Potential maximum soil moisture retention (S) is a dominant parameter in the Soil Conservation Service (SCS; now called the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)) runoff Curve Number (CN) method commonly used in hydrologic modeling for event-based flood forecasting (SCS, 1985). Physically, S represents the depth [L] soil could store water through infiltration. The depth of soil moisture retention will vary depending on infiltration from previous rainfall events; an adjustment is usually made using a factor for Antecedent Moisture Conditions (AMCs). Application of the method for continuous simulation of multiple storms has typically involved updating the AMC and S. However, these studies have focused on a time step where S is allowed to vary at daily or longer time scales. While useful for hydrologic events that span multiple days, this temporal resolution is too coarse for short-term applications such as flash flood events. In this study, an approach for deriving a time-variable potential maximum soil moisture retention curve (S-curve) at hourly time-scales is presented. The methodology is applied to the Napa River basin, California. Rainfall events from 2011 to 2012 are used for estimating the event-based S. As a result, we derive an S-curve which is classified into three sections depending on the recovery rate of S for soil moisture conditions ranging from 1) dry, 2) transitional from dry to wet, and 3) wet. The first section is described as gradually increasing recovering S (0.97 mm/hr or 23.28 mm/day), the second section is described as steeply recovering S (2.11 mm/hr or 50.64 mm/day) and the third section is described as gradually decreasing recovery (0.34 mm/hr or 8.16 mm/day). Using the S-curve, we can estimate the hourly change of soil moisture content according to the time duration after rainfall cessation, which is then used to estimate direct runoff for a continuous simulation for flood forecasting.

In the past few years, various damages have occurred in the vicinity of rivers due to flooding. In order to alleviate such flood damage, structural and non-structural measures are being established, and one of the important non-structural measures is to establish a flood warning system. In general, in order to establish a flood warning system, the water level of the flood alarm reference point is set, the critical flow corresponding thereto is calculated, and the warning precipitation amount corresponding to the critical flow is calculated through the Geomorphological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (GIUH) rainfall-runoff model. In particular, when calculating the critical flow, various studies have calculated the critical flow through the Manning formula. To compare the adequacy of this, in this study, the critical flow was calculated through the HEC-RAS model and compared with the value obtained from Manning's equation. As a result of the comparison, it was confirmed that the critical flow calculated by the Manning equation adopted excessive alarm precipitation values and lead a very high flow compared to the existing design precipitation. In contrast, the critical flow of HEC-RAS presented an appropriate alarm precipitation value and was found to be appropriate to the annual average alarm standard. From the results of this study, it seems more appropriate to calculate the critical flow through HEC-RAS, rather than through the existing Manning equation, in a situation where various river projects have been conducted resulting that most of the rivers have been surveyed.

In recent years, as rainfall is concentrated and rainfall intensity increases worldwide due to climate change, the scale of flood damage is increasing. Rainfall of a previously unobserved magnitude falls, and the rainy season lasts for a long time on record. In particular, these damages are concentrated in ASEAN countries, and at least 20 million people among ASEAN countries are affected by frequent flooding due to recent sea level rise, typhoons and torrential rain. Korea supports the domestic flood warning system to ASEAN countries through various ODA projects, but the communication network is unstable, so there is a limit to the central control method alone. Therefore, in this study, an artificial intelligence-based flood prediction model was developed to develop an observation station that can observe water level and rainfall, and even predict and warn floods at once at one observation station. Training, validation and testing were carried out for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 6 hours of lead time using the rainfall and water level observation data in 10-minute units from 2009 to 2020 at Junjukbi-bridge station of Seolma stream. LSTM was applied to artificial intelligence algorithm. As a result of the study, it showed excellent results in model fit and error for all lead time. In the case of a short arrival time due to a small watershed and a large watershed slope such as Seolma stream, a lead time of 1 hour will show very good prediction results. In addition, it is expected that a longer lead time is possible depending on the size and slope of the watershed.

