Many potential sources of bias are used in several steps of the radar-rainfall estimation process because the hydrological and meteorological radars measure the rainfall amount indirectly. Previous studies on radar-rainfall uncertainties were performed to reduce the uncertainty of each step by using bias correction methods in the quantitative radar-rainfall estimation process. However, these studies do not provide comprehensive uncertainty for the entire process and the relative ratios of uncertainty between each step. Consequently, in this study, a suitable approach is proposed that can quantify the uncertainties at each step of the quantitative radar-rainfall estimation process and show the uncertainty propagation through the entire process. First, it is proposed that, in the suitable approach, the new concept can present the initial and final uncertainties, variation of the uncertainty as well as the relative ratio of uncertainty at each step. Second, the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) and Uncertainty Delta Method (UDM) were applied to quantify the uncertainty and analyze the uncertainty propagation for the entire process. Third, for the uncertainty quantification of radar-rainfall estimation at each step, two quality control algorithms, two radar-rainfall estimation relations, and two bias correction methods as post-processing through the radar-rainfall estimation process in 18 rainfall cases in 2012. For the proposed approach, in the MEM results, the final uncertainty (from post-processing bias correction method step: ME = 3.81) was smaller than the initial uncertainty (from quality control step: ME = 4.28) and, in the UDM results, the initial uncertainty (UDM = 5.33) was greater than the final uncertainty (UDM = 4.75). However uncertainty of the radar-rainfall estimation step was greater because of the use of an unsuitable relation. Furthermore, it was also determined in this study that selecting the appropriate method for each stage would gradually reduce the uncertainty at each step. Therefore, the results indicate that this new approach can significantly quantify uncertainty in the radar-rainfall estimation process and contribute to more accurate estimates of radar rainfall.

본 연구에서는 대한민국 도시 유역에 대하여 딥러닝 네트워크 기반의 분산형 수문 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형은 완전연결계층(Fully Connected Layer)으로 연결된 여러 개의 장단기 메모리(LSTM-Long Short-Term Memory) 은닉 유닛(Hidden Unit)으로 구성되었다. 개발된 모형을 사용하여 연구 지역인 중랑천 유역을 분석하기 위해 1km² 해상도의 239개 모델 격자 셀에서 10분 단위 레이더-지상 합성 강수량과 10분 단위 기온의 시계열을 입력으로 사용하여 10분 단위 하도 유량을 모의하였다. 모형은 보정과(2013~2016년)과 검증 기간(2017~2019년)에 대한 NSE 계수는각각 0.99와 0.67로 높은 정확도를 보였다. 본 연구는 모형을 추가적으로 심층 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다: (1) 모형을 기반으로 생성된 유출-강수 비율 지도는 토지 피복 데이터에서 얻은 연구 지역의 불투수율 지도와 유사하며, 이는 모형이 수문학에 대한 선험적 정보에 의존하지 않고 입력 및 출력 데이터만으로 강우-유출 분할과정을 성공적으로 학습하였음을 의미한다. (2) 모형은 연속 수문 모형의 필수 전제 조건인 토양 수분 의존 유출 프로세스를 성공적으로 재현하였다; (3) 각 LSTM 은닉 유닛은 강수 자극에 대한 시간적 민감도가 다르며, 응답이 빠른 LSTM 은닉 유닛은 유역 출구 근처에서 더 큰 출력 가중치 계수를 가졌는데, 이는 모형이 강수 입력에 대한 직접 유출과 지하수가 주도하는 기저 흐름과 같이 응답 시간의 차이가 뚜렷한 수문순환의 구성 요소를 별도로 고려하는 메커니즘을 가지고 있음을 의미한다.

