기후변화에 따른 기상변화가 집중호우 및 돌발홍수 등의 형태로 가시화 되고 있으며, IPCC 보고서(2007)는 21세기 후반까지 온도상승으로 인한 폭우 및 태풍이 점차 강력해질 것이라는 예측을 하였다. 이러한 예측의 대응으로 전 세계는 $CO_2$ 감축을 위한 노력이 진행중에 있으며, $CO_2$ 변화에 따른 미래 강수의 빈도해석을 해야한다는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기상청 지역기후모델(KMA-RegCM3) A1B시나리오의 강우 자료를 이용하여 Quantile-Mapping을 실시한 후 지역빈도해석을 실시하였다. 대상지역은 국내 전역에 위치한 기상청 산하 58개 관측소를 선정하였다. Hosking(1997)이 제안한 L-moment 알고리즘을 이용하여 지역빈도해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 A2 시나리오보다 상대적으로 $CO_2$ 배출량이 낮은 A1B시나리오 역시 모든 지역에서 확률강수량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Variability of precipitation pattern and intensity are increasing due to the urbanization and industrialization which induce increasing impervious area and the climate change. Therefore, more severe urban inundation and flood damage will be occurred by localized heavy precipitation event in the future. In this study, we analyze the future frequency based precipitation under climate change based on the regional frequency analysis. The observed precipitation data from 58 stations provided by Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) are collected and the data period is more than 30 years. Then the frequency based precipitation for the observed data by regional frequency analysis are estimated. In order to remove the bias from the simulated precipitation by RCP scenarios, the quantile mapping method and outlier test are used. The regional frequency analysis using L-moment method(Hosking and Wallis, 1997) is performed and the future frequency based precipitation for 80, 100, and 200 years of return period are estimated. As a result, future frequency based precipitation in South Korea will be increased by 25 to 27 percent. Especially the result for Jeju Island shows that the increasing rate will be higher than other areas. Severe heavy precipitation could be more and more frequently occurred in the future due to the climate change and the runoff characteristics will be also changed by urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. Therefore, we need prepare flood prevention measures for our flood safety in the future.

In this study we estimated ETCCDI and frequency based precipitation using observed precipitation and precipitation from Representative Concentration Pathway(RCP) scenarios for 58 weather stations which have the recorded data more than 30 years. We tried to eliminate the bias by Quantile Mapping and tested for outliers of simulated data under climate change scenario. Then we estimated ETCCDI related to precipitation and frequency based precipitation for the future. In addition to this study examined the changes of frequency based precipitation for the future target periods. According to the result, dry days will be increased in Korean Peninsula in the 2090s. Also it showed that the number of heavy precipitation day more than 80mm/day tends to be increased in 3~7% in the future. The precipitation of 24-hour duration under climate change will be increased by 17.7% for 80-year frequency, 18.2% for 100-year frequency and 19.6% for 200-year frequency in 2090s. In the 21st century, the damage caused by natural disasters is expected to be increased due to increase of precipitation and the change of runoff characteristics under climate change. Therefore, the proposed ETCCDI and precipitation frequency under climate change are expected to be used for the future natural disaster plan.

Many climate studies have used the general circulation models (GCMs) for climate change, which can be currently available more than sixty GCMs as part of the Assessment Report (AR5). There are several types of uncertainty in climate studies using GCMs. Various studies are currently being conducted to reduce the uncertainty associated with GCMs, and the bias correction method used to reduce the difference between the simulated and the observed rainfall. Therefore, this study mainly considered climate change scenarios from nine GCMs, and then quantile mapping methods were applied to correct biases in climate change scenarios for each station during the historical period (1970-2005). Moreover, the monthly rainfall for the future period (2011-2100) is obtained from the RCP 4.5 scenario. Based on the bias-corrected rainfall, the standard deviation and the inter-quartile range (IQR) from the first to third quartiles were estimated. For 2071-2100, the uncertainty for the selection of GCMs is larger than that for the selection of bias correction methods and vice versa for 2011-2040. Therefore, this study showed that the selection of GCMs and the bias correction methods can affect the result for the future climate projection.

