Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) is attracting public attention as all three weather forecasting projects developed by the university were selected for the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)'s 'Meteorology and Climate Convergence Technology for Smart City, 2021' development project.

    

Pukyong National University announced on the 30th that the university has been selected to be the institute in charge of the research for two projects, and one project as a joint research institute in a contest by the Korea Meteorological Administration.

    

The Korea Meteorological Administration publicly invited interested parties to implement and spread integrated meteorological and climate technology to enhance the safety and convenience of city residents, and to produce and distribute high-resolution weather information in real time.

    

As Pukyong National University has been selected for this project, the university will start research on developing three-dimensional weather analysis and prediction technology centered on cities using advanced technologies, such as the IoT (Internet of Things), and establishing a meteorological observation utilization system with Professor Lee Dong-In and Professor Kim Jae-Jin of the Department of Environmental Atmospheric Sciences as head research professors.

    

Professor Lee Dong-In's research team was named as the leading institution for the 'Research on High-resolution Meteorological Prediction and Application System for Smart City', and the team will receive a total of 1 billion won by 2022 in collaboration with organizations such as Sejong University and The East Co., Ltd. to promote the development of an optimal method for using high-resolution three-dimensional urban weather grid observation data.

    

By proposing a construction scheme for a high-resolution urban weather observation network, the research team plans to increase the efficiency by building a weather observation network in urban areas in Korea and maximizing the utility of smart city meteorological information by standardizing the metadata, which is the IoT urban weather observation data.

    

Particularly, Professor Lee Dong-In's research team will participate in a joint research institute for the research project 'Development of Weather Information Service Technology for Safety and Road Risk of Smart City', the team will receive 360 million won by 2024 to conduct research on the ‘Development for IoT-based High-resolution Extreme Weather Calculating Prototype'.

    

Along with this, Professor Kim Jae-Jin's research team will be in charge of the 'Development of Manufacturing Technology for Meteorological Analysis Field and Forecasting Field for smart cities,' and will receive a total of 1.85 billion won by 2024 in cooperation with Mirae Climate Co., Ltd. and Kongju National University, to develop a high-resolution 3D meteorological analysis field (a combination of weather observations and background values) and forecast field production technology to provide meteorological and combined climate services for smart cities.

    

The research team plans to develop a technology for producing a high-resolution three-dimensional meteorological images on an urban scale and secure a technology to combine it with meteorological ground observation data. If such technology is developed, it is expected to be able to set up countermeasures against meteorological disasters such as strong winds and heat waves in urban areas, and to be used to collect basic data to aid in resolving urban environmental problems such as fine dust. <Pukyong Today>
