The changes in the teleconnection associated with El Nin?o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) over the East Asia and North Pacific under greenhouse warming are analyzed herein by comparing the Historical run (1970/1971~1999/2000) and the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 run with 31 climate models, participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). It is found that CMIP5 models have diverse systematic errors in simulating the ENSO teleconnection pattern from model to model. Therefore, we select 21 models based on the models' performance in simulating teleconnection pattern in the present climate. It is shown that CMIP5 models tend to project an overall weaker teleconnection pattern associated with ENSO over East Asia in the future climate than that in the present climate. It can be also noted that the cyclonic flow over the North Pacific is weakened and shifted eastward. However, uncertainties for the ENSO teleconnection changes still exist, suggesting that much consistent agreements on this future teleconnections associated with ENSO should be taken in a further study.

Flooding events often result from extreme precipitations driven by various climate mechanisms, which are often disregarded in flood risk assessments. To bridge this gap, we propose a climate-mechanism-based flood frequency analysis that accommodates the direct linkage between the dominant climate processes and risk management decisions. Several statistical methods have been utilized in this approach including the Markov Chain analysis, K-nearest neighbor (KNN) resampling approach, and Z-score-based jittering method. After that, the impacts of climate change are associated with the modification of the transition matrix (TM) and the application of the quantile mapping approach. For this study, we have selected the Nam River Basin, South Korea, to consider the heterogeneous impacts of the two climate mechanisms, including the Tropical Cyclone (TC) and non-TCs. Based on our results, while both climate mechanisms have significant impacts on future flood extremes, TCs have been observed to bring more significant and immediate impacts on the flood extremes. The results in this study have proven that the proposed approach can lead to a new insights into future flooding management.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the hydrologic impacts of climate and land use changes in a rural small watershed. HadCM3 (Hadley Centre Coupled Model, ver.3) A2 scenario and LARS-WG (Long Ashton Research Station - Weather Generator) were used to generate future climatic data. Future land use data were also generated by the CA-Markov (Cellular Automata-Markov) method. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was used to evaluate hydrologic impacts. The SWAT model was calibrated and validated with stream flow measured at the Baran watershed in Korea. The SWAT model simulation results agreed well with observed values during the calibration and validation periods. In this study, hydrologic impacts were analyzed according to three scenarios: future climate change (Scenario I), future land use change (Scenario II), and both future climate and land use changes (Scenario III). For Scenario I, the comparison results between a 30-year baseline period (1997~2004) and a future 30-year period (2011~2040) indicated that the total runoff, surface runoff, lateral subsurface runoff, groundwater discharge, and evapotranspiration increased as precipitation and temperature for the future 30-year period increased. The monthly variation analysis results showed that the monthly runoff for all months except September increased compared to the baseline period. For Scenario II, both the total and surface runoff increased as the built-up area, including the impervious surface, increased, while the groundwater discharge and evapotranspiration decreased. The monthly variation analysis results indicated that the total runoff increased in the summer season, when the precipitation was concentrated. In Scenario III, the results showed a similar trend to that of Scenario II. The monthly runoff for all months except October increased compared to the baseline period.

The objective of this study are to analyze changes in future rainfall patterns in the Soyang-dam watershed according to the RCP 4.5 scenario of climate change. Second objective is to project peak flow and hourly sediment simulated for the future extreme rainfall events using the SWAT model. For these, accuracy of SWAT hourly simulation for the large scale watershed was evaluated in advance. The results of model calibration showed that simulated peak flow matched observation well with acceptable average relative error. The results of future rainfall pattern changes analysis indicated that extreme storm events will become more severe and frequent as climate change progresses. Especially, possibility of occurrence of large scale extreme storm events will be greater on the periods of 2030-2040 and 2050-2060. In addition, as shown in the SWAT hourly simulation for the future extreme storm events, more severe flood and turbid water can happen in the future compared with the most devastating storm event which occurred by the typhoon Ewiniar in 2006 year. Thus, countermeasures against future extreme storm event and turbid water are needed to cope with climate change.

Understanding climate change is not only complex but also extensive. Humanity has never embarked on such a huge challenge of trans-national scope: a problem that began in the past continues now and will be continuing for a long time in the future. Nepalese have also significantly felt the impact of global climate change. The scenarios of climate change indicate that the increased temperatures will cause snow-melt which will result in floods, droughts, and uneven weather patterns. The impact of such unexpected climate hazards and weather patterns have already been felt and will continue to be felt in Nepal. These climate change-induced hazards and risks particularly threaten the agriculture sector, which results in food insecurity and makes poor and vulnerable people face increasingly unanticipated impacts to their lives and wellbeing. This paper explores the climate vulnerability of the Nepalese in terms of their physical, social, economic and primarily agricultural losses due to the increasing impact of climate change. The paper argues the need for a timely adaptation of measures to maintain an environment suitable for agriculture and for the well-being of the population residing in the area.

