The reliability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) particularly depends on the high quality of solid oxide electrolytes. The application of thinner electrolytes and multi electrolyte layers requires a more reliable characterization method. Most of the investigations on thin film solid electrolytes have been made for the parallel transport along the interface, which is not however directly related to the fuel cell performance of those electrolytes. In this work an array of ion-blocking metallic Ti/Au microelectrodes with about a $160{\mu}m$ diameter was applied on top of an ultrathin ($1{\mu}m$) yttria-stabilized-zirconia/gadolinium-doped-ceria (YSZ/GDC) heterolayer solid electrolyte in a micro-SOFC prepared by PLD as well as an 8-${\mu}m$ thick YSZ layer by screen printing, to study the transport characteristics in the perpendicular direction relevant for fuel cell operation. While the capacitance variation in the electrode area supported the working principle of the measurement technique, other local variations could be related to the quality of the electrolyte layers and deposited electrode points. While the small electrode size and low temperature measurements increaseed the electrolyte resistances enough for the reliable estimation, the impedance spectra appeared to consist of only a large electrode polarization. Modulus representation distinguished two high frequency responses with resistance magnitude differing by orders of magnitude, which can be ascribed to the gadolinium-doped ceria buffer electrolyte layer with a 200 nm thickness and yttria-stabilized zirconia layer of about $1{\mu}m$. The major impedance response was attributed to the resistance due to electron hole conduction in GDC due to the ion-blocking top electrodes with activation energy of 0.7 eV. The respective conductivity values were obtained by model analysis using empirical Havriliak-Negami elements and by temperature adjustments with respect to the conductivity of the YSZ layers.

This study presents a new nationwide quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) based on the hybrid surface rainfall (HSR) technique using the weather radar network of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). This new nationwide HSR is characterized by the synthesis of reflectivity at the hybrid surface that is not affected by ground clutter, beam blockage, non-meteorological echoes, and bright band. The nationwide HSR is classified into static (STATIC) and dynamic HSR (DYNAMIC) mosaic depending on employing a quality control process, which is based on the fuzzy logic approach for single-polarization radar and the spatial texture technique for dual-polarization radar. The STATIC and DYNAMIC were evaluated by comparing with official and operational radar rainfall mosaic (MOSAIC) of KMA for 10 rainfall events from May to October 2014. The correlation coefficients within the block region of STATIC, DYNAMIC and MOSAIC are 0.52, 0.78, and 0.69, respectively, and their mean relative errors are 34.08, 30.08, and 40.71%.

Sea ice concentration calculated from the AMSR-E onboard Aqua satellite by using NASA Team2 sea ice algorithm has proven to be very accurate over sea ice in Antarctic Ocean. When glacial ice such as icebergs and ice shelves are dominant in an AMSR-E footprint, the accuracy of the ice concentration calculated from NASA Team2 algorithm is not well maintained due to the different microwave characteristics of the glacial ice from sea ice. We extracted the concentrations of sea ice and glacial ice from two ENVISAT ASAR images of George V coast in southern Antarctica, and compared them with NASA Team2 sea ice concentration. The result showed that the NASA Team2 algorithm underestimates the concentration of glacial ice. To interpret the large deviation of estimation over glacial ice, we analyzed the characteristics of microwave radiation of the glacial ice in PR(polarization ratio), GR(spectral gradient ratio), $PR_R$(rotated PR), and ${\Delta}GR$ domain. We found that glacial ice occupies a unique region in the PR, GR, $PR_R$, and ${\Delta}GR$ domain different from other types of ice such as ice type A, B, and C, and open water. This implies that glacial ice can be added as a new category of ice to the AMSR-E NASA Team2 sea ice algorithm.

Estimations of depth, magnetic orientation, and strength of dipole moments aid discrimination between unexploded ordnance (UXO) and non-UXO using magnetic surveys. Such estimations may be hindered by geologic noise, magnetic clutter, and overlapping tails of nearby dipole fields. An improved method of inversion for anomalies of single or multiple dipoles with arbitrary polarization was developed to include intra-inversion filtering and estimation of background field gradients. Data interpolated to grids are flagged so that only nodes nearest to measurement stations are used. To apply intra-inversion filtering to such data requires a gapped filter. Moreover, for data with significant gaps in coverage, or along the edges or corners of survey areas, intra-inversion filters must be appropriately modified. To that end, edge-adaptive and gapped gradient-nulling filters have been designed and tested. Applications are shown for magnetic field data from Chongcho Lake, Sokcho, Korea and the U. S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

This paper presents the state of art and the role of geophysical exploration techniques with evaluating the trend of domestic and worldwide seawater intrusion research, and illustrates advanced techniques obtained through the project of 'Development of the techniques for estimation, prediction, and prevention of seawater intrusion' funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Korea. The advanced geophysical interpretation was achieved by adding the digital geophysical logging data. DC resistivity and TEM monitorings were applied to determine whether or not the seawater intrusion was in progress. Induced Polarization technique using electric current monitoring channel was introduced to discriminate seawater contaminated zone from highly conductive layer caused by clay minerals. A conceptual model was suggested with spatial visualization of the study area to predict the diffusion of seawater contamination. Finally, the future work of the development of geophysical techniques was suggested with the base of the present level of them.

In order to develop a new mineral exploration technique, a study was carried out about the potential mapping of Moisan area using SIP (Spectral Induced Polarization) data. The SIP inversion results were classified according to the geological regions, and the distribution characteristics of resistivity and phase values of SIP data were analyzed at the ore region. Based on the characteristics of SIP of ore bodies, we performed 3D potential mapping of Moisan area. The analyzed potential map was verified using that the locations and patterns of high potential regions of the results are well matched with those of the known ore bodies. If we get the higher spatial resolution SIP data, the potential mapping technique using SIP data can be effectively applied to the estimation of mining deposit.

