Abstract

|
|
In this study, before and after sunset carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature were observed in two points of
atmosphere (lower observation point of the GL + 0.1 m, the upper observation point of GL + 1.0 m) on the foreshore at located in Suncheon Bay and their variations were analyzed. Observation was performed on the foreshore on 2~4 August 2010.
Instrument (VAISALA, GMP343) was set two hours before sunset and then observation was made continuously for six hours.
In three days, observed carbon dioxide concentration was 375~419 ppm, and the air temperature was in the range of 28.7~32.
5℃. The average concentration of carbon dioxide was 388~399 ppm in the upper observation point and 386~396 ppm in the
lower observation point. It was higher in the upper observation point and its fluctuations were similar in two observation
points. Correlation coefficients between carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature in the upper observation point were in the range of ?0.64~?0.88, and were calculated ?0.65 to -0.90 in the lower observation point. For the carbon dioxide
concentration, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.98 in three times. For the air temperature, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.97 and 0.99. In the same observation time, the slope of the linear regression function as carbon dioxide concentration in the lower observation point for the upper observation point was in the range of 0.97~1.01. Carbon dioxide concentration was slightly higher in the upper observation point. Because carbon dioxide in the lower observation point was closer on the surface of the foreshore and absorbed from atmosphere to the foreshore. In this study, it was showed that the vertical variation of carbon dioxide concentration was insignificant in the several meter scale of atmosphere on the surface of the foreshore.
