The address system in Korea was changed to the road-based system in 2014, but the current address coordinates are still largely based on the old, parcel-based system. Compared to the parcel-based address system that defines the center of a parcel as its coordinates, the road-based system locates the coordinates at a certain distance away from the road on which the parcel fronts. The difference in coordinates between these two systems is small, but it can be crucial for micro-level modelling. In order to assess the impact of the discrepancy between the two address systems, this study measured the degree of air pollution exposure at two different locations, the road-based address coordinates and the parcel-based address coordinates, for each of 252 buildings in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. The air pollution values were estimated using a microscopic air pollution dispersion model, CALINE4, and t-tests and F-tests were conducted to evaluate statistical significance on the observed difference. The results showed a considerable difference in the level of air pollution exposure between the two address systems, suggesting that the on-going use of the parcel-based address coordinates could cause potentially significant errors in micro-level analysis.

The purpose of this study is to estimate air purification effectiveness considering the improvement of its methods related atmospheric environment. The air purification effectiveness is estimated in Daegu, one out of Korean Metropolitan cities because air pollution is getting serious in a heavily urbanized area. The absorption of pollutants is calculated by considering spatial heterogeneity that was not considered previous studies and the spatial resolution of air dispersion modeling is also improved by kriging method. According to the type and distribution of urban forest, total 26 kinds of plant communities were distributed with Pinus densiflora community, Pinus densiflora-Quercus mongolica community, Pinus densiflora-Quercus acutissima community and other kinds of communities in the study area. In the results of estimating the $CO_2$ absorption amount for identification of the air purification effectiveness on urban forest, the annual absorption amount was total 108,155t/yr. Also, the annual absorption amounts of $NO_2$ and $SO_2$ were total 183.5 ton and 410.2 ton respectively. The findings from this study can confirm the differences of pollutant absorption by concentration that could not identify if spatial distribution of pollutant concentration had not been considered.

To investigate air quality away from the coastal urban source region, we used a hybrid Eulerian - Lagrangian method which can describe the formation, transport, transform and deposition processes in complex terrain, with inclusion of shipping sources that were considered to be important emission in the coastal urban region. The result of the Eulerian advection - diffusion prediction was quite similar to that of the Lagrangian particle diffusion prediction. It showed that pollutants emitted from Sasang and Janglim industrial complexes can affect Hwamyeong and the coastal, respectively. During the daytime the concentration was low due to large deposition flux and terrain effect.

서울지역의 고농도 오존 현상은 초여름인 6월에 집중적으로 나타난다. 이러한 이유는 오존 생성에 적절한 기상조건이 형성되기 때문으로, 강한 일사량과 상대적으로 적은 강수빈도가 주된 원인임을 기존 여러 연구에서 밝히고 있다. 하지만 6월 고농도 현상의 보다 정확한 원인 해석을 위해서는 오존의 수송 및 도시 내 축적과정과 관련된 기상효과의 이해가 필요하며, 이는 종관장 패턴과 국지기상의 상호 유기적인 영향을 분석함으로서 가능하다. 또한 6월 고농도 현상은 봄철 성층권/상부대류권 오존의 연직수송과 관련한 특정 고농도 사례와는 달리 빈도 높은 서울의 전형적인 오존오염 형태로 볼 수 있으며, 6월 고농도 사례일의 오존 모델링을 통해 이를 정확히 이해할 필요가 있다.

Air quality modeling for coastal urban region has been composed of a complex system including meteorological, chemical and physical processes and emission characteristics in complex terrain. In this study, we studied about an effect prediction for deposition phenomenon affecting on air quality in Pusan metopolitan metropolitan city. In air quality modeling including ship sources, a situation considered deposition process habe better result than not considered when compared with observed value. Air pollutants emitted into urban air during the daytime nearly removed through urban atmosphere polluted. Also these phenomena correlated concentration variation connent with sea/land breezes and terrain effect. Therefore we conclude that the concentration was low at daytime when deposition flux is high, and deposition effect on industrial complex and Dongrae region is considerable in particular.

