In this study we estimated ETCCDI and frequency based precipitation using observed precipitation and precipitation from Representative Concentration Pathway(RCP) scenarios for 58 weather stations which have the recorded data more than 30 years. We tried to eliminate the bias by Quantile Mapping and tested for outliers of simulated data under climate change scenario. Then we estimated ETCCDI related to precipitation and frequency based precipitation for the future. In addition to this study examined the changes of frequency based precipitation for the future target periods. According to the result, dry days will be increased in Korean Peninsula in the 2090s. Also it showed that the number of heavy precipitation day more than 80mm/day tends to be increased in 3~7% in the future. The precipitation of 24-hour duration under climate change will be increased by 17.7% for 80-year frequency, 18.2% for 100-year frequency and 19.6% for 200-year frequency in 2090s. In the 21st century, the damage caused by natural disasters is expected to be increased due to increase of precipitation and the change of runoff characteristics under climate change. Therefore, the proposed ETCCDI and precipitation frequency under climate change are expected to be used for the future natural disaster plan.

This study is to evaluate the future climate change impact on hydrological components in the Seolmacheon ($8.54km^2$) mixed forest catchment located in the northwest of South Korea using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. To reduce the uncertainty, the model was spatially calibrated (2007~2008) and validated (2009~2010) using daily observed streamflow, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture data. Hydrological predicted values matched well with the observed values by showing coefficient of determination ($R^2$) from 0.74 to 0.91 for streamflow, from 0.56 to 0.71 for evapotranspiration, and from 0.45 to 0.71 for soil moisture. The HadGEM3-RA future weather data of Representative Concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) AR5 (Assessment Report 5) were adopted for future assessment after bias correction of ground measured data. The future changes in annual temperature and precipitation showed an upward tendency from $0.9^{\circ}C$ to $4.2^{\circ}C$ and from 7.9% to 20.4% respectively. The future streamflow showed an increase from 0.6% to 15.7%, but runoff ratio showed a decrease from 3.8% to 5.4%. The future predicted evapotranspiration about precipitation increased from 4.1% to 6.8%, and the future soil moisture decreased from 4.3% to 5.5%.

Recently, Due to Climate change, extreme rainfall occurs frequently. In many preceding studies, Because of extreme hydrological events changes, it is expected that peak flood Magnitude and frequency of drainage infrastructures changes. However, at present, probability rainfall in the drainage facilities design is assumed to Stationary which are not effected from climate change and long-term fluctuation. In the future, flood control safety standard should be reconsidered about the valid viewpoint. In this paper, in order to assess impact of climate change on drainage system, Future climate change information has been extracted from RCP 8.5 Climate Change Scenario for IPCC AR5, then estimated the design rainfall for various durations at return periods. Finally, the design flood estimated through the HEC-HMS Model which is being widely used in the practices, estimated the effect of climate change on the Design Flood of Mihochen basin. The results suggested that the Design Flood increase by climate change. Due to this, the Flood risk of Mihochen basin can be identified to increase comparing the present status.

The changes in thermodynamic and dynamic aspects on near (2025~2049) and long-term (2075~2099) future climate changes between the historical run (1979~2005) and the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 run with 20 coupled models which employed in the phase five of Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP5) over East Asia (EA) and the Korean Peninsula are investigated as an extended study for Moon et al. (2014) study noted that the 20 models' multi-model ensemble (MME) and best five models' multi-model ensemble (B5MME) have a different increasing trend of precipitation during the boreal winter and summer, in spite of a similar increasing trend of surface air temperature, especially over the Korean Peninsula. Comparing the MME and B5MME, the dynamic factor (the convergence of mean moisture by anomalous wind) and the thermodynamic factor (the convergence of anomalous moisture by mean wind) in terms of moisture flux convergence are analyzed. As a result, the dynamic factor causes the lower increasing trend of precipitation in B5MME than the MME during the boreal winter and summer over EA. However, over the Korean Peninsula, the dynamic factor causes the lower increasing trend of precipitation in B5MME than the MME during the boreal winter, whereas the thermodynamic factor causes the higher increasing trend of precipitation in B5MME than the MME during the boreal summer. Therefore, it can be noted that the difference between MME and B5MME on the change in precipitation is affected by dynamic (thermodynamic) factor during the boreal winter (summer) over the Korean Peninsula.

