Although many researches for heat island study have been developed, there is little attempt to link the findings to actual and hypothetical scenarios of urban developments which would help to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) in cities. The aim of this paper is to analyze the UHI at urban area with different geometries, land use, and environmental factors, and emphasis on the influence of different geometric and environmental parameters on ambient air temperature. In order to evaluate these effects, the parameters of (i) Air pollution (i.e. Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT)), (ii) Green space Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), (iii) Anthropogenic heat (AH) (iv) Building density (BD), (v) Building height (BH), and (vi) Air temperature (Ta) were mapped. The optimum operational scales between Heat Island Intensity (HII) and above parameters were evaluated by testing the strength of the correlations for every resolution. The best compromised scale for all parameters is 275m resolution. Thus, the measurements of these parameters contributing to heat island formation over the study areas of Hong Kong were established from mathematical relationships between them and in combination at 275m resolution. The mathematical models were then tabulated to show the impact of different percentages of parameters on HII. These tables are useful to predict the probable climatic implications of future planning decisions.

In order to examine the effects of micrometeorological and climatological influences on urban scale particulate air pollutants observed in Busan, power spectrum analysis was applied to the observed particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ${\le}10{\mu}m$ ($PM_{10}$) for the period from 1991 to 2006. Power spectrum analysis has been employed to the daily mean $PM_{10}$ concentrations obtained at 13 sites to identify different scales of periodicities of $PM_{10}$ concentrations. The results show that, aside from the typical and well-known periodicities such as diurnal and annual variations caused by anthropogenic emission influences, another two significant peaks of power spectrum density were identified: 21 day and $3{\sim}4$ year of periodicities. Cospectrum analysis indicates that the intraseasonal 21 day periodicity are found to be negatively correlated with wind speed and surface pressure but shows consistently positive with relative humidity and temperature. This result implied that 21 day periodicity is presumably relevant to the secondary aerosol formation processes through the photochemical reaction that can be subsequently resulted from hygroscopic characteristics of aerosol formation. However, the interannual $3{\sim}4$ year of periodicity is found to have positive correlation with pressure, and negative with temperature and relative humidity, which is rather consistent with both characteristics of air mass during the Asian dust event and the occurrence frequency of Asian dust whose periodicities have been recorded inter-annually over the Korean peninsula.

석탑 표면 흑화현상에 영향을 끼치는 탄소를 평가하기 위하여 석탑표면의 흑색층을 분석하였다. 원소분석기를 이용하여 총탄소량을 측정하였으며. 원소탄소와 유기탄소는 시료를 산처리하여 탄산염탄소를 제거한 후 OC/EC 탄소분석기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 이들 석탑 표면 흑색시료에서 검출된 원소탄소의 함량은 0.52%로 원소탄소 자체만으로 석탑 표면의 흑화현상을 설명하기에는 충분치 않은 양이나 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 보인다. 석탑 흑색표면 내 원소탄소의 기원을 살펴보기 위해 석탑주변의 대기미세먼지 (PM-10)를 포집하여 성분을 검토하였다. 대기미세먼지 중에서 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있는 것은 이온성분으로 38.4%였으며 토양지각성분이 16.6%. 탄소성분이 38.4%로 측정되었다. 대기의 높은 원소탄소함량(13 wt.%)은 석탑 흑색표면에서 검출된 원소 탄소의 기원으로 판단된다. 대기중의 토양성분 또한 석탑 흑색표면이 함유하고 있는 규산염광물의 기원으로 추정되며, 석탑표면에 축적되어 표면을 어둡게 하는 역할을 한다.