본 연구에서는 비슬산 강우레이더 관측반경 내 표준유역별 정규화오차 정확도를 이용하여 강우량, 유역특성 등 강우레이더 관측의 수문학적 평가요소와의 상관 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 분석하면 강우레이더 관측 오차 또는 정확도가 수문학적 특성에 따라 얼마나, 어떻게 발생하는지를 추정할 수 있고, 이를 이용하여 홍수예보에 활용되는 입력 자료의 오차를 유역단위로 명확히 정량화 할 수 있어 보다 정확하고 신뢰도 높은 홍수예보에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 강수량 크기와 강수추정 정확도 간의 상관 특성을 분석하기 위해 표준유역 평균 최대 강수량과 강수추정 정확도 간의 분포특성을 분석하였다. 단기간의 자료를 분석하여 오차특성을 정규화 하기는 매우 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 비슬산 강우레이더로 관측된 2012년에서 2016년(5년)사이의 236개 강우사상에 대하여, 동기간의 기상청 AWS 지점 강우량을 기준으로 비슬산 강우레이더의 정규화오차 정확도(1-NE)를 산정한 후 이를 이용하여 850개 표준유역 별 유역평균 정규화오차 정확도를 재산정 하였다. 분석결과 표준유역 평균 최대강수량과 정규화오차 정확도 간에는 유의한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 표준유역 평균 최대강수량의 크기에 따라 정규화오차 정확도가 상대적으로 일정한 경향이 나타났고 후처리 단계에서의 편파변수 최적화 이후에는 레이더 강수추정의 정규화오차 정확도가 표준유역 평균 최대강수량 크기에 상관없이 일정해 지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 일정한 레이더 강수추정의 정규화오차 정확도는, 편파변수 최적화에 의해 관측 가능한 최대 기대 정확도 수준 도달에 도달했다고 볼 수 있으며, 표준유역에서 강우레이더의 강수추정 기대 정확도 수준은 84%(정규화오차 16%에 해당) 정도로 추정되었다.

면적감소계수(ARF)는 면적강우에 대한 지점강우의 비로 정의되며, 과거 면적확률강우량 산정시 유역 내의 여러 지점강우량을 티센기법, Kriging 기법 등을 통해 공간보정을 실시하고 면적강우량을 산정하였다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 강우의 시공간분포 특성을 정확히 반영하지 못하는 단점이 있기 때문에, 최근에는 많은 연구에서 레이더 강우를 활용한 ARF를 산정한다. 기존의 연구에서 이중편파레이더를 사용하여 낙동강 유역의 호우중심형 ARF를 산정한 바 있기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 산정된 ARF 값을 적용한 설계홍수량은 분석해보고자 한다. 대상유역은 낙동강 유역내의 유역들을 대상으로 하고자 한다. 낙동강 유역에는 약 $175km^2{\sim}2000km^2$의 다양한 면적의 유역들이 존재함을 확인하였다. 따라서 면적별로 대표적인 유역을 선정하여 설계홍수량을 산정하기에 적합한 지역이라 판단된다. 설계홍수량을 산정하기 방법으로는 강우-유출 모형을 이용하고자 한다. 이용할 모형은 호주에서 개발된 IHACRES 모형으로써, 개념적인 모형으로 장기 및 단기 강우사상을 모두 모의할 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 따라서 낙동강 내의 선정된 유역들을 실제 강우자료를 통해 각 유역의 매개변수를 산정하고, 확률강우량과 Huff분포를 이용한 지속시간 24시간의 설계강우량을 산정하고자 한다. 산정된 설계강우량에 앞서 소개한 이중편파레이더 ARF를 적용하여 설계홍수량을 산정하고, ARF를 적용하지 않고 산정한 설계홍수량, 두 값의 차이를 통해 ARF를 통해 감소된 설계강우량의 비와 ARF 적용 유무에 따른 설계홍수량 차이의 비를 비교하여 이중편파레이더 ARF가 면적별로 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다.

This study investigates the occupational mobility patterns of young wage employees at the local level of the labor market and empirically examines the interplay between worker-level and local labor market-level determinants between 2010 and 2020. The 4th to 14th waves of the Youth Panel 2007 were integrated with the Korea Network for Occupations and Workers and the Local Area Labor Force Survey for estimation using hierarchical linear model. Our results indicate that Gross Regional Domestic Product per capita is key determinant of occupational upward mobility. Also, Estimates of employment size, population density, and the unemployment rate of local labor market have different effects depending on the education level and occupational location of youth workers, suggesting that the effects of structural factors of local labor market may not be distributed equally among all youth wage workers. The findings have policy implications regarding the recent rise in inequality and polarization in local labor markets.

The objective of this study is the development and verification of the 4-electrode resistivity probe (4ERP) for the estimation of electrical properties of the saturated soils. The 4ERPs with wedge and plane types are manufactured to obtain the electrical resistivity without polarization at the electrodes by using Wenner array. The wedge type is for the penetration into the soil samples and the plane type is for the installation into the cells used for the laboratory tests. The consolidation tests are carried out by using 6 types of glass beads and 3 types of sands in size. The test results show that the electrical resistivity increases with a decrease in the porosity, and the constant m used in Archie's law is dependent on the particle shape rather particle size. The one dimensional liquefaction tests show that the porosity obtained by the 4ERP is similar to that determined by the volume fraction. The penetration of the 4ERP into the large scale calibration chamber produces the resistivity profiles. This study demonstrates that the 4ERP may effectively estimate the porosity of the saturated soils.