기후변화에 따른 청미천 유역의 가뭄 특성을 평가한 연구로 가뭄의 발생은 여러 요소가 연속적인 상관관계를 이루고 있으며, 가뭄지수 산정에 내재되어 있는 복잡성 및 불확실성으로 인해 다양한 가뭄지수를 적용하였다. 그 중 기상학적 가뭄지수는 강수량을 이용하여 산정하는 SPI(Standardiz d Precipitation Index)와 강수량과 증발산량을 바탕으로 산정하는 SPEI(Standardiz d Precipitation Evaportranspiration Index), 유효토양수분량을 바탕으로 산정하는 농업학적 가뭄지수인 PDSI(Palmer Drought Severity Index), 유출량을 이용하여 산정하는 수문학적 가뭄지수인 SDI(Streamflow Drought Index)의 지속기간 3개월, 6개월, 9개월에 따른 과거(1985년부터 2015년) 및 미래(2016년부터 2099년)의 가뭄특성을 파악하였다. 미래의 경우 기후변화 시나리오인 RCP(Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5와 8.5를 이용하였으며, 농업학적 및 수문학적 가뭄지수는 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형 모의를 통해 산출된 결과를 토대로 산정하였다. 과거 기간의 가뭄지수 산정 결과, 2015년과 2014년이 극한 및 평균 가뭄의 평균에서 가장 극심한 가뭄을 나타냈으며, PDSI를 제외한 각 가뭄지수 간에는 높은 상관정도를 보였다. 과거를 포함한 미래 가뭄의 경우 현재(2011년부터 2020년까지), 가까운 미래(2021년부터 2040년까지), 중간 미래(2041년부터 2070년까지), 먼 미래(2071년부터 2099년까지)로 나누어 가뭄을 평가하였다. 평가 결과 현재의 경우 과거 기간의 가뭄과는 달리 2018년이 가뭄에 취약했으며, 극한 및 평균 가뭄의 평균에서 두 기후변화 시나리오는 가까운 미래와 중간미래가 취약함을 나타냈다. 상관계수의 경우 과거 결과와 마찬가지로 PDSI를 제외한 각 가뭄지수 간에 높은 상관정도를 나타냈다. 또한 빈도해석 결과 RCP 4.5에서 더 큰 변동성을 보였다. 현저히 적은 강수 및 기온 상승으로 인한 증발산량의 증가 등으로 인해 최근 들어 가뭄의 정도가 심해졌으며, 미래에는 더욱 더 심해질 전망으로 보여진다. 이를 평가하기 위해서는 본 결과에서 보듯이 각 각의 가뭄지수는 극한 가뭄의 발생 시기 및 강도에서 각기 다른 차이를 확인할 수 있기 때문에 가뭄 평가 시 다양한 형태의 가뭄지수 활용이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

최근 10년간 우리나라에 빈번하게 발생한 가뭄 가운데 2014년과 2015년에 발생한 가장 극심한 가뭄으로 금강유역은 평년의 84.4%의 강수량을 기록하였고, 특히 2015년 6월부터 9월까지의 강수량은 343.1 mm로 평년 대비 38.3% 수준에 머물렀다. 금강유역 내에 위치한 보령댐은 충남 서부지역 8개 시 군에 생활용수와 공업용수를 공급하고 있는 중요한 수원으로 현재 심각한 물 부족으로 저수율이 30%를 밑돌고 있어 대상지역의 현재 및 장래 물 부족 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 보령댐 유역($297.4km^2$)을 대상으로 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모델과 GCM(General Circulation Model) 기후변화 시나리오를 활용하여 극한 기후변화 사상이 반영된 보령댐의 내한능력을 평가하고자 하였다. 유역의 물수지 분석을 위해 보령댐 유역을 대상으로 기상자료, 보령댐 운영자료를 수집하였으며. SWAT 모형의 신뢰성 있는 유출량 보정을 위해 보령댐의 실측 방류량을 이용하여 댐 운영모의를 고려하였고 유입량 및 방류량 자료를 활용하여 모형의 보정(2005~2009)과 검증(2010~2017)을 실시하였다. 기후변화에 따른 내 저수지 내한능력평가를 위해 APCC의 26개 CMIP5 GCM 자료 중 RCP(Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5와 RCP 8.5 시나리오 특성을 분석하여 극한 기후 시나리오를 선정하여 Historical 기간(1980~2017)과 미래 기간(2000~2099)을 대상으로 극한 기후변화 사상에 따른 보령댐 유역의 내한능력을 평가하였다.

