Background: This study evaluated the atmospheric dispersion of radioactive material according to local weather conditions and emission conditions. Materials and Methods: Local weather conditions were defined as 8 patterns that frequently occur around the Kori Nuclear Power Plant and emission conditions were defined as 6 patterns from a combination of emission rates and the total number of particles of the $^{137}Cs$, using the WRF/HYSPLIT modeling system. Results and Discussion: The highest mean concentration of $^{137}Cs$ occurred at 0900 LST under the ME4_1 (main wind direction: SSW, daily average wind speed: $2.8ms^{-1}$), with a wide region of its high concentration due to the continuous wind changes between 0000 and 0900 LST; under the ME3 (NE, $4.1ms^{-1}$), the highest mean concentration of $^{137}Cs$ occurred at 1500 and 2100 LST with a narrow dispersion along a strong northeasterly wind. In the case of ME4_4 (S, $2.7ms^{-1}$), the highest mean concentration of $^{137}Cs$ occurred at 0300 LST because $^{137}Cs$ stayed around the KNPP under low wind speed and low boundary layer height. As for the emission conditions, EM1_3 and EM2_3 that had the maximum total number of particles showed the widest dispersion of $^{137}Cs$, while its highest mean concentration was estimated under the EM1_1 considering the relatively narrow dispersion and high emission rate. Conclusion: This study showed that even though an area may be located within the same radius around the Kori Nuclear Power Plant, the distribution and levels of $^{137}Cs$ concentration vary according to the change in time and space of weather conditions (the altitude of the atmospheric boundary layer, the horizontal and vertical distribution of the local winds, and the precipitation levels), the topography of the regions where $^{137}Cs$ is dispersed, the emission rate of $^{137}Cs$, and the number of emitted particles.

Construction work is affected by the weather; e.g. snowfall, rainfall and low-high ambient temperature, especially at a site in a severe climate. The influence of the weather is one of the possible reasons for delays in a construction schedule and quality deterioration. To protect the worksite from severe weather conditions, the temporary roof and wall could be installed on the outside of main structures designed in advance and the temporary structures could be took down after a period use. The greater coverage all-weather construction method is applied, the larger the effect. so, it is important and needs that the temporary roof and wall can be widely applied, designed to effectively about structure and layout.

It is challenging work to predict weather and climate conditions of the future in advance. Since ENIAC was developed, weather and climate research areas have been taking advantage of the improvements in computer hardware. High performance computers allows researchers to build high quality models that allow them to make good predictions of what might happen in the future. Statistics on the high performance computers are one of the major interest to not only manufacturers but also the users such as weather and climate researchers. For this reason, the Top500 Supercomputer Sites Report has been being released twice a year since 1993 to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high performance computing. Using the Top500 Report, a short review on the supercomputer trends in weather and climate research areas is provided in this article.

In the case that construcion period is delayed because of the force majeure such as a typhoon or a flood, the owners in general should compensate the damages caused by those. But with exception the weather worsening of ordinary level is paid by contractors, while that of exceptional level by the owners. It is critical that it is difficult to distinguish objectively between ordinary and exceptional level weather worsening. Although the term of "ordinary" itself is too abstractive, we can reduce the disputes between owners and contractors by setting the appropriate and objective standard of distinction. For example in the case of rainfall it may be the standard of distinction whether the days of actual rainfall exceed those of average rainfall or not. If the days of actual rainfall don't exceed those of average rainfall contracters should pay the damages because it is distinguished with a ordinary level weather worsening. Besides the standard of distinction in another weather worsening such as severe cold/hot, strong wind etc. which have a effect on delaying the term of works could be settled as a similar model.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the pain and the weather. One hundred ninety three patients treated for pain were recruited for this study. All subjects completed a 8-item weather and pain questionnaire to find out whether the pain are related to change in the weather, Of all subjects, 126 patients(65.3%) believed that change in the weather affected their pain. Of theses 126 patients, 85 patients(67.5%) reported that their pain was affected before weather changes, 44 patients(34.9%) stated that their pain was affected during weather changes. Damp/Rainy(n=91, 72.2%) and cold(n=60, 47.6%) conditions were mostly considered to have influence on pain. Of all subjects, 125 patients(64.8%) believed that change in the weather affected their mood. In the female group, a tendency to have pain or mood sensitivity to change in the weather was significantly higher than the male group(p=0.006, p=0.003) In the non-religious group, a tendency to have pain or mood sensitivity to change in the weather was significantly higher than the religious group(p=0.006, p=0.004). Of the pain sensitive group to change in the weather, 97 patients(77.0%) reported that they also have mood sensitivity to change in the weather(p=0.000). In the pain or mood sensitive group to change in the weather, their pain intensity(VAS) was significantly higher than the other group(p=0.000, p=0.021). The results of this survey give support to the idea that most patients with pain believe that weather has an important impact on their pain. Further investigations are needed to identify the mechanisms involved in the effects of weather changes on pain.

