Aerosol indirect radiative forcing of climate change is considered the most uncertain forcing of climate change over the industrial period, despite numerous studies demonstrating such modification of cloud properties and several studies quantifying resulting changes in shortwave radiative fluxes. Detection of this effect is made difficult by the large inherent variability in cloud liquid water path (LWP): the dominant controlling influence of LWP on optical depth and albedo masks any aerosol influences. Here we have used ground-based remote sensing of cloud optical depth (${\tau}_c$) by narrowband radiometry and LWP by microwave radiometry to determine the dependence of optical depth on LWP, thereby permitting examination of aerosol influence. The method is limited to complete overcast conditions with liquid-phase single layer clouds, as determined mainly by millimeter wave cloud radar. The results demonstrate substantial (factor of 2) day-to-day variation in cloud drop effective radius at the ARM Southern Great Plains site that is weakly associated with variation in aerosol loading as characterized by light-scattering coefficient at the surface. The substantial scatter suggests the importance of meteorological influences on cloud drop size as well, which should be analyzed in the further intensive studies. Meanwhile, it is notable that the decrease in cloud drop effective radius results in marked increase in cloud albedo.

2001년 4월 제주 고산기후관측소에서 AERONET sun/sky radiometer와 MPL을 통해 관측된 에어로졸 광학적 두께, 단산란 알베도, 비대칭 변수, 에어로졸 소산계수 프로파일 등을 대기복사모델의 입력 자료로 이용하여 대기가열효과를 산정하고, 이들 광학변수가 대기복사가열률에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 NCAR Climate Community Model (CCM-3.6)에 포함되어 있는 복사 모듈인 Column Radiation Model (CRM-2.1.2)을 연직 54층으로, AERONET sun/sky radiometer로부터 관측된 4 파장 (440, 670, 870, 그리고 1020 nm)에서의 관측 자료를 19개의 파장에서 계산 가능하도록 수정하였다. 에어로졸층이 존재하지 않은 맑은 날 (4월 14일과 16일)은 지표면과 대기상단에서의 에어로졸 직접복사강제력이 각각 $-20{\sim}-25\;W\;m^{-2}$와 $-10{\sim}-15\;W\;m^{-2}$로, 대기 중 흡수는 $+10{\sim}+15\;W\;m^{-2}$였다. 에어로졸층이 관측된 4월 15일과 4월 17~18일의 경우 지표면, 대기, 대기상단의 에어로졸 복사강제력이 맑은 날에 비해 3~4배 정도 크게 나타났다. 4월 14일과 16일에의 대기복사가열률 (${\Delta}H$)는 $1{\sim}2\;K\;day^{-1}$ 범위에서 산출되었으며, 4월 15일과 4월 17~18일에는 MPL 관측에서 보여지는 에어로졸층에서의 ${\Delta}H$와 ${\Delta}H_{aerosol}$가 각각 $3\;K\;day^{-1}$ 이상과 $1{\sim}3\;K\;day^{-1}$ 범위에서 산정되었다. 에어로졸 광학적 두께와 비대칭 변수의 변화에 따른 에어로졸층의 ${\Delta}H$ 변화는 미미하였으나, 단산란 알베도의 10% 변화는 지표면과 대기상단에서의 에어로졸 직접복사강제력의 30%, 대기복사강제력의 약 60%, 그리고 에어로졸층 ${\Delta}H$의 약 35% 변화를 유발하였다. 이는 에어로졸 광학적 두께 10% 변화와 비교하여 대기흡수 또는 에어로졸층의 가열 및 냉각 효과가 6배 가량 큰 결과로, 태양복사를 효과적으로 잘 흡수하는 에어로졸의 양에 의해 대기 가열 또는 ${\Delta}H$가 크게 좌우됨을 의미한다. 2001년 4월부터 2008년 3월까지 제주 고산기후관측소에서의 AERONET sun/sky radiometer 관측 자료를 이용하여 계산한 ${\Delta}H$와 ${\Delta}H_{aerosol}$의 월변화를 보면, ${\Delta}H$는 4~8월 사이에 대류권 하부에서 약 $1.0\;K\;day^{-1}$ 이상으로 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, ${\Delta}H_{aerosol}$의 경우 2월부터 6월까지 고도 2 km 이하에서 약 $0.8\;K\;day^{-1}$ 이하의 범위에서 나타나는데, 이는 대부분의 에어로졸이 지표면 부근의 대기경계층에 존재하며, 봄철 황사와 오염 에어로졸의 증가에 의한 영향으로 판단된다.

