The Prime objectives of this study are to identify and analyze possible solutions and select a solution for the specification and operation plan of the meteorological purpose aircraft in Korea. Infrastructure like meteorological purpose aircraft and aircraft operating systems should be set up and their efficient plan must be established to improve meteorological technic in Korea. As a result of the study, we have found that the turboprop engine powered aircraft is the most suitable to initial model for the meteorological purpose aircraft. It was found that the indirect operation method might be the best solution, also. The results of this study may be useful to make decision for selecting specification and operation of the meteorological purpose aircraft.

드론(drone)이라 불리는 무인항공기(UAV)가 무인전투기, 무인정찰기 등 군사용도를 벗어나 일상생활의 다양한 영역에서 그 쓰임새를 빠르게 찾아가고 있다. 미국 아마존과 구글, 독일 DHL, 중국 알리바바 등이 배달전용 드론을 시범 운영하고 있다. 미국 미네소타 주에 위치한 메이요(Mayo) 병원은 주변 소재 작은 병원에 수혈용 피를 운반하는데 드론을 이용하고 있다. 미국의 경우 수혈용 피 대부분이 대형 병원에 비축되어 있다. 지역의 작은 병원의 경우 1-2명의 환자를 위한 응급 피를 보관하고 있을 뿐이다. 이런 상황에서 혈액 배달 드론은 유용하게 기능할 수 있다. 그렇다고 벌떼처럼 드론이 도심을 떠다니는 일은 당분간 없을 것이다. 미국의 경우 드론사업과 관련하여 현재까지 매우 엄격한 '사전허가'가 요구된다. 그 누구도 하늘을 떠다니는 드론이 폭풍과 같은 기상 이변을 만나 자신의 머리 위로 또는 주택 위로 떨어지는 것을 원치 않기 때문이다.

Research papers published in the Korean Meteorological Society (KMS) journals by the members of KMS since the establishment of KMS in 1963 in the field of atmospheric physics are summarized. A significant number of research papers published in other international journals are also cited in this paper to highlight the achievement of the KMS members in international academic community. The aim is to illustrate the historical development of research activities of the KMS members in the field of atmospheric physics, and indeed it is found that the KMS members have made enormous progress in research publications quantitatively and qualitatively in the field of atmospheric physics. In detail, however, observational studies of aerosol physical properties and cloud and precipitation physics were very active, and studies on cloud physics parameterization for cloud modeling were highly recognized in the world, but observational and theoretical studies of atmospheric radiation were relatively lacking and solicit more contribution from the KMS members.
