The use of information on natural resources is indispensable to most agricultural activities to avoid disasters, to improve input efficiency, and to increase lam income. Most information is prepared and managed at a spatial scale called the "Hydrologic Unit" (HU), which means watershed or small river basin, because virtually every environmental problem can be handled best within a single HU. South Korea consists of 840 such watersheds and, while other watershed-specific information is routinely managed by government organizations, there are none responsible for agricultural weather and climate. A joint research team of Kyung Hee University and the Agriculture, forestry and Fisheries Information Service has begun a 4-year project funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and forestry to establish a watershed-specific agricultural weather information service based on "high definition" digital climate maps (HD-DCMs) utilizing the state of the art geospatial climatological technology. For example, a daily minimum temperature model simulating the thermodynamic nature of cold air with the aid of raster GIS and microwave temperature profiling will quantify effects of cold air drainage on local temperature. By using these techniques and 30-year (1971-2000) synoptic observations, gridded climate data including temperature, solar irradiance, and precipitation will be prepared for each watershed at a 30m spacing. Together with the climatological normals, there will be 3-hourly near-real time meterological mapping using the Korea Meteorological Administration's digital forecasting products which are prepared at a 5 km by 5 km resolution. Resulting HD-DCM database and operational technology will be transferred to local governments, and they will be responsible for routine operations and applications in their region. This paper describes the project in detail and demonstrates some of the interim results.

Them traffic accidents have been increased every year due to increasing of vehicles numbers as well as the gravitation of the population. The carelessness of drivers, many road weather factors have a great influence on the traffic accidents. Especially, the number of traffic accident is governed by precipitation, visibility, humidity, cloud amounts and temperature. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effect of road weather factors on traffic accident. We use the data of traffic accident, AWS weather factors (precipitation, existence of rainfall, temperature, wind speed), time zone and day of the week in 2013. We did statistical analysis using logistic regression analysis and decision tree analysis. These prediction models may be used to predict the traffic accident according to the weather condition.

It is very difficult to forecast accurately a damage from the natural disaster which occurs frequently due to the climate change. When the significant weather event is forecast, it will be able to minimize a damage with the suitable prevention action. But 2000's our country meterological disaster damage is a several trillion won. Therefore, this paper analyzes Korea Meterological Administration, Japan Meterological Agency, television and newspaper have reported, information substance, transmission system, an ex post facto valuation about typhoon Nabi between september $5{\sim}7$ in 2005 and heavy rainfall in 1998 at Japan. Through the investigation, we want to present basic data order to rises the application effect of disaster prevention meterological information. We think KMA must present many information report to promote a people's understanding about the meterological information and the serious disaster situation. Also the disaster damage estimation model development is necessary, which forecasts the accurate damage scale due to the weather event, such as typhoon, heavy rainfall, strong wind. And also we think the KMA, National Emergency Management Agency, related agency, television and newspaper must positive reports the contents which is suitable to disaster response phases and an ex post facto examination. Then it grasps the problem of disaster prevention meterological information and must improve effectively.

Purpose: Recent climate change makes weather-related disasters such as summer storms, heavy rains, winter snowfall disasters, and extreme cold temperature increase in trend. Heavy snowfall disasters requires speedy response due to various effects to traffic flows, buildings, and infrastructure. Heavy snowfall disaster response of South Korea is insufficient, even though heavy snowfall disasters affect urban safety. There have been lack of policy studies for heavy snowfall disasters. Method: This research analyzes case studies and explores implications using Information system technologies to snow removal vehicles and equipments for speedy snow removal during the heavy snowfall disasters. Results: Information system technology attachment to snow removal equipments can identify locations of snow removal vehicles and equipments for emergency period to support snow removal of adjacent jurisdictions. Conclusion: Case studies of this research can be further used for efficient application of snow removal tools of local governments.

