Both exponents of distance and elevation into distance-and-elevation ratio method for estimating missing rainfall data are expressed as squares together but in this study the two exponents are differently separated and analyzed. We used 326 hourly rainfall events of precipitation data during 10 years of 2004 to 2013 observed at a base station of Pyeongchang and the five neighboring index stations-Bangrim, Suju, Cheongoksan, Jinbu, Yeongwol1-in Han River basin for a case study. As a result, exponent values of distance and elevation appropriate for a topography of the site appear as 3.7 and 0.57 respectively. The exponents of distance and elevation difference need to be applied according to topographical characteristics of site where estimating missing data or interpolation are required.

수자원에 대한 효율적 활용 요구가 증대됨에 따라 한반도 수리적 특성을 보다 정밀하게 모의하고 이를 활용한 의사결정이 요구되고 있다. 한반도는 지리적 특성상 약 70%가 산학 구조로 되어 있어서 지형적 기상 현상이 복잡하여 가뭄지수의 공간 보간에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 지형적 특성-거리, 고도, 해양에서의 거리, 지향면 등을 고려할 수 있는 PRISM 기법을 기존의 공간 보간 기법과 비교 분석하여 한반도 전역의 가뭄 특성에 적합한 공간 보간 기법을 검출하고자 하였다. 자료의 분석은 기상청에서 제공하는 강우 관측소중 40년 이상의 연한을 가지고 있는 60개 지점을 선정하여 분석하였으며 방법 간의 비교는 지점을 선정하여 추정된 오차를 기초로 하여 판단하였다. 분석결과 PRISM 기법이 복잡한 지형적 특성을 가진 지역에서 더 적합한 방법으로 나타났다. 향후 연구에서는 미개측 지역의 가뭄지수 분석을 시행하여 관측소가 설치되지 않은 지역의 적합한 가뭄 특성을 분석하여 효율적인 수자원 활용을 위한 적절한 의사결정 지표를 선정하고자한다.

본 연구에서는 현재 가뭄을 관측하는데 주로 이용되는 가뭄지수의 단점 등을 보완하고자 가뭄에 관련되는 식생지수를 연계한 공간해상도 높은 가뭄지수를 제시하였다. 우리나라 지상관측을 통해 산출할 수 있는 PDSI(Palmer Drought Severity Index)와 SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index) 같은 가뭄지수는 기온과 강수량 등의 기후자료만을 이용하여 산정할 수 있다. 두 가뭄지수는 관측하기 어려운 가뭄의 시기와 심도를 설명하고자 여러 연구를 통해 개발한 지수이지만, 두 가뭄지수만을 가지고 우리나라 전역의 가뭄의 공간적인 분포를 설명하기에는 다소 무리가 있다. PDSI의 경우 강수량과 기온과 토양의 수분함유량을 가지고 산출하는데, 전 관측지점을 똑같은 토양수분함유량을 가지고 있다는 가정 하에 계산되고, SPI의 경우 강수량만을 이용하여 산정한다. PDSI의 경우 과거의 가뭄의 정도를 판단하는데 매우유용하다고 알려져 있다. 하지만, 현재의 가뭄정도를 나타내는 데는 문제를 가지고 있고, SPI의 경우는 누적강수량을 가지고 시간단위로 계산한다는 점에서 다양한 가뭄의 정도를 예측할 수 있지만, 입력 자료로 강수량만 들어간다는 점에서 약점을 가진다. 이런 기후지수만을 이용한 가뭄정보 생산이 공간정보를 구현하는데 한계를 가지는 문제점을 개선하고자 가뭄에 직간접적으로 관련이 있는 보다 세밀한 공간정보를 가진 식생, 토지이용, 고도 등의 자료와 기후정보로부터 산정된 가뭄지수간의 관계를 분석하였다. 나아가 기존의 기후지수보다 고해상도를 가진 위성의 정규식생지수(NDVI; Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)와 같은 식생지수를 이용하여 기존보다 더 향상된 해상도의 가뭄지수를 산정하고자 하였다. 우리나라 지상관측소 76개 지점 중에 MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 정규식생지수 자료와의 관계를 분석하고자 자료의 보유기간이 짧은 지점과 섬지점 등을 제외한 57개 지점을 선정하고, 연구기간동안의 강수량과 기온자료를 이용하여 PDSI와 SPI를 산출하였다. PDSI와 SPI자료를 고해상도 가뭄지수 산정의 기본 변수로 사용하기 위하여 역거리가중평균법을 이용한 연구기간동안의 한반도 지역 PDSI와 SPI 가뭄지수 지도를 생산하였다. 각각의 가뭄지수와 식생 상태를 나타내는 NDVI와의 상관특성과 계절 변화에 따른 변화특성을 분석하고, CART(Classification and Regression Trees) 알고리즘을 이용하여, 지상 자료만을 사용한 가뭄지수가 가지는 시공간적 변화 특성 제시에 대한 문제점을 개선한 보다 해상도가 높은 조합가뭄지수를 제시하였다.

