초록

서울 기상 관측소(서울시 종로구 송월동, $37^{\circ}$34'N, $126^{\circ}$57'E, 이하 송월)의 일 최저기온과 결빙 자료, 그리고 인근인 한강 관측소($37^{\circ}$30'N, $126^{\circ}$57'E, 이하 한강)의 결빙 자료를 사용하여, 1907-2006년(100년) 동안 한국 서울에서의 결빙기후의 장기 변동을 조사하였다. 송월의 결빙은 옥외 노장의 물이 동결하는 현상으로 정의하였고, 이곳에서 6 km 떨어진 한강의 결빙은 한강 대교 남단에서 2번째와 4번째 교각의 상류 100 m 부근이 완전히 얼었을 때로 정의한다. 평균 첫 결빙일은 송월이 10월 28일, 한강이 12월 28일이며, 각각 0.78 days $decade^{-1}$와 3.47 days $decade^{-1}$로 점차 늦어지는 추세를 나타냈다. 평균 연 결빙 일수는 송월이 159.06일, 한강이 50.33일이며, 각각 2.01 days $decade^{-1}$와 5.24 days $decade^{-1}$로 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 특히, 1950년대 후반을 기점으로 변화율이 급변하였는데, 한강에서 100년 동안 발생한 7번의 무결빙해(1960, 1971, 1972, 1978, 1988, 1991, and 2006)도 모두 1950년대 이후에 발생하였다. 송월과 한강에서 첫 결빙일의 일 최저기온은 평균적으로 각각 $0.55^{\circ}C$$-12.22^{\circ}C$이다. 영하의 일 최저기온이 송월은 6.43일, 한강은 8.94일 지속되고 난 뒤 첫 결빙이 발생하였다. 송월과 한강의 연 최저기온에 대해서 첫 결빙일은 양의 상관을 보였고, 결빙 일수는 음의 상관을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 결빙기후의 변화가 기후변화의 일환으로 나타나는 기온변화와 유관함을 보였다. 향후 더 넓은 지역에서 다양한 추가 연구를 실시함으로써, 지속적으로 결빙기후를 주시하고자 한다.

Daily minimum temperature and freezing data of the Seoul weather station ($37^{\circ}$34'N, $126^{\circ}$57'E, Songwol-dong Jongno-gu Seoul, hereinafter Songwol) and freezing data of the Han River station ($37^{\circ}$30'N, $126^{\circ}$57'E, hereinafter Han River) were used to study the long-term variation of the freezing climate for Seoul, Korea, for the period of 100 years from 1907 to 2006. 'Freezing' of Songwol is defined that the water in outdoor fields is frozen, and 'freezing' of the Han River located 6 km away from Songwol is defined as the region 100 meters upstream of the second and fourth piers in the south end of the Han River Bridge is fully frozen. The mean first freezing date for Songwol was October 28, and one for Han River was December 28; these showed a late tendency, with the rate of 0.78 days $decade^{-1}$ and 3.47 days $decade^{-1}$, respectively. The mean annual freezing days was 159.06 days for Songwol and 50.33 days for Han River; each showed a $decade^{-1}$shorter tendency, with rates of 2.01 days $decade^{-1}$ and 5.24 days $decade^{-1}$, respectively. All the seven no-freezing years (1960, 1971, 1972, 1978, 1988, 1991, and 2006) for Han River came after 1950. The mean daily minimum temperatures of the first freezing dates for Songwol and Han River were $0.55^{\circ}C$ and $-12.22^{\circ}C$. The first freezing occurred after 6.43 days for Songwol and after 8.94 days for Han River with daily minimum temperature below $0^{\circ}C$. The annual minimum temperatures of Songwol and Han River exhibited positive correlations with the first freezing date and negative correlations with freezing days. The result shows that the freezing climate change is relevant to temperature change and is a part of overall climate change. By conducting additional studies with various methods and wider region, we will be able to monitor the freezing climate.
