Abstract

Temperature lapse rate within the planetary boundary layer shows a diurnal cycle with a substantial variation. The widely-used lapse rate value for the standard atmosphere may result in unaffordable errors if used in interpolating hourly temperature in complex terrain. We propose a simple method for estimating hourly lapse rate and evaluate whether this scheme is better than the conventional method using the standard lapse rate. A standard curve for lapse rate based on the diurnal course of temperature was drawn using upper air temperature for 1000hPa and 925hPa standard pressure levels. It was modulated by the hourly sky condition (amount of clouds). In order to test the reliability of this method, hourly lapse rates for the 500-600m layer over Daegwallyeong site were estimated by this method and compared with the measured values by an ultrasonic temperature profiler. Results showed the mean error $-0.0001^{\circ}C/m$ and the root mean square error $0.0024^{\circ}C/m$ for this vertical profile experiment. An additional experiment was carried out to test if this method is applicable for the mountain slope lapse rate. Hourly lapse rates for the 313-401m slope range in a complex watershed ('Hadong Watermark 2') were estimated by this method and compared with the observations. We found this method useful in describing diurnal cycle and variation of the mountain slope lapse rate over a complex terrain despite larger error compared with the vertical profile experiment.

경계층 내에서는 일중 시간대에 따라 기온감률의 변이가 크므로, 복잡지형의 기온분포 추정에 흔히 사용되는 표준기온감률보다 현실성 있는 매시 기온감률 추정 방법을 고안하였다. 이 방법에서는 기온 경시변동의 장기간 평균을 기준으로 하되, 표준등압면 1000-925hPa 층위의 기온감률을 이용하여 기온감률 표준곡선을 작성하고, 여기에 매시 운량에 따라 보정된 기온감률이 모의된다. 신뢰성 검증을 위해 대관령 지역에 적용하여 10개월 간 매시 기온감률을 추정하고 그 결과를 초음파 기온프로파일러로부터 얻은 지상 500-600m 층위 실측 기온감률과 비교한 결과, ME $-0.0001^{\circ}C/m$, RMSE $0.0024^{\circ}C/m$였다. 이 방법을 지상 1.5m에서 측정되는 산사면의 고도별 기온감률 추정에 적용할 수 있는지 확인하기 위해 복잡지형인 '하동2수위표' 표준유역의 313-401m 고도구간 매시 기온감률을 계산하였다. 해당 유역 산사면 여러 지점으로부터 실측기온을 얻어 기온감률을 구한 다음 추정값과 비교한 결과 대관령의 연직 프로파일에 비해 오차가 컸지만 하늘상태에 따른 일중 기온감률의 변동경향은 이 방법에 의해 모의할 수 있었다.
