In order to monitor the impact of high temperature which is seen frequently with climate change, we investigated the monthly change in globe temperature, air temperature, mean radiant temperature and effective radiant heat flow, because the four well reflect thermal radiation from bio-meteorological aspect. Both globe temperature and air temperature showed an increasing trend every month. Compared to air temperature, globe temperature had a wider range of temperature change and was more influenced by meteorological element such as precipitation. Diurnal trends of air temperature, globe temperature and the difference between their temperature had the lowest value before the sunrise and the highest around $1300{\sim}1500$ LST, showing the typical diurnal trends. Globe temperature and the difference between their temperature had a sharp increase around $1000{\sim}1100$ LST, maintained high value until 1700 LST and then reclined, though varied by month. The difference between globe temperature and air temperature was highly dependent on the amount of precipitation and clouds. The duration in which globe temperature was higher than air temperature was the lowest in July. Therefore the amount of precipitation was the most affecting, followed by the amount of clouds and wind. In order to find out the diurnal trends of temperature in city center and city outskirts, we assumed the roof of a concrete build ing as a city center, and the grass-covered observatory of the Gimhae International Airport as city outskirts. The diurnal trends of temperature in the two sites showed a strong correlation. The highest and lowest temperature also had the same trend.

Characteristics of seasonal mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) and their causes over South Korea are investigated using the 60 stations data of Korea Meteorological Administration from 1976 to 2005. In general, the seasonal mean DTR is greatest during spring (in inland area) and least during summer (urban and coastal area). The spatial and seasonal variations of DTR are closely linked with the land surface conditions (especially vegetation activity and soil moisture) and atmospheric conditions (cloud amount, precipitation, local circulation). The seasonal mean DTR shows a decreasing trend at the major urban areas and at the north-eastern part of South Korea. Whereas, it shows an increasing trend at the central area of the southern part. Decreasing and increasing trends of DTR are more significant during summer and fall, and during spring and winter. The decrease (increase) of DTR is mainly caused by the stronger increase of daily minimum (maximum) temperature than daily maximum (minimum) temperature. The negative effects of precipitation and cloud amount on the DTR are greater during spring and at the inland area than during winter and at the coastal area. And the effect of daytime precipitation on the DTR is greater than that of nighttime precipitation.

Trends of daily maximum and minimum temperatures in major cities of South Korea (Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, and Ulsan) during the past 40 years (1961-2000) were investigated. Temperature records for the Chupungryeong station were compared with those of the large cities because of the rural environment of the station. There were distinct warming trends at all stations, although the warming rates depend on each station's local climate and environment. The warming rates in Korea are much greater than the global warming trends, by a factor of 3 to 4. The most increasing rate in daily maximum temperature was at Busan with $0.43^{\circ}C$ per decade, the most increasing rate in daily minimum temperature was at Daegu with $0.44^{\circ}C$ per decade. In general, the warming trends of the cities were most pronounced in winter season with an increasing rate of $0.5^{\circ}C$/decade at least. Diurnal temperature range shows positive or negative trends according to the regional climate and environmental change. The frequency distribution of the daily temperatures for the past 40 years at Seoul and Chupungryeong shows that there have been reductions in cold day frequencies at both stations. The results imply that the impacts on human health might be positive in winter and adverse in summer if the regional warming scenario by the current regional climate model reflects future climate change in Korea.

This paper provides a long-term perspective for ozone concentrations at 20 national air quality monitoring sites in Seoul from 1989 to 1998, which were managed by the Korean Ministry of Environment. Ozone episodes occurred more frequently in the east areas (Bangi, Guui, Seongsu, and Ssangmun) than in the west area (Guro and Oryu). When an ozone episode happened, hourly ozone concentrations over 80 ppb continued for an average of 4.0 hours at all sites. Annual variations in daily mean and maximum oBone concentrations showed broadly consistent upward trends at Ssangmun and Gwanaksan. Monthly mean ozone concentrations were the highest from May to June and the 99$^{th}$ and 95$^{th}$ percentile levels appeared higher during June, July, and August. The diurnal patterns of hourly mean ozone levels in urban areas showed typical photochemical formation and destruction, while the flat diurnal shape before 1996 at Gwanaksan indicated few significant photochemical reactions due to a lack of precursors of ozone. The occurrence of ozone over 80 ppb was ascribed to meteorological conditions such as high temperature, strong solar radiation, low relative humidity, and low wind speed with winds most frequently in a westerly direction.

Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollinosis is the most popular pollinosis in Japan. It has been reported that Cryptomeria japonica pollen allergenic species are suspended as fine particles in the urban atmosphere. These allergenic fine particles are responsible for inducing asthma by breaking into the lower respiratory tract. It has also been found that pollinosis symptoms on the sufferers appear mainly at night-time by the results from epidemiological studies. However, the exact reason for these phenomena is not yet clarified. In this study, the diurnal and nocturnal behaviours of Cryptomeria japonica pollen grains and their allergenic species in the urban area of Saitama city of Kanto Plain were investigated. Airborne pollen grains and allergenic Cry j 1 concentrations in total suspended particulate matter (TSP) were investigated at two sampling sites, a heavy traffic road (roadside site) and at the balcony of the $10^{th}$ floor of the Building of Research and Project of Saitama University (general urban site). The latter sampling site where located about 300 m away from the roadside site was used as a general urban site unaffected by automobile traffic. The airborne pollen counts were measured with a real-time pollen monitor. Cry j 1 particles were collected with two high volume air samplers, and these concentrations were measured by surface plasmon resonance method with a Biacore J system. The diurnal variation of the airborne pollen counts was similar to the trends of temperature and wind speed during the day-time; whereas its tendency with wind speed trend was not observed during the night-time. Airborne pollen counts were lower with northern wind than with southern wind because the pollen comes from the mountainous areas, and the mountains in the south are closer, about half the distance to the northern mountains. It is suggested that the peaks of airborne pollen counts during night-time in the sampling site occurred by transport of pollen grains released during day-time in the mountainous forest areas, located c.a. 100 km away from the sampling site. On the roadside site the allergenic Cry j 1 concentrations were higher than at the general urban site, nevertheless pollen grains counts were lower. These results suggested that worsening of pollinosis symptoms during night-time in urban area was caused by transport of pollen grains during day-time in the mountainous forest areas. Moreover, pollen allergenic species become different morphology from pollen grain at roadside site, and the subsequent pollen grains re-suspension by automobile traffic.

One of the most obvious climatic manifestations of urbanization in Korea is a trend towards higher air temperature. The trends of long-term annual temperature generally well describe the warming of urban areas. The increase of air temperature in urban area has been observed to the present since the meteorological observations in Korea began. The objective of this study is to explore the actual increase and the regional long-term trends of air temperature attributed to urbanization in the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, temperatures of the selected urban areas were compared with that of the surrounding rural areas, with the results varying by the application of the estimates of each region. The second objective is to separate the long-term trend of surface air temperature of global warming from urbanization and to find the actual temperature increase from urbanization in Korean peninsula. For the data analysis, daily air temperatures observed by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) during between from 1961 and 2005 were used at five rural sites and cities. The re-analyzed surface air temperatures by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) was also carried out to compare the result from the observed air temperature in the Korean climate domain. In this study, the urban areas in Korea showed high increase rate of air temperature with $0.4^{\circ}C$ per decade during past 50 year period, while rural sites as Chupungryung with the $0.2^{\circ}C$ decadal increase rate. The analyses reflect that the urban area shows the high rate of temperature increase with $1.39^{\circ}C$ of regression value at the urban area, Seoul, and $0.43^{\circ}C$ at the rural site, Chupungnyeong during the period of 30 years. The temperature increas due to the urbanization only showed the increase range between $0.44^{\circ}C$ and $0.86^{\circ}C$, and the observed decrease in diurnal temperature range at five urban areas during the 30 years period.

