Comparison of the Meteorological Factors on the Forestland and Weather Station in the Middle Area of Korea

Climate is one of most important environmental factors on the forest ecosystem. This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of meteorological factors in the forest area and weather stations from July 2015 to June 2016 in Cheuncheon and Hongcheon of Kangwon Province in Korea. The HOBO data logger was installed for meteorological analysis in forests area (site 1 and site 2). The meteorological data from the HOBO data logger compared with meteorological data of the weather station. The meteorological data used for the analysis was monthly mean temperature (°C), monthly mean minimum temperature (°C), monthly mean maximum average temperature (°C), and monthly mean relative humidity (%). As a result of this study, the mean temperature (°C) of forest area was relatively lower than weather station which is the outside the forest area, and the mean maximum temperature (°C) of weather station was relatively higher than that of forest area. The mean relative humidity (%) was higher in forest area than weather station.
