기후변화에 따른 기상변화가 집중호우 및 돌발홍수 등의 형태로 가시화 되고 있으며, IPCC 보고서(2007)는 21세기 후반까지 온도상승으로 인한 폭우 및 태풍이 점차 강력해질 것이라는 예측을 하였다. 이러한 예측의 대응으로 전 세계는 $CO_2$ 감축을 위한 노력이 진행중에 있으며, $CO_2$ 변화에 따른 미래 강수의 빈도해석을 해야한다는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기상청 지역기후모델(KMA-RegCM3) A1B시나리오의 강우 자료를 이용하여 Quantile-Mapping을 실시한 후 지역빈도해석을 실시하였다. 대상지역은 국내 전역에 위치한 기상청 산하 58개 관측소를 선정하였다. Hosking(1997)이 제안한 L-moment 알고리즘을 이용하여 지역빈도해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 A2 시나리오보다 상대적으로 $CO_2$ 배출량이 낮은 A1B시나리오 역시 모든 지역에서 확률강수량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) has identified the causes of climate change and come up with measures to address it at the global level. Its key component of the work involves developing and assessing future climate change scenarios. The IPCC Expert Meeting in September 2007 identified a new greenhouse gas concentration scenario "Representative Concentration Pathway(RCP)" and established the framework and development schedules for Climate Modeling (CM), Integrated Assessment Modeling(IAM), Impact Adaptation Vulnerability(IAV) community for the fifth IPCC Assessment Reports while 130 researchers and users took part in. The CM community at the IPCC Expert Meeting in September 2008, agreed on a new set of coordinated climate model experiments, the phase five of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project(CMIP5), which consists of more than 30 standardized experiment protocols for the shortterm and long-term time scales, in order to enhance understanding on climate change for the IPCC AR5 and to develop climate change scenarios and to address major issues raised at the IPCC AR4. Since early 2009, fourteen countries including the Korea have been carrying out CMIP5-related projects. Withe increasing interest on climate change, in 2009 the COdinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment(CORDEX) has been launched to generate regional and local level information on climate change. The National Institute of Meteorological Research(NIMR) under the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has contributed to the IPCC AR4 by developing climate change scenarios based on IPCC SRES using ECHO-G and embarked on crafting national scenarios for climate change as well as RCP-based global ones by engaging in international projects such as CMIP5 and CORDEX. NIMR/KMA will make a contribution to drawing the IPCC AR5 and will develop national climate change scenarios reflecting geographical factors, local climate characteristics and user needs and provide them to national IAV and IAM communites to assess future regional climate impacts and take action.

기후변화의 영향은 전세계적으로 재해를 가중시키는 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 인구밀도와 자산가치가 높은 도시지역의 홍수피해가 급증함에 따라 이를 방지하기 위한 대책마련이 시급히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미래의 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 방안으로 도심지역에 LID(Low Impact Development)기법을 적용하여 도시 홍수의 저감방안으로서 그 적용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 굴포천 유역을 대상으로 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 관망을 구축하고 현재 강우자료(1961~2000년)와 미래의 강우자료(KMA-A2 기후변화 시나리오, 2001~2090년)를 적용하여 현재와 미래의 강우조건에 따른 도심지역의 홍수범람 및 유출량을 산정하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 모델링된 지역 중, 기후변화 전후의 상습 홍수범람지역을 우선적으로 선정하여 LID기법을 적용하였다. 효율적인 LID기법의 적용을 위해 토지이용 변화에 따른 시나리오를 작성하고, 이에 따른 유출곡선지수(Curve Number, CN)값을 산정하여 도시홍수 범람지역 및 유출량의 변화를 검토하는데 이용하였다. 분석 결과, LID기법을 적용하였을 경우 기후변화에 따른 도심지역의 홍수 및 유출량을 현재 수준으로 낮출 수 있다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발이 완료된 도시지역에도 효율적인 LID기법의 적용에 따라 도시홍수 및 유출량을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 하나의 대응책으로써 충분한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

