Radiometers in UV and visible wavelengths were onboard the Korean Sounding Rocket(KSR)-1 and 2 which were launched on June 4th and September 1st, 1993. These radiometers were designed to capture the solar radiation during the ascending period of the rocket flight. The purpose of the instrument was to measure the vertical profiles of stratospheric ozone densities. Since the instrument measured the solar radiation from the ground to its apogee, it is possible to investigate the altitude variation of the measured intensity and to estimate the effect of atmospheric scattering by comparing the UV and visible intensity. The visible channel was a reference because the 450-nm wavelength is in the atmospheric window region, where the solar radiation is transmitted through the atmosphere without being absorbed by other atmospheric gases. The use of 450-nm channel intensity as a reference should be limited to the altitude ranges above the certain altitudes, say 20 to 25km where the signals are not perturbed by atmospheric scattering effects.

Terra/Aqua MODIS의 적외관측 자료를 이용하여 동아시아 지역에서 물리적 방법과 split-window 방법으로 총가강수량을 산출하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 물리적 방법에서는 동아시아 지역에 대한 분석 예측 자료를 생산하는 RDAPS 자료를 알고리즘의 초기 추정치로 사용하였다. 이 과정에서 복사전달계산을 위해 빠르고 정확도가 높은 RTTOV-7 모델을 이용하였다. Split-window를 이용한 총가강수량 산출에서는 동아시아 지역의 라디오존데 관측자료를 훈련자료로 사용하여 밝기온도를 계산하였고, 이로부터 관측된 밝기온도로부터 총가강수량을 산출할 수 있는 회귀식을 도출하였다. 위의 두 알고리즘을 2004년 8월과 12월의 MODIS 적외 자료에 적용하여 산출한 결과를 해양에서는 DMSP SSM/I 결과와 육지에서는 라디오존데 관측 결과와 비교하여 검증하였고, 이를 바탕으로 총가강수량의 정확성에 영향을 미치는 요인과 산출과정에 중요한 물리과정을 분석하였다. 비교결과 RDAPS, MODIS, split-window 방법에 비해 물리적 방법을 이용한 총가강수량의 산출 정확성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 물리적 방법은 초기 추정치에 따라 산출결과가 상이하게 나타나는 단점을 가지고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서 TIGR 자료와 같은 기후 평균값을 초기치로 적용함에 있어 주의가 요구된다. 이러한 원인으로 지표 부근의 수증기에 대한 정보 부족 등을 들 수 있다. 이러한 단점에도 불구하고 지표와 지형의 변화가 큰 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 지역에서는 물리적 방법에 의한 총가강수량 산출의 효율성이 큰 것으로 사료된다.

Land surface Temperature (LST) is a very useful surface parameter for the wide range of applications, such as agriculture, numerical and climate modelling community. Whereas operational observation of LST is far from the needs of application community in the spatial Itemporal resolution and accuracy. So, we developed split-window type LST retrieval algorithm to estimate the LST from MTSAT-IR data. The coefficients of split-window algorithm were obtained by means of a statistical regression analysis from the radiative transfer simulations using MODTRAN 4 for wide range of atmospheric profiles, satellite zenith angle and lapse rate conditions including the surface inversions. The sensitivity analysis showed that the LST algorithm reproduces the LST with a reasonable quality. However, the LST algorithm overestimates and underestimates for the strong surface inversion and superadiabatic conditions especially for the warm temperature, respectively. And the performance of LST algorithms is superior when satellite zenith angle is small. The accuracy of the retrieved LST has been evaluated with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST data. The validation results showed that the correlation coefficients and RMSE are about 0.83${\sim}$0.98 and 1.38${\sim}$4.06, respectively. And the quality of LST is significantly better during night and winter time than during day and summer. The validation results showed that the LST retrieval algorithm could be used for the operational retrieval of LST from MTSAT-IR and COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) data with some modifications.

