Korean regional network of tower flux sites, KoFlux, has been initiated to better understand $CO_2$, water and energy exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere, and to contribute to regional, continental, and global observation networks such as FLUXNET and CEOP. Due to heterogeneous surface characteristics, most of KoFlux towers are located in non-ideal sites. In order to quantify carbon and energy exchange and to scale them up from plot scales to a region scale, applications of various methods combining measurement and modeling are needed. In an attempt to infer regional-scale flux, four methods (i.e., tower flux, convective boundary layer (CBL) budget method, MM5 mesoscale model, and NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data) were employed to estimate sensible heat flux representing different surface areas. Our preliminary results showed that (1) sensible heat flux from the tower in Haenam farmland revealed heterogeneous surface characteristics of the site; (2) sensible heat flux from CBL method was sensitive to the estimation of advection; and (3) MM5 mesoscale model produced regional fluxes that were comparable to tower fluxes. In view of the spatial heterogeneity of the site and inherent differences in spatial scale between the methods, however, the spatial representativeness of tower flux need to be quantified based on footprint climatology, geographic information system, and the patch scale analysis of satellite images of the study site.

The final site of offshore wind power plant should be decided by comprehensive examination of various conditions such as wind resource, sea depth, geology, grid connection, social circumstance and environmental issue. Wind condition is typically regarded as the most important factor because wind energy increases in proportion to wind velocity and it directly relates to the amount of power output, efficiency of power plant and profitability. Advanced countries in the offshore wind power sector such as Denmark, UK and Germany, they are analyzing wind resource accurately by installing the meteorological mast in the ocean in order to get the optimal type of wind turbine and maximum generation efficiency. Also, it is made much of designing offshore power plant on the basis of actual measurement by met-mast and those wind farms have a chance to get the loan with reduced interest rate in project financing. In Korea, the HEMOSU-1 is installed in the ocean around Wido island to analyze wind resource of test bed of 100MW offshore wind power on october last year. This paper deals with the design and construction procedure of the first met-mast in Korea and also shows the site characteristics of test bed. Therefore, this paper will give useful information to local governments and private business sector who are trying to construct offshore wind farm and it can also be a good reference for the following projects of meteorological mast in near future.

We analyzed the meteorological and radiation characteristics of Seoul metropolitan area using data from energy flux towers that were installed and operated by the Weather Information Service Engine (WISE). The meteorological and radiation variables included temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, surface temperature, rainfall amount, upward and downward solar radiation, upward and downward longwave radiation, albedo and emissivity from 14 energy flux stations located in the Seoul metropolitan area from July 2016 to July 2017. According to the monthly data during the period, the albedo is low and emissivity is high at the Jungnang station in the urban and opposite at Bucheon station in the suburban area. For a station in natural state, the albedo was higher than urban stations because solar radiation reflects effectively. Relatively high temperatures were shown at stations located in urban area with low albedo and high emissivity, in general. However, temperature was high at Gajwa and Ttukseom stations, the albedo was relatively high due to the station environment surrounded by glass wall buildings and the Han river. In the station located in suburban area, both emissivity and temperature were low. Among these stations, Bucheon station had the highest emissivity values because the surface temperature was relatively lower than that of the suburban area. As a result, the albedo decreased and the emissivity increased at stations in urban areas. Additionally, Seoul metropolitan area had less than $100Wm^{-2}$ of net radiation, which implied that radiation energy could be absorbed in the atmosphere.

The swell is a major cause of interruption for the activity in a port and the ship navigation in coastal waters, coastal geographical changes, and the disaster with a loss of lives. However, many researches about the observation and the prediction of swells have not been conducted actively due to the difficulties to collect and synthesize the massive amount of long term field data for waves and meteorological information. In this study, the internet-based realtime monitoring system(Fieldbox) was developed to collect the wave data. The characteristics and main components of swells occurred in Korea were analyzed using wave data observed through the Fieldbox and the meteorological data collected by the KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration) and NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration). The characteristics of the swell generation patterns were analyzed using the monthly data of the Kwangan Tower between 2004 and 2006 to estimate the specific features such as sources and locations of swells generated in Korea.

증발산량 관측은 오랜 기간 연구되어 왔으며, 미기상 관측 시스템의 최적화와 상호 공동비교 실험 및 자료 처리의 일관성을 유지를 위해 한국에는 KoFlux라고 하는 플럭스 네트워크가 2002년 1월에 구축되었다. 이를 시작으로 미기상 관측에 대한 관심이 많은 연구자들이 관측망 구축에 힘쓰고 있으며, 에디공분산 방법을 이용해 증발산량을 산정하고 있다. 에디 공분산 방법은 다른 방법에 비해 연직농도 차이가 적은 산림 위에서의 플럭스 값을 측정 할 수 있으며, 측정 시 식물 환경에 방해를 주지 않는 등의 장점이 있다. 하지만 자료 처리와 품질관리에 있어 연구자의 주관성에 의해 상당 부분 불확실성을 초래한다. 또한 다른 관측지점과의 일관적인 비교를 위해 좌표보정을 수행하며, 일반적으로 바람이 평평한 지역 위로 분다는 가정 하에 이루어진다. 좌표보정은 일반적으로 Planar Fit Rotation방법을 사용하며, 평판 분할은 지형에 따라 12개까지 분할하여 분석한다. 하지만 덕유산 플럭스관측 타워지점처럼 산지 특성이 뚜렷하고 1 m/s이하의 풍속 데이터의 빈도가 큰 경우 평판 분할 수의 제한이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 좌표보정계수산정 방법에 따라 등간격의 평판분할 방법(Scenario A), 주풍향을 고려한 평판분할 방법(Scenario B)과 빈도에 의한 평판분할방법(Scenario C)으로 수행하였다. 또한 각 Scenario는 풍속의 제한 조건에 따라 CASE A(0.5 m/s 이상), CASE B(1.0 m/s이상)로 구분하여 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안 한 자료처리 절차는 첫째, 바람자료의 빈도 분석을 통한 지역특성 파악 둘째, 풍속제한 조건 설정 셋째, 바람과 수증기의 공분산 계산으로 요약된다. 덕유산 플럭스관측 타워지점의 경우 풍속 제한을 1.0 m/s이상에서 0.5 m/s이상으로 하향 조정하였으며, 평판 분할 방법은 Scenario C의 평판 수 12개를 채택하였다.

