Abstract

Satellite-retrieved data on Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and ${\AA}$ngstr$\ddot{o}$m exponent (AE) using a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) were used to analyze large-scale distributions of atmospheric aerosols in East Asia. AOD was relatively high in March ($0.44{\pm}0.25$) and low in September ($0.24{\pm}0.21$) in the East Asian region in 2009. Sandstorms originating from the deserts and dry areas in Northern China and Mongolia were transported on a massive scale during the springtime, thus contributing to the high AOD in East Asia. Although $PM_{10}$ with diameters ${\leq}10{\mu}m$ was the highest in February at Anmyon, Cheongwon and Ulleung, which is located leeward about half-way through the Korean Peninsula, AOD rose to a high in May. The growth of hygroscopic aerosols moving with increases in relative humidity prior to the Asian monsoon season contributed to a high AOD level in May. AE typically reaches its highest value ($1.30{\pm}0.37$) in August due to anthropogenic aerosols originating from industrial areas in Eastern China, while AOD stays low in summer due to the removal process caused by rainfall. The linear correlation coefficients of the MODIS AOD and ground-based mass concentrations of $PM_{10}$ at Anmyon, Cheongwon and Ulleung were 0.4-0.6. Four cases (six days) of mineral dustfall from sandstorms and six cases (twelve days) of anthropogenically polluted particles were observed in the central area of the Korean Peninsula in 2009. $PM_{10}$ mass concentrations increased at both Anmyon and Cheongwon in the cases of mineral dustfall and anthropogenically polluted particles. Cases of dustfall from sandstorms and anthropogenic polluted particles, with increasing $PM_{10}$ mass concentrations, exhibited higher AOD values in the Yellow Sea region.

동아시아에서 대기 에어로졸의 광역적 분포를 분석하기 위해 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) 센서에서 산출된 AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth)와 AE (${\AA}$ngstr$\ddot{o}$m Exponent)를 이용하였다. 2009년 동아시아 지역에서 AOD는 3월($0.44{\pm}0.25$)에 높았고, 9월($0.24{\pm}0.21$)에 낮았다. 봄에는 중국 북부와 몽골의 사막, 건조지역에서 발생한 모래폭풍이 광역적으로 이동하여 동아시아의 AOD에 기여하고 있다. 그러나 동아시아의 풍하측에 위치한 한반도 중부의 안면도, 청원, 울릉도에서 $PM_{10}$ ($d{\leq}10{\mu}m$) 질량 농도는 2월에 최고를 보인 반면, AOD는 5월에 가장 높았다. 장마 전 상대습도의 증가에 따른 흡습성 에어로졸의 성장이 5월의 높은 AOD에 기여하고 있다. 여름(8월)에는 북태평양으로부터 해양성 기류와 잦은 강수에 의한 습윤 침전으로 AOD는 낮지만 중국 동부의 산업지역에서 광역적으로 발생한 미세 에어로졸로 인해 AE ($1.30{\pm}0.37$)가 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 안면도, 청원, 울릉도에서 MODIS AOD와 지상 $PM_{10}$ 질량 농도의 상관계수는 0.4-0.6이었다. 2009년 한반도 중부에서 관측한 황사 사례는 4회(6일)였고, 인위적 대기오염 이동 사례는 6회(12일)였다. 황사 사례와 인위적 대기오염의 이동 사례에서 안면도와 청원의 $PM_{10}$ 농도가 모두 증가하였다. 황사와 인위적 대기오염 이동으로 $PM_{10}$이 증가하는 영역에서 AOD가 높게 나타나고 있다.