In this study, a number of distance-dependent competition indices on tree-level which incorporate the tree sizes and distances to competitors, and traditional stand-level density measures were estimated from the data compiled with position-dependent survey in a Pinus densiflora stand. The performance of the estimated competition indices was examined by comparing the relationship with the diameter growth, and a dbh growth function, in which the competition index is considered as a one of influence factors, are developed. In the searching method of competing trees, the competition index estimated with $30^{\circ}$ competition interrupting angle showed the highest correlation with the annual dbh growth, while the expanding the competing zone distance had no significant effect on the performance of competition index in estimating annual dbh growth. The most of the examined stand-level competition indices, based on distance-dependent single-tree competition indices, were evaluated to describe similarly the stand competition status. As a result of partial correlation analysis in which the effect of age and site index are eliminated, Alemdag's mean competition index and relative spacing index were determined to have the highest correlation with dbh. The relative spacing index, which can be easily measured in field without measuring the position of individual trees, was considered to be a better suited one for estimating mean dbh of a stand. Among distance-dependent competition indices on tree-level, Hegyi's competition index showed the best performance in their correlation with annual dbh growth, if eliminated the effect of site index and dbh. This enabled to derive the following annual dbh growth function of individual trees which incorporate age, dominant height, dbh and Hegyi's competition index as influence factors : $$dbh^{\prime}=3.975362676{\cdot}age^{-1.099274613}{\cdot}ho^{0.199893990}{\cdot}dbh^{0.269430865}{\cdot}HgCI^{-0.353643587}$$ This function is coincided to the growth principle in which site index has a positive effect on the annual dbh growth, while high age or competition causes to reduce the annual dbh growth, and can be used as a function in single tree growth model.

The degree to which microenvironmental factors are linked to spatial patterns of vegetational factors within ecosystems has important consequences for our understanding of how ecosytems are structured and for conservation of rare species in ecosystems. We studied this relationships between the spatial patterns of microenvironmental factors and vegetational factors in temperate hardwood forest in Mt. Jumbong Biological Reserve Area, Korea. To do this, environmental and vegetational factors from 196 micropoints in a 0.49 ha plot were investigated. Most of all environmental factors and vegetational factors showed the variations among micropoints. Microtopographic factors, litter depth, soil moisture content and relative light intensity at this site were spatially dependent at a scale of 14∼62 m. Coverage of tree and shrub layer and species diversity of herb layer in autumn were spatially dependent at a scale of < 15 m. Species richness and species diversity of herb layer in spring and species richness of herb layer in autumn were spatially dependent at a scale of 28∼48 m. Multiple regression analysis showed that spatial patterns of species richness and species diversity of herb layer in spring and autumn were affected by litter depth, slope, subtree layer, shrub, Sasa borealis etc. The best predictor for the spatial patterns of species richness and species diversity of herb layer at this site was the spatial pattern of litter depth. Species richness and species diversity of herb layer showed strongly negative correlation with litter depth. We estimate that the spatial pattern of litter depth at this site were affected by direction of wind, microtopography and spatial pattern of shrub layer.

To investigate edge vegetation structure and edge species in Kaya Mountain National Park, field survey was executed from July to August, 1989 and the result are as follows. Cantilevered and advancing types of edge vegetation were observed on site, The relative importance values of major species were changed along distance from edge to forest interior and were seemed to be affected by aspect, soil moisture and present tree layer vegetation. Especially, light-oriented species were observed as a codominant species under pine tree canopy due to selective allelopathy effect and thin canopy. Ecological indices according to the distance from edge to forest interior did not show regular pattern, but edge depth was estimated as 15-20m, approximately, Dominant species of edge seemed to be affected by soil moisture rather than altitude and aspect, but floristic similarities seemed to be affected by altitude. Frequency classes of edge species were different by aspect, altitude and physiogra-phical location. Lespedeza maximowiczii, Weigela subsessilis and Fraxinus rhynchophylla showed high frequency class in all environment conditions.

