Application of the EST approach for the simulation of the risk-based typhoon hazard potential is described in this paper. For six selected cities In the Korean peninsula, EST simulations for one hundred years were performed one hundred times using historical typhoon data as a training data set. The analytical results of EST simulations were then post-processed to estimate the means, standard deviations, and ranges of variation for the maximum wind velocities and the daily rainfalls. From the comparison of the averages of the wind velocities for the 100 year recurrence interval typhoons, the wind hazard potential of them was revealed to be highest for Mokpo among the six cities, followed by Busan, Cheju, Inchun, Taegu, and Seoul in descending order For the flood hazard potential associated with a typhoon, Busan was ranked to be the highest hazard potential area, followed by Mokpo, Cheju, Seoul, Inckun, and Taegu. In terms of the overall typhoon hazard potential, cities in the southern coastal regions were identified as being exposed to the most severe typhoon hazard.

In this paper, a dynamic warning system to forecast inland flooding associated with typhoons and storms is described. The system is used operationally during the typhoon season to anticipate the potential impact such as inland flooding on the coastal zone of interest. The system has been developed for the use of the public and emergency management officials. Simple typhoon models for quick prediction of wind fields are implemented in a user-friendly way by using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of MATLAB. The main program for simulating tides, depth-averaged tidal currents, wind-driven surges and currents was also vectorized for the fast performance by MATLAB. By pushing buttons and clicking the typhoon paths, the user is able to obtain real-time water level fluctuation of specific points and the flooding zone. This system would guide local officials to make systematic use of threat information possible. However, the model results are sensitive to typhoon path, and it is yet difficult to provide accurate information to local emergency managers.

Kangwon province has been suffering from the various types of disasters and these disasters stand in the way to sustainable development. The heavy rainfall by typhoon RUSA in 2002 and HAEMI in 2003 damaged to property and bodily injury, and gave us a lesson. Even if the refuge activities plan by local government plan for disaster were established with rainfall event, it could not its role in practice. Beside it, the potential disaster risk remains still in existence because the disaster restoration work aims to original state. Therefore, in this study we focused on the point at issue of disaster countermeasure plan by local government and its integrated plan considering local characteristics.

최근 한반도는 과거 최대 강우량의 기록을 갱신하는 집중호우가 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 2000년대 들어 기상재해에 대한 피해 규모가 수조원에 달한다. 자연재해를 예방하여 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 미래에 발생 가능성이 있는 재해를 사전에 예측하고, 재난발생 가능성을 감소시키며, 발생한 재난의 피해를 최소화시키기 위한 활동이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2003년도에 발생한 태풍 'Maemi'의 영향으로 부산과 경남지역에 발생 가능한 최대 풍피해의 정도를 예측해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 태풍의 중심기압과 태풍의 이동경로와 대상지역의 거리를 이용하여 3-second gust를 산정하였고, 이를 이용하여 시 군 구 단위의 주택에 대한 최대 풍피해 분포 특성을 파악하였다. 태풍 Meami에 의한 부산 경남지방의 3-second gust를 산정한 결과 풍속이 25m/s 이상의 폭풍영역에 해당되는 지역은 김해시, 강서구, 남해군, 고성군, 창원시, 사상구, 북구, 함안군, 통영시, 하동군, 거제시, 사천시이고, 강풍영역에는 대부분의 지역이 포함되었다. 그 중에서 3-second gust가 가장 높았던 지역은 북구와 사상구였고, 다음으로 강서구 창원시 사천시, 함안군 이였으며, 마산시, 김해시, 거제시 그리고 양산시가 다음으로 높게 나타났다. 고성군은 3-second gust가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 부산과 경남지방의 집 한 채 피해액은 북구와 강서구, 사상구가 가장 높게나왔고, 다음으로 사천시와 창원시 순으로 높게 나타났다. 거창군은 부산 경남지방 중에서 가장 낮은 피해액이 나타났다. 이러한 결과에는 그 지역에서 발생 가능한 3-second gust의 영향이 크게 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 태풍의 특성 자료를 제외한 자료의 경우 국내 자료의 한계로 인해 국외 자료를 이용하거나, 가정을 통해 계산을 진행하였다. 그러나 향후 보다 정확한 최대 풍피해를 평가하기 위해서는 기초자료의 마련이 반드시 이루어져야한다.

The intensive observation (ProbeX-2010) with 6-hour launches of radiosonde was performed over Seoul metropolitan area (Dongducheon, Incheon Airport, and Yangpyeong) from 13 Aug. to 3 Sep. 2010. Five typical heavy rainfall patterns occurred consecutively which are squall line, stationary front, remote tropical cyclone (TC), tropical depression, and typhoon patterns. On 15 Aug. 03 KST, when squall line developed over Seoul metropolitan area, dry mid-level air was drawn over warm and moist low-level air, inducing strong convective instability. From 23 to 26 Aug and from 27 to 29 Aug. Rainfall event occurred influenced by stationary front and remote TC, respectively. During the stationary frontal rainy period, thermal instability was dominant in the beginning stage, but dynamic instability became strong in the latter stage. Especially, heavy rainfall occurred on 25 Aug. when southerly low level jet formed over the Yellow Sea. During the rainy period by the remote TC, thermal and dynamic instability sustained together. Especially, heavy rainfall event occurred on 29 Aug. when the tropical air with high equivalent potential temperature (>345 K) occupied the deep low-middle level. On 27 Aug. and 2 Sep. tropical depression and typhoon Kompasu affected Seoul metropolitan area, respectively. During these events, dynamic instability was very strong.
