In order to determine air temperature difference by canopy layer in the forest, air temperatures were observed at Seolleung Park, Gahngnam-ku, Seoul. from November 9, 2007 to November 8, 2008 by 10 minute interval. The data were analyzed in terms of diurnal variation based on annual and monthly temperature difference. Using calm, less cloudy and no rainy weather data, average air temperature difference between forest and grass was observed as $0.8^{\circ}C$. The maximum air temperature difference was observed at 22:10, 23:20, 23:30 and 23:40 by $2.13^{\circ}C$ and the minimum one observed at 13:00 by $-0.84^{\circ}C$ in diurnal variation. The maximum temperature difference occurred at 19 : 50 on September by $3.67^{\circ}C$, Overall the air temperature in the forest was higher than that of grass at night and lower in midday.

Occurence, seasonal changes and vertical distribution of the silica-scaled chrysophytes in a small fish-free pond were studied using electron microscopy (EM) and light microscopy (LM) from October 1998 to July 1999. The phytoplankton community was characterized by Chrysophyta and Cryptophyta. Ten species of the silica-scaled chrysophytes of genera Mallomonas, Synura, Chrysosphaerella and Spiniferomonas were identified by EM, and the most abundant species were Mallomonas akrokomos and M. portae-ferreae. The maximum population density of M. akrokomos was observed in December and several peaks appeared periodically at about one to two month intervals, whereas M. portae-ferreae developed the maximum density in March. The diurnal vertical distribution of M. akrokomos exhibited clear downward migration at night and slightly upward migration in the morning. A complex interaction among physico-chemical and biological factors seemed to affect the vertical distribution of M. akrokomos. However, the seasonal changes of M. akrokomos did not show significant corre1ations with the physico-chemical and some biologica1 factors. Although M. akrokomos was evenly distributed throughout the water column during some experimental periods, the diurnal patterns found in the two diurnal cycles showed consistency in that it clearly avoided the surface water during the day. This suggested that M. akrokomos may be a shade plankton with maximum densities below surface layer.

Diurnal variations of air temperature and relative humidity in the Urban Canopy Layer (UCL) of the Seoul metropolitan area are examined using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with the Seoul National University Urban Canopy Model. The canopy layer air temperature is higher than 2-m air temperature and exhibits a more rapid rise and an earlier peak in the daytime. These result from the multiple reflections of shortwave radiation and longwave radiation trapping due to the urban geometry. Because of the absence of vegetation in the UCL and the higher canopy layer air temperature, the canopy layer relative humidity is lower than 2-m relative humidity. Additional simulations with building height changes are conducted to examine the sensitivities of the canopy layer meteorological variables to the urban canyon aspect ratio. As the aspect ratio increases, net sensible heat flux entering the UCL increases (decreases) in the daytime (nighttime). However, the increase in the volume of the UCL reduces the magnitude of change rate of the canopy layer air temperature. As a result, the canopy layer air temperature generally decreases in the daytime and increases in the nighttime as the aspect ratio increases. The changes in the canopy layer relative humidity due to the aspect ratio change are largely determined by the canopy layer air temperature. As the aspect ratio increases, the canopy layer relative humidity is generally increased in the daytime and decreased in the nighttime, contrary to the canopy layer air temperature.

