본 연구에서는 지난 20세기 동안 한반도 중부 지방의 여름철 7월과 8월의 일최고기온과 일최저기온의 지역적 패턴을 조사하였다. 조사결과 연구기간 동안 여름철 일최고기온의 평균 및 일정 임계치 이상의 고온 특이일의 빈도가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 반면, 여름철 일최저기온의 평균은 지속적으로 상승하여 결과적으로 이 지역의 여름철 일교차의 평균이 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 일최고기온의 감소 추세는 1950년대 이래로 진행되어온 조림사업으로 인한 삼림 임목 축적량의 증가와 관련성이 있는 것으로 추정되었다. 이 밖에도 본 연구에서는 현재의 도시화 지구온난화가 지속된다는 가정 하에 기온극값 발생빈도와 장기적인 패턴변화를 예측하는 모델을 제시하였다.

Background: Spontaneous pneumothorax is a common respiratory condition and has been postulated that it develops because of rupture of subpleural blebs. Although the morphology and ultrastructure of causative lesions are well known, the reason for rupture of sbupleural blebs is not absolutely clear. Broad consensus concerning the role of meteorological factors in spontaneous pneumothorax dose not exist. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of change of atmospheric pressure and temperature on the occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax. Material and Method: One hundred twenty eight consecutive spontaneous pnemothorax events that occurred between January 2003 and December 2004 were selected. Changes of meteorological factors of particular days from the day before for 5 consecutive days were calculated and compared between the days with pneumothorax occurrence (SP days) and the days without pneumothorax occurrence (Non SP days). The correation between change of pressure and temperature and the occurrence of SP was evaluated. Result: SP occurred on 117 days (16.0%) in the 2-year period. Although there was no significant differences in change of pressure factors prior 4 days of SP occurrence compare to the 4 days prior Non SP day, change of mean pressure was higher (+0.934 vs. -0.191hPa, RR 1.042, Cl $1.003{\sim}1.082$, p=0.033), and change of maximum pressure fall was lower (3.280 vs. 4.791 hPa, RR 1.051, Cl $1.013{\sim}l.090$, p=0.009) on the 4 days prior SP day. There were significant differences in change of temperature factors prior 2 days and the day of SP, Changes of mean temperature (-0.576 vs.+$0.099^{\circ}C$, RR 0.886, 95% Cl $0.817{\sim}0.962$, p=0.004) and maximum temperature rise (7.231 vs. $8.079^{\circ}C$, RR 0.943 Cl $0.896{\sim}0.993$, p=0.027) were lower on the 2 days prior SP. But changes of mean temperature (0.533 vs. $-0.103^{\circ}C$, RR 1.141, Cl $1.038{\sim}l.255$, p=0.006) and maximum temperature rise (9.209 vs. $7.754^{\circ}C$, RR 1.123, Cl $1.061{\sim}1.190$, p=0.006) and maximum temperature rise (9.209 vs. $7.754^{\circ}C$ RR 1.123, Cl $1.061{\sim}l.190$, p=0.000) were higher on the SP days. Conclusion: Charge of atmospheric pressure and temperature seems to influence the chance of occurrence of SP. Meteorological phenomena that pressure rise 4 day prior to SP and following temperature fall and rise might explain the occurrence of SP. Further studies should be continued in the future.

The use of climatic information is essential in the industial society. More specialized weather servies are required to perform better industrial acivities including agriculture. Especially, crop models require daily weather data of crop growing area or cropping zones, where routine weather observations are rare. Estimates of the spatial distribution of daily climates might complement the low density of standard weather observation stations. This study was conducted to estimate the spatial distribution of daily minimum and maximum temperatures in Korean Peninsula. A topoclimatological technique was first applied to produce reasonable estimates of monthly climatic normals based on 1km $\times$ 1km grid cell over study area. Harmonic analysis method was then adopted to convert the monthly climatic normals into daily climatic normals. The daily temperatures for each grid cell were derived from a spatial interpolation procedure based on inverse-distance weighting of the observed deviation from the climatic normals at the nearest 4 standard weather stations. Data collected from more than 300 automatic weather systems were then used to validate the final estimates on several dates in 1997. Final step to confirm accuracy of the estimated temperature fields was comparing the distribution pattern with the brightness temperature fields derived from NOAA/AVHRR. Results show that differences between the estimated and the observed temperatures at 20 randomly selected automatic weather systems(AWS) range from -3.$0^{\circ}C$ to + 2.5$^{\circ}C$ in daily maximum, and from -1.8$^{\circ}C$ to + 2.2$^{\circ}C$ in daily minimum temperature. The estimation errors, RMSE, calculated from the data collected at about 300 AWS range from $1.5^{\circ}C$ to 2.5$^{\circ}C$ for daily maximum/minimum temperatures.

The aim of this study is to clarify whether frequency and/or severity of extreme climate events have changed significantly in Korea during recent years. Using the best available daily data, spatial and temporal aspects of ten climate change indicators are investigated on an annual and seasonal basis for the periods of 1954-1999. A systematic increase in the $90^{th}$ percentile of daily minimum temperatures at most of the analyzed areas has been observed. This increase is accompanied by a similar reduction in the number of frost days and a significant lengthening of the thermal growing season. Although the intra-annual extreme temperature range is based on only two observations, it provides a very robust and significant measure of declining extreme temperature variability. The five precipitation-related indicators show no distinct changing patterns for spatial and temporal distribution except for the regional series of maximum consecutive dry days. Interestingly, the regional series of consecutive dry days have increased significantly while the daily rainfall intensity index and the fraction of annual total precipitation due to events exceeding the $95^{th}$ percentile for 1901-1990 normals have insignificantly increased.

