Tall buildings are subjected to wind loading that can cause excessive wind-induced vibration. This vibration can affect the activities of the inhabitants of a building and in some cases fear for safety. Many codes and standards propose the use of curves of perception of acceleration that can be used to verify the serviceability limit state; however, these curves of perception do not take into account the uncertainty in wind-climate, structural properties, perception of motion and maximum response. The main objective of this study is to develop an empirical expression that includes these uncertainties in order to be incorporated into a simple procedure to evaluate the wind-induced acceleration in tall buildings. The use of the proposed procedure is described with a numerical example of a tall building located in Mexico.

지구온난화에 따른 해수면 상승과 태풍 강도의 증가는 연안역에 밀집한 주거 및 산업공간을 위협하는 요소로 최근 그 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 안전한 해상교통 및 폭풍해일과 파랑예측을 위해서 반드시 필요한 해상풍에 대한 연구이다. 해상풍은 연안역에서의 자연재해를 유발하는 여러 요소 중에서 중요한 연구과제이나, 현재 가상수치모델에 의한 해상풍 및 해면기압은 시 공간적으로 불충분하다. 따라서, 중규모 기상 모형인 Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF)을 사용하여 우리나라 주변해역을 모두 포함하며, 약 9km 격자로 매일 두 번씩 72시간을 예보하는 해상풍을 산출하는 시스템을 구축하였다. 이어도 해양과학기지와 황해중부부이에서 실측한 해상풍과 검증한 결과 상당히 유의할 만한 결과를 얻었으며, 자료동화을 이용하여 향후에는 보다 정확한 해상풍을 산출할 계획이다.

The A1B scenario predicts that the mean air temperature of South Korea will rise up to $3.8^{\circ}C$ by 2071. However, the effects of ecosystem services are declining because of various environmental problems, including climate change, land use change, stream intensification, non-point pollution, and untreated garbage. Moreover, horticultural sites which have various ecosystem services suffer highly absorbed heat from the heat island phenomenon associated with climate change. Therefore, we analyzed the heat island phenomenon occurring in an protected horticulture estimated area in Saemanguem, South Korea. Using an advanced measurement method, we examined the air temperature change derived from water channels as well as open spaces. The CFD analysis of coverage ratio 85% design showed wind speed of 2.09 m/s and temperature of $38.07^{\circ}C$. At a coverage ratio of 70%, the wind speed was improved to 2.61 m/s and the temperature was improved to $36.89^{\circ}C$. In Alternative 2 with wetlands and trees, the wind speed was 2.71 m/s and the temperature was $35.90^{\circ}C$. When the coverage ratio decreases to 55%, the wind speed increases showing 3.06 m/s and the temperature decreases showing $35.18^{\circ}C$.

Long-range transport of air pollutants was simulated using Comprehensive Acid Deposition Model (CADM) and Yonsei University-Sulfuric Acid Deposition Model (YU-SADM). For the simulation, weather patterns that represent the four seasons were derived through a clustering analysis with 5-years of meteorological data. The simulation result showed that in spring, influenced by strong low pressure from China, air pollutants of moved to the Korean Peninsula. In summer, humid air moved into the Korean Peninsula across the Yellow Sea while the north pacific high pressure extended, making the concentration of air pollutants lower than that in the other seasons. In autumn, air pollutants were transported by the northwest wind caused by the movement of high pressure over the Yellow Sea, while in winter air pollutants were influenced by northwest winds from continental highs. The amount of air pollutants in each season showed that high amount of pollutants were transported in winter due to the strong northwest wind. The in-flows were 3 to 8 times higher than those of the other seasons, and out-flows were about as twice as high. The amount of wet deposition in summer and autumn increased significantly compared to the amount in the other seasons due to the increase of rainfall. Source-receptor relationship analysis for sulfur showed that 70 to 91 precent of the total deposition came from the self-contribution by the Korean Peninsula. In winter, contribution from China was about 25 percent of the total deposition which was higher amount than any other season.

