기후변화로 인해 가뭄의 발생 빈도가 증가함에 따라 광범위하게 발생하는 가뭄의 상황을 정확하게 판단할 수 있는 모니터링 체계를 갖추는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 지상 관측 기상자료만으로는 한국의 전 지역에 대한 복잡한 가뭄을 모두 파악하기에는 한계가 존재하는 반면, 인공위성 원격탐사자료는 광범위한 지역에서의 가뭄의 공간적 특성을 파악하고 가뭄을 탐지하는 데 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 남한의 가뭄 식별을 위한 원격탐사자료의 활용 가능성을 분석하고자 하였다. 다양한 측면의 가뭄을 모니터링하기 위해 가뭄에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수인 강수량과 잠재증발산량의 원격탐사 및 지상 관측자료를 수집하였다. 원격탐사자료의 적용성 평가는 관측자료와의 비교를 중심으로 수행하였다. 먼저 원격탐사자료의 적용성과 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 관측자료와의 상관관계를 분석하고, 기상학적 가뭄 모니터링을 위해 강수량과 잠재증발산량을 이용하여 다양한 측면의 가뭄지수들을 산정하였다. 이후 원격탐사자료의 가뭄 모니터링 능력을 평가하기 위해 가뭄지수에 대한 ROC 분석을 적용하여 과거 가뭄 재현성을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 원격탐사자료를 이용한 고해상도의 가뭄 지도를 작성하여 남한의 실제 가뭄에 대한 원격탐사자료의 모니터링 활용 가능성을 평가하였다. 원격탐사자료의 적용을 통해 향후 미 계측 유역을 포함한 남한 전 지역에서 다양하게 발생하는 가뭄 상황을 파악하고 이해할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 낙동강수계 지류에서의 장기 수질모니터링 자료를 이용하여 수질의 목표수질 초과율, 증가 추세를 검토하여 지류에서 문제 되는 물질이 무엇인지 파악하는 것이 목적이다. 낙동강수계에서는 중점 관리가 필요한 38개 지류에 대하여 월 1회 모니터링이 수행되고 있으며 이 자료를 이용하여 지점별 목표수질 초과 및 증가 경향을 분석하였다. 분석 항목은 하천 수질 기준으로 평가가 가능한 DO, BOD, COD, TOC, SS, 총인, 분원성 대장균군, 총대장균군 8개 항목이다. 분석 결과, 목표수질 초과율이 50% 이상이며 증가추세인 항목은 TOC, 분원성 대장균과 총대장균수로 나타났으며 초과율이 50% 이하이나 증가 경향을 가진 항목은 SS로 나타났다. TOC는 난분해성 물질의 증가로 인한 원인으로 판단되며 대장균의 지속적인 증가는 향후 하수처리시설에서의 방류수질 중 대장균의 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Traditional investigation procedures of soil and groundwater contamination are followed by soil gas sampling, soil sampling, groundwater sampling, establishment of monitoring wells, and groundwater monitoring. It often takes several weeks to obtain the analysis reports, and sometimes, it needs supplemental sampling and analysis to delineate the polluted area. Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) system is designed for the detection of free-phase petroleum pollutants, and it is suitable for on-site real-time site investigation when coupling with a direct push testing tool. Petroleum products always contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds possessing fluorescence characteristics that make them detectable through LIF detection. In this study, LIF spectroscopy of 5 major fuel products was conducted to establish the databank of LIF fluorescence characteristic spectra, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, marine fuel and low-sulfur fuel. Multivariate statistical tools were also applied to distinguish LIF fluorescence characteristic spectra among the mixtures of selected fuel products. This study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of identifying fuel species based on LIF characteristic fluorescence spectra, also LIF seemed to be uncovered its powerful ability of tracing underground petroleum leakages.

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.

