Radiation Component Calculation and Energy Budget Analysis for the Region of the Korean Peninsula

초록/요약

Global warming refers to an increase in global mean surface temperature, which changes the global energy budget and creates an energy imbalance. Energy imbalances, in turn, lead to climate change, and meteorological disasters resulting from extreme climate may cause human, social, and economic losses. Global warming and attendant climate effects therefore necessitate the accumulation and monitoring of global and regional climate data for forecasting and mitigation. In order to calculate the energy budget for the region of the Korean peninsula, Himawari-8 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) and Unified Model (UM) Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System (LDAPS) data were used to develop an radiation components calculation algorithm. The accuracies of the calculated radiation components were evaluated against ground station observations and broadband radiation data from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES), which revealed ~3.5% differences and high correlations (0.98). The region of the Korean peninsula energy budgets of the top of the atmosphere (RT), surface (RS), and atmosphere (RA) were –2.4, -15.2, and 12.8 Wm-2, respectively; in other words, energy absorbed by the atmosphere either increased the surface temperature in regions with relatively low surface temperature or was transported to polar regions, balancing the global energy budget. The Korean peninsula regional energy budget showed RA values of –13.1 Wm-2 in the Sokcho area (284.7 K), where the surface temperature was low, and 25.3 Wm-2 in the Seoul area (289.5 K), where the surface temperature was high. Because regional energy imbalances can contribute to climate change and meteorological disasters, continuous research should be conducted to detect energy budget changes.
