In order to clarify the impact of regional warming on the meteorological field and air quality over southeastern part of Korean Peninsula, several numerical experiment were carried out. Numerical models used in this study are WRF for the estimate the meteorological elements and CMAQ for assessment of ozone concentration. According to the global warming impact, initial air temperature were changed and its warming rate reach at 2 degree which was based on the global warming scenarios provided by IPCC. The experiments considering the global warming at initial stage were presented as case T_UP. Air temperature over inland area during night time for case T_UP is higher than that for Base case. During time since the higher temperature over inland area is maintained during daytime more intensified sea breeze should be induced and also decrease the air temperature in vicinity of coast area. In case of T_UP, high level concentrations ozone distribution area was narrowed and their disappearance were faster after 1800LST. As a results, wind and temperature fields due to the global warming at initial stage mainly results in the pattern of ozone concentration and its temporal variation at South-Eastern Part of the Korean Peninsula.

동해연안지역의 벼 생육부진 및 수량감소의 주된 요인분석을 위하여 해안으로부터 1, 2,3, 5 km의 4개 지점의 기상, 토양 및 벼 생육반응을 조사 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 해안거리별 일 평균기온은 차이가 거의 없었으나, 냉수대 출현에 따른 냉해풍 발생시 온도변화는 뚜렷하여 5km에서보다 1 km지점에서 8℃ , 2 km지점 7℃ , 3 km지점 4℃ 까지 온도가 낮아졌으며 냉해풍은 하루에도 수차례 발생하였음. 2. 해안거리별 토양특성은 해안에 가까울수록 모래성분이 많고 미사 및 점토성분은 적었으며, 양이온 치환용량이 적어서 작물이 비료성분을 섭취할 수 있는 흡착력이 낮아졌음. 3. 해안에 가까운 재배지역일수록 초장은 작아지고 경수는 적었으며, 출수기는 3～4일 지연되었고, 벼 건물중 및 임실율은 낮아졌음. 4. 수량은 5km보다 1 km지점에서 27～36% 감수되어, 해안에 가까운 재배지역일수록 감수폭이 더 컸으며, 주된 감수요인은 주당수수의 감소가 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤고, 해안 2 km지점에서 90%이상의 수량성을 나타낸 품종은 냉해풍지역의 적응품종인 삼덕벼였음.

Accurate simulation of the meteorological field is very important to assess the wind resources. Some researchers showed that sea surface temperature (SST) plays a leading role on the local meterological simulation. New Generation Sea Surface Temperature (NGSST), Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA), and Real-Time Global Sea Surface Temperature (RTG SST) have different spatial distribution near the coast and OSTIA shows the best accuracy compared with buoy data in the southeastern coast of the Korean Peninsula. Those SST products are used to initialize the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model for November 13-23 2008. The simulation of OSTIA shows better result in comparison with NGSST and RTG SST. NGSST shows a large difference with OSTIA in horizontal and vertical wind fields during the weak synoptic condition, but wind power density shows a large difference during strong synoptic condition. RTG SST shows the similar patterns but smaller the magnitude and the extent.

As the damages due to natural disasters continue to increase, a growing interest is being witnessed in such studies that focus on preventive measures to reduce damages rather than on their recovery. As such, the U.S. has been actively conducting projects to develop new models that can forecast potential damages due to natural disasters and widely employing them in actual cases. With no specific models developed in Korea yet, this study aimed to introduce an overseas typhoon model as part of the advanced efforts and apply it the actual cases occurring across the nation. This model estimates wind loads by measuring the impact of a strong wind upon buildings, and measurements require a number of parameters. Those parameters should include the types and dimensions of buildings and the type of the roofs. As for the FPHLM(Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model), a precedent model for our study, we were able to take advantage of number of the statistics and detailed categorizations on the residential buildings in the U.S., which enabled us to select the representative building types and produce their wind loads. With no sufficient relevant statistics available for the nation, however, we may not be able to readily measure the wind loads on the nation's residential buildings. Therefore, this study tried to choose the representative types, heights and dimensions of the buildings for the measurement of wind loads. We consequently came up with a representative house having an area between 62.81 and 95.56 ㎡, either a flat roof or hip roof, a height of 2.6 m, an side ratio of 1.5, and the width and length of the mean 85 ㎡ sized house being 11,300 mm and 7,530 mm, respectively.

