Today, environmental pollution and destruction due to the industrialization of our modem society have been the global issues. Although now we can lead affluent lives through science technologies and economic development, these environmental problems have resulted in striking the harmonious balance between human beings and nature and threatened human lives with abnormal weather caused by the global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, and El Nino phenomenon, acid rain, decrease in species diversity, movement of hazardous materials, and harmful waste increase. We are aware of the importance of environmental education, but in reality, it seems impossible to implement appropriate environmental education on account of our educational climate which exclusively focuses on the entrance examination. However, environmental education is the most ultimate solution for those problems in that only when students understand our environment fully and grow habits to protect it through environmental education, the present environmental problems can be solved and more serious problems that can be resulted in the future can possibly be prevented. Thus, this study has examined the effect of using image media in the environment subject on students' environmental sensitivity. According to the results, it was shown that it had positive effects on 'sensitivity of environment', 'attitudes towards environment', and 'environmental affinitive behaviors'.

Reduction in stratospheric ozone layer increases the amount of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB: 280-320 nm) that reaches the earth ’ s surface. UVB radiationcan damage plants, resulting in decrease in growth and productivity. UVB-augmentation studies have indicated that the sensitivity to UVB radiation in plants varies among the species and cultivars. However. there are no definitive answers for the mechanisms of UVB-resistance in higher plants and for bioengineering design and development of UVB-tolerant plants. We have been studying physiological and biochemical aspects of the effects of UVB radiation on growth and yield of rice COryza sativa LJ. aiming to clarify the mechanism of resistance to UVB radiationin rice. At this meeting. weintroduce our research as followed: (1) supplementary UVB radiation has inhibitory effects on the growth. yield and grain development of rice; (2) UVB sensitivity of rice varies widely among cultivars; (3) among Japanese rice cultivars. Sasanishiki. a leading variety in northeast Japan. is more resistant to UVB. while Norin 1. a progenitor of Sasanishiki. is less resistant; (4)UV-sensitive Norin 1 cultivar is deficient in photorepair of UVB-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD). and this deficiency results from one amino acid residue alteration of CPD photolyase. These results suggest that spontaneously occurring mutation in CPD photolyase gene could lead to difference in UVB sensitivity in rice. and that CPD photolyase might be a useful target for improving UVB-sensitivity in rice by selective breeding or bioengineering of UVB-tolerant rice.

Differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL) is frequently used for atmospheric gas monitoring to detect impurities such as nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, iodine, and ozone. However, large differences in the on- and off-line laser wavelengths can cause serious errors owing to differential aerosol scattering. To resolve this problem, we have developed a new DIAL system for iodine vapor measurements in particular. The suggested DIAL system uses only one laser under seeded and unseeded conditions. To check the detection-sensitivity and error effects, we compared the results from a system using two seeded lasers with those from a system using a seeded and an unseeded laser. We demonstrate that the iodine concentration sensitivity of our system is improved in comparison to the conventional two seeded or two unseeded laser combinations.

본 연구에서는 새롭게 개발된 식생의 BVOCs 배출계수를 기반으로 MEGANv2.1을 구동 후 BVOCs 배출량을 산출하여 질소산화물과의 결합을 통해 대류권 오존농도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고 그에 대한 신뢰성을 검토하고자 한다. BVOCs 대상물질은 이소프렌(Isoprene)과 모노테르펜(Monoterpenes)으로 한정하였고, 모델링 도메인의 공간적 범위는 남한지역을 포함하는 한반도의 남부(위도 : 32.8N~39.3N, 경도 : 123.4E~130.9E)와, 시간은 2008년 5월 1일부터 6월 30일까지를 대상으로 하였다. 식생 BVOCs 배출 모델의 입력자료를 생성하기 위해 토지피복 자료는 MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)의 MCD12Q1 (Land Cover type 5, PFT)와 환경부의 중분류 토지피복도를 사용하였고, 엽면적지수 자료는 MODIS의 MCD15A2를 사용하였다. 또한, 인위적 활동에 의한 배출량을 산출하기 위해 사용된 모델은 SMOKE-Asia 1.20 버전(Woo et al., 2009)이며, 오존농도를 모의하기 위해 CAMx v6.0 모델을 사용하였다. 연구의 진행은 1) 기존에 우리나라에서 측정된 식생 배출 값들을 조사하여 새로운 식생 배출계수를 BVOCs 배출모델에 적용하고, 2) GIS S/W을 이용하여 식생 배출모델(MEGAN)에 사용되는 입력자료를 생성하고, 3) MEGANv2.1을 구동하여 식생 배출량을 산출하고, 4) 인위적 배출을 산출하는 모델(SMOKE-Asia)을 구동하여 나온 인위적 배출량과 식생 배출량을 결합하여 대기화학 수송 모델(CAMx)의 입력자료로 사용하고, 5) 대기화학 수송 모델에서 구동된 오존농도의 결과 값을 실제 측정 값과 비교하여 식생 배출량 결과의 적정성에 대해 검토하였다. CAMx 모델을 통해 5개의 시나리오(인위적+식생 VOCs 배출 시나리오 4개 : A, B, C, D / 인위적 VOCs 배출 시나리오 1개 : E)에 대해 오존 생성농도를 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 새롭게 적용한 식생 배출계수와 MODIS PFT를 사용한 시나리오 C에서 오존농도가 가장 높게 모의되었고, 인위적 VOCs 배출만을 고려한 시나리오 E보다 지역별로는 최대 53ppb, 도메인 평균으로는 2ppb 정도 높게 오존농도를 모의하고 있었다. 배출계수와 토지피복지도의 변화로 인한 오존농도의 차이 중에서는 배출계수의 변화로 인한 오존농도의 변화가 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 오존농도에 대해 모델링한 결과를 6개 도시지역의 오존 측정망 값과 비교한 결과, 자연적 VOCs 배출량이 상대적으로 작은 대도시와 주변 도시지역에서는 시나리오에 따른 모델과 측정 값과의 결정계수 값의 변화가 작게 나타났고, 자연적 VOCs 배출량이 높은 중소 도시지역에서는 시나리오에 따른 모델과 측정 값과의 결정계수 변화가 높게 나타났다.

