기상현상관측은 기상청에서 다양한 방법(지상, 고층, 해양, 항공, 등)으로 관측되고 있다. 하지만, 인간생활에 많은 영향을 미치는 대기경계층 관측에는 한계가 있다. 특히, 존데 또는 항공기를 이용한 기상관측은 경제적인 측면에서 상당 한 비용이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 기상드론을 이용하여 국지기상현상 중 해륙풍 연직분포에 대한 기상 인자들을 측정하고 분석하는 것이다. 해륙풍의 공간적 분포를 연구하기 위해 보성지역 표준기상관측소의 보성종합기상탑을 포함한 다른 세 지점(해안가, 산기슭, 산중턱)에 동일한 통합기상센서를 각 드론에 탑재하였다. 2018년 8월 4일 1100 LST부터 1800 LST까지 30분 간격으로 최대 400 m 고도까지 기온, 상대 습도, 풍향, 풍속, 기압의 연직 프로파일 관측이 수행되었다. 기온, 상대 습도, 기압에 대한 기상현상의 공간적 특성은 네 지점에서 보이지 않았다. 강한 일사량 시간 대에 중간지점(~100 m)에서 강한 바람(~8 m s−1 )이 관측되었고, 오후에는 풍향이 내륙지역의 상층부터 서풍으로 바뀌었다. 기상드론을 이용하여 관측한 하부 대기층의 분석결과는 보다 정확한 기상예보 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

천연색소는 색을 발현할 수 있는 물질로서 식품, 화장품, 의약품 등에 사용된다. 천연색소는 동・식물에서 추출하여 만들기 때문에 크기가 균일하지 않으며 특히 적색색소의 경우, 다른 색의 색소 에 비해 친유성이 강해 수용액 상태에서 쉽게 응집이 되는 경향이 있다. 또한 응집에 의한 크기변화로 인해 색의 재현이 어려운 문제점이 있다. 적색색소로 기존에 사용했던 동물성 색소인 코치닐 추출 색 소는 알레르기를 유발하고 식용으로서의 거부감이 있는 등의 문제점으로 인하여 사용이 기피되는 추 세이다. 본 연구에서는 적색의 식물성 색소인 라이코펜 추출물과 치자황색소를 사용하였고 Ball-milling을 이용하여 색소의 크기를 균일하게 만든 후 Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation(AsFlFFF), Dynamic light scattering(DLS)를 이용하여 크기를 분석하고 색차계를 이용하 여 색을 확인하는 연구를 진행하였다. 실험결과 milling 전에는 색소 입자의 크기가 크고 크기분포가 넓었으나, milling 후에는 크기가 감소하고 크기분포가 좁아짐을 확인하였다. 색차계 측정 결과, milling 시간이 증가함에 따라 밝기, 적색도, 황색도가 높아져서 밝은 적색을 나타내었다.

담관 협착의 원인을 양성인지 악성인지 구별하기가 어려운 경우가 종종 있어 많은 임상의사들을 곤혹스럽게 한다. 그러한 이유는 여러 가지 영상검사와 내시경적 역행성 담췌관 조영술에 의한 반복적인 세포검사와 조직검사를 시행함에도 불구하고 양성 담관 협착과 악성 담관 협착을 수술 전 정확히 감별하지 못하는 경우가 많기 때문이다. 저자들은 50 세 남자환자에게 원위부 담도 폐쇄 소견이 있어 세포 검사와 조직검사를 여러 차례 반복적으로 시행하였으나 악성세포는 나오지 않았고, 간흡충 충란이 다량 발견되어 간흡충증에 의한 양성 협착과 악성 협착의 감별이 어려운 상황에서 1개월 후 복부 전산화 단층촬영을 시행하였다. 그 결과 췌장실질의 위축과 췌관확장이 진행하여 악성종양을 강력히 의심하고 유문부 보존 췌십이지장 절제술을 시행하였다. 조직검사 결과에서 췌장 머리의 선암으로 진단하였다. 악성 담관 협착을 수술 전에 정확히 진단하기는 쉽지 않지만, 담관 협착은 악성이 의심되면 수술적 진단 등의 적극적 검사를 주저해서는 안될 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to extract climate element affecting coffee yield by growth period using data of production and cultivation area of coffee and climate data for 2000-2018. During the analysis period, the production of coffee in Vietnam has been consistently increasing, but Ðăk Lăk in the Central Highlands, the main cultivation area for coffee production, has recently stagnated in the trend of increasing yield. The yield of Lâm Đồng, located in the relatively highlands of the Central Highlands, is steadily increasing. Coffee yields of Ðăk Lăk is negatively correlated with the temperature during flowering period, and is also significantly negatively correlated with the maximum temperature and precipitation during the late growing period. On the other hand, Lâm Đồng, located at a relatively high altitude, has a positive correlation with temperature during the late growing period. It is analyzed that the lower the altitude, the higher the temperature, the lower the coffee productivity due to the high temperature appearance, and the lower the low temperature appearance in the high altitude region.