The assessment of the current and future climate change-induced potential wind energy is an important issue in the planning and operations of wind farm. Here, the authors analyze spatiotemporal characteristics and variabilities of wind energy over Korean Peninsula in the near future (2006-2040) using Representative Concentration Pathway(RCP) scenarios data. In this study, National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR) regional climate model HadGEM3-RA based RCP 2.6 and 8.5 scenarios are analyzed. The comparison between ERA-interim and HadGEM3-RA during the period of 1981-2005 indicates that the historical simulation of HadGEM3-RA slightly overestimates (underestimates) the wind energy over the land (ocean). It also shows that interannual and intraseasonal variability of hindcast data is generally larger than those of reanalysis data. The investigation of RCP scenarios based future wind energy presents that future wind energy density will increase over the land and decrease over the ocean. The increase in the wind energy and its variability is particularly significant over the mountains and coastal areas, such as Jeju island in future global warming. More detailed analysis presents that the changes in synoptic conditions over East Asia in future decades can influence on the predicted wind energy abovementioned. It is also suggested that the uncertainty of the predicted future wind energy may increase because of the increase of interannual and intra-annual variability. In conclusion, our results can be used as a background data for devising a plan to develop and operate wind farm over the Korean Peninsula.

Average cumulative precipitation in summer have increased by 350 mm compared with 1980s. As precipitation is expected to increase, the risk of landslides by heavy rainfall also is expected to rise. Therefore, establishment of adaptation plan for landslides is urgently needed. In 2011, Korea Ministry of Environment(KME) conducted vulnerability assessment to support establishment of adaptation plan for local governments. However, the result of vulnerability assessment had three limitations. First, KME didn't use standard scenario of Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA). Second, They conducted same standardization method for all variables. Third, They derived relative vulnerability which is not quantitative. The purpose of this study is to improve the limitations of existing vulnerability assessment and identify quantitative criteria to ensure scientific reliability. To achieve this purpose, we carried out three ways of advancement. First, application of new climate scenario, which is RCP 8.5 from KMA. Second, improvement of variables of vulnerability assessment. Third, derivation of quantitative criteria of vulnerability. The findings can support establishment of adaptation plan for local governments more effectively.

The spatial characteristics of changes in extreme temperature indices for 2070-2099 relative to 1971-2000 in the Republic of Korea were investigated using daily maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperature data from a regional climate model (HadGEM3-RA) based on the IPCC RCP4.5/8.5 at 12.5km grid spacing and observations. Six temperature-based indices were selected to consider the frequency and intensity of extreme temperature events. For validation during the reference period (1971-2000), the simulated Tmax and Tmin distributions reasonably reproduce annual and seasonal characteristics not only for the relative probability but also the variation range. In the future (2070-2099), the occurrence of summer days (SD) and tropical nights (TR) is projected to be more frequent in the entire region while the occurrence of ice days (ID) and frost days (FD) is likely to decrease. The increase of averaged Tmax above 95th percentile (TX95) and Tmin below 5th percentile (TN5) is also projected. These changes are more pronounced under RCP8.5 scenario than RCP4.5. The changes in extreme temperature indices except for FD show significant correlations with altitude, and the changes in ID, TR, and TN5 also show significant correlations with latitude. The mountainous regions are projected to be more influenced by an increase of low extreme temperature than low altitude while the southern coast is likely to be more influenced by an increase of tropical nights.

