Abstract
This study is aimed to examine the variability of consecutive dry days in South Korea. The country is divided into six basins including Han river, Nakdong river, Geum river. Seomjin Yeongsan river, Eastern Coast area and Island area, and three extreme precipitation indices-related to dry days are analyzed at sixty weather stations. Trends of max number of consecutive dry days were unstable during 1973~2010. Variability range of max number of consecutive dry days trends in Nakdong and Seomjin Yeongsan river was larger than that in Han and Geum river. Recently, the range in Nakdong and Seomjin Yeongsan river was bigger and bigger. Maximum dry spell was observed in autumn and winter in most of riverbasins. Especially, Maximum dry spell in winter was more frequent than in other seasons in Nakdong river. Variability range of persistence dry spells was smaller than that of max number of consecutive dry days. However, the increasing trends of the Geum river and the Seomjin Yeongsan river are statistically significant in recent. In Nakdong river, difference between persistence dry spell average and persistence dry spell median was larger than any other riverbasin. It means that there is strong possibility of occurrence of long term consecutive dry days in Nakdong river.
본 연구는 한국에서 6개(한강유역, 낙동강유역, 금강유역, 섬진강 영산강유역, 동해안지역, 도서지역) 유역별로 가뭄의 변화경향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 무 강수일과 관련된 3개의 극한강수지수를 분석하였다. 최대연속건조일수의 변화지속성은 전 기간에 걸쳐 뚜렷하지 않고 변동성이 크다. 낙동강유역과 섬진강 영산강유역이 한강유역과 금강유역에 비하여 변동폭이 크다. 최근 낙동강유역과 섬진강 영산강유역에서 그 변동폭이 더 커지고 있다. 최대연속건조기의 출현은 대부분 유역에서 가을과 겨울철에 빈번하다. 낙동강유역은 겨울철 가뭄이 특징적이다. 평균연속건조일수의 변화는 최대연속건조일수에 비하여 연 변동성이 작고 금강과 섬진강 영산강유역의 최근 증가경향은 지속적이다. 낙동강유역은 연속건조일의 평균값과 중앙값의 차가 크며, 이는 다른 유역에 비해 연속건조일의 장기간 출현가능성이 높음을 의미한다.
