Estimation of leaf wetness duration (LWD) facilitates assessment of the likelihood of outbreaks of many crop diseases. Models that estimate LWD may be more convenient and grower-friendly than measuring it with wetness sensors. Empirical models utilizing statistical procedures such as CART (Classification and Regression Tree; Gleason et al., 1994) have estimated LWD with accuracy comparable to that of electronic sensors.(omitted)

From the PDS scanning, isophote maps and surface luminosity distributions for the late type spiral galaxy NGC 6946 were obtained. Surface luminosity distribution showed that this galaxy can be classified as the Freeman's type II, and the deep spheroidal component was caused as a result of the ring structure in the central part of NGC 6946. Physical parameters-total magnitude ($M_T^B$), effective radius ($R_e^*$), central surface magnitude $U(0)_{CD}$, length scale (${\alpha}^{-1}$), disk-to-bulge ratio (D/B) and mass-to-luminosity ratio (M/L)-were also calculated, and the results show that NGC 6946 belongs to Sc I type galaxy according to the DDO classification, and is to be a fair sample of classification statge T=6.

Visibility and Automatic Weather System(AWS) data near Nakdong river were analyzed to characterize fog formation during 2012-2013. The temperature was lower than its nearby city - Daegu, whereas the humidity was higher than the city. 157 fog events were observed in total during the 2 year period. About 65% of the events occurred in fall (September, October, and November) followed by winter, summer, and spring. 94 early morning fog events of longer than 30 minutes occurred when south westerly wind speed was lower than 2 m/s. During these events, the water temperature was highest followed by soil surface and air temperatures due to the advection of cold and humid air from nearby hill. The observed fog events were categorized using a fog-type classification algorithm, which used surface cooling, wind speed threshold, rate of change of air temperature and dew point temperature. As a result, frontal fog observed 6 times, radiation 4, advection 13, and evaporation 66. The evaporation fog in the study area lasted longer than other reports. It is due to the interactions of cold air drainage flow and warm surface in addition to the evaporation from the water surface. In particular, more than 60% of the evaporation fog events were accompanied with cold air flows over the wet and warm surface. Therefore, it is needed for the identification of the inland fog mechanism to evaluate the impacts of nearby topography and land cover as well as water body.

In this study, we were carried out the classification of Korea's climate zone. $K{\ddot{o}}ppen$ climate classification and Warmth Index were used for classification of climate zone and we have predicted how the climate zone will be changed during the 21st century. Especially, $K{\ddot{o}}ppen$ climate classification is one of the most widely used method in the world. The climate data used monthly climate normal data (1981-2010) and future climate data (2051-2060 and 2091-2100) by considering RCP 8.5 scenarios, which was made from geospatial climate models at 1km grid cell estimated. In conclusion, the temperature will rise steadily and the climate zone will be simplified in the future as a result.

It is predicted that future climate warming will occur, and the subtropical climate zone currently confined to the south coast of Korea will gradually rise north. The shift of climate zone implies a change in area for cultivating crops. This study aimed to evaluate the current and future status of climate zones based on the high-resolution climate data of South Korea to prepare adaptation measures for cultivating crops under changing agricultural climate conditions. First, the climatic maps of South and North Korea were produced by using the high-resolution monthly maximum and minimum daily temperature and monthly cumulative precipitation produced during the past 30 years (1981-2010) covering South and North Korea. Then the climate zones of the Korean Peninsula were classified based on the Köppen climate classification. Second, the changes in climate zones were predicted by using the corrected monthly climate data of the Korean Peninsula (grid resolution 30-270m) based on the RCP8.5 scenario of the Korea Meteorological Administration. Köppen climate classification was applied based on the RCP8.5 scenario, the temperature and precipitation of the Korean Peninsula would continue to increase and the climate would become simpler. It was predicted that the temperate climate, appearing in the southern region of Korea, would be gradually expanded and the most of the Korean Peninsula, excluding some areas of Hamgkyeong and Pyeongan provinces in North Korea, would be classified as a temperate climate zone between 2071 and 2100. The subarctic climate would retreat to the north and the Korean Peninsula would become warmer and wetter in general.

The objective of this study was to evaluate land cover classification of PyeongTaeg area by Landsat Thematic Mapper Data June, 1997. This study was also to make more correct reference data using DGPS, aerophoto, and topographical chart etc.. The result of the area of paddy and upland were estimated 4,949 $\textrm{km}^2$ and 16,157 $\textrm{km}^2$, respectively. Correctness of estimation by using DGPS, aerophoto, topographical chart were shown over 90% correct in case of rice paddy field, water, and sea, while upland, vinyl house, forest, grassland, village were shown low correctness. Total average accuracy was shown to be 85.8%. Correctness of paddy field showed high value of 92%, showing that use of remote sensing data was proved to be effective methods to estimate spatial distribution and cultivation status of paddy field. Classification result of sea, water area, downtown had higher correctness, while upland, vinyl-house, grassland were proved to be relatively low correctness because of it's small area and mixed distribution.

In order to investigate the impacts of heat wave on human health, cluster analysis of meteorological elements (e.g., temperature, dewpoint, sea level pressure, visibility, cloud amount, and wind components) for identifying offensive synoptic air masses is employed. Meteorological data at Seoul during the past 30 years are used. The daily death data at Seoul are also employed. Occurrence frequency of heat waves which is defined by daily maximum temperature greater than the threshold temperature (i.e., $31.2^{\circ}C$) was analyzed. The result shows that the frequency and duration of heat waves at Seoul are increasing during the past 30 years. In addition, the increasing trend of the frequency and duration clearly appears in late spring and early autumn as well as summer. Factor analysis shows that 65.1% of the total variance can be explained by 4 components which are linearly independent. Eight clusters (or synoptic air masses) were classified and found to be optimal for representing the summertime air masses at Seoul, Korea. The results exhibit that cluster-mean values of meteorological variables of an offensive air mass (or cluster) are closely correlated with the observed and standardized deaths.