물 순환과정의 핵심요소로 설명되는 유출량은 용수 공급과 가뭄재해에 대한 이수, 홍수 대비 및 관리는 물론, 하천생태계 유지를 위한 환경에 영향을 미치게 된다. 특히, 유출량의 규모(quantity)와 시간(timing)은 용수공급, 수질과 하천 시스템의 생태학적 교류에 중요한 요소로(Poff 등, 1997) 하천 유황의 5가지 요소(규모, 빈도, 지속시간, 시간과 변화율)는 수중 생태계에 직 간접적인 영향을 미친다(Karr, 1991; Poff 등, 1997). 최근 기후변화 현실화로 강우 발생 시기와 패턴이 변화하면서 유역에 따라 유황이 변화하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문은 기후변화가 향후 하천 유황과 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 한강 유역을 대상유역으로 선정하고 기상청(Korea Meterological Administration, KMA)에서 제공하는 A2 기반의 고해상도 RCM 모형($27km{\times}27km$)으로부터 일(daily)단위의 기후변화시나리오를 작성하였다. 그리고 준분포형 모형인 SLURP 모형으로부터 유출 변화를 모의한 후 수문변화지표(indicator of Hydrologic Alteration, IHA)를 이용하여 기후변화에 따른 하천 유황과 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 정량화하였다.

In this study, water supply for Geum River Basin was calculated by regulating the future water supply of Dam with the future expected discharges. HadGEM2-AO, which is the climate change prediction model that KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) recently introduced was used for this study. The data of weather stations within the Geum River basin was extracted with the new Greenhouse Gas RCP scenario. The runoff of Geum river basin was simulated using the ArcSWAT for the 1988~2010 period. After validating the model, the similarity of results between simulation and observation at the Yongdam Dam and Daecheong Dam was 92.25% and 95.40%, respectively, which shows a good agreement with observed data. As the result of analysis for the discharges, the discharges would increase 47.76% under the RCP4.5 scenario and 36.52% under the RCP8.5 scenario. Water balance analysis was conducted by the KModSim for predicting the water supply under the runoff variation. We analyzed the volume of water intake with national standard of water supply 95% by Dam Operation Manual. By the analysis under RCP4.5 scenario, $9.41m^3/s$, $24.82m^3/s$ of additional water supply is available on Yongdam Dam and Daecheong Dam. By the analysis under the RCP8.5 scenario, $6.48m^3/s$, $21.08m^3/s$ of additional water supply is available on Yongdam Dam and Daecheong Dam.

Climate change impact on urban drainage system are analyzed in Seoul by using high-resolution climate change scenario comparing 2000s (1971~2000) with 2020s (2011~2040), 2050s (2041~2070) and 2080s (2071~2100). The historical hourly observed rainfall data were collected from KMA and the climate change scenario-based hourly rainfall data were produced by RegCM3 and Sub-BATS scheme in this study. The spatial resolution obtained from dynamic downscaling was $5{\times}5km$. The comparison of probability rainfalls between 2000s and 2080s showed that the change rates are ranged on 28~54%. In particular, the increase rates of probability rainfall were significant on 3, 6 and 24-hour rain durations. XP-SWMM model was used for analyzing the climate change impacts on urban drainage system. As the result, due to the increase of rainfall intensities, the inundated areas as a function of number of flooded manhole and overflow amounts were increasing rapidly for the 3 future periods in the selected Gongneung 1, Seocho 2, Sinrim 4 drainage systems. It can be concluded that the current drainage systems on the selected study area are vulnerable to climate change and require some reasonable climate change adaptation strategies.

Since future climate scenarios indicate that extreme precipitation events will intensity, probable maximum precipitations (PMPs) without being taken climate change into account are very likely to be underestimated. In this study future PMPs in accordance with the variation of future rainfall are estimated. The hydro-meteorologic method is used to calculate PMPs. The orographic transposition factor is applied in place of the conventional terrain impact factor which has been used in previous PMPs estimation reports. Future DADs are indirectly obtained by using bias-correction and moving-averaged changing factor method based on daily precipitation projection under KMA RCM (HEDGEM3-RA) RCP 8.5 climate change scenario. As a result, future PMPs were found to increase and the spatially-averaged annual PMPs increase rate in 4-hour and $25km^2$ was projected to be 3 mm by 2045. In addition, the increased rate of future PMPs is growing increasingly in the future, but it is thought that the uncertainty of estimating PMPs caused by future precipitation projections is also increased in the distant future.