무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network)는 차세대 IT 기술로서 소형, 저가, 저전력을 필요로 하며, 외부 환경의 모니터링과 제어기능을 수행할 수 있다. 이것은 소형 장치 안에 마이크로프로세서, 각종 센서, 액추에이터, 유 ${\cdot}$ 무선 통신 장치를 내장하는 수백 혹은 수천 개의 센서 노드로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 기상의 악천 후 속에서 차량 및 도로 상황 정보를 실시간으로 미리 획득하고 분석하여 운전자에게 미리 도로의 안전속도를 통보할 수 있는 실시간 차량 안전속도 서비스 시스템을 설계하고 구현된 결과를 보여 주고자 한다. 본 시스템은 노면의 종류 및 기상 상태 등에 대한 정보를 수집하여 이를 바탕으로 운전자에게 안전 속도를 알려줌으로써 교통사고를 효과적으로 예방할 수 있는 방법을 제공할 수 있다.

This study proposes a novel performance measure, which is referred to as Hazardous Spacing Index (HSI), to be used for evaluating safety of traffic stream on freeways. The basic principle of the proposed methodology is to investigate whether drivers would have sufficient stopping sight distance (SSD) under limited visibility conditions to eliminate rear-end crash potentials at every time step. Both Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) and Vehicle Detection Systems (VDS) data were used to derive visibility distance (VD) and SSD, respectively. Moreover, the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) method was adopted to predict both VD and SSD in estimating predictive HSIs, which would be used to trigger advanced warning information to encourage safer driving. The outcome of this study is also expected to be used for monitoring freeway traffic stream in terms of safety.

최근 이상기상현상과 기후변화로 인하여 국지적인 집중호우의 빈도 및 규모가 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 돌발 홍수 피해가 증가하고 있다. 레이더는 넓은 영역에 대해 고해상도의 강우 정보를 제공할 수 있으므로 위험기상 감시 및 실황 예측 모형의 입력자료로써 활용도가 높다. 레이더 강우량은 대기 중 강수입자에 대한 레이더 반사도와 강우강도의 Z-R 관계식으로 추정되기 때문에 강우 추정 과정에 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 특히, 우리나라의 여름철 한반도의 집중호우는 층운형 강우와 함께 대류형 강우가 동반되는 복합적인 강우시스템에서 자주 발생하지만, 레이더 강우는 일반적으로 단일 강우시스템에 대한 고정된 Z-R 관계식으로 추정하므로, 이러한 현상에 대해 과대 추정 혹은 과소 추정이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 집중호우에 적합한 강우를 추정하기 위해 2021년 8월 21일부터 8월 25일까지 경남 호우사례를 대상으로 층운형, 대류형, 열대형의 Z-R관계식과 반사도 조건에 따라 층운형과 적운형을 구분하여 Z-R 관계식을 적용하여 레이더 강우량 자료를 산출하였으며, 지상강우자료를 이용하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 레이더 자료 처리를 위해 Radar Software Library (RSL)를 이용하여 수평으로 1km 해상도의 1.5km CAPPI (Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) 자료로 변환하였다. 레이더 강우 추정의 정확도를 평가하기 위해 레이더 지점으로부터 100 km 이내에 위치하고 있는 기상관서와 자동기상관측소의 강우관측 결과와 비교·분석하였다.

Better understanding the mechanism of black ice occurrence on the road in winter is necessary to reduce the socio-economic damage it causes. In this study, intensive observations of road weather elements and surface information under the influence of synoptic high-pressure patterns (22^nd December, 2020 and 29^th January, and 25^th February, 2021) were carried out using a mobile observation vehicle. We found that temperature and road surface temperature change is significantly influenced by observation time, altitude and structure of the road, surrounding terrain, and traffic volume, especially in tunnels and bridges. In addition, even if the spatial distribution of temperature and road surface temperature for the entire observation route is similar, there is a difference between air and road surface temperatures due to the influence of current weather conditions. The observed road temperature, air temperature and air pressure in Nongong Bridge were significantly different to other fixed road weather observation points.
