Passive radiative cooling is a promising technology for cooling objects without energy input. Passive radiative cooling works by radiating heat from the surface, which then passes through the atmosphere and into space. Achieving efficient passive radiative cooling is mainly accomplished by using materials with high emissivity in the atmospheric window (8-13 ㎛). Research has shown that polymers tend to exhibit high emissivity in this spectral range. In addition to elastomers, other materials with potential for passive radiative cooling include metal oxides, carbon-based materials, and polymers. The structure of a passive radiative cooling device can affect its cooling performance. For example, a device with a large surface area will have a greater amount of surface area exposed to the sky, which increases the amount of thermal radiation emitted. Passive radiative cooling has a wide range of potential applications, including building cooling, electronics cooling, healthcare, and transportation. Current research has focused on improving the efficiency of passive radiative cooling materials and devices. With further development, passive radiative cooling can significantly affect a wide range of sectors.

본 연구에서는 NOAA AVHRR 밝기온도 자료로부터 해수면 온도(SST) 산출에 황사 에어로솔은 미치는 영향을 복사전달 모델을 사용하여 분석하고, SST 복원 알고리즘을 개선하였다. 봄철의 황사에 의한 AVHRR 밝기온도 변화를 모의하기 위한 복사전달 모델의 입력 자료로서 지상 태양광 관측 자료로부터 분석한 황사 에어로솔 광학적 특성 (에어로솔 광학적 두께 및 크기분포)과 라디오 존데 연직분포 자료(기압, 기온, 및 습도)를 이용하였다. 황사 에어로솔은 적외선 복사대에서 흡수에 비해 산란이 매우 큼을 보였으며, 이러한 특징은 지표면에서 방출되는 상향복사량을 산란시켜 대기상부에서 관측되는 밝기 온도를 감소시키는 경향과 관련이 있다. 광학적 두께가 1인 황사의 경우 직하점에서 약 2 K, 위성 천정각이 $50^{\circ}$인 경우에는 약 4 K의 감쇄를 유발하였다. 황사 존재시 AVHRR 적의채널 11, $12{\mu}m$의 밝기온도 차 역시 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있지만 그 값은 미미하였다. 기존 SST 복원 알고리즘은 황사발생시 SST를 실제 값보다도 낮게 산출함을 보였으며, 이를 보정하기 위해 에어로솔 광학적 두께, $11{\mu}m$에서의 밝기온도, 그리고 위성 천정각을 추가하여 알고리즘을 개선하였다. 개선된 SST 복원 알고리즘은 황사의 두께가 1인 경우 2.7 K정도의 오차를 개선하였다.

Transverse velocity vectors can be determined from a pair of images successively taken with a time interval using an optical flow technique. We have tested the performance of the new technique called NAVE (non-linear affine velocity estimator) recently implemented by Chae & Sakurai using real image data taken by the Narrowband Filter Imager (NFI) of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard the Hinode satellite. We have developed two methods of estimating the errors in the determination of velocity vectors, one resulting from the non-linear fitting ${\sigma}_{\upsilon}$ and the other ${\epsilon}_u$ resulting from the statistics of the determined velocity vectors. The real error is expected to be somewhere between ${\sigma}_{\upsilon}$ and ${\epsilon}_u$. We have investigated the dependence of the determined velocity vectors and their errors on the different parameters such as the critical speed for the subsonic filtering, the width of the localizing window, the time interval between two successive images, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the feature. With the choice of $v_{crit}$ = 2 pixel/step for the subsonic filtering, and the window FWHM of 16 pixels, and the time interval of one step (2 minutes), we find that the errors of velocity vectors determined using the NAVE range from around 0.04 pixel/step in high signal-to-noise ratio features (S/N $\sim$ 10), to 0.1 pixel/step in low signa-to-noise ratio features (S/N $\sim$ 3) with the mean of about 0.06 pixel/step where 1 pixel/step corresponds roughly to 1 km/s in our case.

한국해양연구원에서 수신한 자료인 NOAA 12, 16, 17, 18호등의 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer(AVHRR) 센서자료와 국립조사원에서 제공하는 해양실측자료인 정선 관측 자료를 이용하여 두 가지의 알고리즘 적용을 통하여 비교 및 분석을 해보고자 한다. 연구 기간은 2006년 1월부터 4월 자료 중 구름의 영향이 없는 영상에서 실측자료와 동일한 날짜 총 107개의 정점 값을 추출하였다. 위성 자료에서 해수면 온도 추출방법은 split window 방법으로, 고정계수 값을 사용하는 linear algorithm(MCSST), nonlinear algorithm(NLMCSST)을 이용하였다. 연구 지역은 동해, 황해, 남해 지역에 대한 지역별로 두 알고리즘을 비교 적용하였다. 전 해역의 값을 이용하여 위성자료와 실측자료를 비교 분석한 결과 linear algorithm방법의 평균 오차 값은 0.71$^{\circ}C$이고 상관도는 1%이고, nonlinear 방법의 오차 값은 0.35$^{\circ}C$ 상관도는 1%로 나타났다. 해역별로는 linear한 알고리즘을 적용하여 동해는(ES)는 R=1, 오차 값은 0.37$^{\circ}C$ 황해(YS)는 R=0.99 오차 값은 0.125$^{\circ}C$ 남해(SS)는 R=0.99 오차 값은 1.2$^{\circ}C$보였다. nonlinear한 알고리즘을 적용하여 동해는(ES)는 R=1, 오차 값은 0.4$^{\circ}C$ 황해(YS)는 R=0.99 오차 값은 0.13$^{\circ}C$ 남해(SS)는 R=0.99 오차 값은 0.82$^{\circ}C$의 결과를 보여 주었다. 동해와 황해지역은 linear한 알고리즘을 적용한 결과가 실측자료와의 오차 값이 작았고, 남해지역은 linear한 알고리즘을 적용한 결과보다 nonlinear 알고리즘을 적용한 것이 작은 오차 값을 보여주었다. 이는 남해 해역의 자료가 대기의 상태나 다른 영향을 받아 해수면온도 값이 추정된 것으로 보여 진다. 해역별로 최적화된 알고리즘을 적용하여 해수면온도의 산출을 통해서 위성자료의 정밀도 지구환경변화 모니터링 등 많은 연구에 위성자료의 활용이 증대될 것으로 기대한다.

