Diverse researches using vegetation index have been carried out to monitor spring droughts that have frequently occurred since 2000. The strength of the drought monitoring using vegetation index lies in that it can reflect characteristics of satellite images: large area coverage, cyclicity, and promptness. However, vegetation index involve uncertainly caused by diverse factors that affect vegetation stress. In this study, multi-temporal vegetation index is compared with the most representative meteorological drought indices like PSDI, SPI. Based on the results from analyses, usability of vegetation index as a tool of drought analysis is proposed.

Drought is a natural disaster that can have serious social impacts. Drought's impact ranges from water supply for humans to ecosystems, but the impact of drought on river water quality requires careful investigation. In general, drought occurs meteorologically and is classified as agricultural drought, hydrological drought, and environmental drought. In this study, the BOD environmental drought is defined using the bivariate copula joint probability distribution model between the meteorological drought index and the river BOD, and based on this, the environmental drought condition index (EDCI-BOD) was proposed. The results of examining the proposed index using past precipitation and BOD observation data showed that EDCI-BOD expressed environmental drought well in terms of river BOD water quality. In addition, by classifying the calculated EDCI-BOD into four levels, namely, 'attention', 'caution', 'alert', and 'seriousness', a practical monitoring stage for environmental drought of BOD was constructed. We further estimated the sensitivity of the stream BOD to meteorological drought, and through this, we could identify the stream section in which the stream BOD responded relatively more sensitively to the occurrence of meteorological drought. The results of this study are expected to provide information necessary for river BOD management in the event of meteorological droughts.

North Korea has frequently suffered from extreme agricultural crop droughts, which have led to food shortages, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The increasing frequency of extreme droughts, due to global warming and climate change, has increased the importance of enhancing the national capacity for drought management. Historically, a meteorological drought index based on data collected from weather stations has been widely used. But it has limitations in terms of the distribution of weather stations and the spatial pattern of drought impacts. Satellite-based data can be obtained with the same accuracy and at regular intervals, and is useful for long-term change analysis and environmental monitoring and wide area access in time and space. The Evaporative Stress Index (ESI), a satellite-based drought index using the ratio of potential and actual evaporation, is being used to detect drought response as a index of the droughts occurring rapidly over short periods of time. It is more accurate and provides faster analysis of drought conditions compared to the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). In this study, we analyze drought events during 2015-2017 in North Korea using the ESI satellite-based drought index to determine drought response by comparing with it with the SPI and SPEI drought indices.

The extreme 2017 spring drought affected a large portion of central and western South Korea, and was one of the most climatologically driest spring seasons over the 1961-2016 period of record. This drought was characterized by exceptionally low precipitation, with total precipitation from January to June being 50% lower than the mean normal precipitation (1981-2010) over most of western South Korea. In this study, for the quantitative drought impact analysis, the widely-used Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the statistical drought frequency are compared with observed meteorological characteristics and anomalies. According to the drought frequency analysis of monthly cumulative precipitation during January and May in 2017, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, and Jeollanam-do areas showed more than drought frequency over 100 years. Gyeongsangnam-do area showed more than drought frequency over 200 years based on annual precipitation in 2017. The South Korean government (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) and Korea Rural Community Corporation (KRC)) have been operating a government-level drought monitoring system since 2016. Results from this study can be used to improve the drought monitoring applications of future drought events, as well as drought planning and preparedness in South Korea.

저수량은 가용한 수자원의 양을 가장 직접적으로 나타내는 인자중의 하나이다. 또한 가뭄의 영향을 보다 직관적으로 나타낼 수 있으므로, 가뭄 평가를 위한 연구에서도 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 최근에는 광학영상으로 저수면적을 관측하고, 또 이를 활용한 수문학적 가뭄지수인 RADI가 개발되기도 하였다. 인공위성을 통해 얻을 수 있는 광학영상은 관측주기가 뛰어나 많은 양의 자료를 획득할 수 있으나, 구름 등 기상과 대기환경에 의한 영향에 취약하여 실제 활용에서는 다소 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기상이나, 관측시간대와 상관없이 영상을 획득할 수 있는 SAR 영상을 활용한 가뭄지수 산정 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. Sentinel-1 위성의 SAR 영상을 활용하여 충북 진천군에 위치한 백곡, 초평저수지의 저수면적을 탐지하여, RADI를 산정하여 지역규모 가뭄 모니터링을 수행하였다. RADI는 실측 저수량을 기반으로 한 RSDI와 비교, 검증하였다. RADI는 RSDI와 상관계수 r=0.87, ROC의 밑면적 AUC=0.97로 매우 높은 상관 관계를 보여주었다. 이 결과는 SAR 기반 RADI의 지역규모 수문학적 가뭄 모니터링의 가능성을 보여주며, 추후 가용 SAR 영상의 종류가 늘어나고, 재방문주기가 단축될 것이므로 가뭄 모니터링에 대한 활용성이 증대될 것으로 기대된다.