본 연구의 목적은 IPCC A1B 온실가스 배출 시나리오에 따른 전지구 기후모형(global climate model, GCM)을 바탕으로 구축된 KMA-RCM(Korea meteorological administration-regional climate model)을 GIS를 활용하여 규모 상세화 기법을 개발하고 검증을 통하여 기후변화 시나리오의 불확실성을 줄이는 것이다. 연구지역은 남한 전역이며, 연구 대상 기간은 1971년부터 2100년까지이다. KMA-RCM의 규모 상세화 결과의 최적화를 위해 GIS 공간보간기법 중 기온에는 Co-Kriging, 강우에는 IDW을 활용하여 고도에 따른 기온 감율을 적용하였다. 최종 연구 결과로 총 1971년도부터 2100년의 월별 평균 기온 및 강우량이 도출되었다. 평균기온의 경우 130년 동안 $1.39^{\circ}C$ 상승하고, 강우량의 경우 271.23mm가 증가하는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구결과의 검증을 위하여 2001년부터 2010년까지 75개 자동기상관측지점(automated weather station, AWS) 실측자료와 동기간의 미래 기후예측값과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 평균기온의 경우 상관계수가 0.98로 매우 높게 나타났으며 강우량의 경우 0.56으로 기온에 비해 상관관계가 낮게 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 기후변화 시나리오 규모 상세화 연구에서 사용되던 GIS 방법론을 고도에 따른 기온감율을 적용하는 기법을 개발하였다. 이를 통하여 보다 현실성 높은 지역적 규모의 미래 기후변화 시나리오를 구축하고 이의 불확실성을 줄이기 위하여 연구를 진행하였다.

보리생육모형인 CERES-Barley 모형을 적용하여, 한반도 A1B 기후시나리오에 따른 국내 쌀보리의 잠재수량 변화를 평가하였다. 생육 모의 지역은 30년 평년의 기상자료가 구축되어 있는 56개 지역으로 하였고, 생육모의 연도는 현재 30년 평년(1971-2000년, 기준 연도)과 세가지의 미래 30년 평년(2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100년)으로 하였다. 그리고 온도 효과(온도 변화 및 $CO_2$ 농도 고정), $CO_2$ 효과(온도 고정 및 $CO_2$ 농도 변화), 온난화 효과(온도 및 $CO_2$ 농도 변화) 등 세가지 생육모의 환경으로 구분하여 기후변화에 따른 쌀보리의 잠재수량 변화를 평가하였다. CERES-Barly 모형은 국내 쌀보리의 발육단계뿐 아니라 수량을 실제 관측값과 아주 유사하게 모의하여 ($R^2$=0.78), 기후변화시나리오에 따른 쌀보리 잠재수량의 변화 예측에 활용하는데 큰 무리가 없다고 판단되었다. 온도효과 분석에서는 미래의 온도상승으로 쌀보리의 잠재수량이 크게 감소하는 것으로 평가되었다. 즉, 세가지 미래 기후조건에서 쌀보리의 평균 잠재수량은 기준연도에 비해 각각 9, 17, 34%씩 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 반면에, $CO_2$ 효과분석에는 세가지 미래 기후조건에서 쌀보리의 평균 잠재수량이 기준연도에 비해 각각 6, 20, 31%씩 증가하는 것으로 예측되었다. 마지막으로, 온난화 효과 분석에서는 미래 기후조건에서 쌀보리의 평균 잠재수량이 기준연도에 비해 각각 8, 15, 13%씩 증가하는 것으로 예측되었다.

This study aims to empirically analyze the relationship between climate change elements and catch amount of coastal fisheries, which is predicted to be vulnerable to climate change since its business scale is too small and fishing ground is limited. Using panel data from 1974 to 2013 by region, we tested the relationship between the sea temperature, salinity and the coastal fisheries production. A spatial panel model was applied in order to reflect the spatial dependence of the ocean. The results indicated that while the upper(0-20m) sea temperature and salinity have no significant influence on the coastal fisheries production, the lower(30-50m) sea temperature has significant positive effects on it and, by extension, on the neighboring areas's production. Therefore, with sea temperature forecast data derived from climate change scenarios, it is expected that these results can be used to assess the future vulnerability to the climate change.

Over the past centuries, industrialization in developed and developing countries has had a negative impact on global warming, releasing $CO_2$ emissions into the Earth's atmosphere. In recent years, the transportation sector, which emits one-third of total $CO_2$ emissions in the United States, has adapted by implementing a climate change action plan to reduce $CO_2$ emissions. Having an environmental policy might be an essential factor in mitigating the man-made global warming threats to protect public health and the coexistent needs of current and future generations; however, to my best knowledge, no research has been conducted in such a context with appropriate statistical validation process to evaluate the effects of climate change policy on $CO_2$ emission reduction in recent years in the U.S. transportation. The empirical findings using an entity fixed-effects model with valid statistical tests show the positive effects of climate change policy on $CO_2$ emission reduction in a state. With all the 49 states joining the climate change action plans, the U.S. transportation sector is expected to reduce its $CO_2$ emissions by 20.2 MMT per year, and for the next 10 years, the cumulated $CO_2$ emission reduction is projected to reach 202.3 MMT, which is almost equivalent to the $CO_2$ emissions from the transportation sector produced in 2012 by California, the largest $CO_2$ emission state in the nation.
