Numerical prediction of nocturnal thermal high in summer of the 1995 near Taegu city located in a basin has been carried out by a non-hydrostatic numerical model over complex terrain through one-way double nesting technique in the Z following coordinate system. Under the prevailing westerly winds, vertical turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat over mountains for daytime hours are quite strong with a large magnitude of more than $120W/\textrm{m}^2$, but a small one of $5W/\textrm{m}^2$ at the surface of the basin. Convective boundary layer (CBL) is developed with a thickness of about 600m over the ground in the lee side of Mt. Hyungje, and extends to the edge of inland at the interface of land sea in the east. Sensible heat flux near the surface of the top of the mountain is $50W/\textrm{m}^2$, but its flux in the basin is almost zero. Convergence of sensible heat flux occurs from the ground surface toward the atmosphere in the lower layer, causing the layer over the mountain to be warmed up, but no convergance of the flux over the basin results from the significant mixing of air within the CBL. As horizontal transport of sensible heat flux from the top of the mountain toward over the basin results in the continuous accumulation of heat with time, enhancing air temperature at the surface of the basin, especially Taegu city to be higher than $39.3^{\circ}C$. Since latent heat fluxes are $270W/\textrm{m}^2$ near the top of the mountain and $300W/\textrm{m}^2$ along the slope of the mountain and the basin, evaporation of water vapor from the surface of the basin is much higher than one from the mountain and then, horizontal transport of latent heat flux is from the basin toward the mountain, showing relative humidity of 65 to 75% over the mountain to be much greater than 50% to 55% in the basin. At night, sensible heat fluxes have negative values of $-120W/\textrm{m}^2$ along the slope near the top of the mountain and $-50W/\textrm{m}^2$ at the surface of the basin, which indicate gain of heat from the lower atmosphere. Nighttime radiative cooling produces a shallow nocturnal surface inversion layer with a thickness of about 100m, which is much lower than common surface inversion layer, and lifts extremely heated air masses for daytime hours, namely, a warm pool of $34^{\circ}C$ to be isolated over the ground surface in the basin. As heat transfer from the warm pool in the lower atmosphere toward the ground of the basin occurs, the air near the surface of the basin does not much cool down, resulting in the persistence of high temperature at night, called nocturnal thermal high or tropical night. High relative humidity of 75% is found at the surface of the basin under the moderate wind, while slightly low relative humidity of 60% is along the eastern slope of the high mountain, due to adiabatic heating by the srong downslope wind. Air temperature near the surface of the basin with high moisture in the evening does not get lower than that during the day and the high temperature produces nocturnal warming situation.

본 논문은 육해상의 운송장치에 축냉시스템을 적용시키기 위한 기초 연구이다. 또한, 축냉재의 고액상변화에 대한 수치해석을 수행한 연구이다. 수치해석법으로는 유한차분법(Finite-Difference Method)을 이용하였으며, 1차원 비정상의 상태를 가정하여 계산하였다. 또한 용기는 직사각형의 구형용기로 가정하여 대칭의 조건을 이용하였다. 축냉을 목적으로 사용하는 열매체는 염화칼슘 수용액($CaCl_2$) 30wt%의 물성치를 사용하여 계산을 수행하였다. 계산에 영향을 미치는 요소로는 냉동고의 냉기 온도 및 냉기 유속이 있으며, 축냉재를 싸고 있는 용기는 플라스틱으로 가정하였다. 본 수치해석에서 경계층의 두께는 냉기의 속도 증가와 함께 얇게 되고 축열시간도 짧아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 냉기의 유속이 빨라질수록 열전달이 촉진되어 축냉용기 전면부에서의 온도가 낮아짐을 알았다. 축냉용기의 후면부에서는 경계층이 두꺼워져 열전달이 전면부에 비해 작아짐을 알았다.

A mass balance/photochemical modeling approach was used to evaluate the sea-to-air dimethyl sulfide (DMS) fluxes in tropical regions and part of the Southern Ocean. The flux determinations were based on 10 airborne observations by ACE 1 transit flights (i.e., Flights 4-9 and 29-32). The DMS flux values for the tropical regions ranged from 1.0 to 7.4 $\mu$mole/$m^2$/day with an average estimate of 4.2$\pm$2.3 $\mu$mole/$m^2$/day. The seasonal variations in the DMS flux predicted for the equatorial Pacific Ocean based on atmospheric DMS measurements were not entirely consistent with those derived from seawater DMS measurements were not entirely consistent with those derived from seawater DMS measurements reported in previous literature. Inhomogeneities in the DMS flux field were found to cause significant shifts in the atmospheric DMS levels even in the same sampling location. Accordingly, no definitive statement can be made at this stage regarding systematic differences or agreements in the DMS flux estimates from the two approaches. Moreover, this study strongly suggests that DMS oxidation is the most likely dominant source of SO$_2$in tropical regions, which is also supported by another set of compiled observations. Finally, these SO$_2$observations indicate that, when significant data was available for both the boundary and buffer layers, the vertical SO$_2$gradient between these two zones was primarily negative.

