This study investigates the influence of anthropogenic heat (AH) release on urban boundary layer in the Gyeong-In region using the Weather Research and Forecasting model that includes the Seoul National University Urban Canopy Model (SNUUCM). The gridded AH emission data, which is estimated in the Gyeong-In region in 2002 based on the energy consumption statistics data, are implemented into the SNUUCM. The simulated air temperature and wind speed show good agreement with the observed ones particularly in terms of phase for 11 urban sites, but they are overestimated in the nighttime. It is found that the influence of AH release on air temperature is larger in the nighttime than in the daytime even though the AH intensity is larger in the daytime. As compared with the results with AH release and without AH release, the contribution of AH release on urban heat island intensity is large in the nighttime and in the morning. As the AH intensity increases, the water vapor mixing ratio decreases in the daytime but increases in the nighttime. The atmospheric boundary layer height increases greatly in the morning (0800 - 1100 LST) and midnight (0000 LST). These results indicate that AH release can have an impact on weather and air quality in urban areas.

During December 2022, the northeast monsoon, which dominates the south and the Gulf of Thailand, had significant rainfall that impacted the lower southern region, causing flash floods, landslides, blustery winds, and the river exceeding its bank. The Golok River, located in Narathiwat, divides the border between Thailand and Malaysia was also affected by rainfall. In flood management, instruments for measuring precipitation and water level have become important for assessing and forecasting the trend of situations and areas of risk. However, such regions are international borders, so the installed measuring telemetry system cannot measure the rainfall and water level of the entire area. This study aims to predict 72 hours of water level and evaluate the situation as information to support the government in making water management decisions, publicizing them to relevant agencies, and warning citizens during crisis events. This research is applied to machine learning (ML) for water level prediction of the Golok River, Lan Tu Bridge area, Sungai Golok Subdistrict, Su-ngai Golok District, Narathiwat Province, which is one of the major monitored rivers. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm, a tree-based ensemble machine learning algorithm, was exploited to predict hourly water levels through the R programming language. Model training and testing were carried out utilizing observed hourly rainfall from the STH010 station and hourly water level data from the X.119A station between 2020 and 2022 as main prediction inputs. Furthermore, this model applies hourly spatial rainfall forecasting data from Weather Research and Forecasting and Regional Ocean Model System models (WRF-ROMs) provided by Hydro-Informatics Institute (HII) as input, allowing the model to predict the hourly water level in the Golok River. The evaluation of the predicted performances using the statistical performance metrics, delivering an R-square of 0.96 can validate the results as robust forecasting outcomes. The result shows that the predicted water level at the X.119A telemetry station (Golok River) is in a steady decline, which relates to the input data of predicted 72-hour rainfall from WRF-ROMs having decreased. In short, the relationship between input and result can be used to evaluate flood situations. Here, the data is contributed to the Operational support to the Special Water Resources Management Operation Center in Southern Thailand for flood preparedness and response to make intelligent decisions on water management during crisis occurrences, as well as to be prepared and prevent loss and harm to citizens.

본 연구에서는 Pusan National University Coupled General Circulation Model-Weather Research and Forecasting (PNU CGCM-WRF)에서 생산된 hindcast 자료(1986~2020)를 이용하여 우리나라의 주요 곡물 중 하나인 콩의 생육단계별 고온해 및 저온해 발생일수의 예측성을 평가하였다. 예측성을 평가하는 방법으로는 Normalized Standard Deviations (NSD), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Hit Rate (HR), Heidke Skill Score (HSS)이다. 이를 위해 먼저 콩의 고온해 및 저온해를 정의하는 변수인 일 최고기온(Tmax) 및 일 최저기온(Tmin)의 모의성능을 검증하였다. 그 결과 1~5월(01RUN~05RUN)의 초기조건을 가지고 시작하는 월에 따라 다소 차이가 있지만, Variance Scaling 방법을 적용하여 보정한 결과가 보정전보다 관측과 유사하게 나타났으며, 보정한 3~10월의 Tmax 및 Tmin에 대한 모의성능은 전반적으로 01RUN~05RUN에 Simple Composite Method (SCM)을 적용하여 평균한 결과(ENS)에서 높게 나타났다. 또한, 콩의 생육시기별 고온해 및 저온해 발생일수의 지역적 패턴과 특성을 관측과 비교하였을 때 모형이 잘 모의하고 있다. ENS에서 콩의 고온해(저온해)에 대한 HR과 HSS는 생육시기 별로 0.45~0.75, 0.02~0.10(0.49~0.76, -0.04~0.11)의 범위를 가진다. 결론적으로, PNU CGCM-WRF chain의 01RUN~05RUN 및 ENS는 우리나라 콩의 생육시기별 고온해 및 저온해를 예측할 수 있는 성능을 가지고 있다.