Simulation study has been carried out to analyze the air flow supplying from the heat pump system inside the tollgate booth by using the Phoenix computer simulation program. Through this simulation analysis we can find the problem of present tollgate booth in terms of air flow and recommend an improved model also simulate this model. Final results as follows; It was turned out that the fresh air conditioning is not provided to the worker effectively due to the improper location of inlet and outlet in the present tollgate booth in addition to that the air curtain system applied in the booth lowered air circulation from outside. The improved model was suggested first to increase the air curtain effect by downsizing the window and by installation of the air curtain suction line to reduce the induced outdoor air second to supply the fresh air to the worker directly by relocation of the inlet and outlet of supplying air. With these improved modifications better results have been reached in terms of air flow inside the booth. Next through the air flow simulation of outside booth the contaminated outdoor air has been easuily infiltrating into the booth through the window because of its rectangle shape. Stream like shape of booth has been proposed through the computer simulation as an alternative shape of tollgate booth for a new design.

Daylight illuminance levels in a small space were calculated using the Superlite program under limited conditions of the turbidity and thickness of condensible water of atmosphere. Three sky conditions(clear sky with direct sun, clear sky with no direct sun, overcast sky with no direct sun) were used. The atmospheric conditions significantly impacted the illuminance levels under especially a clear sky with direct sun. The overcast sky with no direct sun provided no difference for the illuminance levels in the space. As the calculation points moved away from a window, reflected illuminance levels gradually increased but direct illuminance levels significantly decreased.

In this study. the amounts of the total precipitable water (TPW) in both global and regional scale are estimated from the MODIS instrument, which is on-board the EOS satellites, Terra and Aqua. The estimation is made from the five near-infrared spectral bands, using a technique employing ratios of water- vapor absorbing channels centered at 0.905, 0.936, 0.940 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with atmospheric window channels at 0.865 and 1.240 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Through analyses of monthly and eight-days mean TPW, one can monitor characteristics of seasonal variations as well as amount and distribution (i.e., water resources) of TPW at both global and local regions. Long-term monitoring of TPW is essential to understand the regional variations of water resources in East Asia.

To determine the effect of air pollution reduction policies, the long-term trend of air pollutants should be analyzed. Kolmogorov-Zurbenko (KZ) filter is a low-pass filter, produced through repeated iterations of a moving average to separate each variable into its temporal components. The moving average for a KZ(m, p) filter is calculated by a filter with window length m and p iterations. The output of the first pass subsequently becomes the input for the next pass. Adjusting the window length and the number of iterations makes it possible to control the filtering of different scales of motion. To break down the daily mean $PM_{10}$ into individual time components, we assume that the original time series comprises of a long-term trend, seasonal variation, and a short-term component. The short-term component is attributable to weather and short-term fluctuations in precursor emissions, while the seasonal component is a result of changes in the solar angle. The long-term trend results from changes in overall emissions, pollutant transport, climate, policy and/or economics. The long-term trend of the daily mean $PM_{10}$ decreased sharply from $59.6ug/m^3$ in 2002 to $44.6ug/m^3$ in 2015. This suggests that there was a long-term downward trend since 2005. The difference between the unadjusted and meteorologically adjusted long-term $PM_{10}$ is small. Therefore, we can conclude that $PM_{10}$ is unaffected by the meteorological variables (total insolation, daily mean temperature, daily mean relative humidity, daily mean wind speed, and daily mean local atmospheric pressure) in Busan.

