The angular momentum transport of an idealized axisymmetric vortex in the developing stage was investigated using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. The balanced axisymmetric vortex was constructed based on an empirical function for tangential wind, and the temperature, geopotential, and surface pressure were obtained from the balanced equation. The numerical simulation was carried out for 6 days on the f-plane with the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) set as constant. The weak vortex at initial time was intensified with time, and reached the strength of tropical cyclone in a couple of days. The Absolute Angular Momentum (AAM) was transported along with the secondary circulation of the vortex. Total AAM integrated over a cylinder of radius of 2000 km decreased with simulation time, but total kinetic energy increased rapidly. From the budget analysis, it was found that the surface friction is mainly responsible for the decrease of total AAM. Also, contribution of the surface friction to the AAM loss was about 90% while that of horizontal advection was as small as 8%. The trajectory of neutral numerical tracers following the secondary circulation was presented for the Lagrangian viewpoint of the transports of absolute angular momentum. From the analysis using the trajectory of tracers it was found that the air parcel was under the influence of the surface friction continuously until it leaves the boundary layer near the core. Then the air parcel with reduced amount of angular momentum compared to its original amount was transported from boundary layer to upper level of the vortex and contributed to form the anti-cyclone. These results suggest that the tropical cyclone loses angular momentum as it develops, which is due to the dissipation of angular momentum by the surface friction.

The heavy snowfall event over the eastern part of Seoul, Korea on Mar. 04, 2008 has been abruptly occurred after the frontal system with the heavy snowfall event had been past over the Korean peninsula on Mar. 03, 2008. Therefore, this heavy snowfall event couldn't be predicted well by any means of theoretical knowledges and models. After the cold front passed by, the cold air mass was flown over the peninsula immediately and became clear expectedly except the eastern part and southwestern part of peninsula with some large amount of snowfall. Even though the wide and intense massive cold anticyclone was expanded and enhanced by the lowest tropospheric baroclinicity over the Yellow Sea, but the intrusion and eastward movement of cold air to Seoul was too slow than normally predicted. Using the data of numerical model, satellite and radar images, three dimensional analysis Products(KLAPS : Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) of the environmental conditions of this event such as temperature, equivalent potential temperature, wind, vertical circulation, divergence, moisture flux divergence and relative vorticity could be analyzed precisely. Through the analysis of this event, the formation and westward advection of lower cyclonic circulation with continuously horizontal movement of air into the eastern part of Seoul by the analyses of KLAPS fields have been affected by occurring the heavy snowfall event. As the predictability of abrupt snowfall event was very hard and dependent on not only the synoptic atmospheric circulation but also for mesoscale atmospheric circulation, the forecaster can be predicted well this event which may be occurred and developed within the very short time period using sequential satellite images and KLAPS products.

The original Fog Stability Index (FSI) is formulated as FSI=$2(T-T_d)+2(T-T_{850})+WS_{850}$, where $T-T_d$ is dew point deficit (temperature-dew point temperature), $T-T_{850}$ is atmospheric stability measure (temperature-temperature at 850 hPa altitude) and $WS_{850}$ is wind speed at 850 hPa altitude. As a way to improve fog prediction at Incheon International Airport (IIA), we develop the modified FSI for IIA, using the meteorological data at IIA for two years from June 2011 to May 2013, the first one year for development and the second one year for validation. The relative contribution of the three parameters of the modified FSI is 9: 1: 0, indicating that $WS_{850}$ is found to be a non-contributing factor for fog formation at IIA. The critical success index (CSI) of the modified FSI is 0.68. Further development is made to consider the fact that fogs at IIA are highly influenced by advection of moisture from the Yellow Sea. One added parameter after statistical evaluation of the several candidate parameters is the dew point deficit at a buoy over the Yellow Sea. The relative contribution of the four parameters (including the new one) of the newly developed FSI is 10: 2: 0.5: 6.4. The CSI of the new FSI is 0.50. Since the developmental period of one year is too short, the FSI should be refined more as the data are accumulated more.

