기후변화로 증가하는 홍수피해를 대처하기 위해 여러 예측 방법들이 개발되고 있다. 홍수예측의 가장 핵심 요소는 홍수예측을 위한 수문모델의 입력자료로 사용하는 강우에 대한 정확하고 신속한 예측이다. 기존의 레이더 강우를 이용한 Nowcasting 보다 더 많은 대응시간을 확보할 수 있는 중소규모의 기후모델인 WRF(Weather Research Forecast)-ARW(Advanced Research WRF)를 소개하고, 이를 한반도 중부지방의 청미천 지역에 적용하려 한다. WRF-ARW의 적용기간은 2006년 7월 11일부터 7월 23일까지이며 이 결과를 청미천 유역에 있는 강우 관측소들(생극, 삼죽, 설성)의 실제 강우관측소의 관측 값과의 비교에 의해 이 강우 사상에 대해 Thomson scheme(미세물리)와 Kain-Frisch scheme(적운형 매개변수)의 조합이 청미천유역에서 가장 적합한 기후물리 조합이며 Mean Absolute Relative Error를 통해 세 개의 강우관측지점이 0.45 이상의 값을 나타내었다.

According to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Inter governmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), climate change is already in progress around the world, and it is necessary to start mitigation and adaptation strategies for buildings in order to minimize adverse impacts. It is likely that the South Korea will experience milder winters and hotter and more extreme summers. Those changes will impact on building performance, particularly with regard to cooling and ventilation, with implications for the quality of the indoor environment, energy consumption and carbon emissions. This study generate weather data for future climate change for use in impacts studies using PRECIS (Providing REgional Climate for Impacts Studies). These scenarios and RCM (Regional Climate Model) are provided high-resolution climate-change predictions for a region generally consistent with the continental-scale climate changes predicted in the GCM (Global Climate Model).

A regional wind network with complex surface conditions must be designed with sufficient space and time resolution to resolve the local circulations. In this study, the spatial variations of the wind field observed in the Seoul and Jeju regional networks were evaluated in terms of annual, seasons, and months to assess the spatial homogeneity of wind fields within the regional networks. The coherency of the wind field as a function of separation distance between stations indicated that significant coherency was sometimes not captured by the network, as inferred by low correlations between adjacent stations. A meso-velocity scale was defined in terms of the spatial variability of the wind within the network. This problem is predictably most significant with weak winds, dull prevailing wind, clear skies and significant topography. The relatively small correlations between stations imply that the wind at a given point cannot be estimated by interpolating winds from the nearest stations. For the Seoul and Jeju regional network, the meso-velocity scale has typically a same order of magnitude as the speed of the network averaged wind, revealing the large spatial variability of the Jeju network station imply topography and weather. Significant scatter in the relationship between spatial variability of the wind field and the wind speed is thought to be related to thermally-generated flows. The magnitude of the mesovelocity scale was significantly different along separation distance between stations, wind speed, intensity of prevailing wind, clear and cloudy conditions, topography. Resultant wind vectors indicate much different flow patterns along condition of contributing factors. As a result, the careful considerations on contributing factors such as prevailing wind in season, weather, and complex surface conditions with topography and land/sea contrast are required to assess the spatial variations of wind field on a regional network. The results in the spatial variation from the mesovelocity scale are useful to represent the characteristics of regional wind speed including lower surface conditions over the grid scale of large scale atmospheric model.

A system for fine-resolution long-range weather forecast is introduced in this study. The system is basically consisted of a global-scale coupled general circulation model (CGCM) and Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) regional model. The system makes use of a data assimilation method in order to reduce the initial shock or drift that occurs at the beginning of coupling due to imbalance between model dynamics and observed initial condition. The long-range predictions are produced in the system based on a non-linear ensemble method. At the same time, the model bias are eliminated by estimating the difference between hindcast model climate and observation. In this research, the predictability of the forecast system is studied, and it is illustrated that the system can be effectively used for the high resolution long-term weather prediction. Also, using the system, fine-resolution climatological data has been produced with high degree of accuracy. It is proved that the production of agrometeorological variables that are not intensively observed are also possible.

In this study, a three-dimensional variational(3DVAR) data assimilation system was developed for the operational numerical weather prediction(NWP) system at the Republic of Korea Air Force Weather Group. The Air Force NWP system utilizes the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) meso-scale regional model to provide weather information for the military service. Thus, the data assimilation system was developed based on the WRF model. Experiments were conducted to identify the nested model domain to assimilate observations and the period appropriate in estimating the background error covariance(BEC) in 3DVAR. The assimilation of observations in domain 2 is beneficial to improve 24-h forecasts in domain 3. The 24-h forecast performance does not change much depending on the estimation period of the BEC in 3DVAR. The results of this study provide a basis to establish the operational data assimilation system for the Republic of Korea Air Force Weather Group.

Weather data for disease forecasts are usually derived from automated weather stations (AWS) that may be dispersed across a region in an irregular pattern. We have developed an alternative method to simulate local scale, high-resolution weather and plant disease in a grid pattern. The system incorporates a simplified mesoscale boundary layer model, LAWSS, for estimating local conditions such as air temperature and relative humidity. It also integrates special models for estimating of surface wetness duration and disease forecasts, such as the grapevine downy mildew forecast model, DMCast. The system can recreate weather forecasts utilizing the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis database, which contains over 57 years of archived and corrected global upper air conditions. The highest horizontal resolution of 0.150 km was achieved by running 5-step nested child grids inside coarse mother grids. Over the Finger Lakes and Chautauqua Lake regions of New York State, the system simulated three growing seasons for estimating the risk of grape downy mildew with 1 km resolution. Outputs were represented as regional maps or as site-specific graphs. The highest resolutions were achieved over North America, but the system is functional for any global location. The system is expected to be a powerful tool for site selection and reanalysis of historical plant disease epidemics.

