The vertical profiles of radiative flux and heating rate at King Sejong Station in West Antarctica were calculated with radiative transfe model by Chou and Suarez (1999) and Chou et al (2001). To run this model, the profiles of temperature, mixing ratios of water vapor and ozone at King Sejng Station were derived from ECMWF Reanalysis data. The surface temperature and albedo were also derived from NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis and CERES data. The radiative flux strongly depends on the cloud optical path length that was calculated using the measured W-h data and model by Chou and Lee(1996). Durins the period of $2000{\sim}2001$ (12 and 18 UTC), the correlation coefficient between calculated and measured downward solar fluxes at surface was 0.90 and the coefficient for downward longwave flux was 0.61. The calculated net heating rates of surface layer decreased during the same period, the trend of which was in accordance with the decrease of measured temperature.

도시지역 하층대기의 오존 연직분포는 지표부근의 NOx배출의 영향과 대기경계층의 일변화 및 구조적 특성에 의해 시·공간적으로 큰 변화를 나타낸다. 일반적으로 야간에는 역전층 내의 건성침적과 NOx 적정작용에 의해 오존농도가 감소하며, 하층 안정층과 분리되어 있는 잔류층(residual layer)의 오존농도와 큰 차이를 보이게 된다. 아울러 일출 후 안정층 파괴와 혼합고 성장에 의해 지표부근의 오존농도가 증가하고 연직적으로 비교적 일정한 오존분포가 나타난다(Zang et al., 1998; Berkowitz et al., 2000).

오존농도는 낮동안 일출이 시작되면서 광화학반응을 통하여 생성되고 일몰 후 점차 감소되어 야간에는 오존농도가 점차 파괴된다. 역전층 상부의 오존농도는 오존의 저수지 역할을 하여 연직적인 오존농도 분포에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 서울시 오존의 생성 및 소멸에 관련된 정확한 원인을 밝히는 데에는 혼합층고도 및 역전층의 발달과정에 따른 오존농도의 연직분포를 고찰하여 오존농도의 거동을 시ㆍ공간적으로 파악할 필요가 있다. 특히 서울시에서 방학동 주변지역의 오존 농도는 해마다 높게 측정되고 있는데, 이 지역에 대한 자세한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 오존농도 연직분포와 기상측정을 하였다.

Variation of tracer distribution during the vortex-breakup period in the Antarctic region was observed by the data from the Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS) and ILAS-II. All four trace species including methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and water vapor show similar patterns of vertical gradient in spite of different structures of zonal mean mixing ratio. Timings of vortex breakup on each level are estimated by two different methods, and they are compared with zonal standard deviations following the latitude circle of each trace species. Although the tracers have different chemical life times and sink/source, the zonal standard deviation patterns show remarkable similarities. The zonal standard deviation shown here to measure the zonal asymmetry of tracer distribution is believed to diagnose the timing of the Antarctic polar-vortex breakup reasonably well.

Radiometers in UV and visible wavelengths were onboard the Korean Sounding Rocket(KSR)-1 and 2 which were launched on June 4th and September 1st, 1993. These radiometers were designed to capture the solar radiation during the ascending period of the rocket flight. The purpose of the instrument was to measure the vertical profiles of stratospheric ozone densities. Since the instrument measured the solar radiation from the ground to its apogee, it is possible to investigate the altitude variation of the measured intensity and to estimate the effect of atmospheric scattering by comparing the UV and visible intensity. The visible channel was a reference because the 450-nm wavelength is in the atmospheric window region, where the solar radiation is transmitted through the atmosphere without being absorbed by other atmospheric gases. The use of 450-nm channel intensity as a reference should be limited to the altitude ranges above the certain altitudes, say 20 to 25km where the signals are not perturbed by atmospheric scattering effects.

Elastomeric bearing is used as one of the most useful way for isolation structures, because the horizontal stiffness is much lower than the vertical stiffness. The quality of Elastomeric bearing depends on the vulcanization procedure to manufacture, which produces the elasticity of the rubber from the compound of rubber and sulphur. The durability of Elastomeric bearing is affected by the deterioration due to ozone and ultra-violet attack. but the durability during the design life of bridges can be assured by the sufficient size of the bearing in spite of the deterioration in surface. In the design criteria of Elastomeric bearing, the stability of the bearings is evaluated by shear strain due to compression, lateral displacement, and rotation. The question how soft rubber can sustain heavy structure is now able to be solved by Ultimate capacity test of Laminated elastomeric Bearings, which results 1,200kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of the max. compressive stress and this shows what a sufficient safety factor Elastomeric bearing has!

