This study assesses the quality of the total column ozone (TCO) data from five reanalysis datasets against nine independent observation in East Asia. The assessed datasets are the ECMWF Interim reanalysis (ERAI), Monitoring Atmosphere Composition and Climate reanalysis (MACC), Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service reanalysis (CAMS), the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version2 (MERRA2), and NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR). All datasets reasonably well capture the spatial distribution, annual cycle and interannual variability of TCO in East Asia. In particular, characteristics of TCO according to the latitude difference were similar at all points with a maximum bias of less than about 4%. Among them, CAMS and CFSR show the smallest mean bias and root-mean square error across all nine ground-based observations. This result indicates that while TCO data in modern reanalyses are reasonably good, CAMS and CFSR TCO data are the best for analysing the spatio-temporal variability and change of TCO in East Asia.

에티오피아 Awash 하천유역의 수자원은 경제적, 사회적, 생태적으로 매우 중요하다. 하지만 이 지역에 신뢰성 높은 기상자료의 확보가 매우 어렵기 때문에 Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR)의 글로벌 기상자료를 이용한 수문성분해석결과와 기존의 제한된 기상자료를 활용한 결과를 비교하여 향후 두 자료를 적절히 활용하는 방안을 모색하였다. 수문모형은 글로벌 적용이 가능한 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool)을 활용하였고, 상이한 자료를 이용하여 구한 모형의 성능은 두 지점의 관측 유출량과의 비교를 통해 검토하였다. 매개변수의 보정은 Sequential uncertainty fitting (SUFI-2)방법을 이용하였다. Keleta 및 Melka Kunture 소유역에서의 유출량을 비교한 결과 기존의 가용 기상자료를 활용하여 구한 결과에 비해 CFSR 글로벌 기상자료를 이용한 결과가 보다 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 유역면적이 Keleta소유역에 비해 6배가 큰 Melka Kunture 유역에서 CFSR 기상자료를 이용하여 산정한 유출량이 더욱 정확한 것으로 나타나 유역면적이 큰 곳에서 글로벌 자료의 활용성은 더욱 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 글로벌 기상자료의 활용은 아프리카의 대부분 지역과 같이 확보된 기상자료가 부족한 곳에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 전망되었다.

Eight different data sets are examined in order to gain insight into the surface heat flux traits of the East Asian marginal seas. In the case of solar radiation of the East Sea (Japan Sea), Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments ver. 2 (CORE2) and the Objectively Analyzed Air-Sea Fluxes (OAFlux) are similar to the observed data at meteorological stations. A combination is sought by averaging these as well as the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)-1 data to acquire more accurate surface heat flux for the East Asian marginal seas. According to the Combination Data, the annual averages of net heat flux of the East Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea are -61.84, -22.42, and $-97.54Wm^{-2}$, respectively. The Kuroshio area to the south of Japan and the southern East Sea were found to have the largest upward annual mean net heat flux during winter, at -460- -300 and at $-370--300Wm^{-2}$, respectively. The long-term fluctuation (1984-2004) of the net heat flux shows a trend of increasing transport of heat from the ocean into the atmosphere throughout the study area.
