국내에서 처음으로 도입한 기상 항공기에 탑재한 G-band 수증기 라디오미터(GVR) 관측으로 산출된 가강수량의 품질 관리 방법을 제안하였다. GVR 빔의 연직 최단 경로 자료만 사용하기 위해 기상 항공기의 자세 정보(pitch와 roll 각도)를 활용하였고, GVR 가강수량이 20 mm 이상의 자료를 제거하는 방법을 품질 관리에 적용하였다. GVR 가강수량 이 20 mm 이상으로 증가할 때, 웜로드(Warm load) 평균 전력과 스카이로드(Sky load) 평균 전력의 차이가 0에 가까이 수렴하는 특성을 확인하였고, 이는 COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite)의 운형, 운정고도, 운 량자료와 구름통합관측기기(CCP), 강수입자 측정기(PIP)로 측정된 강수 및 구름 입자 크기로 확인한 하층운과 중층운에의한 높은 밝기온도 때문으로 판단된다. 구름 많은 날의 품질 관리 적용 전후의 GVR 가강수량을 LDAPS (Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System) 가강수량과 정량적으로 비교하였는데 RMSD (Root Mean Square Difference)는 2.9 mm에서 1.8 mm로 감소하였고, KLAPS (Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System)와의 RMSD는 5.4 mm에서 4.3 mm로 감소하여 향상된 정확도를 보였다. 또한 품질 관리를 적용한 GVR 가강수량과 드롭존데 가강수량 관측 자료 을 활용하여 COMS 가강수량과도 정량적으로 비교평가함으로써 본 연구에서 제안한 GVR 가강수량의 품질 관리 방법 의 유효성을 확인하였다.

선박의 오염물질 배출에 대한 규제는 최근 IMO/MEPC(국제해사기구/해양환경보호위원회)를 통해서 진행 중이다. 선박오염원 에서 배출된 오염물질은 국지적인 요인에 의해서 연안지역을 비롯하여 육지로 확산될 수 있다. 인천과 같이 선박 배출 오염물질에 노출 되어 있는 항구 도시에서 선박오염원 조절은 연안지역의 대기질 관리정책을 효율적으로 고안하기 위해서 반드시 필요하다. 연안지역의 대기오염물질 중 선박에 의한 NOx와 SOx의 농도는 전체 NOx와 SOx 농도의 각각 14 %와 10 %를 차지한다(NIER, 2008). 연안도시지역의 대기질은 국지적인 순환에 의존하는 오염물질의 확산 경향과 선박의 수에 영향을 받는다. 선박오염원으로부터 배출된 오염물질의 확산 을 WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting model)의 기상장을 기초로 CALPUFF(California Puff model)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 그리고 연안도 시지역의 대기확산모델은 정박한 선박과 입·출항하는 선박으로 나누어 각각 점오염원과 선오염원으로 구분하여 모의하였다. 선박척수 82~84척을 기준으로 NOx의 총 평균 배출량은 입·출항시 각각 6.2 g/s, 6.8 g/s이었고, SOx의 총 평균 배출량은 입·출항시 각각 3.6 g/s, 5.1 g/s 이었다. 정박 중인 선박의 NOx와 SOx에 대한 총 평균 배출량은 각각 0.77 g/s, 1.93 g/s이었다. 육풍의 영향으로 인하여 인천항으로부터 내 륙으로 진행되는 오염물질의 수송이 억제되었고, 내륙의 SOx와 NOx 농도가 일시적으로 감소하는 원인이 되었다. 해풍에 의해 NOx와 SOx가 내륙으로 확산되었고, 내륙의 NOx와 SOx의 농도가 점차 증가하였다. 인천항과 인접한 지역의 오염물질의 농도는 해륙풍의 영향 보다 인천항에 정박 중인 선박오염원에 의한 영향이 더욱 크게 반영되었다. 본 연구는 연안도시지역의 대기질 정책고안과 배출기준을 정하는 것에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 3차원 바람장 생성을 위한 수치 모델의 상층기상 입력 자료로 윈드프로파일러 자료의 적용 가능성과 유용성을 조사했다. 10개 지점의 윈드프로파일러 자료와 기상 예측 모델 WRF의 결과를 기상진단 모델 CALMET에 입력하여 산출한 바람장을 8개 지역에서 관측된 라디오존데 자료와 통계적으로 비교 검증하였다. WRF 바람장 모의 결과를 CALMET에 적용하여 모의한 수평 풍속에 비해 1시간 간격의 윈드프로파일러 자료를 CALMET에 적용하여 모의한 수평 풍속이 평균 제곱근 오차 1.5 m/s 내에서 관측 결과와 일치하고 특히 연안 지역에서 해풍과 같은 국지적인 바람 변화를 잘 모의하였다. 풍향의 평균 제곱근 오차는 50° ~ 70°로써 지형의 영향으로 오염된 윈드프로파일러의 풍향 오차에 기인한다. 윈드프로파일러 자료를 CALMET에 적용하면 대부분의 고도에서 상대적으로 정확한 바람을 신속하고 정확하게 모의할 수 있기 때문에 본 연구에서 제시하는 방법은 연안 지역의 기상뿐만 아니라 안전 환경감시에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

