The climate of the $21^{st}$ century is likely to be significantly different from that of the 20th century because of human-induced climate change. An extreme weather event is defined as a climate phenomenon that has not been observed for the past 30 years and that may have occurred by climate change and climate variability. The abnormal climate change can induce natural disasters such as floods, droughts, typhoons, heavy snow, etc. How will the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events be affected by the global warming change in the $21^{st}$ century? This could be a quite interesting matter of concern to the hydrologists who will forecast the extreme weather events for preventing future natural disasters. In this study, we establish the extreme indices and analyze the trend of extreme weather events using extreme indices estimated from the observed data of 66 stations controlled by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) in Korea. These analyses showed that spatially coherent and statistically significant changes in the extreme events of temperature and rainfall have occurred. Under the global climate change, Korea, unlike in the past, is now being affected by extreme weather events such as heavy rain and abnormal temperatures in addition to changes in climate phenomena.

The extreme weather events have increased around the world this century. One of the main reasons of frequent occurrence is the change of atmospheric circulation by El nino. also Korea Peninsular is not exception. The 97 % of death toll and 89 % of property loss of total are related with extreme-weather events for the last 10 years. for example the heavy rainfall (1998-4999) and Typhoon Rusa and Mamie. In spite of the percent of death toll by extreme-weather disaster is increasing and the total population is growing. but the number of death toll from natural disasters is decreasing. It shows that the loss of property and life can be minimize by preparing the proper disaster prevention measures. There are several preparations to reduce the damage by extreme-weather events: Public facilities have overall check up, to recognize the weather alert, the awareness of the escape route and the art of measures

The frequency of extreme weather events was analyzed using meteorological data (air temperature, precipitation, and duration of sunshine) collected from 61 stations over a 36-year span (1981-2016). The 10-day meteorological data were used as a basic unit for this analysis. On average, the frequency of occurrence of abnormal weather was 9.88 per year and has increased significantly during this 36-year period. According to the type of abnormal weather, the frequencies of occurrence of abnormally high air temperature and short duration of sunshine have increased by 0.50 and 0.41 per 10 years, respectively; however, that for abnormally low air temperature has decreased by 0.31 per 10 years and the trend was statistically significant. The highest frequency of abnormal weather appeared in 2007, with a frequency of 14.31. Abnormal weather was the most frequent at Yeongdeok station with an average frequency of 11.78 per year over this 36-year span.

전 세계적으로 기후변화, 이상기후와 과거에는 경험하지 못했던 극한 사상이 미래에는 어떠한 크기와 출현빈도를 가지고 공간적 분포가 변화하게 될지 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그러나 이들 사상은 일정한 지역 또는 규칙적인 패턴이나 주기를 따르지 않아 그 빈도와 경향성을 정량적으로 평가하기에는 무리가 있다. 본 연구에서는 극한 사상을 보다 객관적으로 평가하기 위하여 강우 관련 극한 지수(STARDEX, 2005)를 제시하였다. 현재와 미래 극한 사상의 시공간적 분포를 비교하기 위하여 우리나라 전역에 위치한 기상청 산하 66개 관측소의 과거 자료로부터 각 지수들을 산정하여 현재까지의 경향성을 분석하고, SRES B2시나리오와 YONU CGCM으로부터 모의된 2045s(2031-2050)자료를 이용하여 미래의 극한 사상의 각 지수별 차이를 산정한 후 그 경향성을 공간적으로 나타내었다. 그 결과 여름철에는 동서 방향으로 내륙 전반에 걸쳐 강우량 증가 경향성을 보였으며 가을철에는 강원도 일부 지역과 남해안 지역을 중심으로 경향성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 강우 발생이나 집중 시기와 대별되는 건조 지속기간 분석 결과에서는 여름철보다 가을철 상승 경향성이 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 제주도와 해안부근에서 증가 경향성이 뚜렷하였다.

Extreme temperatures and precipitations are expected to be more frequently occurring due to the ongoing global warming over the Korean Peninsula. However, few studies have analyzed the synoptic weather patterns associated with extreme events in a warming world. Here, the atmospheric patterns related to future extreme events are first analyzed using the HadGEM3-RA regional climate model. Simulations showed that the variability of temperature and precipitation will increase in the future (2051-2100) compared to the present (1981-2005), accompanying the more frequent occurrence of extreme events. Warm advection from East China and lower latitudes, a stagnant anticyclone, and local foehn wind are responsible for the extreme temperature (daily T>$38^{\circ}C$) episodes in Korea. The extreme precipitation cases (>$500mm\;day^{-1}$) were mainly caused by mid-latitude cyclones approaching the Korean Peninsula, along with the enhanced Changma front by supplying water vapor into the East China Sea. These future synoptic-scale features are similar to those of present extreme events. Therefore, our results suggest that, in order to accurately understand future extreme events, we should consider not only the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gases or aerosol increases, but also small-scale topographic conditions and the internal variations of climate systems.

