PURPOSES : The travel times of expressway buses have been estimated using the travel time data between entrance tollgates and exit tollgates, which are produced by the Toll Collections System (TCS). However, the travel time data from TCS has a few critical problems. For example, the travel time data include the travel times of trucks as well as those of buses. Therefore, the travel time estimation of expressway buses using TCS data may be implicitly and explicitly incorrect. The goal of this study is to improve the accuracy of the expressway bus travel time estimation using DSRC-based travel time by identifying the appropriate analysis period of input data. METHODS : All expressway buses are equipped with the Hi-Pass transponders so that the travel times of only expressway buses can be extracted now using DSRC. Thus, this study analyzed the operational characteristics as well as travel time patterns of the expressway buses operating between Seoul and Dajeon. And then, this study determined the most appropriate analysis period of input data for the expressway bus travel time estimation model in order to improve the accuracy of the model. RESULTS: As a result of feasibility analysis according to the analysis period, overall MAPE values were found to be similar. However, the MAPE values of the cases using similar volume patterns outperformed other cases. CONCLUSIONS: The best input period was that of the case which uses the travel time pattern of the days whose total expressway traffic volumes are similar to that of one day before the day during which the travel times of expressway buses must be estimated.

In order to improve an accuracy of the real-time odor dispersion modeling system, a sensitivity of CALMET model with different input meteorological data was studied. The performance of CALMET model was tested by comparing the model predictions with the observations at the Daedeok Industrial Complex in Daejeon Metropolitan City. It is shown that the CALMET model with WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) input data of GFS (Global Forecast System) depicts the measurements better than that of RDAPS (Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System). The CALMET model could be further improved by selecting options of Divergence minimization, Froude number adjustment and Slope flows without choosing Kinematic Effects in the modeling procedure.

Recently, a variety of modeling studies have been conducted to examine the air quality over South Korea during the Korea United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) campaign period (May 1 to June 10, 2016). This study investigates the impact of different meteorological initializations on atmospheric modeling results. We conduct several simulations during the KORUS-AQ period using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with two different initial datasets, which is FNL of NCEP and ERA5 of ECMWF. Comparing the raw initial data, ERA5 showed better accuracy in the temperature, wind speed, and mixing ratio fields than those of NCEP-FNL. On the other hand, the results of WRF simulations with ERA5 showed better accuracy in the simulated temperature and mixing ratio than those with FNL, except for wind speed. Comparing the nudging efficiency of temperature and wind speed fields, the grid nudging effect on the FNL simulation was larger than that on the ERA5 simulation, but the results of mixing ratio field was the opposite. Overall, WRF simulation with ERA5 data showed a better performance for temperature and mixing ratio simulations than that with FNL data. For wind speed simulation, however, WRF simulation with FNL data indicated more accurate results compared to that with ERA5 data.

In this study, we investigated the impact of different initial data on atmospheric modeling results using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. Four WRF simulations were conducted with different initialization in March 2015, which showed the highest monthly mean PM10 concentration in the recent ten years (2006-2015). The results of WRF simulations using NCEP-FNL and ERA-Interim were compared with observed surface temperature and wind speed data, and the difference of grid nudging effect on WRF simulation between the two data were also analyzed. The FNL simulation showed better accuracy in the simulated temperature and wind speed than the Interim simulation, and the difference was clear in the coastal area. The grid nudging effect on the Interim simulation was larger than that of the FNL simulation. Despite of the higher spatial resolution of ERA-Interim data compared to NCEP-FNL data, the Interim simulation showed slightly worse accuracy than those of the FNL simulation. It was due to uncertainties associated with the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) field in the ERA-Interim data. The results from the Interim simulation with different SST data showed significantly improved accuracy than the standard Interim simulation. It means that the SST field in the ERA-Interim data need to be optimized for the better WRF simulation. In conclusion, although the WRF simulation with ERA-Interim data does not show reasonable accuracy compared to those with NCEP-FNL data, it would be able to be Improved by optimizing the SST variable.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between the distribution chart and input data of the predicted 3-second gust and damage cost, by using the forecast field and analysis field of Regional Data Assimilation Prediction System (RDAPS) as initial input data of Korea risk assessment model (RAM) developed in the preceding study. In this study the cases of typhoon Rusa which caused occurred great damage to the Korean peninsula was analyzed to assess the suitability of initial input data. As a result, this study has found out that the distribution chart from the forecast field and analysis field predicted from the point where the effect due to the typhoon began had similarity in both 3-second gust and damage cost with the course of time. As a result of examining the correlation, the 3-second gust had over 0.8, and it means that the forecast field and analysis field show similar results. This study has shown that utilizing the forecast field as initial input data of Korea RAM could suit the purpose of pre-disaster prevention.