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.

This study examines the socio-environmental impacts of mobility on Inuit people and its consequences in the High Arctic region of Canada. Mobility is the part of Inuit culture, the Inuit people moved for hunting on familiar distances and sites that is the part of their life through generations. These patterns of mobility represent an admirable appreciation and familiar knowledge of the environment in the aboriginal people. The system of mobility as social change is related to the environmental stress, food shortage, fur-trade, construction of military bases, state policies, forced resettlement and non-renewable resources development projects in the Arctic region. Since 1950s, the Inuit of Canadian Arctic region have experience forcefully the mobilities in form of relocation, new-settlements, medical moves and residential schools as well as environmental mobility. The effects of relocation from their original lands have sustained through generations. There is another sad story of the DEW-line (Distance Early Warning) construction. The construction was started without any consent or notification to the local communities. Inuit people were displaced into other places with non-respectable way from their indigenous land. The residential school system was another a misfortune form of mobility which removed Aboriginal children from their parents and forcefully teach them ‘white manners’. This unfair treatment to the Inuit becomes big debate in the country from the several decades ago. Experience of mobility either it was due to relocation, displacement, individual or residential schools and mobility due to climate change are common story of Inuit people in the Arctic region of Canada. A number of families are still dealing with this intergenerational distresses.

The objective of the current study is to investigate and evaluate the annual and seasonal rainfall trends and patterns of the Punjab province, Pakistan during the 1981-2015. The spatial patterns and temporal trends were identified through the Modified Mann Kendall test. Finding revealed that 13 weather stations of Punjab province have shown the statistically significant decreasing trend of annual and summer monsoon rainfall during the study period. From further investigation, the rainfall during the summer monsoon period (JJAS) found to be increased by 12.45%, similarly the rainfall during the whole of year be also increased by 18.75%. The significant decreasing trends observed with the higher percentage change in annual and monsoon rainfall for the stations of Sialkot and Lahore in the northern and central Punjab. The empirical evidences suggested that northern Punjab gets more moisture as compared the Southern and Western Punjab. This study suggests intensive empirical research in the future to evolve further spatio-temporal trends in the rainfall pattern of Punjab.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of climatic elements on the arabica coffee yield during the various growth stages of coffee plant for the period of 1996-2017 over Costa Rica. For the future scenario, change rate of arabica coffee yield is also estimated using the data of production and cultivated area. The cultivation area and the yield of arabica coffee has been decreasing since the 1990s in Costa Rica. The decreasing trend in arabica coffee yield could have a negative effect on Costa Rica’s coffee industry in the future. During the dry season, the yield of arabica coffee has significant negative correlation with precipitation at the stage of flowering in the month of February. In case of wet season, coffee yield and temperature were negatively correlated while precipitation showed positive association with coffee yield at the stage of growing period in the month of August. However, the observation revealed the excessive precipitation drastically reduced arabica coffee yield in 2013 during August, the month of wet season. According to the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 climate change scenarios, due to high temperature and fluctuated precipitation the yield of arabica coffee is unstable and the future of coffee industries is also insecure.

