Abstract

Drought is a social phenomenon in which the degree of perception varies depending on the affected factors, and is defined as various relative concepts such as meteorological drought, hydrological drought, agricultural drought, and climatological drought. In this study, a comparative analysis of meteorological drought among variously defined droughts was conducted and the applicability of the drought index was examined by comparing the actual drought cases and the results of meteorological drought index analysis. In order to compare the drought index, we used standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), China-Z Index (CZI), Modified CZI (MCZI) and Z-Score Index Respectively. Four drought indices were used for the Taebaek and Sokcho areas. The drought index was analyzed using the meteorological data from 1986 to 2015 for a duration of 3 months. As a result of the analysis, the SPI drought index was analyzed to be highly reproducible for the case of drought with past limited water series. In the case of CZI and MCZI drought indices, the number of extreme dry occurrences is similar to that of the past cases, but the reproducibility is low for the actual drought years. In the case of ZSI drought index, it is analyzed that the number of occurrences and the comparison with the past cases are inferior in reproducibility. For the meteorological drought index using precipitation, it would be effective to use the SPI drought index with the highest reproducibility and the past drought case.

가뭄은 영향을 받는 인자에 따라 체감정도가 달라지는 사회적 현상으로 기후학적 가뭄, 기상학적 가뭄, 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄 등 다양한 상대적 개념으로 정의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양하게 정의되는 가뭄 중에서 기상학적 가뭄을 나타내는 지수에 대한 비교 분석을 실시하고자 하였으며, 실제 과거 가뭄사례와 기상학적 가뭄지수 분석결과의 비교를 통하여 가뭄지수의 적용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 가뭄지수의 비교를 위하여 기상학적 가뭄을 판단하기 위해 일반적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)와 일반적으로 사용되지는 않지만 강수량만을 이용하여 가뭄분석이 가능한 CZI (China-Z Index), MCZI (Modified CZI), ZSI (Z-Score Index) 지수를 이용하였다. 대상지역으로는 최근까지도 가뭄이 발생하였던 태백과 속초지역을 대상으로 선정하였으며 1986년부터 2015년 기상 자료를 이용하여 지속시간 3개월로 가뭄지수 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 SPI 가뭄지수가 과거 제한급수발생 가뭄사례에 대하여 높은 재현성을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었으며 CZI와 MCZI 가뭄지수의 경우 Extreme Dry 발생 횟수는 과거사례와 유사하나 실제 가뭄이 발생했던 년도에 대해서는 낮은 재현성이 나타났다. ZSI 가뭄지수의 경우 발생횟수, 과거사례와의 비교 모두 재현성이 떨어지는 것으로 분석되었다. 가뭄지수의 비교결과 강수량을 이용한 기상학적 가뭄지수의 경우 과거 가뭄사례와 가장 높은 재현성을 보이는 SPI 가뭄지수를 이용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
