The storm water management and drainage relation are the key variable that plays a vital role on hydrological design and risk analysis. These require knowledge about spatial variability over a specified area. Generally, design rainfall values are expressed from the fixed point rainfall, which is depth at a specific location. Concurrently, determine the areal rainfall amount is also very important. Therefore, a spatial rainfall interpolation (point rainfall converting to areal rainfall) can be solved by areal reduction factor (ARF) estimation. In mainland of South Korea, for dam design and its operation, public safety, other surface water projects concerned about ARF for extreme hydrological events. In spite of the long term average rainfall (2,061 mm) and increasing extreme rainfall events, ARF estimation is also essential for Jeju Island's water control structures. To meet up this purpose, five fixed rainfall stations of automatic weather stations (AWS) near the "Hancheon Stream Watershed" area has been considered and more than 50 years of high quality rainfall data have been analyzed for estimating design rainfall. The relationship approach for the 24 hour design storm is assessed based on ARF. Furthermore, this presentation will provide an outline of ARF standards that can be used to assist the decision makers and water resources engineers for other streams of Jeju Island.

ARF(Areal Reduction Factor) have been developed and used to convert point I-D-F to areal I-D-F in many countries. In Korea, through ARF was calculated in Han river basin by several researchers, it has limit to apply to other regions \ulcorner 새 low density of rainfall gauge station and shortage of data. In this study ARF has developed in areas of high density of rainfall gauge station, Pyungchang river(han river), Wi stream(nakdong river), and Bochung stream(Guem river) basin by fixed-area method. And coefficient of variation of annual mean precipitation was presented to use ARF in othere areas and its applicability was analyzed.

Areal Reduction Factor(ARF) has been developed and used to convert point Rainfall intensity-Duration-Frequency(I-D-F) to areal I-D-F in many countries. In Korea, though ARF was estimated in Han river basin by several researchers, it has some limitations to apply to other regions due to low denisity of rainfall gauging station and shortage of data. In this study ARF has been developed in area of relatively high density of rainfall gauging station, i.e., Pyungchang river(Han river), Wi stream(Nakdong river), and Bochung stream(Guem river) basin by geographically fixed-area method. And coefficient of variation of mean annual precipitation was presented to use ARE in other areas and its applicability was analyzed.

In this study, we calculated the fixed-type Areal Reduction Factor (ARF) of the Hancheon River basin in Jeju Island, and compared the calculated ARF and the ARF of the four major river basins suggested by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. As a result, the maximum fluctuation ratios of ARF for the four major river basins calculated using area, frequency, and initial duration time were significant: 7.61% for the Hangang River basin; 12.69% for the Nakdonggang River basin; 8.09% for the Kumgang River basin; and 17.98% for the Yeongsangang River basin. In addition, the differences between the maximum and minimum value of ARF for the Hancheon River basin based on 48 hours was 2.13%, and it was smaller than the one for the four major river basins: 8.92% for the Hangang River basin; 11.41% for the Nakdonggang River basin; 8.87% for the Kumgang River basin; and 17.17% for the Yeongsangang River basin. The Yeongsangang River basin had the highest difference.

This study proposes a new methodology to derive the areal reduction factor (ARF) using mixed probability density functions. Estimation of ARFs requires using the simultaneous rainfall data over the basin, which is rarely available in general. The new methodology Proposed in this study uses more available daily rainfall data during a given period, so the mixed probability density functions should be introduced to explain both the rainfall intermittency and variability. This study applied the mixed gamma distribution for the derivation of ARFs for the Keum river basin, and found that the new method is easier for application as well as it provides very comparable results.

Rainfall-runoff model is usually used in estimating the design flood, and the most important elements in this model are probable rainfall and unit hydrograph. So, it is the most important step to estimate probable rainfall reasonably and exactly. If a basin area exceeds a certain scale, probable areal rainfall should be used as probable rainfall, but, Probable point- mean rainfall be usually used in Korea. Consequently, probable rainfall is used too high and unit hydrograph is used relatively too low. Thus the improvement is unavoidable. So, in this study, the parameters are proposed that transform the 1day, 2day rainfall to 24hr, 48hr rainfall, and areal rainfall data series are composed by using the same time rainfall data. Also, the areal reduction factor(ARF) is developed as the increase of area by the calculated probable point mean rainfall and probable areal rainfall by frequency analysis in Han-River basin. It can be the measure to easily transform probable point- mean rainfall to probable areal rainfall.

