가뭄은 일반적으로 물 수요에 비하여 공급이 부족하여 나타나는 현상을 말한다. 공급 가능한 물의 부족은 강수량의 부족으로부터 시작되며, 강수량의 부족은 토양 수분의 부족과 하천의 유량 감소로 이어져 농작물의 피해와 우리 사회가 필요로 하는 생 공용수의 부족을 초래한다. 2009년 현재 우리나라는 작년 가을부터 시작된 강수량의 부족으로 인해 강원도 내륙지방과 전라남도, 경상남도 등 남부지방을 중심으로 가뭄이 발생하고 있고 이는 당분간 지속될 것으로 예상되어 물 부족에 의한 피해의 우려를 낳고 있다. 우리나라는 기상 특성상 여름철 장마기간 및 태풍으로 인해 발생한 많은 양의 강수를 이용하여 나머지 기간 동안 필요한 용수를 확보하는 체계를 이루고 있으나 2008년에는 여름철 강수의 부족으로 인해 2008년 말부터 지금까지 제한급수 등 가뭄 피해가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상청 주요 지점에 대해 2008년부터 2009년 초반까지의 강수량 관측자료를 이용하여 강수현황을 검토하였으며, Palmer 가뭄지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index, PDSI), 표준강수지수 (Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI), 물공급능력지수(Water Supply Capacity Index, WSCI) 등의 가뭄지수를 이용하여 현재 가뭄의 정도 및 공간적인 분포 현황을 제시하였다.

In this study, four types of sensitivity experiments (EG, EE, NG, NE; E: ERA-Interim, N: NCEP/DOE2, G: Grell scheme, E: Emanuel scheme) were performed to evaluate the simulation skills of RegCM4 released in July 2010 over the CORDEX (COordinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment) East Asia domain based on the combinations of boundary conditions (BC: ERA-Interim, NCEP/DOE2) and the cumulus parameterization schemes (CPS: Grell, Emanuel) for the 1989. The surface air temperature and precipitation data observed by the Korea Meteorological Adminstration were used to validate the simulation results over South Korea. The RegCM4 well simulates the seasonal and spatial variations of temperature but it fails to capture the seasonal and spatial variations of precipitation without consideration of the BC and CPS. Especially the simulated summer precipitation amount is significantly less in EG, NG, and NE experiments. But the seasonal variation of precipitation including summer precipitation is relatively well simulated in the EE experiment. The EE experiment shows a better skill in the seasonal march of East Asia summer monsoon, distribution of precipitation intensity and frequency than other experiments. In general, the skills of RegCM4 for temperature and precipitation are better during winter than summer, and in Emanuel than Grell schemes. The simulation results are more impacted by cumulus parameterization schemes than boundary conditions.

A modified standardized precipitation index was developed by considering the length of dry period and surface run-off effect. The official reports and newspapers on drought from 1973 to 2009 were quantified to evaluate drought indices. The developed index was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic analysis. In order to suggest improved drought index, we cut the precipitation amount that may do not contribute the mitigation of drought and weight dry period by considering cumulative distribution, decile distribution of dry periods. Drought detection capability of the suggested index has improved by weighting of dry period effects and considering precipitation amounts contributing drought mitigation.

Automotive radar that is one of the most important equipment in high-tech vehicles, is commonly used to detect the speed and range of objects such as cars. In this paper, in addition to objects detection, a method of retrieving precipitation information using the automotive radar data is proposed. The proposed method is based on the fact that the degree of attenuation of the returned radar signal differs depending on the precipitation intensity and the assumption that the distribution of precipitation is constant in short spatial and temporal observation. The purpose of this paper is to assesses the possibility of retrieving precipitation information using a vehicle radar. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method during actual driving, a method of estimating precipitation information for each time segment of various precipitation events was applied. From the results of driving field experiments, it was found that the proposed method is suitable for estimating precipitation information in various rainfall types.

Characterization the regional impact of the variability of summer extreme precipitation and the rain days over several thresholds (i.e. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 mm/day) in South Korea was performed using daily precipitation data of 59 weather stations operated by Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA). To consider the local features of weather stations, we characterized the variability according to the difference of elevations, latitudes, longitudes, river basins, inland or shore area, and the ratio of urbanization. The results showed that the summer extreme precipitation is sensible to the geographical effect which is similar to that of the annual precipitation. Rain days over thresholds have increased during 1973-2009 while the annual rain days have decreased. This indicate that the concentration of precipitation in summer season will be intensified in the future. Increase of summer precipitation amount and number of extreme rain days is higher in inland area, urbanized area, and Han-River basin than that of shore area, unurbanized area, and the other river basins respectively.

This paper examined characteristics of folk houses related to climate in Cheju island using climate data, documents and field survey data. Precipitation and humidity affect characteristics of folk houses in the southern parts of the island during summer while in winter, northern parts are mainly affected by wind. Chuck-gub has been shown through all over Cheju island due to the characteristics of precipitation. Jaechangmoon exists in southern parts of the island and these parts are experienced high humidity in summer The double-row room houses, the low eaves, gentle slop roof and stone wall are distributed through Cheju island and is related to wind. The double door is common in the northern parts because of strong winter monsoon, and Yimoonkan exists in the coastal area of the northern parts. Outer wall, Pung-Che and Gorangche are affected by winter monsoon and abundant precipitation. Gorangche has shown through both the northern parts and southeastern parts. Folk houses in the southern parts are more open than in northern parts. Folk houses in the northern parts are divided into the coastal type and the piedmont type. In the southern parts, they are subdivided the eastern type and the western type by the appearance of Gorangche.

수자원관리에 있어서 미래시구간에 대한 유량예측은 수자원시스템운영자에게 있어서 의사결정에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 효율적 물배분이나 발전 등의 이수활동을 위해서 최소 월단위 이상의 장기유량예측이 필요하며, 이를 위해서는 강우예측이 선행되어야 하는데, 본 연구에서는 통합 실시간 물관리 운영시스템을 위한 중장기 유량예측을 목표로 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 중장기 유량예측을 수행하는 대표적인 방법 중의 하나는 앙상블 유량예측(ESP; Ensemble Streamflow Prediction) 기법이다. ESP란 현재의 유역상태를 초기조건으로 사용하고 과거의 온도나 강수 등의 시계열앙상블을 모형입력으로 이용해서 강우-유출모형을 통하여 유출량을 예측하는 기법이다. ESP는 결국 현재의 유역상태와 유역에서의 과거강우관측기록, 미래강우예측에 대한 정보를 조합하여 그에 따른 유출앙상블을 생산해 내게 된다. 유출앙상블은 각 앙상블 트레이스가 갖게 되는 가중치에 따라 확률분포를 달리 갖게 되고 경우에 따라서는 유량으로부터 2차적으로 유도되는 변수들의 확률분포로 전이되기도 한다. 기존의 ESP 이론은 미국 NWS의 범주형 확률예보를 근간으로 하고 있어, 이를 국내 환경에 그대로 적용시키기에 어려움이 있어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 기상청의 월간 강수전망을 이용하고, 이러한 정보의 특성에 맞는 ESP기법을 제시하였다. 더 나아가 중장기 수자원운영을 위한 일단위 월강수시나리오 구성을 위해서 수치예보와 월강수전망을 조합하여 ESP를 사용하는 기법을 제시하였다.