우리나라에서 악기상으로 인한 재해 유발 가능성이 높아짐으로써, 방재 및 수자원 관리 대책이 필요하다. 국지성 강한 강우에 대한 방재를 위해서는 강우량을 정량적으로 관측 및 예측해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 레이더 강우추정 오차의 지구통계학적 유효반경을 LGC 방법에 적용하여 레이더 추정강우를 조정하는 기법을 개발하였다. 지구통계적 방법을 이용하여 레이더 강우의 실제오차에 대한 유효반경을 결정하였고, LGC 방법을 기반으로 여름철 집중호우 네 사례의 레이더 강우를 조정하였다. 여름철 집중호우 사례의 레이더 1시간 누적강우량과 총누적강우량의 오차는 조정 후 각각 약 40%와 60% 이상 개선효과를 보였다. 그러므로, 여름철 국지적으로 강한 강우 현상의 레이더강우를 예측하는데 있어서 본 연구에서 개발된 조정 알고리즘을 이용하는 것은 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

정량적인 강수량 추정은 기상학 수문학적 연구와 활용에 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 정량적 강수량 추정을 위하여 레이더 강우의 지리통계적 오차 구조 함수를 공동크리깅에 적용하여 레이더 강우강도를 조정하였다. 레이더 강우강도의 오차는 공동크리깅의 주변수로서 지상 우량계와 레이더의 강우강도의 차이로 산출되었다. 지상 우량계 강우장은 공동크리깅의 이차변수로서 정규크리깅에 의해 산출되었다. 레이더 강우강도의 오차 분포는 실험적 베리오그램으로 결정된 이론적 베리오그램을 공동크리깅에 적용하여 생성되었고, 레이더 강우강도 조정을 위하여 레이더 강우강도의 오차 분포를 레이더 강우장에 적용하였다. 본 연구의 검증을 위하여 국지적으로 호우가 발생하였던 2009년 7월 6일에서 7일까지의 강우 사례를 선정하였다. 오차가 조정된 1시간 레이더 누적강우량과 지상 우량계 누적강우량의 상관성은 조정 전에 비하여 0.55에서 0.84로 향상되었고, 평균제곱근오차는 7.45에서 3.93 mm로 조정되었다.

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.

In order to analyze the sensitivity of carbon dioxide flux by soil temperature in the grassplot, carbon dioxide flux and soil temperature were observed 24 times from March, 2010 to March, 2011 at nine sites in the grassplot. The average of CO2 in the grassplot is 2.2~36.7℃, the highest in August, the lowest in January, and the average of carbon dioxide flux is 12~1479 mgCO2·m-2·hr-1, and the carbon dioxide emission from the grassplot to the atmosphere was 10 times higher in summer than in winter. The temperature response coefficient estimated by the exponential function of carbon dioxide flux according to soil temperature was ranged from 0.1065 to 0.1274, and the increase tendency of CO2 flux with soil temperature was linear at 0~2 0℃and exponential at 20~40℃. The Q10 values for each of nine observation sites on the grassplot was in the range of 2.901 ~ 3.575, and the Q10 value using the total data observed in the lawn was estimated to be 3.374. In the homogeneous grassplot area, the average of Q10 values by observation point and the Q10 value by the total data were estimated similarly.