연안해역에서의 해상 운송량이 늘어남과 함께 유조선의 충돌 및 좌초 등의 해난사고에 의해 해양환경에 막대한 피해를 끼치는 원유 유출사고도 대폭 증가하고 있다. 누유의 효율적인 수거와 환경피해를 최소화 하기 위해서는 oil map 즉, 누유오염지역의 시간영역에서 정확한 예측이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 예측은 정수면위 누유의 초기확산과 조류, 바람 파도에 기인한 표층류에 의한 이동이라는 중요한 두가지 과정을 고려하여 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 초기확산만을 고려하였다. 누유의 초기확산 추정을 위해 새로운 수치모델과 기법이 제안되었다. 본 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 간단한 실험이 이루어졌다. 또한, 가상누유사고에 대해 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였는데 본 모델로 부터 기름층두께를 포함하는 매우 현실적인 oil map을 얻을 수 있었다.

The long-range transport mechanisms of Asian dust were analyzed based on the synoptic weather system and numerical simulation by using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and TOMS data during the periods of 1996-2001. We classified the whole weather types of eastern Asia during spring and created the representative weather types during the yellow sand events using cluster analysis and weather charts for the last 6 years(1996~2001). These long-range transport mechanisms were related to various pressure patterns including high and low, trough and ridge, and upper-level fronts. Case studies of the yellow sand events have performed by the simulation of MM5 with meteorological elements such as the horizontal wind of u and v component, potential temperature, potential vorticity, and vertical circulation during the episodic days(2~8 March 2001). In addition, the origin of the long-range transport was examined with the estimation of backward trajectory using HYSPLIT4 Model. In this paper, we concluded that three weather types at 1000 hPa, 850 hPa, 500 hPa, and 300 hPa levels were classified respectively. The dominant features were the extending continental outflow from China to Korea at 1000 hPa and 850 hPa levels, the deep trough passage and cold advection at 500 hPa and 300 hPa levels during the yellow sand events. And also, we confirmed the existence of pola $r_tropical jets in the upper-level, the behavior of potential vorticity over Korea, the estimation of potential vorticity through vertical cross section, and the transport of yellow sand through backward trajectories.es.

1965년부터 1979년까지의 해양관측자료를 사용하여 우리나라 남해에서 일어나는 수온역전현상을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 역전현상은 여름보다 겨울에 6배정도 많이 일어난다. 2) 겨울의 경우, 남해 서부해역에서는 수온역전이 모든 수심에서 골고루 일어나는 반면, 동부해역에서는 주로 표층에서 일어난다. 3) 여름의 경우, 서부해역에서는 역전층이 주로 수온약층 아래에 형성되는 반면, 동부해역에서는 주로 표층에 형성된다. 겨울의 역전현상은 기본적으로는 표면 냉각효과에 의해서 생기는 것으로 생각된다. 다만, 서부와 동부해역에서 역전층이 형성되는 수심에 차이가 있는 것은 쓰시마난류 영향의 정도가 양해역에서 크게 다르기 때문이라고 보여진다. 여름의 경우 서부해역에서는 쓰시마난류와 황해 저층냉수가 수온약층 밑에서 혼합되는 과정에서 생기는 것으로 보이고, 동부해역에서는 보다 수온이 낮은 물이 표층을 따라 유입하기 때문에 일어나는 것으로 생각된다.

The high oxidants, which occur the daily maximum concentrations in the afternoon, are transported into the other region via long range transport mechanisms or trapped within the shallow mixing boundary layer and then removed physically (deposition, transport by mountain wind, etc.) and chemically (reaction with local sources). Therefore, modeling formation of photochemical oxidants requires a complex description of both chemical and meteorological processes. In this study, as a part of air quality studies, we reviewed various aspects of photochemical modeling on the basis of currently available literature. The result of the review shows that the model is based on a set of coupled continuity equations describing advection, diffusion, transport, deposition, chemistry, emission. Also photochemical oxidant models require a large amount of input data concerned with all aspects of the ozone life cycle. First, emission inventories of hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides, with appropriate spatial and temporal resolution. Second, chemical and photochemical data allowing the quantitative description of the formation of ozone and other photochemically-generated secondary pollutants. Third, dry deposition mechanisms particularly for ozone, PAN and hydrogen peroxide to account for their removal by absorption on the ground, crops, natural vegetation, man-made and water surfaces. Finally, meteorological data describing the transport of primary pollutants away from their sources and of secondary pollutants towards the sensitive receptors where environmental damage may occur. In order to improve our present study, shortcomings and limitation of existing models are pointed out and verification process through observation is emphasized.

