It is well perceived that micrometeorological approach is one of the most reliable method for the quantification of vertical fluxes of trace components in the atmosphere. In this study, the feasibility of relaxed eddy accumulation (REA) method is discussed with respect to its reliability in the field application. Knowing that the use of micrometeorological approaches requires validation of analytical uncertainties involved, the problems and issues associated with its application are discussed to stimulate the proper employment of such technique in the field study.

The diffusion of the pollutants released into atmosphere is dependent on its chemical reaction, topography and micrometeorological characteristics. The purpose of the study is to investigate how much micrometeorological characteristics such as stability, wind speed and mixing height affect the diffusion of the air pollutants. For this purpose, this paper let 1) the basic theory be K-theory, 2) eddy diffusivity and wind speed be dependent on mixing height and stability, and 3) Grout method be used for numeric calculation. The result was 1) the more unstable condition, the higher mixing height and the higher wind speed we, the lower pollutants concentration appears, 2) the most intensive effect on the distribution of the pollutant concentration is the atmospheric stability.

The micrometeorological tower flux network is the cornerstone of the global terrestrial vegetation monitoring. The eddy covariance technique used for tower fluxes is derived from the conservation of mass and is most applicable for steady-state conditions over flat, extended, and uniform vegetation. This technique allows us to obtain surface fluxes of energy budget components, greenhouse and trace gases, and other pollutants. The quality-controlled flux data are invaluable to validate various models with temporal scales ranging from minutes to years and spatial scales ranging from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. In this paper, we review the theoretical background of this important eddy covariance technique, examine the measurement criteria and corrections, and finally suggest some measurement strategies that may facilitate coordinated flux measurements among different disciplines and provide a strong infrastructure for the global flux network.

The concentrations of $SO_2$ and $SO_3$ were measured to estimate a new developed long time exposure $SO_2$ sampler at Onsan industrial area considering the meteorological factors from June to October, 1992. The mean concentration of $SO_3$ by $PbO_2$ method was 0.924 mg $SO_3 / 10cm^2$ $PbO_2$/day and their high values were shown in the center of the industrial area, which show potential pollution due to the increase of industrial activities and micrometeorological factors in and around the sites. As a result of statistical correlation between $SO_2$ concentration by new sampling method and $SO_3$ concentration by $PbO_2$ method in July and August, 1992, correlation coefficients were high (r=0.87, 0.91) and shown more than 0.83 value in the high concentration data set, which was arbitrarily divided into 7~10${\mu}l$$SO_2$ concentration in an attempt to further investigate these relationships. Therefore, use of new developed long time exposure TEX>$SO_2$ sampler is good for TEX>$SO_2$ measurement and valuable for estimation of air quality in the urban and industrial area. Key Words : a new developed long time exposure TEX>$SO_2$ sampler, correlation coefficients, high, $SO_2$ measurement, estimation of air Quality.

1996년 7월 하순부터 9월 하순에 걸쳐 동경농공대학 농학부 부속부중농장(동경도 부중시)의 대두(Glycine max)개체군을 대상으로 미기상학적 플럭스측정방법의 하나인 열수지법을 이용하여 CO₂ 플럭스와 O₃ 플럭스를 측정하였다. CO₂ 플럭스와 O₃ 플럭스는 엽면적지수(LAI)의 변화에 영향을 받았으며, LAI가 2.0이상일 경우 CO₂ 플럭스는 광합성유효발사량(PAR)과 정비례관계가 있었다. O₃ 플럭스는 측정 기간 중 항상 양의 수치를 나타냈으며, 평균치는 0.5 mol m/sup -2/S/sup -1/이었다. 또한 CO₂와 O₃ 침착속도사이에는 정비례관계가 있었다 (LAI>2.0).

Mercury (Hg) is ubiquitous throughout the earth's atmosphere. The uniqueness of its atmospheric geochemistry is well-known with the high environmental mobility and relatively long atmospheric residence time (c.a., 1 year) associated with its high chemical stability. Despite a growing recognition of the environmental significance of its global cycling, the prexisting Korean database for atmospheric Hg is extremely rare and confined to a number of concentration measurements conducted under relatively polluted urban atmospheric environments. To help activate the research on this suvject, an in-depth analysis on the current development in the measurements of atmospheric mercury and the associated fluxes has been made using the most using the most updated data ests reported worldwide. As a first step toward this purpose, the most reliable techniques commonly employed in the measurements of its concentration in the background atmosphere are introduced in combination with the flux measurement techniques over soil surface such as: dynamic enclosure (or field flux chamber) method and field micrometeorological method. Then the results derived using these measurement techniques are discussed and interpreted with an emphasis on its mobilization across the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere interface. A unmber of factors including air/soil temperature, soil chemical composition, soil water content, and barometric pressure are found out to be influential to the rate and amount of such exchange processes. Although absolute magnitude of such exchange processes is insignificant relative to that of the major component like the oceanic environment, this exchange process is thought to be the the predominant natural pathway for both the mobilization and redistribution of atmospheric Hg on a local or regional scale.

