  • 남극 세종 과학기지에 설치된 페브리-페로 간섭 계를 사용하여 지구 열권의 OI $6300{\AA}$밤 대기광을 1997년 3월부터 9월까지 관측하였다. 세종 기지는 지리적으로 고위도($62.22^{\circ}S,\;301.25^{\circ}E$) 이지만 지자기 위치로는 중위도($50.62^{\circ}S,\;7.51^{\circ}E$)에 위치한다. 그러므로 이러한 세종 과학기지의 위치는 태양과 지자기 활동에 대해서 남반구의 열권 온도를 측정하기에 전략적인 위치에 있다. 우리는 고위도 열권에서 태양과 지자기 활동에 대한 효과를 알아보기 위해 F10.7과 Kp 지수와 상관하여 관측된 온도를 분석하였다. 관측기간 동안 태양 활동은 저조 기였다. 측정된 온도는 어느 정도의 계절적 변화를 보이면서 600~1000K 사이에 분포하였으며 반 경험 모델인 VSH과 경험 모델인 MSIS-86에 의해 예측된 값보다는 높은 결과를 나타냈다.

  • It has been suggested that oscillatory earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs) in the magnetotail are driving Pi2 oscillations on the ground. However, only a few studies examined the BBF-driven Pi2 model. The goal of this study is to establish the relation between BBFs and Pi2s. In order to examine BBF-drive model, we will conduct the timing analysis between BBFs and Pi2s for the intervals during which both Pi2 and BBF are present. In our study BBFs are identified with earthward flow speeds up to 200 km/s from THEMIS probes with a geocentric distance between 7 and 12 RE in the nightside magnetosphere for the interval from January 2008 to March 2008. Pi2 pulsations are identified at three low/mid-latitude ground stations having different local times; Bohyun (L = 1.35, LT ~ UT +9 hr), Hermanus (L = 1.83, LT ~ UT +2 hr) and Carson city (L = 2.00, LT ~ UT -2 hr). It is found that ~28% of BBFs have onset timing nearly identical to Pi2 onset. To investigate whether there is high similarity in the waveform between BBF and Pi2 oscillations, the coherence analysis is applied to the time series of BBF and Pi2 events. We found that there is no high coherence between BBF and Pi2 oscillations. Thus our observations suggest that low-latitude Pi2 oscillations are not directly driven by earthward flow bursts.

  • 현재잠재자연하천의 식생을 연구하기 위하여 인간의 영향을 받은 흔적이 없는 또는 거의 없는 국내의 자연하천구역 25개소를 다양한 환경요소를 고려하여 선정하고, 2006년과 2007년 여름에 식생조사를 실시하였다. 조사는 Braun-Blanquet(1964)에 의거 1개 조사구(하천연장 약 1km)에 5개의 방형구와 Belt-transect에 따른 횡단면(길이 20m)의 좌우안의 4개의 belt/ 1개 조사구에서의 출현식물을 조사하였다. 그 결과 위도 $37^{\circ}{\sim}37.9^{\circ}$의 중북부지방 조사구 하천에서의 공통적 식물군락은 신갈나무군락과 신갈나무와 갈참나무를 동반한 물푸레나무군락이었고, 위도 $35^{\circ}{\sim}35.9^{\circ}$의 남부지방 조사구하천에서는 졸참나무, 때죽나무, 굴참나무군락, 위도 $36^{\circ}{\sim}36.9^{\circ}$의 중부지방은 중북부와 남부의 중간적 특성을 보인 졸참나무, 물푸레나무, 갈참나무군락으로 조사되었다. 그리고 조사구하천의 환경요인과 출현식생과의 상관성을 분석한 결과 Eco region이 가장 높은 상관성을 보였으나, 앞으로 다양한 환경인자를 고려한 사례조사구의 증가를 통하여 하천유형별 잠재자연하천의 식생을 규명하는 것이 홍수터복원계획에 절실할 것으로 사료된다.

  • In this study, we investigate the performance of Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5 (GloSea5) in Korea Meteorological Administration on the relationship between El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ and East Asian climate for the period of 1991~2010. It is found that the GloSea5 has a great prediction skill of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ whose anomaly correlation coefficients of $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ indices are over 0.96 during winter. The eastern Pacific (EP) El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ and the central Pacific (CP) El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ are considered and we analyze for EP El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$, which is well simulated in GloSea5. The analysis period is divided into the developing phase of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ summer (JJA(0)), mature phase of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ winter (D(0)JF(1)), and decaying phase of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ summer (JJA(1)). The GloSea5 simulates the relationship between precipitation and temperature in East Asia and the prediction skill for the East Asian precipitation and temperature varies depending on the El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ phase. While the precipitation and temperature are simulated well over the equatorial western Pacific region, there are biases in mid-latitude region during the JJA(0) and JJA(1). Because the low level pressure, wind, and vertical stream function are simulated weakly toward mid-latitude region, though they are similar with observation in low-latitude region. During the D(0)JF(1), the precipitation and temperature patterns analogize with observation in most regions, but there is temperature bias in inland over East Asia. The reason is that the GloSea5 poorly predicts the weakening of Siberian high, even though the shift of Aleutian low is predicted. Overall, the predictability of precipitation and temperature related to El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ in the GloSea5 is considered to be better in D(0)JF(1) than JJA(0) and JJA(1) and better in ocean than in inland region.