The purpose of this study is to improve the calibration matrixes of 2-D and 3-D convective rainfall rates (CRR) using the brightness temperature of the infrared $10.8{\mu}m$ channel (IR), the difference of brightness temperatures between infrared $10.8{\mu}m$ and vapor $6.7{\mu}m$ channels (IR-WV), and the normalized reflectance of the visible channel (VIS) from the COMS satellite and rainfall rate from the weather radar for the period of 75 rainy days from April 22, 2011 to October 22, 2011 in Korea. Especially, the rainfall rate data of the weather radar are used to validate the new 2-D and 3-DCRR calibration matrixes suitable for the Korean peninsula for the period of 24 rainy days in 2011. The 2D and 3D calibration matrixes provide the basic and maximum CRR values ($mm\;h^{-1}$) by multiplying the rain probability matrix, which is calculated by using the number of rainy and no-rainy pixels with associated 2-D (IR, IR-WV) and 3-D (IR, IR-WV, VIS) matrixes, by the mean and maximum rainfall rate matrixes, respectively, which is calculated by dividing the accumulated rainfall rate by the number of rainy pixels and by the product of the maximum rain rate for the calibration period by the number of rain occurrences. Finally, new 2-D and 3-D CRR calibration matrixes are obtained experimentally from the regression analysis of both basic and maximum rainfall rate matrixes. As a result, an area of rainfall rate more than 10 mm/h is magnified in the new ones as well as CRR is shown in lower class ranges in matrixes between IR brightness temperature and IR-WV brightness temperature difference than the existing ones. Accuracy and categorical statistics are computed for the data of CRR events occurred during the given period. The mean error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean squire error (RMSE) in new 2-D and 3-D CRR calibrations led to smaller than in the existing ones, where false alarm ratio had decreased, probability of detection had increased a bit, and critical success index scores had improved. To take into account the strong rainfall rate in the weather events such as thunderstorms and typhoon, a moisture correction factor is corrected. This factor is defined as the product of the total precipitable waterby the relative humidity (PW RH), a mean value between surface and 500 hPa level, obtained from a numerical model or the COMS retrieval data. In this study, when the IR cloud top brightness temperature is lower than 210 K and the relative humidity is greater than 40%, the moisture correction factor is empirically scaled from 1.0 to 2.0 basing on PW RH values. Consequently, in applying to this factor in new 2D and 2D CRR calibrations, the ME, MAE, and RMSE are smaller than the new ones.

기후변화로 인한 태풍 및 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 매년 많은 홍수피해가 발생하고 있다. 특히 제주도는 지리적 특성상 태풍의 길목에 위치하고 있어 집중호우, 돌발홍수 등과 같은 자연재해에 연중 노출되어 있으며, 이상기후로 인한 일강우량의 경신이 빈번하게 발생함에 따라 홍수피해 위험이 증가하고 있다. 홍수피해를 저감시키기 위해서는 정확한 홍수량 산정을 통한 하천기본계획 및 치수계획 수립이 매우 중요하다. 실무에서는 홍수량 산정 시 대부분 HEC-HMS 모형을 활용하고 있으나 본 연구에서는 기존 방법이 아닌 분포형 모형인 Vflo를 활용하여 제주도심하천의 홍수유출을 해석하였다. 도심하천인 외도천을 연구대상유역으로 선정하였으며 Arc-GIS를 이용하여 DEM, 토지피복도, 토양도 등 지형인자들을 $30m{\times}30m$ 격자크기로 나누어 매개변수로 구축하였다. 제주도는 강우관측소가 조밀하고 고르게 분포되어 있어 강우자료의 경우는 레이더영상 자료로부터 추출하여 G/R 기법을 적용하여 보정하였다. 2012년 7월 태풍 카눈은 RMSE 2.6954와 0.9115, 8월 집중호우는 RMSE 2.5703, $R^2$ 0.9202, 9월 태풍 산바는 RMSE 2.1569, $R^2$ 0.9842로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 본 연구의 홍수량 산정 방법 정확도 비교를 위해 현장관측자료(FSIV)를 분석한 유출량과 비교 분석하였다. Vflo를 활용한 홍수량 산정 방법은 미계측 유역이 많은 제주도에서 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 다양한 홍수량 산정 방법을 통하여 하천기본계획 및 유역종합치수계획 등 치수계획 수립 시 많은 활용이 될 것으로 기대한다.

The observed rainfall may be different along with the altitude of rain gauge, resulting in the fact that the characteristics of rainfall events occurred in urban or mountainous areas are different. Due to the mountainous effects, in higher altitude, the uncertainty involved in the rainfall observation gets higher so that the density of rain gauges should be more dense. Basically, a methodology for the rain gauge network evaluation, considering this altitude effect of rain gauges can account for the mountainous effects and becomes an important step for forecasting flash flood and calibrating of the radar rainfall. For this reason, in this study, we suggest a methodology for rain gauge network evaluation with consideration of the rain gauge's altitude. To explore the density of rain gauges at each level of altitude, the Equal-Altitude-Ratio of the density of rain gauges, which is based on the fixed amount of elevation and the Equal-Area-Ratio of the density of rain gauges, which is based on the fixed amount of basin area are designed. After these two methods are applied to a real watershed, it is found that the Equal-Area-Ratio generates better results for evaluation of a rain gauge network with consideration of rain gauge's altitude than the Equal-Altitude-Ratio does. In addition, for comparison between the soundness of rain gauge networks in other watersheds, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) of the rain gauge density by the Equal-Area-Ratio is served as the index for the evenness of the distribution of the rain gauge's altitude. The suggested method is applied to the five large watersheds in Korea and it is found that rain gauges installed in a watershed having less value of the CV shows more evenly distributed than the ones in a watershed having higher value of the CV.

