The influences of ice microphysical processes on urban heat island-induced convection and precipitation are numerically investigated using a cloud-resolving model (ARPS). Both warm- and cold-cloud simulations show that the downwind upward motion forced by specified low-level heating, which is regarded as representing an urban heat island, initiates moist convection and results in downwind precipitation. The surface precipitation in the cold-cloud simulation is produced earlier than that in the warm-cloud simulation. The maximum updraft is stronger in the cold-cloud simulation than in the warm-cloud simulation due to the latent heat release by freezing and deposition. The outflow formed in the boundary layer is cooler and propagates faster in the cold-cloud simulation due mainly to the additional cooling by the melting of falling hail particles. The removal of the specified low-level heating after the onset of surface precipitation results in cooler and faster propagating outflow in both the warm- and cold-cloud simulations.

This study classified heavy rain types from K-means clustering for the hourly relationship between rainfall intensity and cloud top height over the Korean peninsula, and then examined their statistical characteristics for the period of June~August 2013~2018. Total rainfall amount of warm-type events was 2.65 times larger than that of the cold-type, whereas the lightning frequency divided by total rainfall for the warm-type was only 46% of the cold-type. Typical cold-type cases exhibited high cloud top height around 16 km, large reflectivity in the upper layer, and frequent lightning flashes under convectively unstable condition. Phenomenally, the cold-type cases corresponded to cloud cluster or multi-cell thunderstorms. However, two warm-type cases related to Changma and typhoon were characterized by heavy rainfall due to long duration, relatively low cloud top height and upper-level reflectivity, and the absence of lightning under the convectively neutral and extremely humid conditions. This study further confirmed that the forecast skill of rainfall could be improved by applying correction factor with the overestimation for cold-type and underestimation for warm-type cases in the Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System (LDAPS) operational model (e.g., BIAS score was improved by 5%).

구름씨뿌리기 방법에 의한 안개조절의 가능성을 파악하기 위해 대관령 산악지역의 구름특성을 분석하였다. 구름씨뿌리기에 의한 안개조절은 흡습성 물질을 이용한 온안개 소산에 집중되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 관측된 안개의 특성을 통계적으로 분석하고 이에 대해 논의하였다. 안개의 대부분은 여름철에 발생한 온안개이고 6시전 이른 아침에 발생하여 7시${\sim}$9시 소산되는 특성을 보인다. 봄철과 겨울철에는 AgI시딩에 적합한 동풍계열의 냉안개가 발생한다. 이 결과로부터 안개소산에 적합한 구름씨뿌리기방법과 물질을 추론할 수 있으며 이는 실제 냉안개와 온안개 실험에 적용할 수 있다.

To understand the characteristics of low-level clouds (CLs), environmental variables are composited on each CL using individual surface observations and six-hourly upper-air meteorologies around the globe. Individual CLs has its own distinct environmental conditions. Over the eastern subtropical and western North Pacific Ocean in JJA, stratocumulus (CL5) has a colder sea surface temperature (SST), stronger and lower inversion, and more low-level cloud amount (LCA) than the climatology whereas cumulus (CL12) has the opposite characteristics. Over the eastern subtropical Pacific, CL5 and CL12 are influenced by cold and warm advection within the PBL, respectively but have similar cold advection over the western North Pacific. This indicates that the fundamental physical process distinguishing CL5 and CL12 is not the horizontal temperature advection but the interaction with the underlying sea surface, i.e., the deepening-decoupling of PBL and the positive feedback between shortwave radiation and SST. Over the western North Pacific during JJA, sky-obscuring fog (CL11), no low-level cloud (CL0), and fair weather stratus (CL6) are associated with anomalous warm advection, surface-based inversion, mean upward flow, and moist mid-troposphere with the strongest anomalies for CL11 followed by CL0. Over the western North Pacific during DJF, bad weather stratus (CL7) occurs in the warm front of the extratropical cyclone with anomalous upward flow while cumulonimbus (CL39) occurs on the rear side of the cold front with anomalous downward flow. Over the tropical oceans, CL7 has strong positive (negative) anomalies of temperature in the upper troposphere (PBL), relative humidity, and surface wind speed in association with the mesoscale convective system while CL12 has the opposite anomalies and CL39 is in between.

구름과 에어로졸의 상호 작용은 기후 시스템에서 중요한 강제력 메커니즘 중 하나로 알려져 있지만, 에어로졸 변화가 구름의 양과 수명에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 서로 일치하지 않는 연구결과를 보이고 있다. 더구나 구름과 강수에 대한 에어로졸 효과는 기상요인으로부터 발생하는 효과와 쉽게 분리되지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 구름두께(H), 액체수함량(Liquid water path, LWP)과 같은 구름 거시물리 인자들이 강수에 미치는 영향을 최소화한 상태에서, 에어로졸 농도 변화가 강수변화에 미치는 영향을 기술하는, 강수민감도($S_o$)에 대한 연구를 살펴보았다. 구름 두께가 얇거나 구름이 포함하고 있는 액체수함량이 작을 경우 에어로졸 농도가 증가하여도 강수율에는 변화가 없었다. 그러나 구름 두께나 액체수함량이 중간 정도인 경우에는 에어로졸 농도가 증가할수록 강수량이 감소한다. 이것은 대기 중에 존재하는 에어로졸이 구름씨앗으로 작용하여 수많은 작은 크기의 구름입자를 생성하여, 강수로 이어지는 충돌 병합과정을 억제하기 때문이다. 구름두께나 액체수함량이 큰 경우에는 대기 중에 이미 충분한 수분이 존재하여, LWP 또는 H가 증가할수록 강수민감도는 감소한다. 이러한 LWP 또는 H 영역에 따른 강수민감도 변화특성은 구름 속에서 작용하는 우세한 구름물리 과정에 따라 다르게 나타난다.