황해 및 동중국해에 있어서 하계 조석, 담수유입량과 풍향 풍속 변화에 따른 잔차류와 샨샤댐 건설 전과 후 양쯔강의 유량 변동에 따른 저염분 확산과 바람의 영향 등을 해석하고, 평가하였다. 3차원 해수유동모델에 의해 각 분조($M_2,\;S_2,\;K_1$과 $O_1$)의 정량적 그리고 정성적 측면의 진폭, 위상 및 흐름장이 실측값과 비교해서 재현성있게 시뮬레이션 되었다. $M_2,\;M_2+S_2$ 그리고 반일주조에 일주조 성분($K_1$과 $O_1$)의 합성에 의한 잔차류 결과는 유속의 변화와 더불어서 일부 지역에서 흐름패턴이 다르게 계산되었다. 하계 탁월풍의 세기가 커지면 양쯔강 하구에서 유출하는 힘과 대륙붕단 경계역에서 북상하는 흐름의 유속이 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 양쯔강에서 유출한 흐름은 근역에서는 동향성분이 강하게 나타나지만, 곧 황해에서 남하하는 성분에 의해 동쪽으로 충분히 확산하지 못하고 남하하거나 속도가 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 육상 유입원의 하계 평균 유량(특히, 양쯔강은 약 $50,000\;m^3/s$)과 남풍 3.5 m/s를 고려했을 경우, 26 psu 이하의 저염수가 유입지점에서 약 95 km정도 확장되고, 30 psu 이하의 염분농도선도 약 160 km까지 확장되는 것으로 나타났고, 최대 홍수량인 $116,000\;m^3/s$를 고려했을 경우는 26 psu 이하의 저염수가 river mouth에서 약 150 km정도 확장되고, 30 psu 이하의 염분농도선도 약 300 km까지 확장되는 것으로 예측되었다. 하계 탁월풍에서 풍속이 약 1.5m/s 정도 강해지면, 저염의 확산 폭이 약 10 km정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 외해에 있어서 저염수는 남서풍에 의해서는 남동방향으로 그리고 북서풍에 의해서는 남서방향으로 퍼져나가는 양상을 보였다. 양쯔강에서 유출되는 평균적인 담수량에 의한 관성력과 조류의 힘만으로는 저염수가 제주도까지 도달하는 것은 힘들겠지만, 바람장과 북상하는 난류의 흐름이 합쳐질 때는 충분히 제주도 인근 해역까지 그 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 예측되었다.

An unusual autumn storm developed rapidly in the western part of the East sea on the early morning of 23 October 2006. This storm produced a record-breaking heavy rain and strong wind in the northern and middle part of the Yeong-dong region; 24-h rainfall of 304 mm over Gangneung and wind speed exceeding 63.7 m $s^{-1}$ over Sokcho. In this study, MTSAT-1R (Multi-fuctional Transport Satellite) water vapor and infrared channel imagery are examined to find out some features which are dynamically associated with the development of the storm. These features may be the precursor signals of the rapidly developing storm and can be employed for very short range forecast and nowcasting of severe storm. The satellite features are summarized: 1) MTSAT-1R Water Vapor imagery exhibited that distinct dark region develops over the Yellow sea at about 12 hours before the occurrence of maximum rainfall about 1100 KST on 23 October 2006. After then, it changes gradually into dry intrusion. This dark region in the water vapor image is closely related with the positive anomaly in 500 hPa Potential Vorticity field. 2) In the Infrared imagery, low stratus (brightness temperature: $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$) develops from near Bo-Hai bay and Shanfung peninsula and then dissipates partially on the western coast of Korean peninsula. These features are found at 10~12 hours before the maximum rainfall occurrence, which are associated with the cold and warm advection in the lower troposphere. 3) The IR imagery reveals that two convective cloud cells (brightness temperature below $-50^{\circ}C$) merge each other and after merging it grows up rapidly over the western part of East sea at about 5 hours before the maximum rainfall occurrence. These features remind that there must be the upward flow in the upper troposphere and the low-layer convergence over the same region of East sea. The time of maximum growth of the convective cloud agrees well with the time of the maximum rainfall.
