This study investigated the variability of spring (March-May) forest fire risk in Korea for the period 1991~2017 and analyzed its relationship with large-scale climate factors. The Forest Weather Index (FWI) representing the meteorological risk for forest fire occurrences calculated based on observational data and its relationship with large-scale climate factors were analyzed. We performed the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis on the spring FWI. The leading EOF mode of FWI accounting for about 70% of total variability was found to be highly correlated with total number of forest fire occurrences in Korea. The high FWI, forest fire occurrence risk, in Korea, is associated with warmer atmosphere temperature in midwest Eurasia-China-Korea peninsula, cyclonic circulation anomaly in northeastern China-Korea peninsula-northwest pacific, westerly wind anomaly in central China-Korea peninsula, and low humidity in Korea. These are further related with warmer sea surface temperature and enhanced outgoing longwave radiation over Western Pacific, which represents a typical condition for a La $Ni\tilde{n}a$ episode. This suggests that large-scale climate factors over East Asia and ENSO could have a significant influence on the occurrence of spring forest fires in Korea.

생태계 과정 모형인 BIOME-BGC를 이용해 국내 상록침엽수림의 탄소-물 순환 과정의 계절 및 연간 변화를 모의하여 국내의 소나무 고사 현상의 기후-토심 영향을 분석하였다. 연구지로 2009년과 2014년 각각 소나무 대량 고사가 발생한 밀양과 울진을 선정하였다. 두 지역의 표준강수지수를 산정한 결과 약 5년 내외의 주기의 가뭄현상을 판별하였다. 2000년 중반 이후 가뭄은 고온 건조 기후 특성을 보였다. 모형의 여러 변수를 조사한 결과, 임시탄소저장소인 Cpool 변수가 탄소기아에 의한 소나무고사 현상과 개연성이 큰 변수로 나타났다. Cpool의 감소는 총일차생산성(GPP) 감소 혹은 유지호흡(Rm) 증가의 결과로 발생하였고, 연구기간 중 Cpool이 최저값을 보인 해는 각 연구지역에서 소나무 대량 고사가 발생한 해와 잘 일치하였다. 두 지역 모두 가뭄에 의한 GPP 감소와 고온에 의한 Rm 증가가 Cpool의 감소를 초래하였는데, GPP와 Rm의 상대적 기여도는 지역별로 상이하였다. 특히 저온다습한 울진의 경우 Rm 증가 영향이 중요한 요인이었다. 한편 낮은 토심에서 생산성, 생체량, 증산량, Cpool 등 제반 탄소-물 관련 변수가 감소하였고 연간 변동폭이 증가하였다. 그러나 0.5 m 이하 토심에서는 Cpool에 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 일정 수준 이하의 토심에서 생체량-생산성-유지호흡 간의 균형에 따라 Cpool이 유지되는 적응 메커니즘이 나타난 것으로 보인다. 이 연구의 결과 소나무 고사와 관련한 고온건조-탄소 기아 가설을 제안하였고, 보다 현실적 분석을 위한 향후 모형 개선 방향을 제안하였다.

동한 난류의 북상 끝부분 해역에서 재발생하는 와동류는 봄철과 가을철에 위성이 관측한 해수면 온도 영상에 나타났다. 이러한 재발생 와동류는 1997년 9월 하순 NOAA 위성에 탑재된 AVHRR의 열적외선 영상과 일본 ADEOS 위성에 탑재된 OCTS의 클로로필 영상에도 나타났다. 와동류의 중심은 주변보다 온도가 낮으며, OCTS 위성자료에서 3mg/m$^3$ 이상의 클로로필 농도가 나타났다. 반면, 와동류를 이루는 주변의 더운물에서는 클로로필 농도가 1mg/m$^3$ 이하로 나타났다. 와동류는 가을철 표면수온영상에도 나타났으며 봄에 나타난 것보다 와동류 중심핵의 찬물 온도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 와동류 중심에서 서쪽축의 더운물 온도가 봄에 나타난 것보다 가을에 더 높게 나타났다. 1998년 3월 NOAA 위성과 SeaWIFS 위성자료에서도 재발생되는 와동류와 클로로필량의 농도가 높은 물이 와동류 주변으로 포획되는 장면이 포착되었다. 동한난류의 북쪽 확장 선두와 약 1500m 수심의 대륙붕 위로 남하하는 리만한류가 만나 충돌하는 해역에서 와동류가 형성되는 것으로 사료된다. 와동류가 형성되는 이 해역은 동해 중앙부 해수면에서 우세하게 나타나는 극전선역에서 중규모 구조의 와동류가 극전선 서쪽 해역의 역학적인 해양현상과 강한 연관성이 있음을 나타내었다. ARGOS 위성 추적 표류부이와 와동류의 상호연관성 및 와동류의 지속성에 관한 증거가 토론되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pre-warming on body temperature, anxiety, pain, and thermal comfort. Methods: Forty patients who were scheduled for abdominal surgery were recruited as study participants and were assigned to the experimental or control group. For the experimental group, a forced air warmer was applied for 45-90 min (M=68.25, SD=15.50) before surgery. Body temperature and anxiety were measured before and after the experiment, but pain and thermal comfort were assessed only after the surgery. Hypotheses were tested using t-test and repeated measured ANOVA. Results: The experimental group showed higher body temperature than the control group from right before induction to two hours after surgery. Post-operative anxiety and pain in the experimental group were less than those of the control group. In addition, the score of thermal comfort was significantly higher in the experiment group. Conclusion: Pre-warming is effective in maintaining body temperature, lowering sensitivity to pain and anxiety, and promoting thermal comfort. Therefore, pre-warming can be recommended as a preoperative nursing intervention.

Atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in Seoul, South Korea between July 1999 and May 2000 were determined to investigate concentration distribution in air, relationship between concentrations and meteorological conditions, and apportionment of sources e.g. local sources (air- surface exchange) and long range transport. Endosulfan and $\alpha$-HCH were the highest concentrations in atmosphere with values typcally ranging from 10s to l00s of pg/㎥. These high concentrations may be attributed to their usage, period and chemical property (Koa). All OCPs also showed elevated levels during the summer and were positively correlated with temperature. This would suggest that a seasonal enhancement was due to (re)volatilization from secondary sources and application during the warmer months. The temperature dependence of atmospheric concentrations of OCPs were investigated using plots of the natural logarithm of partial pressure (In P) vs reciprocal mean temperatures (1/T), and environmental phase-transition energies were calculated for each of the pesticides. For OCPs, temperature dependence was statistically significant (at the 99.99% confidence level) and temperature accounted for 35~95% of the variability in concentrations. The relatively higher slopes and phase-transition energies for $\alpha$-, ${\gamma}$-chlordane, endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate suggested that volatilization from local sources influenced their concentrations. The relatively lower those for $\alpha$-, ${\gamma}$-HCH, p, p'-DDE and heptachlor epoxide also suggested that volatilization from local sources and long range transport influenced their concentrations.

We conducted a time-series analysis of temperature and salinity of sea water around Jeju Island, Korea. Monthly mean temperature and salinity was influenced by precipitation and weather conditions on Jeju as well as by oceanographic conditions of the open sea such as the Tsushima Warm Current and sea water in coastal areas. Salinity of Jeju coastal waters was the highest in April, and it was always over 34.00 psu with tiny fluctuation between December and June. Due to the effects of the Tsushima Warm Current, Jeju coastal waters maintained high salinity and stability. Low salinity and its large fluctuations during summer were closely associated with the China Coastal Water and precipitation in Jeju. The place of the lowest water temperature was the northeast coasts of Jeju (Gimneong, Hado, Jongdalri). In winter, as warmer water of the Tsushima Warm Current appeared in western area of Jeju dwindled flowing along the northern coasts of Jeju area and becoming cool, the lowest water temperature often appeared locally in Gimnyeong and its vicinitly in summer. The Tsushima Warm Current flows into the east entrance of Jeju Strait, but its influence is weak because of geometry and strong vertical mixing due to fast tidal currents.

The purpose of this study is to examine and to evaluate the wearing performance of pile materials to produce velvet fabrics which have excellent wearing comfort. Acetate velvet, Cuprammonium rayon velvet were combined as textiles for clothing and acetate and viscose rayon were as textiles for lining at the environmental condition of temperature $15^{\circ}C,\;18^{\circ}C,\;21^{\circ}C,\;24^{\circ}C$, relative humidity $50{\pm}5%$ and air velocity 0.25 m/sec. Wearing comfort among 4 materials combinations(Aa, Av, Ra, Rv) was examined and compared. The results are as follows. The investigation of mean skin temperature for environmental temperature and material combinations showed that the mean temperature had a significant difference at the p<0.01 level in accordance with environmental temperature and material combinations.(Aa>Av>Ra>Rv) Moreover, in clothing climate only clothing temperature tended to increase almost linearly but at $24^{\circ}C$ there was no significant difference among textiles for lining compared with the other environmental temperatures. In subjective sensations thermal sensation and comfort sensation showed a significant difference in environmental temperatures and materials.(Aa>Av>Ra>Rv) Though a subject felt warmer, more humid, and more uncomfortable at $24^{\circ}C$ for all of the material combinations comparing with the other temperatures, there was no significant difference in materials.

The purpose of this study is to find out the present thermal environment of the Korean livingroom in comparison with the Japan's. Thermal environment of the livingroom with radiant floor heating system in Korea and Japan is analysed. The surveys and measurements are took place in two detached houses and two apartments in Seoul, Korea and two apartments in Tokyo, Japan for a 48-hour period at the beginning of March, 2003. The result of this study shows that the thermal environment of the livingroom in Korean houses, especially in the apartments is warmer and stabler than the Japan's. However, despite of its high temperature, Koreans have a tendency to rise their room temperature creating excess.

Before investigating the long-term variations in macrobenthic communities sampled in the Chokchon macrotidal flat in Inchon, Korea, from 1989 to 1996, we need to understand how environmental factors in the area vary. As potential governing agents of tidal flat communities, abiotic factors such as mean sea level, seawater, air temperature, and precipitation were considered. Data for these factors were collected at equal intervals from 1976 or 1980 to 1996, and were analyzed using a decomposition method. In this analysis, all the above variables showed strong seasonal nature, and yielded a significant trend and cyclical variation. Positive trends were seen in the seawater and air temperatures, and based upon this relationship, it was found that the biological sampling period of our program has been carried out during warmer periods in succession. This paper puts forth some hypotheses concerning the response of tidal flat macrobenthos communities to the changing environment including mild winters in succession.