Cloud-aerosol interactions are one of the paramount but least understood forcing factors in climate systems. Generally, an increase in the concentration of aerosols increases the concentration of cloud droplet numbers, implying that clouds tend to persist for longer than usual, suppressing precipitation in the warm boundary layer. The cloud lifetime effect has been the center of discussion in the scientific community, partly because of the lack of cloud life cycle observations and partly because of cloud problems. In this study, the precipitation susceptibility (S_o) matrix was employed to estimate the aerosols' effect on precipitation, while the non-aerosol effect is minimized. The S_o was calculated for the typical coupled, well-mixed maritime stratocumulus decks and giant cloud condensation nucleus (GCCN) seeded clouds. The GCCN-artificially introduced to the marine stratocumulus cloud decks-is shown to initiate precipitation and reduces S_o to approximately zero, demonstrating the cloud lifetime hypothesis. The results suggest that the response of precipitation to changes in GCCN must be considered for accurate prediction of aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction by model studies

We focus on two Galactic molecular clouds that are located in wholly different environments and both are observed by FIMS instrument onboard STSAT-1. The Draco cloud is known as a translucent molecular cloud at high Galactic latitude. The FUV spectra show important ionic lines of C IV, Si IV+O IV], Si II* and Al II, indicating the existence of hot and warm interstellar gases in the region. The enhanced C IV emission inside the Draco cloud region is attributable to the turbulent mixing of the interacting cold and warm/hot media, which is supported by the detection of the O III] emission line and the $H{\alpha}$ feature in this region. The Si II* emission covers the remainder of the region outside the Draco cloud, in agreement with previous observations of Galactic halos. Additionally, the H2 fluorescent map is consistent with the morphology of the atomic neutral hydrogen and dust emission of the Draco cloud. In the Aquila Rift region near Galactic plane, FIMS observed that the FUV continuum emission from the core of the Aquila Rift suffers heavy dust extinction. The entire field is divided into three sub-regions that are known as the- "halo," "diffuse," and "star-forming" regions. The "diffuse" and "star-forming" regions show various prominent H2 fluorescent emission lines, while the "halo" region indicates the general ubiquitous characteristics of H2. The CLOUD model and the FUV line ratio are included here to investigate the physical conditions of each sub-region. Finally, the development of an infrared imaging system known as the MIRIS instrument onboard STSAT-3 is briefly introduced. It can be used in WIM studies through $Pa{\alpha}$ observations.

구름이 유입하는 경우 해양대기경계층의 발달을 분석하기 위하여, 울릉도에서 관측한 레윈존데 자료와 AWS 자료, 위성사진, 동해에 설치된 부이 자료를 이용하였다. 이 자료를 이용하여 열의 이류와 표층 열속, 구름 유입에 따른 복사에너지를 추정하였다. 혼합층 내의 열 변화 및 혼합층의 발달을 표층 열속과 구름에 의한 장파복사속으로 설명하였다. 열속의 변화를 알아보기 위해 벌크법을 이용하였다. 울릉도, 동해상의 부이, 포항에서 관측한 자료를 이용한 열수지 방정식으로 대기경계층의 열보존 관계를 분석하였다. 구름의 유입으로 인해 일몰 후 지면의 복사냉각이 방해되고, 구름에서 장파복사가 방출된다. 그로 인해 야간에 오히려 기온이 증가하였다. 또 남서쪽으로부터 따뜻한 공기가 이류되어, 하층 대기의 온도를 증가시켰다. 이러한 이유로 혼합층이 파괴되지 않고, 잔류층을 형성하며 남아있었다.

Airborne in-situ measurements of aerosol/cloud number concentrations were analyzed to investigate the effects of aerosols on warm cloud formation in the Pacific Dust Experiment (PACDEX) during April and May 2007. In the air masses originating from the Asian continent, high concentrations of fine particles including black carbon (BC) were observed when compared to other regions. A strong correlation (r=0.88) between condensation nuclei (CN) having sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mm ($CN_{0.1-1.0}$) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) at 0.4% supersaturation ($CCN_{0.4%}$) suggests that most of the $CN_{0.1-1.0}$ can contribute to cloud formation. The possibility of a cloud droplet formation by BC particles was expected at the high water vapor mixing ratio (WVMR) and the abundance of water-soluble components at the low altitude less than 3 km.

In this study, we investigated the optimal meteorological conditions for cloud seeding using aircraft over the Korean Peninsula. The weather conditions were analyzed using various data sources such as a weather chart, upper air observation, aircraft observation, and a numerical model for cloud seeding experiments conducted from 2018 to 2019 by the National Institute of Meteorological Sciences, Korea Meteorological Administration. Cloud seeding experiments were performed in the seasons of autumn (37.0%) and winter (40.7%) in the West Sea and Gangwon-do. Silver iodide (70.4%) and calcium chloride (29.6%) were used as cloud seeding materials for the experiments. The cloud seeding experiments used silver iodide in cold clouds. Aircraft observation revealed relatively low temperatures, low liquid water content, and strong wind speeds in clouds with a weak updraft. In warm clouds, the cloud seeding experiments used calcium chloride. Observations included relatively high temperatures, high liquid water content, and weak wind speeds in clouds with a weak updraft. Based upon these results, we determined the comprehensive meteorological conditions for cloud seeding experiments using aircraft over the Korean Peninsula. The understanding of optimal weather conditions for cloud seeding gained from this study provide information critical for performing successful cloud seeding and rain enhancement.
