Climate change has been obtained researchers' interest, especially in water resources engineering to adjust current conditions to the new circumstance influenced by climate change. In this study, WRF-ARW will be evaluated the capability to estimate distributed precipitation using global weather information instead of the data from rainfall observatory or radar. Cheongmi watershed is selected and adopted to generate a distributed rainfall-runoff model using ModClark. The results from the distributed model with precipitation data from WRF-ARW and the lumped model using observed precipitation data were compared to the observed discharge values. The final results showed that the distributed model, ModClark generated similar pattern of hydrograph to the observations in terms of the time and amount of peak discharge. In addition, the trend of hydrograph from the distributed model presented similar pattern to the observations.

급격한 기상이변과 자연현상의 변화에 의해 자연재해가 발생하며, 이러한 변화로 인해 전 세계적으로 환경뿐만 아니라 방재의 중요성 또한 대두되고 있으나, 강우 강도의 예측 분야에서는 여유추정시간의 차이로 인해 방재현상에 대한 구체적인 협력을 하지 못했던 것이 사실이다. 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 레이더 강우자료와 지상 우량계의 강우자료는 여유추정시간이 3시간에서 4시간 사이의 단기 예측만을 가능하게 한다. 본 연구에서는 이의 개선을 위하여 청미천 유역을 대상으로 GIS를 이용하여 CN value를 추출하고, 지역 강우 모형인 Weather Research Forecast(WRF) - Advanced Research WRF(ARW)를 통하여 모의한 강우자료에 대하여 과거 같은 기간의 강우자료와 비교 검증한 후 지역 강우 모형을 통하여 모의한 자료를 HEC-HMS의 Input자료로 활용하여 지역 유출량을 산정한다. 또한 유역의 지표면 유출 모의를 통하여 강우-유출현상과 수리-수문학적 과정을 상호 연결하고, 강우에 의한 유역 지표면에서의 유출을 도출하며, 최적화된 매개변수들의 조합을 개선하여 대상유역의 현상을 보다 유사하게 나타낼 것이다. 이와 함께 WRF-ARW 모형을 통하여 여유추정시간의 증가를 모색하며 그로인한 홍수예측 및 경계체계를 확립하기 위해 연구를 진행한다. 이 지역강우 모형의 대한민국 지형의 적용성 즉, 대한민국 지형에 가장 잘 어울리는 최적화된 매개변수들의 조합을 알아내고 그의 적용현실성을 찾아내려 한다. 더 나아가 강우에 대한 예측을 통해 홍수 경보 체계를 위한 자료로 활용할 수 있는 방안 또한 모색할 것이다.

기후변화는 전 세계적으로 많은 관심을 얻고 있으며 그로 인한 재산과 인명피해의 증가가 우려되고 있다. 기후변화에 대해 가장 취약한 부분은 수자원분야이며 수자원 활용의 극대화를 위하여 여러 예측방법이 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상변화의 예측 및 모델링 기법 중 하나와 수문모델의 융합 기법을 활용하였다. 선행 연구에서는 레이더 강우자료와 지상 우량계의 강우자료로 여유추정시간에 대한 단기 예측만이 가능하게 하였는데 이 방법은 조금 더 여유 추정시간을 증가 시키는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 여유추정시간의 증가에 대한 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 청미천 유역을 대상으로 연구를 실시하였다. 연구 방법으로는 ArcGIS와 Arc-View을 사용하여 대상유역의 Curve Number (CN) 값을 추출하고, 강우예측모형인 Weather Research Forecast (WRF) - Advanced Research WRF (ARW) 결과자료와 과거 강우자료의 비교 검증을 통하여 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 두 자료는 HEC-HMS의 입력자료가 되며, 이를 바탕으로 지역 유출량 산정 및 지표면 유출 모의를 통한 강우-유출현상을 검토 자료로 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 청미천 유역 지표면에서의 강우-유출모의를 개선하여 대상유역의 현상을 보다 유사하게 나타내고자 하였으며, 이와 함께 WRF-ARW 모형을 통하여 여유추정시간의 증가를 모색하고 지역강우 모형이 대한민국 지형의 잘 어울리는 최적화된 매개변수들의 조합을 알아내고 그의 적용현실성을 평가하고자 한다.

