Abstract

A new methodology to analyze and quantify regional meteorological drought based on annual precipitation data has been introduced in this paper In this study, based on posterior probability estimator and Bayesian classifier in Spatial Analysis Neural Network (SANN), point drought probabilities categorized as extreme, severe, mild, and non drought events has been defined, and a Bayesian Drought Severity Index (BPSI) has been introduced to classify the region of interest into four drought severities. In addition, to estimate the regional drought severity for the entire region, regional extreme, severe, mild, and non drought probabilities which are the areal averages of point drought probabilities over the region has been computed and applied. In this study, the proposed methodology has been applied to analyze the regional drought of South Korea during 1967-1996 years. The drought severity for the whole South Korea was defined spatially at each year and each year was classified in a drought severity criterion. The results may be useful for water manager to understand the South Korean drought with respect to the spatial and temporal variation.

본 연구에서는 공간적으로 분포되어 있는 연강우량 자료를 이용한 지역 기상학적인 가뭄을 정의하고 해석하는 모형을 제시하였다. 비선형. 비매개변수법에 기초한 공간 해석 신경망(Spatial Analysis Neural Network; SANN)모형을 이용하여, 각 년에 대하여 공간의 임의 점에서의 극심, 심 경심, 및 비 가뭄 확률을 전 대상 지역에 대하여 산출을 통하여 가뭄확률도를 작성하며, Bayesian 가뭄 심도 지수(BDSI)를 통하여 전 대상 지역을 가장 적적하게 극심, 심, 경심, 비 가뭄 지역으로 분류하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 각 년의 대표적인 가뭄의 형태를 제시하여 줄 수 있는 지역 가뭄 확률과 지역 가뭄 확률 지수를 소개하였다. 이 모든 시공간적 가뭄 해석의 방법은 실제로 우리나라(남한) 전역에 대하여 실시하여, 과거 1967년부터 1996년 까지의 공간적이고 시간적인 가뭄의 발생 현황과 그 특징을 조사 하였다. 본 연구는 우리나라 장기 수자원 개발 및 유역 관리를 위한 공간적이고도 시간적인 가뭄 정보를 제공하였다는 데 그 의의가 있을 것이다.
