Eight years (2014-2021) of climate data were collected from an automatic weather observation system installed at the foot of Mt. Geumo in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk. Using these data, we investigated local bio-climatological indices (warmth index, WI; coldness index, CI; and effective accumulated temperature, EAT) of the mountain region adjacent to the Keimyung Dongyeong forest. The study area's WI and CI were 109.3℃ and -11.3℃ per month, respectively, averaged across 8 years. These values are indicative of an evergreen broad-leaved forest in the warm temperate climate zone, suitable for cultivating sweet persimmons and figs. Additionally, EAT in Dongyeong was 2,113.7℃, averaged across 8 years, suitable for growing crops such as corn, soybean, and potato.

1961년 이전에 관측이 시작되어 30년 이상의 관측자료가 있는 기상청의 15개 관측소의 강수량 자료를 이용하여 우리나라의 여름철 강수량 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 특히 이 연구에서는 우리나라 강수량 기후 평년값을 이용하여 기후적 특성을 조사하였으며, 지역별로 연 강수량, 여름철 강수량, 장마기간중 강수량의 연도별 변동을 비교 분석하고 그 상관을 조사하였다. 대체로 우리나라의 경우 연 강수량의 반 이상이 6, 7, 8월의 여름철에 집중되어 있고, 또 이 여름철 강수량은 장마에 크게 영향을 받는다. 또 지역별로 여름철 강수량 및 장마가 연 강수량에 미치는 기여도를 조사한 결과 서울을 비롯한 중서부 내륙지방이 장마의 영향을 가장 많이 받으며 동해안 중북부 지역과 제주도 지역은 상대적으로 장마의 영향이 적고, 국지적인 지형적 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 우리나라의 경우 강수량의 연도별 변동이 심한 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 연 강수량보다 여름철 강수량과 장마기간중 강수량의 변화가 더 심한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국가 수자원 문제와 관련하여 연 강수량의 변동을 파악하기 위해서는 여름철 강수량의 변동에 대한 이해가 중요하며 아울러 장마의 특성 즉 몬순에 대한 파악이 함께 이루어져야 한다.

The characteristic of East Asian summer monsoon is investigated using 8-year (March 1987-February 1995) - averaged monthly and 5-day mean 1 degree latitude-longitude gridded GMS high-cloud-amount data (HCA). An analysis of these data shows the convective zone (ITCZ) clouds which defined as the percentage of the total grid area covered by clouds with a cloud-top temperature below the 400 hPa-level climatological temperature. The HCA increased clearly over equatorial zone during December and January and 30-40 $^{\circ}$N during May and June. These HCA patterns are coincided with seasonal cycles of summer monsoon which is introduced in historical references. The relationship with the summer monsoon winds as climatological changing of wind direction is analyzed by ECMWF re-analysis 2.5-degree latitude-longitude grid surface data which is calculated with 8-year averaged from January 1987 to January 1995. In addition, the monsoon winds are showed by separated U, V-wind components far manifestation a tendency of onset and retreat data of seasonal monsoon.

The station relocations, the replacement of instruments, and the change of a procedure for calculating derived climatic quantities from observations are well-known nonclimatic factors that seriously contaminate the worthwhile results in climate study. Prior to embarking on the climatological analysis, therefore, the quality and homogeneity of the utilized data sets should be properly evaluated with metadata. According to the metadata of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), there have been plenty of changes in the procedure computing the daily mean values of temperature, humidity, etc, since 1904. For routine climatological work, it is customary to compute approximate daily mean values for individual days from values observed at fixed hours. In the KMA, fixed hours were totally 5 times changed: at four-hourly, four-hourly interval with additional 12 hour, eight-hourly, six-hourly, three-hourly intervals. In this paper, the homogeneity in the daily mean temperature dataset of the KMA was assessed with the consistency and efficiency of point estimators. We used the daily mean calculated from the 24 hourly readings as a potential true value. Approximate daily means computed from temperatures observed at different fixed hours have statistically different properties. So this inhomogeneity in KMA climate data should be kept in mind if you want to analysis secular aspects of Korea climate using this data set.

In this study, the seasonal and inter-annual variation of sea surface current in the Gulf of Thailand were revealed through the use of WOD temperature and salinity data and monthly sea surface dynamic heights (SSDH) from TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 altimetry data during 1995-2001. The mean dynamic height and mean geostrohic current were derived from the climatological data while SSDH data gave monthly dynamic heights and their geopstrophic currents. The mean geostrophic current showed strong southward and westward flow of South China Sea water along the gulf entrance. Counterclockwise eddy in the inner gulf and the western side of the gulf entrance associated with upwelling in the area. Seasonal geostrophic currents show basin-wide counterclockwise circulation during the southwest monsoon season and clockwise circulation during the northeast monsoon season. Upwelling was enhanced during the southwest monsoon season. The circulation patterns varied seasonally and inter-annually probably due to the variation in wind regime. And finally we found that congregation, spawning, and migration routes of short-bodied mackerel conform well with coastal upwelling and surface circulation in the gulf.

