본 연구의 목적은 기상조절기술의 군사적 활용방안을 연구하고, 한반도 환경 및 기술수준 등을 고려하여 연구의 우선순위를 과학적인 기법으로 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위해 각 기술들을 군사적으로 이용할 경우 장점과 단점을 살펴보고, 전문가 집단을 구성하여 델파이 기법을 통해 우선순위 평가를 위한 지표를 도출하였으며, 분석적계층분석 기법을 통해 평가지표의 가중치와 각 평가지표 내에서의 기술들의 가중치를 유도하여 최종적인 연구 우선순위를 정하였다. 분석결과 전리층 변조 기술이 무기체계로서의 효과성과 한반도 환경에서의 적합성 측면에서 가장 큰 우선순위가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 북한의 전자전 및 미사일 위협 등을 고려할 때 전리층 변조 기술은 기상전의 일부로써 우선적인 확보가 필요하며, 통일 이후의 잠재적 주변국 위협에 대응하기 위해서는 전리층 변조뿐만 아니라 군사 과학기술 선진국들과의 기술적 격차가 있는 인공강우(설), 낙뢰유도, 안개 소산 기술도 민간기술의 적극적인 활용(Spin-On)을 통해 기반을 구축해야 할 시기이다.

전세계적으로 기상조절 연구가 활발히 수행되어져 왔으나 연구 효과를 보다 정량적으로 검증할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기상조절 실험에 대한 강수 증가 효율인 시딩효과(seeding effect)를 레이더 자료를 이용하여 검증하였다. 또한, 시딩물질이 대기수상체 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 레이더 자료, 기상조건, 확산 수치모의 자료가 사용되었다. 먼저, 시딩전, 시딩중, 시딩후의 세 단계로 시딩효과를 분석할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 강원도와 서해 지역을 대상으로 수행된 세 개의 기상조절 실험 사례에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 자연강수가 없을 때는 강수 변화가 예측된 구역에서 감지된 레이더 반사도가 시딩효과로 판단되었다. 자연강수가 발생하면 관측된 최대 반사도에서 자연강수의 영향을 제외하여 시딩효과를 결정하였다. 적용사례에 대해 시딩효과로 강수강도가 0.1 mm/h 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 시딩 구름에 빙정이나 과냉각 수적, 혼합상의 수상체가 분포한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 기상조절 연구 결과는 수자원 확보와 구름 물리 연구에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Under the leadership of the National Institute of Meteorological Sciences (NIMS), the first domestic autonomous flight-type weather modification experimental drone for fog and lower-level cloud seeding was developed in 2021. This drone is designed based on a multi-copter configuration with a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 25 kg, enabling the installation of up to four burning flares for seeding materials and facilitating weather observations (temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind) as well as aerosol (PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and PM_1.0) particle measurements. This research aims to introduce the construction of the drone and its recent applications over the past two years, providing insights into the experimental procedures, effectiveness verification, and improvement directions of the weather modification drone-based rain enhancement. In particular, partial confirmation of the experimental effects was obtained through the fog dissipation experiment on December 10, 2021, and the lower-level cloud seeding case study on October 5, 2022. To enhance the scope and rainfall amount of weather modification experiments using drones, various technological approaches, including adjustments to experimental altitude, seeding lines, seeding amount, and verification methods are necessary. Through this research, we aim to propose the development direction for weather modification drone technology, which will serve as foundational technology for practical application of domestic rain enhancement technology.

Recently, research on various font designs has been actively conducted to deliver effective emotional information in a digital environment. In this study, we propose a Hangul font outline vector modification algorithm that effectively conveys sensitivity according to weather information and can be transformed immediately. The algorithm performs a series of transformations: sets outlines according to design pattern templates, calculates the glyph's position to reflect physical rules, splits outline segments into smaller sizes and deforms the outlines. Through this, we could create several vector font designs such as humidity, cloud, wind, and snow. The usability evaluation was close to good, so it can be used in diverse ways if we improve readability and effective design expression.