This study presented evaluation procedure for selecting appropriate GCMs and downscaling method by focusing on the climate extreme indices suitable for climate change adaptation. The procedure includes six stages of processes as follows: 1) exclusion of unsuitable GCM through raw GCM analysis before bias correction; 2) calculation of the climate extreme indices and selection of downscaling method by evaluating reproducibility for the past and distortion rate for the future period; 3) selection of downscaling method based on evaluation of reproducibility of spatial correlation among weather stations; and 4) MME calculation using weight factors and evaluation of uncertainty range depending on number of GCMs. The presented procedure was applied to 60 weather stations where there are observed data for the past 30 year period on Korea Peninsula. First, 22 GCMs were selected through the evaluation of the spatio-temporal reproducibility of 29 GCMs. Between Simple Quantile Mapping (SQM) and Spatial Disaggregation Quantile Delta Mapping (SDQDM) methods, SQM was selected based on the reproducibility of 27 climate extreme indices for the past and reproducibility evaluation of spatial correlation in precipitation and temperature. Total precipitation (prcptot) and annual 1-day maximum precipitation (rx1day), which is respectively related to water supply and floods, were selected and MME-based future projections were estimated for near-future (2010-2039), the mid-future (2040-2069), and the far-future (2070-2099) based on the weight factors by GCM. The prcptot and rx1day increased as time goes farther from the near-future to the far-future and RCP 8.5 showed a higher rate of increase in both indices compared to RCP 4.5 scenario. It was also found that use of 20 GCM out of 22 explains 80% of the overall variation in all combinations of RCP scenarios and future periods. The result of this study is an example of an application in Korea Peninsula and APCC Integrated Modeling Solution (AIMS) can be utilized in various areas and fields if users want to apply the proposed procedure directly to a target area.

This research proposes the suitable method for estimating the future probable rainfall based in 2100 on the observed rainfall data from main climate observation stations in Korea and the rainfall data from the A1B climate change scenario in the Korea Meteorological Administration. For all those, the frequency probable rainfall in 2100 was estimated by the relationship between average values of 24-hours annual maximum rainfalls and related parameters. Three methods to estimate it were introduced; First one is the regressive analysis method by parameters of probable distribution estimated by observed rainfall data. In the second method, parameters of probable distribution were estimated with the observed rainfall data. Also the rainfall data till 2100 were estimated by the A1B scenario of the Korea Meteorological Administration. Last method was that parameters of probable distribution and probable rainfall were estimated by the A1B scenario of the Korea Meteorological Administration. The estimated probable rainfall by the A1B scenario was smaller than the observed rainfall data, so it is required that the estimated probable rainfall was calibrated by the quantile mapping method. After that calibration, estimated probable rainfall data was averagely became approximate 2.3 to 3.0 times. When future probable rainfall was the estimated by only observed rainfall, estimated probable rainfall was overestimated. When future probable rainfall was estimated by the A1B scenario, although it was estimated by similar pattern with observed rainfall data, it frequently does not consider the regional characteristics. Comparing with average increased rate of 24-hours annual maximum rainfall and increased rate of probable rainfall estimated by three methods, optimal method of estimated future probable rainfall would be selected for considering climate change.

The tidal flats of Korea today have reduced by 40% in size compared to 1964. To manage this important habitat properly, development of well-organized and nationwide-applicable grading systems is required. There have been several assessment systems proposed previously in Korea, but they are critically flawed in that selected biological indicators are not adequate and grading criteria are obscure and arbitrary. We reviewed the indicators used in these previous evaluation systems (e.g., diversity indices, quantity and quality of benthic macrofauna, halophytes, water birds, etc.) and subsequently proposed new indicators and an improved grading scheme. For the quantitative assessment of macrobenthic community, biomass reflecting production and ecosystem function is recommended over density, which is much less discriminatory among habitats. Of biodiversity indices used, within-, between-habitat and regional biodiversity indices that accurately reflect sampling efforts are suggested. In addition, we proposed to include species rarity, ecosystem engineers, and the ecological quality index ISEP (Inverse function of Shannon-Wiener Evenness Proportion). As for halophytes, their low spatial coverage on benthic habitat suggests that their presence can be used as an ecological indicator of benthic habitat, regardless of their protective status. We stress the need to introduce 1) quantile approach for quantitative indicators (e.g., diversity, biomass, etc.) in relation to grading, 2) presence-absence approach for spatial or aggregate indicators (e.g., boundaries of halophytes and feeding ground of water birds) and 3) benthic habitat mapping that combines all of these indicators.