East Asia experienced extremely cold weather in January 2011, while the previous December and the following February had normal winter temperature. In this study National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis data are used to investigate the characteristic features observed in the meteorological fields such as temperature, sea-level pressure, geopotential height, and wind during this winter period. In January the planetary-wave pattern is dominated by stationary-wave form in the mid-to-high latitude region, while transient waves are significant in the previous month. To understand the planetary-wave features quantitatively, harmonic analyses have been done for the 500-hPa geopotential height field. In the climatological-mean geopotential heights the wave numbers 1, 2, and 3 are dominant during the whole winter. In January 2011 the waves of number 1, 2, and 3 are dominant and stationary as in the climatological-mean field. In December 2010 and February 2011, however, the waves of number 4, 5, and 6 play a major role and show a transient pattern. In addition to the distinctive features in each month the planetary-wave patterns dependent on the latitude are also discussed.

본 연구에서는 도시화에 따른 기후변화가 FAO Penman-Monteith 기준증발산량에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 또한 도시화에 따른 수문기후학적 변화는 다른 지형 및 지리적 조건과도 밀접한 연관성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 도시화가 수문기후에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서는 이들 지형 및 지리적조건도 동시에 고려되어야 한다. 이러한 지형 및 지리적 조건이 도시화과정과 함께 수문기후변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 FAO Penman-Monteith 기준증발산량을 산정하고, 에너지항 및 공기동력항이 FAO Penman-Monteith 기준증발산량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 적용된 연구지역은 서울을 비롯한 56개 수문기후관측지점으로써 도시화과정을 분석하기 위하여 반경 10km를 중심으로 $314\;km^2$당하는 면적을 연구지역으로 설정하였다. 연구 지역의 도시화정도를 판단하기 위하여 토지이용현황을 분석하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 대부분의 연구지역에서 기준증발산의 변화정도는 도시화율의 정도에 따라서 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 판단된다. 기준증발산량의 변화정도는 도시화율이 클수록 큰 변화를 보이는 것으로 판단된다. 분석결과에 의하면 기준증발산량의 변화정도는 도시화가 진행됨에 따라서 도시지역 내 열섬현상에 따른 기온상승과 도시치역의 주거지면적 증가에 따른 습도의 감소 그리고 풍속의 감소 영향인 것으로 보이며, 특히 습도의 감소가 기준증발산량에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 도시지역 내의 태양복사량 감소에 따른 순단파복사량의 감소나 기온상승에 따른 순장파복사량의 증가에 의해서 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다. 또한 연구지역의 지리 및 지형조건이 기준증발산량에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 56개 연구지역의 기준증발산량에 미치는 요인은 주로 도시화에 따른 기후변화와 해안 근접성인 것으로 판단된다.

A planetary boundary layer model has been modified to study the feasibility of siting the wind energy conversion systems over Jejudo island. Our objective is to demonstrate a numerical model that is simple enough to be economical in terms of computational cost and contains most of the mesoscale processes occurring in the planetary boundary layer at the same time. Simulated fields of atmospheric parameters are compared favorably with available climatological data and interpreted in terms of physical phenomena occurring.

The Yellow Sea is characterized by relatively shallow water depth, varying range of tidal action and very complex coastal geometry such as islands, bays, peninsulas, tidal flats, shoals etc. The dynamic system is controlled by tides, regional winds, river discharge, and interaction with the Kuroshio. The circulation, water mass properties and their variability in the Yellow Sea are very complicated and still far from clear understanding. In this study, an effort to improve our understanding the dynamic feature of the Yellow Sea system was conducted using numerical simulation with the ROMS model, applying climatologic forcing such as winds, heat flux and fresh water precipitation. The inter-annual variability of general circulation and thermohaline structure throughout the year has been obtained, which has been compared with observational data sets. The simulated horizontal distribution and vertical cross-sectional structures of temperature and salinity show a good agreement with the observational data indicating significantly the water masses such as Yellow Sea Warm Water, Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, Changjiang River Diluted Water and other sporadically observed coastal waters around the Yellow Sea. The tidal effects on circulation and dynamic features such as coastal tidal fronts and coastal mixing are predominant in the Yellow Sea. Hence the tidal effects on those dynamic features are dealt in the accompanying paper (Kim et at., 2004). The ROMS model adopts curvilinear grid with horizontal resolution of 35 km and 20 vertical grid spacing confirming to relatively realistic bottom topography. The model was initialized with the LEVITUS climatologic data and forced by the monthly mean air-sea fluxes of momentum, heat and fresh water derived from COADS. On the open boundaries, climatological temperature and salinity are nudged every 20 days for data assimilation to stabilize the modeling implementation. This study demonstrates a Yellow Sea version of Atlantic Basin experiment conducted by Haidvogel et al. (2000) experiment that the ROMS simulates the dynamic variability of temperature, salinity, and velocity fields in the ocean. However the present study has been improved to deal with the large river system, open boundary nudging process and further with combination of the tidal forcing that is a significant feature in the Yellow Sea.