In this study, we investigated the use of satellite-derived flow (SDF) signals and a data-based model for the estimation of outflow for the river reach where in situ measurements are either completely unavailable or are difficult to access for hydraulic and hydrology analysis such as the upper basin of Imjin River. It has been demonstrated by many studies that the SDF signals can be used as the river width estimates and the correlation between SDF signals and river width is related to the shape of cross sections. To extract the nonlinear relationship between SDF signals and river outflow, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model with SDF signals as its inputs were applied for the computation of flow discharge at Imjin Bridge located in Imjin River. 15 pixels were considered to extract SDF signals and Partial Mutual Information (PMI) algorithm was applied to identify the most relevant input variables among 150 candidate SDF signals (including 0~10 day lagged observations). The estimated discharges by ANN model were compared with the measured ones at Imjin Bridge gauging station and correlation coefficients of the training and validation were 0.86 and 0.72, respectively. It was found that if the 1 day previous discharge at Imjin bridge is considered as an input variable for ANN model, the correlation coefficients were improved to 0.90 and 0.83, respectively. Based on the results in this study, SDF signals along with some local measured data can play an useful role in river flow estimation and especially in flood forecasting for data-scarce regions as it can simulate the peak discharge and peak time of flood events with satisfactory accuracy.

A new soil moisture initialization scheme is applied to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) Global Seasonal forecasting system version 6 (GloSea6). It is designed to ingest the microwave soil moisture retrievals from Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) radiometer using the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF). In this technical note, we describe the procedure of the newly-adopted initialization scheme, the change of soil moisture states by assimilation, and the forecast skill differences for the surface temperature and precipitation by GloSea6 simulation from two preliminary experiments. Based on a 4-year analysis experiment, the soil moisture from the land-surface model of current operational GloSea6 is found to be drier generally comparing to SMAP observation. LETKF data assimilation shows a tendency toward being wet globally, especially in arid area such as deserts and Tibetan Plateau. Also, it increases soil moisture analysis increments in most soil levels of wetness in land than current operation. The other experiment of GloSea6 forecast with application of the new initialization system for the heat wave case in 2020 summer shows that the memory of soil moisture anomalies obtained by the new initialization system is persistent throughout the entire forecast period of three months. However, averaged forecast improvements are not substantial and mixed over Eurasia during the period of forecast: forecast skill for the precipitation improved slightly but for the surface air temperature rather degraded. Our preliminary results suggest that additional elaborate developments in the soil moisture initialization are still required to improve overall forecast skills.

우리나라에서 가장 심각한 자연재해가 홍수재해이므로, 홍수기에 홍수예보를 하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 홍수예보를 위한 예측 과정은 강우예측과 유출해석부분으로 크게 나눌 수가 있는데, 강우를 정확하게 예측하는 일은 주로 정교한 강우모형과 기상학자들의 몫으로 남겨놓는다고 하더라도 정확한 유출해석은 오랜 동안 수문학자들에게 중요한 고민거리였으며, 특히 우리나라와 같이 홍수재해에 취약한 지역에서는 더욱 간절한 문제가 되었다. 우리나라에서는 국가하천을 대상으로 홍수예보모형을 개발하여 하천의 주요지점에 대한 홍수예보를 시행하고 있으며, 매년 보다 정확하고 신속한 예보를 통해 피해를 줄이기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전역최적화기법인 SCE-UA방법을 이용하여 홍수예보모형의 매개변수의 최적화를 수행하였다. 그러나 최적화기법에 의해 제안된 매개변수들이 강우-유출모형이나 유역의 물리적인 특성을 반영하지 못한다는 비판을 피하기 위해 다단계의 최적화를 통해 유역의 물리적인 특성을 반영하면서도 유출수문곡선을 성공적으로 재현하는 매개변수를 제안하고, 각 매개변수가 가지는 의미를 평가하여 실무에서 홍수예보업무의 효율을 높이는데 도움을 주는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구를 위해 매개변수의 민감도 분석을 수행하고, 민감도에 따라 최적화 하는 방법을 다르게 적용하였다. 또한 유역의 물리적인 특성을 나타내는 매개변수와 강우의 특성에 따라 변화하는 매개변수를 구분하여, 유역별 다른 매개변수의 범위를 제안하였다. 제안된 매개변수는 검증을 통하여 적용성을 확인하였으며, 유역별 다양한 특성을 성공적으로 나타내었다.

