도내 중산간지대 농업개발 지원을 위해 필요한 기후자료를 수집하고 수집된 자료로부터 농업기후지수의 하나인 증발산위를 계산하는 과정에 대하여 연구하였다. 섬의 동쪽과 서쪽 중산간지대 기후를 대표할 수 있는 두 지점에 무인관칙소를 설치하고 퍼스컴통신 기술을 이용해 일사, 기온, 지온, 습도, 풍향, 풍속 및 항수자료를 수집하였다. 1989년 6월 한달간 수집된 자료를 이용해 두 지점간 일기상 특성을 분석하였으며, Penman식에 의해 증발산위값을 추정하였다. 상대적으로 풍부한 순폭사에너지와 남서기류에 의한 Fohn현상에 의해 섬의 동쪽 중산간지대가 서쪽에 비해 1-2도 가량 높은 기온을 유지하였다. 지온은 두 지점간에 차이가 없었으며 최고 및 최저온도 출현시각은 기온에 비해 4시간 지연되었다. 바람은 서쪽에서 강했으며 주야간 해륙풍 순환 현상도 동쪽에 비해 뚜렷하였다. 계산된 증발산위값은 동쪽이 서쪽에 비해 6% 높았으며 해안지대 추정값에 비해 30% 가량 높았다.

Weather data acquisition and potential evapotranspiration (PET) calculation procedure were investigated to support the agricultural development efforts in the mid-altitude mountainous region of Cheju Island. Automated weather stations (AWS) were installed at two points representing the east and the west of the study area. A personal computer was employed to collect the near-real time weather data from AWS through the public telephone line. Hourly data were available for solar radiation, air and soil temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. Based on the data for the month of June 1989, daily climatic features were comparatively analyzed for the two areas and the Penman equation was used to calculate PET. Air temperature was higher by 1 to 2 degree C in the east due mainly to the higher solar radiation and partly to the Fohn effect caused by the daytime southwesterly blowing over Mt. Halla. Diurnal march of soil temperature lagged by 4 hours behind that of air temperature and the diurnal range for 10cm subsurface soil was 3 degree C. Wind was consistently stronger and a marked sea-land breeze circulation was detected in the west. Calculated PET values were higher in the east by 6% than in the west. Overall values from the east and the west of the mid-altitude mountainous region were higher by 30% than those of the coastal region, which were estimated from the Class A Pan evaporation measured by the Korea Meteorological Service Offices.
