We analyze the observations of temperature and ozone measured by the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) during the period of 2005-2016, to investigate the vertical structures of temperature and ozone in the stratosphere and mesosphere during stratospheric sudden warming (SSW). We compute the height profiles of the correlation coefficients between 55 height levels of MLS temperature anomalies and compare them with the results of Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model simulations for three major SSWs. We also construct the temperature and ozone anomalies for the events to investigate the changes in the temperature and ozone distributions with height. There seems to always be a relatively weak but broad negative correlation between the temperature anomaly at 10 hPa and temperature anomalies over the entire mesosphere during the period before SSW events. However, this pattern gets stronger in the lower mesosphere but becomes a positive correlation in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere after the onset of SSW. We also found that the temperatures from the simulations show a similar trend to the observational results but with smaller variations and the transition height from negative to positive correlation in the mesosphere is much lower in the simulation than in the actual observations.

Decomposition of ozone at room temperature was investigated comparatively with commercial monolithic ozone decomposition catalyst (ODC, $MnO_2$) and monolithic photo catalyst ($TiO_2$). The effects of residence time, UV (ultraviolet) light dependence and ozone concentration on the conversion was presented. UV ray was irradiated using BLB (black light blue) lamp ($315{\sim}400$ nm), supplied with a constant intensity in the reactor. The concentration of ozone in the square-shape reactor can be controlled by combining the DBD (dielectric barrier discharge) reactor with an AC high voltage supply system. The catalytic performance, in presence of UV irradiation did not show significant changes for $MnO_2$ catalyst. $TiO_2$ catalyst was the different case, which showed higher decomposition activity in presence of UV irradiation. Deactivation of catalyst detected by real-time ozone monitor for 120 hours with a constant inlet ozone concentration.

This study was designed to elucidate the effect of ozone exposure on the bacteria counts and oxidative properties of ground Hanwoo beef contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 at refrigeration temperature. Ground beef was inoculated with 7 Log CFU/g of E. coli O157:H7 isolated from domestic pigs and was then subjected to ozone exposure ($10{\times}10^{-6}kg\;O_3h^{-1}$) at $4^{\circ}C$ for 3 d. E. coli O157:H7, total aerobic and anaerobic bacterial growth and oxidative properties including instrumental color changes, TBARS, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity were evaluated. Ozone exposure significantly prohibited (p<0.05) the growths of E. coli O157:H7, total aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in ground beef samples during storage. Ozone exposure reduced (p<0.05) the CIE $a^*$ value of samples over storage time. The CIE $L^*$ and CIE $b^*$ values of the samples fluctuated over storage time, and ozone had no clear effect. Ozone exposure increased the TBARS values during 1 to 3 d of storage (p<0.05). The CAT and GPx enzyme activities were not affected by ozone exposure until 2 and 3 d of storage, respectively. This study provides information about the use of ozone exposure as an antimicrobial agent for meat under refrigerated storage. The results of this study provide a foundation for the further application of ozone exposure by integrating an ozone generator inside a refrigerator. Further studies regarding the ozone concentrations and exposure times are needed.

The concentration levels of monoterpenes, including ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-pinene, were measured in a pine forest in Florida, USA, over about one year. Based on this measurement data, the current study then investigated the factors affecting the environmental behavior of monoterpenes. Despite a moderately weak temperature variability in the study area, the temperature dependence of the concentration variations was still evident. The concentrations of the two pinenes were significantly affected by changes in the air temperature, as indicated by strong correlations with temperature. A close relation among the measured parameters was also found between the ${\beta}$-pinene and ozone concentrations, which is also in line with previous findings from other studies. In addition, it was interesting to note that the ${\beta}$/${\alpha}$ pinene concentration ratio exhibited a strong inverse correlation to temperature, with the seasonal mean ranging from 0.51(summer) to 0.93(winter). Accordingly, the current results indicate that, in a forest environment, the major terpene species concentrations are affected by both meteorological conditions and chemical reactions.

Major trends of ozone concentration variations in Korea were investigated by using observation data from around 100 stations for the period of 1991∼1997. In addition, important regulating those variations were inferred. Three measures such as the number of days exceeding 80ppb, the 95th percentile of daily maxima, and the annual average concentration were used for the analysis of multi-scale ozone concentration variations. Three areas in the southwest (Sosan, Mokpo, and Cheju) of which monitoring has been operated since 1995 showed the highest annual average concentrations over; this was noted because of the high annual average in the Yosu area in the early 1990s. Large increases in annual average concentrations were observed along the relatively cleaner areas connecting Kangnung and Kwangju(northeast to southwest), in contrast to polluted areas connecting Seoul and Pusan(northeast to southeast). Both the number of exceedance days and the daily maximum concentration were nearly constant in the Greater Seoul Area in spite of interannual flucturations associated with year-to-year changes in air temperature. Within the Greater Seoul Area, all three measures usually showed the same trend; they decreased in the middle and west and increased in the east and northeast. All three measures including the number of exceedance days increased largely at Sillim where the average concentration was high but no exceedance days were recorded in the early 1999s, Nationwide ozone concentration variations appear to be determined by the competitive influence of long-range transport and local urban emissions, Within the city including the Greater Seoul Area, changes in emission which accompany changes in population and in the number if vehicles ( in the process of urban development) were found to be important components of ozone concentration variations.

