt or bare soil. The differences of sensible heat fluxes between the vehicle's roof and the other two surfaces of asphalt and bare soil were 60 (asphalt) and 85 (bare soil) $W/m^2$ during the daytime.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of climatic factors on fruit growth in 'Niitaka' pear (Pyrus pyrifolia). For ten years from 2000 to 2010, average full bloom date was April 19th and standard deviation was 4.2 days. Average fruit diameter 160 days after full bloom (DAFB) was 102.4 mm and standard deviation was 7.5 mm. Variance coefficients among climatic factors were higher in rainfall amount and sunshine hours than temperature. Only sunshine hours of climatic factors accumulated during the 160 DAFB had significant positive relationship ($r=0.68^*$) with fruit diameter 160 DAFB. Between full bloom date and fruit diameter 160 DAFB had no significant relationship. Fruit growth in 2004, as continuous rain fall and short sunshine hours, showed opposite pattern compared to that in 2009. Therefore, fruit growth of 'Niitaka' pear was more influenced by the accumulated sunshine hours than accumulated temperature.

As the importance of documented fact has weakened in historical dramas, the combination with other genres has become prominent. By reviewing the way romance is dealt with in historical dramas, this research examines how the properties of historical events adopted by historical dramas are related to the motif of love, and how the narrative of love and romance contributes to the historical effects, with a focus on the television drama Mr. Sunshine. Mr. Sunshine is the first historical drama written by Kim Eun-sook, combining deliberately rearranged history with the writer's unique grammar of romance. The failed resistance movement of the righteous army in the drama is matched with the love that cannot be achieved based on self-negation. The drama, which deals with the tyranny of Japanese imperialism and the independence of Joseon, fictionalizes key characters and events, transforming the desire of love into the passion of patriotism. Romance in Mr. Sunshine serves as a catalyst for emphasizing the tragedy of historical events and reconstitutes cultural memories. In historical dramas, the fictional plot of romance leads viewers to reflect on human life in history that flows from the past to the future. How does an individual's inner feelings contribute to the historical representation? This research is significant as it is the first attempt to examine the relationship between historical drama and romance in various ways.

This study investigated the antioxidant and yield properties of eight adzuki bean (Vigna angularis L.) cultivars grown under different mean temperatures and sunshine hours in 2020 and 2021. Compared to 2021, which had a normal mean temperature, 2020 showed a lower mean temperature during the pod-extension and grain-filling periods. In addition, due to frequent rainfall during the vegetative period in 2020, there were fewer hours of sunshine in 2020 than in 2021. The adzuki bean yield was approximately 13% lower in 2020 than in 2021 due to the decreased number of pods per plant and 100-seeds weight. 'Hongda' and 'Hongjin' cultivars showed more stable yields than the 'Arari' variety, which is the most commonly cultivated variety in Korea. Moreover, the 'Hongda' and 'Hongjin' cultivars had higher yields than the 'Arari' variety in both years. Compared to 2021, in 2020, when the weather conditions were unfavorable, both antioxidant levels and activity were higher. 'Hongda' had higher antioxidant levels and activity than the other cultivars over the 2 years. These results suggest that the antioxidant levels and activity were good in 2020, with an approximately 13% decrease in yield compared to 2021, which was a normal year with respect to mean temperature and sunshine hours.

Relationship between grain quality-related traits and daily mean temperature/sunshine hours during grain filling stage was analyzed using eleven high quality rice varieties at 24 experimental sites through eight provinces of Korea in 2013~2014. In the data set pooled across varieties, experimental sites and years, grain quality-related traits such as percentage of head rice (PHR), head rice yield (HRY), protein in milled rice (PRO) and Toyo Mido Meter glossiness value (TGV) were higher at the temperature lower than $22.6^{\circ}C$ for 40 days after flowering (DAF), which was optimum for percentage of grain filling in this study. Optimum sunshine hours for 40 DAF were $6.0{\sim}6.1\;hr\;d^{-1}$when considered PHR, HRY and TGV. PRO was associated with daily mean temperature and sunshine hours for 40 DAF in more varieties than the other traits. PRO was closely correlated with daily mean temperature during early filling stage and sunshine hours during early to mid filling stage, compared to other stages during grain filling. It is concluded that general trend in the variation of grain quality-related traits could be explained by the changes in daily mean temperature and sunshine hours during grain filling. In addition, climate conditions during early grain filling stage played important roles to enhance grain quality.