Drought events are not clear when those start and end compared with other natural disasters. Because drought events have different timing and severity of damage depending on the region, various studies are being conducted using satellite images to identify regional drought occurrence differences. In this study, we investigated the applicability of drought assessment using the Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images. The ESI is an indicator of agricultural drought that describes anomalies in actual and reference evapotranspiration (ET) ratios that are retrieved using remotely sensed inputs of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Leaf Area Index (LAI). However, these approaches have a limited spatial resolution when mapping detailed vegetation stress caused by drought, and drought hazard in the actual crop cultivation areas due to the small crop cultivation in South Korea. For these reasons, the development of a drought index that provides detailed higher resolution ESI, a 500 m resolution image is essential to improve the country's drought monitoring capabilities. The newly calculated ESI was verified through the existing 5 km resolution ESI and historical records for drought impacts. This study evaluates the performance of the recently developed 500 m resolution ESI for severe and extreme drought events that occurred in South Korea in 2001, 2009, 2014, and 2017. As a result, the two ES Is showed high correlation and tendency using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis. In addition, it will provide the necessary information on the spatial resolution to evaluate regional drought hazard assessment and and the small-scale cultivation area across South Korea.

Groundwater is considered to be the best water resource to solve water shortage problems during drought periods. Even though excessive pumping (overdraft) during short-period may give an unprofitable effect on groundwater hydrology, it has a primary role to solve a lack of water resources and to maintain incomes of farmers. This study evaluated maximum irrigation amounts of groundwater to each local-government and province during drought periods. Maximum irrigation amounts of groundwater were evaluated using cumulative groundwater usage data of each local-government during normal and drought years. Maximum irrigation amounts of groundwater during drought periods would be roughly identified as approximately 1.3 times more than the exploitable amounts of groundwater resources for each local-government. Drawdown-limitation depth on groundwater levels at each monitoring well was determined by transforming the maximum irrigating amounts into degree of change on levels. Universal limitation depth of drawdown on groundwater levels was evaluated to be approximately three times of annual fluctuating range on groundwater levels for each monitoring well. Systematic response on groundwater demands with abiding by drawdown-limitation depth can attain an optimal irrigation of groundwater resources during short-term drought.

In this study, the MODIS NDVI for the period of $2000{\sim}2007$ was collected and processed to obtain VCI and SVI which are the quantitative indexes of drought. The VCI and SVI based on NDVI can be used for understanding seasonal pattern of vegetation, drought identification and quantitative analysis of drought. VCI and SVI compared with monthly precipitation ratio to average, Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI), and etc., which are used to identify spring drought, to analyze drought region, similarity and difference in drought severity. In addition, frequency of Spring droughts were calculated for the period of $2000{\sim}2007$, and the usability of the MODIS images as a tool for establishing countermeasures against drought was presented by analyzing drought frequently areas.

가뭄은 주요 자연 재해 중의 하나이다. 가뭄 파악을 위하여 주로 강우량과 같은 기상자료를 주요 입력 자료로 활용하여 분석하고 있으나 이러한 기상 자료는 한정된 기상 관측소로부터 얻어진 점자료에 해당된다. 따라서, 기상자료를 이용한 분석에서는 시간적 혹은 공간적으로 원하는 자료의 제공이 원활하게 이루어지지 않을 수 있다. 원격탐사 자료는 가뭄분석을 위하여 기상자료에서 포착할 수 없는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는NOAA 위성에 탑재되어 있는 AVHRR 센서로부터 얻어지는 자료를 이용하여 가뭄 파악을 위한 분석을 실시하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 NOAA/AVHRR로부터 얻어진 식생지수(NDVI)와 이로부터 얻을 수 있는 식생상태지수(VCI)를 이용하여 가뭄 분석을 실시하였으며, 이들 지수는 가뭄으로부터 기인된 식생 스트레스를 파악하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 가뭄에 대한 시간적, 공간적 특성을 파악하는데 위성자료가 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, VCI를 통하여 가뭄 지역도 작성이 가능함을 보여주고 있다.
