Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate the climatic impact of $PM_{10}$ concentration on the temperature change pattern in Busan Metropolitan City(BMC), Korea during 2001~2015. Mean $PM_{10}$ concentration of BMC has gradually declined over the past 15 years. While the highest $PM_{10}$ concentration was observed in spring followed by winter, summer, and fall on average, the seasonal variations of $PM_{10}$ concentration differed from place to place within the city. Frequency analysis showed that the most frequently observed $PM_{10}$ concentration ranged from $20{\mu}g/m^3$ to $60{\mu}g/m^3$, which accounted for 64.6% of all daily observations. Overall, the west-high and east-low pattern of $PM_{10}$ concentration was relatively strong during the winter when the effect of yellow-dust events on the air quality was weak. Comparative analyses between $PM_{10}$ concentration and monthly temperature slope derived from generalized temperature curves indicated that the decreasing trend of $PM_{10}$ concentration was associated with increases of annual temperature range, and $PM_{10}$ concentration had a negative relationship with the temperature slope of warming months. Overall, $PM_{10}$ concentration had a weak correlation with the annual mean temperature, but it had a significant, positive correlation with the winter season, which had a dominant influence on the annual mean temperature. In terms of energy budget, it has been known that the change in $PM_{10}$ concentration contributes to the warming or cooling effect by affecting the radiative forcing due to the reflection and absorption of radiant energy. The correlation between $PM_{10}$ concentration and temperature changes in the study area was not seasonally and spatially consistent, and its significance was statistically limited partly due to the number of observations and the lack of potential socioeconomic factors relevant to urban air quality.

본 연구의 목적은 2001~2015년 동안 부산광역시의 $PM_{10}$ 농도가 기온변화 패턴에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 최근 15년간 관측된 부산광역시 $PM_{10}$ 농도는 꾸준한 감소 추세를 보이고 있다. 계절적 $PM_{10}$ 농도는 평균적으로 봄철에 가장 높게 나타났고, 겨울철, 여름철, 가을철의 순으로 관측되었지만, 관측 지점별로 계절적 평균 농도 순위는 일정하지 않았다. $PM_{10}$ 농도의 구간별 발생 빈도를 분석한 결과, 가장 높은 빈도로 관측된 미세먼지 농도는 $20{\mu}g/m^3{\sim}60{\mu}g/m^3$ 범위로 조사되었고, 이는 전체 관측일수의 64.6%에 달했다. 황사일과 비황사일의 월평균 농도를 공간적으로 비교한 결과, 황사의 영향이 상대적으로 작은 겨울철에 미세먼지 농도의 서고동저 패턴이 다소 강하게 나타난 반면, 황사의 영향이 증가하는 봄철에는 지역적 차이가 감소하였다. 단순화된 연간 기온 곡선을 이용하여 산출한 월평균 기온증감률을 $PM_{10}$ 농도와 비교한 결과, $PM_{10}$ 농도 변화는 연구지역 평균 기온상승률과 음의 상관관계를 보임에 따라 $PM_{10}$ 농도 감소 추세는 연중 기온 변화 폭(연교차)의 증가 경향으로 이어졌다. 전체적으로 $PM_{10}$ 농도 변화는 연평균기온과는 미미한 상관관계를 나타냈지만, 연평균기온에 지배적인 영향을 주는 겨울철로 국한할 때 $PM_{10}$ 농도와 기온은 비교적 높은 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 에너지 수지 측면에서, $PM_{10}$ 농도 변화는 복사에너지의 반사와 흡수에 따른 복사강제력에 영향을 미쳐 온난화 또는 냉각효과에 기여하게 되는데, 연구지역의 $PM_{10}$ 농도 변화와 기온 변화 간의 상관관계는 시공간적으로 일정하지 않고 도시 대기 질에 연관된 사회경제적 요인이 고려되지 않아 통계적 유의성은 제한적으로 나타났다.