본 연구에서는 대기 및 지표면 인자들에 대한 중적외 파장역의 복사휘도의 민감도를 복사전달모델인 MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission (MODTRAN)6을 이용하여 분석하고 이를 이용하여 야간에 중적외 파장역 만을 이용한 지표면온도 산출 가능성을 평가하였다. 이를 기반으로 야간에 대해 다양한 조건을 반영한 지표면온도 산출식을 개발하고 처방 온도 자료와 현장 관측 자료를 이용하여 개발된 지표면온도 산출식의 수준을 평가하였다. 중적외 파장역을 활용한 위성 원격탐사에 주로 영향을 미치는 대기연직구조, 이산화탄소와 오존, 지표면온도의 일 변동, 지표면 방출률 그리고 위성의 관측각에 대해 민감도 실험을 실시하였다. 이때 분리대기창 기법 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 중적외 파장역을 투과율을 근거로 2개의 밴드로 분리한 후 민감도를 분석한 결과 밴드와 관계없이 대기연직구조에 가장 큰 영향을 받으며 지표면 방출률, 지표면온도의 일 변동, 위성의 관측각 순으로 영향을 받았다. 주요 변인 실험 모두에서 대기의 창에 해당되는 밴드 1은 민감도가 낮은 반면 오존과 수증기 흡수가 포함된 밴드 2에서는 민감도가 높아서 분리대기창 기법을 활용하여 지표면온도 산출이 가능할 것으로 판단하였다. 중적외 2개 밴드와 다양한 변인들을 이용하여 개발된 지표면온도 산출식은 복사모의 시 입력된 기준 지표면온도와 상관계수, 편의 그리고 root mean squared error (RMSE)가 각각 0.999, 0.023K과 0.437K의 수준을 보였다. 또한 26개의 현장관측 지표면온도 자료로 검증한 결과 상관계수는 0.993, 편의는 1.875K, RMSE는 2.079K을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 대기 및 지표면 조건이 야간의 중적외 두 밴드에 미치는 영향이 다른 특성을 이용하여 지표면온도를 산출할 수 있음을 제시한다. 따라서 향후에는 중적외 파장역 센서를 탑재한 위성자료를 이용하여 지표면온도를 산출하고 그 수준을 평가해 볼 필요가 있다.

A monitoring system for atmospheric CFC-12 and CFC-11 has been established at Mt. Kwan-Ak, Seoul National University (SNU) since July, 1991. The concentrations showed quite a large variation ranging from 495 to 37600 pptv (pptv=part per trillion, 10$^{-12}$ , v/v) for CFC-12 and from 233 to 12100 pptv for CFC-11 due to many local sources. However, monthly medians show rather limited ranges ; 553~765 pptv for CFC-12 and 301~431 pptv for CFC-11. Furthermore minimum concentrations could be defined relatively well during the whole period of observation. The regional background concentrations in 1993 near SNU wer estimated as 533 pptv for CFC-12 and 293 pptv for CFC-11. These values are very comparable to global averages in Northern Hemisphere, 523 pptv for CFC-12 and 287 pptv for CFC-11, reflecting the fast atmospheric mixing processes within the hemisphere. Examinations with meteorological parameters such as wind speed and direction suggest the possible measurement-window at SNU, appropriate for regional monitoring. Studies for improving the monitoring capability of the SNU station such as automation of the analysis system along with correlation with other meteorological parameters, are in progress at the present time.

Two kinds of high resolution GCMs with the same spatial resolutions but with different schemes run by domestic and foreign agencies are used to clarify the usefulness and sensitivity of GCM for water resources applications for Korea. One is AMIP-II (Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project-II) type GCM simulation results done by ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and the other one is AMIP-I type GCM simulation results done by METRI (Korean Meteorological Research Institute). Observed mean areal precipitation, temperature, and discharge values on 7 major river basins were used for target variables. Monte Carlo simulation was used to establish the significance of the estimator values. Sensitivity analyses were done in accordance with the proposed ways. Through the various tests, discrimination condition is sensitive for the distribution of the data. Window size is sensitive for the data variation and the area of the basins. Discrimination abilities of each nodal value affects on the correct association. In addition to theses sensitivity analyses results, we also noticed some characteristics of each GCM. For Korean water resources, monthly and small window setting analyses are recommended using GCMs.