최근 기후변화에 의한 기상이변이 발생하고 국지적 집중호우로 인한 홍수피해가 심각하게 증가하고 있다. 이러한 피해를 경감하기 위한 방법으로 정확한 홍수유출량 예측을 통한 홍수예경보 구축이 필요시 된다. 정확한 홍수유출량 예측을 위해 수문기상학적 요소와 특성인자들의 정확한 상호 연관성 규명과 공간적 변동성 해석은 강우-유출 모형에서 발생하는 불확실성을 감소시키는데 중요한 요소로 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 정확한 홍수유출량을 산정하기 위한 강우-유출모형을 이용한 입력자료의 해상도에 따른 불확실성을 감소시키기 위해 강우격자 해상도와 지형인자 격자 해상도에 따라 강우-유출모형이 어떻게 반응하는지 분석하였다. 분포형 강우-유출 모형인 GRM 모형을 이용하여 내성천 및 감천 유역을 대상으로 이벤트를 산정하여 홍수유출 모의 및 검증을 실시하였다. GRM 모형 구성을 위한 입력자료(강우, DEM, 토지이용도, 토양도)의 해상도 격자크기는 500m 격자크기를 기본으로 각각 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km, 12 km 격자크기의 지형자료를 사용하여 유출모의를 실시하고 유출량 변화를 모의하였다. 입력자료별 모의결과로 DEM의 분석결과는 모든 시험유역에서 공통적으로 DEM의 격자크기가 증가할수록 첨두유량과 총유출량이 일정하게 감소하는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 나머지 입력자료로 토지이용 및 토양도에 격자크기에 따른 모의결과는 DEM과는 상반되게 일정한 경향성을 나타나지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 일정한 경향성이 나타나는 DEM의 분석결과는 DEM의 격자크기가 증가할수록 수평거리가 증가하여 경사도는 감소하는 특징으로 인해 나타나는 결과인 것으로 판단된다.

In an effort to examine the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS ver. 4.3) to the initial meteorological input data, detailed observational data of NOAA satellite SST (Sea Surface Temperature) was employed. The NOAA satellite SST which is currently provided daily as a seven-day mean value with resolution of 0.1 o grid spacing was used instead of the climatologically derived monthly mean SST using in RAMS. In addition, the RAMS SST data must be changed new one because it was constructed in 1993. For more realistic initial meteorological fields, the NOAA satellite SST was incorporated into the RAMS-preprocess package named ISentropic ANalysis package (ISAN). When the NOAA SST data was imposed to the initial condition of prognostic RAMS model, the resultant performance of near surface atmospheric fields was discussed and compared with that of default option of SST. We got the good results that the new SST data was made in a standard RAMS format and showed the detailed variation of SST. As the modeling grid became smaller, the SST differences of the NOAA SST run and the RAMS SST43 (default) run in diurnal variation were very minor but this research can apply to further study for the realistic SST situation and the development in predicting regional atmospheric field which imply the regional circulation due to differential surface heating between sea and land or climatological phenomenon.
