A heavy (93 mm hr−1) rainfall event accompanied by lightning occurred over Gangneung in the Yeongdong region of South Korea on August 6, 2018. This study investigated the underlying mechanism for the heavy rainfall event by using COMS satellite cloud products, surface- and upper-level weather charts, ECMWF reanalysis data, and radiosonde data. The COMS satellite cloud products showed rainfall exceeding 10 mm hr−1, with the lowest cloud-top temperature of approximately −65oC and high cloud optical thickness of approximately 20-25. The radiosonde data showed the existence of strong vertical wind shear between the upper and lower cloud layers. Furthermore, a strong inversion in the equivalent potential temperature was observed at a pressure altitude of 700 hPa. In addition, there was a highly developed cloud layer at a height of 13 km, corresponding with the vertical analysis of the ECMWF data. This demonstrated the increased atmospheric instability induced by the vertical differences in equivalent potential temperature in the Yeongdong region. Consequently, cold, dry air was trapped within relatively warm, humid air in the upper atmosphere over the East Sea and adjacent Yeongdong region. This caused unstable atmospheric conditions that led to rapidly developing convective clouds and heavy rainfall over Gangneung.

본 연구는 서울에서 강한 강수와 관련된 대기연직구조를 객관적으로 분류하고 대표 종관장과 강수 특성을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2009년부터 2018년까지 여름철 (6~8월) 서울에서 강한 강수(>15 mm hr−1 ) 시 오산에서 비양 된 레윈존데 자료에 객관적 방법을 적용하여 대기연직구조를 분류하였다. 그 결과 대기 전체가 습윤한 형태인 Thin Tube (TT) 형이 34.7% (17회), 건조한 하층 위로 습윤한 층이 존재하는 Inverted V (IV) 형이 20.4% (10회), 습윤한 하층 위로 건조한 공기가 침투하는 Loaded Gun (LG)이 20.4% (10회)로 분석되었다. TT형의 경우 SRH 값이 357.6 J kg−1으로 역학적 불안정이 큰 반면, LG와 IV형의 경우 1000 hPa부터 600 hPa까지 열적 불안정이 큰 특징을 보였다. NCEP/FNL 자료를 사용한 합성장 분석에서 TT형의 경우 기압골 전면(500 hPa)인 서해상에 저기압이 위치하여 (850 hPa) 저기압이 강화될 수 있는 종관 패턴이 형성되었다. IV와 LG형의 경우 북만주와 중국의 북동에 강한 저기압이 위치하는 종관 패턴을 보이며, 기압경도에 의한 남서기류의 유입이 상대적으로 약하였다. 강수 전반부에 강수가 집중되는 형태가 모든 유형에서 나타났으며, 특히 IV형의 경우 강수 전반 높은 강도로 강수가 집중되어 내린다. TT형의 경우 가장 많은 강수량(123.9 mm)을 보였지만 다른 유형과 비교하였을 때, 강수가 전·후반 고르게 오랜 시간 지속되는 특징을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 서울에서 강수와 관련된 고층관측자료의 이해도를 높이는 동시에 강수 예보기술 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

이 연구에서는 2014년 6월 10일 일산에서 발생한 용오름에 대해 구름분해모델(CReSS)를 활용하여 재현실험을 수행하고 발생 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 종관적으로는 대기 상층의 한랭하고 건조한 공기가 남하하였으며, 대기 하층에서는 온난하고 습윤한 공기의 이류가 있었다. 이로 인해 대기 상 하층 기온의 큰 차이가 발생하면서 강한 대기 불안정을 야기 시켰다. 19시 20분에 일산 지역에서 스톰이 발달하기 시작하여 10분 만에 최성기에 도달하였다. 재현 실험 결과 이 때 발달한 스톰의 높이는 9 km이었으며, 스톰 후면으로 갈고리 에코(hook echo)가 나타났다. 일산 주변으로 발달 한 스톰 내부에서는 활강 기류가 발생하는 것으로 모의 되었다. 모의된 하강기류가 지면에서 발산되어 수평 흐름으로 변하게 되었고, 이 흐름은 스톰의 후면에서 상승류로 전환 되었다. 이 때 후면에서 강한 하강기류가 발생하였는데 이 하강류가 전환된 상승류를 지면까지 끌어내려 지면에서 소용돌이도가 발달하게 되었다. 그 이후 이 소용돌이도가 연직으로 신장되면서 용오름이 모의되었다. 모의된 용오름에서 발달한 저기압성 소용돌이도는 360 m 고도에서 3×10−2 s−1이 었으며, 용오름의 직경은 900 m 고도에서 1 km로 추정되었다.

