본 논문에서는 인간 생활에 기본이 되는 온도, 상대습도를 기초로 하여 인간의 온열감을 측정하여 남한의 온열감 분포의 특성과 기후유형을 파악하였다. 연구 방법은 설문지 검사를 통하여 온습도 지수 공식을 이용, 월별 온열감, 연 누적 온열감 지수를 계산하였다. 월별 온열감 지수 분석 결과 온열감의 지역적 차이는 위도 및 고도, 지형적 요인, 기단체계에 따른 영향으로 나타났다. 연 누적 온열감 지수분포는 대체로 남쪽에서 북쪽으로 갈수록, 해안에서 내륙으로 갈수록 기후 스트레스가 증가하였다. 이러한 원인으로 겨울의 추위 스트레스와 여름의 더위 스트레스가 높기 때문에 나타나는 현상으로 사료된다. 연 생리 기후유형은 쾌적함(M)기후유형, 극히 무더움(ES)유형, 쾌적함-극히 무더움(M-ES)유형, 쾌적함-무더움(M-S)유형, 더움-극히 무더움(W-ES)유형, 서늘함-극히 무더움(C-ES)유형, 서늘함-쾌적함(C-M)유형, 서늘함-쾌적함-극히 무더움(C-M-ES)유형으로 도합 8개의 기후유형으로 구분된다.

The climate of the earth is expected to change rapidly and continuously. Despite climate change is expected to impact on productivity of crop and livestock, a study for adaptation and impact of livestock to global warming is not enough. This study was performed to develop a method to evaluate the effects of heat stress on dairy cattle. Feedlot environment and health status of livestock were measured through an infrared thermography camera and a temperature-humidity sensor. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity were measured to calculate the Temperature humidity index (THI). The change of the milk yield was similar to THI data pattern, suggesting that THI might play an important role to predict the effect of climate change on dairy cattle. THI data would be useful to predict long-term climate change effects on dairy cattle with RCP8.5 scenario.

Korea, located in East Asia in the northern hemisphere, is experiencing severe climate changes. Specifically, the heat stress caused by global warming is negatively affecting the dairy sector, including milk production and reproductive performance, as the major dairy cattle Holstein-Friesian is particularly susceptible to heat stress. Here, we collected artificial insemination and pregnancy data of the Holstein and the Jersey cows from a dairy farm from 2014 to 2021 and analyzed the association between the conception rate and the temperature-humidity index, calculated using the data from the closest official weather station. As the temperature-humidity index threshold increased, the conception rate gradually decreased. However, this decrease was steeper in the Holstein breed than in the Jersey one at a temperature-humidity index threshold of 75. To evaluate the effects of heat stress on the oocyte quality, we examined the nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of Holstein (n = 158, obtained from six animals) and Jersey oocytes (n = 123, obtained from six animals), obtained by ovum pick-up. There were no differences in the nuclear maturation between the different conditions (heat stress: 40.5℃, non- heat stress: 37.5℃) or breeds, although the Holstein oocytes seemed to have a lower metaphase II development (p = 0.0521) after in vitro maturation under heat stress conditions. However, we found that the Holstein metaphase II oocytes exposed to heat stress presented more reactive oxygen species and a peripheral distribution of the mitochondria, compared to those of the Jersey cattle. Here, we show that weather information from local meteorological stations can be used to calculate the temperature-humidity index threshold at which heat stress influences the conception rate, and that the Jersey cows are more tolerant to heat stress in terms of their conception rate at a temperature-humidity index over 75. The lower fertility of the Holstein cows is likely attributed to impaired cytoplasmic maturation induced by heat stress. Thus, the Jersey cows can be a good breed for the sustainability of dairy farms for addressing climate changes in South Korea, as they are more resistant to hyperthermia.

