This paper describes methodology verifying near-surface predictability of numerical weather prediction models against the surface synoptic weather station network (SYNOP) observation. As verification variables, temperature, wind, humidity-related variables, total cloud cover, and surface pressure are included in this tool. Quality controlled SYNOP observation through the pre-processing for data assimilation is used. To consider the difference of topographic height between observation and model grid points, vertical inter/extrapolation is applied for temperature, humidity, and surface pressure verification. This verification algorithm is applied for verifying medium-range forecasts by a global forecasting model developed by Korea Institute of Atmospheric Prediction Systems to measure the near-surface predictability of the model and to evaluate the capability of the developed verification tool. It is found that the verification of near-surface prediction against SYNOP observation shows consistency with verification of upper atmosphere against global radiosonde observation, suggesting reliability of those data and demonstrating importance of verification against in-situ measurement as well. Although verifying modeled total cloud cover with observation might have limitation due to the different definition between the model and observation, it is also capable to diagnose the relative bias of model predictability such as a regional reliability and diurnal evolution of the bias.

단일 기층의 모형 대기에 적용하기 위한 태양 복사 모델을 기준 모델(Line-by-Line Model: LBL)로 보정하여 2009년 1월부터 2009년 12월까지 한반도의 지표면 태양광 시공간 분포를 계산 및 분석하였다. 이 연구에 사용된 태양 복사 모델의 입력 자료는 기상청(KMA)의 수치모델 자료 그리고 위성자료로부터 도출된 오존 전량과 에어로졸 및 구름 자료 등이 사용되었다. 이 연구 기간 동안 4 km 간격으로 수평면에 대하여 한반도의 지표면 태양광을 계산하였고 그 결과를 지표면 일사 관측값들과 비교하였다. 그 결과 모델에 의하여 계산된 연 누적 태양광은 안동과 대구 및 진주를 연결하는 지역에서 최대값($5,400MJ/m^2$ 이상)이 나타났고 이 값들은 위성 관측 전운량 자료와 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 지표면 일사 관측 자료의 공간 분포는 모델 계산 결과와 차이가 있었으며 그 원인은 관측소 일사계의 보정 및 관리운영에 따른 자료 정확성 때문인 것으로 분석된다.

국립기상과학원은 2010년 6월부터, 하향적외스펙트럼을 관측하는 고분해적외분광간섭계(FT-IR)인 Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer(AERI)를 안면도 기후변화감시센터에 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 고분해 적외 센서를 이용한 AERI는 위성 기반의 원격탐사 자료를 검증하는데 유효하다. 본 연구에서는 계절별 AERI 기준 스펙트럼을 선정 및 적용(Seasonal-Cloud data Filtering Method, S-CFM)하여 구름에 영향을 받은 관측 스펙트럼 자료 제거방법을 개선하였다. S-CFM을 적용하여 산출된 최하층 메탄농도는 한 개의 기준 스펙트럼을 사용(Cloud data Filtering Method, CFM)하여 산출된 최하층 메탄농도 및 지상관측 메탄농도와 비교하였으며, AERI 연직 메탄 총량을 산출하여 GOSAT 메탄 연직 총량을 통해 검증 및 분석하였다. S-CFM 방법을 적용하여 산출된 최하층 메탄농도는 CFM의 최하층 메탄농도보다 더 정확도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 지상관측 메탄농도의 연간 변화 패턴과 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 또한 GOSAT과 AERI의 연직 메탄 총량 비교에서도 비슷한 농도 분포를 보였으며, 매년 증가하는 패턴을 보였다. 뿐만 아니라 S-CFM을 적용함으로써 비교 가능한 자료의 개수가 증가하였다. 다만 여름철 AERI 스펙트럼을 통해 산출된 최하층 메탄농도 및 연직 총량 농도가 상당히 과대추정 되는 모습을 보이고 있기 때문에 기술적 보완이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