Aerosol slurry samples were collected in 60-min interval using Korean Semi-continuous Elements in Aerosol Sampler (KSEAS) between May 19 and June 6, 2010 at an urban site of Gwangju. The $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected with a flow rate of 16.7 L/min and particles are grown by condensation of water vapor in a condenser maintained at ${\sim}5^{\circ}C$ after saturation by direct injection of steam. The resulting droplets are collected in a liquid slurry with a airdroplet separator. Concentrations of 16 elements (Al, Fe, Mn, Ca, K, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ti, V, Ni, Co, As, Se) in the collected slurry samples were determined off-line by ICP-MS. KSEAS sample analysis encompassed the sampling periods for which 24-hr average elemental species concentrations were calculated for comparison with those derived from 24-hr integrated filter samples. Relationship between elemental species measured by two methods indicated high correlation coefficients (r), mostly greater than r of 0.80. However, we note that concentrations of Al, K, Ca, Mn, and Fe, which are often associated with crustal elemental particles, in the KSEAS samples, were substantially lower (1.4~11 times) than those found in the typical filter-based samples. This discrepancy is probably due to difficulties in transferring insoluble dust particles to the collection vials in the KSEAS. Temporal profiles of elemental concentrations indicate that some transient events in their concentrations are observed over the sampling periods. For the elemental species studied, atmospheric concentrations during the transient events increased by factors of 4 in Mn~80 in Zn, compared to their background levels. Principle component analyses were applied to the hourly KSEAS data sets to identify sources affecting the concentrations of the metal constituents observed. In this study, we conclude that hourly measurements for particle-bound elemental constituents were extremely useful for revealing the short-term variability in their concentrations and developing insights into their sources.

24-hr $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected from January 19 through February 27, 2009 at an urban site of Gwangju and analyzed to determine the concentrations of organic and elemental carbon(OC and EC), water-soluble OC(WSOC), eight ionic species($Na^+$, $NH^{4+}$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, ${NO_3}^-$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$), and 22 elemental species. Haze phenomena was observed during approximately 29%(10 times) of the whole sampling period(35 days), resulting in highly elevated concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ and its chemical components. An Asian dust event was also observed, during which $PM_{2.5}$ concentration was 64.5 ${\mu}g/m^2$. Crustal materials during Asian dust event contributed 26.6% to the $PM_{2.5}$, while lowest contribution(5.1%) was from the haze events. OC/EC and WSOC/OC ratios were found to be higher during haze days than during other sampling days, reflecting an enhanced secondary organic aerosol production under the haze conditions. For an Asian dust event, enhanced concentrations of OC and secondary inorganic components were also found, suggesting the further atmospheric processing of precursor gases during transport of air mass to the sampling site. Correlations among WSOC, EC, ${NO_3}^-$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$, and primary and secondary OC fractions, which were predicted from EC tracer method, suggests that the observed WSOC could be formed from similar formation processes as those of secondary organic aerosol, ${NO_3}^-$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$. Results from principal component analysis indicate also that the observed WSOC was strongly associated with formation routes of the secondary organic and inorganic aerosols.

Ultrafine Particle number and size distributions were simultaneously measured at rural area around the power plant in Dangjin, South Korea. New Particle formation and growth events were frequently observed during January, 2021 and classified based on their strength and persistence as well as the variation in geometric mean diameter(GMD) on January 12, 21 and 17. In this study, we investigated mechanisms of new particle growth based on measurements using a high resolution time of flight aerosol mass spectrometer(HR-ToF-AMS) and a scanning mobility particle sizer(SMPS). On Event days(Jan 12 and 21), the total average growth rate was found to be 8.46 nm/h~24.76 nm/hr. These growth rate are comparable to those reported for other urban and rural sites in South Korea using different method. Comparing to the Non-Event day(Jan 17), New Particle Growth mostly occurred when solar radiation is peaked and relative humidity is low in daytime, moreover enhanced under the condition of higher precusors, NO₂ (39.9 vs 6.2ppb), VOCs(129.5 vs 84.6ppb), NH₃(11 vs 4.7ppb). The HR-ToF-AMS PM_1.0 composition shows Organic and Ammoniated nitrate were dominant species effected by emission source in domestic. On the other hand, The Fraction of Ammoniated sulfate was calculated to be approximately 16% and 31% when air quality is inflow from China. Longer term studies are needed to help resolve the relative contributions of each precusor species on new particle growth characteristics.

