본 논문에서는 물리적 기반의 지역 대기 모형(Regional Climate Model)을 이용하여 최대강수량(Maximum Precipitation, MP)을 산정하는 방안에 대한 국내 적용가능성을 알아보고자 한다. 물리적 기반의 지역 대기 모형을 이용한 최대강수량을 산정하는 방안은 Ohara et al.(2011)에 의해 제안된 방법으로 기존의 통계학적/수문기상학적 방법의 논리적 약점인 기후의 정상성 가정을 극복하고 비정상성을 그대로 반영할 수 있기 때문에 추후 가능최대강수량(Probable Maximum Precipitation, PMP) 산정 연구에도 좋은 대안이 될 것으로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 차세대 대기모델인 WRF를 이용하여 이러한 방법론을 국내에 적용하고 그 가능성을 평가해보았다.

In this study, the effects of air-sea interactions on precipitation over the Seoul-Gyeonggi region of the Korean Peninsula from 28 to 30 August 2018, were analyzed using a Regional atmosphere-ocean Coupled Model (RCM). In the RCM, a WRF (Weather Research Forecasts) was used as the atmosphere model whereas ROMS (Regional Oceanic Modeling System) was used as the ocean model. In a Regional Single atmosphere Model (RSM), only the WRF model was used. In addition, the sea surface temperature data of ECMWF Reanalysis Interim was used as low boundary data. Compared with the observational data, the RCM considering the effect of air-sea interaction represented that the spatial correlations were 0.6 and 0.84, respectively, for the precipitation and the Yellow Sea surface temperature in the Seoul-Gyeonggi area, which was higher than the RSM. whereas the mean bias error (MBE) was -2.32 and -0.62, respectively, which was lower than the RSM. The air-sea interaction effect, analyzed by equivalent potential temperature, SST, dynamic convergence fields, induced the change of SST in the Yellow Sea. In addition, the changed SST caused the difference in thermal instability and kinematic convergence in the lower atmosphere. The thermal instability and convergence over the Seoul-Gyeonggi region induced upward motion, and consequently, the precipitation in the RCM was similar to the spatial distribution of the observed data compared to the precipitation in the RSM. Although various case studies and climatic analyses are needed to clearly understand the effects of complex air-sea interaction, this study results provide evidence for the importance of the air-sea interaction in predicting precipitation in the Seoul-Gyeonggi region.

This study analyzed the effect of warming on PM_2.5 aerosol production in mid-latitude East Asia during June 2020 using PM_2.5 aerosol anomalies, which were identified by incorporating meteorological and climate data into the Weather Research Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model. The decadal temperature change trend over a 30-year period (1991-2020) in East Asia showed that recent warming has been greater in summer than in winter. Summer warming in East Asia generated low and high pressure in the lower and upper troposphere, respectively, over China. The boundary between the lower tropospheric low and upper tropospheric high pressure sloped along the terrain from the Tibetan Plateau to Korea. The eastern China, Yellow Sea, and Korean regions experienced a convergence of warm and humid southwesterly airflows originating from the East China Sea with the development of a northwesterly Pacific high pressure. In June 2020, the highest temperatures were observed since 1973 in Korea. Meanwhile, enhanced warming in East Asia increased the production of PM_2.5 aerosols that travelled long distances from eastern China to Korea. PM_2.5 anomalies, which were derived solely by inputting meteorological and climatic data (1991-2020) into the WRF-Chem model and excluding emission variations, showed a positive distribution extending from eastern China to South Korea across the Yellow Sea as well as over the Pacific Northwest. Thus, the contribution of warming to PM_2.5 aerosols in East Asia during June 2020 was more than 50%. In particular, PM_2.5 aerosols were transported from eastern China to Korea through the Yellow Sea, where the warm and humid southwesterly airflows implied wet scavenging of sulfate but promoted nitrate production.

In this study, the high-resolution numerical simulation results considering landuse characteristics are analyzed by using single layer Urban Canopy Model (UCM) in Weather Research Forecast (WRF). For this, the impact of urban parameters such as roughness length and anthropogenic heat in UCM is analyzed. These values are adjusted to Seoul metropolitan area in Korea. The results of assessment are verified against observation from surface and flux tower. Forecast system equipped with UCM shows an overall improvement in the simulations of meteorological parameters, especially temperature at 2 m, surface sensible and latent heat flux. Major contribution of UCM is appreciably found in urban area rather than non-urban. The non-urban area is indirectly affected. In simulated latent heat flux, applying UCM is possible to simulate the change similarly with observations on urban area. Anthropogenic heat employed in UCM shows the most realistic results in terms of temperature and surface heat flux, indicating thermodynamic treatment of UCM could enhance the skills of high resolution forecast model in urban and non-urban area.

