In this study, we introduce design methodology to develop a guidance for issuing heavy rainfall warning by using both RBFNNs(Radial basis function neural networks) and SVR(Support vector regression) model, and then carry out the comparative studies between two pattern classifiers. Individual classifiers are designed as architecture realized with the aid of optimization and pre-processing algorithm. Because the predictive performance of the existing heavy rainfall forecast system is commonly affected from diverse processing techniques of meteorological data, under-sampling method as the pre-processing method of input data is used, and also data discretization and feature extraction method for SVR and FCM clustering and PSO method for RBFNNs are exploited respectively. The observed data, AWS(Automatic weather wtation), supplied from KMA(korea meteorological administration), is used for training and testing of the proposed classifiers. The proposed classifiers offer the related information to issue a heavy rain warning in advance before 1 to 3 hours by using the selected meteorological data and the cumulated precipitation amount accumulated for 1 to 12 hours from AWS data. For performance evaluation of each classifier, ETS(Equitable Threat Score) method is used as standard verification method for predictive ability. Through the comparative studies of two classifiers, neuro-fuzzy method is effectively used for improved performance and to show stable predictive result of guidance to issue heavy rainfall warning.

This paper evaluates precipitation forecast skill of Global/Regional Integrated Model system (GRIMs) over South Korea in a boreal winter from December 2013 to February 2014. Three types of precipitation are classified based on development mechanism: 1) convection type (C type), 2) low pressure type (L type), and 3) orographic type (O type), in which their frequencies are 44.4%, 25.0%, and 30.6%, respectively. It appears that the model significantly overestimates precipitation occurrence (0.1 mm d^-1) for all types of winter precipitation. Objective measured skill scores of GRIMs are comparably high for L type and O type. Except for precipitation occurrence, the model shows high predictability for L type precipitation with the most unbiased prediction. It is noted that Equitable Threat Score (ETS) is inappropriate for measuring rare events due to its high dependency on the sample size, as in the case of Critical Success Index as well. The Symmetric Extreme Dependency Score (SEDS) demonstrates less sensitivity on the number of samples. Thus, SEDS is used for the evaluation of prediction skill to supplement the limit of ETS. The evaluation via SEDS shows that the prediction skill score for L type is the highest in the range of 5.0, 10.0 mm d^-1 and the score for O type is the highest in the range of 1.0, 20.0 mm d^-1. C type has the lowest scores in overall range. The difference in precipitation forecast skill by precipitation type can be explained by the spatial distribution and intensity of precipitation in each representative case.

The UK Met Office Unified Model at the KMA has been operationally utilized as the next generation numerical prediction system since 2010 after it was first introduced in May, 2008. Researches need to be carried out regarding various physical processes inside the model in order to improve the predictability of the newly introduced Unified Model. We first performed a preliminary experiment for the domain ($170{\times}170$, 10 km, 38 layers) smaller than that of the operating system using the version 7.4 of the UM local model to optimize its physical processes. The result showed that about 7~8% of the improvement ratio was found at each stage by integrating four factors (u, v, th, q), and the final improvement ratio was 25%. Verification was carried out for one month of August, 2008 by applying the optimized combination to the domain identical to the operating system, and the result showed that the precipitation verification score (ETS, equitable threat score) was improved by 9%, approximately.

Numerical weather prediction experiments were carried out by applying topographic effects to reduce or enhance the solar radiation by terrain. In this study, x and ${\kappa}({\phi}_o,\;{\theta}_o)$ are precalculated for topographic effect on high resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) with 1 km spatial resolution, and meteorological variables are analyzed through the numerical experiments. For the numerical simulations, cases were selected in winter (CASE 1) and summer (CASE 2). In the CASE 2, topographic effect was observed on the southward surface to enhance the solar energy reaching the surface, and enhance surface temperature and temperature at 2 m. Especially, the surface temperature is changed sensitively due to the change of the solar energy on the surface, but the change of the precipitation is difficult to match of topographic effect. As a result of the verification using Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) Automated Weather System (AWS) data on Seoul metropolitan area, the topographic effect is very weak in the winter case. In the CASE 1, the improvement of accuracy was numerically confirmed by decreasing the bias and RMSE (Root mean square error) of temperature at 2 m, wind speed at 10 m and relative humidity. However, the accuracy of rainfall prediction (Threat score (TS), BIAS, equitable threat score (ETS)) with topographic effect is decreased compared to without topographic effect. It is analyzed that the topographic effect improves the solar radiation on surface and affect the enhancements of surface temperature, 2 meter temperature, wind speed, and PBL height.