대기 중 에어로졸은 인체에 악영향을 끼칠 뿐 아니라 기후 시스템에도 직간접적인 영향을 미치므로 에어로졸의 특성과 시공간적인 분포에 대한 이해는 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 위성기반 관측을 통해 에어로졸 광학 두께(Aerosol Optical Depth, AOD)를 산출하여 에어로졸을 모니터링하는 다양한 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 하지만 이는 주로 조견표를 활용한 역 산출 알고리즘에 기반하여 이루어지기 때문에 많은 계산량을 요구하며 불확실성이 존재한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-II (GOCI-II)의 대기상한반사도와 30일 동안의 대기상한반사도 중 최솟값과 관측 시점 값의 차이 값, 수치 모델 기반 기상학적 변수 등을 활용하여 기계학습 기반 고해상도 AOD 직접 산출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) 기법이 사용되었으며, 추정된 결과는 지상 관측 자료인 Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) AOD를 활용하여 랜덤, 시간 및 공간별 N-fold 교차검증을 통해 검증되었다. 세 가지 교차검증 결과 R²=0.70-0.80, RMSE=0.08-0.09, 기대오차(Expected Error, EE) 안에 있는 비율은 75.2-85.1% 수준으로 안정적인 성능을 보였다. Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) 분석에서는 반사도 관련 변수들이 기여도의 상위권 대부분을 차지하고 있는 것을 통해 반사도 자료가 AOD 추정에 많은 기여를 하는 것을 확인하였다. 서울과 울산 지역에 대한 시간 별 AOD의 공간 분포를 분석한 결과, 개발된 LGBM 모델은 시간의 흐름에 따라 AERONET AOD 값과 유사한 수준으로 AOD를 추정하고 있었다. 이를 통해 높은 시공간 해상도(i.e., 시간별, 250 m)에서의 AOD 산출이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한, 산출 커버리지 비교에서 LGBM 모델의 평균 산출 빈도가 GOCI-II L2 AOD 산출물 대비 8.8%가량 증가한 것을 통해 기존 물리모델기반 AOD 산출 과정에서 발생하던 밝은 지표면에 대한 과도한 마스킹의 문제점을 개선시킨 것을 확인하였다.

Daily PM_2.5 was collected during summer period in 2020 in Gwangju to investigate its chemical and light absorption properties. In addition, real-time light absorption coefficients were observed using a dual-spot 7-wavelength aethalometer. During the study period, SO₄^2- was the most important contributor to PM_2.5, accounting for on average 33% (10-64%) of PM_2.5. The chemical form of SO₄^2- was appeared to be combination of 70% (NH₄)₂SO₄ and 30% NH₄HSO₄. Concentration-weighted trajectory (CWT) analysis indicated that SO₄^2- particles were dominated by local pollution, rather than regional transport from China. A combination of aethalometer-based and water-extracted brown carbon (BrC) absorption indicated that light absorption of BrC due to aerosol particles was 1.6 times higher than that due to water-soluble BrC, but the opposite result was found in absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) values. Lower AAE value by aerosol BrC particles was due to the light absorption of aerosol BrC by both water-soluble and insoluble organic aerosols. The BrC light absorption was also influenced by both primary sources (e.g., traffic and biomass burning emissions) and secondary organic aerosol formation. Finally the ATR-FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of NH₄⁺, C-H groups, SO₄^2-, and HSO₄^2-. The presence of HSO₄^2- supports the result of the estimated composition ratio of inorganic sulfate ((NH₄)₂SO₄) and bisulfate (NH₄HSO₄).

도시지역의 시정변화는 일정한 경향성을 지니는 일부 오염물질들의 배출에 의해 지배적인 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되고 있다. Sulfate, nitrate는 대기중의 상대습도와 밀접한 관계를 지니고 있어서, 일일주기로 증감하는 수증기와의 반응에 의하여 입자의 크기가 성장ㆍ감소하여 대상물체의 이미지 형성광(image forming light)을 산란시킴으로써 관측자의 시야 경로부터 빛을 이탈시키는 현상을 나타낸다.(중략)

Results of corrosion testing for different grades of titanium, copper, zinc, alluminium alloys and steels after two years of outdoor exposure under humid tropical urban and marine conditions have been presented and discussed. Mass loss and corrosion product characteristics for the exposed specimens at Hanoi testing site with high humidity and Nhatrang marine stations (at 100 and 1,000 meters distances from sea) with different airborne salinities (35.9 and $90.0mg/m^2.d$ respectively) have been selected for investigation. From time dependence of the specimen mass loss and corrosion product characteristics, the strong influence of environmental parameters upon durability for the investigated metals and alloys has been demonstrated. Only titanium alloys show high resistance to the marine conditions. All the other specimens (copper, zinc, alluminium alloys and steels) have been underwent strong deterioration under influence of aerosol salinity. Results of corrosion products analysis have been also presented for characterization of environmental impact on the metal degradation processes.
