Abstract

This study aims to investigate the change of seasonal trend appeared in the daily normals of wintertime daily mean temperature of Seoul for 1941~1970 and 1971~2000 and the factors to affect it. The lowest temperature in wintertime is appeared in the period of the first and second ten-days of January in the daily normals for 1941~1970 and in the third ten-days of January and the first ten-days of February for 1971~2000. This means seasonal trend was changed. This change is due to the fact average temperature from 27 December to 20 January is rising much more than the wintertime mean temperature and average temperature from 21 January to 9 February less than that for two daily normals. This features are notable after 1971. The Siberian high and norther wind around the Korean Peninsula are weakened remarkably recently, so mean temperature of Seoul from 27 December to 20 January is warming much more. On the other hand, the Siberian high from 21 January to 9 February is weakened and the Aleutian low is strengthened recently and northerly is not change obviously, so temperature of Seoul is not warming so much.

이 연구에서는 서울의 1941~1970년(가 기간)과 1971~2000년(나 기간)의 일 평년 기온에 조화분석을 적용하여 계절 추이를 산출, 이의 변화 양상을 살피고, 계절 추이와 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하였다. 그 결과 겨울철의 가장 낮은 기온이 가 기간에는 1월초 중순에 나타났으나 나 기간에는 1월 하순~2월 초순에 나타나 계절 추이가 변화되었음을 나타냈다. 이러한 변화는 12월 27일~1월 20일(전기)의 기온이 보다 많이 상승한 반면 1월 21일~2월 9일(후기)의 기온이 보다 적게 상승하였기 때문에 나타났다. 가 기간의 일 평년값에 대한 전기와 후기의 기온 펀치는 1970년 이전에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 1971년 이후에 차이가 컸다. 전기의 경우 시베리아 고기압이 근래에 뚜렷하게 약화되면서 우리나라 부근의 북풍이 약화되어 서울의 기온이 많이 상승하였다. 반면 후기의 경우 시베리아 고기압이 근래에 약화되었으나 알류샨 저기압이 발달하여 우리나라 부근의 북풍은 크게 약화되지 않아 서울 기온이 많이 상승하지 않았다.