온대저기압화는 중위도 기압계에 큰 영향을 주고 때로는 악기상의 원인이 되기도 한다. 그러나 온대저기압화에 대한 예보와 연구 양쪽 모두 많은 과제가 남아있다. 왜냐하면 태풍으로부터 변질된 온대저기압 자체의 모호한 형태 때문이다. 또한, 온대저기압화의 정의가 예보나 연구 양쪽 모두 만족시켜줄 만큼 정확하지도 않다 따라서 기상청은 2007 년에 "온대저기압화 현엽매뉴얼"을 개발하여 온대저기압화의 일련의 과정과 구조 변화 진단에 사용하였다. 이 매뉴얼에서는 1단계 최대풍속과 해수면온도, 2단계 위성영상, 3단계 단열선도, 그리고 최종단계인 4단계에서 지상일기도를 분석하였다. 이 현업매뉴얼은 온대저기압화가 일어날 때 구조변화의 이해와 감시에 도움이 될 것이다.

The development of GIS technology has enabled the analysis of heavy rainfall vulnerability based on spatial analysis. In general, spatial analysis is performed based on property data and spatial data. Spatial data and attribute data differ in the generation units due to various reasons. The difference in these units can also cause problems in the results of the analysis. In particular, the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) that occurs according to the spatial unit setting is the most representative. The Modifiable Temporal Unit Problem (MTUP), which occurs according to the recent time unit setting, is also being raised. In this study, we analyzed the vulnerability of heavy rainfall in consideration of MAUP and MTUP. To analyze the effect of the MAUP, different administrative units were constructed and analyzed. In Seoul, Busan, and Ulsan, there was a scale effect in which disaster vulnerability was analyzed differently according to the analysis unit. In order to analyze the impact of MTUP, the range of study period was configured differently. The impact of the temporal boundary, in which overall disaster characteristics change and disaster vulnerability changes, has been identified. Analysis of regional disaster vulnerability considering MAUP and MTUP will be effective not only for the study of heavy rainfall disaster but also for setting the standard of disaster prevention policy.

The disaster caused by the heavy rain results in the greatest damage Among the damages caused by the weather disaster. many previous researches actively analyzed heavy rainfall disasters. The work includes analyzing vulnerability of disaster using characteristics and size of disaster damage in local area, selecting influencing factors influencing disaster and analyzing its influence. Rainfall during the heavy rainfall disaster is concerned with regional vulnerability to rainfall. The disaster-induced rainfall averaged on scale was analyzed by classifying disaster damage scale. The damage per precipitation unit is assumed to be disaster vulnerability, and local vulnerability of disasters is analyzed and the tendency of disaster vulnerability is analyzed using a time series analysis. The total amount of rainfall during the disaster period was analyzed in a large amount of rainfall in the Seoul metropolitan area and Busan city. The analysis shows that The average rainfall per accident case is high, and the region with relatively high stability against heavy rainfall disaster is Seoul metropolitan city. Southwest regions of the Korean Peninsula are analyzed to be affected by a very small amount of precipitation. The damage analysis shows that Busan Metropolitan City and the metropolitan area are relatively safe area against disaster. The analysis of disaster vulnerability based on the precipitation during the heavy rainfall disaster provides a clear classification of vulnerability by region.

When the GPS system was come to the operation, the U.S Coast Guard initiated development of differential GPS system based on a marine radiobeacon. It has rapidly been spread out to many countries. DGPS equals to P(Y) code in a positioning accuracy. USA has recently determined to expand the coverage of DGPS to inland in order to install a nationwide DGPS chain. Korea is under processing for improving the DGPS as a nationwide positioning system. Before expanding the service area inside Korea, we need to verify the relation between the field strength and DGPS accuracy for the service area. The Japanese DGPS data is received in the southern Part of the Korean peninsula. The Korean DGPS was not a complete system, so we selected the Japanese DGPS data as a model for the study. This paper investigate accuracy and reliability characteristics of RBN/DGPS over the effective service area. Through the experimental and simulation study, we obtained the reliable and stable positioning accuracy in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. In addition, the characteristics of RBN/DGPS were examined in the land over the effective coverage from Japan. The results would be a basic reference to research the RBN/NDGPS in Korea.

This paper is concerned with the experimental analysis of EOW(End-of-Week) rollover. The GPS EOW Rollover happens every 20 years. Because GPS time, counted in weeks, started counting Jan. 6, 1980, the GPS week will rollover from week 1023 to 0000 at midnight between Aug. 21 and 22. This is significant because it is the first EOW rollover since the GPS constellation was established and it could be interpreted as an invalid date in receivers that were not designed to meet GPS specification. We analyzed GPS data of the noncompliant receivers and the compliant receiver. It was concluded that all receivers had not serious problems during or after the rollover.

The Japanese DGPS Data can be received easily in the area of the Korean peninsula and some Korean users may use these data. However, its analysis has not been actually investigated. This paper is a study on accuracy analysis of Japanese Marine Radiobeacon/ DGPS in the South Coast of Korea. The 3 Japanese DGPS stations, Wakamiya(295 kHz), Ose Saki(302 kHz) and Hamada(305 kHz), near the Korean peninsula were analyzed by several ways. It was concluded that the feasible result of the experimental study with an error range of no more 10 m in 2 DRMS.
