For the non-destructive multi-elemental analysis of environmental and biological materials, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was applied for the determination of toxic and trace elements in a set of three Algae samples provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The analytical quality control was evaluated by comparing the analytical results of two standard reference materials of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); Oyster Tissue (SRM 1566a) and Citrus Leaves (SRM 1572). According to given analytical procedure, the concentration of 15-25 elements including spiked elements such as As, Cd, Cr and Hg in Algae samples were determined. To identify and validate these results, a data intercomparison program using more than 35 analytical methods in 150 laboratories was carried out and the estimated statistical data are summarized. Result of INAA is favorable, therefore, it is illustrated that can be applied for routine analysis of essential and toxic elements in algae samples as well as analytical quality assurance.

In this study, steric height variability in the East Asian Seas (EAS) has been analyzed by using ocean reanalysis intercomparison project (ORA-IP) data. Results show that there are significant correlations between ocean reanalysis and satellite data except the phase of annual cycle and interannual signals of the Yellow Sea. Reanalysis ensemble derived from 15-different assimilation systems depicts higher correlation (0.706) than objective analysis ensemble (0.296) in the EAS. This correlation coefficient is also much higher than that of the global ocean (0.441). For the long-term variability of the thermosteric sea level during 1993-2010, a significant warming trend is found in the East/Japan Sea, while cooling trend is shown around the Kuroshio extension area. For the halosteric sea level, a dominant freshening trend is found in the EAS. However, below 300 m depth around this area, the signal-to-noise ratio of the linear trend is generally less than one, which is related to the low density of observation data.

Background: The determination of the amount of radionuclides and internal dose for the worker who may have intake of radionuclides results in a variation due to uncertainty of measurement data and ingestion information. As a result of this, it is possible that for the same internal exposure scenario assessors could make considerably different estimation of internal dose. In order to reduce this difference, internal exposure scenarios for nuclear facilities were developed, and intercomparison were made to determine the harmonization of dose assessment results among the assessors. Materials and Methods: Seven cases on internal exposures incidents that have occurred or may occur were prepared by referring to the intercomparison excercise scenario that NRC and IAEA have carried out. Based on this, 16 nuclear facilities concerned with internal exposure in Korea were asked to evaluate the scenarios. Each result was statistically determined according to the harmonization discrimination criteria developed by IDEAS/IAEA. Results and Discussion: The results were evaluated as having no outliers in all 7 cases. However, the distribution of the results was spread by various causes. They can be divided into two wide categories. The first one is the distribution of the results according to the assumption of the intake factors and the evaluation factors. The second one is distribution due to misapplication of calculation method and factors related to internal exposure. Conclusion: In order to satisfy the harmonization criteria and accuracy of the internal exposure dose evaluation, it is necessary that exact guidelines should be set on low dose, and various intercomparison cases also be needed including high dose exposure as well as the specialized education. The aim of the blind test is to make harmonization evaluation, but it will also contribute to securing the expertise and high quality of dose evaluation data through the discussion among the participants.

The Korea retrospective dosimetry (KREDOS)-electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) group undertook an intercomparison investigation utilizing hydroxyapatite. This analysis involved four institutions: the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences, Dongnam Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences, Korean Association for Radiation Application, and Radiation Health Institute of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. Following the irradiation of the hydroxyapatite sample, the recorded build-up was analyzed. To validate the reliability of the EPR dosimetry findings and enhance its operational performance, a hydroxyapatite dose-response curve was plotted and dosimetry was performed for a blind sample. The proficiency of each laboratory was assessed by employing an interlaboratory comparison methodology. This involved a comparative analysis of the measurement results by calculating the relative bias, z-score, and En value. The results submitted by the participating laboratories demonstrated satisfactory ratings for doses of 1.006, 3.999, and 6.993 Gy. Following the second intercomparison, efforts to optimize their hydroxyapatite-EPR dosimetry systems are underway in the participating laboratories. The current assessment of hydroxyapatite dose yielded the foundational data required to establish the parameters of dental dosimetry. In future, the third intercomparison experiment will be conducted for exploring other materials.

본 연구에서는 국제 공동 해양 재분석 자료 비교 프로젝트 결과를 요약하였다. 다양한 재분석 자료 생산 시스템의 종류 및 특성을 소개하였으며, 대표적인 8가지 해양 변수(열용량, 열염분 높이, 해수면 높이, 표층 열속, 혼합층 깊이, 아표층염분, $20^{\circ}C$ 등온선 깊이, 해빙)에 대한 전지구 해양 자료 동화 모델 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 일반적으로 단일 재분석 자료 결과보다 앙상블 평균 값이 비교적 높은 성능을 나타내었으나, 검증 변수와 해역에 따라 서로 다른 특징을 보였다. 해양 변수 중에는 염분 및 해빙 변동이 모델간 가장 큰 편차를 보였다. 심층 해역, 남극해, 서안 경계 해역을 포함한 연안역에서는 공통적으로 객관 분석장과 동화 모델간의 편차가 크게 나타났다. 국내에서도 독립적으로 운영되고 있는 해양 자료 동화 모델간의 비교 분석 프로그램이 추진되어, 향후 관련된 국제 공동 연구에 활발히 참여할 수 있는 기회가 확대되기를 기대한다.

