A quasi depth-varying mathematical model for wind-generated circulation in coastal areas, expressed in terms of the depth-averaged horizontal velocity components and free surface elevation was validated and used to understand the diurnal circulation process. The wind velocity is considered as a dominant factor for driving the current. In this paper, three-dimensional numerical experiments that included the land topography were used to investigate the mesoscale air flaw over the coastal regions. The surface temperature of the inland area was determined through a surface heat budget consideration with the inclusion of a layer of vegetation.A series of numerical experiments were then carried out to investigate the diurnal response of the air flaw and wind-generated circulation to various types of surface inhomogeneities.

Three dimensional numerical experiments that included the land-use transformation by the large scale reclamation were used to investigate the mesoscale air flow over the coastal regions. In this paper the surface temperature of the inland was determined through the surface heat budget consideration with inclusion of a layer of vegetation. The vertical diffusion coefficients of momentum, heat and specific humidity in the constant flux layer were taken from the Mellor and Yamada(1975). It has shown that the resulting model is able to reproduce the air circulation in coastal regions, and the simulated characteristics agree with the known properties of this circulation. A series of numerical experiments were then carried out to investigate the diurnal response of the air flow to various types of surface inhomogeneities.

Dispersion characteristics of air pollutants in the mountainous coastal area are investigated in considering with the mesoscale local circulations using a two dimensional numerical model with two kinds of topograpy of 500m and 300m. In the model, land-sea breezes and mountain-valley wind are mainly considered under the condition of the absence of large scale prevailing flow in the circulation analysis, and the pollutants dispersion is traced by the Lagrangian methods. According to the results, the wind velocity is affected by topography and is stronger in the case of 500m height mountain than that of 300m, the Pollutants that source is near the coast transported over the mountain and dispersed to behind inland area. It is classified that the topography change control affects the wind velocity and the circulations. The pollutants that source is different transported and concentrated to behind inland and/or diffused to the sea area by the combination of the wind system with topographic changes. The results can be applied to the air pollution control with the arrangement design of industrial area and the planning of coastal developments.

Mesoscale low is often observed over the downstream region of the East Sea (or, northwest coast off the Japan Islands) during East-Asia winter monsoon. The low system causes a heavy snowfall at the region. A series of numerical experiments were conducted with the aid of a regional model (MM5 ver. 3.5) to examine the formation mechanism of the mesoscale low. The following results were obtained: 1) A well-developed mesoscale low was simulated by the regional model under real topography, NCEP reanalysis, and OISST; 2) The mesoscale low was simulated under a zonally averaged SST without topography. This implies that the meridional gradient of SST is the main factor in the formation of a mesoscale low; 3) A thermal contrast ($>10^{\circ}C$) of land-sea and topography-induced disturbance served as the second important factor for the formation; 4) Paektu Mountain caused the surface wind to decelerate downstream, which created a more favorable environment for thermodynamic modification than that was found in a flat topography; and 5) The types of cumulus parameterizations did not affect the development of the mesoscale low.

얼음골 주변의 지표면 변화에 따른 중규모 대기순환장에 미치는 효과를 보기위하여 수치실험을 실시하였다. 얼음골 남북 경사면에서 발생하는 순환장은 지형과 단파복사에 의한 영향으로 다르게 나타나며, 비대칭을 이룬다. 그리고 이러한 비대칭은 18시까지 계속된다. 야간의 경우, 도로건설에 따른 대기순환장의 차이는 크지 않다. 이것은 주간 단파 복사에 의한 현열플럭스가 감소하며, 현열플럭스외의 다른 요소는 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 의미한다. 도로의 건설은 현열플러스의 증가와 관련되고, 주간의 경우, 지형에 의한 곡풍과 결합하여 도로가 없는 경우에 비하여 상승류가 강하여진다. 최대풍속은 4.67 m/s이다. 그리고 이때 도로의 위치역시 주요한 요인으로 작용한다.

