Abstract

The size and frequency of the natural disaster related to the severe storms are increased for recent decades in all over the globe. The damage from natural disasters such as typhoon, storm and local severe rainfall is very serious in Korea since they are concentrated on summer season. These phenomena will be more frequent in the future because of the impact of climate change related to increment of $CO_2$ concentration and the global warming. To reduce the damage from severe storms, a short-range precipitation forecasting model using a weather radar was developed. The study was conducted as following four tasks: conversion three-dimensional radar data to two-dimensional CAPPI(Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) efficiently, prediction of motion direction and velocity of a weather system, estimation of two-dimensional rainfall using operational calibration. Results demonstrated that two-dimensional estimation using weather radar is useful to analyze the spatial characteristics of local storms. If the precipitation forecasting system is linked to the flood prediction system, it should contribute the flood management and the mitigation of flood damages.

최근 몇 년간 전 세계에 걸쳐 폭풍우와 관련한 자연재해는 그 규모와 빈도에 있어서 상당히 증가하고 있는 추세다. 특히, 우리나라는 강수의 대부분이 여름철에 집중되어 있어 이러한 태풍, 폭우 그리고 국지성 집중호우 등과 같은 자연재해로 인한 피해가 더욱 심각하다. 이러한 현상은 대기 중 이산화탄소 농도의 증가로 인한 지구온난화와 엘리뇨 등으로 인하여 앞으로도 더욱 빈번해질 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 이와 같은 폭풍우로 인한 피해를 줄이기 위하여 본 연구에서는 기상레이더를 이용한 단시간 강우예측 모형을 개발하였다. 본 연구는 3차원으로 생산되는 레이더 자료를 2차원 CAPPI(Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator)로 변환, 강우의 이동방향과 이동속도 예측, 현업보정을 이용한 2차원 강우량 산정으로 구성되어 있다. 연구결과 기상레이더를 이용한 국지성 호우의 단시간 강우예측 가능성을 제시하였으며 향후 홍수 예 경보시스템과 연계한다면 홍수 관리 및 피해 경감에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
