Drought forecasting is crucial to minimize the damage to food security and water resources caused by drought. Satellite-based drought research has been conducted since 1980s, which includes drought monitoring, assessment, and prediction. Unlike numerous studies on drought monitoring and assessment for the past few decades, satellite-based drought forecasting has gained popularity in recent years. For successful drought forecasting, it is necessary to carefully identify the relationships between drought factors and drought conditions by drought type and lead time. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research trends and challenges for satellite-based drought forecasts focusing on lead times. Based on the recent literature survey during the past decade, the satellite-based drought forecasting studies were divided into three groups by lead time (i.e., short-term, sub-seasonal, and seasonal) and reviewed with the characteristics of the predictors (i.e., drought factors) and predictands (i.e., drought indices). Then, three major challenges-difficulty in model generalization, model resolution and feature selection, and saturation of forecasting skill improvement-were discussed, which led to provide several future research directions of satellite-based drought forecasting.

Forecasting future drought events in a region plays a major role in water management and risk assessment of drought occurrences. The creeping characteristics of drought make it possible to mitigate drought's effects with accurate forecasting models. Drought forecasts are inevitably plagued by uncertainties, making it necessary to derive forecasts in a probabilistic framework. In this study, a new probabilistic scheme is proposed to forecast droughts, in which a discrete-time finite state-space hidden Markov model (HMM) is used aggregated with the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP) precipitation projection (HMM-RCP). The 3-month standardized precipitation index (SPI) is employed to assess the drought severity over the selected five stations in South Kore. A reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is used for inference on the model parameters which includes several hidden states and the state specific parameters. We perform an RCP precipitation projection transformed SPI (RCP-SPI) weight-corrected post-processing for the HMM-based drought forecasting to derive a probabilistic forecast that considers uncertainties. Results showed that the HMM-RCP forecast mean values, as measured by forecasting skill scores, are much more accurate than those from conventional models and a climatology reference model at various lead times over the study sites. In addition, the probabilistic forecast verification technique, which includes the ranked probability skill score and the relative operating characteristic, is performed on the proposed model to check the performance. It is found that the HMM-RCP provides a probabilistic forecast with satisfactory evaluation for different drought severity categories, even with a long lead time. The overall results indicate that the proposed HMM-RCP shows a powerful skill for probabilistic drought forecasting.

Drought is a global phenomenon that affects almost all landscapes and causes major damages. Due to non-linear nature of contributing factors, drought occurrence and its severity is characterized as stochastic in nature. Early warning of impending drought can aid in the development of drought mitigation strategies and measures. Thus, drought forecasting is crucial in the planning and management of water resource systems. The primary objective of this study is to make improvement is existing drought forecasting techniques. Therefore, we proposed an improved version of Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model (MD-SARIMA) for reliable drought forecasting with three years lead time. In this study, we selected four watersheds of Han River basin in South Korea to validate the performance of MD-SARIMA model. The meteorological data from 8 rain gauge stations were collected for the period 1973-2016 and converted into watershed scale using Thiessen's polygon method. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was employed to represent the meteorological drought at seasonal (3-month) time scale. The performance of MD-SARIMA model was compared with existing models such as Seasonal Naive Bayes (SNB) model, Exponential Smoothing (ES) model, Trigonometric seasonality, Box-Cox transformation, ARMA errors, Trend and Seasonal components (TBATS) model, and SARIMA model. The results showed that all the models were able to forecast drought, but the performance of MD-SARIMA was robust then other statistical models with Wilmott Index (WI) = 0.86, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) = 0.66, and Root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.80 for 36 months lead time forecast. The outcomes of this study indicated that the MD-SARIMA model can be utilized for drought forecasting.

Spring drought forecasting in South Korea is essential due to the sknewness of rainfall which could lead to water shortage especially in spring when managed without prediction. Therefore, drought forecasting over South Korea was performed in the current study by thoroughly searching appropriate predictors from the lagged global climate variable, mean sea level pressure(MSLP), specifically in winter season for forecasting time lag. The target predictand defined as accumulated spring precipitation(ASP) was driven by the median of 93 weather stations in South Korea. Then, it was found that a number of points of the MSLP data were significantly cross-correlated with the ASP, and the points with high correlation were regionally grouped. The grouped variables with three regions: the Arctic Ocean (R1), South Pacific (R2), and South Africa (R3) were determined. The generalized linear model(GLM) was further applied for skewed marginal distribution in drought prediction. It was shown that the applied GLM presents reasonable performance in forecasting ASP. The results concluded that the presented regionalization of the climate variable, MSLP can be a good alternative in forecasting spring drought.