The mist on the inside of an automobile windshield is not only uncomfortable but also very dangerous because it obstructs the driver's vision. However, the removal process of the mist has never been studied in detail. This study performed experiments analyzing the mechanism causes the mist in a car and investigated the appropriate removal process. The experiments were performed on two rainy days, 10 April 2006 and 26 May 2006, with temperature and relative humidity sensors of testo-175-H2 and DICKSON-TK500. We found a passenger increased water vapor by 0.2 g $min^{-1}$ through respiration and thereby relative humidity (RH) from 55% to 67% in 8 minutes. Even though RH was not saturated, misting occurred because the humid air contacted the colder surface of the window. To remove the mist, it is necessary to increase the temperature or inflow drier air in the car. Therefore, we expected that the heater would be more effective than air conditioner for this matter. However, the outcome was the other way around due to the structure of the heating and cooling system in the car. When the air-conditioner was on, colder and drier air was generated and flowed through the so-called evaporator. Droplets were produced in the evaporator due to cooling procedure. When the heater was on, the warm air evaporated the droplets and increased the water content in the air resulting in an increase of relative humidity. Consequently, the air conditioner is more effective than the heater to remove the mist.

We investigated the change of symptoms and preventive behaviors before and after the Asian Dust events among indoor workers (teachers) and outdoor workers (taxi drivers and bus drivers). On February 2004, we recruited 195 taxi drivers, 135 bus drivers and 93 school teachers. Symptoms and behaviors related the Asian Dust events during 1 week were questioned by self administrated questionnaires. We surveyed pre-event and post-event. The symptom were not changed in bus drivers during the events. In taxi drivers and teachers,'Bad or smoky smell on the air' and 'eye congestion' symptoms were increased during the events. The preventive behaviors were decreased or not changed in taxi drivers and bus drivers. In teachers,'close the window','diminishing the outdoor activities', 'diminishing the going out', 'wearing the sunglasses', 'washing the eyes after going out'. This results suggest that the outdoor worker's guideline during the Asian dust eventsneeds to be developed.

Window is a critical component in the design of energy-efficient buildings. To minimize the heat loss, insulation performance of the glazing has to be improved. Manufacturing of vacuum glazing has been motivated by the possibility of making windows of very good thermal insulation properties for such applications. It is made by maintaining vacuum in the gap between two glass panes. Pillars are placed between them to withstand the atmospheric pressure. Edge covers are applied to reduce conduction through the edge. Accurate measurements have been made of the radiative heat transfer, the pillar conduction and the gas conduction using a guarded hot plate apparatus. Vacuum glazing is found to have low thermal conductance roughly below $1W/m^2K$. Among the heat transfer modes of residual gas conduction, conduction through support pillar and the radiative heat transfer between the glass panes, the last one is the most dominant to the overall thermal conductance. Vacuum glazing using very low emittance AI-coated glass has an overall thermal conductance of about $0.7W/m^2K$.

In helioseismology it is normally assumed that p-mode oscillations are excited in a statistically independent fashion. Unfortunately, however, this issue is not clearly settled down in that two experiments exist, which apparently look in discrepancy. That is, Appourchaux et al. (2000) looked at bin-to-bin correlation and found no evidence that the assumption is invalid. On the other hand, Roth (2001) reported that p-mode pairs with nearby frequencies tend to be anti-correlated, possibly by a mode-coupling effect. This work is motivated by an idea that one may test if there exists an excess of anticorrelated power variations of pairs of solar p-modes. We have analyzed a 72-day MDI spherical-harmonic time series to examine temporal variations of p-mode power and their correlation. The power variation is computed by a running-window method after the previous study by Roth (2001), and then distribution function of power correlation between mode pairs is produced. We have confirmed Roth's result that there is an excess of anti-correlated p-mode pairs with nearby frequencies. On the other hand, the amount of excess was somewhat smaller than the previous study. Moreover, the distribution function does not exhibit significant change when we paired modes with non-nearby frequencies, implying that the excess is not due to mode coupling. We conclude that the origin of this excess of anticorrelations may not be a solar physical process, by pointing out the possibility of statistical bias playing the central role in producing the excess.

We present near-infrared (NIR) spectra of 6 young stellar objects (YSOs) around the supernova remnant G54.1+0.3 obtained with TripleSpec, a slit-based NIR cross-dispersion echelle spectrograph on th 5-m Palomar Hale telescope covering the entire NIR atmospheric window of 1-2.4 micron. These YSOs, whose formation was possibly triggered by the progenitor of G54.1+0.3, show significant mid-infrared (MIR) excess and have been proposed to be late O- and early B-type YSOs based on their spectral energy distribution. Our TripleSpec observations reveal the existence of strong H and He I lines, consistent with the previous interpretation of their spectral types, while the absence of Br-gamma emission line indicates that the YSOs do not have a nearby circumstellar disk. We discuss the relation between these YSOs and G54.1+0.3 based on the TripleSpec data and previous photometric data as well.
