  • The IPCC 5th Assessment Report (Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis) was accepted at the 36th Session of the IPCC on 26 September 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. It consists of the full scientific and technical assessment undertaken by Working Group I. This comprehensive assessment of the physical aspects of climate change puts a focus on those elements that are relevant to understand past, document current, and project future of climate change. The assessment builds on the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report and the recent Special Report on Managing the Risk of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation. The assessment covers the current knowledge of various processes within, and interactions among, climate system components, which determine the sensitivity and response of the system to changes in forcing, and they quantify the link between the changes in atmospheric constituents, and hence radiative forcing, and the consequent detection and attribution of climate change. Projections of changes in all climate system components are based on model simulations forced by a new set of scenarios. The report also provides a comprehensive assessment of past and future sea level change in a dedicated chapter. The primary purpose of this Technical Summary is to provide the link between the complete assessment of the multiple lines of independent evidence presented in the main report and the highly condensed summary prepared as Policy makers Summary. The Technical Summary thus serves as a starting point for those readers who seek the full information on more specific topics covered by this assessment. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased. Total radiative forcing is positive, and has led to an uptake of energy by the climate system. The largest contribution to total radiative forcing is caused by the increase in the atmospheric concentration of $CO_2$ since 1750. Human influence on the climate system is clear. This is evident from the increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing, observed warming, and understanding of the climate system. Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in all components of the climate system. Limiting climate change will require substantial and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. The in-depth review for past, present and future of climate change is carried out on the basis of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report.

  • 보리 생육모형인 DSSAT의 CERES-Barley를 적용하여, 한반도 A1B 기후변화시나리오에 따른 겉보리의 잠재생산량을 평가하였다. 생육 모의 지역은 30년 평년의 기상자료가 구축되어 있는 56개 지역으로 하였고, 생육 모의 연도는 기준연도(1971~2000년)와 3가지 미래 30년 평년(2011~2040년, 2041~2070년, 2071~2100년)으로 하였다. 그리고 온도효과 분석(온도 변화, $CO_2$ 농도 고정), $CO_2$효과 분석(온도 고정, $CO_2$ 농도 변화), 온난화효과 분석(온도 및 $CO_2$ 농도 변화) 등 3가지 생육모의 환경으로 구분하여 기후변화에 따른 겉보리의 잠재생산성 영향을 평가하였다. CERES-Barly 모형은 국내 겉보리의 발육단계뿐 아니라 수량을 실제 관측값과 아주 유사하게 모의하여($R^2=0.84$), 기후변화에 따른 겉보리의 잠재생산성 변화 예측에 활용하는데 무리가 없다고 판단되었다. 생육 모의 조건별 결과를 나타내면, (1) 온도효과 분석에서, 미래의 온도상승이 상대적으로 낮은 2011~ 2040년 생육 모의 연도의 잠재수량은 기준년도와 비슷한 반면에, 온도상승 정도가 큰 2041~2070, 2071~2100년의 미래 기후조건에서는 잠재수량이 기준년도에 비해 각각 6, 20%씩 감소하였다. 다음으로, (2) $CO_2$ 효과 분석에서, 3가지 미래 기후조건(2011~2040년, 2041~2070년, 2071~2100년)에서 겉보리의 평균 잠재수량이 기준년도에 비해 각각 12, 28, 43%씩 증가하였다. 마지막으로 (3) 온난화효과 분석에서, 미래 생육 모의 연도별(2011~2040년, 2041~2070년, 2071~2100년) 잠재수량은 기준년도에 비해 각각 13, 21, 19%씩 증가하였다.

  • Since the terrain of Korea is complex, micro- as well as meso-climate variability is extreme by locations in Korea. In particular, air temperature of agricultural fields is influenced by topographic features of the surroundings making accurate interpolation of regional meteorological data from point-measured data. This study was carried out to compare spatial interpolation methods to estimate air temperature in agricultural fields surrounded by rugged terrains in South Korea. Four spatial interpolation methods including Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Spline, Ordinary Kriging (with the temperature lapse rate) and Cokriging were tested to estimate monthly air temperature of unobserved stations. Monthly measured data sets (minimum and maximum air temperature) from 588 automatic weather system(AWS) locations in South Korea were used to generate the gridded air temperature surface. As the result, temperature lapse rate improved accuracy of all of interpolation methods, especially, spline showed the lowest RMSE of spatial interpolation methods in both maximum and minimum air temperature estimation.

  • This study conducted a vulnerability assessment on Korea's physical infrastructure to provide base data for developing strategies to strengthen Korea's ability to adapt to climate change. The assessment was conducted by surveying professionals in the field of infrastructure and climate change science. A vulnerability assessment was carried out for seven climate change events: average temperature increases, sea level rise, typhoons and storm surges, floods and heavy rain, drought, severe cold, and heat waves. The survey asked respondents questions with respect to the consequences of each climate change event, the urgency of adaptation to climate change, and the scale of investment for adaptation to each climate change event. Thereafter, management priorities for infrastructure were devised and implications for policy development were suggested. The results showed that respondents expected the possibility of "typhoons and storm surges" and "floods and heavy rain" to be the most high. Respondents indicated that infrastructure related to water, transportation, and the built environment were more vulnerable to climate change. The most vulnerable facilities included river related facilities such as dams and riverbanks in the "water" category and seaports and roads in the "transport and communication" category. The results found were consistent with the history of natural disasters in Korea.

  • Understanding climate change is not only complex but also extensive. Humanity has never embarked on such a huge challenge of trans-national scope: a problem that began in the past continues now and will be continuing for a long time in the future. Nepalese have also significantly felt the impact of global climate change. The scenarios of climate change indicate that the increased temperatures will cause snow-melt which will result in floods, droughts, and uneven weather patterns. The impact of such unexpected climate hazards and weather patterns have already been felt and will continue to be felt in Nepal. These climate change-induced hazards and risks particularly threaten the agriculture sector, which results in food insecurity and makes poor and vulnerable people face increasingly unanticipated impacts to their lives and wellbeing. This paper explores the climate vulnerability of the Nepalese in terms of their physical, social, economic and primarily agricultural losses due to the increasing impact of climate change. The paper argues the need for a timely adaptation of measures to maintain an environment suitable for agriculture and for the well-being of the population residing in the area.
