A disconnection event (DE) of the cometary plasma tail is one of most spectacular phenomena observed in comets. Yet, for years it has remained one of the great unsolved problems I astronomy and space physics. The solar wind is thought to play a major role in the creation of comet plasma tail (type Ⅰ) disconnection events. The goal of this paper is to present a mechanism that explains the disconnection event in terms of the local conditions at the comet. Comparison of the solar wind conditions and 16 DEs in Halley's comet shows that DEs are associated primarily with crossings of the heliospheric sector boundary and apparently not with any other properties of the solar wind, such as a high speed stream[Yi et al., 1994]. A 3-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulation in this paper supports this association by showing that only front-side magnetic reconnection between the reversed interplanetary magnetic fields that exist when a comet crosses the heliospheric sector boundary [Niedner and Brandt, 1978] could reproduce the morphology of a DE, including ray formation [Brandt, 1982].

A special upper-air observation including airsonde and pibal observations was performed to investigate the characteristics features of the vertical distribution of the meteorological elements over Taegu on a selected clear day of each season from October 1991 to August 1992. The diurnal and seasonal variations of the vertical profiles of air temperature and mixing ratio were obtained from airsonde observations and wind speed and direction from pibal observations. The results of these special upper-air observations are as follow : The diurnal variation of the vertical distribution of air temperature reveals the characteristic features associated with the atmospheric boundary layer. All case days, except for the summer season, show upper-level inversion layer which influenced by surface high, and surface inversion layer produced by radiative cooling. The diurnal variation of mixing ratio shows the maximum vale at 1500 LST in both the upper and low levels, and is larger on the lower level than the upper level. The mixing ratio of the lower level is larger than that of the upper level. On the average the mixing ratio decrease with the height, and is the wettest on the summer case day and the driest on the winter case day. The diurnal variation of the wind velocity and direction are variable in the lower level with time and height, while they are steady in the upper level. On the average, the wind direction is southerly or southeasterly for the summer case day, westerly or northwesterly for the spring and fall case days, and northerly or northwesterly for the winter case day.

This is the bibliographical compilation of papers in the fields of geodesy and geophysics published in the Republic of Korea during July 1993 to June 1994. Materials were mainly collected from the following publications.

열대 대서양의 해표면으로부터 500m 깊이까지의 계절별 담수 및 염분의 수송량과 방향을 조사하기 위하여, 먼저 연속방정식과 염분보존방정식에서 각각 이론적인 계산방법을 유도하고 관측자료를 사용하여 수송값들을 얻었다. 담수(강수량, 증발량, 그리고 강물방출량)의 기후자료에서 계산된 표면의 당수발산장을 북쪽에서 남쪽방향으로 적분하여 담수수송값을 얻었디. 연간 담수수송량의 방향은 북향으로 수송량은 적도부근에서 가장 적었고 (0 Sv), $12^{\circ}N와{\;}20^{\circ}{\;}N$부근에서 가장 많았다(0.3 Sv). 게절별 수송량의 크기는 북향 1.35 Sv괴 남향 O.45 Sv의 사이의 값을 보였고 강한 북향 수송량이 여름과 가을사이의 전이기간에서 나타났다. 이러한 계절별화는 지역적인 담수저장의 변화 뿐만 아니라 열대 수렴대의 이동과 관련이 있었다. 1900~86 기간의 염분관측값을 객관분석(objective analysis)한 후, 연간 및 계절별 염분 수송값을 계산하는데 사용하였다. 수평이류에 의한 염분수송량이 수형확산에 의한 수송량과 균형을 이룸으로 해서 연간 수송량은 없었다. 딘지 수평확산에 의한 염분수송량은 북향이었고 $15^{\circ}{\;}N$에서 최대값($5{\times}10^6kg/s$)을 보였다. 계절별 수송량의 크기는 북향 $30{\times}10^6kg/s$과 남향 $35{\times}l0^6kg/s$사이의 범위내에 있었다. 계절별 수송방향은 여릉과 가을사이의 기간을 제외하고 다른 기간에서 북향이었다.

Ionospheric sounding experiments have been conducted at RRL (Radio Research Laboratory), Ministry of Communications, using Digisonde 256 since its installation in 1990. Routine observations of the vertical sounding are carried out 48 times (or 39 times) a day, at every 24 hour. In addition, we also made oblique sounding experiments to obtain the real time data of Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) and detect the anomalous HF propagation, as a part of the joint study between RRL and CRL (Communications Research Laboratory) of Japan. The two stations involved in the study were Anyang (RRL, Korea) and Kokubunji (CRL, Japan). The ionosondes used in both stations were Digisonde 256, developed by ULCAR (University of Lowell, Center for Atmospheric Research), U. S. A. , and the synchronization of time was accomplished with the help of GPS receiver. During most part of the experiments RRL transmitted non-modulated pulses, and CRL received them. The experiment was scheduled from October 25 through October 29, 1993. However, the ionosphere was not developed well enough to conduct the experiment with pre-set operation parameters. The experiment became successful (from 0500 UT to 0800 UT, October 29) only after the operation parameters had been changed, and the continuous ionograms were obtained by CRL at 0718 UT and 0733 UT in October 29, 1993. We believe this type of experiment will ensure the qualitative enhancement of solar-terrestrial physics research and a routine observation of the oblique ionospheric sounding. In this report, we present the results of the fore-mentioned oblique sounding as well as the vertical sounding results obtained by Digisonde 256 at Anyang station of RRL.
