The Korean Peninsula is indicated that frequency of climate change and natural disaster has been increased by earthshock affected by global warming. In this circumstance, getting correct and prompt weather information about the most adjacent areas, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, can be an extremely substantial policy goal to be minimized future climate change and natural disaster regarding meteorology. In addition, this kind of South and North weather cooperation can be a representative field that brings about prevention against weather disaster, reduction for the scale of damages and agriculture by further using a meteorological data. In this research, we evaluate North Korean meteorological technical skills concerning natural disaster and try to find out what degree of upgrading its technology. Internal specialists on the weather are made to measure the level of meteorological technology in D. P. R. K and when cooperating in South and North meterological sectors throughout the mid-to long-term road map for South and North meterological cooperation, we sought about the rate of North Korean meteorological technical skills. To figure out the North Korean weather technology's standard, we give earlier studies and papers from a unique meteorological journals in D. P. R. K to specialists for appreciating North skills.
The results of expert survey questionnaires dealing with weight on every component in the meteorological technology for natural disaster showed that a section for forecast is 46.2% highly ranked, observation is 37.5% and applied meteorology is 15.2%. The North Korean weather technology's level is estimated 39~41% of South Korean standard. Especially it is largely behind in a local automatic weather system and setting entire networks and systems such as weather equipments, infrastructures. Lastly, if weather cooperation vitalizes in The Korean Peninsula and both share information and appliance about meteorology, there will be 36~39% at the rate of North Korean meteorological technical skills in short term (within 3 years) and 49~51% at the rate of North Korean meteorological technical skills in the mid-to long-term (over 3 years). In especial, meteorological technology for observation parts and short term weather forecast will be improved. This study is significant to initially evaluate systematically and quantitatively North Korea weather technology, while is limited by depending on estimates from weather specialist in the poor situation to get objective indexes from D. P. R. K.
