복잡한 기상을 예측하기 위해 레이더와 윈드프로파일러 네트워크의 품질을 평가하였다. 한반도 전역에 걸쳐 배치되어 있는 UHF 도플러 윈드프로파일러와 도플러 기상 레이더는 조밀한 공간 해상도의 관측망을 형성한다. 레이더 네트워크는 3차원 역학 자료를 도출하고, 작은 규모와 중간 규모의 수치 모델 출력 자료를 분석할 수 있다. 이러한 고해상도의 관측 연구는 세계 어느 곳에서도 수행되지 않았다. 관측망 분석 결과는 수치 모델링에 근거한 배경 바람장과 일치하였다. 본 연구는 국지 기상뿐만 아니라 악기상 예측에 도움이 될 것이다. The quality of the radar and profiler network was estimated to forecast difficult meteorological situations. A network of UHF Doppler wind profilers and Doppler weather radars have been deployed all over the Korean Peninsular, with dense spatial resolution between instruments. The radar network allows to retrieve the three dimensional dynamics and to analyze the numerical model outputs at small and meso scales. This work has seldom been performed in any other place of the world, with such a high resolution. The wind field from radar network is a good agreement with the background wind fields based on the numerical modeling. This study will be helpful to forecast severe weathers as well as local meteorological phenomena.

An analog to digital converter(: ADC) has been designed to extract video signals of marine X-band radar and convert to digital signals in order to produce rainfall information. X-band weather radars are suitable for high temporal-spatial resolution observations of rainfall over local ranges but they are very expensive and require professional management. The marine radars with 10-2 cost facilitate data collection and management as well as economic benefits. To validate the usefulness of the developed ADC, comparative observations were made with weather radar for short term precipitation cases. The rainfall distribution of marine radar observations are consistent with that of weather radar within a radius of 15 km. This demonstrates the usability of marine radar for rainfall observations. 선박용 X 밴드 레이더의 영상 신호를 추출하고 디지털 신호로 처리하여 강우 정보를 생산하는 변환기(Analog to Digital Converter, ADC)를 설계하였다. X 밴드 기상 레이더는 국지적 범위에 대한 강우의 시공간적 고해상도 관측에 적합하지만 가격이 매우 비싸고 전문적인 관리가 필요하다. 이에 비해 10-2 비용의 선박용 레이더는 경제적인 이득뿐만 아니라 자료 수집 및 관리를 용이하게 한다. 개발한 변환기의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 단기 강수 사례에 대한 기상 레이더와 비교 관측을 수행하였다. 선박용 레이더의 강우 관측 결과는 반경 15 km 이내에서 기상 레이더와 일치하였다. 이를 통해 선박용 레이더의 강우 관측 활용성을 입증하였다.

In this study, the variations of the carbon dioxide fluxes were investigated with soil temperatures in the grassplot and seasonal variations of carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes were analysed. Soil temperatures, carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes were measured on the grassplot in Pukyong National University. Field measurements were carried out 25 times from March in 2010 to March in 2011 with nine points on the grassplot. Seasonal variations of carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes showed an inverse relation. In summer, carbon dioxide concentrations are lower and carbon dioxide fluxes are higher. In winter, carbon dioxide concentrations are higher and carbon dioxide fluxes are lower. On the grassplot, carbon dioxide emission rate increase when the soil temperature is more than 20℃ and the emission rate decrease when the soil temperatures are less than 10℃. When the accumulated rainfall for five days before measurement day is 20~100 mm, it is showed that the more rainfall, the more carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide emission rate from the grassplot to the upper atmosphere was increased or decreased by the factors such as soil temperature, growth and wither of grass and rainfall. The results of this study showed that the emission of carbon dioxide in the grassplot is dominantly controlled by seasonal factors (especially soil temperature and rainfall).