In this study, the impacts of local meteorology caused by tidal changes in the West Sea on ozone distributions in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) were analyzed using a meteorological model (WRF) and an air quality (CMAQ) model. This study was carried out during the day (1200-1800 LST) between August 3 and 9, 2016. The total area of tidal flats along with the tidal changes was calculated to be approximately $912km^2$, based on data provided by the Environmental Geographic Information Service (EGIS) and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF). Modeling was carried out based on three experiments, and the land cover of the tidal flats for each experiment was designed using the coastal wetlands, water bodies (i.e., high tide), and the barren or sparsely vegetated areas (i.e., low tide). The land cover parameters of the coastal wetlands used in this study were improved in the herbaceous wetland of the WRF using updated albedo, roughness length, and soil heat capacity. The results showed that the land cover variation during high tide caused a decrease in temperature (maximum $4.5^{\circ}C$) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) height (maximum 1200 m), and an increase in humidity (maximum 25%) and wind speed (maximum $1.5ms^{-1}$). These meteorological changes increased the ozone concentration (about 5.0 ppb) in the coastal areas including the tidal flats. The increase in the ozone concentration during high tide may be caused by a weak diffusion to the upper layer due to a decrease in the PBL height. The changes in the meteorological variables and ozone concentration during low tide were lesser than those occurring during high tide. This study suggests that the meteorological variations caused by tidal changes have a meaningful effect on the ozone concentration in the SMA.

Surface energy and $CO_2$ fluxes have been measured over an ocean at Ieodo Ocean Research Station of KORDI since May 2003. Eddy covariance technique, which is a direct flux measurement, is used to quantitatively understand the interaction between the ocean surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. Although fluxes were continuously measured during the period from May 2003 to February 2004, the quality control of these data yielded <20% of data retrieval. The atmospheric stability did not show any distinct dirunal patterns and remained near-neutral to stable from May to June but mostly unstable during fall and winter in 2003. Sensible heat flux showed a good correlation with the difference between the sea water temperature and the air temperature. The maximum fluxes of sensible heat and latent heat were $120Wm^{-2}$ and $350Wm^{-2}$ respectively, with an averaged Bowen ratio of 0.2. The ocean around the tower absorbed $CO_2$ from the atmosphere and the uptake rates showed seasonal variations. Based our preliminary results, the daytime $CO_2$ flux was steady with an average of $-0.1 mgCO_2m^{-2}s^{-1}$ in summer and increased in winter. The nighttime $CO_2$ uptake was greater and fluctuating, reaching up to $-0.1 mgCO_2m^{-2}s^{-1}$ but these data require further examination due to weak turbulent mixing at nighttime. The magnitude of $CO_2$ flux was positively correlated with the half hourly changes in horizontal mean wind speed. Due to the paucity of quality data, further data collection is needed for more detailed analyses and interpretation.

해상풍은 해양의 표층 해류 및 순환, 혼합층, 열속의 변화를 주도하며 해양-대기 상호작용을 이해할 수 있는 중요한 변수이다. 인공위성의 발달에 따라 산란계 관측 자료를 기반으로 산출한 해상풍은 여러 목적으로 광범위하게 사용되어 왔다. 한반도 연안과 같은 복잡한 해양 환경에서 산란계 관측 해상풍은 해양 및 대기 현상 이해에 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 위성 해상풍의 정확도 검증 결과가 다양한 활용을 위하여 중요하게 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 산란계인 MetOp-A/B (METeorological OPerational satellite-A/B)에 탑재된 ASCAT (Advanced SCATterometer) 해상풍 자료를 한반도 주변의 16개 지점에서 2020년 1월부터 12월까지 실측된 해양기상부이 해상풍 자료와 비교하여 해상풍의 정확도를 검증하였다. 해수면으로부터 4-5 m 고도에서 관측된 부이 바람은 LKB (Liu-Katsaros-Businger) 모델을 활용하여 10 m의 중립 바람으로 변환하였다. 일치점 생산 과정 결과 MetOp-A와 MetOp-B에 대하여 5,544개와 10,051개의 일치점을 만들었다. 각 위성 해상풍 풍속의 평균제곱근오차는 1.36 m s^-1와 1.28 m s^-1, 편차는 0.44 m s^-1와 0.65 m s^-1로 나타났다. 산란계의 풍향은 MetOp-A와 MetOp-B에서 각각 -8.03°와 -6.97°의 음의 편차와 32.46°와 36.06°의 평균제곱근오차를 보였다. 이러한 오차들은 해양-대기 경계층 내의 성층과 역학과 관련된 것으로 추정된다. 한반도 주변 해역에서 산란계 해상풍은 특히 풍속이 약한 구간에서 실측 풍속보다 과대추정되었다. 또한 연안으로부터의 거리가 가까워질수록 오차가 증폭되는 특성이 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 산란계 해상풍 자료를 이용하는 해양-대기 상호작용 및 태풍 연구와 같은 한반도 연안 해역의 예측 모델 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