In general, the parameters of climate change include aerosol chemical compounds, aerosol optical depth, greenhouse gases(carbon dioxide, CFCs, methane, nitrous oxide, tropospheric ozone), ozone distribution, precipitation acidity and chemical compounds, persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals, radioactivity, solar radiation including ultra-violet and standard meteorological parameters. Over the last ten years, the monitoring activities of Korea regarding to the climate change have been progressed within the WMO GAW and ACE-Asia IOP programs centered at the observation sites of Anmyeon and Jeju Gosan islands respectively. The Greenhouse gases were pointed out that standard air quality monitoring techniques are required to enhance data comparability and that data presentation formats need to be harmonized and easily understood. Especially, the impact of atmospheric aerosols on climate depends on their optical properties, which, in turn, are a function of aerosol size distribution and the spectral reflective indices. Aerosol optical depth and single scattering albedo in the visible are used as the two basic parameters in the atmospheric temperature variation studies. The former parameter is an indicator of the attenuation power of aerosols, while the latter represents the relative strength of scattering and absorption by aerosols. For aerosols with weak absorption, surface temperature decreases as the optical depth increases because of the domination of backscattering. For aerosols with strong absorption, however, warming could occur as the optical depth increases. The objective of the study is to characterize the means, variability, and trends of Greenhouse gases and aerosol properties on a regional basis using data from its baseline observatories in Korea peninsula. A further goal is to understand the factors that control radiative forcing of the greenhouse and aerosol.

The radiative properties of atmospheric aerosol are determined by the mass and chemical characteristics, and optical properties such as aerosol optical depth (AOD), ngstr m parameter ( $\alpha$) and single scattering albedo (SSA). In particular these aerosol optical properties also determine surface temperature perturbation that may give some information in understanding the regional atmospheric radiative forcing. For understanding the radiative forcing and regional surce of aerosol, this paper summarizes and compares the aerosol optical properties results from and compares the atmospheric aerosol optical properties results from two different experiments: Anmyeon 2000 and Jeju 2001. Korea Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory (KGAWO) at Anmyeon island and ACE-Asia super-site at Gosan Jeju island have measured the radiations and aerosols since the year of 2000. The sites are located in the mid-west and south of Korea peninsula where it is strongly affected by the Asian dust coming from China region in every spring. Aerosol optical properties over both sites were measured through the ground-based sun and sky radiometers were analyzed for understanding the radiation and climate properties. Number concentration and chemical components of aerosol were additionally analyzed for the source estimation in the transportation. The frequency distributions of aerosol optical depth are rather narrow with a modal vaiue of 0.38 at both sites. However, the distributions of show one peak (1.13) at Jeju but two peaks (0.63 and 1.13) at Anmyeon. In the cases of Anmyeon, one peak around 0.63 corresponds to relatively dust-free cases, and the second peak around 1.13 characterizes the situation when Asian dust is presented. The correlation between AOD and resulted high correlation on the wide range with high values of optical depth at Anmyeon, otherwise a narrow range of with moderate to low AOD at Jeju. In dust free condition SSA decrease with waveleneth while in the presence of Asian dust SSA either stays neutral or increases slightly with wavelength. The change of surface temperature shows the stronger positive correlations with aerosol optical depth increase at Anmyeon than Jeju. In the chemical properties the aerosol are related to high concentrations in inorganic matters, SO$^4$, NO$_3$, CA2+ in fine and coarse.

대기중의 에어로졸은 지구-대기 시스템에 직접효과(direct effect)와 간접효과(inderect effec)로 불리우는 복사효과를 나타내어 지구복사수지에 영향을 미치는 인자이다. 또한 대기중에서 비교적 짧은 체류시간과 공간적인 변화성으로 인하여 제역적인 효과가 매우 크게 일어남에도 불구하고 그 효과가 정확히 알려져 있지 않다 (IPCC, 200l). 따라서 지역적인 규모의 에어로졸의 복사특성 관측이 중요한 요소가 되었다. 이러한 연구의 일환으로 수행된 일련의 프로젝트들은 TARFOX(Tropospheric Aerosol Radiative Forcing Obserational Experiment; Russel et al., 1999).

