In the first part of this study, five homogeneous regions in view of topographical and geographically homogeneous aspects except Jeju and Ulreung islands in Korea were accomplished by K-means clustering method. A total of 57 rain gauges were used for the regional frequency analysis with minimum rainfall series for the consecutive durations. Generalized Extreme Value distribution was confirmed as an optimal one among applied distributions. Drought rainfalls following the return periods were estimated by at-site and regional frequency analysis using L-moments method. It was confirmed that the design drought rainfalls estimated by the regional frequency analysis were shown to be more appropriate than those by the at-site frequency analysis. In the second part of this study, LH-moment ratio diagram and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test on the Gumbel (GUM), Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), Generalized Logistic (GLO) and Generalized Pareto (GPA) distributions were accomplished to get optimal probability distribution. Design drought rainfalls were estimated by both at-site and regional frequency analysis using LH-moments and GEV distribution, which was confirmed as an optimal one among applied distributions. Design rainfalls were estimated by at-site and regional frequency analysis using LH-moments, the observed and simulated data resulted from Monte Carlotechniques. Design drought rainfalls derived by regional frequency analysis using L1, L2, L3 and L4-moments (LH-moments) method have shown higher reliability than those of at-site frequency analysis in view of RRMSE (Relative Root-Mean-Square Error), RBIAS (Relative Bias) and RR (Relative Reduction) for the estimated design drought rainfalls. Relative efficiency were calculated for the judgment of relative merits and demerits for the design drought rainfalls derived by regional frequency analysis using L-moments and L1, L2, L3 and L4-moments applied in the first report and second report of this study, respectively. Consequently, design drought rainfalls derived by regional frequency analysis using L-moments were shown as more reliable than those using LH-moments. Finally, design drought rainfalls for the classified five homogeneous regions following the various consecutive durations were derived by regional frequency analysis using L-moments, which was confirmed as a more reliable method through this study. Maps for the design drought rainfalls for the classified five homogeneous regions following the various consecutive durations were accomplished by the method of inverse distance weight and Arc-View, which is one of GIS techniques.

In this study, Magnetic Flux Leakage(MFL)-based inspection system was applied to detect the local fault of wire rope. To verify the feasibility of the proposed damage detection technique, an 4-channel MFL sensor head prototype was designed and fabricated. A wire rope with several types of cross-sectional damages were fabricated and scanned by the MFL sensor head to measure the magnetic flux density of the wire rope specimen. To interpret the condition of the wire rope, magnetic flux signals were used to determine the locations of the flaws. To improve the resolution of signal, the instantaneous variation value of magnetic flux was utilized. Measured signals from the damaged specimen were compared with thresholds set for objective decision making. Finally, the results were compared with information on actual inflicted damages to confirm the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed cable monitoring method.

Flood planning needs to recognize trends for extreme precipitation events. Especially, the r-year return level is a common measure for extreme events. In this paper, we present a nonstationary temporal model for precipitation return levels using a hierarchical Bayesian modeling. For intensity, we model annual maximum daily precipitation measured in Korea with a generalized extreme value (GEV). The temporal dependence among the return levels is incorporated to the model for GEV model parameters and a linear model with autoregressive error terms. We apply the proposed model to precipitation data collected from various stations in Korea from 1973 to 2011.

It is well known that air pollutants exert a bad influence on human health. According to the United Nations Environment Program, 4.3 million people die from carbon monoxide and particulate matter annually from all over the world. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that is the most dangerous of the gas consisting of carbon and oxygen. In this paper, we used 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours average carbon monoxide concentration data collected between 2004 and 2013 in Daegu Gyeongbuk area. Parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution were estimated by maximum likelihood estimation and L-moments estimation. An evalution of goodness of fitness also was performed. Since the number of samples were small, L-moment estimation turned out to be suitable for parameter estimation. We also calculated 5 year, 10 year, 20 year, and 40 year return level.

