Abstract

The quality of the radar and profiler network was estimated to forecast difficult meteorological situations. A network of UHF Doppler wind profilers and Doppler weather radars have been deployed all over the Korean Peninsular, with dense spatial resolution between instruments. The radar network allows to retrieve the three dimensional dynamics and to analyze the numerical model outputs at small and meso scales. This work has seldom been performed in any other place of the world, with such a high resolution. The wind field from radar network is a good agreement with the background wind fields based on the numerical modeling. This study will be helpful to forecast severe weathers as well as local meteorological phenomena.

복잡한 기상을 예측하기 위해 레이더와 윈드프로파일러 네트워크의 품질을 평가하였다. 한반도 전역에 걸쳐 배치되어 있는 UHF 도플러 윈드프로파일러와 도플러 기상 레이더는 조밀한 공간 해상도의 관측망을 형성한다. 레이더 네트워크는 3차원 역학 자료를 도출하고, 작은 규모와 중간 규모의 수치 모델 출력 자료를 분석할 수 있다. 이러한 고해상도의 관측 연구는 세계 어느 곳에서도 수행되지 않았다. 관측망 분석 결과는 수치 모델링에 근거한 배경 바람장과 일치하였다. 본 연구는 국지 기상뿐만 아니라 악기상 예측에 도움이 될 것이다.
