The shortwave aerosol direct radiative forcing (SWARF) was analyzed using the Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) data in the East Asian region from 2001 to 2010. In the Yellow Sea and the Korean Peninsula, located in the leeward side of China, significantly negative high SWARF at the top of atmosphere (TOA) occurs due to the long-range transport of anthropogenic (e.g. sulphate) and natural aerosols (e.g. mineral dust) from the East Asian continent. Conversely, eastern China has much higher levels of SWARF at the surface (SFC) due to anthropogenically emitted aerosol than in the Yellow Sea and the Korean Peninsula. Since the radiative forcing of aerosols in the atmosphere are different in type, aerosol types were classified into sea salt+sulphate, smoke, sulphate and dust by using satellite data. The analysis on the SWARF by the classified aerosol types indicated that sulphate occupies a predominant portion of the atmosphere in the Yellow Sea and the Korean Peninsula in the summer. In particular, the annual averages of the summer TOA SWARF increased in the Yellow Sea and the Korean Peninsula from 2001 to 2010.

하천의 유황특성을 평가 하는 것은 하천생태계의 인위적인 변형을 이해하고 예측하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 댐 건설에 따른 하류하천의 영향을 분석하고자 수문변화 지표모형을 이용하여 용수 전용댐인 영천댐을 대상으로 댐 건설전 후의 유황변동을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 월 평균유량은 갈수기와 홍수기 모두 댐건설 후 감소하였다. (2) 연 극치유량의 크기와 기간 분석결과, 댐 건설전 후의 1일 최소유량은 와 이였으며, 1일 최대