The purpose of this study is enhancing CFD model by applying detailed and accurate CFD input data produced from 3D City model and integrating CFD model with 3D city model with OpenGL, 3D city aerodynamic simulation, and visualization tool. CFD_NIMR_SNU model developed by NIMR and SNU and 3D City model produced by NGII were used as input data. Wind flow and pollution diffusion simulator and viewer were developed in this study. Atmospheric environment simulation and visualization tool will save time and cost for urban climate planning and management by enhancing visual communication.

Concerns on the air pollution problem caused by ambient fine particles have become a big social issue in Korea. Important factors that should be addressed to develop effective and efficient air quality management policy, especially, against fine particles are discussed and research and policy directions to address these factors are suggested. It is suggested that two factors are in high priority; one is scientific understanding of the major formation mechanisms of fine particles and the other is the process of policy decision and implementation. For the scientific understanding, smog chamber measurement, intensive field study, and chemical transport model development that can simulate the characteristics of Northeast Asia are considered to be important. For the policy directions, priority setting of the proposed policies and development and implement of effective communication sytem are considered to be important.

최근 비점오염원 부하의 심각성이 알려지면서 4대강 유역을 중심으로 비점오염원의 조사 및 관리를 위한 대책 마련과 제도관 관리방안이 모색되고 있다. 이중 낙동강 유역은 총 면적 약 $23,384km^2$로 국토 전체 면적의 약 1/4을 차지하고 있지만 연평균 강수량은 1,186mm로 4대강 수계 중 가장 적어 갈수기에 자연 하천유량의 부족 및 유역외 지역에서의 공업용수 사용으로 낙동강하류의 유량감소를 초래하여 수질악화와 생태계 파괴가 심화되고 있는 상황에서 비점오염물질로 인해 그 피해가 가중되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도시지역, 도로, 농경지, 토양침식물, 축사유출물, 대기강하물 등 광범위한 지역에서 강우 유출수와 함께 배출되는 비점오염물질을 처리하기 위하여 낙동강 수계내 대구 달성 소유역에 시범적으로 설치 운영중인 저감시설(CDS)의 수질 및 유량 모니터링 자료를 이용하여 대상유역의 강우-유출 특성 및 오염부하량 특성을 살펴보고, 전체유역의 유출발생량과 비점오염원 저감시설의 유입량 대비 처리 효율을 분석함으로써 오염부하량 발생 및 저감효율에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 강우-유출 및 수질 모니터링 자료를 이용하여 모형(XP-SWMM)의 검보정을 실시하여 모델링 매개변수를 조정하였고, 강우-유출해석을 실시하여 대상유역의 년간 유출특성 및 비점 오염원 저감시설의 년간 오염부하량 저감율을 분석하였다.

A local wind model and a three dimensional local environmental model including advection, diffusion, deposition. and photochemical reactions were performed at Gwangyang Bay, Korea, to predict air flow and air pollutants concentrations. A large grid was used, and nesting method was employed for small grid calculation. From the meterological module simulation, we were able to reproduce local wind characteristics such as sea/land winds and mountain/valley winds simulation at Gwangyang Bay. In addition, the concentration module showed high concentration regions at Yosu industrial complex, Gwangyang steel company. and Container anchor. It was also seen that air pollutants were dispersed by sea/land winds. A comparison between the measurement and the prediction of sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide, which are relatively low-reacted pollutants, was performed. However, the measured nitrogen dioxide and ozone concentrations were higher than the simulated ones. Particularly, ozone concentration between 8 a..m. and 8 p.m. agreed well, but the measured ozone during the rest of time were generally higher.

Predictability of a Gaussian model, ISCST2 was assessed by scaling up wind tunnel experiments with a 1/3,000 terrain model to the real scale. Concentration profiles obtained from the flat-terrain experiment in the neutral condition were estimated to be in agreement with the calculated ones from ISCST2 in the stability class A, but the difference between the two was still large. Concentration profiles from the mountainous-terrain experiments were better fitted to the calculated ones primarily because in the experiment, concentration behind the source was raised due to the effect of a hill in the upstream side. Model prediction was improved with including the downwash effect of buildings and the hill, but overall concentration profiles were not much different from a typical Gaussian profile. While concentration profiles in the experiments were changed with local flows by varying the wind direction and the topography, those from the Gaussian modeling were mot freely changed together with these variations.
