Increasing ozone concentrations are observed over Japan from year to year. One cause of high ozone concentration in the Kanto region, which includes areas inland from large coastal cities such as metropolitan Tokyo, is the transportation of precursors by sea breezes. However, high ozone concentrations are also observed in the morning, before sea breezes approach inland areas. In this point, there would be a possibility of residual ozone existing above the nocturnal boundary layer affects the ozone concentration in the following morning. In this study, we utilized the Weather Research and Forecasting model and the Community Multiscale Air Quality model to evaluate the effect of regional precursors and residual ozone on ozone concentrations over the inland Kanto region. The results show that precursors emitted from non-metropolitan areas affected inland ozone concentrations more than did precursors from metropolitan areas. Moreover, calculated results indicate downward transportation of residual ozone, resulting in increased concentration. The residual ozone was also affected by precursors emitted from non-metropolitan areas.

In order to clarify the vertical ozone distribution in planetary boundary layer of coastal area with complex terrain, an observation campaign was carried out around Gwangyang Bay with dense pollutant emission sources during two days from June, 4 2007. For this observation are Radiosonde, SODAR(SOnic Detection And Ranging) and Tethered ozone sonde were employed. The surface meteorological and photochemical observation data provided by AWS (Automatic Weather System) and AQMS (Air Quality Monitoring System) were also applied for analysis. Synoptic condition is strongly associated with lower level ozone distribution in complex terrain coastal area. Since mesoscale circulation induced by difference of characteristics of land and sea and orographic forcing is predominant under calm synoptic condition, vertical distribution of ozone is complicate and vertical ozone concentration greatly fluctuated. However in second day when synoptic influence become strong, ozone concentration in lower levels is vertically uniform regardless of observation level. This results in vertical observation indicates that vertical ozone distribution is often determined by synoptic condition and also affects surface ozone concentration.

가뭄은 홍수와 더불어 매우 심각한 자연재해이며, 그 특성상 광역적이고 장기간 발생함에 따라 구체적인 발생시점, 규모, 범위 등을 규명하기가 어렵다. 다만, 적시에 경보해야 하는 홍수와 달리 진행속도가 느리고 시간적으로 대처할 여유가 있어 진행중 일지라도 초기에 감지한다면 그 피해를 최소화할 수 있다. 미국 등 수문기상 선진국에서는 수문기상 장기예보자료를 활용한 가뭄전망정보 생산 및 제공하고 있으며, 활용성을 검증한바 있다. 국내의 경우 기상청에서는 대기-해양-해빙 모델을 접합한 GloSea5 (Global Seasonal forecasting system version 5) 모델을 도입하였으며, 가뭄예보를 목적으로 장기예보자료 기반의 가뭄전망정보 생산체계를 구축한 바 있다(기상청, 2012; 손경환 등, 2015). 본 연구에서는 장기예보자료 기반의 수문기상 전망정보를 이용하여 2014-15년 가뭄사례에 대한 가뭄감시 및 전망정보를 생산 및 평가하였다. 수문기상전망 정보는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5와 지면모델을 이용하여 생산하였으며, 관측자료와 수문전망정보 기반의 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 매스컴 및 언론 보도 자료부터 2014-15년 가뭄에 대한 행정구역별 피해사례를 수집하였으며, 이를 기반으로 시계열, 지역별 및 통계적(CC, RMSE) 분석을 이용하여 선행시간별 정확도를 평가하였다. 1개월 및 2개월 전망정보의 정확도가 높음을 확인하였으며, 가뭄심도가 심각한 시기의 가뭄상황을 적절히 재현하는 것으로 나타났다.

Generally, the weather forecast system has been run using prescribed ocean condition. As it is widely known that coupling between atmosphere and ocean process produces consistent initial condition at all-time scales to improve forecast skill, there are many trials on the application of data assimilation of coupled model. In this study, we implemented a weakly coupled data assimilation (short for WCDA) system in global NWP model with low horizontal resolution for coupled forecast with uncoupled initialization, following WCDA system at the Met Office. The experiment is carried out for a typhoon evolution forecast in 2017. Air-sea exchange process provides SST cooling and gives a substantial impact on tendency of central pressure changes in the decaying phase of the typhoon, except the underestimated central pressure. Coupled data assimilation is a challenging new area, requiring further work, but it would offer the potential for improving air-sea feedback process on NWP timescales and finally contributing forecast accuracy.

가뭄을 전망하는 방법으로는 통계적 방법과 물리적 방법으로 구분할 수 있다. 통계적 방법은 과거의 기상 및 수문현상이 미래에도 재현될 수 있다는 전제하에 미래 가뭄상황을 전망하는 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 예측된 결과들이 모두 과거의 경향에 국한됨에 따라 최근에 급변하는 수문기상의 특성을 고려하는데 한계가 있다(Trenberth, 1994). 물리적 방법은 주어진 초기 수문기상조건으로부터 역학적 알고리즘이 탑재된 기상 및 수문모형의 연계모의를 통하여 미래 가뭄을 전망하는 방법으로 모형에 따른 불확실성이 발생할 수 있으나 최근 수문순환의 변화를 예측가능하다는 장점이 있어 활용도가 높다. 본 연구에서는 기상예보자료와 지표수문모형을 연계한 물리적 기반의 수문학적 가뭄전망정보를 산정하고, 활용성을 평가하였다. 기상예보자료는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5로부터 생산된 자료를 이용하였으며, 수문학적 가뭄전망을 위해 MSWSI (Modified Surface Water Supply Index)를 활용하였다. 수문학적 가뭄전망정보는 현재의 수문조건이 지속된다는 가정하에 예보선행시간 3개월까지 산정하였다. 2015~16년 기간에 중권역별 가뭄전망정보를 산정하였으며, 전망정보의 예측성은 통계분석을 이용하여 정량적으로 평가하였다. 금회 제시한 연구방법은 현재의 수문조건이 지속될 시 기상예보에 따른 중권역별 수문학적 가뭄을 예측할 수 있다는 점에서 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