Heat stress negatively affects milk quality altering its nutritive value and cheese making properties. This study aimed at assessing the impact of seasonal microclimatic conditions on milk quality of Friesian cows. The study was carried out in a dairy farm from June 2013 to May 2014 at Beni-Suef province, Egypt. Inside the barn daily ambient temperature and relative humidity were recorded and used to calculate the daily maximum temperature-humidity index (mxTHI), which was used as indicator of the degree of heat stress. The study was carried out in three periods according to the temperature-humidity index (THI) recorded: from June 2013 to September 2013 (mxTHI>78), from October 2013 to November 2013 (mxTHI 72-78) and from December 2013 to April 2014 (mxTHI<72). Eighty Friesian lactating dairy cows were monitored in each period. The three groups of cows were balanced for days in milk and parity. Milk quality data referred to somatic cell count, total coliform count (TCC), faecal coliform count (FCC), Escherichia coli count, percentage of E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus, percentage of fat, protein, lactose, total solid and solid non-fat. Increasing THI was associated with a significant decrease in all milk main components. An increase of TCC, FCC, and E. coli count from mxTHI<72 to mxTHI>78 was observed. In addition, the isolation rate of both S. aureus and E. coli increased when the mxTHI increased. The results of this study show the seriousness of the negative effects of hot conditions on milk composition and mammary gland pathogens. These facts warrant the importance of adopting mitigation strategies to alleviate negative consequences of heat stress in dairy cows and for limiting related economic losses.

A TP/WVP-3000A, ground-based microwave radiometer, that was first introduced to South Korea has been operated since August 22, 2007 at the National Center for Intensive Observation of Severe Weathers (NCIO). Using the dual-band, the radiometer provides temperature and humidity soundings from the surface up to 10 km height with the high-temporal resolution of a few minutes. In this study, the performance of the radiometer on the predictability of the high impact weathers was evaluated and various practical applications were investigated. To verify the retrieved profile data from the radiometer, temperature and relative humidity soundings are compared with those from the rawinsonde launched at the NCIO and Gwangju station. The root mean squared errors for temperature and relative humidity soundings were smaller under rainy weather conditions. The correlation coefficient between PWVs (Precipitable Water Vapors) obtained from the radiometer and Global Positioning System satellite at Mokpo station is 0.92 on average. In order to investigate the structure and characteristics of precipitation, stability indexes related to rainfall such as the Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE), K-index, and Storm RElative Helicity (SREH) were calculated using windprofiler at the NCIO from 14 to 16 September, 2007. CAPE and K-index tended to be large when the thermodynamic unstability was strong. On the other hand, SREH index was dominantly large when the dynamic unstability was strong due to the passage of the typhoon 'Nari'.

전세계적인 기후변화로 인해 국내 평균기온과 여름철 폭염 강도가 심화되면서 고온스트레스로 인가축 피해를 완화하기 위한 사양 전략이 필요한 상황이다. 국내육계사의경우 터널식 환기계사나 쿨링패드 등 시설을 설치하여 여름철 실내온도를 저감하고 있다. 그러나 쿨링패드의 경우 계사내부의 습도를 증가시켜 역으로 피해를 유발할 수 있어 사용시 주의를 요한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내의 대표적 계사 형태인 터널식 환기 무창 육계사에서 쿨링패드를 가동시 계사 내부의 온도 저감 효과를 더위지수(temperature-humidity index; THI)로 함께 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 각각 다른 지역에 위치한 8개의 터널식 환기 무창계사 육계농가를 대상으로 여름철(6~9월) 온도와 습도 데이터를 수집하였다. 해당 농가들은 쿨링패드의 유무에 따라 2개의 처리군으로 나뉘었으며, 출하 2주 전 기준으로 온습도 데이터를 추출하여 계사 내·외부간 온습도 및 THI의 편차를 구하였다. 메타분석 결과, 여름철 가장 더운 낮시간대인 14시를 기준으로 대조구 대비 쿨링패드 보유 농가에서 내외부 온도의 차이가 크고, 해가 지는 16시대에 내외부 온도의 차이가 줄어드는 것으로 관찰되었다(P<0.05). 쿨링패드에 따른 상대습도에 대한 유의적인 차이는 없었으나(P>0.05), 스트레스를 수치화한 THI 지수로 환산하였을 때, 오후 3시부터 대조구 대비 쿨링패드 보유 처리구가 THI 편차 값이 감소하여 효과가 줄어드는 것으로 판단되었다(P<0.05). 본 연구의 결과 14시 쿨링패드를 보유한 농가는 쿨링패드가 없는 대조구 농가보다 계사내외부 온도차가 크게 나타났고, 이는 계사내부 온도저감에 효과가 있다고 판단할 수 있다. 따라서 쿨링패드 사용시 계사내 더위피해를 저감하는 데 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되며, 본 연구의 결과는 하절기 육계의 고온스트레스 저감을 위해 쿨링패드 운용시 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