설계홍수량 산정시 인력자료로 이용되는 확률강우량은 동시간 강우에 의한 감소효과가 고려된 면적평균확률강우량이어야 하며, 이는 지점평균확률강우량에 면적감소계수를 곱하여 산정하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 유역의 시${\cdot}$공간적 특성이 반영되도록 면적감소계수(Areal Reduction Factor, ARF)를 산정하여 특정유역에 적용할 수 있도록 제시하였다. 현재 우리나라에서 사용하고 있는 면적감소계수는 대부분 면적고정형 방법을 이용하여 산정한 한강유역의 면적감소계수로, 유역 특성 및 강우 특성이 다른 중${\cdot}$소규모하천에 적용이 어려운 실정이다. 이에 중규모 하천인 삽교천의 면적감소계수를 산정하고, 중요한 요소의 하나인 면적 증분방향에 대한 기준을 제시하고자 하였으며, 면적 증분방향과 관측소간의 영향을 시${\cdot}$공간적으로 분석함으로써 유역에 적합한 면적감소계수산정방법에 대한 바람직한 방향을 제시할 수 있었다.

By analyzing the concurrent rainfall data from rainfall gauges positioned in the Youngsan River basin, the areal reduction factors related to the rainfall characteristics of the Youngsan River basin are estimated. The estimated values are compared with the values of the Han River basin, and show that the rate of decrease of the areal reduction factors of the Youngsan River basin are smaller than those of the Han River basin as the basin area is increasing. That is especially true for short-term duration storm events. These findings reveal that the spatial variations in the Youngsan River basin's storms are smaller than the spatial variations of the storms In the Han River basin, due to the size of the two basin areas in addition to the topological characteristics that affect the rainfall distributions.

ARF(Areal Reduction Factor, 면적우량감소계수)는 지점강우량을 면적 평균 강우량으로 변환하는 환산계수로 정의되며, 유역의 지형학적 특성과 강우의 공간적 분포특성을 반영한 유역단위의 ARF의 개발이 요구된다. 하지만 국내의 ARF는 대부분 한강유역을 대상으로 하고 있어 한강유역과 지형학적, 수문 기상학적 특징이 상이한 유역에 대하여 연구 결과를 적용하기는 많은 제약이 따를 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 남강댐 유역의 ARF를 산정하기 위해 7개의 강우관측소(산청, 삼가, 신안, 안의, 운봉, 태수, 함양)로부터 시강우자료(1990년~2010년)를 수집한 후 14개의 재현기간, 6개의 지속시간에 대한 지수형 ARF 회귀식을 산정하였다. 그 결과 남강댐 유역의 지수형 ARF 회귀식의 결정계수는 0.80~0.99로 높은 상관성을 나타내었다. 그리고 남강댐 유역의 ARF와 첨두홍수량의 관계를 분석하기 위해 남강댐 유역내의 산청유역을 대상으로 재현기간 100년, 지속시간 24시간에 대한 홍수량을 모의하였다. 그 결과 ARF의 적용 전 후의 첨두홍수량은 10% 이상 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 남강댐 유역의 기상학적 특성을 고려한 첨두홍수량 산정을 위해서는 본 연구에서 제안한 ARF 회귀식이 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

The Fixed Area ARFs (Area Reduction Factors) method has limitations in providing exact information about spatial distribution due to the lack of enough density of rain gauge stations. In this study the storm-centered ARF was evaluated between frontal and typhoon storm events utilizing radar precipitation. In estimating storm-centered ARFs, in order to consider the horizontal advection, direction, and spatial distribution of rain cells, the rotational angle of rainfall of each rainfall event and the optimum areal rainfall within the spatial rain cell envelope was taken into account. Compared with the frontal storm, the ARF of typhoon storm shows narrow range of variability. It is noted that the ARFs of frontal storm increases with the rainfall duration, but those of typhoon storm shows opposite pattern. As a result the typhoon ARFs appear greater than frontal ARFs for 1~3 hours of duration, but less for more than 6 hours of duration.
