Abstract

S-band, C-band and X-band radars are used for weather observation purposes. Since the Meteorological Administration, the Ministry of Environment, and Republic of Korea Air Force operate radars according to the purpose of observation by departments, the installation site and observation characteristics are different. From a meteorological point of view, blind observational areas in the low level with an elevation of less than 1 km around the mountainous terrain near Jirisan and Taebaeksan. Assuming a small radar installation, we simulated low-level observations. In order to monitor dangerous weather in North Korea, we analyzed the precipitation of North Korea and simulated a large radar network. Finally, a radar network for Korean Peninsula was proposed.

S 밴드, C 밴드 그리고 X 밴드 레이더는 기상 관측을 목적으로 사용되고 있다. 기상청, 환경부, 공군은 부처별 관측 목적에 따라 레이더를 운용하고 있기 때문에 설치 지점과 관측 특성이 서로 다르다. 기상 관측 관점에서는 지리산과 태백산 인근의 산악 지형을 따라 고도 1 km 이하의 저층 관측의 한계 지역이 나타난다. 소형 레이더 설치를 가정하여 저층 관측 보완을 모의하였다. 또한, 북한 지역의 위험 기상 감시를 위해 북한의 강수를 분석하고 대형 레이더 관측망을 모의하였다. 종합하여 한반도 레이더 관측망 구축안을 제시하였다.
