Abstract

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, drones have become a flexible device that can be integrated with new technologies. The drones were originally developed as military unmanned aircraft and are now being used in various fields. In the environment and weather observation area, the atmospheric boundary layer is near the surface where the atmosphere is the most active in the meteorological phenomenon and has a close influence on human activities. In order to carry out the study of these atmospheric boundary layers, it is necessary to observe precisely the lower atmosphere and secure the observation technology. The drones in the meteorological field can be used for meteorological observations at a relatively low maintenance cost compared to existing equipment. When used in conjunction with various sensors, the drones can be widely used in atmospheric boundary layer and local meteorological studies. In this study, the possibility of meteorological observations using drones was confirmed by conducting vertical meteorological (temperature and humidity) observation experiments equipped with a combined meteorological sensor and a radio sonde on drones owned by NIMS.

4차산업혁명시대에 드론은 새로운 기술과 접목할 수 있는 유연한 기기로 자리매김하였다. 드론은 처음에 군사용 무인 항공기로 개발되었으며, 지금은 다양한 분야(건설, 물류·운송, 소방·안전, 환경·기상, 농업, 뉴스·미디어, 등)에 활용되고 있다. 환경 기상 관측 부분에서 대기경계층은 지표면에 가까워 기상현상이 가장 활발히 일어나는 대기층으로 인간 활동에 밀접한 영향을 준다. 이러한 대기 경계층의 연구 수행을 위하여 하층 대기에 대한 정밀 관측이 필요하며, 이에 따른 관측 기술의 확보가 필수적이다. 기상 분야에서의 드론은 항공기, 라디오존데 등 기존 장비에 비하여 비교적 저렴한 유지비용으로 기상관측에 활용이 가능하며, 다양한 센서와 함께 활용할 경우, 대기경계층 및 국지 기상연구에 폭넓게 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국립기상과학원에서 보유중인 드론에 복합기상센서 및 라디오존데 센서를 탑재후 연직 기상관측(온도, 습도) 실험을 수행함으로써 드론을 활용한 기상관측의 가능성을 확인하였다.
