40가지 이상의 대기중 화학성분과 기상조건이 1988년 5월과 6월 사이의 MLOPEX기간 동안 동시 측정되었다. MLOPEX의 기본 목표는 인간의 직접적 오염을 받지 않는 청정 대류권(free tropo-sphere)에 위치한 Mauna Loa(Hawaii) 관측소에서 대기중 여러 화학 물질들의 배경 농도들을 파악하고 그들의 상관관계를 규명하며, 그 결과를 광화학적 모델에 적응하여 모델의 적합성과 보완점을 이해하는 것이었다. 예상과는 달리 청정 대류권내에서도 상당히 복잡하고 다양한 농도의 변화를 보여 모델에 적용시킬 배경농도를 단순히 평균값으로 결정 하기에는 어려움이 있었다. 이 연구에서는 cluster와 factor 분석의 통계적 방법을 이용하여 MLOPEX 기간동안 관측소에 나타난 기단(airmass)의 특성을 분류하고, 그 중 청정대기를 대표할 수 있는 농도를 결정하는 것이다. cluster 분석방법은 13가지 분석변수(variable)들을 크게 3가지의 그룹; (1)상대적으로 깨끗하고 오래된 공기를 대표하는 변수들 (2)인위적인 오염을 지시하는 변수들 (3)주위 해양과 화산의 영향을 나타내는 변수들로 분리하였다. 또 factor분석에 의해서는 (1)화산 영향 대기 (2)성층권 대기 (3)오염된 대기경계층 공기(boundary-lay-er air) (4)광화학적 연무(haze) (5)해양성 대기경계층 공기 (6)해양성 청정공기들로 분류되었다. 이 결과를 가지고 계산한 Mauna Loa 관측소의 청정공기 배경농도와 조건값들은 다음과 같다. : $O_3$(41$\pm$10ppbv), HN $O_3$(94 $\pm$ 45pptv), N $O_3$$^{-}$(16 $\pm$ 10pptv), S $O_4$= (60 $\pm$ 0pptv), N $H_4$$^{＋}$ (71 $\pm$ 6pptv), $Na^{＋}$(5 $\pm$ 1pptv), PAN(13 $\pm$9pptv), MeN $O_3$(methyl nitrate, 3.5 $\pm$ 1.5pptv), 2- butyl N $O_3$(0.6$\pm$0.1pptv), $H_2O$$_2$(1015$\pm$44pptv), $C_2$C $l_4$(3.3$\pm$0.1pptv), 응결핵(249$\pm$13$cm^{-3}$), 이슬점온도(-8.5 $\pm$ 5.3$^{\circ}C$).

Recent climate change has led to fluctuations in agricultural production, and as a result national food supply has become an important strategic factor in economic policy. As such, in this study, panel data was collected to analyze the effects of seven meteorological elements and using the Lagrange multipliers method, the fixed-effects model for the production of five types of food crop and the seven meteorological elements were analyzed. Results showed that the key factors effecting increases in production of rice grains were average temperature, average relative humidity and average ground surface temperature, while wheat and barley were found to have positive correlations with average temperature and average humidity. The implications of this study are as follow. First, it was confirmed that the meteorological elements have profound effects on the production of food crops. Second, when compared to existing studies, the study was not limited to one food crop but encompassed all five types, and went beyond other studies that were limited to temperature and rainfall to include various meterological elements.

The objective of this study was to develop and assess a method for estimating the rain scavenging ratios (RSRs) of particle-bound PAHs and PCBs using measured scavenging ratio of particulate matters (PM) and routinely available data of physico-chemical properties of PM. Paired atmospheric and rainwater sampling was conducted for a total of 4 rain events. Assuming equilibrium partitioning in rainwater-gas-PM system, an equation was derived for estimating the RSR of particle-bound chemicals as a function of RSR of PM and three equilibrium partition constants (i.e. dimensionless Henry's law constant, gas-particle partition coefficient, and water-particle partition coefficient). For all PAHs, the model significantly under-predicted the RSR while the model prediction for PCBs agreed with observation mostly within a factor of 5. The RSR model for the chemicals is of limited use as its accuracy critically depends on how close the observed partitioning of the chemicals in the gas-PM-rainwater system is to that estimated under the equilibrium assumption.

This proposed simulation-based design study is based on the design of residential high-rise buildings in South-Korea. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the amount of daylighting performance passing through building glazing according to sky conditions, orientation of windows and each space of Apartment buildings. The clear sky includes sunshine and is intense and brighter at the horizon than at the zenith, except in the area around the sun. Daylight received within a building is directly dependent upon the sun's position and the atmospheric conditions. Orientation of the building generally used to refer to solar orientation which is the siting of building with respect to solar access. Although any building will have different orientations for its different sides, the orientation can refer to a particular room, or to the most important facade of the building. north-facing windows receive twice the winter sun than east and west facing windows, allowing light and warmth into the home. They can be easily shaded from the high summer sun to help keep the house cool. Ideally, the glazing area should be between 10-25% of the floor area of the room. This paper was calculated by a Desktop Radiance program. The space dimensions were based on a unit module of real constructed apartment having divided into five sections such as living room, room1, room2, room3 and kitchen.