Objectives: Many studies have explored the relationship between short-term weather and its health effects (including pneumonia) based on mortality, although both morbidity and mortality pose a substantial burden. In this study, the authors aimed to describe the influence of meteorological factors on the number of emergency room (ER) visits due to pneumonia in Seoul, Korea. Methods: Daily records of ER visits for pneumonia over a 6-year period (2009-2014) were collected from the National Emergency Department Information System. Corresponding meteorological data were obtained from the National Climate Data Service System. A generalized additive model was used to analyze the effects. The percent change in the relative risk of certain meteorological variables, including pneumonia temperature (defined as the change in average temperature from one day to the next), were estimated for specific age groups. Results: A total of 217 776 ER visits for pneumonia were identified. The additional risk associated with a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in pneumonia temperature above the threshold of $6^{\circ}C$ was 1.89 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37 to 2.61). Average temperature and diurnal temperature range, representing within-day temperature variance, showed protective effects of 0.07 (95% CI, 0.92 to 0.93) and 0.04 (95% CI, 0.94 to 0.98), respectively. However, in the elderly (65+ years), the effect of pneumonia temperature was inconclusive, and the directionality of the effects of average temperature and diurnal temperature range differed. Conclusions: The term 'pneumonia temperature' is valid. Pneumonia temperature was associated with an increased risk of ER visits for pneumonia, while warm average temperatures and large diurnal temperature ranges showed protective effects.

보은과 괴산에 위치한 GNSS상시관측소의 GNSS관측자료와 경사계자료를 이용하여, 1시간과 3시간 동안의 GNSS 차분벡터의 변위와 시간에 따른 차분 경사 벡터의 변위를 계산했다. 그리고, 시간에 따른 두 변위 사이의 관련성을 얻었다. 이렇게 계산된 관련성은 ‘높음‘보다는 낮았다. 그러나, 일사량의 일변화는 일어남이 확실하고, 측정 결과 안테나탑의 경사 변위 때문에 안테나 위상중심 위치의 회전 운동이 존재함이 확실하므로, 우리는 DGNSS에 있어서 보정 오차를 방송할 때와 가상기준국체계(VRS)에 있어서 상시관측소에서 측정된 자료를 방송할 때에 안테나 위상중심 위치의 일변화를 고려할 것을 제안한다.

Seasonal and diurnal variation in serum testosterone was measured by radioimmunossary in 3 mature Korean native male goats. Blood was collected at 3-h intervals for 24h in each season. Mean levels of 4 seasons ranged from 0.82 to 2.06ng/ml and no difference was among seasons, although level in fall and winter was slightly higher. Diurnal level tended to increase at daytime in all season and when diurnal variation in level was compared to daily mean of each season, level of daytime greatly(P<0.05) increased in summer. However, variation between light and dark period in other seasons did not show significant difference. Daytime increase of testosterone was found 3 to 4 after dawn and level increased 1 to 2h ahead in summer and fall than that in others. These results in serum testosterone suggest that there was no great seasonal variation in endocrine function of goat testis.

본 연구에서는 1995년의 과실과 1996년 참다래 과실에 있어 착과과실의 호흡과 증산속도의 일변화를 조사했다. 그 속도를 과실의 생육에 따라 약 2주마다 3시간 간격으로 조사했다. 1995년에 과실성숙기의 기온은 9월 19일${\sim}$24일과 10월 14일에 갑자기 $7{\sim}13^{\circ}C$로 떨어졌지만 1996년에는 이러한 이상저온은 없었다. 착과상태의 과실의 증산과 호흡속도는 과실의 생장에 따라 낮은 경향을 나타냈지만 과실의 수확기에 1995년 과실은 1996년 과실보다 높은 증산 및 호흡속도를 나타냈다. 1995년 과실의 수확기의 호흡상승은 그해 9월 중하순과 10월 중순경의 3차례의 초가을 저온 상태의 지속과 일교차 의한 저온 stress의 가중으로 호흡이 상승되었다고 생각이 되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of surface ozone concentration and occurrence of high ozone concentration using hourly ozone and meteorological data of 1997~1998 in Pusan coastal area. Monthly mean ozone concentration was highest in Spring(35.4ppb) and lowest in Winter(22.2ppb). Relative standard deviation indicating clearness of observation site was 0.42 that is similar to urban area. The diurnal variation of ozone concentration of Dongsamdong showed maximum at 15~16LST and minimum 07~08LST that typical pattern of ozone concentration. In ozone episode period(May 18~23, 1998), diurnal change of ozone concentration was very high, and ozone concentration was related to meteorological parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, cloud amount and radiation on a horizontal surface.