도시 계획적 측면에서 도시의 구조적 변화에 따른 기후영향을 파악하여 그 결과를 도시계획에 반영하는 것은 중요하다. 서울시에서는 도시계획 시나리오 정보를 제공하기 위해 도시계획정보시스템(Urban Plan Information System, UPIS)을 활용 중이다. 지자체의 실제 도시계획에 따른 기후영향을 평가하고 분석하기 위해서는 UPIS에서 제공하는 도시계획시나리오와 도시기후분석모델을 손쉽게 연계할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국립기상과학원의 도시기후분석모델(Climate Analysis Seoul, CAS)과 도시계획 시나리오를 연계하는 기술을 개발하였다. CAS는 건물과 식생의 물리적 배치에 따른 온도, 바람 등의 국지규모 변화와 중규모 기상모델인 MetPhoMod(METeorology and atmospheric PHOtochemistry mesoscale MODel)의 분석결과를 바탕으로 찬공기의 생성, 이동, 정체와 바람흐름, 열적환경 등을 분석하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 정밀한 도시정보를 모델에 적용하기 위해 고해상도의 항공 LiDAR(LIgit Detection And Ranging) 측량을 통해 생성된 래스터자료(1m 해상도)와 KOMPSAT-2(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite) 위성영상 자료(4m 해상도)를 이용하여 토지피복 및 수치표고자료로 활용할 입력자료를 생성하였다. 보다 정확한 도시지면 특징을 반영하기 위해 수치표면모델인 DSM(Digital Surface Model)과 수치지형모델인 DTM(Digital Terrain Model)을 전산유체역학모델(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 입력자료로 사용하여 상세바람분석을 수행하였다. 8방위의 유입류를 고려하여 재정비 전후의 도시구조물 주변의 흐름 및 풍속 분포와 녹지축 형성 전후의 열환경 변화를 분석하였다. 현실적인 기상상태 반영을 위해 CAS의 중규모 기상장을 입력자료로 사용하였으며, 그 결과 재정비에 따른 도시구조물 변화에 의해 바람길에 큰 변화가 확인되었다. 녹지축 형성 이후 전반적으로 재정비지역 주변의 온도가 감소하였다. CAS와 CFD의 연동을 통해 도시지역 재정비와 녹지축 형성 전후의 주변 바람길과 열환경에 대한 실제적인 평가가 가능하며, 도시개발계획과 녹지조성계획 수립에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

As a part of effort to establish an offshore wind resource assessment system of the Korean Peninsula, a numeric wind simulation using mesoscale climate model MM5 and a spatial distribution of offshore wind extracted from SAR remote-sensing satellite image is compared and analyzed. According to the analyzed results, the numeric wind simulation is found to have wind speed over predication tendency at the coastal sea area. Therefore, it is determined that a high-resolution wind simulation is required for complicated coastal landforms. The two methods are verified as useful ways to identify the spatial distribution of offshore wind by mutual complementation and if the meteor-statistical comparative analysis is performed in the future using adequate number of satellite images, it is expected to derive a general methodology enabling systematic validation and correction of the numeric wind simulation.

This paper surveys and complements contributions by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to techniques ensuring that the wind tunnel procedure for the design of high-rise structures is based on sound methods and allows unambiguous inter-laboratory comparisons. Developments that enabled substantial advances in these techniques include: Instrumentation for simultaneously measuring pressures at multiple taps; time-domain analysis methods for estimating directional dynamic effects; creation of large simulated extreme directional wind speed data sets; non-parametric methods for estimating mean recurrence intervals (MRIs) of Demand-to-Capacity Indexes (DCIs); and member sizing based on peak DCIs with specified MRIs. To implement these advances changes are needed in the traditional division of tasks between wind and structural engineers. Wind engineers should provide large sets of directional wind speeds, pressure coefficient time series, and estimates of uncertainties in wind speeds and pressure coefficients. Structural engineers should perform the dynamic analyses, estimates of MRIs of wind effects, sensitivity studies, and iterative sizing of structural members. The procedure is transparent, eliminates guesswork inherent in frequency domain methods and due to the lack of pressure measurements, and enables structural engineers to be in full control of the structural design for wind.

Global warming and climate change are increasing the intensity of typhoons and hurricanes and thus increasing the risk effects of typhoon and hurricane hazards on nuclear power plants (NPPs). To reflect these changes, a new NPP should be designed to endure design-basis hurricane wind speeds corresponding to an exceedance frequency of $10^{-7}/yr$. However, the short typhoon and hurricane observation records and uncertainties included in the inputs for an estimation cause significant uncertainty in the estimated wind speeds for return periods of longer than 100,000 years. A logic-tree framework is introduced to handle the epistemic uncertainty when estimating wind speeds. Three key parameters of a typhoon wind field model, i.e., the central pressure difference, pressure profile parameter, and radius to maximum wind, are used for constructing logic tree branches. The wind speeds of the simulated typhoons and the probable maximum wind speeds are estimated using Monte Carlo simulations, and wind hazard curves are derived as a function of the annual exceedance probability or return period. A logic tree decreases the epistemic uncertainty included in the wind intensity models and provides reasonably acceptable wind speeds.
