The characteristics of variability of temperature and precipitation in Jeju were investigated using data observed in Jeju station for from 1924 to 2004. Annual mean temperature change for the last 81 years is $0.02^{\circ}C$ increase per year. After 1980, the increase is $0.05^{\circ}C$ per year, larger than the former. The increase of the minimum temperature is larger than that of the maximum temperature in Jeju and has resulted in the increase of mean temperature. The frequency of climate extreme occurrence of temperature and rainfall was also investigated. The temporal variation of frequency of the extremely higher temperature has increased in the 1980's with global warming. The appearance of the extremely lower minimum temperature has decreased during the summers and winters. The facts that the frequencies of rainy days has decreased and heavy rainfall days of more than 80 mm per day in precipitation has increased indicate the increase of rainfall intensity.

In this study, to estimate the occurrence of frost that has a negative effect on th growth of crops, we constructed to the statistical model. We factored such various meteorological elements as the minimum temperature, temperature at 18:00, temperature at 21:00, temperature at 24:00, average wind speed, wind speed at 18:00, wind speed at 21:00, amount of cloud, amount of precipitation within 5 days, amount of precipitation within 3 days, relative humidity, dew point temperature, minimum grass temperature and ground temperature. Among the diverse variables, the several weather factors were selected for frost occurrence estimation model using statistical methods: T-test, Variable importance plot of Random Forest, Multicollinearity test, Akaike Informaiton Criteria, and Wilk's Lambda values. As a result, the selected meteorological factors were the amount of cloud, temperature at 24:00, dew point temperature, wind speed at 21:00. The accuracy of the frost occurrence estimation model using Random Forest was 70.6%. When it applied to the main production areas of vegetables, a estimation accuracy of the model was 65.2 and 78.6%.

This study was conducted to develop a forest fire occurrence model using meteorological characteristics for practical forecasting of forest fire danger rate by reflecting the climate change for the time period of 2000yrs. Forest fire in South Korea is highly influenced by humidity, wind speed, temperature, and precipitation. To effectively forecast forest fire occurrence, we developed a forest fire danger rating model using weather factors associated with forest fire in 2000yrs. Forest fire occurrence patterns were investigated statistically to develop a forest fire danger rating index using times series weather data sets collected from 76 meteorological observation centers. The data sets were used for 11 years from 2000 to 2010. Development of the national forest fire occurrence probability model used a logistic regression analysis with forest fire occurrence data and meteorological variables. Nine probability models for individual nine provinces including Jeju Island have been developed. The results of the statistical analysis show that the logistic models (p<0.05) strongly depends on the effective and relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, and rainfall. The results of verification showed that the probability of randomly selected fires ranges from 0.687 to 0.981, which represent a relatively high accuracy of the developed model. These findings may be beneficial to the policy makers in South Korea for the prevention of forest fires.

지구 온난화 및 기후변화로 인해 비롯된 전 지구적인 기온 상승은 가뭄, 폭염, 한파 등의 이상 기후 현상을 야기하여 인류의 생존을 위협하는 환경 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이와 같은 기후변화 및 이상기후 현상을 이해하고 파악하기 위해서는 정확하고 상세한 기온 정보가 필수적이다. 우리나라는 기상청에서 전국 590개소의 기상관측장비로 기온 정보를 생산하고 있지만 산림이 약 70%를 차지하는 복잡한 지형을 가지고 있어 지상관측밀도의 공간적 제약이 발생해 상세하고 균일한 기온 정보 생산에 제약이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 위성으로 측정한 지표면 온도(Land Surface Temperature, LST) 자료와 다중선형회귀모형(Multiple Linear Regression Model)을 활용해 두 자료간의 상관관계를 파악하고 지상기온을 예측하고자 한다. 위성자료로 Terra 및 Aqua MODIS 위성의 1000m 공간해상도를 가진 일별 LST자료 MOD11A1, MYD11A1의 Daytime 자료를 각각 2000년부터 2018년까지 총 19년의 기간에 대해 구축하였으며, 전국 92개의 기상청 관측소로부터 최고, 최저 기온 자료를 동 기간에 대해 구축하였다. LST를 이용한 이상기온 예측 알고리즘은 python을 이용해 구현하였으며 예측 결과는 실제 기온 자료를 통해 검증하였다. 또한, 예측 기온 자료의 연대별, 순별(상, 중, 하순) 분석을 실시하고, 2018년 극한 폭염 및 한파(2017년 12월~2018년 2월)의 예측 가능성을 검토하여 연구 결과에 대한 다양한 활용방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The twenty-four Solar Terms are Chinese traditional astronomical divisions that describe seasonal cycles of the year. Based on the analyses of meteorological data during 1979~2018, study results showed that the temperatures of the Solar Terms had increased in general in the Korean Peninsula. In North Korea, temperature increases were observed on 21 Solar Terms, and their seasonal mean temperatures were increased by $0.87^{\circ}C$, $1.19^{\circ}C$, $1.45^{\circ}C$, and $0.64^{\circ}C$ on average in spring, summer, fall, and winter, respectively. The duration of summer has lengthened due to the temperature rise in fall, and the magnitude of temperature change was greater in summer compared to winter. As for South Korea, increases in temperature were observed on 18 Solar Terms, and the temperature changes were more pronounced in fall and winter than spring and summer. The Great Snow temperature decreased more than any other Solar Terms during the study period, and this temperature change was observed both in North and South Koreas. The Great Cold, which represents the coldest day of the year, showed a significant temperature increase of $3.08^{\circ}C$, while the Slight Heat had a marginal temperature increase of $0.29^{\circ}C$. The hottest day and the first day of frost tended to come later than the Great Heat and the Frost's Decent. By contrast, the coldest day tended to occur later than the Great Cold in the study area. On average over the entire study period, the climatic fitness of the Great Heat and the Frost's Decent was higher in North Korea, and that of the Great Cold was higher in South Korea, respectively.

