Return of Sungnyemun the No
Korean Reunification 3p Tyranny of Superior 2p vol.17 June, 2013 Antiquaire English News Paper 1 Return of Sungnyemun The No. 1 national treasure of Korea, Sungnyemun had finished its restoration and reopened in May 4, 2013. The restoration work started in February 2008 and completed in April 2013. It took almost 5 years since Sungnyemun was burned. Do you know about the national treasures? The Korean government first named 116 items as the national treasures and gave them numbers in 1962. Currently, there are 315 national treasures. The No. 1 national treasure of Korea is Sungnyemun. It is also called as Namdaemun because it is located in the south of Seoul. But I think I have to use the word ‘was’ instead of ‘is’. Have you ever been to Sungnyemun? Sungnyemun was one of the gates in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, South Korea. The gateway of it which was pagoda-styled was located between Seoul Station and Seoul City Plaza. It was one of the three major gateways of Seoul city wall which is a stone circuit of 18.2 km long and 6.1 m high. Sungnyemun construction was first started by King Taejo of Joseon in 1398, and was rebuilt in 1447 during the year of King Politics Sejong the Great. But the wooden pagoda atop the gate was severely damaged by the arson in 2008 when an old Park Geun-Hye visits U.S. man set a fire on it due to a grudge against the government. Restoration work on Sungnyemun started in February 2010 and was completed in 29 April 2013. -
Economic Value of Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts at Incheon Airport, South Korea
sustainability Article Economic Value of Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts at Incheon Airport, South Korea In-Gyum Kim 1,* , Hye-Min Kim 1, Dae-Geun Lee 1, Byunghwan Lim 1 and Hee-Choon Lee 2 1 Planning and Finance Division, National Institute of Meteorological Sciences, Seogwipo-si 63568, Korea; [email protected] (H.-M.K.); [email protected] (D.-G.L.); [email protected] (B.L.) 2 Earthquake and Volcano Policy Division, Korea Meteorological Administration, Seoul 07062, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Meteorological information at an arrival airport is one of the primary variables used to determine refueling of discretionary fuel. This study evaluated the economic value of terminal aerodrome forecasts (TAF), which has not been previously quantitatively analyzed in Korea. The analysis data included 374,716 international flights that arrived at Incheon airport during 2017–2019. A cost–loss model was used for the analysis, which is a methodology to evaluate forecast value by considering the cost and loss that users can expect, considering the decision-making result based on forecast utilization. The value was divided in terms of improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. The results of the analysis indicate that the annual average TAF value for Incheon Airport was approximately 2.2 M–20.1 M USD under two hypothetical rules of refueling of discretionary fuel. This value is up to 26.2% higher than the total budget of 16.3 M USD set for the production of aviation meteorological forecasts by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). Further, it is Citation: Kim, I.-G.; Kim, H.-M.; up to 10 times greater than the 2 M USD spent on aviation meteorological information fees collected Lee, D.-G.; Lim, B.; Lee, H.-C. -

Joongang Daily Newspaper, November 6, 2013 South Koreans to “Study Abroad” in South Korea
Joongang Daily Newspaper, November 6, 2013 South Koreans to “Study Abroad” in South Korea Hot potato, Pie in the sky, Sour grapes.... International school is the place that can be explained with these clichés. The establishment of Chadwick International in Songdo in 2010, the first foreign educational institution in the metropolitan area, and the subsequent foundation of NLCS Jeju, KIS Jeju, and BHA in Jeju English Education City in 2011 and 2012 caused international schools to become “hot potatoes”, drawing attention and raising controversies among people. These schools were opened to replace the demand for studying abroad, but they were just 'pies in the sky' for most parents due to their expensive tuition and constraints due to their location, and ‘sour grapes’ for many Gangnam mothers as entering kids on those schools without any proof made them feel nervous. I glimpsed over on international schools. What I had gained and lost in Songdo or in Jeju International school is a place where parents can educate their children with the U.S. private school or the U.K. public school system in Korea without sending their kids abroad. All Korean students are allowed to study in international schools, unlike foreign schools that require 3 years or more of residence in a foreign country. However, the annual tuition fee is as high as 50 million won. In addition, none of them is located in Seoul, meaning that students would face long commute to school or the family should move in near the school. The oldest school is Chadwick International opened in 2010, implying that international schools have not been verified in many aspects. -

ADVANCES IN ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES, VOL. 26, NO. 2, 2009, 275–282 Regional Distribution of Perceived Temperatures Estimated by the Human Heat Budget Model (the Klima-Michel Model) in South Korea Jiyoung KIM∗1,KyuRangKIM1, Byoung-Cheol CHOI1,Dae-GeunLEE1, and Jeong-Sik KIM2 1National Institute of Meteorological Research, Korea Meteorological Administration, Seoul 156-720,Korea 2Korea Global Atmosphere Watch Center, Korea Meteorological Administration, Chungnam 357-961,Korea (Received 1 November 2007; revised 4 May 2008) ABSTRACT The regional distribution of perceived temperatures (PT) for 28 major weather stations in South Korea during the past 22 years (1983–2004) was investigated by employing a human heat budget model, the Klima-Michel model. The frequencies of a cold stress and a heat load by each region were compared. The sensitivity of PT in terms of the input of synoptic meteorological variables were successfully tested. Seogwipo in Jeju Island appears to be the most comfortable city in Korea. Busan also shows a high frequency in the comfortable PT range. The frequency of the thermal comfort in Seoul is similar to that of Daejeon with a relatively low frequency. In this study, inland cities like Daegu and Daejeon had very hot thermal sensations. Low frequencies of hot thermal sensations appeared in coastal cities (e.g., Busan, Incheon, and Seogwipo). Most of the 28 stations in Korea exhibited a comfort thermal sensation over 40% in its frequency, except for the mountainous regions. The frequency of a heat load is more frequent than that of a cold stress. There are no cities with very cold thermal sensations. -

Potential Pest Status of the Formosan
Potential pest status of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Blattodea: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), in response to climate change in the Korean Peninsula Sang-Bin Lee1, Reina L. Tong1, Si-Hyun Kim2, Ik Gyun Im3, and Nan-Yao Su1 Abstract Climate change impacts the current and potential distribution of many insects, since temperature is often a limiting factor to where the insects can survive. The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae), has never been reported in South Korea despite its close proximity to 2 countries (China and Japan) where this economically important pest has been reported. This may be due to the average winter temperature in South Korea which is below 4 °C, the lower limit of the current distribution range of Formosan subterranean termite. However, with climate change leading to increased temperatures, South Korea may be susceptible to successful invasion by Formosan subterranean termite. The objective of this study is to estimate the future possible distribution of Formosan subterranean termite in Korea based on temperature. Climate data from Korea showed a significant increase of 2.19 °C per 100 yr in average annual temperature from 1910 to 2018. Previous and current average winter temperatures were higher than 4 °C only in Jeju, and most provinces did not exceed 4 °C, except for some southern cities such as Busan in 2000 to 2019. With the estimated rate of temperature rises, winter temperatures in Gyeongsangnam-do will exceed 4 °C starting from 2020, and Jeollanam-do will exceed 4 °C from 2060. Coupled with the statistically significant, increased annual trade between Korea and other countries (China, Japan, Taiwan, and the USA) where C. -