The National Institute of Meteorological Sciences in Korea has developed the Weather Modification Hybrid Rocket (WMHR), an advanced system that offers enhanced stability and cost-effectiveness over conventional solid-fuel rockets. Designed for precise operation, the WMHR enables accurate control over the ejection altitude of pyrotechnics by modulating the quantity of oxidizer, facilitating specific cloud seeding at various atmospheric layers. Furthermore, the rate of descent for pyrotechnic devices can be adjusted by modifying parachute sizes, allowing for controlled dispersion time and concentration of seeding agents. The rocket's configuration also supports adjustments in the pyrotechnic device's capacity, permitting tailored seeding agent deployment. This innovation reflects significant technical progression and collaborations with local manufacturers, in addition to efforts to secure testing sites and address hybrid rocket production challenges. Notable outcomes of this project include the creation of a national framework for weather modification technology utilizing hybrid rockets, enhanced cloud seeding methods, and the potential for broader meteorological application of hybrid rockets beyond precipitation augmentation. An illustrative case study confirmed the WMHR's operational effectiveness, although the impact on cloud seeding was limited by unfavorable weather conditions. This experience has provided valuable insights and affirmed the system's potential for varied uses, such as weather modification and deploying high-altitude meteorological sensors. Nevertheless, the expansion of civilian weather rocket experiments in Korea faces challenges due to inadequate infrastructure and regulatory limitations, underscoring the urgent need for advancements in these areas.

We estimate the economic benefit of weather modification (precipitation enhancement and fog dissipation) by assuming its operation for the considered regions. Based on the statistical data, the economic benefit of the virtually operational precipitation enhancement experiments for the Andong and Imha basins, where the natural precipitation is relatively lack in South Korea, is calculated 348 for the water resources, 22,458 for forest fire prevention, and 28,458 million won/year for the drought relief. The benefit of the fog dissipation operation for the Incheon International Airport is estimated 7,365 million won/year for the flight delay due to fog. The calculated ratio of benefit to cost for precipitation enhancement operation for the basins is 14.07, which is comparable to that conducted in other countries.

일반적으로 도로의 혼잡상태나 운영상태를 평가하기 위한 효과척도로서 연속류에서는 V/C비를 이용하고, 단속류에서는 평균통행속도를 이용한다. 연속류 및 단속류의 운영상태를 평가하기 위한 효과척도에는 도로조건과 교통조건이 주요한 변수로 적용된다. 그런데 도로 및 교통조건외에 강우시와 같은 기상여건이 도로의 운영상태에 영향을 준다. 연속류에서는 강우시 기상상태를 반영한 보정계수에 대한 연구가 선행되어 있으나, 단속류에서는 관련 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 단속교통류에서 평균통행속도를 산정할 때 반영할 수 있는 강우시 통행속도 감소에 대한 보정계수를 산정하였다. 도로 및 교통조건이 동일하고 강우시 및 비강우시 등 기상조건이 다를 때 강우시 통행속도를 종속변수로 하는 회귀분석을 시행함으로써 강우시 통행속도 보정계수를 산정하였다. 회귀분석을 통하여 산정된 강우시 보정계수는 첨두시간대, 비첨두시간대, 전시간대로 구분하여 산정하였다. 본 연구를 통한 강우시 통행속도 보정계수를 이용하여 기존에 이용되고 있는 도시내 도로의 운영상태를 평가하기 위한 평균통행속도 산정식을 보완할 수 있다.

Prognostic meteorological model, MM5V3 (Mesoscale Model 5 Version 3) was used to assess the effects of the land-use modifications on spatial variations of temperature and wind fields in Busan during the selected period of summer season in 2000. We first examined sensitivity analysis for temperature between MM5V3 predictions and meteorological data observed at 4 AWS (Automatic Weather System) stations in Busan, which exhibited low structural and accurate errors (Mean Bias Error, MBE: 0.73, Root Mean Square Error, RMSE: 1.18 on maximum). The second part of this paper, MMSV3 simulations for the modification of land-use was performed with 1 km resolution in target domain, 46$\times$46 $\textrm{km}^2$ area around city of Busan. It was found that modification result from change of surface land-use in central urban area altered spatial distributions of temperature and wind. In particular, heat island core moved slightly to the seaward at 1300 LST. This results may imply that modification of surface land-use leads to change the thermal environments; in addition, it has a significant effect on local wind circulations and dispersions of air pollutants.

In order to modify incorrect flow data in the sewage system, the method using the stage-discharge relation and hydraulic characteristic curve of sewer pipe are applied. The modified data were verified with field measured data and the infiltration analysis using the modified data was carried out. When flowrate were measured using the flow-meter in fair weather, the stage data were comparatively consistent but velocity data were very poor for the most part. Therefore, it was recommended that sewage flowrate variation characteristic curve and infiltration were computed using the modified data on the basis of stage data. Especially, in the case of using the hydraulic characteristic curve, extrapolation results of the rainy season flowrate using regression curve on the basis of the data in fair weather were also reasonable.
