The spectral aerosol optical thickness of vertical air columns were measured by a ground-based multi-channel sunphotometer at the BAPMoN station(36$^{\circ}$31'N, 126$^{\circ}$19'E) in Anmyon Island, Korea, from 1 March 1998 to 31 May 1998. We used the data of three yellow sand and two clear sky days in order to analyze the temporal variations in aerosol optical thickness at the station. The basic aerosol optical thickness generally represented smaller than 0.3 in a clear sky and the range 0.5 to 1.1 in yellow sand. Especially the aerosol optical thickness represented larger than 0.9 in a heavy yellow sand. It was found that the aerosol optical thickness of yellow sand was highly increased in comparison with the case of a clear sky andparticles larger than 0.5$mu extrm{m}$ were also increased in the spectral distribution of aerosol volume during yellow sand. Consequently the spectral variations in tropospheric aerosol caused by yellow sand were determined by the number concentration of particles larger than 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the magnitude of yellow sand.

배경대기(Background Atmosphere)란 배출원의 강도에 따라 다를 수 있으나 일반적으로 도시 또는 대규모의 발전소로부터의 영향이 적은 지역의 대기로써 인위적 오염원이 거의 없는 지역을 의미한다(WMO, 1978). 세계 기상기구(World Meteorological Organization: WMO)에서는 지구 대기가 인위 적인 오염원으로 인하여 생태계의 변화가 예상되고 인류의 생존이 위협받게 됨에 따라 이에 대한 대책으로 1969년에 배경대기오염관측망(Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network: BAPMoN)을 구축하여 장기적인 지구의 대기 환경 변화를 예측하기 위한 사업을 시작하였다.
