All GCMs simulate well the annual and seasonal climatology of F<sub>AR</sub> and IVT for both the global and East Asia domains. Large biases in F<sub>AR</sub> and IVT occur in the same regions characterized by high AR activities including the midlatitude Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the tropical region from the eastern Indian Ocean to the western Pacific. The sign and magnitude of large model errors vary across the GCMs to result in small model-mean biases. The seasonal variation of the skill of individual GCMs is smaller than the variation of the skill across the GCMs, implying that the model skill varies more widely by the difference in model formulations than the response of individual GCMs to seasonal forcing variations. A novel method to relate the skill for simulating F<sub>AR</sub> and IVT to that for winds and water vapor is introduced. The method shows that the vertical integration of the covariance of wind and water vapor in the definition of IVT can be well approximated by the multiplication of two separate functions obtained by vertically integrating either winds or water vapor, especially in the regions of strong AR activities. Spearman’s rank correlation in conjunction with this method suggests that the model skill for F<sub>AR</sub> and IVT is significantly related only to that for winds.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8556,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences","volume":"60 2","pages":"165 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138538025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As CO<sub>2</sub> emission estimates can be independently verified using atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> measurements, the need for optimal CO<sub>2</sub> monitoring networks has increased. This study proposed an experimental method for designing national-scale atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> monitoring networks. We used gridded data for fossil fuel CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, facilitating the selection of emission grids as potential monitoring sites. First, we determined the appropriate number of CO<sub>2</sub> monitoring sites, which increased in proportion to the magnitude and variability of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions within the region. Subsequently, the emission grids corresponding to the region were arranged in descending order of emissions. Grids were then selected at regular intervals as potential monitoring sites, aligning with the predetermined number of sites. This selection process ensured that monitoring sites were evenly distributed, ranging from areas with high emissions to those with lower emissions. Lastly, as a verification step to assess the suitability of this potential network, a transport model simulating meteorological conditions was employed to evaluate its coverage to detect the influence of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. This method was applied to South Korea, and 96 candidate monitoring sites were created. The optimal CO<sub>2</sub> monitoring network distributed evenly across South Korea could evaluate variations in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The simple monitoring network design method proposed in this study can accelerate the installation of a national CO<sub>2</sub> monitoring network, ultimately enabling the verification of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and supporting climate policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8556,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences","volume":"60 2","pages":"131 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138538024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large-scale circulations linked to this high pressure over East Asia are characterized by the low pressure over the Arctic (AC) and the high pressure over Western Europe (WE), East Asia, and the North Pacific (NP). To assess the contribution of these circulation anomalies to the hot summer in Korea, the four nudging experiments (AC, NP, AC + NP, and WE) are applied to the simulations with 50 different initial conditions in July. As a result, the most similar patterns on local and hemispheric scales are found in the AC + NP nudging experiment. However, the near-surface response in the AC + NP is still weak, and its center shifts to the north compared to the observed, which is induced by the weaker diabatic contribution for the downward motion in the nudging experiment. Using the quasi-geostrophic omega equation, we find that the simulated radiative feedback process is not sufficient to build up the large-scale subsidence with the short nudging period. Despite this limitation, AC + NP well simulates the coherent sinking motion and high-pressure system near Korea by the vorticity advection associated with the upper-level westerlies.

In addition, based on the categorized stations, an urbanization contribution index (UCI) is calculated to quantitatively compare temperature changes between urban and rural stations. As a result, it is confirmed that the method based on the ratio of artificial features better captures the urbanization effect of temperature compared to the population-based method. In particular, the urbanization effect is found to be more pronounced during nighttime, with the largest difference between urban and rural stations observed in the daily minimum temperature.