This study aims to analyze the change of onset and end dates of extreme temperature events and examine their relationships with global warming. The data used for this study are daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and global mean temperature anomaly. Results were similar to the trend of global temperature, showing that the onset date of extreme high temperature is advanced while the end date of extreme high temperature is delayed. Also, the change of onset (end) dates of extreme low temperature were clear, with coming later (earlier). There is more distinct change in extreme low temperature than extreme high temperature. The length between onset date and end date of extreme high (low) temperature is significantly longer (shorter). The onset (end) date of extreme high temperature has a negative (positive) relationship with global mean temperature. The onset (end) date of extreme low temperature has a positive (negative) relationship with global mean temperature. It might be concluded that the change of onset and end date of extreme temperature in South Korea has been affected by global warming.

We explored the transporting processes for the Asian dust observed over South Korea. The frequency of Asian dust days (ADDs) were used to analyze the associations of the ADDs with land surface conditions over the four source regions, including inner-Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, Manchuria, and Loess Plateau, and atmospheric synoptic variables over central and eastern Asia. Precipitation and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) in the source regions during the previous summer were negatively correlated with the ADDs in South Korea. Statistically and physically more significant processes were found in the associations of atmospheric synoptic conditions with the ADDs. The intensified winds of northwesterly-northerlynorthwesterly over a pathway of the Asian dust from the source regions to South Korea were identified during high ADDs years in South Korea. A dipole pattern of anti-cyclonic and cyclonic anomalies over central and eastern Asia, respectively, supported the Asian dust pathway.

This study aims to investigate the effects of climatic variability on the citrus yield in Jeju-do. This study analyzed the relationship between the citrus yield and climate elements(temperature, rainfall, sunshine duration etc) at each growing season. Temperature shows a positive relationship with the period of flower bud for the yield of citrus. The rainy days of bud bursting period have a negative relation in Seogwipo area. The sunshine duration of the 1st physiological fruit drop period was positively related to citrus yield in Jeju and Seogwipo area. The maximum temperature of the 2nd physiological fruit drop period and the fruit enlargement period were negatively related to the citrus yield. In Jeju and Seogwipo area, about 60% of the variation of citrus yield is explained by the variation of climatic factors. The sunshine duration of the 1st physiological fruit drop period and fruit enlargement period were selected to the yield estimation in Jeju. In Seogwipo, the number of rainy days and the sunshine duration of the 1st physiological fruit drop period were selected.

The current study deals with the effect of urban growth and urbanization on temperature trends over Lahore city of Pakistan. This research was conducted using mean monthly temperature data for the period of 1950-2017. The urban population growth, urban expansion, the increase of vehicles and factories as well as the expansion of built up area have influenced on the change of temperature in Lahore city. The annual trends of temperatures have been analyzed, and their statistical significances are calculated by the linear regression method. It has been deduced that there is a close relation between temperature change and urban growth. The findings are as follows; the mean minimum temperature rises greater than the maximum temperature at urban station and rural station. However, the maximum temperature is not rising positively and thus significantly at both stations. The findings show the fact that mean minimum temperature increasing more quickly after the 1995 due to the increase of urban development in Lahore city in which the built up area has increased from 66 km² to 740 km² since 1950. A massive increase in the numbers of vehicles have also influenced on the change of temperature in the city. However, the mean maximum temperature at rural station of Lahore has significant effect during 1973-1997.

This study was carried out to reveal the characteristics of climate-influenced landscape in the tundra with the case study of Cambridge Bay in Canada. This study was conducted for a part of regional study to understand the lifestyle of Arctic and Inuit people. Traditional knowledge and practices of indigenous peoples are emerged as adaptation issues to the changes of tundra environment. During august 2018, we interviewed local residents and experts at a field survey in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada. The contents of the study are descriptions on the climate-influenced landscape, utilizing interview, which mainly focused on buildings, infrastructure, and transportation. In building construction, they are applying the building method considering permafrost. The infrastructures are also adapting to extreme weather conditions, such as supplying water and sewage disposal by trucks instead of water and sewage systems using pipes. The way of transport has been changed from dog-sleds to modern snowmobiles and ATVs. The use of ATV is on the rise as the period of time without snow is getting longer.

