본 연구는 1993년부터 2003년 동안 겨울철 제주도 지방에 눈이 내린 경우를 대상으로 대기가 해양으로부터 얻은 열교환량을 계산하여 보웬비(현열속/잠열속)와 강설간의 관계를 분석한 것이다. 대상지역은 제주도 4개 관측지점인 제주, 서귀포, 성산포, 고산이다. 적설 예측의 신뢰도를 높일 수 있는 방법을 찾기 위하여 바람과 같은 기상의 영향이 가미된 보웬비와 적설과의 관계를 해기차와 적설과의 관계와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 신적설 시, 지역별 최저 해기차는 제주시, 서귀포, 성산포, 고산에서 각각 10.9, 12.3, 11.5, 14.3˚C였고, 그 이상의 해기차에서 신적설 확률은 각각 26, 29, 13, 23%인데 비해, 신적설시 지역별 최저 보웬비는 각각 0.59, 0.60, 0.65, 0.65였고, 그 이상의 보웬비에서 신적설 확률은 33, 70, 31, 58%로 나타나 보웬비가 해기차보다 높은 확률을 보였다. 보웬비에 의한 확률이 해기차에 의한 확률보다 높게 나타나는 이유는 해기차에 의해 형성된 강설의 조건에 바람에 의한 열교환이 강설의 조건을 강화시킨 것이 보웬비에 나타났기 때문으로 생각된다. 10년(’93~’02)간 자료를 분석한 결과 각 지역별 신적설이 10.0~0.9cm 일 때 평균 보웬비는 0.63~0.67이고 신적설이 1.0~4.9cm 일때 평균 보웬비는 0.72 이상으로 조사되어 강설시 적설량과 보웬비는 비례관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The synoptic structural characteristics associated with heavy snowfall (Bukgangneung: 31.3 cm) that occurred in the Yeongdong area on 20 January 2017 was investigated using surface and upper-level weather charts, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis data, radiosonde data, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud product. The cold dome and warm trough of approximately 500 hPa appeared with tropopause folding. As a result, cold and dry air penetrated into the middle and upper levels. At this time, the enhanced cyclonic potential vorticity caused strong baroclinicity, resulting in the sudden development of low pressure at the surface. Under the synoptic structure, localized heavy snowfall occurred in the Yeongdong area within a short time. These results can be confirmed from the vertical analysis of radiosonde data and the characteristics of the MODIS cloud product.

The formation and development conditions of the cloud streets over the yellow sea by the Cold Surge of Siberian Anticyclone Expansion which produce the heavy snowfall events over the southwestern coast, Honam District of the Korean peninsula, has been investigated through analyses of the three dimensional snow cloud structures by using the CAPPI, RHI, VAD and VVP data of X-band Radar at Muan Weather Observatory and S-band Radar at Jindo Weather Station. The data to be used are obtained from January 04, 2003, when heavy snow storm hits on Gwangju and Honam District. The PPI Radar images show that the cloud bands distribute in perpendicular to the expansion direction of the high pressure and that the radius of cloud cells is about 5∼8km with 20∼30dBz and distance between each cell is about 10km. And but the vertical Radar images show that the cloud street is a small scale convective type cloud within height of about 3km where a stable layer exists. From the VVP images, the time period of the high pressure expansion, the moving direction and development stages of the system are delineated. Finally, the vertical distribution of wind direction is fairly constants, while the wind speed sheer increases with altitude to 3km.

To investigate the physio-chemical components and properties of aerosol particles in urban area sampling of aerosol particles was carried out in the campus of Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, during snowfall. Aerosol particles were collected on millipore filter papers using a low volume air sampler. Their shapes, sizes and chemical components were analyzed by a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and an EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray). As a results, ice crystals of dendrite and column types were predominantly shown at mature and developing stage of snowfall intensity. The denerite and sector plate types of ice crystals were mainly originated from the sea but column types were come from soil. Scavenging effect by snowfall was greatly also shown at dendrite type ice crystals that embryo was fully developd. Al, Si elements were shown at high frequencies as compared with others. Na, Cl components were especially shown at high frequencies under the sea-breeze wind during snowfall. Anthropogenic aerosol particles had shown with irregular shapes and sizes, relatively. Mainly 3-7㎛ aerosol particles were abundant and coarse particles also could be seen during snowfall. Ca, Zn, Fe components mainly caused by spike tires from vehicles in winter season were dominant before snowfall, however the element S mainly caused by human activity was rich after snowfall. The pH values of snow in Sapporo city were higher than those at coastal area. The concentration of chemical components in aerosol particles was also affected by surface winds. Aerosol particles in urban area, Sapporo were mainly affected by human activities like vehicles and combustion with wind system. And their types were related with snowfall intensity.
