Among Solar activities' events, the geomagnetic storms are believed to cause the largest atmospheric effects. The geomagnetic storm is a complex process of solar wind/magnetospheric origin. It is well known to affect severely on the ionosphere. However, this effect of this complex process will maybe act at various altitudes in the atmosphere, even including the lower layer and the neutral middle atmosphere, particularly the stratosphere. Nowadays, the GPS-derived ZTD (zenith tropospheric delay) can be transformed into the precipitable water vapor (PWV) through a function relation, and further has been widely used in meteorology, especially in improving the precision of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. However, such geomagnetic effects on the atmosphere are ignored in GPS meteorology applications. In this paper, we will investigate the geomagnetic storms' effects on the middle atmosphere and troposphere (0-100km) by GPS observations and other data. It has found that geomagnetic storms' effect on the atmosphere also appears in the troposphere, but the mechanism to interpret correlations in the troposphere need be further studied.

물리적 환경이 보행에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구들은 지속적으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 도시공간에서의 보행량에 날씨가 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 이에 본 연구는 도시공간에서 날씨가 보행량에 미치는 영향을 실증 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 2009년 서울시 유동인구 조사자료를 활용하였으며, 지점별 보행량을 종속변수, 날씨와 물리적 환경을 독립변수로 하는 모형을 구축하였다. 날씨가 보행량에 미치는 영향을 계절별, 토지이용별, 시간대별로 파악하고자 계절-토지이용-시간대로 구분된 28개의 모형을 작성하여 결과를 비교 해석하였다. 본 연구의 종속변수가 정규성을 만족하지 못하기 때문에 음이항 회귀모형을 활용하였다. 분석결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 날씨요인들은 보행량에 영향을 미친다. "비"는 대부분의 모형에서 보행량을 감소시키는 효과가 나타났으며, "눈"과 "천둥번개"는 소수의 모형에서 매우 큰 보행량 감소효과를 나타냈다. 둘째, 날씨가 보행량에 미치는 영향은 계절과 토지이용에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 예를 들어 "비"의 보행량 감소효과는 주거지역보다는 상업지역에서 크게 나타났으며, 동절기 보다는 하절기에 그 효과가 크게 나타났다. 셋째, 환경요인들의 영향도 계절에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 차로 수는 하절기에는 보행량에 정(+)의 영향을, 동절기에는 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지하철역 여부 또한 하절기에는 보행량에 강한 정의 영향을 미치지만 동절기에는 그 효과가 작거나 음의 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구의 정책적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 보행량을 감소시키는 효과가 있는 눈이나 비에 대응할 수 있는 반옥외 도시공간의 조성이 필요하다. 둘째 계절별로 특화된 보행활성화 정책이 필요하다.

We have examined the relative contributions of representative space weather proxies (geomagnetic aa index) to global warming (Global temperature anomaly) and compared them with that of green house effect characterized CO2 content from 1868 to 2005. For this we used Hadcrut3 temperature anomaly (Ta) data, aa index taken at two anti-podal subauroral stations (Canberra Australia and hartland England), and the CO2 data come from historical ice core records. From the comparison between Ta and aa index, we found several interesting results: (1) the linear correlation coefficient between two parameters increases until 1990 and then decreases rapidly, and (2) the scattered plots between two parameters shows different patterns before and after 1990. A partial correlation of Ta and two quantities (aa, CO2) also shows that the geomagnetic effect (aa index) is dominant until about 1990 and the CO2 effect becomes much more important after then. These results imply that the green house effect become very important since at least 1990. For a further analysis, we simply assume that Ta (total) = Ta (aa) + Ta (CO2) and made a linear regression between Ta and aa index from 1868 to 1990. A linear model is then made from the linear regression between energy consumption (a proxy of CO2 effect) and Ta (total) - Ta (aa) since 1990. This linear model makes it possible to predict the temperature anomaly in 2030, about 1 degree higher than the present temperature, which is much larger than in the previous century.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute researchers have installed and operated magnetometers at Bohyunsan Observatory to measure the Earth's magnetic field variations in South Korea. In 2007, we installed a fluxgate magnetometer (RFP-523C) to measure H, D, and Z components of the geomagnetic field. In addition, in 2009, we installed a Overhauser proton sensor to measure the absolute total magnetic field F and a three-axis magneto-impedance sensor for spectrum analysis. Currently three types of magnetometer data have been accumulated. In this paper, we use the H, D, Z components of fluxgate magnetometer data to investigate the characteristics of mid-latitude geomagnetic field variation. To remove the temporary changes in Earth's geomagnetic filed by space weather, we use the international quiet days' data only. In other words, we performed a superposed epoch analysis using five days per each month during 2008-2011. We find that daily variations of H, D, and Z shows similar tendency compared to previous results using all days. That is, H, D, Z all three components' quiet intervals terminate near the sunrise and shows maximum 2-3 hours after the culmination and the quiet interval start from near the sunset. Seasonal variations show similar dependences to the Sun. As it becomes hot season, the geomagnetic field variation's amplitude becomes large and the quiet interval becomes shortened. It is well-known that these variations are effects of Sq current system in the Earth's atmosphere. We confirm that the typical mid-latitude geomagnetic field variations due to the Sq current system by excluding all possible association with the space weather.

