Abstract

Water vapor isotopes can be excellent tools for understanding complex mechanisms in the water cycle and atmospheric hydrological cycle and they can be applied to various fields of paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, hydrogeology, oceanography, and ecohydrology. Thus, studies of global or local transport of water vapor may be able to provide a very useful clue to better understand the movements of water and energy in the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. In this study, the isotopic compositions of water vapor have been observed for moisture transport during the passage of Typhoon Bolaven at Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), Incheon, in the western part of Korea, from August 27 to August 29, 2012. In the clear sky, the isotopic compositions of water vapor at KOPRI exhibited relatively higher isotopic ratios, which were near isotopic equilibrium with sea surface water (${\delta}^{18}O$=-14‰). On the other hand, a largely depleted isotopic ratios in surface water vapor were observed in association with the passage of Typhoon Bolaven (approximately 10‰ depleted compared to the clear sky). The fact that the isotopic minima in water vapor are encountered during the onset period of the Typhoon Bolaven with increases of relative humidity, which is consistent with, so called, "the amount effect".

물의 순환의 복잡한 기작을 이해하는 데 수증기동위원소는 중요한 단서를 제공할 수 있으며 지구과학의 다양한 영역(고기후학, 수리지질학, 대기학, 해양학 및 생태학)에 적용될 수 있다. 수분의 전지구적 또는 지역적 이동에 대한 연구는 물의 순환 및 대기에서의 에너지이동을 좀 더 잘 이해하는 데 도움을 줄 것이다. 본 연구에서는 해안근처에서의 수분의 이동을 파악하기 위해서 태풍 볼라벤이 한반도를 통과하는 기간동안(2012년 8월 27일부터 8월 29일까지) 수증기의 안정동위원소를 극지연구소에 설치된 동위원소분석기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 수분동위원소의 두 동위원소의 선형관계식($D=7.8x^{18}O+10.1$)으로부터 해양 기원의 수증기가 증발에 의해 이동되어 측정되었음을 알 수 있었다. 날씨가 맑을 때는 해양으로부터 증발되어 다른 물리적인 변동없이 직접 이동된 수증기의 동위원소 조성(산소동위원소, ${\delta}^{18}O$=-14‰)을 보여 주었으며, 태풍이 통과하면서 수분동위원소의 값은 10‰ 정도 낮은 값을 보였다. 태풍의 통과로 인해 상대습도는 증가하였으며 수분동위원소값은 감소하는 소위 "우량효과(amount effect)"를 보여주었다.