2020년 6월 여름철 중위도 동아시아 지역의 온난화가 PM_2.5 에어로졸의 생성기작에 미치는 영향을 WRF-Chem 모델에 기상과 기후 입력 자료를 적용하여 산출한 PM_2.5 에어로졸 아노말리를 통해 분석하였다. 30년(1991-2020년) 동안 동아시아 지역의 10년 단위 기온 변화 경향은 최근에 겨울보다는 여름에 온난화가 더 커지는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 동아시아 지역의 여름철 온난화는 중국 내륙의 대류권 하층에서는 저기압, 대류권 상층에서는 고기압을 발생시키고 있었다. 대류권 하층 저기압과 상층 고기압의 경계가 티베트고원으로부터 한국으로 낮아지는 지형을 따라 경사져 분포하고 있었다. 중국 동부-황해-한국의 지역에는 저기압과 더불어 북서 태평양 고기압의 발달로 동중국해로부터 온난 다습한 남서 기류가 수렴하고 있었다. 한국에서는 1973년 이래로 6월 중에는 2020년에 가장 높은 기온이 관측되었다. 한편 동아시아 지역에서 강화된 온난화는 중국 동부지역으로부터 한반도로 장거리를 이동하는 PM_2.5 에어로졸의 생성을 증가시키고 있었다. WRF-Chem (Weather Research Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry) 모델에 배출량의 변동은 고려하지 않고, 기상 및 기후 입력장(1991-2020년)만을 적용하여 산출한 PM_2.5 아노말리는 중국 동부지역으로부터 황해와 한국, 그리고 북서 태평양 지역에 걸쳐 양(+)으로 분포하고 있었다. 따라서, 2020년 6월 동아시아 지역에서 PM_2.5 질량 농도에 대한 온난화 기여도는 50% 이상이었다. 특히 PM_2.5 에어로졸이 중국 동부로부터 황해를 거쳐 한국으로 장거리 수송되는 과정에서 온난 다습한 남서 기류에 의해 황산염은 습식세정 되고 있지만 질산염은 생성이 촉진되고 있었다.

In order to clarify the impacts of thermal difference in atmospheric boundary layer due to the different sophistication of building information in Busan metropolitan areas, several numerical simulations were carried out. ACM (Albedo Calculation Model) and WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) was applied for estimating albedo and meteorological elements in urban area, respectively. In comparison with coarse aggregated and small buildings, diurnal variation of albedo is highly frequent and its total value tend to be smaller in densely aggregated and tall buildings. Estimated TKE and sensible heat flux with sophisticatedly urban building parameterization is more resonable and valid values are mainly induced by urban building sophistication. The simulation results suggest that decreased albedo and increased roughness due to skyscraper plays an important role in the result of thermal change in atmospheric boundary layer.

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was designed to identify the role of the Taebaek Mountains in the occurrence of heavy snowfall in Yeongdong area with a strong northeast wind on January 20-21, 2008. To this end, in addition to the control simulation with the realistic distribution of the Taebaek Mountains, a sensitivity experiment that removed the orography over the Taebaek Mountains was performed. The control simulation results showed that the resulting wind field and precipitation distribution were similar to what were observed. Results from the sensitivity experiment clearly demonstrates the presence of orographic lifting on the windward slope of the mountains. It is concluded that the altitude of the Taebaek Mountains is the main controlling factor in determining the distribution and amount of precipitation in the Yeongdong area for the case of heavy snowfall in January 2008.