토양 호흡은 주요 육상 생태계의 탄소 순환을 이해하는데 중요한 성분 중 하나이다. 토양 호흡 관측에서 쳄버 방법은 가장 일반적인 방법이다. 다양한 토양 호흡쳄버 방법에 의해 이루어지는 관측 값들을 비교하기 위해서는, 측기의 특성에 따른 오차를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 온도 조절이 가능한 식물 환경 조절 시스템에서 네 개의 폐회로 역학 쳄버와 자동 개폐 쳄버를 비교하였다. 식물 환경 조절 시스템의 내부의 이산화탄소 농도의 변동과 토양 수분의 변동으로 어느 정도의 오차가 포함된 결과이지만, 실험을 통해 토양 온도와 이산화탄소 농도의 변화에 따른 대한 네 측기들의 반응 특성과 실내 비교 실험의 계획과 방법에 대한 중요한 교훈을 얻을 수 있었다.

The advent of high resolution products of surface wind and temperature derived by satellite data has permitted us to investigate ocean and atmosphere interaction studies in detail. Especially the Kuroshio extension region of the western North Pacific is considered to be a key area for such studies. We have constructed gridded products of surface wind/wind stress over the world ocean using satellite scatterometer (Qscat/SeaWinds), available as the Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with Use of Remote sensing Observation (J-OFURO). Using new data based on improved algorithm which have been recently delivered, we are reconstructing gridded product with higher spatial resolution. Intercomparison of this product with the previous one reveals that there are some discrepancies between them in short-period and high wind-speed ranges especially in the westerly wind region. The products are validated by not only comparisons with in-situ measurement data by mooring buoys such as TAO/TRITON in the tropical Pacific and the Kuroshio Extension Observation (KEO) buoys, but also intercomparison with numerical weather prediction model (NWPM) products (the NRA-1 and 2). Our products have much smaller mean difference in the study areas than the NWPM ones, meaning higher reliability compared with the NWPM products. Using the high resolution products together with sea surface temperature (SST) data, we examine a new type of relationship between the lower atmosphere and upper ocean in the Kuroshio Extension region. It is suggested that the spatial relation between the wind speed and SST depends upon, more or less, the surrounding oceanic condition.

고창 표준기상관측소(Gochang Standard Weather Observatory, GSWO)에서 3년간(2014-2016년) 관측한 겨울철 강수량 자료를 사용하여 겨울철 관측환경에 따른 강수량 관측 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해, 설치환경이 다른 강수량계 4종인 NS(No Shield), SA(Single Alter), DFIR(Double Fence Intercomparison Reference), PG(Pit Gauge)를 사용하여, DFIR을 기준으로 누적 강수량 차이, 강수 유형별 특성, 풍속 변화에 따른 수집효율을 분석하였다. 강수 유형은 고창 종관기상관측장비(Automated Synoptic Observing System, ASOS)의 기온 관측 자료를 사용하여 강우, 혼합 강수, 강설로 분류하여 분석하였다. 겨울철 누적 강수량은 SA, NS, PG 순으로 DFIR과 유사하게 나타났으며, 통계 분석 결과에서는 SA가 DFIR과 가장 유사한 결과를 보였다. 결과적으로, 겨울철 강수량 관측에서는 SA가 기준 강수량계와 가장 유사하게 관측되었으며, PG는 겨울철 관측에 적합하지 않은 것으로 분석된다.

고온에서 교정용 표준기로 사용되는 S형 열전대를 사용하여, 국내의 9개 고온분야 교정검사기관의 고온측정 능력을 순회교정을 통하여 평가하여 고온의 소급성 오차를 측정하였다. 참여기관 중 3개교정검사기관만이 열전대의 교정불확도인 ${\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$이내에서 한국표준과학연구원의 측정값과 일치하였으며, 나머지 6개 기관의 측정값은 규정된 불확도를 벗어났다. 각 측정값의 차이는 온도가 높아질수록 증가하여 비교측정점 중 가장 높은 온도인 금점에서 가장 큰 차이가 $2^{\circ}C$로 교정 불확도를 크게 벗어났다. 이 연구에서 측정된 국내 고온분야 교정검사기관의 소급성 오차는 $2.0^{\circ}C$ 이내였다.
