This paper studied the possibility to predict a mechanical property variation from changes in created carbonyl bands by irradiating the surface of high-density polyethylene with short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation of 254 nm to induce a fast chemical degradation. The meaning of this study lies in checking whether a mechanical property change with the same chemical property as the induced optical deterioration is caused by using a UVC lamp with high photon energy instead of optical deterioration via xenon arc light source and outdoor exposure test via natural sunlight requiring a long time. The mechanical strength of high-density polyethylene checked by a tensile test and a creep destruction test showed a similar tendency with CI changes. In particular, the yield strength and elongation had a close relationship with the exposure time to ultraviolet radiation. Accordingly, this paper presented a method to grasp the mechanical property change outdoors requiring a long time more fast through the relationship between the mechanical property change and the carbonyl index using a UVC lamp causing the fast surface degradation.

Climate factors such as rainfall, temperature, wind, humidity, and solar radiant heat affect soil erosion. Among those factors, rainfall influences soil erosion to the most extent. The kinetic energy of rainfall breaks away soil particles and the water flow caused by the rainfall entrains and transport them downstream. In order to estimate soil erosion, therefore, it is important to determine the rainfall erosivity. In this study, the annual average Rainfall Erosivity(R) in Korea, an important factor of the Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) and Revised Equation(RUSLE), has been estimated using the nationwide rainfall data from 1973 to 1996. For this estimation, hourly rainfall data at 53 meterological stations managed by the Meterological Agency was used. It has been found from this study that the newly computed values for R are slightly larger than the existing ones. It would be because this study is based on the range of rainfall data that is longer in period and denser in the number of gauging stations than what the existing result used. The final result of this study is shown in the form the isoerodent map of Korea.

Recently, as research on smart farms has been actively conducted, indoor environment control, such as a green house, has reached a high level. However, In the field of forestry where cultivation is carried out in outdoor, the use of ICT is still insufficient. In this paper, we propose LPWA-based forest growth environment collection and big data analysis system using ICT technology. The proposed system collects and transmits the field cultivation environment data to the server using small solar power generation and LPWA technology based on the oneM2M architecture. The transmitted data is constructed as big data on the server and utilizes it to predict the production and quality of forest products. The proposed system is expected to contribute to the production of low-cost, high-quality crops through the fusion of renewable energy and smart farms. In addition, it can be applied to other industrial fields that utilize the oneM2M architecture and monitoring the growth environment of agricultural crops in the field.

토양유실에 영향을 미치는 기후 인자로는 강우, 기온, 바람, 습도 및 태양열 복사 등이 있다. 이들 중 강우는 토양침식에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 인자로 토립장의 이탈로 인한 토양침식을 유발한다. 토양침식을 예측하는데 있어 강우의 영향을 나타내는 지표의 설정은 매우 중요하다. 이러한 강우침식인자는 각 강우사상에 대한 강우에너지와 30분 최대 강우강도의 곱의 합으로 정의된다. 강우침식도를 정확하게 계산하기 위해서는 다년간 측정된 분단위 강우자료가 필요하며, 강우자료 획득의 제한과 강우의 분류 및 계산과정 등이 복잡하여 실무적으로 산정하기 어려운 점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 1분 상세강우자료를 이용하여 개정범용토양유실공식(RUSLE)의 강우침식도 R의 추정을 위해 2001년부터 2015년까지 15년간 전국 61개 기상청 관측소의 강우 자료를 수집하여 지점별로 새롭게 계산한 연 강우침식도 및 경험식을 산정하였으며 남한전체($99,720km^2$)를 대상으로 연 강우침식량의 공간분포맵을 작성하였다. 지점별 산정된 경험식은 연평균 강우량과 1분 강우자료로부터 산정된 강우침식도와의 상관관계로 회귀식을 도출하였다. 1분 강우자료로 계산된 강우침식도와 연평균 강우량의 상관관계로부터 도출된 경험식과의 결정계수($R^2$, determination coefficient)는 0.70 ~ 0.98로 높은 상관관계를 나타냈으며 또한, 기존의 국내에서 적용된 경험식과 비교하여 평균 $R^2$가 0.59에서 0.80로 실측값과의 정확성이 높게 개선됨을 알 수 있다.

