초록

아시아 주요 곡물 생산지의 경제 성장과 지표 이용 변화에 따른 인간 활동의 증가는 아시아 몬순의 경향을 변화 시켰다. 본 연구에서는 지표-해양 대비, 하층제트 기류(LLJ), 티벳 고층 및 상층 편동풍 제트 기류를 포함한 인도 여름 몬순의 중요한 구성 요소를 모사하여 지역기후 모형 (RegCM3)의 성능을 평가하였다. 3년(1994: 다우 해, 2002: 평균 해, 2002: 가뭄 해)의 비교 자료를 선택하여 RegCM3은 매년 4월 1일부터 10월 1일까지 60 km의 해상도로 적분하였다. 순환과 강수 모사 결과는 NCEP/NCAR 재해석 자료와 Global Precipitation Climatology Centre(GPCC)의 관측 자료로 검증하였다. RegCM3 모형 모사의 중요 결과는 다음과 같다. (a) LLJ 는 다소 강하였으며 아라비아해에서 다우 해에 두 개로 분할되었으나, 평균 및 가뭄 해에서는 분할되지 않았다. (b) 단일의 대형 고기압이 다우 해에 존재하였으나, 가뭄 해에는 약하고 두 개의 고기압대로 분할되었다. (c) 강수의 공간분포 모사는 대부분 인도 지역에서 GPCC의 관측 강수량과 유사하였다. (d) NIMBUS-7 SMMR 적설 자료를 이용한 민감도 실험에서 북동 및 남부 인도 반도 지역에서 주로 강수량의 감소가 나타났으며, 티벳 지역에서는 4월 적설량이 0.1m 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Increasing human activity due to rapid economic growth and land use change alters the patterns of the Asian monsoon, which is key to crop yields in Asia. In this study, we tested the performance of regional climate model (RegCM3) by simulating important components of Indian summer monsoon, including land-ocean contrast, low level jet (LLJ), Tibetan high and upper level Easterly Jet. Three contrasting rain years (1994: excess year, 2001: normal year, 2002: deficient year) were selected and RegCM3 was integrated at 60 km horizontal resolution from April 1 to October 1 each year. The simulated fields of circulations and precipitation were validated against the observation from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis products and Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC), respectively. The important results of RegCM3 simulations are (a) LLJ was slightly stronger and split into two branches during excess rain year over the Arabian Sea while there was no splitting during normal and deficient rain years, (b) huge anticyclone with single cell was noted during excess rain year while weak and broken into two cells in deficient rain year, (c) the simulated spatial distribution of precipitation was comparable to the corresponding observed precipitation of GPCC over large parts of India, and (d) the sensitivity experiment using NIMBUS-7 SMMR snow data indicated that precipitation was reduced mainly over the northeast and south Peninsular India with the introduction of 0.1 m of snow over the Tibetan region in April.