대규모의 화산이 분출하면 화산재는 수 킬로미터 이상 퍼져 나갈 수 있고 도시 지역과 교통수단에 피해를 줄 수 있다. 이러한 화산 재해에 대응하기 위해서는 화산재의 확산 면적을 효율적으로 추정할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서는 2016년 10월 7일 16시 40분(UTC) 일본의 아소산 분화의 관측 자료와 위성 영상의 분석 결과를 비교하였다. 정지궤도 천리안 위성 GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) 센서의 근적외선(Near-Infrared) 채널로 주성분 분석과 임계값 설정 방법 및 일련의 형태학적 필터링(Eroded, Opening, Dilation, Closing)을 각각 적용하였다. 또한, 2016년 아소산 분화에 관한 일본 기상청(JMA)의 보고서에 명시된 현장 관측 자료를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 약 $380km^2$의 화산재 퇴적 지역을 위성영상으로 탐지하였다. 전통적인 방법에서의 화산재 퇴적 지역 탐지는 직접 측정 및 소문 증거와 같은 인간 활동에 의해 추정되었지만 이는 비효율적이며 시간소모적이다. 하지만 이 연구를 통해 분연주 높이가 높거나 분화지수가 큰 화산 분화의 피해 지역을 신속하게 추출할 수 있으며 지표 변화 분포도를 작성하여 화산 활동으로 인한 피해 정책 수립 등 다양한 방면으로 활용 가능하다.

The meteorological model, CALMET, and its plume dispersion model, CALPUFF, were used in order to simulate the dispersion of $SO_2$ emitted from Yatagan Power Plant and its effect on Yatagan district in the episodic event on December 2 and 3, 2000. It is found that south westerly and light winds and the nighttime surface inversion layers lead to accumulation of pollutants over Yatagan district. The results are compared with the measurements done by Local Environmental Authorities of Mu la. The simulation results indicate that the maximum ground level concentrations were found northeast from the source, which agrees with experimental measurement. On the other hand, the magnitude of results obtained with the model shows some differences compared with experimental measurements.

Surplus water inside a concrete other than moisture that is used for hydration of the cement affects the physical properties of the concrete (modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, drying shrinkage, and creep) by drying. Changes in temperature and humidity inside a concrete has correlation with the movement speed and reaction rate of deterioration factors such as carbon dioxide and chloride ions. In this study, comparison was performed between temperature and relative humidity inside the concrete and meteorological data for exposure environment through measurement at the site for two years. Surface temperature of the concrete (depth 1cm) was measured higher by 6℃ during the summers, while it was measured lower by 2℃ during the winters due to solar radiation, wind, and radiation cooling. As for relative humidity, change was large in the depth of 1cm, while more than 85% was maintained in the depth of 10cm.

전 세계적으로 환경, 해양, 기상, 기후, 해상 및 재난예방을 지원하기 위한 해수면 조사를 위하여 해양레이더를 운용하고 있으며, 국내에서도 해양유출유와 방조제 유출수 조사 및 해상안전사고 예방을 위하여 13, 25, 42 MHz 대역의 레이더를 6개 지역에서 운용하고 있다. 그러나 측정단파대역을 이용하는 해양레이더는 실험국으로 허가받아 관리되어지고 있으며, 오늘날 주파수 분배가 논의 되고 있다. 해양레이더 주파수 분배를 위한 조사에 의하면 3~50 MHz의 국내 전파환경은 20 MHz 이상의 대역에서 레이더운용에 문제가 없으나 13 MHz를 제외한 20 MHz 이하대역은 사용검토가 필요하다. 국내 사용자는 해양레이더의 운용과 자료처리 기법에 국내의 주파수 환경을 충분히 고려해야 한다.

