Gwangdong Dam Watershed is affected by the increased discharge caused by the melting snow in the spring season. Therefore, simulation results obtained using hydrologic models have generally been inaccurate in relation to discharge without snow pack and melt modules. In this research, a grid based distributed rainfall runoff model (K-DRUM) was developed using a snow pack and melt module, and has been applied in the Gwangdong Dam Watershed to simulate the discharge for a four year period. A previous version of K-DRUM, which does not include a snow pack or melt module, was used to calculate the discharge in order to compare the snow melt effect. The simulation period lasted about 7 months from October of the previous year to April of this year using hourly precipitation and weather observed data. To evaluate the model performance, NSE, PBIAS and RSR statistics techniques were applied using the simulation results of the discharge. From the results of reliability evaluation, the K-DRUM model, which uses a snow pack and melt module, had a good applicability for the runoff simulation considering the snow melt effect in the spring.

Many researchers have evaluated the influence of vegetation cover on slope stability. However, due to the extensive variety of site conditions and vegetation types, different studies have often provided inconsistent results, especially when evaluating in different regions. Therefore, additional studies need to be conducted to identify the positive impacts of vegetation cover for slope stabilization. This study used the Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-stability Model (TRIGRS) to predict the occurrence of landslides in a watershed in Jinbu-Myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Korea. The influence of vegetation cover was assessed by spatially and temporally comparing the predicted landslides corresponding to multiple trials of cohesion values (which include the role of root cohesion) and real observed landslide scars to back-calculate the contribution of vegetation cover to slope stabilization. The lower bound of cohesion was defined based on the fact that there are no unstable cells in the raster stability map at initial conditions, and the modified success rate was used to evaluate the model performance. In the next step, the most reliable value representing the contribution of vegetation cover in the study area was applied for landslide assessment. The analyzed results showed that the role of vegetation cover could be replaced by increasing the soil cohesion by 3.8 kPa. Without considering the influence of vegetation cover, a large area of the studied watershed is unconditionally unstable in the initial condition. However, when tree root cohesion is taken into account, the model produces more realistic results with about 76.7% of observed unstable cells and 78.6% of observed stable cells being well predicted.

This study was conducted to provide the preliminary data on preparation for policy decisions regarding the groundwater supply scheme for N. Korea vulnerable to drought. Agricultural activities oriented to upland field due to the mountainous terrain more than 79% as well as the diversity of rainfall distribution over the country make more vulnerable to structural problems in the drought in N. Korea. Therefore, in anticipation of the expansion of exchange policies in agricultural sector, the available amount of groundwater needed for sustainable water resources supply was estimated for each administrative district after analyzing alluvium and hydrogeology distribution in N. Korea. Overall, the available amount of groundwater was estimated to 22.3 billion m³ (0.18 million m³/km²). The available amount of groundwater per unit area in Ryanggangdo and Gaesungsi was appeared very high in each of 0.56 and 0.39 million m³/km², respectively, and it would be interpreted that two districts have relatively wide area of volcanic rocks and alluvium with highly permeable characteristics, respectively. Finally, to maximize the utilization of this study result, the available amount of groundwater distribution map was developed on the basis of the 1 × 1 km grid network over the entire N. Korea.

In this study, the points of LiDAR were modified in order to generate various DEM resolutions by applying LiDAR data in Ulsan. Since the LiDAR data have points with 1m intervals, the number of points for each resolution was modified to the size of 1, 5, 10, 30, 50, 100m by uniformly eliminating the points. A runoff analysis was performed on Taehwa river and its tributary, Dongcheon, with 200 year rainfall exceedance probability. 2-dimensional inundation analysis was performed based on the density of LiDAR data using FLUMEN, which was used to establish domestic flood risk map. Once DEM data obtained from LiDAR survey are used, it is expected that the study results can be used as data in determining optimal grid spacing, which is economical, effective and accurate in establishing flood defence plans including the creation of flood risk map.