본 연구는 기상청에서 운용 중인 영국 the United Kingdom Earth System Model (UKESM)을 리눅스 클러스터에 설치하여 과거 28년 기간에 대해 적분을 수행하고, 추가적인 수치 실험을 수행하여 얻은 결과와 비교한다. 설치한 UKESM은 저해상도 버전이지만, 대류권 대기 화학-에어로졸 과정과 성층권 오존 화학 과정을 동시에 모의하는 United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol (UKCA) 모듈을 포함하고 있는 최신 버전이다. 본 연구에 사용된 UKCA가 포함된 UKESM (UKESM-UKCA)은 전체 대기에서의 화학, 에어로졸, 구름, 복사 과정이 연동된 모델이다. CMIP5 기존 배출량 자료를 사용하는 UKESM 기준 적분 수치 모의와 함께, 동아시아 지역 이산화황(SO₂) 배출이 기상장에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 CMIP5 SO2 배출량 대신 최신의 REAS 배출자료로 교체한 실험 적분 수치 모의를 수행하였다. 두 수치 모의의 기간은 모두 1982년 1월 1일부터 2009년 12월 31일까지 총 28년이며, 모델 결과는 동아시아 지역 에어로졸 광학 두께, 2-m 온도, 강수 강도의 시간 평균값과 시간 변화 경향의 공간 분포를 분석하고 관측자료와 비교하였다. 모델에서 얻어진 온도와 강수 강도의 공간 분포 패턴은 관측자료와 전반적으로 유사하였다. 또한 UKESM에서 모의된 오존 농도와 오존전량의 공간 분포도 위성 관측 자료와 분포 패턴이 일치하였다. 두 UKESM 실험 적분 모의 결과로 얻어진 온도와 강수 강도의 선형 변화 경향의 비교를 통해, 동아시아 지역 SO2 지면 배출은 서태평양과 중국 북부지역에 대한 온도와 강수량의 변화 경향에 중요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 슈퍼컴퓨터에서만 운용되던 UKESM이 리눅스 클러스터 컴퓨팅 환경에도 설치되어 운용이 가능하다는 점을 제시한다. 대기 환경 및 탄소순환을 연구하는 다양한 분야의 연구자들에게도 대기-해양-지면-해빙이 상호작용하는 UKESM와 같은 지구시스템모델이 활용될 가능성과 접근성이 높아졌다.

The cluster analysis of diurnal precipitation patterns is performed by using daily precipitation of 59 stations in South Korea from 1973 to 1996 in four seasons of each year. Four seasons are shifted forward by 15 days compared to the general ones. Number of clusters are 15 in winter, 16 in spring and autumn, and 26 in summer, respectively. One of the classes is the totally dry day in each season, indicating that precipitation is never observed at any station. This is treated separately in this study. Distribution of the days among the clusters is rather uneven with rather low area-mean precipitation occurring most frequently. These 4 (seasons)$\times$2 (wet and dry days) classes represent more than the half (59 %) of all days of the year. On the other hand, even the smallest seasonal clusters show at least $5\sim9$ members in the 24 years (1973-1996) period of classification. The cluster analysis is directly performed for the major $5\sim8$ non-correlated coefficients of the diurnal precipitation patterns obtained by factor analysis In order to consider the spatial correlation. More specifically, hierarchical clustering based on Euclidean distance and Ward's method of agglomeration is applied. The relative variance explained by the clustering is as high as average (63%) with better capability in spring (66%) and winter (69 %), but lower than average in autumn (60%) and summer (59%). Through applying weighted relative variances, i.e. dividing the squared deviations by the cluster averages, we obtain even better values, i.e 78 % in average, compared to the same index without clustering. This means that the highest variance remains in the clusters with more precipitation. Besides all statistics necessary for the validation of the final classification, 4 cluster centers are mapped for each season to illustrate the range of typical extremities, paired according to their area mean precipitation or negative pattern correlation. Possible alternatives of the performed classification and reasons for their rejection are also discussed with inclusion of a wide spectrum of recommended applications.