This study investigates the characteristics of atmospheric circulation and the heat source $(Q_1)$ related to the winter cold surge in Korea from 1979 to 1999. The occurrence frequency of cold surge is about one event per year and $60\%$ of the total events occurred during the former period, before 1989. During the cold surge, the pressure pattern shows more dominant east-west dipole circulation pattern in the lower troposphere and the effect of upper level trough is stronger than normal cases. Temperature falling pattern over Korea shows that the pattern opposite to the temperature structure over Lake Baikal and temperature change has opposite signs between the low-middle level and upper level, with the boundary at 400 hPa. The analysis of heat source shows that atmospheric cooling by cold advection during the cold surge is balanced by adiabatic warming due to downward motion, indicating that the movement path of cold core is associated with that of heat sink. Therefore, the movement mechanism of the heat source and sink should be well known for understanding the maintenance mechanism of cold surge and predicting cold surges.

본 연구에서는 황사 발원지를 3개 지역으로 나누고 발원지별 최근의 먼지 발생 특성을 기상변수와 관련하여 분석하였다. 고비사막 지역(S1)은 최근에도 높은 황사 발생빈도를 유지하고 있었으며 내몽골지역(S2)은 2003-2004년에 감소 후 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 반면, 중국 북부지역(S3)은 급격한 감소를 보였다. 이는 먼지 발생 지역이 북서쪽으로 이동하여 우리나라의 황사 발생 일수에 영향을 준 것으로 사료된다. 강풍이 중국 북부지역에서 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 다른 기상요소들의 경우 공간 분포 변화는 크게 나타나지 않았다. S2 지역에서 3월의 기온이 먼지 발생빈도에 영향을 주었으며, 특히 영상의 기온을 보일 때 높은 먼지 발생 빈도를 보였다.

In 2018, severe diebacks have occurred on yuzu trees cultivated in Goheung, Jeonnam Province. On-farm surveys at 18 randomly selected orchards revealed the dieback incidence ranged from 7.5% to 100% with an average of 43.6%, and 56.6% of the affected yuzu trees were eventually killed. In order to find the reason for this sudden epidemic, we investigated the weather conditions that are exclusively distinct from previous years, hypothesizing that certain weather extremes might have caused the dieback epidemic on yuzu trees. Since different temperatures can cause freeze damage to plants depending on their dormancy stages, we investigated both periods when yuzu becomes hardy under deep dormancy (January-February) and when yuzu loses its cold hardiness (March-April). First, we found that daily minimum air temperatures below $-10^{\circ}C$ were recorded for 7 days in Goheung for January and February in 2018, while no occasions in 2017. In particular, there were two extreme temperature drops ($-12.6^{\circ}C$ and $-11.5^{\circ}C$) beyond the yuzu cold hardiness limit in 2018. In addition, another occasion of two sudden temperature drops to nearly $0^{\circ}C$ were occurred right after abnormally-warm-temperature-rises to $13^{\circ}C$ of daily minimum air temperatures in mid-March and early April. In conclusion, we estimated that the possible damages by several extreme freeze events during the winter of 2018 could be a major cause of severe diebacks and subsequently killed the severely affected yuzu trees.

The distribution shapes of air and water temperatures are basic and essential information, which determine the frequency patterns of their occurrence. It is also very useful to understand the changes in long-term air and water temperatures with respect to climate change. The typical distribution shapes of air and water temperatures cannot be well fitted using widely used/accepted normal distributions because their shapes show multimodal distributions. In this study, Gaussian mixture distributions and kernel distributions are suggested as the more suitable models to fit their distribution shapes. Based on the results, the tail shape exhibits different patterns. The tail is long in higher temperature regions of water temperature distribution and in lower temperature regions of air temperature distribution. These types of shape comparisons can be useful to identify the patterns of long-term air and water temperature changes and the relationship between air and water temperatures. It is nearly impossible to identify change patterns using only mean-temperatures and normal distributions.