일반적으로 확률수문량을 산정하기 위해서는 수문자료에 대해 빈도해석을 실시한 후 확률수문량을 산정하게 된다. 재현기간이 커질수록 확률분포형에 따라 확률수문량의 값은 많은 차이를 나타내므로 적정 확률분포형의 선정은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 적정 확률분포형의 선정은 객관적인 기준에 의해 이루어져야 하나, 적정 확률분포형의 선정에 있어 명확한 기준이 마련되어 있지 않아 실무에서 확률수문량을 산정할 때 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적정 확률분포형의 선정기준으로 제시되어 있는 검정통계량을 이용한 방법의 적용성을 비교 검토하고자 한다. 이를 위해 우리나라에서 널리 사용되고 있는 Gumbel, GEV 분포형과 Weibull, Generalized logistic 분포형을 선택하고 각각의 분포형에 대해 자료의 크기별 모의를 통해 자료를 발생시킨 후 빈도해석을 수행하고, 적합도 검정 단계에서 산출되는 검정통계량을 비교하여 적정 확률분포형을 선정하여 적용성을 검토하고자 한다. 결과적으로 자료 발생에 이용된 분포형과는 관계없이 자료수가 작을수록 2변수 gamma, 자료수가 많을수록 5변수 Wakeby가 제일 많이 선정되는 것으로 나타났으며, Gumbel, GEV, generalized logistic 분포형의 경우는 대체로 자료의 수가 많아질수록 선정되는 빈도가 많은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 강우의 자료년수가 부족하거나 미계측 지점에서의 확률강우량 산정을 위하여 충분한 강우자료가 확보된 지점들의 강우분석을 수행하였다. 30년 이상의 강우기록을 보유한 기상청 산하 57개 강우관측지점에서 12개 지속기간에 대한 연최대치 강우자료를 대상으로 확률분포형 분석을 실시하여 대표확률분포형을 선정한다. 지점별 지속기간의 대표확률분포형 모수를 확인하고 이를 도시하여 국내 전역에 대한 확률분포 모수선도를 작성하였다. 본 연구의 수행으로 인해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전국 57개 지점에 대한 강우분석 결과, 적용한 16개 분포형 중에서 GEV 분포의 적합도가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, GEV 분포의 모수를 이용한 지속기간별 확률분포 모수선도를 제시하였다. 둘째, 확률분포 모수선도를 이용한 확률강우량과 기존 연구결과의 확률강우량과는 차이는 대부분 기존 연구보다 과다 산정되게 발생하였다. 셋째, 확률분포 모수선도의 활용으로 기존의 연구에서 산정하기 어려웠던 미계측 지점에서의 확률강우량을 보다 편리하게 구할 수 있었으며, 기존의 연구와 비교하였을 때 산정된 확률강우량의 편차가 적어 미계측 지점에서의 확률강우량 산정 시 효율적인 방법이 될 수 있을 것이다.

극치 수문(Hydrologic extremes)분야에서는 수문자료의 분포에 따라 Gumbel, GEV, 그리고 GLO 분포와 같은 다양한 확률통계 분포형이 존재한다. GEV와 GLO 분포형의 경우 Gumbel 분포형과 달리 형상매개변수가 포함된 3변수 분포형으로써 이상 기후 현상으로 인한 잦은 극치 수문사상을 표현하는데 좀 더 유연한 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 GLO 분포형의 경우 영국에서 홍수빈도해석 시 적정분포형으로 선정된바 있다(Institute of Hydrology, 1999). 다양한 분포형 중에서 표본 자료를 대표할 수 있는 분포형을 선정하는 통계적 기법이 적합도 검정이다. 적합도 검정에는 $x^2$-검정, Cramer von-Mises 검정, Kolmogorov-Smirnov 검정, PPCC(probability plot correlation coefficient, 확률도시 상관계수)검정 등이 있으며 그 중 PPCC 검정은 이용방법이 간편하면서도 뛰어난 기각능력을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 극치 수문분야에서 널리 이용되고 있는 GLO 분포형을 대상으로 자료의 왜곡도 영향을 고려할 수 있는 확률도시 상관계수 검정의 검정통계량을 추정하여 보았다.

This study is to derive the rainfall intensity formula based on the representative probability distribution in Korea. The 11 probability distributions which has been widely used in hydrologic frequency analysis are applied to the annual maximum rainfall. The parameters of each probability distribution are estimated by method of moments, maximum likelihood method and method of probability weighted moments. Four tests such as $x^2$-test, Kolmogorv-Smirnov test, difference test and modified difference test are used to determine the goodness of fit of the distributions. The homogeneous tests (Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance of nonparametric test) are applied to find the stations with rainfall homogeneity. The results of homogeneous tests show that there is no representative appropriate distribution for the whole duration in Korea. The whole region could be divided into five zones for 12-durations. The representative probability distribution of each divided zone for 12-durations was determined. The GEV distribution for I,II,V zones and the 3-parameter Weibull distribution for III,IV zones were determined as the representative probability distribution. The rainfall were obtained from representative probability distribution for the selected return periods. Rainfall intensity formula was determined by linearization technique for the rainfall.

The frequency analysis of annual maximum rainfall data and the derivation of probable rainfall intensity formula at Masan station are performed in this study. Based on the eight different rainfall duration data from 10 minutes to 24 hours, eight types of probability distribution (Gamma, Lognormal, Log-Pearson type III, GEV, Gumbel, Log-Gumbel, Weibull, and Wakeby distributions), three types of parameter estimation scheme (moment, maximum likelihood and probability weighted methods) and three types of goodness-of-fit test (${\chi}^2$, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramer von Mises tests) were considered to find an appropriate probability distribution at Masan station. The Lognormal-2 distribution was selected and the probable rainfall intensity formula was derived by regression analysis. The derived formula can be used for estimating rainfall quantiles of the Masan vicinity areas with convenience and reliability in practice.