The heavy snowfall event over the eastern part of Seoul, Korea on Mar. 04, 2008 has been abruptly occurred after the frontal system with the heavy snowfall event had been past over the Korean peninsula on Mar. 03, 2008. Therefore, this heavy snowfall event couldn't be predicted well by any means of theoretical knowledges and models. After the cold front passed by, the cold air mass was flown over the peninsula immediately and became clear expectedly except the eastern part and southwestern part of peninsula with some large amount of snowfall. Even though the wide and intense massive cold anticyclone was expanded and enhanced by the lowest tropospheric baroclinicity over the Yellow Sea, but the intrusion and eastward movement of cold air to Seoul was too slow than normally predicted. Using the data of numerical model, satellite and radar images, three dimensional analysis Products(KLAPS : Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) of the environmental conditions of this event such as temperature, equivalent potential temperature, wind, vertical circulation, divergence, moisture flux divergence and relative vorticity could be analyzed precisely. Through the analysis of this event, the formation and westward advection of lower cyclonic circulation with continuously horizontal movement of air into the eastern part of Seoul by the analyses of KLAPS fields have been affected by occurring the heavy snowfall event. As the predictability of abrupt snowfall event was very hard and dependent on not only the synoptic atmospheric circulation but also for mesoscale atmospheric circulation, the forecaster can be predicted well this event which may be occurred and developed within the very short time period using sequential satellite images and KLAPS products.

호수에 의한 국지 순환의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 대청호수 주변에 대하여 수치 실험을 수행하고 국지 순환의 형태를 연구하였다. WRF 모델로부터 예보된 지상 기온은 관측보다 작으며, 풍속은 모델에서 관측보다 강하게 모의됨을 보였다. 호수 주변의 국지 순환은 호수와 주변 지면과의 열적 차이에 의해 발생하는 호수풍이 특징적이었다. 대청호수에서는 호수풍이 09 LST에 발생하며, 15 LST에 최대를 보이고 18 LST에 소멸하였다. 수치 모의된 연직 순환의 높이는 1,200m를 나타냈다. 비습의 분포는 낮 시간동안 호수풍 순환에 의해 호수위의 습윤한 공기의 내륙 이동으로 주위 지면에서 증가함을 보였다. 호수를 제거한 민감도 실험에서 호수가 존재할 때 주위 지면 온도가 감소함을 보였다. 호수 지표이용도를 초원으로 변경하였을 때 호수 주변의 기상관측소에서 풍속은 증가하였다. 수치실험은 호수로부터 발생된 호수풍 순환이 주위 대기경계층 기상에 영향을 주고 있음을 지시한다.

We describe here the Korea ocean prediction system that closely resembles operational numerical weather prediction systems. This prediction system will be served for real-time forecasts. The core of the system is a three-dimensional primitive equation numerical circulation model, based on ${\sigma}$-coordinate. Remotely sensed multi-channel sea surface temperature (MCSST) is imposed at the surface. Residual subsurface temperature is assimilated through the relationship between vertical temperature structure function and residual of sea surface height (RSSH) using an optimal interpolation scheme. A unified grid system, named as [K-E-Y], that covers the entire seas around Korea is used. We present and compare hindcasting results during 1990-1999 from a model forced by MCSST without incorporating RSSH data assimilation and the one with both MCSST and RSSH assimilated. The data assimilation is applied only in the East Sea, hence the comparison focuses principally on the mesoscale features prevalent in the East Sea. It is shown that the model with the data assimilation exhibits considerable skill in simulating both the permanent and transient mesoscale features in the East Sea.

Sea/land circulation system is a representative mesoscale local circulation system in coastal area. In this study, wind fields around coastal area. Pohang, which is affected by this system was investigated and its detailed characteristic analysis was carried out. The following can be found out from the numerical simulation. Generally, at nighttime mountain winds prevail and land breeze toward the coastal area was well simulated During daytime, valley wind and sea breeze was simulated in detail. Especially, as a result of analyzing the land breeze path, it could be found along the coastline as it flows out through low land coastal area. In order to investigate the accuracy of model results. wind speed, temperature and wind direction of continuous typical sea/land breeze occurrence day was compared with observation data. Analyzing the characteristics of local circulation system was very hard because of horizontally sparse observation data but from the above result, a numerical simulation using RAMS, which satisfies the spatial high resolution, will provide more accurate results.