The interaction between land surface and atmosphere is essentially affected by hydrometeorological variables including soil moisture. Accurate estimation of soil moisture at spatial and temporal scales is crucial to better understand its roles to the weather systems. The KLDAS(Korea Land Data Assimilation System) is a regional, specifically Korea peninsula land surface information systems. As other prior land data assimilation systems, this can provide initial soil field information which can be used in atmospheric simulations. For this study, as an enabling high-resolution tool, weather research and forecasting(WRF-ARW) model is applied to produce precipitation data using GFS(Global Forecast System) with GFS embedded and KLDAS soil moisture information as initialization data. WRF-ARW generates precipitation data for a specific region using different parameters in physics options. The produced precipitation data will be employed for simulations of Hydrological Models such as HEC(Hydrologic Engineering Center) - HMS(Hydrologic Modeling System) as predefined input data for selected regional water responses. The purpose of this study is to show the impact of a hydrometeorological variable such as soil moisture in KLDAS on hydrological consequences in Korea peninsula. The study region, Chongmi River Basin, is located in the center of Korea Peninsular. This has 60.8Km river length and 17.01% slope. This region mostly consists of farming field however the chosen study area placed in mountainous area. The length of river basin perimeter is 185Km and the average width of river is 9.53 meter with 676 meter highest elevation in this region. We have four different observation locations : Sulsung, Taepyung, Samjook, and Sangkeug observatoriesn, This watershed is selected as a tentative research location and continuously studied for getting hydrological effects from land surface information. Simulations for a real regional storm case(June 17~ June 25, 2006) are executed. WRF-ARW for this case study used WSM6 as a micro physics, Kain-Fritcsch Scheme for cumulus scheme, and YSU scheme for planetary boundary layer. The results of WRF simulations generate excellent precipitation data in terms of peak precipitation and date, and the pattern of daily precipitation for four locations. For Sankeug observatory, WRF overestimated precipitation approximately 100 mm/day on July 17, 2006. Taepyung and Samjook display that WRF produced either with KLDAS or with GFS embedded initial soil moisture data higher precipitation amounts compared to observation. Results and discussions in detail on accuracy of prediction using formerly mentioned manners are going to be presented in 2011 Annual Conference of the Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation.

To reduce the flood risk caused by unexpected heavy rainfall, many prediction methods for flood have been developed. A major constituent of flood prediction is an accurate rainfall estimation which is an input of hydrologic models. In this study, a regional-scale weather model which can provide relatively longer lead time for flood mitigation compared to the Nowcasting based on radar system will be introduced and applied to the Chongmi river basin located in central part of South Korea. The duration of application of a regional weather model is from July 11 to July 23 in 2006. The estimated rainfall amounts were compared with observations from rain gauges (Sangkeuk, Samjook, and Sulsung). For this rainfall event at Chongmi river basin, Thomson and Kain-Frisch Schemes for microphysics and cumulus parameterization, respectively, were selected as optimal physical conditions to present rainfall fall amount in terms of Mean Absolute Relative Errors (MARE>0.45).

In this study, we examined the new ensemble training approach to reduce the systematic error and improve prediction skill of wind by using the Short-range Ensemble prediction system (SENSE), which is the mesoscale multi-model ensemble prediction system. The SENSE has 16 ensemble members based on the MM5, WRF ARW, and WRF NMM. We evaluated the skill of surface wind prediction compared with AWS (Automatic Weather Station) observation during the summer season (June - August, 2006). At first stage, the correction of initial state for each member was performed with respect to the observed values, and the corrected members get the training stage to find out an adaptive weight function, which is formulated by Root Mean Square Vector Error (RMSVE). It was found that the optimal training period was 1-day through the experiments of sensitivity to the training interval. We obtained the weighted ensemble average which reveals smaller errors of the spatial and temporal pattern of wind speed than those of the simple ensemble average.

A simple but practical Ensemble Prediction System(EPS) for wind power forecasting was developed and evaluated using the measurement of the offshore meteorological tower, HeMOSU-1(Herald of Meteorological and Oceanographic Special Unite-1) installed at the Southwest Offshore in South Korea. The EPS developed by the Korea Institute of Energy Research is based on a simple ensemble mean of two Numerical Weather Prediction(NWP) models, WRF-NMM and WRF-ARW. In addition, the Kalman Filter is applied for real-time quality improvement of wind ensembles. All forecasts with EPS were analyzed in comparison with the HeMOSU-1 measurements at 97 m above sea level during Typhoon Bolaven episode in August 2012. The results indicate that EPS was in the best agreement with the in-situ measurement regarding (peak) wind speed and cut-out speed incidence. The RMSE of wind speed was 1.44 m/s while the incidence time lag of cut-out wind speed was 0 hour, which means that the EPS properly predicted a development and its movement. The duration of cut-out wind speed period by the EPS was also acceptable. This study is anticipated to provide a useful quantitative guide and information for a large-scale offshore wind farm operation in the decision making of wind turbine control especially during a typhoon episode.

A comprehensive approach for modeling the pulse height spectra of gamma-ray detectors from passing radioactive cloud in a case of accident at NPP has been developed. It involves modeling the transport of radionuclides in the atmosphere using Lagrangian stochastic model, WRF meteorological processor with an ARW core and GFS data to obtain spatial distribution of radionuclides in the air at a given moment of time. Applying representation of the cloud as superposition of elementary sources of gamma radiation the pulse height spectra are calculated based on data on flux density from point isotropic sources and detector response function. The proposed approach allows us to obtain time-dependent spectra for any complex radionuclide composition of the release. The results of modeling the pulse height spectra of the scintillator detector NaI(Tl) Ø63×63 mm for a hypothetical severe accident at a NPP are presented.