According to the success of the Nuri Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV-II) and the development goal of the next generation space launch vehicle (KSLV-III), it is expected that the domestic geostationary satellite capability will be increased from (1 to 3.7) ton. Also, it is predicted that substantial ability of about 1 ton can be provided for the space exploration of the Moon, Mars, asteroids, etc. The Goheung space launch site is optimized for sun-synchronous small satellites, and due to the essential precondition that the launch trajectory does not impinge another country's sovereign airspace, it is not satisfactory as a geostationary satellite launching site. Its latitude also requires more energy to shape the rotating orbital plane from the initial injection status. This results in a decreasing factor of economic feasibility, including the operating complexity. Therefore, in parallel with the development of a next generation space launch vehicle, the practical process for acquisition of oversea land or sea space launch site near the Earth's equator and research for the optimization of orbiting methods of geostationary satellite injection must be continued.

The terrain features and surface characteristics are the most important elements not only in meteorological modeling but also in air quality modeling. The diurnal evolution of local climate over complex terrain may be significantly controlled by the ground irregularities. Such topographic features can affect a thermally driven flow, either directly by causing changes in the wind direction or indirectly, by inducing significant variations in the ground temperature. Over a complex terrain, these variations are due to the nonuniform distribution of solar radiation, which is highly determined by the ground geometrical characteristics, i.e. slope and orientation. Therefore, the accuracy of prediction of regional scale circulation is strong associated with the accuracy of land-use and topographic information in meso-scale circulation assessment. The objective of this work is a numerical simulation using MM5-A2C model with the detailed topography and land-use information as the surface boundary conditions of the air flow field in mountain regions. Meteorological conditions estimated by MM5-A2C command a great influence on the dispersion of mountain areas with the reasonable feature of topography where there is an important difference in orographic forcing.

Solar radiation data are important data that can be used as basic research data in diverse areas. In particular, solar radiation data are essential for diverse studies that have been recently conducted in South Korea including those for new and renewable energy resource map making and crop yield forecasting. So purpose of this study is modification of Heliosat-II method to estimate solar irradiance in Korea by using COMS-MI imagery. For this purpose, in this study, errors appearing in ground albedo images were corrected through linear transformation. And method of producing background albedo map which is used in Heliosat-II method is modified to get more finely tuned one. Through the study, ground albedo correction could be successfully performed and background albedo maps could be successfully derived. Lastly, In this study, solar irradiance was estimated by using modified Heliostat-II method. And it was compared with actually measured values to verify the accuracy of the methods. Accuracy of estimated solar irradiance was 30.8% RMSE(%). And this accuracy level means that solar irradiance was estimated on 10% higher level than previous Heliosat-II method.

This research measures and compares on-site net radiation energy, air temperature, wind speed, and surface temperature considering various spatial characteristics with a focus on land use types in urban areas in Changwon, Southern Gyeongsangnam-do, to analyze the accuracy of an ENVI-met model, which is an analysis program of microclimate. The on-site measurement was performed for three days in a mobile measurement: two days during the daytime and one day during the nighttime. The analysis using the ENVI-met model was also performed in the same time zone as the on-site measurement. The results indicated that the ENVI-met model showed higher net radiation than the on-site measurement by approximately $300Wm^{-2}$ during the daytime whereas the latter showed higher net radiation energy by approximately $200Wm^{-2}$ during the nighttime. The temperature was found to be much higher by approximately $2-6^{\circ}C$ in the on-site measurement during both the daytime and nighttime. The on-site measurement also showed higher surface temperature than the ENVI-met by approximately $7-13^{\circ}C$. In terms of the wind speed, there was a significant difference between the results of the ENVI-met model and on-site measurement. As for the correlation between the results of the ENVI-met model and on-site measurement, the temperature showed significantly high correlation whereas the correlations for the net radiation energy, surface temperature, and wind speed were very low. These results appear to be affected by excessive or under estimation of solar and terrestrial radiation and climatic conditions of the surrounding areas and characteristics of land cover. Hence, these factors should be considered when applying these findings in urban and environment planning for improving the microclimate in urban areas.
