초록

본 연구에서는 우리나라 61개 지점 기온 및 강수 자료에서 산출한 31개의 극한 기후 지수를 바탕으로 최근 35년 동안(1973-2007)의 계절 평균 값의 변화에 따른 우리나라 극한 기온 및 강수 사상의 시 공간적 변화 패턴을 조사하였다. 연구기간 동안 우리나라 평균적으로 기상학적 겨울철(12-2월) 일 최고기온(일 최저기온)은 $+0.60^{\circ}C$/10년($+0.54^{\circ}C$/10년)의 비율로 상승한 반면, 여름철(6-8월) 극한 기온 평균은 통계적으로 유의미한 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 기온 극한 사상의 경우에는 연구기간 동안 상 하위 10번째 퍼센타일 값을 기준으로 한 우리나라 평균 한랭한 밤과 낮의 발생빈도가 각각 -9.2 일/10년과 -3.3 일/10년의 감소추세를 보인 반면, 온난한 밤과 낮의 발생빈도는 각각 +4.9 일/10년과 +6.8 일/10년의 증가추세를 보였다. 이와 같은 극한 기온 사상의 변화는 계절적으로 겨울철에 더 크게 나타났지만, 오히려 일 최저 또는 일 최고 평균 상승에 따른 여름철 무더운 밤(+8.0 일/$^{\circ}C$)과 낮(16.6 일/$^{\circ}C$)의 증가율은 겨울철 추운 밤(-5.2 일/$^{\circ}C$)과 낮(-4.3 일/$^{\circ}C$)의 감소율보다 더 높게 나타났다. 이러한 패턴은 우리나라 기온 극한 사상의 변화가 주야간 그리고 계절별로 비대칭적으로 나타나고 있다는 것을 가리킨다. 한편 우리나라 평균적인 연 총 강수량은 연구기간 동안 85.5mm/10년의 비율로 증가추세를 보였는데, 특히 $7{\sim}8$월 강수량이 통계적으로 유의미하게 증가하여 여름 장마 이후의 이중 극대점의 강수분포가 다중 극대점 구조로 전환되었다. 이러한 여름 강수패턴의 변화는 주로 40mm 이상의 여름철 극한 강수일이 증가하면서 나타났고, 공간적으로 통계적으로 유의미한 극한 강수일의 증가 추세는 태백산맥 주변 지역을 중심으로 나타났다.

In this study, the spatial and temporal patterns of changes in means and extreme events of temperature and precipitation across the Republic of Korea over the last 35 years (1973-2007) are examined. Over the study period, meteorological winter (December-February) mean minimum (maximum) temperature has increased by $+0.54^{\circ}C$/decade ($+0.6^{\circ}C$/decade), while there have been no significant changes in meteorological summer (June-August) mean temperatures. According to analyses of upper or lower $10^{th}$ percentile-based extreme temperature indices, the annual frequency of cool nights (days) has decreased by -9.2 days/decade (-3.3 days/decade), while the annual frequency of warm nights (days) has increased by +4.9 days/decade (+6.8 days/decade). In contrast, the increase rates of summer warm nights (+8.0 days/$^{\circ}C$) and days (+6.6 days/$^{\circ}C$) relative to changes in summer means minimum and maximum temperatures means are greater than the decreasing rates of winter nights (-5.2 days/$^{\circ}C$) and days (-4.3 days/$^{\circ}C$) relative to changes in winter temperatures. These results demonstrate that seasonal and diurnal asymmetric changes in extreme temperature events have occurred. Moreover, annual total precipitation has increased by 85.5 mm/decade particularly in July and August, which led to the shift of a bimodal behavior of summer precipitation into a multi-modal structure. These changes have resulted from the intensification of heavy rainfall events above 40mm in recent decades, and spatially the statistically-significant increases in these heavy rainfall events are observed around the Taebaek mountain region.