The safety of the future mankind becomes a world issue due to the climate change driven by global warming. It is inevitable to observe everywhere in daily life the impact of climate change. The level of emergency differs between long-term, mid-term, and short-term, which depends on situation. The impact of climate change in daily life is fairly diverse, and therefore multiple research units of different backgrounds often work together on the measuring and forecasting of the impacts. This paper aims to study the potentially useful methods to analyze and forecast the impact on the changes in transport activities of Canadian Inuit. This is part of the research on the climate change’s impact on the Northern Sea Route area. Either natural or man-made change of external environment forces human to adjust their daily life in order to maintain their utility level of life. Individual or individuals’ group react to the external impact, the way of which differ from others. This fact calls a simulation research on the whole set of input-intermediate process-output. Agents representing individuals or certain subpopulation are given a set of rules to react to stimulus and interact with other agents behave in the realm of simulation. This paper provides methodological discussions on how analyzing and forecasting future change in transport activities in response to climate change. The discussion goes around activity-based approaches that are recently popular in urban planning and transportation planning among available simulation approaches. This paper then discusses the implication and future research agenda.

The study aims to investigate the effect of air temperature on growth date(bud bursting, flowering, blooming) of Citrus Unshiu in Jeju and Seogwipo, and estimate future growth date using air temperature data and growth date of Citrus Unshiu from 1998 to 2015. The trend and relationship between growth date of Citrus Unshiu and air temperature in Jeju and Seogwipo are analysed. As a result, The trend of growth date of Citrus Unshiu is delayed during study period. The correlation between Citrus Unshiu growth date and air temperature is negative. It means that air temperature related to the growth date of Citrus Unshui is decreasing. Future growth date of Citrus Unshiu is estimated to be earlier by future climate change scenarios. Air temperature expect to rise, but it can appear the low air temperature to be able to hurt citrus tree.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of satellite images in detecting the areas of rice production in the Barisal of Bangladesh. We also investigated the effect of climate change on the crop production through comparative analysis of rice production area and production statistics with climate data at multi-temporal time scale. This analysis found that the classification of rice fields extracted through satellite image and made as the number of rice cultivation areas did not exceed 10 percent of the statistical data. Climate data analysis showed that the average temperature during the ripening stage has the greatest impact on Boro’s production. It would be more make sense if you can describe the results of how precipitation is also important for rice production in addition to temperature. Therefore, it is believed that this research could serve as a key basis for solving food security issues due to climate change.

The purpose of this paper is three-fold: to analyze the macrotrend of North Korea’s food supply and demand; to confirm the food security situation in North Korea in various respects; and to seek the sustainable ways of agricultural production as a prerequisite for food security in North Korea. In particular, analyzing North Korea’s weather observation data, which has hardly been considered in previous studies, we investigated how North Korea’s agriculture had been affected by various natural disasters (flood, drought, soil loss etc.) caused by unusual weather. The results show the fact that the agricultural security systems of North Korea is vulnerable to both drought and flood due to extreme precipitation changes, which are closely related to the negative impacts on North Korea’s agricultural activities. In order to enhance the sustainability of North Korea’s agriculture, it is necessary to improve the system (dissolution of collectivization), increase the amount of agricultural materials, enhance soil fertility and develop agricultural machines. Most of all, this research reveals the fact that the most important and fundamental points for food security in North Korea, it needs the systematic strategies to cope with climate change.

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of the disaster by heavy snowfall in South Korea based on the disaster yearbooks published from 1979 to 2014. We analyses the spatial distributions and temporal changes of disaster caused by heavy snowfall as well as the damage related to the snow depth. According to the change in the property loss by heavy snowfall and the snow depth, there was no major damage by heavy snowfall in 1980~1999 when the new snowfall tended to decrease by -1.4 cm/year. However, the fluctuation in the sum of new snowfall in the 2000s was also the most unstable, resulting in heavy damage by heavy snowfall. The sensitivity on the snow depth is different depending on the geographical regions, but the property loss by heavy snowfall increases as the sum of new snowfall and the maximum snow depth increase.
