Concentrations and number of Asian Dust events have been on the rise in recent decades(Chun et al., 2001). The Asian Dust concentrations were calculated using HCM (Hwangsa Concentration Model; a three-dimensional eulerian transport model) in spring 2003 in Korea. Meteorological dataset as input data into the HCM were obtained from the Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System of KMA. In and Park(2002) simulated and verified the HCM in case of severe Asian dust events in 1998. The HCM produced 48 hours forecasting concentration and deposition of Asian Dust twice a day with 30km spatial resolution and 25 layers from March to May 2003. At the same periods Asian Dust intensive observation was carried out in METRI, KMA.

4. Summary a. KMA observes and monitors Asian dust events in following ways: 1) Observation with naked eyes for occurrence of Asian Dust event 2) PM10 in 7 sites (Baengnyeongdo, Inchon, Gwanaksan, Anmyeondo, Gunsan, Heuksando, Gosan)

3) Lidar measurement at the GAW observatory (Anmyeondo) for the vertical distribution 4) International meteorological information through the Global Telecommunication System with 3 hours interval 5) Satellite images obtained from NOAA, TERRA and SeaWiFs to check the location and intensity of Asian dust 6) Ministry of Environment informations obtained from 177 automatic air pollution-monitoring stations in real time

b. KMA put a Asian dust warning system in 3 steps(Alarm, Advisory and Warning) based on PM10

c. The Hwangsa Concentration Model (HCM) results are provided to the KMA intranet, and utilized for Asian dust prediction during the spring of 2003.