The objective of this study was to estimate the climate change impact on water quantity and quality to Saemanguem watershed using SWAT (Soil and water assessment tool) model. The SWAT model was calibrated and validated using observed data from 2008 to 2017 for the study watershed. The $R^2$ (Determination coefficient), RMSE (Root mean square error), and NSE (Nash-sutcliffe efficiency coefficient) were used to evaluate the model performance. RCP scenario data were produced from 10 GCM (General circulation model) and all relevant grid data including the major observation points (Gusan, Jeonju, Buan, Jeongeup) were extracted. The systematic error evaluation of the GCM model outputs was performed as well. They showed various variations based on analysis of future climate change effects. In future periods, the MIROC5 model showed the maximum values and the CMCC-CM model presented the minimum values in the climate data. Increasing rainfall amount was from 180mm to 250mm and increasing temperature value ranged from 1.7 to $5.9^{\circ}C$, respectively, compared with the baseline (2006~2017) in 10 GCM model outputs. The future 2030s and 2070s runoff showed increasing rate of 16~29% under future climate data. The future rate of change for T-N (Total nitrogen) and T-P (Total phosphorus) loads presented from -26 to +0.13% and from +5 to 47%, respectively. The hydrologic cycle and water quality from the Saemanguem headwater were very sensitive to projected climate change scenarios so that GCM model should be carefully selected for the purpose of use and the tendency analysis of GCM model are needed if necessary.

The production of near- and off-shore fisheries in South Korea is decreasing due to rapid changes in the fishing environment, particularly including higher sea temperature in recent years. To improve the competitiveness of the fisheries, it is necessary to provide fish catch information that changes spatiotemporally according to the sea state. In this study, artificial intelligence models that predict the CPUE (catch per unit effort) of mackerel, anchovies, and squid (Todarodes pacificus), which are three major fish species in the near- and off-shore areas of South Korea, on a 15-km grid and daily basis were developed. The models were trained and validated using the sea surface temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, pressure,sea surface wind velocity, significant wave height, and salinity as input data, and the fish catch statistics of Suhyup (National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives) as observed data. The 10-fold blind test results showed that the developed artificial intelligence models exhibited accuracy with a corresponding correlation coefficient of 0.86. It is expected that the fish catch models can be actually operated with high accuracy under various sea conditions if high-quality large-volume data are available.

Two dimensional finite element method with quadrilateral basis functions was applied to the spherical high order filter on the spherical surface limited area domain. The basis function consists of four shape functions which are defined on separate four grid boxes sharing the same gridpoint. With the basis functions, the first order derivative was expressed as an algebraic equation associated with nine point stencil. As the theory depicts, the convergence rate of the error for the spherical Laplacian operator was found to be fourth order, while it was the second order for the spherical Laplacian operator. The accuracy of the new high order filter was shown to be almost the same as those of Fourier finite element high order filter. The two-dimension finite element high order filter was incorporated in the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model as a hyper viscosity. The effect of the high order filter was compared with the built-in viscosity scheme of the WRF model. It was revealed that the high order filter performed better than the built in viscosity scheme did in providing a sharper cutoff of small scale disturbances without affecting the large scale field. Simulation of the tropical cyclone track and intensity with the high order filter showed a forecast performance comparable to the built in viscosity scheme. However, the predicted amount and spatial distribution of the rainfall for the simulation with the high order filter was closer to the observed values than the case of built in viscosity scheme.

