  • From December 2014 to November 2015, an automatic weather system (AWS) was installed over a wide road of Daegu to continuously measure meteorological factors and surface temperature. We investigated the effective operating period of the clean-road system using the daily maximum and minimum air and asphalt surface temperatures, with the aim of creating an optimum thermal environment. The clean-road system was installed over a part of the broad way of Dalgubul(Dalgubul-Daero) by Daegu Metropolitan City in 2011. Until now, the clean-road system has been operated from the middle of April to the end of September. We assumed that it was desirable that the clean-road system could be operated when the discomfort index was above 55. In conformity with the conditions, we concluded that the optimum operation period of the clean-road system is from the end of March to about the middle of October.

  • Jeju Island relies on subterranean water for over 98% of its water resources, and it is therefore necessary to continue to perform studies on drought due to climate changes. In this study, the representative standardized precipitation index (SPI) is classified by various criteria, and the spatial characteristics and applicability of drought in Jeju Island are evaluated from the results. As the result of calculating SPI of 4 weather stations (SPI 3, 6, 9, 12), SPI 12 was found to be relatively simple compared to SPI 6. Also, it was verified that the fluctuation of SPI was greater fot short-term data, and that long-term data was relatively more useful for judging extreme drought. Cluster analysis was performed using the K-means technique, with two variables extracted as the result of factor analysis, and the clustering was terminated with seven-time repeated calculations, and eventually two clusters were formed.

  • In this study, standard precipitation index- based analysis associated with run theory was performed using 53 years' (1967-2019) precipitation data to investigate the meteorological drought in Chuncheon. The duration of the meteorological drought in Chuncheon was 8.06 months, magnitude of the drought was -8.21, and average drought depth was -1.08. The drought in May 2014 lasted 21 months until January 2016; the drought scale and average depth was -34.06 and -1.62, respectively. This was the most severe drought in Chuncheon. As a result of drought frequency analysis, the drought scale of May to December in 2014 was estimated to be -16.16, and the return period was estimated to be 300 years. These results are expected to further increase the magnitude and frequency of weather droughts caused by climate change. Therefore, it is critical to prepare appropriate structural measures.

  • Hydrogen as an environmentally friendly energy carrier has received special attention to solving uncertainty about the presence of renewable energy and its dependence on time and weather conditions. This material can be prepared from different sources and in various ways. In previous studies, fossil fuels have been used in hydrogen production, but due to several limitations, especially the limitation of the access to this material in the not-too-distant future and the great problem of greenhouse gas emissions during hydrogen production methods. New methods based on renewable and green energy sources as energy drivers of hydrogen production have been considered. In these methods, water or biomass materials are used as the raw material for hydrogen production. In this article, after a brief review of different hydrogen production methods concerning the required raw material, these methods are examined and ranked from different aspects of economic, social, environmental, and energy and exergy analysis sustainability. In the following, the current position of hydrogen production is discussed. Finally, according to the introduced methods, their advantages, and disadvantages, solar electrolysis as a method of hydrogen production on a small scale and hydrogen production by thermochemical method on a large scale are introduced as the preferred methods.

  • 가뭄은 발생과정과 피해 영향에 따라 기상학적, 수문학적, 농업적, 사회경제학적 가뭄으로 분류할 수 있으며, 각 가뭄은 서로 직·간접적으로 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 기상학적 가뭄에서 수문학적 가뭄으로의 전이 분석을 위하여 WRF-Hydro(Weather Research and Forecasting and Model Hydrological modeling extension package)모형을 한반도 대상으로 구축하였다. WRF-Hydro 모형을 한반도에 적절히 사용하기 위하여 표면유출, 보수깊이, 표면 거칠기와 같은 파라미터 보정을 모형의 유출량 결과 값과 관측된 유출량 값을 비교 평가하여 수행하였다. 수문학적 가뭄을 정의하기 위해 Standardized Runoff Index(SRI)를 도출하였고, 기상학적 가뭄 정의에는 Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI)를 사용하였다. 한반도 가뭄이 발생한 2008년부터 2015년까지 SPI와 SRI의 기간 및 심도를 정량화하고 가뭄 전이 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면 수문학적 가뭄은 기상학적 가뭄이 발생 5일에서 49일 이후에 발생하며, 발생 횟수가 적으며 크기가 작으나, 상대적으로 긴 가뭄 기간을 보였다. 이러한 분석은 지면 및 수문 모형 기반 한반도 가뭄 사상 예측 및 이해에 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

  • The study analyzes the forest status of each local government for Korean forests and believes that it can be used as basic data for setting the direction pursued by each local government. The study took into account the fact that the forest rate in Korea was 63.5%, because it was judged that the higher the proportion of forest area, the more important it was to use the characteristics of forests. The characteristics of forests were analyzed based on four factors in 12 factors to identify the location of the ground body by dividing seven types. In addition, basic information on carbon absorption sources was provided by grasping the ability of carbon absorption sources per year through the amount of forest resources to be analyzed. In addition, as a result of analyzing the characteristics of the weather for the promotion of carbon absorption sources, the flat area on the side of Gangneung Mountain was a warm forest with a warm index of 106.0.

  • The Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) introduced by the Marine Environment P rotection Committee(MEPC) in International Maritime Organization(IMO) has significantly assisted in regulating CO2 emissions. However, in adverse weather conditions, it can lead to accidents due to slow steaming of vessels and low engine propulsion power. In response to this issue, the MEPC presented guidelines for the minimum propulsion power of the main engine for maintaining the course of vessels in adverse weather conditions. However, the guidelines are only applicable for vessels with a deadweight of 20,000 tons, leaving out small and medium ships. This study evaluated vessels subject to the guidelines of minimum propulsion power and proposed revised guidelines. In addition, relevant cases of marine accidents were investigated with the aim of investigating the minimum propulsion power of main engine for medium and small ships not covered by the guidelines. In order to achieve this, engine propulsion power was analyzed according to the size of the affected vessels. The results obtained from this study could be used as a minimum power criterion that can be considered for ship building to reduce marine accidents in adverse weather for small and medium ships.