We examined the temporal characteristics of the oceanic eddy diffusion at 5 coastal regions of Korea by measuring the separation distances of multiple drifters released simultaneously at the same by the GPS and Decca transponder system. The observed variance of separation distance, for the time scales from minutes to hours, is proportional to t/SUP m/ with scaling exponent m between 1.2 and 2.0. The observed Lagrangian trajectories of drifters show fractal characteristics instead of random walk or Brown motion. As an effort toward a development of a realistic model of the oceanic eddy diffusion, we simulated the Lagrangian trajectories of drifters by fractional Brown motion (FBM) model. The observed variances of drifter separations can be generated by the FBM process provided the Hurst exponent is the same as the observed one. We further showed that the observed power law in the variance of drifter separations cannot be simulated with an ordinary Brown motion or random walk process.

This study was intended to set development priorities for five undeveloped neighborhood parks scattered throughout the downtown area of Cheongju City using a PDPI(Park Development Pressure Index). In order to calculate the PDPI, this study employed an additive integration method. The PDPI was graded from 1 to 5, based on the evaluation scores in accordance with nine indicators selected through literature reviews and interviews with public officials. The indicators have been classified into three categories: physical environment, utilization possibility, and facility distribution. The indicators are as follows: 1) 'altitude and inclination' and 'NDVI' as physical environment indicators; 2) 'ratio of residential area', 'forecasted utility population', 'undeveloped period', 'redevelopment near parks', 'ratio of area divided by main streets', reflecting utilization possibility; and 3) 'Distance between Neighborhood Parks' and 'Distribution of alternative facilities' as facility distribution. The following results were found: 1) three neighborhood parks including 'Sagic 2', 'Sachen', and 'Dangsan' were ranked in the first grade of PDPI; and, 2) one neighborhood park 'Samsungdang' was ranked in the fifth grade of PDPI. The above results mean that among undeveloped neighborhood parks, three have been exposed to extremely strong park development pressure, and that while two neighborhood parks have had strong exposure to park development pressure due to potential users according to their close location to Sagic Ro, an east-west main axis of Cheongju City, one neighborhood park has had weak exposure to development pressure because of the close location to 'Chuungbuk National University' and a lack of residential areas, showing a low possibility for development.

The pattern of headward erosion at tributary and the separation zone formation in a loosed bed at confluence according to the confluence angle, discharge ratio, and dredging depth ratio have been analyzed. The separation zone is defined the inside of zero velocity boundary at downstream of confluence. The limit of separation zone occurrence is presented with dredging depth ratio. The propagation length of knickpoint increases as the confluence angle, discharge ratio, and dredging depth ratio increase in general and its regression equation has been suggested. The length and width ratios of separation zone in a loosed bed increase as discharge ratio and confluence angle increase as well as in a fixed bed. The length ratio decreases and the width ratio increases as dredging depth ratio increases results in great increase of shape factor and backwater rise by the conveyance reduction at confluence. The regression equation of shape factor with confluence angle, discharge ratio, and dredging depth ratio has been suggested.

The distance between the source and the detector, the diameter of the detector, and the volume effect of the radiation source result in a change in solid angle at the detector entrance, which affects the determination of detection efficiency by causing a difference in path length within the detector. A typical analysis method for calculating solid angles was useful only for a source (⁶⁰Co) with a simple geometric structure, so in this experiment, the distance between the detector and the source was measured by switching on for up to 25 cm with the reference point of window cap 0.5 cm. In addition, 450 and 1000 ㎖ Marinelli beaker of standard volumetric sources were closely adhered to the detector. For circular point sources co-axial with the detector, the change in the solid angle to the distance from the detector window is equal to half the square radius of the source versus the square radius of the detector, if the resulting relationship of the calculation analysis results in the detector being less than the radius of the source. Since the solid angular difference is 0.5 the result of Monte Carlo is acceptable. The relationship between detector and source distance is shown. Solid angles have been verified to decrease rapidly with distance. Measurement and simulation results for a volumetric source show a difference of ±1.01% from a distance of 0 cm and less than 4 % when the distance is reduced to 5 and 10 cm. It can be seen that the longer distance, the smaller efficiency angle, and the exponential increase in attenuation as the energy decreases, is reflected in the calculation of efficiency. Thus, the detection efficiency has proved sufficient for the use of solid angle and Monte Carlo codes.
