The fist sounding rocket in Korea, KSR-420S has been under the development at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), and is expected to be launched in 1993 to measure the vertical ozone profile over the Korean Peninsula. The KSR-420S is expected to provide the fist in situ measurement of ozone concentrations over the Korean Peninsula. An optical ozone detector has been developed at Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), and its calibration has been completed recently. In this paper, measurement principles of the ozone detector in KSR-420S, its calibration data, ozone measurement procedure and data reduction algorithm are presented with sample calculations.

The purpose of this study is verification of threshold of the aircraft turbulence index and icing index using PIREPs and KWRF on Korean peninsula, to operational weather support. There is improvement in new threshold value made of the pilot weather report data and the turbulence and icing index from KWRF model result, using the ROC Diagram method. the accuracy is up to 0.6 compared with the precedent study result 0.5. Through this study, It is founded on the research and development of the Korean peninsula aircraft turbulence and icing.

The article contains a list with comments of fifteen species of economically important family Encyrtidae known from Korean peninsula. Of these, four species, Cerchysius subplanus (Dalman), Copidosoma floridanum (Ashmead), Homalotylus flaminius (Dalman) and Prionomitus tiliaris (Dalman), were collected in the North Korea by Hungarian entomologists. Three species, Coccidencyrtus steinbergi Tshumakova et Trjapitzin, Neodiscodes sp. and Thomsonbca shutovae (Trjapitzin), were recorded from the North Korea by Russian specialists.

A genus, Eocanthecona Bergroth (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae), is reported from the Korean Peninsula for the first time based on the species of Eocanthecona japanicola (Esaki & Ishihara, 1950). The morphological information such as description and diagnosis, and biological information are provided.

In order to investigate the offshore wind resources around Korean peninsula, the "QuikSCAT Level 3" data by ADEOS II satellite was analyzed from Jan 1 2000 to Jan 18 2003. The "SeaWinds" on the satellite is a specialize4 device for microwave scatterometery that measures near-surface wind speed and direction under all weather and cloud conditions. Wind speed are extrapolated from 10m to 60m with the exponent of 1/10 in the power law model. It has been found that the High wind energy potentials are prevailing in the South sea and Southeastern end of Korean peninsula.

In the microcaddisfly family Hydroptilidae, only 12 species belonging to four genera are known currently from the Korean Peninsula. Yet, worldwide this family is one of the biggest of the Trichoptera families. Collection from 2015 to 2017 by aerial sweeping and light-trapping in the southeastern part of Korean Peninsula (Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do) included species not recorded previously from the Korean Peninsula. We provide re-descriptions of the six species(Hydroptila dampfi Ulmer, 1929, H. introspinata Zhou and Sun, 2009, Orthotrichia costalis(Curtis, 1834), O. tragetti Mosely, 1930, Oxyethira miea $Ol{\acute{a}}h$ and Ito, 2013, and Stactobia nishimotoi Botosaneanu and Nozaki, 1996) to improve comprehension of Korean hydroptilids.

Macruropyxis fraxini has been recorded on several species of Fraxinus in China, Japan, Russia (Far East), and North Korea since its first recorded observation as a rust fungus on F. rhynchophylla in Jilin, China, in 1899. In the Korean Peninsula, the rust fungus was first recorded on F. rhynchophylla in 1935, based on four specimens collected at Mt. Kumgangsan, Gangwondo Province, in the North Korean territory. We confirmed this rust in the Korean Peninsula after 82 years. The rust fungus was identified based on morphological characteristics and a molecular phylogenetic analysis. This is the first record of M. fraxini in South Korea.

This study aims to find the characteristics of damage and states of natural disasters at the Korean Peninsula from 1985 to 2004. Using the data of Statistical yearbook of calamities issued by the National Emergency Management Agency and Annual Climatological Report issued by the Korea Meteorological Administration. we have analyzed the cause, elements, and vulnerable regions for natural disasters. Major causes of natural disaster at Korean Peninsula are four, such as a heavy rain, heavy rain typhoon, typhoon, storm snow, and storm. The frequency of natural disaster is the highest from June to September. The period from December to March also shows high frequency. The total amount of damage is high during the summer season(Jul.-Sept). The period from January to March shows relatively high amount of damage due to storm and storm snow The areas of Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do are classified the vulnerable region for the natural disasters. By establishing mitigation plans which fit the type and characteristics of disaster for each region, damage from disaster can be reduced with efficient prevention activities.

The numerical simulation of tsunami against the south coast of the Korean Peninsula has been performed by adopting the standard appropriate grid size and the numerical model has been constructed to include the characteristics of the tsunami propagation applied for the care of the East China Sea. The artificial tsunami has been modelled first and then, it has been used as the boundary condition for the detailed model which showed the south coast of the Korean Peninsula.

Extreme environments and freak wave characteristics in the coastal waters of Korean Peninsula are analyzed using the observed wave data. Freak wave has been intensely emphasized as an important environmental force parameter in several recent research works. However, the mechanism and occurrence probability of freak wave are not clarified. The aims of this study we: to summarize the distribution of extreme environment for wind waves, and to find occurrence probability of freak wave in the coastal waters of Korean Peninsula. These extreme sea conditions are discussed by applying extreme value analysis method, and the statistic characteristics are summarized which can be used to the design and analysis of coastal structures. The mechanism and the occurrence probability of freak wave are also discussed in detail using wave parameters in considered with wave deformation in the coastal waters. Key Words : extreme wave, freak wave, extreme analysis, design wave, probability density.