  • 북대서양 중앙해령 동편에서 시추한 코아를 가지고 안정동위원소 및 고해양학적, 퇴적학적 연구를 시도하였다. 부유유공충의 안정동위원소 기록에서 분명한 이상을 보이며 이것은 하인리히 이벤트와 잘 대비된다. 코아에서 발견된 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 석영, 알칼리장석, 사장석, 방해석, 백운석, 운모 등 다양한 성분의 쇄설성광물을 함유하고 있다. H3와 H6 이외의 모든 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 쇄설탄산염광물을 1-13% 함유하고 있다. 부유유공충인 N.pachyderma(sin.)에서 가장 큰 이상을 보이며, G. bulloides와 G. inflata의 ${\delta}^{18}O는 중위도 수온약층 구조에서의 체계적인 변화를 보여준다. 빙하쇄설퇴적층이 형성되는 기간 동안에는 저서유공충의 <${\delta}^{13}C가 내려갔고 이에 일치하여 낮은 값의 ${\delta}^{18}O와 영양분이 풍부한 해수가 발달하였다. 제4기말의 25,000년과 57,000년 전 사이에 보이는 1$\textperthousand$ 이상의 ${\delta}^{13}C증가는 북대서양심해수(NADW)의 약화와 이에 따른 남쪽기원의 남극저층수(AABW)의 상대적인 확장을 의미한다. 코아 M15612의 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 코아 SO75-26KL과 DSDP 609에서 발견된 것과 대비된다. 포르투갈 대륙사면에서 발견된 빙하쇄설퇴적층은 대양의 H1, H2 및 H4와 일치한다. 양쪽지역의 유사성은 하나의 해양시스템 내에서 북대서양 해류의 상호작용에 의하여 형성된 결과로 사료된다.

  • For the planned experiments of Korea Sounding Rocket-III (KSR-III), we have constructed a model of MUV dayglow in the mid-latitude. The model computes relative intensities of individual emission lines in the Vegard-Kaplan and 2PG band systems of $N_2$ in the wavelength range of 2500-3500${\AA}$. In addition to the emission lines, solar scattered continuum was computed by an extended LOWTRAN7 code, in which we have included solar scattering in altitudes higher than 100 km by using MSIS90 thermosphere model. Ratios among vibrational bands of VK and 2PG system, were computed from the observed MUV dayglow spectra of Cleary et al. (1995). The model provides MUV dayglow intensitiy profiles with a wavelength resolution of 3.13${\AA}$ as a function of altitude. The computed intensity profiles have been utilized in designing the KSR-III airglow photometers.

  • In this study, we estimated the topside scale height of plasma density (Hm) using the Swarm constellation and ionosondes in Korea. The Hm above Korean Peninsula is generally around 50 km. Statistical distributions of the topside scale height exhibited a complex dependence upon local time and season. The results were in general agreement with those of Tulasi Ram et al. (2009), who used the same method to calculate the topside scale height in a mid-latitude region. On the contrary, our results did not fully coincide with those obtained by Liu et al. (2007), who used electron density profiles from Arecibo Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) between 1966 and 2002. The disagreement may result from the limitations in our approximation method and data coverage used for estimations, as well as the inherent dependence of Hm on Geographic LONgitude (GLON).

  • Time series of gridded surface wind and wind-stress vectors over the world ocean have been constructed by satellite scatterometer data. The products are derived from the ERS-l,2 covering 9 years during 1992-2000 and the Sea Winds on board QuikSCAT (Qscat) which has been operating up to the present since June 1999, so they allows us to analyze variabilities with various time scales. In this study, we focus on interannual variability of the wind stress in the mid- and high-latitude region of North Pacific. These are compared with those by numerical weather prediction(NWP) ones (NCEP Reanalysis). We also examine variability in the wind-stress curl field that is an important factor for ocean dynamics and focus its time and spatial characters in the northwestern Pacific around Japan. It is found that the vorticity field in the lower atmosphere tends to increase gradually with time, suggesting the enhancement of the North Pacific subtropical gyre.

  • Electron whistlers frequently excite proton whistlers. The proton whistlers appear on the dynamic spectrum as rising tones, which start after the reception of a short electron whistler, asymptotically approaching the local proton gyro-frequency. The proton whistlers are dispersed forms of lightning impulses and their dispersion can be explained by the effects of heavy ions such as H+ and He+ on the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in the ionosphere. In the ionosphere, a right-handed circularly-polarized electron whistler becomes coupled to a left-handed circularly-polarized proton whistler when the frequency becomes close to a cross-over frequency. By adopting the multi-fluid numerical wave model, we examine how the mode coupling varies as the ion composition changes along altitude in the mid-latitude ionosphere. The time histories and dynamic spectra of electric fields are presented. In addition, we compare our results with the previous theoretical and observational studies.

  • This study was conducted to elucidate the mid-growth of Norway spruce at the age of 27 and select the superior provenances in Korea. Growth performance of twenty-four provenances from Germany and Rumania were investigated in four plantations. Significant differences were found in growth (height, DBH, volume) with plantations. Maximum growth were detected on plantation Chuncheon which located in most northern area, and minimum growth were detected on plantation Wanju located in most southern area. The rank of height in provenances has fluctuated, but superior/inferior groups have been almost fixed. 840-23, 840-10, 840-19 in Germany, G1-64-57, G1-64-54 in Rumania proved excellent provenances. Height in early stage positively correlated with that in late stage. The growth was positively correlated with latitude and altitude of plantations, but negatively correlated with temperature.
