This paper reviews various bulk-type cloud microphysics parameterizations (BCMPs). BCMP, predicting the moments of size distribution of hydrometeors, parameterizes the grid-resolved cloud and precipitation processes in atmospheric models. The generalized gamma distribution is mainly applied to represent the hydrometeors size distribution in BCMPs. BCMP can be divided in three different methods such as single-moment, double-moment, and triple-moment approaches depending on the number of prognostic variables. Single-moment approach only predicts the hydrometeors mixing ratio. Double-moment approach predicts not only the hydrometeors mixing ratio but also the hydrometeors number concentration. Triple-moment approach predicts the dispersion parameter of hydrometeors size distribution through the prognostic reflectivity, together with the number concentrations and mixing ratios of hydrometeors. Triple-moment approach is the most time expensive method because it has the most number of prognostic variables. However, this approach can allow more flexibility in representing hydrometeors size distribution relative to single-moment and double-moment approaches. At the early stage of the development of BMCPs, warm rain processes were only included. Ice-phase categories such as cloud ice, snow, graupel, and hail were included in BCMPs with prescribed properties for densities and sedimentation velocities of ice-phase hydrometeors since 1980s. Recently, to avoid fixed properties for ice-phase hydrometeors and ad-hoc category conversion, the new approach was proposed in which rimed ice and deposition ice mixing ratios are predicted with total ice number concentration and volume.

The infrared and microwave satellite observations have been used to derive the information of hydrometeors (i.e., cloud and precipitation) and atmospheric temperature. The observations were made by the Nimbus-4 Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) in 1970, and by the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) during the period 1980-99, which had channel 1~4 (Chl~4). The IRIS, which has a field of view of ~100 km, has been utilized to examine the cirrus and marine stratus clouds. The cirrus and stratus distributions were obtained, respectively, based on the spectral difference in the infrared window region, and the absorption of water vapor and $CO_2$ in the spectral region $870-980cm^{-1}$. The MSU Ch1 data has been used for low tropospheric temperature and hydrometeors, while the Ch2, Ch3 and Ch4, respectively, for the thermal state of midtroposphere, tropopause, and lower stratosphere. The climatic aspects of El Ni$\tilde{n}$o, Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and temperature trends over the globe are discussed with the MSU data. This study suggests that the IRIS and MSU data are useful for monitoring the hydrometeors and atmospheric thermal state in climate system.

Accurately predicting localized heavy rainfall is challenging without high-resolution mesoscale cloud information in the numerical model's initial field, as precipitation intensity and amount vary significantly across regions. In the Korean Peninsula, the radar observation network covers the entire country, providing high-resolution data on hydrometeors which is suitable for data assimilation (DA). During the pre-processing stage, radar reflectivity is classified into hydrometeors (e.g., rain, snow, graupel) using the background temperature field. The mixing ratio of each hydrometeor is converted and inputted into a numerical model. Moreover, assimilating saturated water vapor mixing ratio and decomposing radar radial velocity into a three-dimensional wind vector improves the atmospheric dynamic field. This study presents radar DA experiments using a numerical prediction model to enhance the wind, water vapor, and hydrometeor mixing ratio information. The impact of radar DA on precipitation prediction is analyzed separately for each radar component. Assimilating radial velocity improves the dynamic field, while assimilating hydrometeor mixing ratio reduces the spin-up period in cloud microphysical processes, simulating initial precipitation growth. Assimilating water vapor mixing ratio further captures a moist atmospheric environment, maintaining continuous growth of hydrometeors, resulting in concentrated heavy rainfall. Overall, the radar DA experiment showed a 32.78% improvement in precipitation forecast accuracy compared to experiments without DA across four cases. Further research in related fields is necessary to improve predictions of mesoscale heavy rainfall in South Korea, mitigating its impact on human life and property.

Over the North East Asia, extreme anomalous precipitation were observed in 2013 and 2014. During 2013 summer the precipitation was found to be higher (two standard deviation) than the climatological mean of the region; whereas during 2014, which was a borderline El Ni?o year, precipitation was found to be lower (one standard deviation). To understand the differences of these two anomalous years the Global/Regional Integrated Model system (GRIMs) has been used. The study found that low landsurface temperature and high sea-surface temperature over ocean caused a smaller land-sea contrast of surface temperature between East Asia and North West Pacific Ocean in 2014, which could have caused an eastward shift of mean monsoon circulation in that year compared to the circulation in 2013. Due to a change in the lower level circulation and wind field over East Asia the evaporation and moisture transport patterns became very different in those two years. In 2013, this study found high latent heat flux over Eastern China, which implies an increased surface evaporation over that region, and the moisture transported to the north by the mean monsoon circulation; whereas, there was no correlated transport of moisture to the North East Asia during 2014. The precipitable water over North East Asia has a stronger correlation with the latent heat flux over southern land region than that from Ocean region in the eastern side in both the years. A new approach is proposed to estimate the sub-grid scale hydrometeors from GRIMs, overestimated in the existing model.