농업적 가뭄을 모니터링하기 위해 토양수분량, 증발산량, 지하수위 등을 이용하며, 농업용 저수지의 저수율을 기반으로 농업용수 공급능력을 평가해 왔다. 특히, 농업용 저수지에 대한 농업적 가뭄을 평가하기 위해 저수율 관측 자료를 저수율을 이용하거나, 관측 자료가 없는 경우 물수지 모형을 이용한 연구는 다수 진행되어 왔다. 다만, 농업적 가뭄을 전망하는데 있어 물수지 모형의 활용은 입력 자료의 구축 및 기상예보자료의 활용 기술 부족으로 많은 평가가 진행되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 기상예보자료와 회귀모델을 연계한 농업적 가뭄전망정보를 산정하고, 활용성을 평가하였다. 기상예보자료는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5로부터 생산된 자료를 이용하였으며, 농업적 가뭄을 평가하기 위해 농업용 저수율 자료 기반인 RDI (Reservoir Drought Index)를 활용하였다. 농업적 가뭄전망정보는 현재의 수문조건이 지속된다는 가정 하에 예보선행시간 3개월까지 산정하였다. 가뭄전망정보를 평가하기 위해 과거 가뭄사상을 대상으로 산정하였으며, 전망정보의 예측성은 통계분석을 이용하여 정량적으로 평가하였다. 금회 제시한 연구방법은 현재의 수문조건이 지속될 시 기상예보에 따른 농업적 가뭄을 예측할 수 있다는 점에서 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Floating LiDAR systems (FLSs) are used in many countries because they are easier to install than stationary weather towers, have low maintenance costs, and can be installed in deep sea areas. However, FLSs are rarely used in Korea due to a lack of clear evaluation criteria to verify the reliability and uncertainty of their measurements. This study is the first to verify the reliability of FLSs in Korea with one-year simultaneous observation of six lidar systems - two fixed and four floating systems - in sea areas of Gunsan and Yeonggwang. The reliability of FLSs measurement data was verified by comparison between fixed and floating systems. Moreover, differences between existing wind resource maps and the data observed from the six points were analyzed and wind resource maps were calibrated. The results show a return rate of more than 95 % of the observed data and strong correlations between fixed and floating systems (average R2 of 0.977). Additionally, errors in wind speed predictions to produce a wind resource map could be significantly reduced from 5.7 % to 0.6 % after calibrations with the observation data.

The K-DRUM(K-water hydrologic & hydraulic Distributed RUnoff Model), a distributed rainfall-runoff model of K-water, calculates predicted runoff and water surface level of a dam using precipitation data. In order to obtain long-term hydrometeorological information, K-DRUM requires long-term weather forecast. In this study, we built a system providing long-term hydrometeorological information using predicted rainfall ensemble of GloSea5(Global Seasonal Forecast System version 5), which is the seasonal meteorological forecasting system of KMA introduced in 2014. This system produces K-DRUM input data by automatic pre-processing and bias-correcting GloSea5 data, then derives long-term inflow predictions via K-DRUM. Web-based UI was developed for users to monitor the hydrometeorological information such as rainfall, runoff, and water surface level of dams. Through this UI, users can also test various dam management scenarios by adjusting discharge amount for decision-making.

In this study, we examined the UA (upwelling age) using wind data of AWS/ASOS in the East Sea coast and the correlation between UA and SST (sea surface temperature) from May to August in 1995 to 2016. The data used the 6 observations of the wind data of AWS/ASOS and the SST data of the COD/RISA provided by the National Institute and Fisheries Science near the East Sea coast. The UA was calculated quantitatively low but it rose when the actual cold water mass occurred. Correlation analysis between UA and SST showed the negative (-) r (correlation coefficient) predominately. At the time of cold-water mass in June to August 2013, the r had a very high negative value of -0.65 to -0.89 in the 6 observations. It proved that as the UA increases, the SST is lower. By knowing the UA, we were able to evaluate the trend of upwelling in the cold-water mass of the East Sea coast in the long term and it will contribute to minimizing the damage to aquatic organisms according to the size and intensity of the upwelling.

Sea surface wind is an important variable for elucidating the atmospheric-ocean interactions and predicting the dangerous weather conditions caused by oceans. Accurate sea surface wind data are required for making correct predictions; however, there are limited observational datasets for oceans. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain long-period high-resolution sea surface wind data. First, the ERA5 reanalysis wind field, which can be used for a long period at a high resolution, was regridded and synthesized using the asymmetric typhoon wind field calculated via the Generalized Asymmetric Holland Model of the numerical model named ADvanced CIRCulation model. The accuracy of the asymmetric typhoon synthesized wind field was evaluated using data obtained from Korea Meteorological Administration and Japan Meteorological Administration. As a result of the evaluation, it was found that the asymmetric typhoon synthetic wind field reproduce observations relatively well, compared with ERA5 reanalysis wind field and symmetric typhoon synthetic wind field calculated by the Holland model. The sea surface wind data produced in this study are expected to be useful for obtaining storm surge data and conducting frequency analysis of storm surges and sea surface winds in the future.