In this study, we analyze changes in soil heat flux and air temperature in August (summer) and January (winter) according to net radiation, at a mud flat in Hampyeong Bay. Net radiation was observed as -84.2~696.2 W/m2 in August and -79.4~352.5 W/m2 in January. Soil heat flux was observed as -80.7~139.5 Wm-2 in August and -49.09~137 W/m2 in January. Air temperature was observed as 24.2~32.9˚C in August and -1.5~11.1˚C in January. The rate of soil heat flux for net radiation (HG/RN) was 0.17 in August and 0.34 in January. Because the seasonal fluctuation in net radiation was bigger than the soil heat flux, net radiation in August was bigger than in January. We estimated a linear regression function to analyze variations in soil heat flux and air temperature by net radiation. The linear regression function and coefficient of determination for the soil heat flux by net radiation was y=0.19x-7.94, 0.51 in August, and y=0.39x-11.69, 0.81 in January. The time lag of the soil heat flux by net radiation was estimated to be within ten minutes in August 2012 and January 2013. The time lag of air temperature by net radiation was estimated at 160 minutes in August, and 190 minutes in January.

A minimum threshold for the signal to noise ratio (SNRmin) has to be set in the data processing system of wind profiler radar (WPR). The data collection rate and the accuracy of the WPR wind vector depend on the SNRmin. The WPR at Uljin is operated with an SNRmin of 1 dB which is a relatively large threshold. We found that the accuracy and the continuity of the WPR wind vector with height were directly related to the variability of the SNR and vertical gradient of the squared refractive index. We investigated a quantitative method for determining a new SNRmin for the WPR at Uljin and it was evaluated with radiosonde data. The accuracy and continuity of the wind vector from an SNR of less than 1 dB, began to decrease at an altitude of 3.5 km. Most of the SNR values were less than –3.5 dB in altitudes higher than 3.5 km. We retrieved high-accuracy wind vectors at altitudes over 3 km where measurements were deficient with an SNRmin of 1 dB.

Ground echo is radar return from stationary targets such as buildings and trees. Wind vectors from the wind profile radar in Gangneung are affected by ground echoes due to the complex mountainous terrain located to the west and the south. These ground echoes make a spurious peak close to the direct current (DC) line signal in Doppler spectra. Wind vectors polluted by ground clutters were determined from spectra of oblique beams. After eliminated the terrain echoes, the accuracy of wind vector compared with radiosonde was improved about 68.4% and its relative coefficient was increased from 0.58 to 0.97.

Spatial distribution of precipitation has been estimated based on the local gauge correction (LGC) with a fixed inverse distance weighting (IDW), which is not optimized in taking effective radius into account depending on the radar error. We developed an algorithm, improved local gauge correction (ILGC) which eliminates outlier in radar rainrate errors and optimize distance power for IDW. ILGC was statistically examined the hourly cumulated precipitation from weather for the heavy rain events. Adjusted radar rainfall from ILGC is improved to 50% compared with unadjusted radar rainfall. The accuracy of ILGC is higher to 7% than that of LGC, which resulted from a positive effect of the optimal algorithm on the adjustment of quantitative precipitation estimation from weather radar.

Wind profiler provides vertical profiles of three-dimensional wind vectors with high spatiotemporal resolution. The wind vectors is useful to analyze severe weather phenomena and to validate the various products from numerical weather prediction model. However, the wind measurements are not immune to ground clutter, bird, insect, and aircraft. Therefore, quality of wind vectors from wind profiler must be quantitatively evaluated prior to its application. In this study, wind vectors from UHF wind profiler at Ganwon Regional Meteorological Administration was quantitatively evaluated using 27 radiosonde measurements that were launched every two or three hours according to rainfall intensity during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) from June to July 2013. In comparison between two measurements, wind vectors from wind profiler was relatively underestimated. In addition, the accuracy and quality of wind vectors from wind profiler decrease with increasing beam height. The accuracy and quality of the wind vectors for rainy periods during IOP were higher than for the clear-air measurements. The moderate rainfall intensity lead to multi-peaks in Doppler spectrum. It results in overestimation of vertical air motion, whereas wind vectors from wind profilers shows good agreement with those from radiosonde measurements for light rainfall intensity.