High strength concrete(65MPa) was used for construction of the bulk cement storage silo by using sliding form. This paper presents mix design, production, quality control and experience with field application of high strength concrete under cold weather conditions. It is shown to be possible to produce high strength concrete of compressive strength of 50~60 MPa by using high-range water reducer to lower w/c ratio with appropriate quality control.

Localized atmospheric conditions between multi-reference stations can bring the tropospheric delay irregularity that becomes an error terms affecting positioning accuracy in network RTK environment. Imbalanced network error can affect the network solutions and it can corrupt the entire network solution and degrade the correction accuracy. If an anomaly could be detected before the correction message was generated, it is possible to eliminate the anomalous satellite that can cause degradation of the network solution during the tropospheric delay anomaly. An atmospheric grid that consists of four meteorological stations was used to detect an inhomogeneous weather conditions and tropospheric anomaly applied AWSs (automatic weather stations) meteorological data. The threshold of anomaly detection algorithm was determined based on the statistical weather data of AWSs for 5 years in an atmospheric grid. From the analytic results of anomaly detection algorithm it showed that the proposed algorithm can detect an anomalous satellite with an anomaly flag generation caused tropospheric delay anomaly during localized atmospheric conditions between stations. It was shown that the different precipitation condition between stations is the main factor affecting tropospheric anomalies.

A wide variety of image application methods, such as aerial image, terrestrial image, terrestrial laser, and stereo image point are currently under investigation to develop three-dimensional 3D geospatial information. In this study, matching points, which are needed to build a 3D model, were examined under diverse weather conditions by analyzing the stereo images recorded by closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed in the U-City. The tests on illuminance and precipitation conditions showed that the changes in the number of matching points were very sensitively correlated with the changes in the illuminance levels. Based on the performances of the CCTV cameras used in the test, this study was able to identify the optimal values of the shutter speed and iris. As a result, compared to an automatic control mode, improved matching points may be obtained for images filmed using the data obtained through this test in relation to different weather and illuminance conditions.

온실의 냉난방시스템 설계 기준에 적용하기 위한 외부기상조건을 설정하기 위하여 난방 설계용 외기온, 난방 degree-hour, 냉방 설계용 건구온도, 습구온도, 일사량을 분석하여 제시하였다. 우리나라 전 지역을 대상으로 현재 기상청에서 제공하는 기후평년값 기준인 1981~2010년까지 30년간의 매 시각 기상자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 표준기상데이터의 이용이 제한적이기 때문에 30년간의 전체 기상자료를 이용하여 설계용 기상조건을 구하고, 전체 자료기간의 평균값을 설계기준으로 제시하였다. TAC 방식으로 위험률 1, 2.5, 5%에 대한 설계용 기상자료를 분석하고, 설계기준에서 추천하고 있는 난방용은 위험률 1%, 냉방용은 위험률 2.5%의 기상조건 분포도를 제시하였다. 지역별, 위험률별 및 설정온도별로 최대난방부하, 기간난방부하 및 최대냉방부하의 변화를 고찰하였다. 제시된 각종 설계용 기상조건은 온실의 냉난방시스템 설계에 직접 이용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 냉난방 설비 보강이나 에너지 절감대책의 수립에 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 한편 기후변화로 인하여 최근 여름철 폭염이나 겨울철 이상고온 현상이 자주 발생하고 있으므로 주기적인 설계용 기상자료의 분석이 필요하고, 최소한 10년 주기로 설계기준을 개정할 필요가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 기후평년값 기준인 1981~2010년까지의 기상자료를 분석하였으나 이 기준이 1991~2020년으로 바뀌는 2021년에는 즉시 이 기간의 기상자료를 분석하여 새로운 설계기준으로 제공해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 가상주행 시뮬레이터 실험을 통해 악천후시 가변 제한속도 표출 효과를 검토하였다. 본 연구는 기상변화 없이 제한속도를 낮추어 표출한 경우와 기상이 변화되었는데도 제한속도를 낮추어 표출하지 못한 경우는 운전자의 기대심리를 위배한 것으로 기상 변화에 따라 속도를 감속 표출하는 것에 비해 상대적으로 안전 측면에서 바람직하지 못하다고 가정하고 이를 가상주행 시뮬레이터 결과를 통해 검토하였다. 본 연구는 운전자의 기대심리에 부합되는 정도를 나타내는 지표로 운전자 순응도를 선택하였고, 이를 정량화하기 위한 수단으로 표출 제한속도를 포함한 일정 속도구간 내 누적확률밀도를 이용하였다. 검토결과, 운전자의 기대심리를 위배하였다고 가정한 조건들이 비교그룹에 비해 상대적으로 운전자의 주행행태적 측면에서 부정적인 것으로 평가되었다.
