이 연구의 목적은 관측주기가 짧은 천리안 위성의 수증기 영상자료를 활용하여 태풍의 전향위치와 시간까지 예측이 가능하도록 하는데 있다. 즉 수증기의 위성영상의 건조슬롯과 제트류의 남북진동의 관계를 이용하여 태풍진로의 전향위치를 보다 정확히 예측하는 것이다. 제트류는 제트스트리크의 위치와 지균풍 ${\upsilon}$성분의 크기에 따라 움직이는데, 지균풍 ${\upsilon}$ 성분이 남쪽방향으로 강화되면 제트류는 원형 제트로 발달하게 된다. 이때 수증기 영상에서는 건조슬롯이 남쪽으로 확대되고, 굴곡수분밴드(CMB) 거리가 좁혀지기 때문에 태풍이 전향하게 된다. 굴곡수분밴드가 위도 $15^{\circ}$ 이하이면 24시간 내에 태풍이 북 또는 북동으로 전향하게 된다. 결과적으로 태풍진로는 건조슬롯의 위치가 $32^{\circ}N$ 이하이면 $20-23^{\circ}N$이하에서 전향(2007년 1호 태풍 콩레이와 2012년 17호 태풍 즐라왓)하고, 건조슬롯이 $35^{\circ}N$ 이상 일 땐 $27^{\circ}$N에서 전향(2007년 4호 태풍 마니)하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Kinematic characteristics of a heavy rainfall event occurred in Changma front are analyzed using synoptic weather charts, satellite imagery and NCEP(National Centers for Environmental Prediction) / NCAR(National Centers for Atmospheric Research) reanalysis data. The heavy rainfall is accompanied with mesoscale rain clouds developing over the Southwest region of Korea during the period from 0300 LST to 2100 LST 25 June 2006. The surface cyclone in the Changma front is generated and developed rapidly when it meets following vertical conditions: The maximum value of relative vorticity is appeared at 700 hPa and is extended gradually near the surface. It is thought that the vertical structure of relative vorticity is closely related with the descent of strong wind zone exceeding $10ms^{-1}$. The jet core at 200 hPa is shifted southward and extended downward and the low-level jet stream associated with upper-level jet stream appeared at 850 hPa. Kinematic features of heavy rainfall system at cyclone-generating point are as follows: In the generating stage of cyclone, the relative vorticity below 850 hPa increased and the convergence below 850 hPa and the divergence at 400 hPa are intensified by southward movement of jet core at 200 hPa. The heavy rainfall system seems to locate to the south of the exit region of upper-level jet streak; In the developing stage of cyclone, the relative vorticity below 850 hPa and the convergence near surface are further strengthened and upward vertical velocity between 850 hPa and 200 hPa is increased.

An attempt is made to analyse characteristic features of heavy rainfalls which occur at the metropolitan area of the Korean peninsular the on- and off- Changma season. For this, two representative heavy rainfall episodes are selected; one is the on-Changma season wherein a torrential rain episode happened at Goyang city on 12 July 2006, and the other is the off-Changma season, a heavy rainfall event in Seoul on 21 September 2006. Both recorded considerable amounts of precipitation, over 250mm in a half-day, which greatly exceeded the amount expected by numerical prediction models at those times, and caused great damage to property and life in the affected area. Similarities in the characteristics of both episodes were shown by; the location of upper-level jet streak and divergence fields of the upper wind over heavy rainfall areas, significantly high equivalent potential temperatures in the low atmospheric layer due to the entrainment of hot and humid air by the low-level jet, and the existence of very dry air and cold air pool in the middle layer of the atmosphere at the peak time of the rainfall events. Among them, differences in dynamic features of the low-level jet and the position of rainfall area along the low-level jet are remarkable.

Asian dust(or yellow sand) occurs mainly in spring and occasionally in winter in east Asia, when the weather conditions are under an upper trough/cut-off low and surface high/low pressure system during blocking episode days associated with the stationary patterns of the upper level jet stream. The transport mechanism for Asian dust during the blocking episode days in spring 2001 was analyzed using the TOMS aerosol index and meteorological mesoscale model 5(MM5). Based on the E vector, an extension of an Eliassen-Palm flux, the blocking episode days were found to be associated with the development of an upper cut-off low and surface cyclones. Concurrently, the occurrence of dust storms was also determined by strong cold advection at the rear of a jet streak, which exhibited a maximum wind speed within the upper jet stream. As such, the transport mechanism for Asian dust from China was due to advection of the isentropic potential vorticity(IPV) and isentropic surfaces associated with tropopause folding. The transport heights for Asian dust during the blocking episode days were found to be associated with the distribution of the isentropes below the IPV At the same time, lee waves propagated by topography affected the downward motion and blocking of Asian dust in China. The Asian dust transported from the dust source regions was deposited by fallout and rain-out with a reinforcing frontogenesis within a surface cyclone, as determined from satellite images using TOMS and GMS5. Accordingly, these results emphasize the importance of forecasting jet streaks, the IPV, and isentropes with geopotential heights in east Asia.

2006년 10월 22일에서 24일에 걸쳐 한반도 강릉지역에서 강한 집중호우가 발생했다. 이 기간에 대해서 집중호우가 발생하기 전과 강우강도가 가장 강했을 때 나타나는 종관적, 운동학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 지상일기도, 상층일기도, 적외위성영상, 자동기상관측장비(AWS) 자료, NCEP(National Centers for Environmental Prediction) 전구분석자료를 이용하였다. 분석 기간 동안 강릉에서 관측된 총 강수량은 316.5 mm이고, 최대 순간풍속은 $63.7m\;s^{-1}$이다. 일기도를 분석해보면 집중호우가 시작하기 전 온대저기압이 한반도 중부에서 발달하였으며 한반도 북부에 역전기압골이 형성되어 있다. 또한 300 hPa 상층일기도에서는 서해와 한반도 남부에 제트기류가 위치하며, 위치 소용돌이도 이상과 관련된 절리 저기압이 한반도 북서부에서 발달하고 있다. 강우강도가 가장 강했을 때의 특성을 좀 더 자세히 알아보기 위하여 강릉지역의 위치 소용돌이도 이상과 바람, 위치 소용돌이도의 시간-연직 단면도, 연직운동, 발산장과 수렴장, 역학적 온위의 연직분포에 대해 조사하였다. 종관적, 운동학적 과정을 분석해 본 결과 대류권계면 접힘이 집중호우 발생에 큰 역할을 한 것으로 사료된다.