The momentum flux and the sensible heat flux were measured with the scintillometers and ultrasonic anemometers at 6 sites of which surface characteristics like roughness length and zero-displacement are different each other. We estimated the momentum flux and the sensible heat flux based on the bulk transfer method with the drag coefficient and the heat transfer coefficient calculated from the temperature and wind speed at two heights. The variation of bulk transfer coefficients showed a remarkable difference depending on the atmospheric stability which is less influenced by the zero-displacement than the roughness length. The estimated sensible heat fluxes were in good agreement with those measured at 3 m, showing 23.7 Wm-2 of the root mean square error that is less than 10% of its maximum. Since the estimated momentum flux is not only effected by drag coefficient but also by wind speed square, the determination of wind speed in the bulk transfer method is critical.

In this study, the variations of the carbon dioxide fluxes were investigated with soil temperatures in the grassplot and seasonal variations of carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes were analysed. Soil temperatures, carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes were measured on the grassplot in Pukyong National University. Field measurements were carried out 25 times from March in 2010 to March in 2011 with nine points on the grassplot. Seasonal variations of carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes showed an inverse relation. In summer, carbon dioxide concentrations are lower and carbon dioxide fluxes are higher. In winter, carbon dioxide concentrations are higher and carbon dioxide fluxes are lower. On the grassplot, carbon dioxide emission rate increase when the soil temperature is more than 20℃ and the emission rate decrease when the soil temperatures are less than 10℃. When the accumulated rainfall for five days before measurement day is 20~100 mm, it is showed that the more rainfall, the more carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide emission rate from the grassplot to the upper atmosphere was increased or decreased by the factors such as soil temperature, growth and wither of grass and rainfall. The results of this study showed that the emission of carbon dioxide in the grassplot is dominantly controlled by seasonal factors (especially soil temperature and rainfall).

In this study, before and after sunset carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature were observed in two points of atmosphere (lower observation point of the GL + 0.1 m, the upper observation point of GL + 1.0 m) on the foreshore at located in Suncheon Bay and their variations were analyzed. Observation was performed on the foreshore on 2~4 August 2010. Instrument (VAISALA, GMP343) was set two hours before sunset and then observation was made continuously for six hours. In three days, observed carbon dioxide concentration was 375~419 ppm, and the air temperature was in the range of 28.7~32. 5℃. The average concentration of carbon dioxide was 388~399 ppm in the upper observation point and 386~396 ppm in the lower observation point. It was higher in the upper observation point and its fluctuations were similar in two observation points. Correlation coefficients between carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature in the upper observation point were in the range of –0.64~–0.88, and were calculated –0.65 to -0.90 in the lower observation point. For the carbon dioxide concentration, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.98 in three times. For the air temperature, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.97 and 0.99. In the same observation time, the slope of the linear regression function as carbon dioxide concentration in the lower observation point for the upper observation point was in the range of 0.97~1.01. Carbon dioxide concentration was slightly higher in the upper observation point. Because carbon dioxide in the lower observation point was closer on the surface of the foreshore and absorbed from atmosphere to the foreshore. In this study, it was showed that the vertical variation of carbon dioxide concentration was insignificant in the several meter scale of atmosphere on the surface of the foreshore.

This research investigated to reduce mass of heavy metals in AMD(acid mine drainage) by microbial mats formed on the channel bed. As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn components were monitored in water and microbial mats, at three points (AMD1, AMD2 and AMD3), in a total of six times. Average daily discharge mass of heavy metals was highest in July, Fe component contained more than 76% of total discharge mass. Discharge mass of heavy metals of AMD and heavy metal contents in microbial mats decreased with downstream at channel. Heavy metal components that average daily discharge mass is over 0.5 kg were Fe, Cu and Zn, and they were highest in July. Average removal efficiency of heavy metals in AMD was highest about 21% in Fe, this microbial mats were due to form from precipitation of Fe component in AMD by aerobic iron bacteria. Relative content for As component in microbial mats than AMD was over 16 times, this As components were due to absorb at iron oxide and iron hydroxide on the surface of microbial mats.

