Drought is considered as a devastating hazard that causes serious agricultural, ecological and socio-economic impacts worldwide. Fundamentally, the drought can be defined as temporarily different levels of inadequate precipitation, soil moisture, and water supply relative to the long-term average conditions. From no unified definition of droughts, droughts have been divided into different severity level, i.e., moderate drought, severe drought, extreme drought and exceptional drought. The drought severity classification defined the ranges for each indicator for each dryness level. Because the ranges of the various indicators often don't coincide, the final drought category tends to be based on what the majority of the indicators show and on local observations. Evaporative Stress Index (ESI), a satellite-based drought index using the ratio of potential and actual evaporation, is being used as a index of the droughts occurring rapidly in a short period of time from studies showing a more sensitive and fast response to drought compared to Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). However, ESI is difficult to provide an objective drought assessment because it does not have clear drought severity classification criteria. In this study, U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM), the standard for drought determination used in the United States, was applied to ESI, and the Percentile method was used to classify drought categories by severity. Regarding the actual 2017 drought event in South Korea, we compare the spatial distribution of drought area and understand the USDM-based ESI by comparing the results of Standardized Groundwater level Index (SGI) and drought impact information. These results demonstrated that the USDM-based ESI could be an effective tool to provide objective drought conditions to inform management decisions for drought policy.

본 연구에서는 수자원 계획 및 가뭄관리를 위해 비교적 넓은 지역에 활용할 수 있는 가뭄지표 산정을 위해 강우량, 일최고기온, 유출량, Palmer 지수 등의 다양한 계열의 자료를 이용하였다. 가뭄감시를 위해 가뭄단계를 가뭄주의보, 가뭄경보, 비상가뭄으로 구분하였으며, 각각 가뭄단계는 산정된 지수의 25%, 10%, 5%에 대한 비초과확률치로 정의하였다. 또한 가뭄지수들이 과거의 가뭄을 얼마나 잘 표현하고 있으며, 가뭄감시를 위한 가뭄지표로 활용할 수 있는가를 판단하기 위해 과거 가뭄을 재현하여 가뭄단계의 일치성과 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 9개월과 12개월 강우량지표와 PDSI 지표가 최대의 일치성과 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이렇게 산정된 결과는 다양한 계열의 실측치에 근거하고 있으며, 간단한 계산에 의해 산정 될 수 있기 때문에 유역의 가뭄감시시스템의 구축을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 홍수와 가뭄 같은 수문학적 재해가 과거에 비해 발생빈도와 크기가 변하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 가뭄은 긴 지속기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발하므로 다른 수문학적 재해에 비해 보다 심각한 결과를 초래한다. 하지만 역설적으로 가뭄은 홍수와 달리 장기간에 거쳐 발생하므로 중요성과 심각성을 인식하기 어렵다. 따라서 가뭄의 발생에 대해 분석하고 그에 대한 대책을 마련하기 위해 여러 가지 가뭄의 종류 중 강수량과 가장 밀접한 관련이 있는 기상학적 가뭄에 대해 분석을 실시했다. 기상청에서 관측한 강수 및 온도자료를 이용하여 기상학적 가뭄지수인 팔머가뭄심도지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index), 표준강수지수(Standard Precipitation Index), EDI(Effective Drought Index)를 산정하였다. 그리고 산정된 가뭄지수를 비교분석하여, 실제 과거가뭄사상에 잘 부합되며, 일별로 지수 산정이 가능한 장점이 있는 EDI를 이용해 가뭄빈도해석을 실시하였다. 분석방법으로는 경계핵밀도함수를 이용해 EDI의 빈도해석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 대부분의 지점에서 봄철의 가뭄재현기간이 10년에서 20년 빈도 사이의 값을 나타내 다른 계절보다 봄에 가뭄이 잦음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또 영남지방과 남해안 일대의 재현기간이 상대적으로 더 짧게 나타나 지역적으로도 가뭄의 심도와 재현기간에 차이가 있음이 확인되었다.

The development of prolong and severe drought can directly impact on the environment, agriculture, economics and society of country. A lot of efforts have been made across worldwide in the planning, monitoring and mitigation of drought. Currently, different drought indices such as the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) are developed and most commonly used to monitor drought characteristics quantitatively. However, it will be very meaningful and essential to develop a more effective technique for assessment and monitoring of onset and end of drought. Therefore, in this study, the hidden Markov Bayesian classifier (MBC) was employed for the assessment of onset and end of meteorological drought classes. The results showed that the probabilities of different classes based on the MBC were quite suitable and can be employed to estimate onset and end of each class for meteorological droughts. The classification results of MBC were compared with SPI and with past studies which proved that the MBC was able to account accuracy in determining the accurate drought classes. For more performance evaluation of classification results confusion matrix was used to find accuracy and precision in predicting the classes and their results are also appropriate. The overall results indicate that the MBC was effective in predicating the onset and end of drought events and can utilized for monitoring and management of short-term drought risk.

Spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation and temperature occur with regard to aspect and elevation of Mt. Halla in Jeju Island. Therefore, there is a need to predict regional drought associate with them to mitigate of impacts of drought. In this study, regional drought is predicted based on Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) and standardized precipitation index (SPI) using future (2015~2044) climate change scenario RCP (representative concentration pathways) 4.5 classified as 24 regions according to aspect and elevation. The results show that number and duration of drought will be decrease in Jeju Island. However, severity of severe drought will be increase in western and northern aspect with under 200 meters above mean sea level. These findings provide primary information for developing the proactive strategies to mitigate impacts of drought by future climate change in Jeju Island.

A hydrological drought index, MSWSI (Modified Surface Water Supply Index) was suggested based on SWSI (Surface Water Supply Index). With the available data of spatially distributed observation station of precipitation, dam storage, stream water level and natural groundwater level, South Korea was divided into 32 regions. This was conducted to represent the calculated index as a spatially distributed information. Monthly MSWSI was evaluated for the period of 1974 and 2001. It is necessary to compare this result with PDSI (Palmer Drought Severity Index) and SPI (Standard Precipitation Index), and check the applicability of the suggested index in our hydrological drought situation.

The teleconnections between El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and droughts in Korea and the continental United States(U.S.) are investigated using cross analysis. For this purpose, monthly ENSO data and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) for Korea and for seven states in the U.S. are used. This study shows that there are significant statistical associations between ENSO indices and PDSI for Korea; however, the associations are very weak. It is found that dry conditions in Korea are positively correlated with El Nino, while wet conditions with La Nina. SOI, SSt in the Nino 4 and Ship track 6 regions among ENSO indices are more strongly correlated with PDSI than the other ENSO indices when using the original standardized data, but the SST Nino 3, SST Nino 4, and Darwin SSP exhibit abetter correlations with PDSI when using filtered data to be removed autocorrelation components of the original standardized data. The response time lag for maximum correlation between ENSO indices and PDSI appears to be affected by filtering the data. This is expecially true for Korea than for state analyzed in U.S. In addition, it is found that the PDSI in the continental U.S. is more strongly correlated wiht ENSO than in Korea. Furthermore, in analyzing the El Nino and La Nina aggregate composite data, it is found that the dry anomalies in Korea occur from the year following El Nino to about tow years after while the wet anomalies occur from La Nina year for a period of about two years.

가뭄은 일반적으로 물 수요에 비하여 공급이 부족하여 나타나는 현상을 말한다. 공급 가능한 물의 부족은 강수량의 부족으로부터 시작되며, 강수량의 부족은 토양 수분의 부족과 하천의 유량 감소로 이어져 농작물의 피해와 우리 사회가 필요로 하는 생 공용수의 부족을 초래한다. 2009년 현재 우리나라는 작년 가을부터 시작된 강수량의 부족으로 인해 강원도 내륙지방과 전라남도, 경상남도 등 남부지방을 중심으로 가뭄이 발생하고 있고 이는 당분간 지속될 것으로 예상되어 물 부족에 의한 피해의 우려를 낳고 있다. 우리나라는 기상 특성상 여름철 장마기간 및 태풍으로 인해 발생한 많은 양의 강수를 이용하여 나머지 기간 동안 필요한 용수를 확보하는 체계를 이루고 있으나 2008년에는 여름철 강수의 부족으로 인해 2008년 말부터 지금까지 제한급수 등 가뭄 피해가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상청 주요 지점에 대해 2008년부터 2009년 초반까지의 강수량 관측자료를 이용하여 강수현황을 검토하였으며, Palmer 가뭄지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index, PDSI), 표준강수지수 (Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI), 물공급능력지수(Water Supply Capacity Index, WSCI) 등의 가뭄지수를 이용하여 현재 가뭄의 정도 및 공간적인 분포 현황을 제시하였다.

One of the hazard of nature is a drought. Its impact varies from region to region and it is difficult for people to understand and define due to differences in hydrometeorological and social economic aspects across much of the country. In the most general sense, drought originates from a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually month, season or more, resulting in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sector. Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is well known and has been used to study aridity changes in modern and past climates. The PDSI index is estimated over US using USHCN historical data.(e.g. precipitation, temperature, latitude and soil moisture). In this study, low frequency drought variability associated with climate variability such as El-Nino and ENSO is mainly investigated. With respect to the multi-scale analysis, wavelet transform analysis is applied to the PDSI index in order to extract the low frequency band corresponding to 2-8 years. Finally, low frequency patterns associated with drought by comparing global wavelet power, with significance test are explored.

In an effort to identify quantitatively historical drought conditions, and to evaluate their temporal and spatial variability , two commonly used drougth indices, the standardized precipitation index, SPI by Mckee and the Palmer drought severity index. PDSI were calculated from 54 meteorological stations, SPI was evaluated for different time scales, 3 to 48 months. As the compjtational spans for SPI increase from 3 to 48 months the frequency and intensity of drought decrease, but the duration of drought increase. When monthly and ten-day PDSIs were compared, the frequency and duratin of drought were almost equal and the intensity of drought differ slightly. The three month SPI has the advatage to detect the drought resulting from short-term shortage of rainfall, while PDSI had the advantage to detect the state of drought resulting from cumulated shortage of rainfall. The period-frequency spectrum analyses at Kangnung statino showed that the maximum value of relative frequency was 24.4% when the period was 5.2months, and the 6month SPI has most similar trends to PDSI.
