In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of climate variability in summer rainfall during Changma over three sub-sector regions (Middle, Southern, Jeju) in South Korea for the new climatological period of 1991- 2020 using observation data from 60 ASOS stations. There was a significant interannual variability in rainfall, wet days, and rainfall intensity but the long-term trend of rainfall was not significant over the three sectors in South Korea. Comparing the new climatology (P2: 1991-2020) with the old one (P1: 1981-2010), it was found that the precipitation during Changma in new climatology (P2) was enhanced in Middle sector but reduced in Southern and Jeju sectors. In P2, wet days increased only a few stations in the Middle sector but the rainfall intensity was strengthened over the 50% stations including Middle sector, south and west coast of the Southern sector. Wet days above 25, 50, 75, 95%ile rainfall during Changma in Southern and Jeju sectors all decreased in P2. Climatological change from P1 to P2 showed a large variability not only in temporal frame but also in the spatial distribution in South Korea.

The purpose of this study is to examine the trends of extreme temperature events in East Asia over the past 40 years (1979-2018) and their potential relationships with recent changes in the Northern Hemisphere cryosphere. Analyses of Sen’s slope and Mann-Kendall tests are performed for time series data of extreme temperature events extracted from NCEP-DOE reanalysis II Gaussian grid daily 2-m air temperature data. As the result, it is found that extreme high temperature events exceeding the 99th percentile show more noticeable increasing trends than the magnitude of the decreasing extreme low temperature events below the 1st percentile particularly in Mongolia, Korean Peninsula and southern China due to unexpected cold events since the late 2000s. Correlation analyses based on Kendall’s tau indicate that the reduction of spring-early summer Eurasian snow cover (data from Rutgers University Global Snow Lab.) may lead to the increasing tendency of extreme high temperature events in East Asia through snow albedo feedbacks, while paradoxically the reducing autumn-early winter Arctic sea ice (data from NSIDC) due to global warming seems to cause more frequent extreme low temperature events in recent years through the amplification of Rossby waves. Thus, it is needed to continue monitoring the feedbacks between changing Arctic cryosphere and East Asian climate systems in the warmer 21st century.

The increased frequency and intensity of wildfires can cause damages to the ecosystem and the atmospheric environment. Rapid identification of the wildfire damages is also important for establishing forest restoration, budget planning, and human resources allocation. Because the wildfires need to be examined for vast areas, satellite remote sensing has been adopted as an effective method. Many studies for the detection of wildfires and the analysis of burn severity have been conducted using mid- and high-resolution images. However, they had difficulties in the sensitivity problem of NBR (Normalized Burn Ratio) for multi-temporal images. This paper describes the feasibility of the detection and classification of wildfire burn severity using Sentinel-2 images with K-means and ISODATA (Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Techniques Algorithm) methods for a case of the Andong fire in April 2020. The result can be a reference to the appropriate classification of large-scale wildfire severity and decision-making for forest restoration planning.

Typhoons are a major threat to Korea and many parts of the world. Typhoons can cause loss of life, damage to buildings, industry and infrastructure. In order to objectively and quantitatively assess the risk presented by typhoons and other natural hazards, catastrophe models are often used, especially in the insurance industry. Catastrophe models determine the probability of occurrence of natural hazards at target locations, along with associated damage and other impacts. Catastrophe models can also be designed to estimate the financial cost of the natural hazard. As Korea’s insurance industry develops and grows, catastrophe models focused on Korea will be needed. We have initiated a project to develop a catastrophe model for Korea. The first phase of this project is to develop the natural hazard component which estimates the probability of storm tracks and associated wind speeds impacting the Korean peninsula and islands. We discuss a preliminary prototype of natural hazard component of the model in this paper.

This study is about the change of Inuit traditional culture. Inuit has their specific culture due to the Arctic’s harsh environment. But recently, because of the climate change and newcomers, traditional culture has changed. Hunting, the base of Inuit’s traditional culture decreased and was getting hard. And shelter and transportation for hunting has been modified. According to the change of hunting, food and adoption culture also changed. Inuit is in a situation to consume junk food and processed food instead of fresh food. Those food induce many problems to Inuit including health. And Inuit trade the food, not share. It means the community spirit weakened. Reduction of the importance of IQ (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit) and the role of the senior also contributes to the weakening of community spirit. Inuit adopt non-Inuit child and adopt the child according to the law. It makes Inuit difficult to adopt child. As a result, climate change and newcomers makes today’s Inuit culture. Therefore, we have to know climate change and newcomers to understand the culture of the Arctic and residents.