Spatial-temporal meteorological features of the Ulsan metropolitan region (UMR) were analyzed using observations and high-resolution numerical modeling. Long-term trend analysis (1970~2013) showed a significant increase of $0.033^{\circ}Cyr^{-1}$ in the 5-year moving average temperature, although detailed short-term features varied, whereas wind speed and relative humidity over the same period displayed clear decreases of $-0.007ms^{-1}$ and $-0.29%yr^{-1}$, respectively. These trends indicate the effects of regional climate change and urbanization in the UMR. Seasonal variations averaged for the most recent three years, 2011~2013, showed that temperatures in three different regions (urban/industrial, suburban, coastal areas) of the UMR had similar seasonality, but significant differences among them were observed for a certain season. Urban and industrial complex regions were characterized by relatively higher temperatures with large differences (max.: $3.6^{\circ}C$) from that in the coastal area in summer. For wind speed, strong values in the range from 3.3 to $3.9ms^{-1}$ occurred in the coastal areas, with large differences clearly shown between the three regions in September and October. Diurnal variations of temperature were characterized by pronounced differences during the daytime (in summer) or nighttime (in winter) between the three regions. Results from the WRF modeling performed for four months of 2012 showed large variations in gridaverage temperature and winds in the UMR, which displayed significant changes by season. Especially, a clear temperature rise in the urban center was identified in July ($0.6^{\circ}C$ higher than nearby urban areas), and overall, relatively weak winds were simulated over urban and inland suburban regions in all seasons.