For this research, they were monitored CO2 flux and environmental factors (CO2 concentration, soil temperature, soil moisture, soil organic carbon, soil pH, soil Eh) in foreshore, paddy field and woods sites at the winter season (January 2009) and the summer season (September 2009). Seasonal and spatial variations for monitored data were analyzed, and linear regression functions of CO2 flux as environmental factors were estimated. CO2 fluxes averaged between surface and atmosphere monitored in foreshore and paddy field at the winter season were shown -8 mgCO2m-2hr-1 and -25 mgCO2m-2hr-1, respectively. CO2 fluxes averaged between surface and atmosphere monitored in foreshore and paddy field at the summer season were shown 47 mgCO2m-2hr-1 and 117 mgCO2m-2hr-1, respectively. Thus, CO2 was sunk from atmosphere to surface at the winter season and it was emitted from surface to atmosphere at the summer season. CO2 fluxes in woods site were emitted 145 mgCO2m-2hr-1 at the winter season and 279 mgCO2m-2hr-1 at the summer season.

Actual evapotranspiration (AET) in the Suyeong-gu was estimated and correlations between AET and meteorological factors were analyzed. The study area was Suyeong-gu lay at the east longitude 129° 05′40″∼ 129° 08′08″ and north latitude 35° 07′59″∼ 35° 11′01″. The Kumryun mountain, the Bae mountain, the Suyeong river and the Suyeong bay are located on west, north, northeaster and south side in the study area, respectively. AET was estimated using precipitation (P), potential evapotranspiration (PET) and plant-available water coefficient. Meteorological factors to estimate PET were air temperature, dewpoint temperature, atmospheric pressure, duration of sunshine and mean wind speed (MWS). PET and AET were estimated by a method of Allen et al. (1998) and Zhang et al. (2001), respectively. PET was the highest value (564.45 mm/yr) in 2002 year, while it was the lowest value (449.95 mm/yr) in 2003 year. AET was estimated highest value (554.14 mm/yr) in 2002 year and lowest value (427.91 mm/yr) in 2003 year. Variations of PET and AET were similar. The linear regression function of AET as PET using monthly data was and coefficient of determination was high, 0.75. In order to analyze relationship between the evapotranspiration and meteorological factors, correlation analysis using monthly data were accomplished. Correlation coefficient of AET-PET was 0.96 high, but they of AET-P and PET-P were very low. Correlation coefficients of AET-MWS and PET-MWS were 0.67 and 0.73, respectively. Thus, correlation between evapotranspiration and MWS was the highest among meteorological factors in Suyong-gu. This means that meteorological factor to powerfully effect for the variation of evapotranspiration was MWS. The linear regression function of AET as MWS was and coefficient of determination was 0.54. The linear regression function of PET as MWS was and coefficient of determination was 0.45.

This paper was studied CO2 respiration rate with physicochemical properties of soils at wetland, paddy field and forest in Nongju-ri, Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon city, Jeollanam-do. Soil temperature and CO2 respiration rate were measured at the field, and soil pH, moisture and soil organic carbon were analyzed in laboratory. Field monitoring was conducted at 6 points (W3, W7, W13, W17, W23, W27) for wetland, 3 points (P1, P2, P3) for paddy field and 3 points (F1, F2, F3) for forest in 10 January 2009. CO2 concentrations in chamber were measured 352∼382 ppm for wetland, 364∼382 ppm for paddy field and 379∼390 ppm for forest, and the average values were 370 ppm, 370 ppm and 385 ppm, respectively. CO2 respiration rates of soils were measured -73∼44 mg/㎡/hr for wetland, -74∼24 mg/㎡/hr for paddy field and -55∼106 mg/㎡/hr for forest, and the average values were -8 mg/㎡/hr, -25 mg/㎡/hr and 38 mg/㎡/hr. CO2 was uptake from air to soil in wetland and paddy field, but it was emission from soil to air in forest. CO2 respiration rate function in uptake condition increased exponential and linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. But, it in emission condition decreased linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. CO2 respiration rate function in wetland decreased linear as soil moisture, but its in paddy and forest increased linear as soil moisture. CO2 respiration rate function in all sites increased linear as soil pH, and increasing rate at forest was highest.
