The extraordinary low temperature of summer in South Korea is defined as
the temperatures at which there is a simultaneous occurrence of anomalies in both Seoul and Kwang-Ju with a probability of less than 1% in the daily minimum
temperature data of summer for 21 years (1961~1981).
5 cases of extraordinary low temperature are selected for this study and the
composite charts for surface, 850mb, 700mb, 500mb and the vertical cross sections
are contructed and examined.
The characteristic features associated with the extraordinary low temperature
are; (1) pressure systems are remarkably oriented north-south; (2) center of low
pressure deepens passing the Korean Peninsula, but in East Sea fills rapidly; (3)
the subtropical jet is strongly developed and the trough of the jet wave is located
at the 250mb level over the Central Korea.