기후변화는 농업에 막대한 영향을 미치며, 특히 지구 온난화로 인해 미래로 갈수록 기온과 습도가 현재와는 다른 양상으로 변화될 것으로 예측된다. 현재와 다른 기후 환경하에서는 농작물과 더불어 가축들은 환경변화에 따른 스트레스에 노출될 위험성이 높아질 수 있다. 특히 미래 기후는 평균기온 상승으로 설명할 수 있는데, 고온 스트레스에 대한 위험도는 기온과 상대습도를 통해 계산되는 온습도지수를 통해 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상청 종관 관측 10개 지점에서 1961년부터 2020년까지 60년간 수집된 기온과 상대습도 자료를 활용하여 지점별 온습도지수를 기간에 따라 비교하고, 1981년부터 2020년까지 고해상도 분포도로 제작된 기온과 상대습도 분포도 자료를 통해 온습도지수를 분포도 형태로 제작하여 시간의 흐름에 따른 공간적인 변화량을 분석하였다. 또한, 온습도지수를 활용해 산출할 수 있는 고온 스트레스 발생 일수를 기간에 따라 비교하였다. 온습도지수는 과거에서 현재로 이어지는 동안 평균적으로 상승하는 양상을 나타냈으나 지점별로 상승 패턴은 차이가 있었다. 또한 온습도지수가 상승함에 따라 고온 스트레스 일수 또한 증가하는 양상을 나타냈으며, 이는 향후 열로 인한 축산업 분야의 비용증가를 예상할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 온습도지수를 통해 가축의 고온 스트레스 위험성을 평가할 수 있음을 시사하며 향후 기후 변화 시나리오 자료를 통한 미래 기간에 대한 온습도지수 분석에 대한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

This study aimed to determine the effects if ambient temperature (Ta), relative humidity (RH), and temperature-humidity index (THI) on milk production parameters such as milk yield, fat, protein, milk urea nitrogen (MUN), and lactose. A total of fifty (50) mid-lactating Korean Holstein cows (144 - 150 days postpartum) were randomly assigned to two groups in equal numbers (n = 25) according to the type of diet received: conventional feed, a mixture of 56: 44 ratio of roughage and concentrate mix, and organic feed containing 100% organic roughage. Temperature, RH, and THI were recorded daily and averaged monthly. Conventional group showed higher dry matter intake throughout the experiment and thus, showed higher total milk yield and milk composition such as milk fat, protein, and lactose content than organic milk. Milk of the conventional group showed higher polyunsaturated fatty acid concentration. Highest milk yield was observed in September (21.7℃, 82.4%RH) in conventional group (27.69 kg·day^-1) and in June (21.4℃, 72.9%RH) in organic group (14.31 kg·day^-1). In conventional group, milk yield was positively correlated with Ta and THI, and milk protein was negatively correlated with Ta, RH, and THI. In organic feeding, only the MUN among milk composition parameters showed a significant correlation where it showed a negative correlation with Ta, RH, and THI. Conventional feeding showed significantly higher milk yield, fat, protein, and lactose than organic feeding throughout the experiment, although, organic feeding showed to be less likely affected by Ta, RH, and THI than the conventional feeding.

The development of infrared thermometry has led many researchers to use plant temperatures, and specifically the temperature of the crop canopy in the field, for estimating the water stress of a crop. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of leaf temperature in irrigation scheduling. An experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with chinese cabbage. Leaf temperature was measured with infrared thermometry and evapotranspiration of the crop was measured by lysimeters. Influence of the difference between leaf temperature and air temperature on crop evapotranspiration was evaluated under varying water stress condition. A further objective was to evaluate the effect of other climatic variables on the relationship between evapotranspiration and temperature difference between leaf and air. A statistical model for estimating evapotranspiration using the temperature difference, relative humidity. and radiation was developed and tested. Crop water stress index was calculated using vapour pressure deficit and the temperature difference. Relations between the crop water stress index and crop evapotranspiration was tested. The index was closely related with evapotranspiration.
