Regional Drought Frequency Analysis of Monthly Rainfall Data by the Method of L-Moments

L-Moment법을 이용한 월 강우량 자료의 지역가뭄빈도 해석

To quantitatively investigate the nationwide drought characteristics and to comparatively evaluate the 1994-1995 drought with several past droughts of significant magnitude regional frequency analysis is made for the meteorological stations in each of the 47 subbasins covering the whole nation. With monthly precipitation data for the period of records at the stations in each subbasin low precipitation data series of various durations are formulated with the running totals of monthly data and fitted to probability distributions. The method of L-method of L-moments is used to determine the unbiased parameters of each distribution, and using the best-fit distribution for each subbasin the low precipitations of various durations with return periods of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 years are estimated. The drought frequency maps are drawn with the low drought frequency analysis the drought of 1994-1995 is evaluated in its severity and areal extent in comparison with four other past drought of significance. The current practice of safety standards for the design of impounding facilities is also evaluated with reference to the recurrence interval of the severe drought, and a recommendation is made for the future design standard.

전국적인 가뭄특성을 조사하고 '94-'95 가뭄의 심도를 기왕의 주요 가뭄과 비교평가하기 위하여 전국의 47개 소유역으로 분할한 후 강우량계열로부터 작성된 가뭄우량계열의 지역빈도분석을 실시하였다. L-모멘트법을 사용하여 적정확률분포의 매개 변수를 결정하였으며, 강우지속기간별, 재현기간별 가뭄우량을 산정하여 지속기간별 확률가뭄우량도를 작성하였다. 강우지속기간-재현기간-가뭄우량 관계를 고려하여 '94-'95 가뭄의 심도와 지역적 범위를 기왕의 주요가뭄과 비교평가하였다. 본 연구결과를 고려하여 현행 이수안전도를 평가하고 안전도 기준의 상향조정을 제안하였다.
