기상학회 60년간 환경분야 연구 역사와 전망

Abstract

Research papers in the field of atmospheric environment published in three Journals:Journal of Korean Meteorological Society, Atmosphere, and Asia-Pacific Journal of theAtmospheric Sciences, are all summarized over period of 60 years since the establishment ofKorea Meteorological Society (KMS) in 1963. In addition, current research trends and futureoutlook in the atmospheric environment field has been also highlighted. The results of historicalrecords published in three KMS journals indicated that the activities, contents, and scope ofresearches carried out by KMS members in the field of atmospheric environment have yieldedthe enormous and rapid progress in each of the all four areas over 60 years. In particular, as thechronological progress of observational instruments and availability of satellite data such asfrom GEMS can be a great asset to deepen the observational and modeling researches in the currentand future studies, it is highly anticipated that the more progressive and in-depth studies canbe achievable to abate the air pollutants over the Korea as well as northeast Asia.
