Abstract

This study investigated impacts of the two different types of El Ni$\tilde{n}$o on summer rainfall (June-September) in the Han River and its sub-basins. The patterns of rainfall anomalies show a remarkable difference between conventional El Ni$\tilde{n}$o and El Ni$\tilde{n}$o Modoki years. During conventional El Ni$\tilde{n}$o years, it was found that the Han River basins show decreases in the seasonal rainfall totals with high variations (CV=0.4). In contrast, during El Ni$\tilde{n}$o Modoki years, distinct positive anomalies appear in the Han River basin with a relatively small variation (CV=0.23). In addition, 11 out of 30 sub-basins show significant above-normal rainfall in southern part of the Han River Basin. For El Ni$\tilde{n}$o Modoki years, the number of heavy rainy days exceeding 30 mm/day and 50 mm/day were 9.9-day and 5.4-day, respectively. Consequently, this diagnostic study confirmed that El Ni$\tilde{n}$o Modoki has significant impacts on the variability of summer rainfall over the Han River Basin. We expect the results presented here provide useful information for the stability of the regional water supply system, especially for basins like the Han River Basin showing relatively high variability in seasonal rainfall.

본 연구에서는 전형적인 엘니뇨와 새로운 형태의 엘니뇨 Modoki에 따른 한강유역의 여름철(6~9월) 강우량의 특성 변화를 분석하였다. 전형적인 엘니뇨 시기에는 대체로 여름철 강우량이 감소하였으며, 강우의 변동성도 비교적 크게 나타났다(CV=0.40). 반면에 엘니뇨 Modoki 시기에는 한강 대부분 유역에서 평년보다 강우가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 여름철 강우의 변동성은 작은 것으로 분석되었다(CV=0.23). 엘니뇨 Modoki 시기에는 한강 남부의 11개 중권역에서 통계적으로 유의한 강우의 증가를 보였고, 30mm/day와 50mm/day를 초과하는 중호우의 강우발생일은 각각 9.9일과 5.4일로 나타났으며, 전형적인 엘니뇨 시기보다 백분위 편차가 각각 17.74%, 50.94% 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 형태의 엘니뇨 Modoki가 전형적인 패턴의 엘니뇨보다 한강유역의 여름철 수자원 변동에 민감하게 영향을 주고 있음을 확인하였으며, 향후 수자원의 계절적 변동과 불확실성이 큰 지역에서 안정적인 수자원 확보를 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하리라 사료된다.