Since UV-B radiation measuring networks have not been established, numerical models which calculate the flux from other readily available meteorological measurements may play an important role. That is, such a problem can be solved by using parameterization models such as two stream approximation, the delta-Eddington method, doubling method, and discrete ordinate method. However, most UV-B radiative transfer models have not been validated with measurements, because such models are not intended as practical computational schemes for providing surface estimates of UV-B radiation. The main concern so far has been to demonstrate model sensitivity for cloudless skies. In particular, few have been concerned with real cloud information. Clouds and aerosols have generally been incorporated as constituents of particular atmospheric layers with specified optical depths and scattering properties. The parameterization model presented here is a combination of a detailed radiative transfer algorithm for a coludless sky radiative process and a more approximate scheme to handle cloud effects. The model input data requires a daily measurement of the total ozone amount plus a daily record of the amount and type of cloud in the atmosphere. Measurements for an examination of the models at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Pusan National University have been takenfrom February, 1995. These models can be used to calculate present and future fluxes where measurements have not been taken, and construct climatologies for the period before ozone depletion began.

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the impact of PBL (Planetary boundary layer) scheme implemented in WRF on the result of meteorological fields and CMAQ modeling. 25-day period, representing high ozone concentration, was selected for the simulations. The three WRF domains covered East Asia region, Korean Peninsula and Seoul metropolitan area. The sensitivity of WRF-CMAQ modeling to the various PBL schemes was assessed and quantified by comparing model output and against observation from the meteorological and the air quality monitoring network within the domain. The meteorological variables evaluated included temperature, wind speed and direction over surface sites and upper air sounding sites. The CMAQ variables included gaseous species $O_3$ and $NO_x$ over monitoring stations. Although difference of PBL schemes implemented in WRF, they did not appreciably affect the WRF and CMAQ performance. There are partially differences between non-local and local mixing scheme, but are not distinct differences for the results of weather and air quality. It is suggested that impact of parameterization of vertical eddy diffusivity scheme in CMAQ also need to be researched in the future study.

A solar radiation model was used to investigate the UV radiation at the surface offing Sejong Station in West Antarctica. The results calculated by this model were compared with the values measured by UV-Biometer and UV-A meter during 1999-2000. In this study, the parameterization of solar radiative transfer process was based on Chou and Lee(1996). The total ozone amounts measured by Breve. Ozone Spectrophotometer and the aerosol amounts by Nakajima et al.(1996) was used as the input data of the solar radiative transfer model. And the surface albedo is assumed to be 0.20 in summer and 0.85 in winter. The sensitivity test of solar radiative transfer model was done with the variation of total ozone, aerosol amount, and surface albedo. When the cosine of solar zenith angle is 0.3, Erythemal UV-B radiation decreased 73% with the 200% increase of total ozone from 100 DU to 300 DU, but the decrease of UV-A radiation is about 1%. Also, for the same solar zenith angle, UV-A radiation was decreased 31.0% with the variation of aerosol optical thickness from 0.0 to 0.3 and Erythemal UV-B radiation was decreased only 6.1%. The increase of Erythemal W-B radiation with the variation of surface albedo was twice that of UV-A increase. The surface Erythemal UV-B and UV-A radiation calculated by solar raditive transfer model were compared with the measured values fer the relatively clear day at King Sejong Station in West Antarctica. The model calculated Erythemal UV-B radiation at the surface coincide well with the measured values except for cloudy days. But the difference between the model calculated UV-A radiation and the measured value at the surface was large because of cloud scattering effect. So, the cloud property data is needed to calculate the UV radiation more exactly at King Sejong Station in West Antarctica.