Large solar flares are associated with various aspects of space weather effects. Numerous attempts have been made to predict when the solar flare will be occurred mainly based on the configuration of the magnetic field of its flaring site. We analyze the time series of f/g which indicates a representative measure of the sunspot complexity to see whether it shows a possibility to be predicted without huge amounts of observation. Two kinds of analysis results are presented. One is from its power spectrum giving that there's no significantly persistent periodicity within a few days. Its de-trended fluctuation shows the Hurst exponent larger than 0.5 implying that the f/g time series has a long-term memory in time scales less than 10 days.

곽영실 등(2008)의 연구로부터 고위도 하부 열권의 평균 수평바람 형태는 발산적인 흐름보다는 회전적인 흐름에 더 강하게 지배된다는 것이 확인되었다. 이 연구에서는, 곽영실 등(2008)의 연구의 연장으로, 회전적인 흐름의 척도인 소용돌이도(vorticity)를 유지시켜주는 강제(forcing)항들을 정량화하고 서로 비교 분석함으로써, 고위도 하부 열권에서의 전체 수평 바람장의 강한 회전 흐름을 유발시키는 주된 물리적인 과정을 규명하였다. 이 연구를 위하여 미 국립대기연구소(NCAR)의 열권-이온권 전기역학적 대순환 모델(Thermosphere-ionosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model, TIEGCM)을 이용하였다. 고위도 하부 열권의 소용돌이의 변화를 결정하고 유지시켜 주는 주된 강제항은 이온항력(ion drag)항과 수평 이류(horizontal advection)항으로 확인되었다. 늘림(stretching)항 또한 뚜렷한 기여를 하는 것으로 확인되었다. 소용돌이도 강제에 대한 IMF의 영향이 고도 105-110km부근까지 뚜렷하게 나타남이 확인되었다.

In this study we investigate 195 spacecraft anomalies from 1998 to 2010 from Satellite News Digest (SND). We classify these data according to types of anomaly : Control, Power, Telemetry etc. We examine the association between these anomaly data and daily peak particle (electron and proton) flux data from GOES as well as their occurrence rates. To determine the association, we use two criteria that electron criterion is >10,000 pfu and proton criterion is >100 pfu. Main results from this study are as flows. First, the number of days satisfying the criteria for electron flux has a peak near a week before the anomaly day and decreases from the peak day to the anomaly day, while that for proton flux has a peak near the anomaly day. Second, we found a similar pattern for the mean daily peak particle (electron and proton) flux as a function of day before the anomaly day. Third, an examination of multiple spacecraft anomaly events, which are likely to occur by severe space weather effects, shows that anomalies mostly occur either when electron fluxes are in the declining stage, or when daily proton peak fluxes are strongly enhanced. This result is very consistent with the above statistical studies. Our results will be discussed in view of the origins of spacecraft anomaly.

A hybrid free-space-optical/radio-frequency (FSO/RF) communication system is considered, with the help of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying. We consider various weather conditions to investigate their effects on the system's performance. We begin by obtaining the cumulative distribution function and probability density function of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio for the AF dual-hop FSO communication system with RF backup link. Then, these results are used to derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average bit-error rate, and average ergodic capacity. The results show that the considered system efficiently employs the complementary nature of FSO and RF links, resulting in impressive performance improvements compared to non-hybrid systems.

Major solar eruptive events, consisting of both a large flare and a near simultaneous fast coronal mass ejection (CME), are the most powerful explosions in the solar system, releasing $10^{32}-10^{33}$ ergs in ${\sim}10^{3-4}\;s$. They are also the most powerful and energetic particle accelerators, producing ions up to tens of GeV and electrons up to hundreds of MeV. For flares, the accelerated particles often contain up to ~50% of the total energy released, a remarkable efficiency that indicates the particle acceleration is intimately related to the energy release process. Similar transient energy release/particle acceleration processes appear to occur elsewhere in the universe, in stellar flares, magnetars, etc. Escaping solar energetic particles (SEPs) appear to be accelerated by the shock wave driven by the fast CME at altitudes of ~1 40 $R_s$, with an efficiency of ~10%, about what is required for supernova shock waves to produce galactic cosmic rays. Thus, large solar eruptive events are our most accessible laboratory for understanding the fundamental physics of transient energy release and particle acceleration in cosmic magnetized plasmas. They also produce the most extreme space weather - the escaping SEPs are a major radiation hazard for spacecraft and humans in space, the intense flare photon emissions disrupt GPS and communications on the Earth, while the fast CME restructures the interplanetary medium with severe effects on the magnetospheres and atmospheres of the Earth and other planets. Here I review present observations of large solar eruptive events, and future space and ground-based measurements needed to understand the fundamental processes involved.