대기 중의 에어러솔 입자들은 직접적으로는 빛의 산란, 흡수 등 복사 평형에 영향을 미치며, 간접적으로는 구름 응결핵(CCN)으로 작용함으로써 알베도와 구름의 수명에 영향을 미치게 된다. 자연적인 에어러솔은 인위적 활동에 따른 황 화합물, 질소 화합물, 유기물. 매연 그리고 토양 먼지의 증가에 의해 사실상 교란되어 왔다. 인위적인 에어러솔에 의한 복사 강제력(radiative forcing)은 현재 전 지구적 평균이 -0.3~-3.5Wm$^{-2}$ 정도로 추정되며, 이것은 온실 기체에 의한 강제력인 +2.0~+2.8Wm$^{-2}$ 와 비교될 만 하다(IPCC, 1995).

The ocean's response to the Pinatubo and 1259 volcanic eruptions was investigated using an ocean general circulation model equipped with an energy balance model. Volcanic eruptions release gases into the atmosphere which increases the aerosol optical depth and acts to reduce the incoming short-wave radiation. For example, there was a huge volcanic eruption (Pinatubo) in 1991 which reduced the global mean radiative forcing by about 3 W $m^{-2}$. Two numerical experiments were simulated. The first experiment features the Pinatubo eruption and the second experiment simulates the much larger volcanic eruption that occurred in 1259 when the radiative forcing was reduced by 7 times compared to the Pinatubo event. With the reduced radiative forcing due to the Pinatubo eruption at about 3 W $m^{-2}$ and 1259 eruption at about 21 W $m^{-2}$, the global mean sea surface temperature (SST) decreased to its lowest in the second year after each event by about $0.4^{\circ}C$ and $1.6^{\circ}C$, respectively. Sea surface salinity (SSS) increased substantially in the northern North Pacific, northern North Atlantic, and the Southern Ocean. The reduced SST together with SSS increased ocean convection, which yielded an increase in North Atlantic Deep Water, Antarctic Bottom Water, and North Pacific Intermediate Water production and their outflows. The increase in overturning circulation eventually increased the pole-ward ocean heat fluxes. In conclusion, huge volcanic eruptions perturb the ocean substantially and their hallmarks last for more than a decade, confirming the importance of volcanic eruptions in illustrating the decadal-climate variability recorded in the paleoclimate proxy data for the past million years.

This study investigates long-term trends and characteristics of aerosol light scattering coefficient at Seoul and Baengnyeongdo in order to understand aerosol optical and radiative properties around Korea. The analysis period is limited to one year of 2011. First, the aerosol scattering coefficients (${\sigma}_{sp}$) of both sites show strong linear dependence on the $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentrations with significant correlations between both. Further, correlations and sensitivity between ${\sigma}_{sp}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ increase with relative humidity, implying both relationships are strongly dependent upon moisture amounts in the atmosphere. This study applied 3-step careful quality control procedures to the analysis of ${\sigma}_{sp}$ for the insurance of data confidence. For the relationship analysis of extinction coefficients (${\sigma}_{ext}$) to visibility and aerosol optical depth, ${\sigma}_{sp}$ observed at 3 p.m. have been used with help of aerosol absorption coefficients (${\sigma}_{ap}$) in order to remove its dependence upon relative humidity, and also those of rainy period have been excluded. As expected, ${\sigma}_{ext}$ estimated are inversely proportional to visibility observation by eye. Finally, aerosol extinction coefficients have been vertically integrated with an assumption of nearly well-mixed within an e-folding height to determine aerosol optical depth, and compared with those retrieved from sunphotometer. The results show a reasonable agreement in spite of an inherent difference of each definition. We expect these findings would help to eventually understand aerosol radiative forcing and its effect on the regional climate change around Korea.

Possible links among cosmic ray, cloud, and climate have scientific uncertainties. The reputed topics have been highly controversial during several decades. A link between the atmospheric ionization by galactic cosmic rays (GCR), which is modulated by solar activities, and global cloud cover was firstly proposed in 1997. Some researchers suggested that the GCR can stimulate the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the atmosphere, and then the higher CCN concentrations may lead to an increase of cloud cover, resulting in a cooling of the Earth's climate, and vise versa. The CLOUD (Cosmic leaving outdoor droplets) experiment was designed to study the effect of GCR on the formation of atmospheric aerosols and clouds under precisely controlled laboratory conditions. A state-of-the-art chamber experiment has greatly advanced our scientific understanding of the aerosol formation in early stage and its nucleation processes if the GCR effect is considered or not. Many studies on the climate-GCR (or space weather) connection including the CLOUD experiment have been carried out during the several decades. Although it may not be easy to clarify the physical connection, the recent scientific approaches such as the laboratory experiments or modeling studies give some implications that the research definitively contributed to reduce the scientific uncertainties of natural and anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing as well as to better understand the formation processes of fine particulate matters as an important parameter of air quality forecast.