In order to investigate the effect of temperature variation in winter season on the egg production and energy utilization of poultry, 30week-old Warren layers were reared during 17 weeks of experimental period, from Nov. 1st, 1980 to Feb. 27th. 1981. The effect of temperature change on the body weight, feed intake and feed conversion was not found. But the outdoor average and the indoor minimum temperature had changed Positively 0.46 and 0.24% of henday egg production per 1$^{\circ}C$ fluctuation, respectively. Daily metabolizable energy utilized during 32 (Nov.15th), 34(Dec.1st) and 46(Feb. 27th) week-old reached to, respectively, 358, 385 and 419 kcal per bird, and 159, 173 and 176 kcal per kg body weight. Also the metabolizable energy utilization correlated negatively with the ambient temperature fluctuation, while the equation by NRC(1981) for metabolizable energy requirement estimation were well in accord with these results when the indoor minimum temperatures were based. And the metabolizable energy requirements per kg body weight were 1.7, 1.6 and 2.1 kcal, respectively, according as 1C fluctuation of outdoor, indoor maximum and indoor maximum and indoor minimum temperatures. Thus it is appeared that indoor temperatures fluctuated by outdoor temperatures will affect the egg Production and metabolizable energy utilization of hen in winter season of Korea.

The spatial characteristics of changes in extreme temperature indices for 2070-2099 relative to 1971-2000 in the Republic of Korea were investigated using daily maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperature data from a regional climate model (HadGEM3-RA) based on the IPCC RCP4.5/8.5 at 12.5km grid spacing and observations. Six temperature-based indices were selected to consider the frequency and intensity of extreme temperature events. For validation during the reference period (1971-2000), the simulated Tmax and Tmin distributions reasonably reproduce annual and seasonal characteristics not only for the relative probability but also the variation range. In the future (2070-2099), the occurrence of summer days (SD) and tropical nights (TR) is projected to be more frequent in the entire region while the occurrence of ice days (ID) and frost days (FD) is likely to decrease. The increase of averaged Tmax above 95th percentile (TX95) and Tmin below 5th percentile (TN5) is also projected. These changes are more pronounced under RCP8.5 scenario than RCP4.5. The changes in extreme temperature indices except for FD show significant correlations with altitude, and the changes in ID, TR, and TN5 also show significant correlations with latitude. The mountainous regions are projected to be more influenced by an increase of low extreme temperature than low altitude while the southern coast is likely to be more influenced by an increase of tropical nights.

우리나라 주요 대도시는 1990년대 이후 뚜렷한 정제성장과 도시화로 인해 오존농도가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다 (오인보와 김유근, 2002). 또한 최근 1995년부터 2000년까지 오존 주의보 발생일수의 경우 1일, 6일, 12일, 14일, 16일, 17일로 점차 증가를 나타내어 오존오염이 심각해지고 있음을 알 수 있다 (환경부. 2001). 일반적으로 오존농도의 년 변화는 일 최고기온 등의 주요 기상조건에 큰 영향을 받는다 (Hanna and Chang, 1995; EPA, 2001). (중략)

This study was conducted to examine the geographic variation of bud phenology of Zelkova serrata provenances. Data were collected from Gangneung, Yilmsil, Hwaseong and Jinju plantations which were parts of the 6 provenance trials established by Korea Forest Research Institute in 2009. The 16 provenances were included in these trials. The starting date of bud burst and finishing date of leaf expansion were investigated from April to May every other day. The four geographic factors and fifteen climatic factors of the test sites and provenances were considered in this study. Canonical correlation analysis was conducted to examine the major factors affecting the bud phenology between test sites and provenances. The study results suggested that the major factors affecting the timing of bud burst were the differences of extremely high temperature (March-October), annual mean temperature, mean temperature (March-October), extremely high temperature (July-August) and mean humidity (June-October) between test site and provenance. The provenances with lower mean or high temperature than those of plantation showed the earlier bud burst and leaf expansion. It showed a typical north-south or low-high temperature cline. Finally, we discussed the implication of the tree breeding program of Z. serrata based on these results.

최근 들어 우리나라에서는 봄부터 여름까지 가뭄과 폭염이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 가뭄 또는 폭염의 발생빈도가 높아질 것으로 예상되고 있는 바, 점차 사회, 경제적 피해 규모가 커질 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 가뭄 또는 폭염의 심도(severity)나 지속기간의 영향에 대한 분석을 통해 가뭄 또는 폭염의 위험도를 고려하여 대응할 필요가 있다. 가뭄의 경우에는 다양한 가뭄지수, 가뭄 빈도 및 심도 등에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되고 있으나, 폭염에 대해서는 그러한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 우리나라에서 발생한 가뭄을 동반하는 폭염의 크기(magnitude)에 대한 분석을 수행하기 위해 폭염지수(heat wave magnitude index)를 산정하고자 한다. 일반적으로 우리나라 기상청에서는 폭염 주의보와 폭염 경보의 발령을 일최고기온이 각각 $33^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$ 이상인 날이 2일 이상 지속될 것으로 예상되는 경우를 기준으로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄을 동반한 폭염 사상의 크기 분석을 위해 폭염이 지속되는 기간을 우리나라 기상청에서 정의하는 2일, 3일로 구분하여 적용하고, 폭염으로 정의하는 기준(threshold)의 경우는 기존의 $33^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$와 함께 상대적인 기준을 적용하여 적용성을 알아보고자 한다. 적용 대상은 우리나라 종관기상관측소(ASOS)의 일최고기온 자료이며, 4월에서 10월 사이의 일최고기온을 대상으로 하였다. 이를 통해 폭염의 정도에 대해 정량화하고 이를 이용한 위험도 분석도 가능해지리라 판단된다.