An accurate determination of turbulent fluxes over an urban area is a challenging task due to its morphological diversity and associated flow complexity. In this study, an eddy covariance (EC) method is applied over a highly heterogeneous urban area in a small city (Gongju), South Korea to investigate the quantitative influence of 'coordinate tilt' in determining the turbulent fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, momentum, and carbon dioxide mass. Two widely-used coordinate transform methods are adopted and applied to eight directional sections centered on the site to analyze a 1-year period EC measurement obtained from the urban site: double rotation (DR) and planar fit (PF) transform. The results show that mean streamline planes determined by the PF method are distinguished from the sections, representing morphological heterogeneity of the site. The sectional pitch angles determined by the DR method also compare well with those in the PF method. Both the PF and DR methods show large variabilities in the determined streamline planes at each directional section, implying that flow patterns may form in a complicate way due to the surface heterogeneity. Resulting relative differences of the turbulent fluxes, defined by $(F_{DR}-F_{PF})/F_{DR}$, are found on average +13% in sensible heat flux, +21% in latent heat flux, +37% in momentum flux, and +26% in carbon dioxide mass flux, which are larger values than those reported previously for fairly homogeneous natural sites. The fractional differences depend significantly on wind direction, showing larger differences in northerly winds at the measurement site. It is also found that the relative fractional differences are negatively correlated with the mean wind speed at both stable/unstable atmospheric conditions. These results imply that EC turbulent fluxes determined over heterogeneous urban areas should be carefully interpreted with considering the uncertainty due to 'coordinate tilt' effect in their applications.

In order to verify the enhancement of ozone and carbon monoxide (CO) during springtime in East Asia, we investigated weather conditions and data from remote sensors, air quality models, and air quality monitors. These include the geopotential height archived from the final (FNL) meteorological field, the potential vorticity and the wind velocity simulated by the Meteorological Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5), the back trajectory estimated by the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model, the total column amount of ozone and the aerosol index retrieved from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), the total column density of CO retrieved from the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT), and the concentration of ozone and CO simulated by the Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers (MOZART). In particular, the total column density of CO, which mightoriginate from the combustion of fossil fuels and the burning of biomass in China, increased in East Asia during spring 2000. In addition, the enhancement of total column amounts of ozone and CO appeared to be associated with both the upper cut-off low near 500 hPa and the frontogenesis of a surface cyclone during a weak Asian dust event. At the same time, high concentrations of ozone and CO on the Earth's surface were shown at the Seoul air quality monitoring site, located at the surface frontogenesis in Korea. It was clear that the ozone was invaded by the downward stretched vortex anomalies, which included the ozone-rich airflow, during movement and development of the cut-off low, and then there was the catalytic photochemical reaction of ozone precursors on the Earth's surface during the day. In addition, air pollutants such as CO and aerosol were tracked along both the cyclone vortex and the strong westerly as shown at the back trajectory in Seoul and Busan, respectively. Consequently, the maxima of ozone and CO between the two areas showed up differently because of the time lag between those gases, including their catalytic photochemical reactions together with the invasion from the upper troposphere, as well as the path of their transport from China during the weak Asian dust event.

This study aims to produce fundamental database for Environment Impact Assessment by monitoring vertical structure of the atmosphere due to the mountain valley wind in spring season. For this, we observed surface and upper meteorological elements in Sangin-dong, Daegu using the rawinsonde and automatic weather system(AWS). In Sangin-dong, the weather condition was largely affected by mountains when compared to city center. The air temperature was low during the night time and day break, and similar to that of city center during the day time. Relative humidity also showed similar trend; high during the night time and day break and similar to that of city center during the day time. Solar radiation was higher than the city, and the daily maximum temperature was observed later than the city. The synoptic wind during the measurement period was west wind. But during the day time, the west wind was joined by the prevailing wind to become stronger than the night time. During the night time and daybreak, the impact of mountain wind lowered the overall temperature, showing strong geographical influence. The vertical structure of the atmosphere in Dalbi valley, Sangin-dong had a sharp change in air temperature, relative humidity, potential temperature and equivalent potential temperature when measured at the upper part of the mixing layer height. The mixing depth was formed at maximum 1896m above the ground, and in the night time, the inversion layer was formed by radiational cooling and cold mountain wind.
