In this study, the observational environment for sunshine duration at Seoul and Daegu Automated Synoptic Observing Systems (ASOSs) was analyzed using a numerical model. In order to analyze the effects of topography and buildings on observational environment for sunshine duration, the model domains including the elevated building and mountainous areas around Seoul and Daegu ASOSs were considered. Three dimensional topography and buildings used as input data for the numerical model were constructed using a geographic information system (GIS) data. Solar azimuth and altitude angles calculated for the analysis period (one-week for each season in 2008) in this study were validated against those by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). The starting and ending times of sunshine duration observed at ASOSs largely differed from the respective sunrise and sunset times simply calculated using solar angles and information of ASOSs' latitude and longitude, because uneven topography and elevated buildings around ASOSs cut off sunshine duration right after the sunrise and right before the sunset. The model produced the sunshine indices for Seoul and Daegu ASOSs with the time interval of one minute and the period of one week for each season and we compared the hourly averaged indices with those observed at the ASOSs. One week of which the cloudiness is lowest for each season is selected for analysis. Not only the adjacent buildings but also distant buildings and mountain cut off sunshine duration right after the sunrise and right before the sunset. The buildings and topography cutting off sunshine duration were found for each analyzing date. It was suggested that, in order to evaluate the observational environment for sunshine duration, we need to consider even the information of topography and/or building far away from ASOSs. This study also showed that the analyzing method considering the GIS data is very useful for evaluation of observational environment for sunshine duration.

본 연구는 전산유체역학 모델을 이용하여 기상청에서 운용하는 종관기상관측소(automated synoptic observing system, ASOS) 10개 지점을 대상으로 ASOS 주변 지형과 건물이 기온과 바람(풍속, 풍향) 관측 환경에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. ASOS에서 최근 10년간 8월의 관측 자료를 기반으로 전산유체역학(computational fluid dynamics, CFD) 모델의 초기·경계 자료를 구축하였다. 실제 토지 피복을 고려한 경우와 모든 피복을 초지로 가정한 경우에 대해, 관측 고도에서 초기 기온 대비 기온 변화율을 비교함으로써 기온 관측 환경을 분석하였다. 기온 관측 환경은 관측 지점 주위의 토지 피복에 의한 영향을 많이 받았다. ASOS 주변에 지표면 온도가 높은 건물과 도로가 밀집한 경우에 기온 변화율이 크게 나타났다. 반면, 모든 토지 피복을 초지로 가정한 경우에는 초기 기온 대비 기온 변화율이 작았다. 실제 토지 피복을 고려하여 관측 고도의 유입류 대비 풍속 변화율과 풍향 변화를 비교함으로써 풍속과 풍향 관측 환경을 분석하였다. 풍속과 풍향은 ASOS 주변에 관측 고도보다 높거나 비슷한 높이의 지형과 건물 영향을 크게 받았으며, 원거리에 위치한 장애물에 의한 영향도 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 종관기상관측소의 이전과 신설 단계에서 관측 환경 평가에 활용될 것이다.

본 연구는 세계기상기구(World Meteorological Organization, WMO) 분류 지침에 따라 10지점의 종관기상관측소(Automated Synoptic Observing System, ASOS) 관측 환경을 5단계로 분류하였다. 장애물(지형, 건물 등)과 지표 피복 유형은 일조 시간, 기온, 지상 바람의 관측 환경을 평가하는 주요 요인이었다. 따라서, WMO 분류 지침에 따라 ASOS를 평가하기 위해서 지형, 건물, 토지 피복 유형에 대한 수치 지도를 사용했다. 일조 시간의 관측 환경은 일조 고도각이 낮은 일출과 일몰 시간대에 주변 건물 영향을 가장 많이 받았다. 기온 관측 환경은 태양 고도각뿐만 아니라 열/수원과 ASOS 사이의 거리를 기준으로 결정되었다. 본 연구에서 고려한 ASOS 주변에는 수원이 없었다. 일부 ASOS 근처에 있는 열원은 관찰 환경에 영향을 미칠만큼 크지 않았다. ASOS 주변의 거칠기 길이와 주변 건물과 ASOS 사이의 거리를 기반으로 지상 바람 관측 환경을 평가했다. 대부분의 ASOS는 주변보다 높은 고도에 놓여 있으며 ASOS 주변의 거칠기 길이는 최상의 수준을 위한 조건을 충족할 만큼 충분히 작았다.

Korea, which is located in the middle-latitude area of the northern hemisphere, has four seasons. These seasons can be classified based on their months, mean temperatures, biology and natural phenomena. In this study, climatic changes were identified by biotic and temperature seasons, changing trends were compared by season, and the appropriateness of the biotic phenomena for the biotic season classification was examined. The data for this study included the mean temperatures, and biology phenomenon observation dates, which had been observed for 38 years from the ASOSs in seven Gwangju and Jeonnam regions. Limitations were found in the classification of the temperature and biotic seasons. Especially in the case of the biotic season based on a single life, the points of the first sighting and the initial sound fluctuated so much that the accuracy of the results was not guaranteed. Therefore, the life species had to be selected subject to detailed verification and accurate specifications, and to be applied to the meteorological phenomena. In addition, there were lives in the standard biology that could no longer be observed because of environmental pollution and climatic change, which indicates the need to protect the existing standard biology.

In this study, the numerical model was developed to evaluate the observational environment of sunshine duration and, for evaluating the accuracy and utility of the model, it was verified against the observational data measured at Dae-gu Automated Synoptic Observing System (ASOS) located in an urban area. Three-dimensional topography and building configuration as the surface input data of the model were constructed using a Geographic Information System (GIS) data. First, the accuracy of the computing planetary positions suggested by Paul Schlyter was verified against the data provided by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and the results showed that the numerical model predicted the Sun's position (the solar azimuth and altitude angles) quite precisely. Then, this model was applied to reproduce the sunshine duration at the Dae-gu ASOS. The observed and calculated sunshine durations were similar to each other. However, the observed and calculated sunrise (sunset) times were delayed (curtailed), compared to those provided by KASI that considered just the ASOS's position information such as latitude, longitude, and elevation height but did not consider the building and topography information. Further investigation showed that this was caused by not only the topographic characteristic (higher in the east and lower in the west) but also the buildings located in the southeast near the sunrise and the southwest near the sunset. It was found that higher building resolution increased the accuracy of the model. It was concluded that, for the accurate evaluation of the sunshine duration, detailed building and topography information around the observing sites was required and the numerical model developed in this study was successful to predict and/or the sunshine duration of the ASOS located in an urban area.