동중국해 북부와 경계를 이루는 황해 남동부 해역에 대해 무기탄소의 월별 재고와 변동을 초래하는 플럭스들을 상자 모형으로 모의하였다. 월별 용존무기탄소의 자료는 네 차례 계절을 대표하는 관측 결과에 최근 발표된 논문의 자료를 발췌하여 구성하였다. 연간 용존무기탄소(C_T)의 재고가 정상상태에 있으며 표층에서 이류에 의한 변동이 무시할 정도로 작다고 가정하고 표층과 심층의 2-상자 모형을 사용했다. 모의 결과 월별 표층과 심층 사이의 재고는 혼합층 두께의 변동에 따른 혼합 플럭스가 -40~35 mol C m^-2 month^-1의 규모로 주도했다. 대기로부터 유입되는 CO₂ 플럭스는 약 2 mol C m^-2 yr^-1 이고, 혼합 플럭스의 1/100 미만으로 작았다. 생물 펌프 플럭스는 4~5 mol C m^-2 yr^-1 범위로 추정되었는데 이는 현장 실측 자료에 비해서 절반가량 수준이다. 물기둥의 C_T 재고는 동계 혼합이 끝나는 4월에 최대를 보이며 성층기에 조금씩 줄어든다. 따라서 C_T 총량은 성층기에 혼합기보다 높게 나타나는데 정상상태가 유지되려면 최대와 최소의 차분인 18 mol C m^-2 yr^-1 (= 216 g C m^-2 yr^-1)이 동중국해로 송출되어야 한다. 이를 황해 남부 경계 전체에 대해 외삽하면 4 × 10⁹ g C yr^-1 규모이다. 이 플럭스는 개념상 대륙붕 펌프에 해당한다. 실제로 태평양 외양역에 도달하려면 동중국해를 거쳐야 하므로 실제로 대륙붕 펌프로 기여하는 플럭스의 크기는 이보다 현저하게 낮을 것으로 전망된다. 자료 부족과 계산에 필수적인 가정에 수반되는 오류 때문에 추정값은 상당한 크기의 오차를 포함하지만 모의를 통해 C_T의 변동을 초래하는 플럭스 사이의 상대적인 기여도와 범위를 제약할 수 있었고 향후 연구에서 주목해야 할 사항을 도출할 수 있었다.

An abnormal decrease in ozonesonde sensor signal occurred during air-pollution study campaigns in November 2011 and March 2012 in Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). Sharp drops in sensor signal around 5 km above sea level and above were observed in November 2011, and a reduction of signal over a broad range of altitude was observed in the convective boundary layer in March 2012. Circumstantial evidence indicated that $SO_2$ gas interfered with the electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozone sensors in the ozonesonde and that this interference was the cause of the reduced sensor signal output. The sharp drops in November 2011 were attributed to the $SO_2$ plume from Popocat$\acute{e}$petl volcano southeast of MCMA. Experiments on the response of the ECC sensor to representative atmospheric trace gases showed that only $SO_2$ could cause the observed abrupt drops in sensor signal. The vertical profile of the plume reproduced by a Lagrangian particle diffusion simulation supported this finding. A near-ground reduction in the sensor signal in March 2012 was attributed to an $SO_2$ plume from the Tula industrial complex north-west of MCMA. Before and at the time of ozonesonde launch, intermittent high $SO_2$ concentrations were recorded at ground-level monitoring stations north of MCMA. The difference between the $O_3$ concentration measured by the ozonesonde and that recorded by a UV-based $O_3$ monitor was consistent with the $SO_2$ concentration recorded by a UV-based monitor on the ground. The vertical profiles of the plumes estimated by Lagrangian particle diffusion simulation agreed fairly well with the observed profile. Statistical analysis of the wind field in MCMA revealed that the effect Popocat$\acute{e}$petl was most likely to have occurred from June to October, whereas the effect of the industries north of MCMA, including the Tula complex, was predicted to occur throughout the year.