Background: Climate change is occurring rapidly around the world, and is predicted to have a large impact on biodiversity. Various studies have shown that climate change can alter the geographical distribution of wild bees. As climate change affects the species distribution and causes range shift, the degree of range shift and the quality of the habitats are becoming more important for securing the species diversity. In addition, those pollinator insects are contributing not only to shaping the natural ecosystem but also to increased crop production. The distributional and habitat quality changes of wild bees are of utmost importance in the climate change era. This study aims to investigate the impact of climate change on distributional and habitat quality changes of five wild bees in northwestern regions of Iran under two representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). We used species distribution models to predict the potential range shift of these species in the year 2070. Result: The effects of climate change on different species are different, and the increase in temperature mainly expands the distribution ranges of wild bees, except for one species that is estimated to have a reduced potential range. Therefore, the increase in temperature would force wild bees to shift to higher latitudes. There was also significant uncertainty in the use of different models and the number of environmental layers employed in the modeling of habitat suitability. Conclusion: The increase in temperature caused the expansion of species distribution and wider areas would be available to the studied species in the future. However, not all of this possible range may include high-quality habitats, and wild bees may limit their niche to suitable habitats. On the other hand, the movement of species to higher latitudes will cause a mismatch between farms and suitable areas for wild bees, and as a result, farmers will face a shortage of pollination from wild bees. We suggest that farmers in these areas be aware of the effects of climate change on agricultural production and consider the use of managed bees in the future.

최근 기후변화로 인한 전 세계적인 기온상승이 야기되고 있으며, 농업에 직접적인 영향을 주는 기상학적 및 수문학적 변화가 급격하게 진행되고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 최근 7년 동안 지역별로 극심한 가뭄이 매년 발생하고 있고, 가뭄의 발생 빈도와 강도가 증가하는 추세이다. 특히 밭의 경우 농업용 저수지 등 수리시설물로부터 관개용수를 공급받는 논 작물과 달리 자연 강우를 통해 필요한 용수량을 공급받는 천수답이 대부분이고 관개시설이 부족하기 때문에, 기후변화에 의한 가뭄의 취약성이 높다. 밭작물은 작물의 생육 시기와 기후 환경, 수자원 환경에 민감하고 토양수분을 흡수함으로써 생육하기 때문에 이러한 밭작물의 소비수량 및 관개용수량은 증발산량 뿐만 아니라 토양내 수분의 이동을 고려하여 수분 부족량을 산정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 미래 기후변화에 의한 밭가뭄 평가를 위하여 밭 작물별 소비수량 및 관개용수량을 추정하기 위한 밭 토양수분 물수지 모형 (Soil Moisture Model)을 구성하였다. 또한 대표농도경로 (Representative Concentration Pathway, RCP) 시나리오 기반의 제5차 결합기후모델상호비교사업 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5, CMIP5)에서 제공하는 RCP 시나리오를 기반으로 한 전지구 기후모델 (General Circulation Model, GCM)의 기후예측결과를 적용함으로써 미래 밭 가뭄 평가를 수행하였다. 과거 기상자료 및 미래 대표농도경로 시나리오와 작물 기초자료를 수집하여 과거 및 미래 작물증발산량을 산정하였으며, 토양수분 물수지 모형에 적용하여 밭작물의 토양수분 변화를 모의하고 기후변화에 따른 작물별/생육시기별 소비수량 및 관개용수량을 추정하였다.

The climate projection with a high spatial resolution is required for the studies on regional climate changes. The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has provided downscaled RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) scenarios over Korea with 1 km spatial resolution. If there are additional climate projections produced by dynamically downscale, the quality of impacts and vulnerability assessments of Korea would be improved with uncertainty information. This technical note intends to instruct the methods to downscale the climate projections dynamically from the Community Earth System Model (CESM) to the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. In particular, here we focus on the instruction to utilize CAM2WRF, a sub-program to link output of CESM to initial and boundary condition of WRF at Linux platform. We also provide the example of the dynamically downscaled results over Korean Peninsula with 50 km spatial resolution for August, 2020. This instruction can be helpful to utilize global scale climate scenarios for studying regional climate change over Korean peninsula with further validation and uncertainty/bias analysis.

We analyzed the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) that was simulated in 25 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) using historical and Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5) scenario experiments of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), focusing on the evaluation of the performance of HadGEM2-AO. A large inter-model diversity in salinity, density, and depth of the NPIW exists even though the multi-model ensemble mean (MME) is comparable to observations. It was found that the depth of the NPIW tends to be deeper in the models in which the NPIW is relatively saltier. HadGEM2-AO simulates the lightest NPIW having the lowest salinity at shallower depth, compared with other CGCMs. Future projections of the NPIW show that the temperature of the NPIW increases, but the density decreases in all CMIP5 models. It was shown that the salinity of the NPIW decreases in most models and the decrease tends to be larger in models simulating the lighter NPIW. The HadGEM2-AO projects moderate changes in the temperature and density of the NPIW out of the CMIP5 models.
