두 대의 레이더를 이용하여 반사도를 합성할 때 중복영역을 처리하는 새로운 합성 방법을 개발하였다. 이 합성 방법은 인접한 두 레이더의 중복되는 영역의 반사도 차이를 보정한 후 가중치를 주어 합성하는 방법이다. 가중치는 CAPPI(Constant Altitude PPI) 고도와 반사도가 관측된 고도와의 차이의 비를 역으로 계산한 것이다. 이 합성방법의 결과를 분석하기 위하여 두 레이더를 이용하여 관측한 태풍 사례의 반사도장에 대해 다른 합성방법(최댓값, 평균값, 근거리, 거리 가중)과 비교하였다. 두 레이더의 중복영역의 경계지점들에 대해 반사도의 연속성과 치우침을 분석하였고 그 결과 새로운 방법이 다른 합성방법에 비해 더 우수한 결과를 얻었다.

Although the Radar-AWS Rainrate (RAR) calculation system operated by Korea Meteorological Administration estimated precipitation using 2-dimensional composite components of single polarization radars, this system has several limitations in estimating the precipitation accurately. To to overcome limitations of the RAR system, the Korea Meteorological Administration developed and operated the RMQ (Radar-based Multi-sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) system, the improved version of NMQ (National Mosaic and Multi-sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) system of NSSL (National Severe Storms Laboratory) for the Korean Peninsula. This study introduced the RMQ system domestically for the first time and verified the precipitation estimation performance of the RMQ system. The RMQ system consists of 4 main parts as the process of handling the single radar data, merging 3D reflectivity, QPE, and displaying result images. The first process (handling of the single radar data) has the pre-process of a radar data (transformation of data format and quality control), the production of a vertical profile of reflectivity and the correction of bright-band, and the conduction of hydrid scan reflectivity. The next process (merger of 3D reflectivity) produces the 3D composite reflectivity field after correcting the quality controlled single radar reflectivity. The QPE process classifies the precipitation types using multi-sensor information and estimates quantitative precipitation using several Z-R relationships which are proper for precipitation types. This process also corrects the precipitation using the AWS position with local gauge correction technique. The last process displays the final results transformed into images in the web-site. This study also estimated the accuracy of the RMQ system with five events in 2012 summer season and compared the results of the RAR (Radar-AWS Rainrate) and RMQ systems. The RMQ system ($2.36mm\;hr^{-1}$ in RMSE on average) is superior to the RAR system ($8.33mm\;hr^{-1}$ in RMSE) and improved by 73.25% in RMSE and 25.56% in correlation coefficient on average. The precipitation composite field images produced by the RMQ system are almost identical to the AWS (Automatic Weather Statioin) images. Therefore, the RMQ system has contributed to improve the accuracy of precipitation estimation using weather radars and operation of the RMQ system in the work field in future enables to cope with the extreme weather conditions actively.

본 연구는 기상청의 기상레이더 관측망을 이용한 하이브리드 고도면 강우추정 기법 기반의 새로운 정량적 합성강수량 추정 방법을 제시한다. HSR기법은 지형클러터, 빔차폐, 비 기상 에코 및 밝은 띠의 영향을 받지 않는 하이브리드 고도면의 반사도를 합성하는 것이 특징이다. HSR 합성반사도는 정적 HSR (STATIC)과 단일편파레이더에 대한 퍼지로직 기법과 이중편파레이더에 대한 시선방향 질감 기반의 품질관리 절차를 사용하는 동적 HSR (DYNAMIC) 합성으로 구분된다. STATIC과 DYNAMIC은 2014년 5월부터 10월까지 10개의 강우 사례에 대해 기상청 현업용 합성강우(MOSAIC)와 비교검증 하였다. 차폐 영역에서 STATIC, DYNAMIC, MOSAIC의 상관계수는 각각 0.52, 0.78, 0.69이며 평균 상대 오차는 각각 34.08, 30.08, 40.71%로 분석되었다.

The neutron beam is fully characterized for the prompt gamma activation analysis facility at Hanaro in the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI). The facility uses thermal neutrons which are diffracted vertically from a horizontal beam port by a set of pyrolytic graphite(PG) crystals positioned at the Bragg angle of 45" Neutron spectra, neutron flux and Cd-ratio are determined for the three extraction modes of diffracted beam by means of the theoretical and experimental efforts. To obtain theoretical result, the reflectivity of pyrolytic graphite is calculated in the diffraction model for mosaic crystal and the angular divergence after diffraction by mosaic crystal is estimated from Monte Carlo simulation. The time-of-flight spectrometer and gold activation wire are used for measuring the neutron spectra. Both the calculated and measured spectra have proven that the unique feature of polychromatic beam obtained by PG crystals are useful for PGAA. The thermal neutron flux of 7.9$\times$107 n/cm$^2$s and the Cd-ratio of 266 for gold have been achieved at the sample position while the reactor operates at 24 MW The uniformity of beam flux is 12% in the central 1$\times$1 cm$^2$ area. Finally, the beam is briefly characterized by the effective velocity and temperature which are determined by measuring the prompt Y-ray spectra for thin and thick boron samples.ples.

We report the operational highlights of KMTNet in the point of observing rate, image pre-processing and data reduction, observing run for each science program, and scientific publications performed in 2016. Major system upgrade has been conducted in the CCD camera and the wide field telescope optics: the post amp and readout electronics of the 18k Mosaic CCD camera at Siding Spring Observatory site has been fine tuned and the protected silver coat of the primary mirror has been replaced with the bare aluminium coat due to the degradation of reflectivity of the primary mirror surface. A plan of KMTNet observation system improvement for 2017 will be introduced in this talk.
