Present study continues an earlier hydrodynamic modeling of the Han River (Choi and Ann. 1992) by adopting an implicit scheme with branch transformation algorithm to improve computational efficiency. The established model was used to compute steady flow conditions and also to hindcast 1925. 1972. 1984 and 1990 floods. Discussions wert made on related problems and further improvements of the model.

A SS prediction system using GUI in coastal region has been developed to predict the dispersion of the suspended sediments occurred by dredging. The prediction system uses a finite element hydrodynamic model to calculate water level and velocities and a random-walk particle tracking model to simulate SS dispersion. The system was applied to hindcast the tidal currents and SS concentrations in the Kunsan coastal waters. The simulated tidal currents showed good agreements with the observed currents. The transport model was verified for analytic solutions and field observation showing good agreements.

근래 들어 우리나라 동해안에서 이상고파라 불리는 너울성 고파가 자주 발생하여 상당한 인명 피해를 야기하는 등 사회적으로 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 이상고파는 일반적으로 동해상에서 발달한 강한 저기압에 의해 발생한 고파가 상대적으로 주기가 긴 너울의 특성을 띄며 우리나라 연안에 도달하여 피해를 발생시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 연안에 해상상태가 잦아지는 상황에서 갑작스럽게 전파되어 오기 때문에 많은 인명피해가 발생하게 된다. 현재 미국 등의 해양예보 선진국들은 파랑모델을 운용하여 너울을 포함한 파랑예보를 수행하고 있으며, 해상부이 등의 다양한 파랑관측을 통해 그 성능을 향상시키고 있다. 우리나라에서도 선진 해양예보시스템을 활용하여 이상고파를 예측하고자 하는 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있으며 정부 관련 부처를 중심으로 그에 대한 연구가 점차 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 파랑모델을 활용하여 기존에 발생한 이상고파 피해사례에 대한 후측모의를 수행하고 우리나라에서 발생하는 이상고파의 발달과정을 분석하였다. 또한, 파랑모델의 후측모의 결과를 관측자료와 비교하여 모델의 성능을 검증하고 문제점을 분석하였다.

Various loads induced by marine environmental conditions, such as waves, currents, and wind, are crucial for the operation and viability of offshore wind power (OWP) systems. In particular, waves have a significant impact on the stress and fatigue load of offshore structures, and highly reliable design parameters should be derived through extreme value analysis (EVA) techniques. In this study, extreme wave analyses were conducted with various Weibull distribution models to determine the reliable design parameters of an OWP system suitable for the Ulsan area. Forty-three years of long-term hindcast data generated by a numerical wave model were adopted as the analyses data, and the least-squares method was used to estimate the parameters of the distribution function for EVA. The inverse first-order reliability method was employed as the EVA technique. The obtained results were compared among themselves under the assumption that the marginal probability distributions were 2p, 3p, and exponentiated Weibull distributions.

In this study, the wave energy potential (WEP) was evaluated using the wave data measured at nine stations along the Korean east coast and compared with the results of previous studies. Along the Korean east coast, seasonal variations in the WEP were around 6.4 kW/m in winter and 1.2 kW/m in summer, greater than spatial variations of 2.5~4.3 kW/m. In most stations, the wave power during June to July were shown to be smallest. The estimated annual average WEP was greatest in the Mukho and Jukbyeon stations located in the middle of the Korean east coast at around 4.3 kW/m, and smallest in the Jinha station at around 2.5 kW/m. The results found using the previous hindcast data showed WEP having a tendency to decrease from south to north. However, in this study, the WEP showed a tendency of being greatest in the middle of the Korean east coast and decreasing in both north and south directions.

The GloSea5 (Global Seasonal forecasting system version 5) is provided and operated by the KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration). GloSea5 provides Forecast (FCST) and Hindcast (HCST) data and its horizontal resolution is about 60km ($0.83^{\circ}{\times}0.56^{\circ}$) in the mid-latitudes. In order to use this data in watershed-scale water management, GloSea5 needs spatial-temporal downscaling. As such, statistical downscaling was used to correct for systematic biases of variables and to improve data reliability. HCST data is provided in ensemble format, and the highest statistical correlation ($R^2=0.60$, RMSE = 88.92, NSE = 0.57) of ensemble precipitation was reported for the Yongdam Dam watershed on the #6 grid. Additionally, the original GloSea5 (600.1 mm) showed the greatest difference (-26.5%) compared to observations (816.1 mm) during the summer flood season. However, downscaled GloSea5 was shown to have only a -3.1% error rate. Most of the underestimated results corresponded to precipitation levels during the flood season and the downscaled GloSea5 showed important results of restoration in precipitation levels. Per the analysis results of spatial autocorrelation using seasonal Moran's I, the spatial distribution was shown to be statistically significant. These results can improve the uncertainty of original GloSea5 and substantiate its spatial-temporal accuracy and validity. The spatial-temporal reproducibility assessment will play a very important role as basic data for watershed-scale water management.

In order to utilize 6-month precipitation forecasts (6 months at maximum) of Global Seasonal Forecast System version 5 (GloSea5), which is being provided by KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) since 2014, for water resources management as well as other applications, it is needed to correct the forecast model's quantitative bias against observations. This study evaluated applicability of bias-correction skill in GloSea5 and selected an optimal method among 11 techniques that include probabilistic distribution type based, parametric, and non-parametric bias-correction to fix GloSea5's bias in precipitation forecasts. Non-parametric bias-correction provided the most similar results with observed data compared to other techniques in hindcast for the past events, yet relatively generated some discrepancies in forecast. On the contrary, parametric bias-correction produced the most reliable results in both hindcast and forecast periods. The results of this study are expected to be applicable to various applications using seasonal forecast model such as water resources operation and management, hydropower, agriculture, etc.

Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) prediction information which have 2 weeks to 2 months lead time are expected to be used through many parts of industry fields, but utilizability is not reached to expectation because of lower predictability than weather forecast and mid- /long-term forecast. In this study, we used multi-layer perceptron (MLP) which is one of machine learning technique that was built for regression training in order to improve predictability of S2S precipitation data at South Korea through post-processing. Hindcast information of ECMWF was used for MLP training and the original data were compared with trained outputs based on dichotomous forecast technique. As a result, Bias score, accuracy, and Critical Success Index (CSI) of trained output were improved on average by 59.7%, 124.3% and 88.5%, respectively. Probability of detection (POD) score was decreased on average by 9.5% and the reason was analyzed that ECMWF's model excessively predicted precipitation days. In this study, we confirmed that predictability of ECMWF's S2S information can be improved by post-processing using MLP even the predictability of original data was low. The results of this study can be used to increase the capability of S2S information in water resource and agricultural fields.

In this study, we examined the error characteristic and bias correction method for one-month temperature forecast data produced through joint development between the Rural Development Administration and the H ong Kong University of Science and Technology. For this purpose, hindcast data from 2013 to 2021, weather observation data, and various environmental information were collected and error characteristics under various environmental conditions were analyzed. In the case of maximum and minimum temperatures, the higher the elevation and latitude, the larger the forecast error. On average, the RMSE of the forecast data corrected by the linear regression model and the XGBoost decreased by 0.203, 0.438 (maximum temperature) and 0.069, 0.390 (minimum temperature), respectively, compared to the uncorrected forecast data. Overall, XGBoost showed better error improvement than the linear regression model. Through this study, it was found that errors in prediction data are affected by topographical conditions, and that machine learning methods such as XGBoost can effectively improve errors by considering various environmental factors.