It is critical to study on data charateristics analysis and prediction for the flood disaster prevention and water quality monitoring because discharge and TOC data in a river channel are strongly nonlinear. Therefore, in the present study, prediction models for discharge, TOC, and TOC load data were developed using approximation component in the last level and detail components segregated by wavelet transform. The results show that the developed model overcame the persistence phenomenon which could be seen from previous models and improved the prediciton accuracy comparing with the previous models. It might be expected that the results from the present study can mitigate flood disaster damage and construct active alternatives to various water quality problems in the future.

Flooding in urban areas is caused by heavy rains for a short period of time and drains within 1 to 2 hours. It is also characterized by a small flooding area. In addition, flooding is often caused by various and complex causes such as land use, basin slope, pipe, street inlet, drainage pumping station, making it difficult to predict flooding. Therefore, this study analyzes the effect of each basin characteristic on the occurrence of flooding in urban areas by correlating various basin characteristics, whether or not flooding occurred, and rainfall(Limit Rainfall), and intends to use the data for urban flood prediction. As a result of analyzing the relationship between the imperviousness and the urban slope, pipe, threshold rainfall and limit rainfall, the pipe showed a correlation coefficient of 0.32, and the remaining factors showed low correlation. However, the multiple correlation analysis showed the correlation coefficient about 0.81 - 0.96 depending on the combination, indicating that the correlation was relatively high. In the future, I will further analyze various urban characteristics data, such as area by land use, average watershed elevation, river and coastal proximity, and further analyze the relationship between flooding occurrence and urban characteristics. The relationship between the urban characteristics, the occurrence of flooding and the limiting rainfall amount suggested in this study is expected to be used as basic data for the study to predict urban flooding in the future.

기후변화로 인한 홍수재해는 우리나라를 포함한 모든 전세계의 이슈로 우리 앞에 다가와 있다. 수자원 인프라가 잘 구축된 우리나라와 달리 저개발국가로써 관련 인프라가 미흡한 국가의 경우대규모 예산 투입이 필요한 댐, 제방 등의 수자원 인프라 시설보다는 비구조적대책인 홍수예경보시스템 구축을 통해 재해취약지역내 우선적으로 도입하는 유역단위 비구조적인 홍수관리계획이 필요하다(김광기, 2022). 본 연구에서는 2012년 금강권역을 대상으로 구축된 홍수예측모형에 대한 개선을 위해 최신 하도자료와 시설물 현황 자료를 반영하여 수리학적 모형을 신규 구축하였다. 이를 위한 수리학적 홍수추적 모형은 FLDWAV 모형을 사용하였으며, 모형의 대상구간은 금강 상류에 위치한 용담댐에서부터 대청댐 구간까지 189.32 km 구간을 선정하였다. 대상구간은 총 773개의 하도단면으로 구성하여 대상하천에 대한 지형변화를 최대한 반영하고자 하였으며, 홍수사상은 유량이 많은 홍수사상뿐만 아니라 저유량에서도 모형의 정확도를 확보하기 위해 다양한 사상을 선정하여 보정과 검증을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 구축된 금강의 용담댐에서 대청댐 구간에 대한 수리학적 해석모형은 다양한 홍수사상을 대상으로 모형에 대한 보정과 검증을 실시함으로써 보다 정확도 높은 홍수예경보시스템을 구축하여 하천 재해 발생을 예방하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