In this study, the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) of meteorological drought and SDI (Streamflow Drought Index) of hydrological drought for 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months duration were estimated to analyse the characteristics of drought using rainfall and dam inflow data for Chungju dam ($6,661.8km^2$) with 31 years (1986-2016) and Boryeong dam ($163.6km^2$) watershed with 19 years (1998-2016) respectively. Using the estimated SPI and SDI, the drought forecasting was conducted using seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model for the 5 durations. For 2016 drought, the SARIMA had a good results for 3 and 6 months. For the 3 months SARIMA forecasting of SPI and SDI, the correlation coefficient of SPI3, SPI6, SPI12, SDI1, and SDI6 at Chungju Dam showed 0.960, 0.990, 0.999, 0.868, and 0.846, respectively. Also, for same duration forecasting of SPI and SDI at Boryeong Dam, the correlation coefficient of SPI3, SPI6, SDI3, SDI6, and SDI12 showed 0.999, 0.994, 0.999, 0.880, and 0.992, respectively. The SARIMA model showed the possibility to provide the future short-term SPI meteorological drought and the resulting SDI hydrological drought.

최근 우리나라에서 빈번하게 발생되는 가뭄으로 인하여 많은 피해가 발생하고 있으며, 이에 대한 사전대응의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 가뭄에 대한 효과적인 사전대응을 위해서는 신뢰성 있는 가뭄 예측 정보가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 수문학적 가뭄에 대한 확률론적 예측을 수행하기 위하여 가뭄의 전이현상을 베이지안 네트워크 모형에 반영하였다. 가뭄의 전이현상을 고려한 베이지안 네트워크 기반의 가뭄 예측 모형(PBNDF)은 과거, 현재, 미래에 대한 다중 모형 앙상블 예측결과와 가뭄전이 관계를 결합하여 새로운 수문학적 가뭄 예측 결과를 생산하도록 구축되었다. 본 연구에서 PBNDF 모형은 파머수문학적 가뭄지수를 활용하여 낙동강 유역의 10개 지점을 대상으로 가뭄을 확률적으로 예측하는데 적용되었다. PBNDF 모형의 ROC 분석 결과 ROC 점수가 0.5 이상의 유의한 결과를 나타내 실제 예측 모형으로 활용가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 기존에 개발된 모형(지속성 예측, 베이지안 네트워크 예측 모형)과 평균제곱오차의 제곱근(RMSE), 기술 점수(SS)를 활용하여 비교를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 PBNDF 모형의 RMSE는 상대적으로 낮은 값을 가지며, SS는 약 0.1~0.15 정도 높은 것으로 나타나 예측성능이 향상되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

장기간의 가뭄에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 유역에 적합한 가뭄관리 대책의 수립과 함께 미래에 발생하게 될 가뭄을 미리 예측할 수 있는 기술이 구축되어야 한다. 또한 미래의 가뭄에 대한 합리적 대응 방안을 수립하기 위해서는 가뭄의 지속기간(duration)과 심도(severity)의 정량적인 예측이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수문 시계열의 예측에 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 대표적인 통계학적 기법인 인공신경망 모형(Artificial Neural Network Model)과 가뭄지수를 이용하여 남한지역의 서울, 대전, 대구, 광주 등의 4개 기상관측소를 선정하여 가뭄예측을시도하였다. 가뭄 예측을 위하여 남한지역 내 선정한 기상관측소의 관측된 과거 강수량 자료를 이용하여 산정된 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)를 입력변수로 하여 다층 퍼셉트론(Multi Layer Perceptron) 인공신경망 모델에 적용하였으며, 매개변수 보정을 위한 학습기간으로 1976~2000년과 2001~2010년을 예측을 위한 검증기간으로 선정하여, 학습 및 예측을 시도하였다. 학습된 최적의 예측모형을 이용하여 서로 다른 선행예보시간(1~6개월)을 갖고 SPI (3), SPI (6), SPI (12)별로 가뭄을 예측하였으며, 가뭄예측 결과, SPI (3)의 경우에는 1개월 선행예보에서만 좋은 결과를 나타내었으며, SPI (6)의 경우 1~3개월 후의 가뭄을 예측하는 경우에 비교적 관측자료와 잘 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다. SPI (12)의 경우에는 약5개월 후까지의 가뭄예측에 양호한 결과를 나타내었다.

Drought events usually evolve slowly in time and their impacts generally span a long period of time. This indicates that the sequence of drought is not completely random. The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a probabilistic model used to represent dependences between invisible hidden states which finally result in observations. Drought characteristics are dependent on the underlying generating mechanism, which can be well modelled by the HMM. This study employed a HMM with Gaussian emissions to fit the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) series and make multi-step prediction to check the drought characteristics in the future. To estimate the parameters of the HMM, we employed a Bayesian model computed via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Since the true number of hidden states is unknown, we fit the model with varying number of hidden states and used reversible jump to allow for transdimensional moves between models with different numbers of states. We applied the HMM to several stations SPI data in South Korea. The monthly SPI data from January 1973 to December 2012 was divided into two parts, the first 30-year SPI data (January 1973 to December 2002) was used for model calibration and the last 10-year SPI data (January 2003 to December 2012) for model validation. All the SPI data was preprocessed through the wavelet denoising and applied as the visible output in the HMM. Different lead time (T= 1, 3, 6, 12 months) forecasting performances were compared with conventional forecasting techniques (e.g., ANN and ARMA). Based on statistical evaluation performance, the HMM exhibited significant preferable results compared to conventional models with much larger forecasting skill score (about 0.3-0.6) and lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values (about 0.5-0.9).