With the increase of human activities since the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration has increased, which is believed the cause of climate change. Methane ($CH_4$) fluxes were measured at two commercial swine barns (Jarvis and Guelph) with a four tower micrometeorological mass balance method. Two and three separate measurements were conducted at Jarvis and at Guelph, respectively. In the Jarvis experiments from May to July, mean $CH_4$ flux ($490.4{\mu}g/m^2/s$) during daytime was lower than that during nighttime ($678.0{\mu}g/m^2/s$) (p<0.05), which would be caused by break of slurry temperature stratification. In the Guelph experiment from January to April, mean $CH_4$ flux ($62.9{\mu}g/m^2/s$) during daytime was higher than that during nighttime ($39.0{\mu}g/m^2/s$) (p<0.05), which would be generated by high slurry temperature at 3 cm depth after April 6. Slurry temperature stratification in the Guelph experiment would happen from January to March.

The concentrations of $NO_2$ were measured to estimate a new developed long term exposure $NO_2$ sampler at Pusan City considering the meteorological factors from May to July, in 1994. The monthly mean concentration of $NO_2$ was 15.9 PPb and 36.2 ${\mu}\ell$/day $NO_2$ and their high values were shown in the downtown of Pusan City which show potential pollution due to the increase of traffic activities and micrometeorological factors In and around the City. As a result of statistical correlation between $NO_2$ concentration by new sampling method and $NO_2$ concentration by the handy air sampler and chemiluminescent nitrogen oxides analyzer, 1994, correlation coefficients were high(r=0.93) and showed more than 0.88 value in the high concentration data set, which was arbitrarily divided into 30${\mu}\ell$ $NO_2$ concentration in an attempt to further investigate these relationships. Therefore, use of new developed long term exposure $NO_2$ sampler is good for $NO_2$ measurement and valuable for estimation of air quality in the urban and Industrial area.

지구 온난화와 연관된 기후 변화는 악기상 현상의 발생 빈도 및 강도를 증가시킨다. 따라서 산불, 산사태 등 산림 재해의 예방 및 대응을 위한 정밀한 산림 미기상 예측 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 2013년 3월 봉화와 강릉에서 발생한 산불을 WRF와, 3D-var로 모의 하였다. WRF에서 나온 Output 자료를 이용하여 MUKLIMO 모형을 기반으로 산림 미기상 해석 및 모의를 위한 예측 시스템의 구축과 최적화를 이루었다. 이를 위해 3차원 변분 자료 동화 방법을 사용하여 기상청 AWS 관측 자료를 동화하였고, WRF의 예보에 MUKLIMO 모형을 결합하여 100m의 고해상도 바람장을 산출하였다. 자료동화를 수행하지 않은 CNTL 실험에 비해 자료 동화를 수행한 KMA 혹은 KMA_KFRI실험의 모의 결과가 관측과 가까워짐을 확인하였다. MUKLIMO에서 산출된 바람장 자료를 이용하여 보다 정확한 산림 미기상 예측 시스템을 구축할 수 있었다.

The nocturnal low-level jet makes a significant impact on carbon and water exchanges and turbulent mixing processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. This study reports a case study of nocturnal surface fluxes such as $CO_2$ and water vapor in the surface layer observed at a flat and homogeneous site in the presence of low-level jets (LLJs). In particular, it documents the temporal evolution of the overlying jets and the coincident response of surface fluxes. The present study highlights several factors linking the evolution of low-level jets to surface fluxes: 1) wavelet analysis shows that turbulent fluxes have similar time scales with temporal scale of LLJ evolution; 2) turbulent mixing is enhanced during the transition period of low-level jets; and 3) $CO_2$, water vapor and heat show dissimilarity from momentum during the period. We also found that LLJ activity is related not only to turbulent motions but also to the divergence of mean flow. An examination of scalar profiles and turbulence data reveal that LLJs transport $CO_2$ and water vapor by advection in the stable boundary layer, suggesting that surface fluxes obtained from the micrometeorological method such as nocturnal boundary layer budget technique should carefully interpreted in the presence of LLJs.