This study evaluates the long-term seasonal predictability of summer (June, July and August) heatwaves over South Korea using 30-year (1989~2018) Hindcast data of the Pusan National University Coupled General Circulation Model (PNU CGCM)-Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) chain. Heatwave indices such as Number of Heatwave days (HWD), Heatwave Intensity (HWI) and Heatwave Warning (HWW) are used to explore the long-term seasonal predictability of heatwaves. The prediction skills for HWD, HWI, and HWW are evaluated in terms of the Temporal Correlation Coefficient (TCC), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Skill Scores such as Heidke Skill Score (HSS) and Hit Rate (HR). The spatial distributions of daily maximum temperature simulated by WRF are similar overall to those simulated by NCEP-R2 and PNU CGCM. The WRF tends to underestimate the daily maximum temperature than observation because the lateral boundary condition of WRF is PNU CGCM. According to TCC, RMSE and Skill Score, the predictability of daily maximum temperature is higher in the predictions that start from the February and April initial condition. However, the PNU CGCM-WRF chain tends to overestimate HWD, HWI and HWW compared to observations. The TCCs for heatwave indices range from 0.02 to 0.31. The RMSE, HR and HSS values are in the range of 7.73 to 8.73, 0.01 to 0.09 and 0.34 to 0.39, respectively. In general, the prediction skill of the PNU CGCM-WRF chain for heatwave indices is highest in the predictions that start from the February and April initial condition and is lower in the predictions that start from January and March. According to TCC, RMSE and Skill Score, the predictability is more influenced by lead time than by the effects of topography and/or terrain feature because both HSS and HR varies in different leads over the whole region of South Korea.

Future climate changes over the Seoul metropolitan area (SMA) were predicted by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model using future land-use data from the urban growth model (SLEUTH) and forecast fields from ECHAM5/MPI-OM1 GCM (IPCC scenario A1B). Simulations from the SLEUTH model with GIS information (slope, urban, hill-shade, etc.) derived from the water management information system (WAMIS) and the intelligent transportation systems-standard nodes link (ITS-SNL) showed that considerable increase by 17.1% in the fraction of urban areas (FUA) was found within the SMA in 2020. To identify the effects of the urban growth on the temperature and wind variations in the future, WRF simulations by considering urban growth were performed for two seasons (summer and winter) in 2020s (2018~2022) and they were compared with those in the present (2003~2007). Comparisons of model results showed that significant changes in surface temperature (2-meter) were found in an area with high urban growth. On average in model domain, positive increases of $0.31^{\circ}C$ and $0.10^{\circ}C$ were predicted during summer and winter, respectively. These were higher than contributions forced by climate changes. The changes in surface temperature, however, were very small expect for some areas. This results suggested that surface temperature in metropolitan areas like the SMA can be significantly increased only by the urban growth during several decades.

This study evaluates the predictability of the number of days of heat and cold damages by growth stages of rice in South Korea using the hindcast data (1986~2020) produced by Pusan National University Coupled General Circulation Model-Weather Research and Forecasting (PNU CGCM-WRF) model chain. The predictability is accessed in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Normalized Standardized Deviations (NSD), Hit Rate (HR) and Heidke Skill Score (HSS). For the purpose, the model predictability to produce the daily maximum and minimum temperatures, which are the variables used to define heat and cold damages for rice, are evaluated first. The result shows that most of the predictions starting the initial conditions from January to May (01RUN to 05RUN) have reasonable predictability, although it varies to some extent depending on the month at which integration starts. In particular, the ensemble average of 01RUN to 05RUN with equal weighting (ENS) has more reasonable predictability (RMSE is in the range of 1.2~2.6℃ and NSD is about 1.0) than individual RUNs. Accordingly, the regional patterns and characteristics of the predicted damages for rice due to excessive high- and low-temperatures are well captured by the model chain when compared with observation, particularly in regions where the damages occur frequently, in spite that hindcasted data somewhat overestimate the damages in terms of number of occurrence days. In ENS, the HR and HSS for heat (cold) damages in rice is in the ranges of 0.44~0.84 and 0.05~0.13 (0.58~0.81 and -0.01~0.10) by growth stage. Overall, it is concluded that the PNU CGCM-WRF chain of 01RUN~05RUN and ENS has reasonable capability to predict the heat and cold damages for rice in South Korea.
