Typhoons are accompanied by strong wind and heavy rains. It causes casualties and property damage on the Korean peninsula every year. The effect of typhoon to daily precipitation should be quantified to prevent the damage of typhoon. Daily precipitation, maximum wind speed and, mean wind speed data was collected from 60 weather stations between 1976 and 2016. The parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution were estimated through the maximum likelihood estimation and the L-moment estimation. The impact of a typhoon can be obtained through a comparison of return levels between the whole data and typhoon excluded data. We conclude that the eastern and southern coastline are exposed to the risk of heavy rainfall which is caused by typhoon.

한반도에 내습하는 태풍의 발생빈도와 강도는 큰 편은 아니나 우리는 거의 해마다 태풍으로 인한 재해를 경험하고 있다. 특히 태풍에 의한 경제적 손실은 1960년대 이후 경제개발과 도시화로 인한 인구과밀지역에서 크게 나타나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 태풍재해의 대책을 수립하는데 필요한 기초자료를 마련하기 위한 방향을 제시하고자, 태풍재해를 유발하는 기상적 요인과 더불어 경제.사회적 조건이 재해의 규모 및 강도에 미치는 기여도가 상당히 크다는 것을 밝히고자 하였다. 한반도에 큰 피해를 남기는 태풍의 진로는 서해를 따라 북진하다가 반도부를 거쳐 동쪽으로 빠져나가는 E경로로서 한반도의 동쪽을 통과하는 진로를 취할 때 보다 더 큰 영향을 끼친다. 재해지역의 공간분포는 대체로 남해안 지역에 집중되어 있다. 태풍재해는 일반적으로 태풍중심에서부터 피해지역가지의 최단거리, 강수량, 최대풍속 등의 기상적 요긴과 피해지역의 토지이용 및 그 지역의 산업구조를 포함하는 사회.경제적 요인 그리고 재해대책수준 및 태풍예보기술 등 다양한 원인에 의해 태풍의 피해의 정도가 결정됨을 태풍재해의 공간분포와 발생요인의 분석결과 알 수 있었다. 침수로 인한 피해는 경남과 전남의 농촌지역에서 넓게 나타나고, 경제적 손실은 대규모의 도시와 공업이 발달된 경남해안지역에 집중되고 있다. 태풍재해의 규모를 저감시키기 위해서는 보다 정확하고 신속한 기상예보기술의 향상을 도모해야 함은 물론 홍수예방시설의 확충과 더불어 GIS 기법을 활용한 방재정보시스템에 기초하는 도시종합방재대책을 수립하도록 해야 할 것이다.

우리나라는 전체 강수량 중 절반 이상이 여름철에 집중되어 있으며, 그 중 전선형 강우와 같은 장마/집중호우와 저기압형 강우인 태풍이 동반하는 강우로 나뉠 수 있다. 태풍은 북태평양 부근에서 발생하며 중심 최대풍속이 17m/s 이상이며 폭풍우를 동반하는 열대성 저기압으로 정의된다. 태풍 관측 이래 우리나라에 영향을 준 태풍은 총 324개 이며, 연평균 3.1개가 영향을 미치고 있다. 태풍은 2010년 콤파스와 뎬무와 같이 많은 피해를 주기도 하지만 2009년과 같이 우리나라에 내습한 태풍이 없는 해도 있다. 이와 같이 태풍은 매 년 일정하게 내습을 하거나 영향을 미치지 않으며 무작위적으로 발생한다. 태풍의 발생확률은 설계강우량에 영향을 미치므로 이를 고려한 설계강우량 산정방법이 필요하며 태풍이 내습한 기간 중 가장 많은 강수량이 연최대치강우와 같아지는 횟수를 전체 자료기간으로 나눈 값을 발생확률로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서는 연최대치강우계열에서 태풍으로 인한 강우와 집중호우에 의한 강우로 분리하여 빈도해석을 실시하여 설계강우량을 산정하였다. 단일 모집단 분포를 이용하는 기존의 빈도해석 방법을 보완할 수 있는 혼합 분포함수를 이용하였다. 적용된 혼합 Gumbel 분포로 태풍 강우를 고려할 시 설계강우량의 변화율 살펴보았다. 대상 지점으로는 기상청에서 제공하고 1961년부터 강우량 자료가 존재하는 15개 지점을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 대구, 울산을 포함한 9개 지점에서 기존의 설계강우량에 비해 증가하였으며, 부산과 광주를 포함한 6개 지점에서 새롭게 추정된 설계강우량이 기존 값 보다 감소하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