본 연구에서는 3차원 바람장 생성을 위한 수치 모델의 상층기상 입력 자료로 윈드프로파일러 자료의 적용 가능성과 유용성을 조사했다. 10개 지점의 윈드프로파일러 자료와 기상 예측 모델 WRF의 결과를 기상진단 모델 CALMET에 입력하여 산출한 바람장을 8개 지역에서 관측된 라디오존데 자료와 통계적으로 비교 검증하였다. WRF 바람장 모의 결과를 CALMET에 적용하여 모의한 수평 풍속에 비해 1시간 간격의 윈드프로파일러 자료를 CALMET에 적용하여 모의한 수평 풍속이 평균 제곱근 오차 1.5 m/s 내에서 관측 결과와 일치하고 특히 연안 지역에서 해풍과 같은 국지적인 바람 변화를 잘 모의하였다. 풍향의 평균 제곱근 오차는 $50^{\circ}{\sim}70^{\circ}$로써 지형의 영향으로 오염된 윈드프로파일러의 풍향 오차에 기인한다. 윈드프로파일러 자료를 CALMET에 적용하면 대부분의 고도에서 상대적으로 정확한 바람을 신속하고 정확하게 모의할 수 있기 때문에 본 연구에서 제시하는 방법은 연안 지역의 기상뿐만 아니라 안전 환경 감시에 유용할 것으로 기대된다. In this paper, the applicability and usefulness of windprofiler input data were investigated to generate three dimensional wind field. A logical diagnostic model CALMET with windprofiler data at ten sites and with weather forecasting model WRF output was evaluated by statistically comparing with the radiosonde data at eight sites. The horizontal wind speed from CALMET simulated with hourly windprofiler data is in good agreement with radiosonde observations within 1.5 m/s of the root mean square error, especially local circulation of wind such as sea breeze over the coastal region. The root mean square error of wind direction ranged $50^{\circ}{\sim}70^{\circ}$ is due to the wind direction error from the windprofiler polluted by ground clutters. Since the exact wind can be produced quickly and accurately in most of the altitude with windprofiler data on CALMET, we expect the method presented in this study to be useful for the monitoring of safe environment as well as weather in the coastal zone.

GPS 라디오존데는 정밀 기상 센서와 GPS 위성 네트워크에서 생성된 데이터를 사용하여 풍선이 터질 때까지 상승하면서 종관 규모의 연직 관측을 수행하도록 설계되었다. GPS 라디오존데는 정밀한 온도, 습도 및 기압 센서를 내장하고 있다. GPS 라디오존데를 사용하여 2016년 3월 9일 18시부터 2016년 3월 12일 06시까지 서해의 세 섬에서 대기경계층을 집중관측하였고, 야간 안정층이 억제되고 오히려 야간 혼합층이 발달되는 사례를 조사하였다. 야간 혼합층은 3월 9일에 지표 열플럭스에 의해 발달된 반면에 3월 10일 혼합층 높이가 가장 높았던 21시에는 시어 생성이 가장 높았다. 난류운동에너지를 생산하는 수평 바람의 연직 층밀림과 표면열플럭스가 야간에도 혼합층을 성장시키는 데 중요한 역할을 하였다. The GPS radiosonde is designed to conduct a full synoptic sounding to balloon burst using data generated from precision meteorological sensors and the GPS satellite network. The GPS radiosonde include proven, accurate temperature, humidity and capacitance aneroid pressure sensors. The atmospheric boundary layer was intensively observed in three islands of the west sea from 18 LST on March 9, 2016 to 06 LST on March 12, 2016. We investigated the restriction of nocturnal stable layer and rather the development of the mixed layer at night. On March 9, nocturnal mixed layer was developed by buoyancy heat flux. On the other hand, on March 10, the shear production was higher especially at 21 LST when the mixed layer height was the highest during the intensive observation period. The wind shear and the surface heat flux which produce the turbulent kinetic energy played an important role to grow the mixed layer even at night.

Spatial distribution of precipitation has been estimated based on the local gauge correction (LGC) with a fixed inverse distance weighting (IDW), which is not optimized in taking effective radius into account depending on the radar error. We developed an algorithm, improved local gauge correction (ILGC) which eliminates outlier in radar rainrate errors and optimize distance power for IDW. ILGC was statistically examined the hourly cumulated precipitation from weather for the heavy rain events. Adjusted radar rainfall from ILGC is improved to 50% compared with unadjusted radar rainfall. The accuracy of ILGC is higher to 7% than that of LGC, which resulted from a positive effect of the optimal algorithm on the adjustment of quantitative precipitation estimation from weather radar.