In order to assimilate MHS satellite data into the convective scale model at KMA, ATOVS data are reprocessed to utilize the original high-resolution data. And then to improve the preprocessing experiments for cloud detection were performed and optimized to convective-scale model. The experiment which is land scattering index technique added to Observational Processing System to remove contaminated data showed the best result. The analysis fields with assimilation of MHS are verified against with ECMWF analysis fields and fit to other observations including Sonde, which shows improved results on relative humidity fields at sensitive level (850-300 hPa). As the relative humidity of upper troposphere increases, the bias and RMSE of geopotential height are decreased. This improved initial field has a very positive effect on the forecast performance of the model. According to improvement of model field, the Equitable Threat Score (ETS) of precipitation prediction of $1{\sim}20mm\;hr^{-1}$ was increased and this impact was maintained for 27 hours during experiment periods.

국가농림기상센터(NCAM)에서는 수요자 맞춤형 영농 영림을 지원하기 위하여 전용 수치모델링시스템인 지면대기모델링패키지(LAMP) 버전 1을 구축하였다. 이 패키지는 두 가지의 큰 축으로 구성되어 있다. 하나는 WRF 기상모델과 Noah-MP 지면모델의 결합시스템인 WRF/Noah-MP 시스템이고, 다른 하나는 Noah-MP 지면 모델의 오프라인 독립구동형 1차원 버전이다. 전자는 7일 이상의 중기 기상예측 자료를 1km 내외의 고해상도로 생산하는 일을 담당하고, 후자는 대표적인 농림생태계에 대하여 1년 지면모의 자료를 15분 간격으로 생산하는 일을 담당한다. 본 연구의 목적은 NCAM-LAMP의 두 구성 요소를 간단히 설명하고, 초기의 수치모의 성능을 평가하는데 있다. WRF/Noah-MP 결합시스템은 동아시아를 포함하는 어미격자 도메인에 최고 810m의 수평 해상도를 갖는 3개의 둥지격자로 구축되었으며, 가장 안쪽 도메인은 광릉 활엽수림 관측지와 침엽수림 관측지(GDK 및 GCK)를 포함한다. 이 결합시스템은 현재 미국 환경예측센터의 FNL 자료를 초기 및 경계자료로 이용하여 구동되며, 여러 개의 약 8일 모의 결과를 연결시켜 장기간에 대한 모의 자료를 생산하였다. 정량적 검증 변수는 WRF/Noah-MP 결합시스템의 2m 기온, 10m 바람, 2m 습도, 강수이며, 기상청 ASOS 관측 자료와 WRF/Noah-MP 결합시스템 모의 자료 사이의 차이를 이용하여 각 도메인에서 동적 식생 포함 유무에 따른 모의 오차를 계산하였다. 강수 모의의 정확도는 탐지확률(POD)과 공평위협점수(ETS)로 구성된 표를 이용하여 조사하였다. 오프라인 독립구동형 지면모델은 1년 기간에 대해 모의 결과를 생산하였으며, KoFlux 관측자료와 비교하여, 순복사 플럭스, 현열 플럭스, 잠열 플럭스 및 토양 수분 함량을 평가하였다. WRF/Noah-MP 결합시스템의 모의 결과에 따르면, 모든 도메인 중에서 도메인 4(810m 해상도)에서 2m 기온, 10m 바람 및 2m 습도에 대하여 가장 작은 RMSE를 보였다. 동적 식생을 포함시키면 모든 도메인에서 10m 바람의 모의 오차가 감소하게 되는 경향을 보였다. 도메인 2(7,290m 해상도)에서는 강수 모의 점수가 가장 높았으나, 동적 식생을 포함시킴에 따른 효과는 별로 없었다. 독립구동형 1차원 Noah-MP의 지면모의 결과는 복사 플럭스와 토양 수분의 패턴 및 크기를 포착하였으며, 엽면적지수의 모델 입력 부분을 보충하고, 모델 물리과정의 적절한 조합을 찾아내는 노력을 통해 개선될 수 있는 여지를 남겼다.