환경부는 기존 대형 강우레이더 관측망에 대한 동해안 지역 관측공백 해소와 집중호우에 의한 재해예방을 목적으로 2기의 전파강수관측소를 삼척과 울진 통고산에 구축 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 삼척 및 울진 전파강수관측소 관측 자료 품질 향상을 위한 다양한 품질 분석 기법을 소개하고 그 결과를 제시한다. 설치된 전파강수관측소의 시스템 특성 중 하나인 Short/Long 펄스 신호에 따른 자료의 연속/불연속성 및 피뢰침에 의한 자료 품질, 그리고 강수에 의한 신호감쇠에 따른 유효관측거리 등을 분석하였다. 이러한 분석을 기반으로 신호보정옵셋 및 피뢰침 위치 등을 조정하여 자료 품질을 향상하였다. 또한 삼척과 울진 전파강수관측소를 대상으로 분포형 비차등위상차 산정 기술을 적용하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 비차등위상차는 시스템 편차나 우박 등의 영향에서 자유로워 특히 전파강수관측소와 같은 X 밴드 정량강우 추정에서 중요하다. 일반적으로 비차등위상차는 차등위상차에 대한 필터링 기법으로 산출하는데, 이 방법은 약한 강수에 대해 변동성이 크며 지형에코 등에 의해 영향을 크게 받는다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 필터링 기법에 의한 비차등위상차와 분포형 기법을 적용한 비차등위상차에 대해 비교 분석을 하였다. 전파강수관측소 강우 자료를 이용한 분포형 비차등위상차 시험적용 결과 기존 비차등위상차에 비해 정성적으로 우위를 보임을 알 수 있었다.

The existing effective path-length model of ITU-R has some drawbacks: The prediction error is quite large compared to domestic measurement data and it is an empirical model in which the physical characteristics of rain cells are not considered. In this paper, a theoretical model for effective path-length using the rain-cell concept was proposed and its validity was verified using the measurement data. To analyze the statistical characteristics of rain cell parameters, the weather-radar data(CAPPI) measured by Korea Meterological Administration were analyzed and the correction factor was properly introduced to fit the Chollian beacon measurement data of ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute). To verify the proposed effective path-length model, it was compared with the Mugunghwa No. 5 beacon data measured in Chungnam National University with the support of ADD(Agency for Defense Development). It was confirmed that the prediction results of the proposed model are in good agreement with the measurement data.

This research aims at comparing the accuracy of flood discharge estimation. For this, we focused on the Oedo watershed of Jeju Island and compared flood discharge by analyzing the values as follows: (1) the concentration of the lumped model (HEC-HMS) and distributed model (Vflo), and (2) the in-situ data using Fixed Surface Image Velocimetry (FSIV). The flood discharge estimation from the HEC-HMS model is slightly larger than the Vflo model results. This result shows that the estimations of the HEC-HMS are larger than the flood discharge data by 4.43 to 36.24% and that of the Vflo are larger by 8.49 to 11%. In terms of the error analysis at the peak discharge occurrence time of each mapping, HEC-HMS is one hour later than the measured data, but Vflo is almost the same as the measured data.

A correction method of reflectivity in partial beam blockage (PBB) area is suggested, which is based on the combination of digital terrain information and self-consistency principle between polarimetric observation. First, the reflectivity was corrected by adding the radar energy loss estimated from beam blockage simulation using digital elevation model (DEM) and beam propagation geometry in standard atmosphere. The additional energy loss by unexpected obstacles and non-standard beam propagation was estimated by using the coefficient between accumulated reflectivity ($Z_H$) and differences of differential phase shift (${\Phi}_{DP}$) along radial direction. The proposed method was applied to operational S-band dual-polarization radar at Jindo and its performance was compared with those of simulation method and self-consistency method for six rainfall cases. When the accumulated reflectivity and increment of ${\Phi}_{DP}$ along radial direction are too small, the self-consistency method has failed to correct the reflectivity while the combined method has corrected the reflectivity bias reasonably. The correction based on beam simulation showed the underestimation. For evaluation of rainfall estimation, the FBs (FRMSEs) of simulation method and self-consistency principle were -0.32 (0.59) and -0.30 (0.57), respectively. The proposed method showed the lowest FB (-0.24) and FRMSE (0.50). The FB and FMSE were improved by about 18% and by 19% in comparison to those before correction (-0.42 and 0.70). We can conclude that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of rainfall estimation in PBB area.
