본 연구에서는 제반 수문학적 문제 해결을 위하여 강우사상에 대해 최대평균우량깊이-유역면적-지속기간 관계곡선의 항목 중 최대평균우량깊이를 가뭄심도의 항으로 대체한 가뭄심도-영향면적-지속기간 관계 곡선의 작성방법을 제시하고자 한다. 제주도를 포함한 우리나라 전역의 기상청 월강수량을 이용하여 SPI 가뭄지수를 산정하고 EOF 기법을 적용하여 공간정보로 축약하였다. 이후 Kriging 기법으로 $6km{\times}6km$의 해상도를 가진 SPI값으로 할당함으로써 격자기반의 가뭄지수 자료의 시간 및 공간특성을 고려할 수 있다. 이에 근거하여 주요 가뭄사상을 식별 및 분석하여 영향면적별 가뭄지수를 산정하고 이에 따라 가뭄심도-가뭄면적-가뭄지속기간 관계곡선을 도시하였다. 관계곡선 작성 결과 각 지속기간에 대하여 특정한 면적 이상에서 가뭄심도가 완만하게 감소하는 형태를 보여 공간적 국지성 및 시간적 단속성이 강한 홍수와는 시 공간적으로 다르게 거동되고 있었으며 가뭄심도의 면적에 따른 감소율은 가뭄분석시의 강우깊이의 면적에 따른 감소율과 비교하였을 때 훨씬 작은 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, the impact of climate change on extreme drought events is investigated by comparing drought severity-area-duration curves under present and future climate. The depth-area-duration analysis for characterizing an extreme precipitation event provides a basis for analysing drought events when storm depth is replaced by an appropriate measure of drought severity. In our climate-change impact experiments, the future monthly precipitation time series is based on a KMA regional climate model which has a $27km{\times}27km$ spatial resolution, and the drought severity is computed using the standardized precipitation index. As a result, agricultural drought risk is likely to increase especially in short duration, while hydrologic drought risk will greatly increase in all durations. Such results indicate that a climate change vulnerability assessment for present water resources supply system is urgent.

The rainfall depth-area-duration analysis which is used to characterize precipitation extremes for specification of so-called design storms, provides a basis for evaluation of drought severity when storm depth is replaced by an appropriate measure of drought severity. So we propose a method for constructing drought severity-area-duration curves in this study. Monthly precipitation data over the whole Korea are used to compute SPI. Such SPIs are abstracted to several independent spatial components from EOF analysis. Using Kriging method, these spatial components are used to constitute grid-based SPI data set over the whole Korea including Jeju island with $6km{\times}6km$ resolution. After identifying main drought events, the drought severity-area-duration curves for these events over 32-year period of record are finally constructed. As a result, such curves show the similar shape with storm-based curves in the sense that the drought severity (or rainfall depth) is inversely proportional to drought area from the curves, but drought-based curves are different from storm-based curves in the sense that the drought severity decreasing rate with respect to drought area is much less than depth decreasing rate.

In this study, drought Severity-affected Area-drought Duration (SAD) curves are analyzed in order to examine temporal and spatial behavior of drought. A copulas-based joint drought index which is studied recently is applied to express the severity of drought. JDIs across the country with 60 points are calculated monthly basis, and using EOF and Kriging techniques, locational JDIs are spatially extended into gridbased JDIs with spatial resolution of $10{\times}10$ km. JDIs by lattice is analyzed by drought duration and by affected area, and JDI-based SAD curves are created to represent Korean historical drought events. Though created curves, drought events that occurred in the past in our country can be spatially and temporally characterized. In addition, curves are expected to contribute to determine the exact situation on the current drought condition have an impact to some extent.

In this study, the impact of climate change on the spatio-temporal behavior of extreme drought events is investigated by comparing drought severity-area-duration curves under present and future climate conditions. In our climate-change impact experiments, the future climate is based on two GCMs(CGCM3.1-T63 and CSIRO-MK3.0). As a result, in the case of CGCM3.1-T63 future drought events are similar to the present, but in the case of CSIRO-MK3.0 future drought risk is likely to increase. Such results indicate that a climate change vulnerability assessment for present water resources supply system is urgent.