The purpose of this study is to understand distributional characteristics in the atmospheric concentrations of $O_3$ and its precursors based on data taken at the southern Korean coast. The average $O_3$ concentration in the high altitude was found to range from 32.3 to 90.8 ppb with a maximum concentration of 132 ppb. The ambient $O_3$ concentration was high at altitudes of 1000 m and 500 m above the southern sea near Gwangyang Bay and an industrial area containing emission sources. The daily mean concentrations of $NO_y$ and CO were 6.7-24.2 ppb and 0.152-0.487 ppm, respectively. During the aerial measurement period, the highest mean concentration of $O_3$ was observed on June 1. The aerial measurement results showed that the maximum ozone concentration was observed to be 132 ppb in the high altitude the southernmost part of Yeosu. The measurement of vertical wind fields in the air indicated that $O_3$ formed in the southernmost part of Yeosu was transported by strong southwesterly winds to the northeast of Gwangyang Bay. This led to a ground $O_3$ concentration of over 100 ppb in Jinju, the northeastern part of Gwangyang Bay. On August 9, when the maximum $O_3$ concentration was 50 ppb, the measurement results showed that $O_3$ concentrations were relatively low compared to other days. In particular, low $NO_2$ and TVOC concentrations were observed, both of which serve to form $O_3$ in photochemical reactions.

The effects of Traffic Control Program (TCP) on the ambient urban air quality of SO$_{2}$, NO$_{2}$, O$_{3}$, and PM$_{10}$ were evaluated in Seoul metropolitan area by using the lower atmospheric vertical stability index and daily mean wind speeds. The vertical stability index; temperature lapse rate between 1000 hPa and 850 hPa geopotential height fields, were used to identify daily vertical stability index during the 2002 World Cup period where traffic amount was reportedly reduced to half the number of vehicles. The indicated air quality levels of TCP days were then compared with those of the cases observed with analogous vertical stability during the recent 3 years from 2000 to 2002. The result indicates that the effect of TCP on the primary air pollutants are found to be approximately 39$\%$, 23$\%$ and 20$\%$ lower for SO$_{2}$, NO$_{2}$ and PM$_{10}$, respectively. The secondary air pollutant; ozone, showed relatively smaller decreasing rate (13$\%$) of daily mean concentrations (even increased during the night time). The comparison of daily maximum or peak concentrations reveals that the pronounced decreasing effects of TCP on the ambient air quality for both primary and secondary air pollutants, suggesting that TCP is one of the effective strategies to control peak or higher concentrations for most urban scale air pollutants in and around the Seoul metropolitan area.

본 연구에서는 전구에 걸쳐 나타나는 대기의 일주기 및 반일주기 조석을 최신의 3시간 간격 재분석자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 선행연구들과는 달리 조석의 공간구조 및 계절성에 대한 분석이 표면으로부터 성층권에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 대부분의 층에서 일주기 조석은 중위도 지역에서 강한 반면, 반일주기 조석은 열대 지역에서 지배적으로 나타난다. 일주기 조석은 각 반구의 겨울철보다 여름철에 그 크기가 강하게 나타나는 강한 계절적 변동성을 보인다. 반면에 반일주기 조석은 계절적 변동성을 보이지 않는다. 반일주기 조석은 연직구조를 거의 가지지 않으나, 일주기 조석은 높이에 따라 그 크기가 증가하는 뚜렷한 연직구조를 가진다. 특히 열대지역 일주기 조석은 표면과 자유 대류권, 상층 성층권에서 거의 반대의 위상을 보인다. 그 크기 역시 고도에 따라 비선형적으로 변화하여 수증기, 오존, 중력파 그리고 태양복사에 영향을 받았을 가능성을 시사한다.

Total Vertical Column Density (VCD) of $NO_2$, a key component in air quality and tropospheric chemistry was measured using a ground-based instrument, Pandora, in Seoul from March 2012 to October 2013. The $NO_2$ measurements using Pandora were compared with those obtained by satellite remote sensing from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) where the intercomparison characteristics were analyzed as a function of measurement geometry, cloud amount and aerosol loading. The negative biases of the OMI $NO_2$ VCD were larger when cloud amount and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) were higher. The correlation coefficient between $NO_2$ VCDs from Pandora and OMI was 0.53 for the entire measurement period, whereas the correlation coefficient between the two was 0.74 when the cloud amount and AOD were low (cloud amount<3, AOD<0.4). The low bias of OMI data was associated with the shielding effect of the cloud and the aerosols.
