복잡한 산악지형과 숲이 있는 나로 우주센터의 미규모 바람장을 MUKLIMO를 사용하여 모의하였다. 지형과 나무가 있을 때 모델의 민감도를 실험하기 위하여 각종 초기조건하에 수치모의를 수행하였다. 실험결과 나무는 평지 위에 서는 큰 영향을 미치나 언덕지형에서는 큰 영향을 미치지 못함을 알았다. 이러한 실험결과를 이용하여 나로 우주센터의 10m 상공에서의 미규모 바람장과 또, 발사장의 건설전후의 바람장도 모의하였다. 본 연구결과 MUKLIMO는 복접한 지형에서도 바람장의 수치모의가 가능하며 매우 유용함을 알았고 우주센터에서의 바람의 특성이 규명되었다.

자동기상관측장비인 AWS(Automatic Weather System)는 교육기관 뿐만아니라 정부 산하 각 지방 도시에 많이 설치되어있다. 그러나 많은 AWS중 실시간으로 웹을 통해 제공되는 기상 정보는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 AWS에서 전송되어 오는 데이터를 실시간으로 자동 저장할 수 있도록 하여 실시간으로 디스플레이하고 자료 처리를 하여 교육적으로 활용하고자 하였다. 데이터의 실시간 디스플레이 및 자료 처리를 위해 몇 가지 가능성을 검토했으며 그 가능성을 통해 이를 실현하고자 일차적으로 KNU Weather now, V1.0를 개발하였다. 이 작업의 결과로 지금까지 AWS의 자료를 불러와 사용하기 위해 해오던 불편한 작업이 어느 정도 해소되었고 다시 이를 재가공해 외부에 서비스는 물론, 부가적으로 AWS 관측데이터를 필요로 하는 여러 작업에 이용할 수 있고 또한 데이터 처리 부분의 추가로 여러 통계자료를 가공해 낼 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구는 AWS의 교육적 활용에 중점을 두고 이루어졌으며 간편하고 실용적인 면에서 매우 유용하리라 생각된다.

The secular and seasonal variations of visibility of 24 cities in Korea are studied statistically from 1973 to 1986. The geographical distributions of annual change patterns of visibility are also studied by means of their characteristical variations. The secular variations of visibility show that annual totals of poor visibility($lt;10㎞) days increase significantly, while that of good visibility ($gt;30㎞) days decrease remarkably. Such tendencies are quite reversal to those appearing in several large cities in the U.S.A., England and Japan. Seasonal variations of visibility can be classified into three types : type A) The visibility is maximum in winter and minimum in summer, type B) The visibility is maximum in spring and fall, minimum in summer and winter, type C) The visibility is maximum in spring and fall, minimum is summer. Geographical distributions of annual mean visibility show that the poorest visibility appears in the Kyunggi inland region(mean 15㎞), while the best visibility occurs in mountainous north Kangwon-do and Cheju island(over 25㎞).

Elements of atmospheric environment, temperature, humidity and wind, at the compus of KNU(Kyungpook National University) were investigated by the observations. The observed data were compared with those of DWS (Daegu Weather Station). The simulations of wind field and dispersions of polluted gases were conducted by MUKLIMO under the various conditions. The results show that the atmospheric environment of KNU are suitable but the campus does not play role as a heat sink in the city. The simulations of wind field show the air flows and wind channels in the campus clearly. The exhausted gases by motor vehicles on the northside street of campus affect very much to the campus with NW(300˚) wind. The running cars in the campus are also pollute much on the campus with the various wind directions. The characteristics of environmental conditions, various meteorological fields, wind channels, and dispersion of exhausted gases at the campus of KNU were understood quantitatively in the study.

Meteorological parameters in the atmospheric boundary layer and the vertical and horizontal dispersion parameters were determined by analyzing the data obtained by the special upper-air observations of one clear day for each season from October 1991 to August 1992. The concentration of the atmospheric pollutants over Taegu was analyzed by using the application of the Gaussian diffusion model. In the diurnal variation of diffusion of atmospheric pollutants, vertical diffusion due to turbulence is active in daytime while horizontal diffusion due to wind is active in nighttime. The mean concentration of pollutants in the side of downwind is higher during the daytime than the nighttime. Thus, the height of the mixed-layer at the nighttime considered as the most important parameter of the mean concentration of pollutants. In the seasonal variation of diffusion of atmospheric pollutants, vertical diffusion due to strong solar radiation is active in summer case day, and horizontal diffusion due to strong wind is active in winter case day. In winter case day, the mean concentration of pollutants in the side of downwind is maximum in the daytime. However, in summer case day, that is maximum in the nighttime.