하부 대류권의 대기물현상과 마이크로파 표면 방출율를 전구적으로 조사하기 위하여 1981-93년 기간의 MSU 채널1 밝기온도와 대기대순환 모델(GCM) 재분석 월평균 자료를 사용하였다. 모델재분석 채널1 자료의 평균값이 MSU 채널1 가중함수를 기초로 하여 세 종류의 모델(NCEP ECMWF, GEOS) 재분석에서 온도장을 이용하여 재구성되었다. 모델재분석 채널1 온도는 하부 대류권의 열적 상태를 주로 반영하기 때문에, 해양과 육지에서 계절에 관계없이 각 반구 여름철에 최대값을 나타내었다. MSU 채널1 밝기온도는 해양에서 대기물현상으로 인해 열대 및 남태평양 수렴대들 에서 극대값을 보였다. 또한 이 밝기온도는 빙하/눈 방출율 효과로 인하여 고위도 해양에서 증가하는 반면에, 고위도육지에서는 감소하였다. 열대 및 남태평양 수렴대들의 계절적 이동은 GCM과 MSU 사이의 채널1 온도 차의 분포에서 체계적으로 나타났다. 이러한 온도차의 극소값 위치에서 추정할 때, 열대 수렴대는 가을에 9N까지 북상하였고, 남태평양 수렴대는 북반구 가을과 겨울에 12S까지 남하하였다. 고위도 경우에는 해빙이 각 반구의 겨울에 북반구에서 53N까지 남하하고, 남반구에서는 58S까지 북상하였다 복사전달 결과를 이용하여 MSU 채널1 밝기온도에 대한 대기물현상과 표면 방출율의 부분적인 기여도를 분리하여 조사하였다. ITCZ지역에서 4-6K의 밝기온도 상승은 1-1.5mm/day의 대기물현상 증가에, 그리고 고위도 해양에서의 10-30K의 상승은 0.6-0.9값의 해빙 방출율의 기여에 해당하였다.

Theoretical models of radiative transfer are developed to simulate the 85 GHz brightness temperature (T85) observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) radiometer as a function of rain rate. These simulations are performed separately over regions of the convective and stratiform rain. TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) observations are utilized to construct vertical profiles of hydrometeors in the regions. For a given rain rate, the extinction in 85 GHz due to hydrometeors above the freezing level is found to be relatively weak in the convective regions compared to that in the stratiform. The hydrometeor profile above the freezing level responsible for the weak extinction in convective regions is inferred from theoretical considerations to contain two layers: 1) a mixed (or mixed-phase) layer of 2 km thickness with mixed-phase particles, liquid drops and graupel above the freezing level, and 2) a layer of graupel extending from the top of the mixed layer to the cloud top. Strong extinction in the stratiform regions is inferred to result from slowly-falling, low-density ice aggregates (snow) above the freezing level. These theoretical results are consistent with the T85 measured by TMI, and with the rain rate deduced from PR for the convective and stratiform rain regions. On the basis of this study, the accuracy of the rain rate sensed by TMI is inferred to depend critically on the specification of the convective or stratiform nature of the rain.

A one dimensional time dependent acid rain model considering size distribution of aerosols and hydrometeors is developed to predict observed chemical and physical properties of precipitation. Temporal variations of anions and cations observed are predicted fairly well with acid rain model simulations. It is found that aerosol depletion rates are highly dependent on aerosol sizes under the assumption of Marshall - Palmer raindrop size distribution. Also, the aerosol depletion during the initial rain event largely influences on ion concentrations in rainwaters.

The objective of this study is to evaluate and improve the capability of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in simulating fog and visibility in local airports over Korea. The WRF model system is statistically evaluated for the 48-fog cases over Korea from 2003 to 2006. Based on the 4-yr evaluations, attempts are made to improve the simulation skill of fog and visibility over Korea by revising the statistical coefficients in the visibility algorithms of the WRF model. A comparison of four existing visibility algorithms in the WRF model shows that uncertainties in the visibility algorithms include additional degree of freedom in accuracy of numerical fog forecasts over Korea. A revised statistical algorithm using a linear-regression between the observed visibility and simulated hydrometeors and humidity near the surface exhibits overall improvement in the visibility forecasts.

