Park Soo-jin, a researcher at PKNU, Award winner of the Best Thesis by Korean Meteorological Society
Researcher Park recently received this award for his thesis 'High-resolution Simulations of urban flow and reactive pollutants' dispersion ‧ Advisory Professor Kim Jae-jin', at the 2020 Korean Meteorological Society's regular meeting and Autumn Conference 2020 held online. This thesis is a doctoral dissertation published by Researcher Park for his Ph.D. in Environmental and Atmospheric Sciences earlier this year. In this paper, he presented the results of a study that analyzed the correlation of variables affecting air quality in urban areas and received an excellent evaluation. In this paper, researcher Park conducted a numerical simulation using data such as the height of buildings in urban areas, emissions of automobiles, the temperature of the roof of the building, and the temperature of the surface. As a result of his research, it was found that the surface temperature in urban areas strengthens the vertical flow and diffuses pollutants such as motor vehicle exhaust gas to the upper layer, which can flow from highly-concentrated ozone of the upper layer to the surface. Mr. Park said, "Through this study, I was able to assure that air quality changes due to various factors such as fluctuations in an air current. I expect this research to be useful for air quality analysis studies at the scale of tens of meters in urban areas." Meanwhile, the Korean Meteorological Society, which was established in 1963, is contributing to the development, application, and dissemination of meteorology through active research and academic activities. In addition, 3,000 members are joining in the Climate Division, Atmospheric Dynamics and Numerical Modeling Division, Atmospheric Physics Division, Observation and Forecast Division, and Environment, and Applied Meteorological Division. <Pukyong Today> |
