  • Agriculture is probably the most weather-dependent of all human activities. Variations lil climate have been, and continue to be, the principal source of fluctuations in global food production, particularly in the semi-arid tropical countries of the developing world. Throughout history, extremes of heat and cold, droughts and floods, and various forms of violent weather have wreaked havoc on the agricultural systems that depend on for food.(omitted)

  • A brief history of the Korean Meteorological Society (KMS) is presented for the 60-year period (1963~2022). And academic activities during the period are examined to evaluate their contributions to the achievement of the KMS's goal, that is, the advance of meteorology and circulation of meteorological knowledge. Membership of the KMS was less than 300 before 1990, but increased fast afterwards, exceeding 1000, 2000 and 3000 in 2002, 2014 and 2019, respectively. After 1990, 11 professional committees were set up gradually and played important roles in the advances of professional fields. Size of the KMS budget grew gradually in the 1990s and faster during the 2000s, showing fluctuations in the 2010s. The KMS has been quite active in academic activities such as academic journals, domestic and international conferences, and book publishing. The Journal of the KMS (JKMS) has led the advance of meteorology in Korea since the beginning of the KMS, while "Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences", which succeeded the JKMS in 2008, has been showing significant paper contributions from scientists around the world and increase of impact factor. Total number of presentations in the regular KMS conferences for the 2010s is 5 times larger than that for the 1990s, with a significant diversification of subject area. Internationally, the trilateral conference of the meteorological societies of Korea, China and Japan had been held since 2005. In 2015, the 3 societies stopped the conference and, instead, launched "Asian Conference on Meteorology". Meanwhile, the KMS has published glossaries, dictionaries, and textbooks of atmospheric sciences.

  • The Korea Meteorological Administration has recently focused on the promotion of the meteorological industry in the private sector. Broadcast meteorology has provided the main source of income to the Meteorological industry in the United States with The Weather Channel (TWC) being the most prominent enterprise. TWC has 31 years of history and has become an icon of innovation in the U.S. meteorological industry. TWC's success story was reviewed for the possible adaptation of Korea's meteorological media industry. Expected roles for public, academic, and private sectors were suggested for boosting industrial meteorology for the media at present and in the future.

  • 온실가스 배출로 인한 기후변화는 되먹임 고리의 형태로 연결되어 공진화 하는 자연생태계와 사회시스템의 지속가능성을 저해하는 위험요소가 되었다. 기후변화가 인위적인 온실가스 배출량의 상승에 의한 것으로 지적됨에 따라, 온실가스 배출원과 대기 간의 에너지 및 물질 교환과정에 대한 관심이 고조되었다. 본 고찰에서는 온실가스 모니터링의 배경에 대한 역사와 특별히 농업에서 배출되는 온실가스 관측을 위한 챔버법의 개발에 대해 요약하였다. 챔버를 이용하여 온실가스의 방출 특성을 분석한 국내 선행 연구들의 검토를 기반으로, 기후변화 적응을 위해 보다 나은 과학적 기초자료를 구축할 수 있도록 국내 챔버 관측의 문제점과 개선 방향을 간략히 논의하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 지진파 역행 전파를 이용하여 지진원을 영상화 하는 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 시간 역행 전파는 파동 방정식의 시간 반전의 불변성과 상반정리로 설명할 수 있으며 파동의 시간 역행 전파는 의학적인 목적을 비롯한 비파괴 검사, 그리고 탄성파 파형 역산에 사용되어 매질을 영상화 하는데 활용되고 있다. 지진 관측소에서 관측된 지진파형은 지진원으로부터 방출된 에너지를 기록한 것이다. 이를 시간의 역순으로 매질로 전파시키면, 지진으로부터 전파되었던 에너지가 진원시각의 지진원 위치에 집중하게 되어 지진원을 영상화 시키는 원리이다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 지진파 전파의 수치 모의를 위해 엇갈린 격자 유한 차분법과 병렬 처리 기법을 이용하여 탄성 매질에서의 파동방정식의 해를 구하였다. 수치모의 결과로부터 지진파 역행 전파를 이용해 지진의 시공간적 발생양상을 살펴볼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Yangyang Gangwon-do has begun the clearing of upland forested areas for development. This process has caused great damage from natural hazards such as landslides and flooding for many years. Moreover, proper hazard prevention strategies have not Yet been prepared. To provide useful information for developing hazard prevention strategies this study attempted to detect areas vulnerable to flooding in Yangyang using data such as topology, meteorology, history, land use, soil, hydrology, and society. It was found that roughly 30% of the study area was vulnerable to flooding. Also it was discovered that where the vulnerability index was high, there was increased amounts of flooding. The most vulnerable areas were where forests were cut and near livers. In addition, areas where frequent hazard events were reported had a high index of vulnerability. The results of this study will provide useful information in developing hazard prevention strategies.

  • This paper aims to examine from various perspectives how domestic research studies and projects related to climate change have been conducted to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean Meteorological Society (KMS). The 『50-year History of the Korean Meteorological Society』, published more than a decade ago, has never dealt with the history of development of individual fields of meteorology such as climate change. Therefore, it is of significance to look at the history of research activities and studies achieved by KMS members in the area of climate change over the past 60 years. The research on climate change in KMS is classified by era from the beginning to the latest and the contents are examined by major research projects at that time. During the past 60 years, climatological research in KMS has been mainly focused on general climate, synoptic climate, and applied climate (urban climate) until the 2000s. However, since the 1990s, climate change has become an important area for climate research. The 2000s are the beginning era of climate change research, since the major projects and researches for climate change has begun in the period. The 2010s can be a time when climate change prediction and monitoring are expanded and refined to meet the rapidly increasing demands for climate information from a wide range of areas. We concluded that the development of the research capabilities of the society over the past 60 years, in particular in the past two decades, in the field of climate change research is remarkable.