본 연구에서는 이항로짓모형 기반의 시장분할을 고려한 전기차 선택모형을 추정하여 전기차 잠재 수요층의 전기차 구매행태를 분석하였다. 모형 구축을 위하여 서울시에 거주하는 차량운전자를 대상으로 전기차 구매가격, 공용 충전인프라 구축 수준, 1회 충전 주행가능거리 등의 가상 시나리오에 대하여 전기차 선택여부를 조사하였다. 차급별로 구분하면 경 소형 차급 보유자는 차량 구매가격이 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 중 대형 차급 보유자는 공용 충전인프라 구축 수준을 중요시하는 것으로 나타났다. 주택유형으로 분할한 경우 공동주택 거주자는 전기차 선택 시 공용 충전인프라 구축 수준을 가장 크게 고려하지만, 단독주택 거주자는 차량 구매가격에 가장 민감한 것으로 분석되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 자동차 제작사의 전기차 보급 전략이 전략적 구매층을 어디로 설정하느냐에 따라 달라져야 함을 보여주며, 정부의 전기차 보급정책으로는 공용 충전인프라의 확대가 가장 우선적으로 추진되어야 할 필요가 있다.

We measured grain size, organic matter, and metallic elements (Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As) in intertidal sediments collected from six islands in the western part of Jellanam Province in order to evaluate heavy metal contamination in the tidal flat sediments of coastal islands. The evaluation of metal contamination was carried out using geochemical assessment techniques such as sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), enrichment factor (EF), and geoaccumulation index ($I_{geo}$). Surface sediments were classified into four sedimentary facies: sand, gravelly muddy sand, slightly gravelly mud, and silt. The concentrations of heavy metals in intertidal sediments from Jaeun, Amtae, Biguem, and Docho islands showed good positive correlations with mean grain size and ignition loss, indicating that the concentrations of metallic elements in these sediments were dependent on grain size and the organic matter content. The concentrations of heavy metals in sediments from almost all of the stations were lower than two criterion values proposed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. Based on the EF and $I_{geo}$ results, surface sediments were a little polluted for Cr and were moderately polluted for As. Our results suggest that more intensive studies are necessary in the future in order to determine the major source of As in intertidal sediment and to evaluate the As pollution level in macrobenthos.

The potential sources and spatial distribution of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the leaf plants of Al-Zubair city. A total of 14 samples of conocarpus lancifolius plant leaf were collected and analyzed for their heavy metals and PAHs content using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and a 7890 Agilent capillary gas chromatograph (GC) respectively. Bioaccumulation factor calculation revealed the highest pollution of heavy metals , due to the activity of a petrochemical in the area. The diagnostic ratio of Ant/(Phe+Ant), BaA/BaA+Chr), In/(In+BghiP), Flu/Pyr, FlA/FlA+Pyr), FlA/FlA+Pyr), ∑LMW/∑HMW are commonly used for determining the origin and source of PAHs in various environmental media. The diagnostic ratio indicated the anthropogenic origin. PAHs with five-to-six membered rings were dominant in the plant leaf, which likely results from anthropogenic activities. The leaves of C. lancifolius have a preponderance of high molecular weight PAHs compared to low molecular weight PAHs, indicating a combustion origin (car exhaust, petroleum emissions, and fossil fuel). C. lancifolius leaves are a reliable indication of atmospheric PAHs absorption. The background level of heavy metals in the city (or the near environment) is in the order of Fe > Cu > Ni > Cr. On the other hand, the bioaccumulation in plant leaves showed greater tendencies as follows: Co>Cd>Zn=As>Cu>Mn>Ni>Pb>Cr>Fe. Cobalt showed high bioaccumulation, indicating strong uptake of Co by plant leaves. These findings point to human activity and car emissions as the primary sources of roadside vegetation pollution in Al-Zubair city.

This study investigated the association between $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations obtained with portable real-time monitors and those obtained with gravimetric methods in national urban air-quality monitoring sites in Seoul, South Korea. We used the SidePak AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor (TSI Inc., 500 Cardigan Road Shoreview, MN) and DustTrak DRX 8533 (TSI Inc., 500 Cardigan Road Shoreview, MN) as portable real-time monitors for measuring $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations and compared these values with those measured with the PMS-103 or SEQ 47/50 models operated by Federal Reference Method (FRM) or the European Committee for Standardization(ECS), respectively, in national urban air-quality monitoring sites in Seoul. Measurements were conducted every other day in the winter and spring seasons of 2014. The estimated daily mean concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ ranged between 13.4 and $161.9{\mu}g/m^3$ using AM 510 and between 22.0 and $156.0{\mu}g/m^3$ using DustTrak. The Spearman correlation coefficient for $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations between AM 510 and gravimetric results was 0.99, and the correlation between DustTrak and gravimetric results was 0.87. The correction factor suggested was 0.42 and 0.29 for AM 510 and DustTrak, respectively. We found that $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations measured with real-time monitors could overestimate true $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations and therefore the application of a correction factor (0.43) is strongly suggested for quantification when Real-time monitors were operated of $PM_{2.5}$ levels at urban atmospheric environment of South Korea.