최근 전 지구적인 기후 변화에 따라 수문 순환을 이루고 있는 다양한 수문 기상 인자들의 변동성에 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히, 증발산은 수문순환을 구성하는 중요한 인자로서 대기와 지표간의 상호 작용을 파악하기 위해서는 이에 대한 정확한 이해 및 산정이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 증발산량을 산정하기 위해서 증발 접시 및 에디 공분산 기반 플럭스 타워에서 관측된 지점 자료만을 이용하여 증발산량의 변동성을 파악하는 연구들이 수행되어왔다. 그러나 지점 자료만을 이용하여 증발산량을 산출하게 되면 공간적인 변동성을 파악하는데 있어서 한계점이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 제약 사항을 해결하기 위해서, 인공위성 기반의 수문 기상인자를 물리식 기반 증발산량 산정식의 입력 자료로 구축하여 증발산량을 산정하고 이에 대한 시 간적인 변동성을 파악하는 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 인공위성 기반 증발산량 산정 알고리즘의 대표적인 예로 공기동역학적 항과 에너지 수지 항들을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 Penman-Monteith 방법을 근간으로 수정하여 만들어낸 Remote Sensing based Penman-Monteith (RS-PM) 알고리즘이 있다. 그러나 RS-PM 기반의 증발산량 경우 태양복사열, 풍속, 온도, 습도와 같은 많은 수문기상인자들이 입력 자료를 요구한다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 기존의 방법에 비해 상대적으로 적은 입력 자료를 사용하는 Modified Satellite-Based Priestley-Taylor (MS-PT) algorithm의 적용성을 평가하기 위해 MODerate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 자료를 이용하여 한반도에서 순복사에너지 (Net radiation) 및 실제 증발산량 (Actual evapotranspiration)을 산정하였다. 또한, 이에 대한 검증을 위해 청미천 유역에 설치되어있는 에디 공분산 기반 플럭스 타워에서 관측된 순복사 에너지 및 실제 증발산량에 대한 통계적 검증을 실시하였다.

Providing high-quality meteorological observation data at sites that represent actual farming environments is essential for useful agrometeorological services. The Automated Agricultural Observing System (AAOS) of the Korean Meteorological Administration, however, has been deployed on lawns rather than actual farm land. In this study, we show the inaccuracies that arise in AAOS data by analyzing temporal and vertical variation and by comparing them with data recorded by the National Center for AgroMeteorology (NCAM) tower that is located at an actual farming site near the AAOS tower. The analyzed data were gathered in August and October (before and after harvest time, respectively). Observed air temperature and water vapor pressure were lower at AAOS than at NCAM tower before and after harvest time. Observed reflected shortwave radiation tended to be higher at AAOS than at NCAM tower. Soil variables showed bigger differences than meteorological observation variables. In August, observed soil temperature was lower at NCAM tower than at AAOS with smaller diurnal changes due to irrigation. The soil moisture observed at NCAM tower continuously maintained its saturation state, while the one at AAOS showed a decreasing trend, following an increase after rainfall. The trend changed in October. Observed soil temperature at NCAM showed similar daily means with higher diurnal changes than at AAOS. The soil moisture observed at NCAM was continuously higher, but both AAOS and NCAM showed similar trends. The above results indicate that the data gathered at the AAOS are inaccurate, and that ground surface cover and farming activities evoke considerable differences within the respective meteorological and soil environments. We propose to shift the equipment from lawn areas to actual farming sites such as rice paddies, farms and orchards, so that the gathered data are representative of the actual agrometeorological observations.

수평적으로 균질한 지면 상태에서 에디 공분산 방법을 이용한 지표 플럭스 관측의 수평 규모는 측정 높이의 약 100 ∼ 200배이다(예, 최태진 등, 1999). Bottom-up 입장에서, 이 수평 규모는 지면 과정을 포함한 수치예보 모형이나 보다 큰 규모의 모형의 격자 간격보다 상당히 작다. 또한 실질적으로 자연 상태의 지면 조건은 엄밀한 의미에서 균질하지 않으며, 특히 우리나라의 경우는 지면 불균질성이 뚜렷이 나타난다.(중략)

As a preparation process for successful establishment of demonstration offshore wind farm, analyses have been made for working time at the construction site where working time is defined as the time available for marine operation to take place under given weather conditions. Data used are hourly wave and wind data from met mast, HeMOSU-1, and 3 hour numerical model data from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). Seasonal results show the minimum working time during winter and moderate during autumn and spring. The most working time was seen during summer on average. Monthly analyses show the most working time in May, June, and August which was higher than the working time in July and September. Working time reaches at steady state and no significant change was seen above wave height of 1.5 m and wind speed of 8 m/s.