  • The Chugudae is a pedestal for the Chugugi. While many Chugudae were made during the Joseon Dynasty period, seven remained in existence until the early 20th century. Only five of them remain to this day-Gwansanggam (Royal Office of Astronomy and Meteorology), the Seonhwadang in Daegu, the Changdeok Palace, Tongyeong, and Yeongyeongdang. The Changdeok Palace Chugudae is the only existing model made not only as a meteorological instrument but also as a memorial statue. It has been a challenge to decipher 41 of the 368 characters in 'Chugugi-myeong (The title of the inscriptions on the Changdeok Palace Chugudae)' as these had been eroded. However, the interpretation of the full text of 'Chugugi-myeong' became possible thanks to the "Cheoljae Jinjeok (澈齋眞蹟)" which was discovered through this study. The key sentences of the 'Chugugi-myeong' include the reason for creation, the size and functions of the Chugugi and a eulogy to the reigns of King Sejong, Youngjo and Jeongjo. Moreover, its splendid design is worthy of further study. To conclude its true meaning and value, the Changdeok Palace Chugudae requires a more extensive investigation from the viewpoint of an art history.

  • Various aspect of epidemics broke out continually from the middle of Joseon Dynasty due to the famine and drought caused by abnormal climate of the sixteenth century and the war. Thus the Dynasty performed sacrificial rites, isolated the patients and published plenty of medical books related epidemics in order to cure of the patients, and Heojun edited 『Byeokyeoksinbang』 as 'Dangdokyeok' broke out at Gwanbuk(關北) districts in 1613, Heojun explained the cause of Dangdokyeok as meteorology under the feudal conditions, and concluded Simhwa(心火) by fever toxin, Therefore he selected the method of puting out Simhwa by attack of fever toxin. In addition he presented emergency treatment that can maintain the airway by bleeding. To treat Dangdokyeok, Heojun presented lots of prescriptions so as Seungmagalgeuntang(升麻葛根湯), Cheongyeolhaedoksan(淸熱解毒散), Yeongyopaedok-san(連翹敗毒散), Bangpungtongsaongsan(防風通聖散), Jowiseunggitang(調胃升氣湯) and Hwangryeonhaedoktang(黃連解毒湯) etc. And he proposed Samdueum (三豆飮), Realgar(石雄黃) and so on to prevent infection from that. They presume from 120 to 150 years as the period of human adaptation to the first epidemics. Dangdokyeok put a large number of people to death at first, but it wasn't referred at the history any more after Byeokyeoksinbang. So we can say that the treatment of Heojun may be effective. Common cold and dyspeptic cold broke out in our country differently from 'Shanghan(傷寒)' in the China, so we had settled 'pestilence infectious epidemic disease(瘟疫)' while 'epidemic febrile disease(溫病)' of the China. Dangdokyeok of Heojun is similar to 'Scalet fever' belonging to 'virulent heat pathogen(溫毒)', 'newly epidemic febrile disease(新感溫病)'. As a cure of Dangdokyeok, the Korean medicine uses the treatment of removing fever state whereas the western medicine uses the antibiotics to kill the streptococcus. The symptoms of Dangdokyeok are remarkably similar to those of the Scarlatina, so this occupies a high position on the world history of medicine in aspects of the period and details of symptoms. These days we have the problems that the tolerance of antibiotics increases and disease of unknown cause is prevalent. It means the western medicine get to limits. So if we progress epidemiography based on Heojun's medicine, we may contribute to the world history of medicine.

  • 본 논문은 우리나라 기원전 6년 11월부터 1928년 까지 1934년 간의 강설기록을 살펴 본 것으로서 다음과 같은 특징을 정리할 수 있었다. 첫눈 기록은 733년 7월에 신라땅과 1637년 전라도 무주에서 있었고 끝눈 기록은 6월 11일에 눈보라가 온 것으로 기록되어 한 여름에도 눈이 왔었다는 사실을 확인할 수 있다. 적설량은 척관법 단위를 써서 기록하였는데 최고 적설량은 약 열 자 혹은 한 장(장여 혹은 일장) 기록이 있었으며 자주 나타나는 큰눈 기록은 대개 4∼5자가 많이 발견된다. 단위를 치(촌)와 푼(분)까지 사용하여 기록한 바 정확성을 기하려 한 흔적도 보인다. 눈피해는 주로 인명과 가옥 등을 중심으로 기록하고 있다. 눈피해 중 인명피해로는 크게 3건이 발견된다. 1524년과 1521년에 함경도 경성 땅에서 각각 100여명과 140여명, 1670년에는 제주도에 큰눈이 내려 91명이 사망한 것으로 기록되어 있다. 첫눈이 오면 상서로운 것으로 여겨 나라에서는 신설하례(新雪賀禮) 의식을 갖고 나라의 안녕을 기원하였고, 눈이 오지 않으면 왕에게 간하여 기설제를 지내기도 하였다. 눈과 관련된 기상이변은 여러 번 발견된다. 눈 올 때 심한 천둥번개가 친다거나, 이상한 벌레들이 섞여 내린다거나 붉은 색깔의 눈이 내렸다는 기록이 있다. 검색한 결과는 단어별 건수에 있어서나 내용에 있어서나 미진한 것이다. 검색방법이나 검색에 사용해야 할 단어 중에는 좀 더 합당한 단어들이 있을 줄 안다. 차후의 연구를 위한 과제로 남기기를 희망한다.