The rainfall cases were identified by rainfall estimation techniques which were developed by using X - band marine radar. A digital signal converter was used to convert the signal received from the marine radar into digital reflectivity information. The ground clutter signal was removed and the errors caused by beam attenuation and beam volume changes were corrected. The reflectivity showed a linear relationship with the rain gauge rainfall. Quantitative rainfall was estimated by converting the radar signal into an cartesian coordinate system. When the rainfall was recorded more than 5 mm hr⁻¹ at three automatic weather stations, the rain cell distribution on the marine radar was consistent with that of the weather radar operated by Korea meteorological Adminstration. X밴드 선박용 레이더를 이용하여 개발한 강우 추정 기술로 강우 사례를 검증하였다. 디지털 신호 변환기를 사용하여 선박용 레이더로부터 수신된 신호를 디지털 반사 정보로 변환하였다. 반사도 정보에서 지형클러터신호를 제거하고, 빔 감쇠와 빔 부피의 변화에 의해 발생하는 오류를 보정 처리하였다. 처리된 반사 정보는 우량계 강우량과 선형적인 관계를 보였다. 레이더 신호를 직교좌표계로 변환하여 정량적 강우를 추정하였다. 자동기상관측소 세 지점에서 5 mm hr⁻¹ 이상의 강우가 기록된 사례에서 선박용 레이더의 강우 분포는 기상청 운용 기상 레이더의 결과와 일치하였다.

신호대잡음비의 임계값 설정에 따른 UHF 윈드프로파일러 바람벡터의 정확도 평가

A minimum threshold for the signal to noise ratio (SNRmin) has to be set in the data processing system of wind profiler radar (WPR). The data collection rate and the accuracy of the WPR wind vector depend on the SNRmin. The WPR at Uljin is operated with an SNRmin of 1 dB which is a relatively large threshold. We found that the accuracy and the continuity of the WPR wind vector with height were directly related to the variability of the SNR and vertical gradient of the squared refractive index. We investigated a quantitative method for determining a new SNRmin for the WPR at Uljin and it was evaluated with radiosonde data. The accuracy and continuity of the wind vector from an SNR of less than 1 dB, began to decrease at an altitude of 3.5 km. Most of the SNR values were less than .3.5 dB in altitudes higher than 3.5 km. We retrieved high-accuracy wind vectors at altitudes over 3 km where measurements were deficient with an SNRmin of 1 dB.

Ground echo is radar return from stationary targets such as buildings and trees. Wind vectors from the wind profile radar in Gangneung are affected by ground echoes due to the complex mountainous terrain located to the west and the south. These ground echoes make a spurious peak close to the direct current (DC) line signal in Doppler spectra. Wind vectors polluted by ground clutters were determined from spectra of oblique beams. After eliminated the terrain echoes, the accuracy of wind vector compared with radiosonde was improved about 68.4% and its relative coefficient was increased from 0.58 to 0.97.

Wind profiler provides vertical profiles of three-dimensional wind vectors with high spatiotemporal resolution. The wind vectors is useful to analyze severe weather phenomena and to validate the various products from numerical weather prediction model. However, the wind measurements are not immune to ground clutter, bird, insect, and aircraft. Therefore, quality of wind vectors from wind profiler must be quantitatively evaluated prior to its application. In this study, wind vectors from UHF wind profiler at Ganwon Regional Meteorological Administration was quantitatively evaluated using 27 radiosonde measurements that were launched every two or three hours according to rainfall intensity during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) from June to July 2013. In comparison between two measurements, wind vectors from wind profiler was relatively underestimated. In addition, the accuracy and quality of wind vectors from wind profiler decrease with increasing beam height. The accuracy and quality of the wind vectors for rainy periods during IOP were higher than for the clear-air measurements. The moderate rainfall intensity lead to multi-peaks in Doppler spectrum. It results in overestimation of vertical air motion, whereas wind vectors from wind profilers shows good agreement with those from radiosonde measurements for light rainfall intensity.