In order to make sure the impact of spatial resolution of wind energy map on the estimation of wind power density in the Korean Peninsula, the comparison studies on the characteristics of wind energy map with three different spatial resolutions were carried out. Numerical model used in the establishment of wind map is MM5 (5th generation Mesoscale Model) with RDAPS (Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System) as initial and boundary data. Analyzed Period are four months (March, August, October, and December), which are representative of four seasons. Since high spatial resolution of wind map make the undulation of topography be clear, wind pattern in high resolution wind map is correspond well with topography pattern and maximum value of wind speed is also increase. Indication of island and mountains in wind energy map depends on the its spatial resolution, so wind patterns in Heuksan island and Jiri mountains are clearly different in high and low resolutions. And area averaged power density can be changed by estimation method of wind speed for unit area in the numerical model and by treatment of air density. Therefore the studiable resolution for the topography should be evaluated and set before the estimation of wind resources in the Korean Peninsula.

Comparison study on the land surface temperatures, which are calculated from four different algorithms for MODIS data, was carried out and the characteristics of each algorithm on land surface temperature estimation were also analysed in this study. Algorithms, which are well used for various satellite data analysis, in the comparisons are proposed by Price, Becker and Li, Ulivieri et al., and Wan. Verification of estimated land surface temperature from each algorithm is also performed using observation based regression data. The coefficient of determination (R2) for daytime land surface temperature estimated from Wan's algorithm is higher than that of another algorithms at all seasons and the value of R2 reach on 0.92 at spring. Although R2 for Ulivieri's algorithm is slightly lower than that for Wan's algorithm, the variation pattern of land surface temperature for two algorithms are similar. However, the difference of estimated values among four algorithms become small at the region of high land surface temperature.

This study aims to find out a state of the damages and vulnerable areas from natural disasters in the Korean peninsula using the prevention meteorological database information made by Park(2007b). Through the correlation analysis between damage elements and total property losses, we investigate the damages of public facilities, which have high correlation coefficient, and the cause of disasters and want to propose the basic information to set up the disaster prevention measures in advance. As a result, because most of the total property losses is the damages of public facilities, we can reduce the damages of natural disasters if we can predict the damages of public facilities or carry out the prevention activities in advance. The most vulnerable area for the natural disasters are Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangnam-do provinces. The vulnerable areas for the damages of public facilities by typhoon are Daegu metropolitan city, Gangwon-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do provinces. These vulnerable areas will take place more frequently due to the climate change including Gyeongsangnam-do province so that we need to set up the disaster prevention measures and natural disaster mitigation plan. Also, we think that it has effect on reducing the damages of natural disasters to predict the damage scale and strongly perform the prevention activities in advance according to typhoon track and intensity.

Daily time series of longshore sea surface temperature (SST) data at 3 stations, sea surface SST data at 58 stations in the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsular from 2001 to 2005 were used in order to study the temporal and spatial variations of the upwelling coastal cold water occurred in summer season. When the cold water occurred, SST has been decreased more than -5℃ in a day. The cold water occurred frequently in the eastern coastal areas of Korea such as Ulgi, Kampo, Jukbyun. Daily variations of cold water temperature were quantified using remote control buoy system at Kijang in the southeastern coastal water from July to August in 2004. Hourly variations of SST occurred around ±3℃ when cold water disappeared at Kijang. There were close relationship between the strength of East Korean Warm Current, North Korean Cold Water and the scale of spatio-temporal cold water variations in summer season.

국내 화강암에는 수많은 점토세맥들이 단층, 절리, 열극 등을 따라 형성되어 있다. 화강암은 지질시대로 보아 쥬라기의 대보화강암, 백악기의 불국사 화강암, 고제3기의 호암 화강암으로 나누어진다. 이들 중에 운모점토광물(일라이트)을 주성분으로 하는 점토세맥의 시료와 그 모암에 대하여 K-Ar 방법에 의해 연대측정을 행하였다 그 결과, 쥬라기 화강암은 143.7 Ma 및 160 Ma이고 그 점토세맥은 104 Ma 및 107 Ma이였고, 백악기 화강암은 133.2 Ma이고, 그 점토세맥은 93.6 Ma, 84.2 Ma, 84.3Ma를 보였고, 고제3기 화강암은 39.7 Ma와 35.4 Ma이고, 그 점토세맥은 27.1 Ma 및 23.9 Ma를 나타냈다. 이와 같이 점토세맥의 연대는 모암인 화강암의 연대와는 큰 차이로 젊게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 일본 남서부에 분포하는 백악기 및 고제3기 화강암류 중 점토세맥의 연대가 모암의 연대와 약간 젊든지 혹은 거의 같은 것으로 알려진 것과는 큰 대조를 보인다.

