Abstract

The effects of vertical resolutions and planetary boundary layer (PBL) physics schemes in a numerical simulation with a very high resolution over the metropolitan area were investigated. The numerical experiments using the Weather Research and Forecast model were conducted from 0000 UTC 25 October to 0000 UTC 26 October 2013. We verified the numerical results against with six hourly observation data from the radiosonde at Seolleung, which was located in southern part of Seoul, and forty three auto weather systems in Seoul. In the experiments of vertical resolutions in low level atmosphere with 44, 50, and 60 layers, which are set to be subdivided particularly under 2 km height. The experiment in 60 layers, which has the highest vertical resolution in this study, showed relatively a clear diurnal variation of PBL heights. Especially, the difference of PBL heights and 10-meter wind fields were mainly seen in the area of high altitude lands for the experiments of vertical resolution. In the sensitivity experiment of PBL schemes such as asymmetric convective model-version 2 (ACM2), Yonsei University (YSU), and Mellow-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) to the temperature, all three PBL schemes revealed lower temperature than observed profile from the radiosonde in the entire period. The experiments with YSU PBL and ACM2 PBL schemes show relatively less biased in comparison with the experiment of the MYJ PBL scheme.

수도권 지역의 고해상도 수치실험에 있어 연직 해상도와 대기경계층 모수화 방안의 효과를 조사하였다. WRF 모델을 이용하여 2013년 10월 25일 0000 UTC 부터 10월 26일 0000 UTC까지 수치 적분을 수행하였다. 수치 결과는 서울 남부에 위치한 선릉지역에서 관측된 6시간 간격의 라디오존데 자료와 서울지역의 43개 자동 기상 관측소 자료를 이용하여 검증하였다. 대기 하층의 연직해상도 비교 실험은 연직 44, 50, 60개의 층으로 구성되었으며, 특히 약 2 km고도 이하의 층을 세분화하였다. 연직 해상도가 가장 높은 60개층 실험에서 대기경계층 고도의 일 변동이 가장 뚜렷하게 나타났고, 특히 산악 지형과 같은 고지대에서는 대기경계층 고도와 10 m 바람장에서 연직해상도 실험 별 차이가 크게 나타났다. WRF 모델 내 ACM2, YSU, MYJ 대기경계층 모수화 방안에 따른 온도의 민감도 실험에서는 모든 실험수행 시간대에서 수치 모델 결과가 라디오존데 관측에 비교하여 온도를 과소 모의하였다. 지상 온도는 YSU 방안과 ACM2 방안이 MYJ 방안에 비해 상대적으로 편차가 낮게 나타났다.