참다래 과실의 생장은 2중 S자 곡선적으로 생장을 하지만, 그 곡선은 해에 불확실할 때가 있다. 이러한 원인을 과실조직의 수분상태에 의한 것으로 생각되어, 1995년과 1996년에 참다래 과실의 생장기간 중에 psychrometer를 사용하여 일중 과실조직의 수분상태 변화를 조사했다. 과실조직의 수분 포텐셀의 변화는 1996년의 과실생자의 제3기를 제외하고는 크지 않앗다. 1995년과 1995년 모두 과실의 수확기에 가까울수록 수분 포텐셜이 점진적으로 떨어졌다. 한편, 과실조직의 삼투 포텐셜은 수분 포텐셜과 비슷하게 변화를 했지만, 1995년 10월 14일의 동이 트기 전에 -1.5MPa로 급격히 떨어진 후, 3시간이 경과한 후 -1MPa로 회복되었고, 과실수확 적기에는 -1.7MPa까지 떨어졌다. 1996년의 과실은 1995년 과실보다 낮은 삼투 포텐셜을 나타냈다. 도관의 수분상태에 관계되는 잎의 수분 포텐셜은 1996년의 경우, 과실생장 제2깅 동이 트기 전에 불구하고 -1MPa 이하로 떨어졌다. 1995년은 과실수확 적기에만 1996년과 같이 -1MPa 이하로 떨어졌다. 1996년 과실은 과실생각 제2기에 과실의 삼투 포텐셜과 팽압의 상승이 1995년 과실보다 높았다. 이러한 요인들이 1996년 과실의 당 농도를 높게 하였다. 이들 parameter의 변화는 1996년 과실이 과실생장의 제3기에 수체가 수분 스트레스를 받았다는 사실을 암시하는 것이다. 따라서, 1995년 과실과 1996년 과실의 생장 차이는 기상변화에 따른 과실 조직의 수분상태에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents seasonal variation of $PM_{10}$ over five urban sites in Sabah, Malaysia for the period of January through December 2012. The variability of $PM_{10}$ along with the diurnal and weekly cycles of CO, $NO_2$, $SO_2$, and $O_3$ at Kota Kinabalu site were also discussed to investigate the possible sources for increased $PM_{10}$ concentration at the site. This work is crucial to understand the behaviour and possible sources of $PM_{10}$ in the urban atmosphere of Sabah region. In Malaysia, many air pollution studies in the past focused in west Peninsular, but very few local studies were dedicated for Sabah region. This work aims to fill the gap by presenting the descriptive statistics on the variability of $PM_{10}$ concentration in the urban atmosphere of Sabah. To further examine its diurnal and weekly cycle pattern, its responses towards the variations of CO, $NO_2$, $SO_2$, and ozone were also investigated. The highest mean value of $PM_{10}$ for the whole study period is seen from Tawau ($35.7{\pm}17.8{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$), while the lowest is from Keningau ($31.9{\pm}18.6{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$). The concentrations of $PM_{10}$ in all cities exhibited seasonal variations with the peak values occurred during the south-west monsoons. The $PM_{10}$ data consistently exhibited strong correlations with traffic related gaseous pollutants ($NO_2$, and CO), except for $SO_2$ and $O_3$. The analysis of diurnal cycles of $PM_{10}$ levels indicated that two peaks were associated during the morning and evening rush hours. The bimodal distribution of $PM_{10}$, CO, and $NO_2$ in the front and at the back of ozone peak is a representation of urban air pollution pattern. In the weekly cycle, higher $PM_{10}$, CO, and $NO_2$ concentrations were observed during the weekday when compared to weekend. The characteristics of $NO_2$ concentration rationed to CO and $SO_2$ suggests that mobile sources is the dominant factor for the air pollution in Kota Kinabalu; particularly during weekdays.