The paper presents a case study in which the structural condition assessment of the East Bay bridge in Gibsonton, Florida is evaluated with the help of remote health monitoring techniques. The bridge is a four-span, continuous, deck-type reinforced concrete structure supported on prestressed pile bents, and is instrumented with smart Fiber Optic Sensors. The sensors used for remote health monitoring are the newly emerged Fabry-Perot (FP), and are both surface-mounted and embedded in the deck. The sensing system can be accessed remotely through fast Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), which permits the evaluation of the bridge behavior under live traffic loads. The bridge was open to traffic since March 2005, and the collected structural data have been continuously analyzed since. The data revealed an increase in strain readings, which suggests a progression in damage. Recent visual observations also indicated the presence of longitudinal cracks along the bridge length. After the formation of these cracks, the sensors readings were analyzed and used to extrapolate the values of the maximum stresses at the crack location. The data obtained were also compared to initial design values of the bridge under factored gravity and live loads. The study showed that the proposed structural health monitoring technique proved to provide an efficient mean for condition assessment of bridge structures providing it is implemented and analyzed with care.

Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration and cyanobacterial cell density are regularly employed as dual criteria for determinations of the alert level for cyanobacterial bloom. However, chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ is not confined only to the cyanobacteria, but is found universally in eukaryotic algae. Furthermore, the determination of cyanobacterial cell counts is notoriously difficult, and is unduly dependent on individual variation and trained skill. A cyanobacteria-specific parameter other than the cell count or chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration is, accordingly, required in order to improve the present cyanobacterial bloom alert system. Phycocyanin has been shown to exhibit a strong correlation with a variety of bloom-related factors. This may allow for the current alert system criteria to be replaced by a three-stage alert system based on phycocyanin concentrations of 0.1, 30, and $700\;{\mu}g/L$. This would also be advantageous in that it would become far more simple to conduct measurements without the need for expensive equipment, thereby enabling the monitoring of entire lakes more precisely and frequently. Thus, an alert system with superior predictive ability based on highthroughput phycocyanin measurements appears feasible.

This study was peformed to explore the current situation of university environmental health and safety (EHS) system and evaluate the effects of such system on university EHS practices. Essential elements for the university EHS system were identified based on the representative examples of foreign universities, and Hey were incorporated into a questionnaire, which was used in this study. Among the academic institutions we surveyed in this study, 89% of the universities employed health and safety manager, and 65% kept departments. However, less than 50% of universities maintained EHS policies, maintained health and established safety committees within the university headquarters, and held health and safety meetings on regular basis. Several basic requirements such as chemical hygiene program and laboratory safety training program lacked in many universities. Some basic surveillance was performed in many universities, however, only few universities carried out surveillance on biological safety, medical examination, and chemical exposure monitoring. EHS system had significant influence on university EHS program (p<0.05). Performances of EHS activities were influenced by presence of EHS policies, and university health and safety committees.

In this paper, we described a design and implementation of a sensor node for environmental monitoring. The main focus of design for sensor nodes is to isolate MCU for treating sensors from the RF module for considering various communication environment. The second is to make the interface between MCU and varity of sensor. In addition, we choose a narrow band communication module, cc1020, for the admittance of Korea government comminication law. We also use a uC/OS-II as an operating system which is famous for 8bit MCUs. We showed that the communication performance is sufficient to use the communication module in a out-door environment through several experiments in that it is possible to transmit between loom distance through experiments in a mountain.

The 610 m high Canton Tower (formerly named Guangzhou New Television Tower) is currently considered as a benchmark problem for structural health monitoring (SHM) of high-rise slender structures. In the benchmark study task I, a set of 24-hour ambient vibration measurement data has been available for the output-only system identification study. In this paper, the vector autoregressive models (ARV) method is adopted in the operational modal analysis (OMA) for this TV tower. The identified natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes are presented and compared with the available results from some other research groups which used different methods, e.g., the data-driven stochastic subspace identification (SSI-DATA) method, the enhanced frequency domain decomposition (EFDD) algorithm, and an improved modal identification method based on NExT-ERA technique. Furthermore, the environmental effects on the estimated modal parameters are also discussed.