In this study, the impacts of local meteorology caused by tidal changes in the West Sea on ozone distributions in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) were analyzed using a meteorological model (WRF) and an air quality (CMAQ) model. This study was carried out during the day (1200-1800 LST) between August 3 and 9, 2016. The total area of tidal flats along with the tidal changes was calculated to be approximately $912km^2$, based on data provided by the Environmental Geographic Information Service (EGIS) and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF). Modeling was carried out based on three experiments, and the land cover of the tidal flats for each experiment was designed using the coastal wetlands, water bodies (i.e., high tide), and the barren or sparsely vegetated areas (i.e., low tide). The land cover parameters of the coastal wetlands used in this study were improved in the herbaceous wetland of the WRF using updated albedo, roughness length, and soil heat capacity. The results showed that the land cover variation during high tide caused a decrease in temperature (maximum $4.5^{\circ}C$) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) height (maximum 1200 m), and an increase in humidity (maximum 25%) and wind speed (maximum $1.5ms^{-1}$). These meteorological changes increased the ozone concentration (about 5.0 ppb) in the coastal areas including the tidal flats. The increase in the ozone concentration during high tide may be caused by a weak diffusion to the upper layer due to a decrease in the PBL height. The changes in the meteorological variables and ozone concentration during low tide were lesser than those occurring during high tide. This study suggests that the meteorological variations caused by tidal changes have a meaningful effect on the ozone concentration in the SMA.

이 연구는 남극에서 일어나는 지구온난현상, 오존층 파괴, 엘니뇨-남방진동 같은 지구의 환경변화와 관련이 있는 현상들을 정리한 것이다. 빙벽이 후퇴하고 빙붕이 갈라지는 현상은 지구환경변화, 그 가운데서도 최근 들어 심해진 지구온난현상을 반영한다. 또 서남극 남극반도에서 떨어진 남쉐틀랜드군도 킹조지 섬의 마리안 소만의 빙벽이 1956년부터 38년 동안에 후퇴한 것보다 최근 1994년부터 7년 동안에 더 많이 후퇴했다. 또한 세종기지에서 엘니뇨-남방진동과 관련된 기온과 강수량의 변화가 나타났다. 나아가 인공위성 자료 분석 결과, 세종기지가 있는 지역에서도 성층권의 오존층 파괴가 심한 남극 9월과 10월에 평균 오존전량이 감소하고 지상에 도달하는 자외선이 증가하였음을 확인하였다. 남극 오존층 파괴로 인한 자외선의 증가는 해양생물의 성장 환경을 변화시킨다. 또 남극생물의 생산력, 생물량, 종 조성의 변화를 일으키며, 자외선은 일차생산자인 식물플랑크톤 세포의 생리, 유전, 생태변화를 일으켜 남극 해양생태계 전체를 변화시킨다. 현재부터 42만 년 전까지 네 번의 빙하계(氷河階)를 밝힌 보스토크호수의 얼음연구 결과를 훑어보았다. 우리나라는 남극대륙을 덮는 빙원의 굴착과 해석, 빙원 아래에 있는 지역의 지질연구 같은 남극본연의 연구를 하기위하여 남극대륙을 연구해야겠다. 고층대기과학을 포함한 대기과학도 당연히 연구해야 한다.

기후-전구대기화학모델을 이용하여 엘니뇨가 대류권 오존에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 40년간(1971-2010) 대류권 오존을 EOF 분석한 결과에서 열대 중앙-동태평양에서 오존의 감소가 관측과 유사하게 잘 모의되었다. 그러나 인도양-인도네시아 부근의 오존 증가는 관측에 비해 약하게 모의되었다. 엘니뇨에 의한 오존변동 과정을 이해하기 위하여 2006년 엘니뇨의 경우를 좀 더 자세히 분석하였다. 엘니뇨의 발생 시 중앙-동태평양의 오존 감소는 활발해진 상승운동과 그에 따른 수증기량 증가로 오존의 체류시간이 짧아졌음에 기인하였다. 해수면 온도 강제력으로 유도된 하강기류 편차와 수증기 감소로 인도양 대류권 상층 오존이 증가하였다.

Using gas chromatography, the light hydrocarbon emissions were analyzed from SI engine fueled with methane and liquified petroleum gas(LPG), and the effects of fuel and engine operating condition were discussed. For this purpose, 14 species of light hydrocarbon including 1, 3-butadiene were separated, calibrated with standard gas, and measured from undiluted emissions. The brake specific hydrocarbon emission(BSHC) and ozone forming potential(BSO)3 were calculated and discussed with the changes of fuel, engine speed, load, fuel/air equivalence ratio, coolant temperature, and spark timing. As a result, exhaust emission was composed of mainly fuel composed of mainly fuel comp- onent and other olefin components of similar carbon number. The olefin components such as ethylene and propylene determine most of the ozone forming potential. The fraction of fuel component in total hydrocarbon emission was bigger with methane fuel than with LPG fuel. Also fuel fraction increased at high speed or high speed or high temperature of exhaust gas, and to lesser extent with high coolant temperature and retarded spark. However, the effect of equivalence ratio had different tendency according to fuels.