In South Korea, annual maximum precipitation often occurs in association with mature typhoons in the western Pacific and from summer monsoon rains. In addition, certain years have no significant typhoon activity. Therefore, the characteristics of frequency distributions differ between extreme typhoons and monsoon events. Those extremes are also influenced from climate conditions in a different way. Application of nonstationary frequency analysis to the AMP data combined with typhoon and monsoon events might not always be reasonable. Therefore, we propose a novel approach of nonstationary frequency analysis to integrate extreme events of AMP induced from two main sources such as typhoons and monsoon in the current study. In this way, we were able to model the nonstationarity of extreme events from tropical storms and monsoon separately.

Medium-range forecast is highly dependent on ensemble forecast data. However, operational weather forecasters have not enough time to digest all of detailed features revealed in ensemble forecast data. To utilize the ensemble data effectively in medium-range forecasting, representative weather patterns in East Asia in this study are defined. The k-means clustering analysis is applied for the objectivity of weather patterns. Input data used daily Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) anomaly of the ECMWF ReAnalysis-Interim (ERA-Interim) during 1981~2010 (30 years) provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Using the Explained Variance (EV), the optimal study area is defined by 20~60°N, 100~150°E. The number of clusters defined by Explained Cluster Variance (ECV) is thirty (k = 30). 30 representative weather patterns with their frequencies are summarized. Weather pattern #1 occurred all seasons, but it was about 56% in summer (June~September). The relatively rare occurrence of weather pattern (#30) occurred mainly in winter. Additionally, we investigate the relationship between weather patterns and extreme weather events such as heat wave, cold wave, and heavy rainfall as well as snowfall. The weather patterns associated with heavy rainfall exceeding 110 mm day^-1 were #1, #4, and #9 with days (%) of more than 10%. Heavy snowfall events exceeding 24 cm day^-1 mainly occurred in weather pattern #28 (4%) and #29 (6%). High and low temperature events (> 34℃ and < -14℃) were associated with weather pattern #1~4 (14~18%) and #28~29 (27~29%), respectively. These results suggest that the classification of various weather patterns will be used as a reference for grouping all ensemble forecast data, which will be useful for the scenario-based medium-range ensemble forecast in the future.

기상조건은 농업에 영향을 미치는 주요 환경요인이며, 특히 이상기상의 발생은 작물의 성장 및 작황에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 이상기상으로 인한 농업적 피해를 줄이기 위해 관측을 바탕으로 한 이상기상의 발생 빈도 분석 및 통계자료가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 30m 및 270m 해상도의 고해상도 소기후 모형을 통해 상세화된 3종의 주요 기상변수(기온, 강수, 일사량)를 이용해, 남한의 167개 시·군의 1981년부터 2019년 동안 발생한 이상기상 발생에 대한 통계자료를 소개하였다. 소기후 모형을 통해 추정된 167개 시·군 이상기상 현상 발생 특징은 기상청의 종관 기상 관측자료와 비교해 보았을 때 전국적인 분포 및 변화 경향을 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 기상청 종관 기상 관측 시스템에서 관측하지 못하는 지역의 기상까지 반영한 고해상도의 자료를 활용하였으므로 해당 시·군의 이상기상을 더욱 현실적으로 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 소개하는 시·군별 이상기상 통계자료는 농업 부문의 기상재해 취약성 평가 및 피해 저감을 위한 정책 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study examines the impact of severe weather on lean supply chains. First, this paper reviewed the literature on the disruptions and damages that severe weather events cause on supply chain. Then, several recent examples of lean supply chain disruptions due to severe weather were discussed. The results of the study indicated that the frequency of weather related disasters is increasing and extreme weather events will increase potential risks to supply chains. First, building organizational resilience will help firms look beyond efficiency and profits in managing lean supply chains. Second, the concept of sole sourcing may need rethinking to maintain a supply chain that is lean and resilient. Third, organizations must plan ahead for supply chains in unpredictable weather. Fifth, communication is a key for anticipating and avoiding the impact of severe weather. This study proposes of a set of strategies, both theoretical and practical, that business firms should develop to effectively prevent and respond to severe weather related disruptions in lean supply chains.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 여름철 극한강수현상 발생의 시 공간적 특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 분석에 사용된 자료는 최근 10년간(2002~2011년) 기상청 산하 전국 약 360여개 방재기상관측장비 및 종관기상관측장비의 일강수량 자료이다. 일강수량 80mm 이상의 극한강수현상과 일강수량 극값은 여름장마기(6월 하순~7월 중순)에 전국적으로 높게 나타났지만, 장마전선이 북상하는 장마휴지기(7월 하순~8월 초순)에는 경기북부~강원 영서 북부 지역에, 장마전선이 남하하는 늦장마기(8월 중순~9월 초순)에는 경기도~강원 영서 남부 지역 및 지리산, 한라산 주변지역에서 높게 나타났다. 세부 지역별로 극한강수현상의 발생빈도와 극값 분포를 살펴보면, 종관규모인 장마전선의 위치뿐만 아니라 해발고도와 사면의 방향성과 같은 지형요소와 기류의 유입 등이 극한기후현상의 시 공간성에 영향을 미치는 기후인자임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 우리나라 각 지역과 여름철 시기별로 상이하게 나타나는 극한강수현상의 발생빈도와 강도를 고려하여 지역별로 차별화된 호우 피해 저감 대책이 필요함을 시사한다.