A one dimensional cumulus cloud model has been developed to investigate the size distribution of hydrometeors at different heights and at different stages of cloud development. The model results show that the exponential distribution of droplet radius that was employed by many investigators can misinterpret the cloud dynamic fields during the life cycle of cumulus cloud. The results also show the bimodal distribution of cloud water mixing ratios at 25 $\mu$m and 645 $\mu$m in radius at 45 minutes of simulation time. The developed model can be applied in future on the parameterization of cloud microphysical processes and air pollution models.

중간 및 하부 대류권의 열적 상태에 대한 관측 및 모델 결과들의 상태적인 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 세 종류의 위성관측 MSU 채널2 밝기온도 자료들과 ECMWF 모델의 재분석 (1980-93년) 자료를 상호 비교하였다. 중간 대류권 온도를 반영하는 위성관측 자료는 직하점에서의 MSU2 (1980-98년)와 여러 주사각으로부터 유도된 SC2 (1980-97년)이고, 하부 대류권 온도를 반영하는 자료는 SC2R (1980-97년)이다. 여기서 MSU2는 본 연구에서, 그리고 SC2와 SC2R은 Spencer and Christy (1992a, 1992b)에서 유도되었다. 위의 네 종류 자료간의 상관은 중 ${\cdot}$ 고위도에서 높았으나 (r${\ge}$0.90), 저위도 그리고 대류가 활발한 열대 지역에서 낮았다 Hydrometeors (구름과 강수) 및 지표방출의 영향으로 잡음을 포함하는 SC2R에 대한 다른 자료의 상관이 특히 낮았다 (r${\sim}$0.65). 또한 모델 재분석에 대한 위성자료의 상관은 MSU2보다 강수 효과가 일부 제거된 SC2에서 높았다. 세 종류의 MSU 기후값의 아노말리 비교에서 지표에 민감한 SC2R의 북반구 온도는 MSU2나 SC2에 비해 현저하게 1월에 하강하였고 7월에 상승하였다. 관측 및 모델 온도들에 대한 경험직교함수 분석에서 월평균값 모드1은 열대 태평양을 제외하고 연주기를 보였다. 전체 태평양에 대한 MSU2 모드1은 Walker 순환에 의한 동 ${\cdot}$ 서 쌍극자 형태를 보인 반면, 다른 위성관측과 모델 자료에서는 이러한 형태가 약하였다. 관측과 모델은 열대 태평양에 대한 아노말리값의 모드1, 2에서 엘니뇨와 라니냐에 의한 경년변동을 뚜렷하게 보였다. 적도 서태평양 용승 지역에서의 관측과 모델 결과 사이의 불일치는 모델에서 대기-해양 상호작용이 보완되어야 함을 제시한다.성관측 자료가 기후변동에서의 피이드백 작용을 이해하는데에 유용하게 사용될수 있음을 본 연구는 제시한다.EX>$^{\circ}$C, 0.16${\sim}$0.62의 X$_{CO}\;_{2}$, 5${\sim}$14mole% CH$_{4}$, 0.06${\sim}$0.31mole% N$_{2}$, 0.4${\sim}$4.9wt.% NaCl의 염농도. 설화 금광산의 온도-조성 자료는 설화 함금열수계가 화강암질 용융체와 인접한 부분에 정치되어 있었음을 지시한다. 이러한 화강암질 용융체는 CH$_{4}$ 형성을 촉진시켜 유체를 환원상태로 변환시킨 것으로 추정된다. 철황화물중 자류철석이 지배적으로 산출됨은 환원유체 상태를 지시하고 있다. 황화광물의 ${\delta}\;^{34}$S값(-0.6 ${\sim}$ 1.4$%_o$)은 황의 심부 화성기원을 지시하고 있다.위해서는 각 행정부서별로 사용하는 행정자료들을 연계${cdot}$통합할 수 있도록 국가사회전반에 걸쳐 행정 체제가 갖추어져야 하기 때문이다. 특히 모든 국민 개개인에 관한 기본정보, 개인들이 거주하며 생활하는 단위인 개별 주거단위에 관한 정보가 행정부에 등록되어 있고, 잘 정비되어 있어야 하며, 정보의 형태 또한 서로 연계가 가능하도록 표준화되어있어야 한다. 이와 더불어, 현재 인구센서스에서 표본조사를 통해 부가적으로 생산하는 경제활동통계를 생산하기 위해서는 개인이 속한 사업체를 파악할 수 있도록 모든 사업체가 등록되어 있고, 개인의 경제활동과 관련된 각종 정보들이 사업체에 잘 기록 및 정비되어 있어야 한다. 따라서 행정자료 기반의 인구센서스통계생산은 단지 국가의 통계뿐만 아니라 행정조직과 행정체계를 정비하고, 개인과 사업체의