Recently, we are suffered enormous loss from a natural disaster and making an effort to prepare measures for dealing with disasters. This study shows the major causes of natural disasters and stricken area with the analysis of meteorological data based on the Korean Meteorological Administration and the Central Disaster Relief Center records during 1987-2003 and classifies natural disasters according to the causes and damaged conditions. In this study, the most damaged area were Gangwon, Gyeongnam and Gyeongi province as a result of a typhoon and a localized heavy rain. To establish an effective disaster measure for these area, detailed prevention plans should be established by its causes after investigating precise regional damage data analysis.

Sea level (MSL, MHWL, or MLWL) change has been main concern to scientists and engineers and it can be primarily due to both change of climate and vertical movement of land. This paper reports the intensive analysis of the sea level changes and broad discussion of the future at the southwestern coast of Korean peninsula. Regression analysis was conducted to investigate general tendency and periodicity of the sea levels at the six different study sites such as Gunsan-I(inner port), Gunsan-O(outer port), Mokpo, Yeosu, Heuksan and Jeju and the results were compared with global values. Besides the changes of sea levels due to global warming, the influence of the man-made structure such as seadike and seawall was attempted to quantify using the minimization of the Root Mean Square(RMS) error. The results show that it is a general tendency that the values of mean sea level rise at the southwestern coast of Korean Peninsula, especially at Gunsan-I and Jeju, are somewhat larger compared to global average values. There is also some evidence that tidal amplifications are found just after construction of man-made structure at Gunsan-I and Mokpo. However, both sites show different mechanism in relation to tidal choking, tidal flat and river discharge. The impact due to construction of man-made structure is considerably larger at Mokpo site, while the impacts due to man-made structure and the effect of sea level rise are relatively identical at Gunsan-I site. This study is expected to provide some intuition to future design.

During the period of every summer to early autumn seasons, ships have been wrecked or grounded from effect of a typhoon in the water areas around Korean Peninsula Typhoon Rusa killed more than 100 people in September 2002. Super Typhoon Maemi passed southeast of South Korea in September 12-13, 2003, with a strong gale blowing at a record 60 m/s and caused much ship groundings, collisions and sinkings over 3000 in dockyards, harbors and places of refuge. These are things that could have been prevented had there merely been prior warning. This study outlines the occurrence characteristics of maritime accidents caused by a typhoon in South Korea for the period from 1962 to 2002. The distribution of the accident records is also compared with the trajectories, winds, central pressures of typhoons, passed during the 1990-2003. It is shown that attack frequency of typhoon and number of marine accidents is the highest in August and the marine accidents due to typhoon have a close relation to the distribution of accumulated wind and pressure fields.

한반도 동남부 일대에 발견된 제4기 단층인 상천, 입실, 왕산단층 비 지대에서 단층운동과 이에 수반된 유체의 영향으로 생긴 미구조 및 광물학적인 변화 양상을 알아보기 위해 단층 비지와 주위 모암의 전암분석과 전자현미분석이 수행되었다. 단층 비지와 주위 모암의 X-선형광분석 결과 유동성이 낮은 원소 즉 TiO2, MgO, P2O5 , Fe2O3가 신선한 모암에 비해 비지대에 집적되는데 이는 단층운동과 이에 수반된 유체들의 활동이 활발했음을 이야기 해준다. 단층 비지 물질의 X-선회절분석 결과 관찰되는 광물은 석영, 장석, 방해석과 점토광물이고, 점토광물은 대부분 스멕타이트이며 (060) 회절선의 값은 평균 1.50 a으로써 이팔면체 구조를 가진다. 전자현미분석 결과 비지대 및 모암내 다양한 종류의 황화, 탄산염 및 인산염광물들이 관찰된다. 상천단층 회색 비지대의 제노타임, 입실단층 접촉부 안산암과 왕산단층 접촉부 회색 안산암의 황화광물은 제4기 이전의 단층운동과 관련된 열수의 유입으로 인해 생성된 것으로 추측 된다. 입실 접촉부 안산암과 비지대의 맥상의 탄산염광물은 제4기 이전의 단층운동과 관련된 유체에 의해 생성되었고, 이들 탄산염광물이 물리적으로 심하게 파쇄되어 있으며 탄산염광물 가장자리에 반응연이 있는 것으로 보아 탄산염광물이 생성되고 난 후에도 단층운동과 유체의 활동이 활발했음을 알 수 있다. 왕산단층의 맥상의 방해석은 제4기 단층운동과 동시기 또는 후기에 생성된 것으로 볼 수 있다.