Despite the decreasing trend of anthropogenic emissions in East Asia in recent years, haze days still frequently occur in spring. Atmospheric blocking, which occurs frequently in the northeastern Pacific, leads to persistent changes in large-scale circulation and blocks westerly flow in the East Asian region. During March 2019, frequent warm and stagnant synoptic meteorological conditions over East Asia were accompanied 6-7 days later by the Alaskan atmospheric blocking. The Alaskan atmospheric blocking over the period of March 18-24, 2019 led to high particulate matter (PM₁₀) severe haze days exceeding a daily average of 50 ㎍ m^-3 over the period of March 25-28, 2019 in South Korea. Although the high-PM₁₀ severe haze days were caused by warm and stagnant meteorological conditions, the regional contribution of anthropogenic emissions in eastern China was calculated to be 30-40% using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem). The major regional contributions of PM₁₀ aerosols in the period of high-PM₁₀ severe haze days were as follows: nitrates, 20-25%; sulphates, 10-15%; ammonium, 5-10%; and other inorganics, 15-20%. Ammonium nitrate generated via gas-to-aerosol conversion in a warm and stagnant atmosphere largely contributed to the regional transport of PM₁₀ aerosols in the high-PM₁₀ severe haze days in South Korea.

대기-해양-천문 수치 모델은 주로 3차원 모델이고, 3차원적 해석을 위해서는 사용자가 쉽게 접근하고 사용할 수 있는 3차원 과학적 가시화 도구가 필요하다. 이러한 요구에 대응하기 위하여 무료/오픈소스 기반의 3차원 과학적 가시화 도구인 VAPOR가 사용자 친화적인 방향으로 개발되고 있다. VAPOR는 대기모델 WRF, CAM, GRIMs, 해양모델 MOM4, POP, ROMS의 직접 가시화가 가능하며, VAPOR 자료 형식 변환 과정을 통하여 천문 분야 모델(RAMSES) 가시화도 가능하다. 매년 개발을 통하여, VAPOR는 사용자가 많이 사용하는 일반적인 2, 3차원 표출 기능과 단순 통계 기능을 제공하게 되었으며, 향후 다중 모델 동시 표출 기능도 제공할 계획이다.

2011 년부터 2014 년까지 4 년간의 여름철에 한반도에 비교적 많은 강수를 남긴 23 개의 중규모 저기압-구름무리 집중호우 사례를 선정하여, 이들 사례에서의 중규모 저기압 발생과 이동 그리고 그것에 동반된 강수계에 의한 강수 발생을 수치예측하는 실험을 수행하였다. WRF 모델을 이용하여 12 km와 4 km 수평격자 크기로 수치실험을 진행하였으며, 각 사례에 대해 중규모 저기압이 발생한 시점을 초기 시각으로 하여 수치적분을 수행하였다. 수치실험 결과와 AWS 강수량 관측 자료를 $0.1^{\circ}{\times}0.1^{\circ}$ 격자에 각각 내삽한 후 비교하였다. 12 km 격자 실험에서는 25 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해 23개의 사례 중 9개 (39 %)만이 0.3이 넘는 성공임계지수(TS)를 나타냈고, 50 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해서는 17개 사례 중 7개 (41 %)의 사례에서 0.3이 넘는 TS가 나타났다. 4 km 실험에서는 25 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해 23개의 사례 중 10개 (43 %) 사례에서 0.3이 넘는 TS 값이 나타났고, 50 mm/12h 문턱값에 대해서는 17개 사례 중 7개 (41 %)로 나타나 WRF 모델의 수평격자 크기와 관계없이 비슷한 성능을 보였다. 중규모 저기압이 진행하는 경로에 따라 예측 능력에 차이가 나타났다. 23개 사례를 중규모 저기압 발생지점으로부터의 이동경로에 따라 준 직선 경로 사례 그룹, 곡선형 경로 사례 그룹, 정체사례 그룹으로 분류하여 각 그룹에 대해 예측 능력을 조사한 결과, 직전 경로 사례들에 대한 4km 격자 모델 예측은 55 %의 사례에서 0.3보다 큰 TS값을 보여, 30 %의 사례에서 0.3 이상의 TS 값을 보인 곡선형 경로 사례들에 대한 예측보다 상대적으로 높은 예측 신뢰도를 보여 주었다.

Sea level rise and increase of the typhoon/hurricane intensity due to global warming have threaten coastal areas for residential and industrial and have been widely studied. In this study we showed our recent efforts on sea wind which is one of critical factors for safe maritime traffic and prediction for storm surges and waves. Currently, most of numerical weather models in korea do not have sufficient spatial and temporal resolutions, therefore we set up a find grid(about 9km) sea wind prediction system that predicts every 12 hours for three day using Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF). This system covers adjacent seas around korean peninsula Comparisons of two observed data, Ieodo Ocean Research station(IORS) and Yellow Sea Buoy(YSB), showed reasonable agreements and by data assimilation we will improve better accurate sea winds in near future.