농업은 인간의 활동 중 기상 활동에 가장 종속적이며, 기후 변화 및 기상 재해와 같은 대기 변동성의 증가 속에서 농업기상서비스의 중요성은 점점 증가하고 있다. 유용한 농업기상서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 관측 자료의 품질 관리와 더불어 실제 농경 활동 현장을 대표할 수 있는 곳에서의 기상 관측이 필수적이다. 이를 위해 기상청에서는 자동농업기상관측망(AAOS)을 실제 농경지 근처로 재배치하는 등 관측망 환경을 개선하고 있지만, 아직까지 모든 농업기상관측이 실제영농 환경이 아닌 잔디밭에서 이루어지고 있는 문제가 남아 있다. 기온, 상대 습도, 토양 온도, 토양 수분 관측요소는 지표면의 식생 형태와 관개 등의 영농 활동에 큰 영향을 받는데, 현재의 농업기상관측은 이러한 요소들의 영향을 관측하는데 근본적인 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 AAOS 관측 자료의 시간적, 연직적 변이를 분석하고, 실제 농경지 위에 설치된 국가농림기상센터(NCAM) 타워에서 관측하고 있는 공통 기상 및 토양 관측 요소를 비교하여, AAOS 관측 자료의 특성 및 문제점을 분석하였다. 분석 시기는 결측이 가장 적고 추수 이전인 8월과 추수 이후인 10월로 선정하였다. 각 관측 요소별로 관측 높이 및 깊이에 차이가 있었으므로, 차이가 가장 적은 높이 또는 깊이 값을 비교대상으로 선정하였다. 기온의 경우 AAOS 4 m 관측 값이 NCAM타워 관측 값이 비해 낮과 밤 또는 추수이전과 이후 모두 낮았으며, 큰 일중 변화 없이 일정한 차이를 유지하였다. 수증기압 역시 NCAM 관측 값이 AAOS 관측 값에 비해 항상 높았으며, 8월이 10월에 비해 더 큰 차이를 보였다. AAOS 순단파복사의 경우 AAOS 관측 반사복사량이 NCAM 관측 값에 비해 높은 경향을 보였다. 한편, 토양 관측 요소는 대기 관측요소에 비해 더 큰 차이를 보였다. 추수 이전인 8월에는 대부분 논에 물이 차 있었으며, 그로 인해 NCAM 관측 토양 온도가 AAOS 관측 토양 온도에 비해 낮았으며, 일 변화 폭 역시 작았다. NCAM 관측 토양 수분은 강수 여부와 관계 없이 지속적으로 포화상태를 유지하는 반면, AAOS 관측 토양 수분은 강수에 의해 증가한 뒤 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 추수 이후인 10월에는 8월과 다른 경향을 보였다. 토양 온도의 경우, NCAM 관측 값과 AAOS 관측 값의 일 평균값은 비슷하였으나 일 변화 폭은 NCAM 관측 값이 더 컸다. 토양 수분은 NCAM 관측 값이 지속적으로 높았으나, 두 관측 값 모두 강수에 의해 상승하고 증발 또는 배수에 의해 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과는 AAOS 관측 자료의 품질 관리 문제와 함께 논과 잔디밭이라는 지표면 피복 및 영농 활동의 영향을 반영하지 못하는 대표성 문제를 보여주는 것으로서, 본 연구는 2011년 이후 이루어지고 있는 기상청 농업기상관측장비의 농지 부근 이동 작업에 이은 후속 조치로, 농업기상 관측을 대표할 수 있도록 잔디밭이 아닌 논, 밭, 과수원 등 실제 지역 대표 농업 현장에 설치되어야 함을 제언한다.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 heat pulse법(法)을 이용하여 낙엽송 임분(林分)의 증산량(蒸散量)을 알기 위한 기초 연구로써, 일사량(日射量), 온도(溫度), 습도(濕度) 등의 변화에 따른 heat pulse 속도(速度)의 일변화와 계절변화, 방위별 heat pulse 속도(速度)의 차이, 변재부(邊材部)에 있어서 깊이별 heat pulse 속도(速度)의 차이, 우세목(優勢木), 준우세목(準優勢木), 열세목(劣勢木)의 heat pulse 속도(速度)의 차이, 엽(葉)의 수분(水分)포텐셜과 heat pulse 속도(速度)와의 관계, 줄기에 있어 수분상승의 방향, heat pulse법(法)으로 추산한 임분(林分)의 증산량(蒸散量)등에 대하여 측정 고찰하였다. 얻어진 결과를 요약하연 다음과 같다. 1 낙엽송의 heat pulse 속도(速度)(V)와 수액유속(樹液流速)(SFR)과의 관계는 SFR=1.37V($r=0.96^{**}$)의 식으로 나타냈다. 2. 우세목(優勢木), 준우세목(準優勢木), 열세목(劣勢木)의 heat pulse 속도(速度)를 비교하면, 수액유속(樹液流速)은 우세목(優勢木)이 가장 높고, 준우세목(準優勢木), 열세목(劣勢木) 순위였다. Heat pulse 속도(速度)는 일사량(日射量), 온도(溫度), 대기포차(大氣飽差) 등의 크기에 따라 심한 변화(變化)를 나타냈다. 3. 입목(立木) 개체간(個體間)의 heat pulse 속도(速度)의 차이는 이른 아침과 밤에는 거의 없으나, 일사량(日射量)이 높은 12시부터 16시 사이에는 약간의 차이를 나타냈다. 4. Heat pulse 속도(速度)와 수분(水分)포텐셜은 거의 비슷한 일변화 경향을 나타냈다. 5. Heat pulse 속도(速度)의 계절변화는 8월에 가장 높았고, 10월이 가장 낮았다. 그리고 6, 7, 9월의 heat pulse 속도(速度)는 거의 비슷한 값을 나타냈다. 6. 줄기에 있어 방위별 heat pulse 속도(速度)는 동측이 가장 높았고, 서측과 북측은 비슷한 속도를 나타냈으며, 남측의 속도가 가장 낮았다. 7. 변재부(邊材部)에 있어서 깊이별 heat pulse 속도(速度)의 차이는 수피(樹皮)로부터 2cm 깊이에서 가장 높고, 다음이 1cm 깊이, 그리고 3cm 깊이에서 가장 낮았다. 8. 줄기에 있어 수분이동방향(水分移動方向)은 5본 모두 오른쪽 나선상승(螺旋上昇)(spiral ascent turning right)을 나타내고 있었다. 특히 지상의 3m까지는 매우 느린 회선(回旋)을 나타내다가 그 이상의 수고(樹高)에서는 매우 빠른 회선(回旋)으로 상승됨을 알 수 있었다. 9. 수액유량(樹液流量)(SF)은 SF=1.37AV 식(式)으로 나타났고, 이 식으로 구한 수액유량(樹液流量)은 우세목(優勢木)이 준우세목(準優勢木)과 열세목(劣勢木)보다 현저히 높았다. 10. 1ha의 임분(林分)에 대한 1일의 증산량(蒸散量)의 구성비율(構成比率)은 낮이 83%, 밤이 17%였고, 증산량(蒸散量)은 약 30.8ton/ha/day이었다. 11. 1ha의 월별(月別) 증산량(蒸散量)은 8월이 1,194ton/ha/month로 가장 많았고, 5월이 386ton/ha/month로 가장 낮았다. 또 1ha의 연간(年間) 증산량(蒸散量)은 3,983ton/ha/yr이었다.