홍수해석을 위해서는 DEM, 토지피복도, 토양도 등을 이용해서 대상 유역의 수문지형학적 매개변수를 도출해야 한다. 이때 북한과 같은 비접근 지역이나, 지상 관측에 의한 자료가 부족한 해외 지역에 대한 유출해석을 위해서는 대상 지역에 대한 상세한 자료를 얻기 어려우므로, 위성영상이나 전지구 데이터베이스 등과 같은 글로벌 자료를 이용하는 것이 대안이 될 수 있다. 글로벌 지형공간 자료로는 ASTER GDEM과 같은 DEM, Global Map과 같은 토지피복도, HWSD(Harmonized World Soil Database)와 같은 토양도를 이용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 중 HWSD의 적용성을 평가하였다. HWSD는 UN FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations)의 토지이용변경 프로그램에 따른 지도와 지역 및 국가 토양데이터베이스를 조합해서 만들어 졌으며, 30 arc-second(약 1km)의 해상도를 가진다. 유출해석은 물리적 분포형 모형인 GRM(Grid based Rainfall-runoff Model)을 이용하였으며, 낙동강 수계의 향석 수위관측소 유역을 대상으로 2008년과 2009년에 발생한 2개의 수문사상을 이용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 토양도를 제외한 자료(DEM, 토지피복도 등)는 모두 국내에서 구축된 자료를 이용하였다. 우리나라의 정밀토양도를 이용해서 보정된 모형(매개변수)에 HWSD 자료를 적용한 유출해석 결과, 두 사상에서 모두 유량이 크게 모의되었다. 이는 HWSD에서는 유역 전체가 양토(수리전도도 0.34cm/h)로 정밀토양도(향석 유역 평균 수리전도도 1.07cm/h)에 비해 약 1/3의 수리전도도 값을 가지고, 정밀토양도를 적용한 경우의 평균 토양심은 70cm이지만 HWSD에서는 37cm로 상대적으로 작기 때문에 토양 침투량은 작아지고, 유출량이 크게 계산되는 것으로 판단된다. HWSD를 이용한 모형 보정에서는 토양 수리전도도와 토양심 매개변수를 중심으로 보정하였으며, 그 결과 관측 유량을 잘 재현할 수 있었다. 위성영상을 이용해서 구축되는 토지피복도와는 달리, 토양정보는 원시 자료가 구축된 지역에 따라서 구축방법, 정확도 등에서 크게 차이가 날 수 있다. 그러므로 글로벌 자료를 이용한 유출해석에서는 토양 자료의 적용 및 이와 관련된 매개변수의 주의가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 분포형 강우-유출 모형인 GRM(Grid based Rainfall-runoff Model)의 확장성과 편의성 향상을 위한 소프트웨어 개발에 대해서 기술하였다. 본 연구에서는 크게 3가지를 수행하였다. 첫 번째는 기존의 GRM은 HyGIS, MapWindow GIS 등과 같은 GIS 소프트웨어 및 Microsoft MDB와 코드 수준에서 통합된 형태로 개발되었으며, 이러한 특성은 GRM을 이용한 다양한 응용시스템 개발시 제약 조건으로 작용하였다. 본 연구에서는 GRM 모형을 GIS 및 데이터베스와 코드 수준에서 분리하여 GRMCore.dll을 개발하였다. GRMCore.dll은 콘솔 모드 및 GUI에서 유출해석을 실행할 수 있는 소프트웨어와 실시간 유출해석시스템 등과 같이 유출 해석을 위한 다양한 응용 소프트웨어 개발에 공통적으로 활용될 수 있다. 두 번째는 최근 들어 세계적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 오픈소스 GIS 인 QGIS의 plugin으로 GRM 모형의 GUI(QGIS-GRM)를 개발하였으며, GRM 모형의 입력자료 구축을 위해 TauDEM을 이용해서 Drainage Tool을 개발하였다. Drainage Tool에서는 격자별 흐름방향, 하천망, 유역 등과 같은 수문학적 공간정보를 DEM을 이용하여 구축할 수 있다. 세 번째는 개발된 소프트웨어를 오픈소스로 공개하였다. 공개 대상은 GRM 모형, QGIS-GRM, Drainage Tool 등이며, 각 소프트웨어에 대한 매뉴얼을 포함하고 있다. 소스코드의 공개는 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있는 오픈소스 플랫폼인 Github(https://github.com/floodmodel/)를 이용하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 기존에는 특정 소프트웨어에 코드 수준에서 의존적이던 GRM 모형의 독립성을 향상시켰으며, 이를 통해 다양한 응용 소프트웨어 개발에 대한 적용성을 높일 수 있었다. 또한 QGIS 기반의 GUI 개발, 모형 입력자료 구축 도구의 개발, 개발된 소프트웨어의 오픈소스화 등을 통해서 사용자들이 좀 더 쉽게 GRM 모형을 활용할 수 있게 하였다.

In this study, after the target basin was divided into both overland and channel grids, the travel time from center of each grid cell to watershed's outlet was calculated based on the manning equation. Through this process, volumetric discharge was calculated according to the isochrones and finally, the direct runoff hydrograph was estimated considering watershed's hydrodynamic characteristics. Sanseong subwatershed located in main stream of Bocheong basin was selected as a target basin. The model parameters are only two: area threshold and channel velocity correction factor; the optimized values were estimated at 3,800 and 3.3, respectively. The developed model based on the tuned parameters led to well-matching results between observed and calculated hydrographs (mean of absolute error of peak discharge: 3.41%, mean of absolute error of peak time: 0.67 hr). Moreover, the analysis results regarding histogram of travel time-contribution area demonstrates that the proposed model characterizes relatively well hydrodynamic characteristics of the catchment due to effective rainfall.