To choose appropriate countermeasures against potential coastal disaster damages caused by a storm surge, it is necessary to estimate the frequency of storm surge heights estimation. As the coastal populations size in the past was small, the tropical cyclone risk model (TCRM) was used to generate 176,689 synthetic typhoons. In simulation, historical paths and central pressures were incorporated as a probability density function. Moreover, to consider the typhoon characteristics that resurfaced or decayed after landfall on the southeast coast of China, incorporated the shift angle of the historical typhoon as a function of the probability density function and applied it as a damping parameter. Thus, the passing rate of typhoons moving from the southeast coast of China to the south coast has improved. The characteristics of the typhoon were analyzed from the historical typhoon information using correlations between the central pressure, maximum wind speed ($V_{max}$) and the maximum wind speed radius ($R_{max}$); it was then applied to synthetic typhoons. The storm surges were calculated using the ADCIRC model, considering both tidal and synthetic typhoons using automated Perl script. The storm surges caused by the probabilistic synthetic typhoons appear similar to the recorded storm surges, therefore this proposed scheme can be applied to the storm surge simulations. Based on these results, extreme values were calculated using the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) method, and as a result, the 100-year return period storm surge was found to be satisfactory compared with the calculated empirical simulation value. The method proposed in this study can be applied to estimate the frequency of storm surges in coastal areas.

An ocean buoy was deployed 10 km off Donghae city, Korea at a depth of 130 m to measure meteorological (air pressure, air temperature, wind speed, wind gust, wind direction, relative humidity) and oceanographic data (water properties and currents in the whole column) in real-time. The buoy recorded a maximum wind gust of 25 m/s (10 minutes' average speed of 20 m/s) and a minimum air pressure of 980 hPa when the eye of typhoon Maemi passed by near the Uljin city, Korea at 03:00 on 13 September 2003. The wave height reached maximum of 9 m with the significant wave height of 4 m at 04:00 (1 hour after the passage of Maemi). The currents measured near the surface reached up to about 100 cm/s at 13:00 (10 hours after the passage of Maemi). The mixed layer (high temperature and low salinity) thickness, which was accompanied by strong southward current, gradually increased from 20 m to 40 m during the 10 hours. A simple two layer model for the response to an impulsive alongshore wind over an uniformly sloping bottom developed by Csanady (1984) showed reasonable estimates of alongshore and offshore currents and interface displacement for the condition of typhoon Maemi at the buoy position (x=8.15 km) during the 10 hours.

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of disaster associated with typhoon passed through the sea areas excluding the South Sea around the Korean Peninsula. First, Korean peninsula-affecting typhoons were divided into their track patterns of passing through the Korean West Sea and East Sea based on typhoon data from 1951 to 2006 provided by Regional Specialized Meteorological Center(RSMC)-Tokyo. Then, annual and monthly frequency and intensity of typhoon in each pattern was examined. In particular, typhoon related damages during the period of 1973 to 2006 were analyzed in each case. Results showed that since early 1970, in the West Sea case, typhoon becomes weaker without significant change in frequency, while in the East Sea case, it becomes stronger with an increasing trend. It is also found that the high amount of typhoon damage results from the submergence of houses and farmlands in the East Sea case, while it is due to the breakdown of houses, ships, roads and bridges in the West Sea case. In addition, it is revealed from the analysis of rainfall and maximum wind speed data associated with typhoon disasters that the main cause of occurring typhoon disasters seem to be qualitatively related to strong wind in the West Sea case and heavy rainfall in the East Sea case.

In this study, we analyzed the water temperature variability in the sea area of the Korean Peninsula in August, before and after the typhoon inflow through Typhoon Soulik, the 19th in 2018 that turned right around the Korean Peninsula and passed through the East Sea, and Typhoon Bavi, the eighth in 2020 that advanced north and passed through the Yellow Sea. The data used in this study included the water temperature data recorded in the real-time information system for aquaculture environment provided by the National Institute of Fisheries Science, wind data near the water as recorded by the automatic weather system, and water temperature data provided by the NOAA/AVHRR satellite. According to the analysis, when typhoons with different movement paths passed through the Korean Peninsula, the water temperature in the East Sea repeatedly upwelled (northern winds) and downwelled (southern winds) depending on the wind speed and direction. In particular, when Typhoon Soulik passed through the East sea, the water temperature dropped sharply by around 10 ℃. When Typhoon Bavi passed through the center of the Yellow Sea, the water temperature rose in certain observed areas of the Yellow Sea and even in certain areas of the South Sea. Warmer water flowed into cold water regions owing to the movement of Typhoon Bavi, causing water temperature to rise. The water temperature appeared to have recovered to normal. By understanding the water temperature variability in the sea area of the Korean Peninsula caused by typhoons, this research is expected to minimize the negative effects of abnormal climate on aquaculture organisms and contribute to the formulation of damage response strategies for fisheries disasters in sea areas.