As occurrence of gradually increasing extreme temperature events in Jeju Island, a hybrid downscaling technique that simultaneously applies by dynamical method and statistical method has implemented on design rainfall in order to reduce flood damages from severe storms and typhoons.As a result of computation, Case 1 shows a strong tendency to excessively compute rainfall, which is continuously increasing. While Case 2 showed similar trend as Case 1, low design rainfall has computed by rainfall in A1B scenario. Based on the design rainfall computation method mainly used in Preventive Disaster System through Pre-disaster Effect Examination System and Basic Plan for River of Jeju Island which are considering climatic change for selecting 50-year and 100-year frequencies. Case 3 selecting for Jeju rain gage station and Case 1 for Seogwipo rain gage station. The results were different for each rain gage station because of difference in rainfall characteristics according to recent climatic change, and the risk of currently known design rainfall can be increased in near future.

최근 기후변화에 대한 관심이 급증하면서 기후변화로 인한 여러 가지 문제점들이 드러나며 가뭄에 대한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 수자원 관리에 있어 가뭄 예측은 반드시 필요한 항목이다. 우리나라는 기후변화로 인해 강수량과 기온이 변화할 것으로 보이며, 이는 증발산량의 변화를 초래한다. 증발산량은 가뭄에 대한 중요한 인자 중 하나이며, 따라서 효율적인 수자원 관리를 위해 잠재증발산량(Potential Evapotranspiration, PET)의 변화를 예측하는 것은 반드시 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 미래의 잠재증발산량을 분석하고 예측하기 위해서는 주로 기후모델을 이용한 미래예측자료가 사용된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다중 RCMs를 이용하여 미래 잠재증발산량의 변화를 추정하고자 하였다. 독일의 전지구기후모델(Global Climate Model)인 MPI-ESM-LR를 기반으로 다양한 지역기후모델(Regional Climate Model)로부터 생산된 미래 자료를 사용하였다. 사용된 RCM은 MM5, RSM, WRF이며, RCP 8.5 시나리오에 대하여 부산 지점에 해당하는 격자로부터 잠재증발산량 추정을 위한 기온, 풍속, 일사량, 상대습도를 추출하였다. 추출된 각 기상자료에 대해 Penman 방법을 적용하여 미래 잠재증발산량을 산정한 후 Quantile Mapping 기법을 이용하여 편의보정을 수행하였다. 산정된 미래 잠재증발산량을 분석한 결과, 부산지점의 경우 미래 잠재증발산량이 현재대비 다소 증가 할 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이에 대한 대비가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 한강유역을 대상으로 다중 GCMs (General Circulation Models)을 이용하여 장기유출량을 분석하는 데 있다. 기후변화 전망을 분석하기 위해 총 13개의 GCMs을 선정하여 사용하였다. SDQDM (Spatial Disaggregation-Quantile Delta Mapping) 방법을 이용하여 GCMs을 60개 종관기상관측장비 (Automated Synoptic Observing System, ASOS)에 대해 상세화하였다. GCMs은 총 6개의 변수(강수, 최고 기온, 최저기온, 풍속, 상대습도, 일사량)를 제공하였다. 장기유출량 분석은 투수지역과 불투수지역을 모두 고려할 수 있는 HSPF 모형을 선정하여 수행하였다. 장기유출량의 공간적인 범위는 한강유역의 16개 중권역을 기준으로 선정하였고, 시간적인 범위는 과거 기준 기간 (Reference period: 1976-2005), 미래 3개 기간 (Near future period: 2011-2040, Mid-century period: 2041-2070, Distance future period: 2071-2099)으로 30년 단위로 구분하여 선정하였다. 본 연구는 13개의 GCM을 사용하여 추정된 장기유출량의 연간 및 계절적 평균과 변동성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 HSPF 모형을 활용하여 분석한 결과는 복잡한 한강유역의 특성을 적절히 반영하여, 기후변화에 따른 수자원 계획 및 통합 유역 관리를 수립하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
