Variation of tracer distribution during the vortex-breakup period in the Antarctic region was observed by the data from the Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS) and ILAS-II. All four trace species including methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and water vapor show similar patterns of vertical gradient in spite of different structures of zonal mean mixing ratio. Timings of vortex breakup on each level are estimated by two different methods, and they are compared with zonal standard deviations following the latitude circle of each trace species. Although the tracers have different chemical life times and sink/source, the zonal standard deviation patterns show remarkable similarities. The zonal standard deviation shown here to measure the zonal asymmetry of tracer distribution is believed to diagnose the timing of the Antarctic polar-vortex breakup reasonably well.

This study investigates eddy transports in terms of space and time for momentum, heat, and moisture, emphasizing comparison of the results in three reanalysis data sets including ERA-Interim from the European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), NCEP2 from the National Center for Environmental Prediction and the Department of Energy (NCEP-DOE), and JRA-55 from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) during boreal winter. The magnitudes for eddy transports of momentum in ERA-Interim are represented as the strongest value in comparison of three data sets, which may be mainly come from that both zonal averaged meridional and zonal wind tend to follow the hierarchy of ERA-Interim, NCEP2, and JRA-55. Whereas in relation to heat and moisture eddy transports, those of NCEP2 are the strongest, implying that zonal averaged air temperature (specific humidity) tend to follow the raking of NCEP2, ERA-Interim, and JRA-55 (NCEP2, JRA-55, and ERA-Interim), except that transient eddy transports for heat in ERA-Interim are the strongest involving both meridional wind and air temperature. The stationary and transient eddy transports in the context of space and time correlation, and intensity of standard deviation demonstrate that the correlation (intensity of standard deviation) influence the structure (magnitude) of eddy transports. The similarity between ERA-Interim and NCEP2 (ERA-Interim and JRA-55) of space correlation (time correlation) closely resembles among three data sets. A resemblance among reanalysis data sets of space correlation is larger than that of time correlation.

In this study, we estimate the interannual spatial and temporal distributions of fishing grounds at night in the East Sea based on satellite and in-situ data. We observe that the $15^{\circ}C$ thermal front moves in the north-south direction according to the movement of the warm water (above $18^{\circ}C$) in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) area, forcing the cold water area (below $10^{\circ}C$) to either expand or shrink. The interannual variations of sea surface temperature (SST) in winter represented by the indicator SST of $6^{\circ}C$ are consistent with the east-west zonal areas in the central East Sea which represented over $1^{\circ}C$ standard deviation of SST in February during 1990-2000. Annual SST in the fishing grounds of common squid fishing vessels, observed both by fishing vessels and satellites range from 9-$22^{\circ}C$, with the satellite-observed data having a larger range than the fishing vessel-based ones. The interannual distributions of the common squid fishing grounds in the East Sea are mostly concentrated in the TWC area in the southwestern part of the East Sea and in the coast of southern Honshu and Hokkaido in Japan. The interannual distributions of the nighttime fishing vessels are consistent with the catches investigated from the fishing vessel.

고해상도 전자기후도 기반의 농가맞춤 조기경보서비스를 구현하기 위해서는 실측기상자료가 없는 곳의 평년기후를 복원해야 한다. 일별 기상자료 복원에 드는 시간과 노력을 절약하기 위해 간이산출방식이 널리 사용되어 왔는데, 본 연구에서는 이렇게 간소화된 방식을 통해 제작된 평년 기후값이 어느 정도의 오차를 수반하는지를 분석하기 위하여, 평년기간(1981-2010)에 대한 일별 기상 값을 모두 복원하고, 이를 '시간적', '공간적' 간소화를 진행한 평년기후값과의 비교를 통해 기상위험의 예측 결과의 차이에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 여러 재해관련 지수 중에서 많은 종류의 기상자료를 필요로 하는 농업가뭄지수를 이용하였으며, 섬진강 유역 일대의 10개 시군을 선정하였다. '시간'규모를 간소화한 평년 값은 30개년(1981-2010)에 대해 일별로 평균한 값을 이용하여 고해상도 분포를 제작하였으며, '공간'규모를 간소화 평년 값은 실험지역에 대하여 집수역 단위로 제작한 평년 값을 이용하였다. 먼저 '잔여수분지수'의 경우 '시간'규모 간소화 평년 값의 경우 과대 추정되었으며, '공간'규모 간소화 평년 값의 경우 과소 추정되는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 2017년 1월부터 7월까지의 가뭄지수를 제작한 결과, 평년 자료 별로 가뭄의 정도를 모의한 결과에 차이가 있었으며, 지역적인 편차 또한 확인 되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 '간소화'된 제작방식을 통한 평년 기후 값이, 이를 이용해 재해위험을 산출한 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다.