미국은 전 세계 주요 곡물(밀, 옥수수, 콩 등)의 생산 및 수출 국가로 알려져 있다. 따라서 신뢰할 만한 기상 예측 정보를 바탕으로 해당 지역에 대한 작황을 추정하는 것은 우리나라의 곡물 수급을 안정적으로 계획하기 위해서 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 지역 규모의 일 기온 및 이를 기반으로 산출되는 농업기후지수의 계절 예측성을 향상시키는 데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 먼저 역학적 규모축소법을 위한 지역기후모형으로 WRF가 사용되었으며, 해당 모형의 초기 및 측면 경계조건으로 PNU CGCM에서 생산된 시간 별 전지구 예측자료가 활용되었다. WRF의 적분은 22년(2000~2021년) 동안 매년 하반기를 포함하는 기간(6~12월)에 대해 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 WRF에 의해 모의된 일 평균⋅최저⋅최고기온에 대해 EQM을 적용하여 모형이 갖는 편의를 보정하였다. EQM을 이용하여 보정된(보정되지 않은) 자료들은 WRF_C (WRF_UC)로 명명하였다. WRF_UC는 미국 내 대부분의 지역에서 일 최저기온(최고기온)을 과대(과소) 모의했는데, 이는 저온(고온) 범위를 과소 모의한 특징에서 비롯되었다. WRF_C는 WRF_UC에 나타난 일 평균⋅최저⋅최고기온의 편의가 감소하고 공간분포에 대한 예측성이 향상되었기 때문에 결과적으로 일 기온을 기반으로 산출되는 농업기후지수의 예측성 향상을 유도했다.

This study assesses the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in reproducing regional climate over CORDEX-East Asia Phase 2 domain with different cumulus parameterization schemes [Kain-Fritch (KF), Betts-Miller-Janjic (BM), and Grell-Devenyi-Ensemble (GD)]. The model is integrated for 27 months from January 1979 to March 1981 and the initial and boundary conditions are derived from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast Interim Reanalysis (ERA-Interim). The WRF model reasonably reproduces the temperature and precipitation characteristics over East Asia, but the regional scale responses are very sensitive to cumulus parameterization schemes. In terms of mean bias, WRF model with BM scheme shows the best performance in terms of summer/winter mean precipitation as well as summer mean temperature throughout the North East Asia. In contrast, the seasonal mean precipitation is generally overestimated (underestimated) by KF (GD) scheme. In addition, the seasonal variation of the temperature and precipitation is well simulated by WRF model, but with an overestimation in summer precipitation derived from KF experiment and with an underestimation in wet season precipitation from BM and GD schemes. Also, the frequency distribution of daily precipitation derived from KF and BM experiments (GD experiment) is well reproduced, except for the overestimation (underestimation) in the intensity range above (less) then $2.5mm\;d^{-1}$. In the case of the amount of daily precipitation, all experiments tend to underestimate (overestimate) the amount of daily precipitation in the low-intensity range < $4mm\;d^{-1}$ (high-intensity range > $12mm\;d^{-1}$). This type of error is largest in the KF experiment.

Recently, because of the weather forecasts through the low-resolution data has been limited, the demand of the high-resolution data is sharply increasing. Therefore, in this study, we restore the ultra-high resolution synthetic precipitation and temperature data for 2000-2014 due to small-scale topographic effect using the QPM (Quantitative Precipitation Model)/QTM (Quantitative Temperature Model). First, we reproduce the detailed precipitation and temperature data with 1km resolution using the distribution of Automatic Weather System (AWS) data and Automatic Synoptic Observation System (ASOS) data, which is about 10km resolution with irregular grid over South Korea. Also, we recover the precipitation and temperature data with 1km resolution using the MERRA reanalysis data over North Korea, because there are insufficient observation data. The precipitation and temperature from restored current climate reflect more detailed topographic effect than irregular AWS/ASOS data and MERRA reanalysis data over the Korean peninsula. Based on this analysis, more detailed prospect of regional climate is investigated.

제주 지방 기상청을 대상으로 하는 지역 규모 단시간 수치예보 시스템을 구축하였다. 기상청 본청에서 하루 2회 제공되는 30 km해상도의 수치예보 자료로는 지방 기상청의 예보관들이 우리 나라와 같이 복잡한 지형에서 발생하는 그 지역의 국지 악기상을 파악하기에는 무리가 있다. 지역 규모의 고해상도 수치예보를 위해 LAPS와 MM5를 자료분석과 예보 모델로 이용하였다. LAPS는 양질의 수치예보 초기자료를 생산해 내기 위해 종관 관측 자료뿐만 아니라 위성 및 레이더 등의 비 종관 관측자료도 자료동화에 이용한다. MM5 모델은 16노드의 펜티엄 PC로 구성된 클러스터에서 수행되었으며 이 시스템은 분산병렬 클러스터 컴퓨터로 가격대비 성능이 매우 우수한 미니 슈퍼컴퓨터이다. 자료동화 모델, 수치예보 모델 그리고 PC-클러스터를 종합한 지역 규모 단시간 수치예보 시스템을 한라 단시간 예측 시스템이라 명명하였으며 이 시스템은 현재 제주 지방 기상청에서 독자적으로 운영되고 있다. 기상청 본청에서 제공되는 수치예보 정보로는 탐지할 수 없었던 1999년 7월 9일 제주 지역의 집중호우 사례에 대하여 본 시스템을 검증한 결과 모델이 예측한 강수량이 실제 강수량을 잘 재현하였다. 한라 단시간 예측 시스템은 2000년 4월부터 하루 4회 제주 지방기상청에서 독자적으로 운영되고 있다.
