지형적인 형태와 지표면의 물리적인 특성은 기상장 뿐 만 아니라 대기질 수치 모델링에서도 가장 중요한 입력변수가 된다. 대부분 복잡지형에서 일어나는 국지적인 기상의 일변동들이 지형적인 불균일성에 의해 지배되기도 한다. 이러한 지형적인 특징들은 열적으로 유도된 대기흐름에 영향을 일으키며 직접적으로는 풍계의 변화를 가져오거나 지표면 가열 온도 자체에서의 중요한 변화를 가져와 간접적으로 영향을 주기도 한다. 복잡지형에서 이러한 변화양상들은 지형적인 특징 즉, 지형적 경사와 성질에 의한 태양복사 에너지의 불균등한 분배에 기인한다. 그러므로 기상장 묘사가 어려운 복잡지형에서는 관측값에 더 가까운 정확한 바람장을 예측하기 위해 상세한 지형 정보와 지표면 자료가 중요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 상세한 지표면과 지형자료를 지표 경계자료로 활용한 MM5-A2C 모델을 이용하여 복잡한 지형적 조건을 가진 산지지역에서의 바람장 수치모의를 하고자 한다. MM5-A2C에 의해 유도된 기상장은 국지규모의 산지주변에서의 지형강제력에 의한 기상장 해석을 정밀하게 예측하여 모델 내의 지형적 조건이 미치는 영향에 대해 직접적인 영향을 주고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In order to clarify the vertical ozone distribution in planetary boundary layer of coastal area with complex terrain, an observation campaign was carried out around Gwangyang Bay with dense pollutant emission sources during two days from June, 4 2007. For this observation are Radiosonde, SODAR(SOnic Detection And Ranging) and Tethered ozone sonde were employed. The surface meteorological and photochemical observation data provided by AWS (Automatic Weather System) and AQMS (Air Quality Monitoring System) were also applied for analysis. Synoptic condition is strongly associated with lower level ozone distribution in complex terrain coastal area. Since mesoscale circulation induced by difference of characteristics of land and sea and orographic forcing is predominant under calm synoptic condition, vertical distribution of ozone is complicate and vertical ozone concentration greatly fluctuated. However in second day when synoptic influence become strong, ozone concentration in lower levels is vertically uniform regardless of observation level. This results in vertical observation indicates that vertical ozone distribution is often determined by synoptic condition and also affects surface ozone concentration.

In this study, we analyzed the impact of orographic and thermal forcing on the atmospheric flow field over the urban metropolitan areas on urban artificial buildings and future development plan. Several numerical experiments have been undertaken in order to clarify the impacts of the future development plan on urban area by analyzing practical urban ground conditions, we revealed that there were large differences in the meteorological differences in each case. The prognostic meteorological fields over complex areas of Seoul, Korea are generated by the PSU/NCAR mesoscale model(MM5). we carried out a comparative examination on the meteorological fields of topography and land-use that had building information and future development plan. A higher wind speed at daytimes tends to be forecasted when using new topography and land use data that have a high resolution with an appropriate limitation to the mixing height and the nocturnal boundary layer(NCB). During nighttime periods, since radiation cooling development is stronger after development plan, the decreased wind speed is often generated.

This study investigates the influence of atmospheric river (AR) on precipitation over South Korea with a focus on regional characteristics. The 42-year-long catalog of ARs, which is obtained by applying the automatic AR detection algorithm to ERA5 reanalysis data and the insitu precipitation data recorded at 56 weather stations across the country are used to quantify their relationship. Approximately 51% of the climatological annual precipitation is associated with AR. The AR-related precipitation is most pronounced in summer by approximately 58%, while only limited fraction of precipitation (26%) is AR-related in winter. The heavy precipitation (> 30 mm day^-1) is more prone to AR activity (59%) than weak precipitation (5~30 mm day^-1; 33%) in all seasons. By grouping weather stations into the four sub-regions based on orography, it is found that the contribution of AR precipitation to the total is largest in the southern coast (57%) and smallest in the eastern coast (36%). Similar regional variations in AR precipitation fractions also occur in weak precipitation events. The regional contrast between the northern and southern stations is related to the seasonal variation of AR-frequency. In addition, the regional contrast between the western and eastern stations is partly modulated by the orographic forcing. The fractional contribution of AR to heavy precipitation exceeds 50% in all seasons, but this is true only in summer along the eastern coast. This result indicates that ARs play a critical role in heavy precipitation in South Korea, thus routine monitoring of ARs is needed for improving operational hydrometeorological forecasting.
