Abstract

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is widely applied to evaluate for meteorological droughts. However, the SPI is limited to capture a drought event with a short duration, expecially shorter than one month. In this study, we proposed a daily SPI (DSPI) as a way to overcome the limitation of the monthly SPI for drought monitoring. In order to objectively assess the ability of the drought reproduction of the DSPI, we performed a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis using the quantified drought records from official reports, newspapers, etc. The results of ROC analysis showed that the DSPI has an ability to reproduce short-term drought compared with other indices. It also showed that the main cause of historical droughts was the shortage of rainfall accumulated during the time period less than 90 days compared with the rainfall of normal years.

SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index)는 계산절차가 간단하기 때문에 기상학적 가뭄을 평가하는데 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 월 단위 기반으로 산정되기 때문에 1달 이내의 짧은 지속기간을 가지는 가뭄사상을 포착하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 월 단위로 계산되는 SPI의 단점을 극복하기 위한 방안으로 일 단위 SPI(DSPI)를 제안하였다. 또한, DSPI의 가뭄재현능력을 객관적으로 평가하기 위해 과거의 가뭄발생기록을 이용하여 ROC 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 우리나라의 단기가뭄을 재현하는데 적절한 지속기간을 제시하였으며, 가뭄의 발생유무를 결정하는 데 활용하는 3가지 등급(보통, 심한, 극한 가뭄)별 DSPI의 가뭄예보능력을 검토하였다. 그 결과 3가지 등급에 대한 재현능력이 우수한 가뭄 지속기간을 결정하였다. 또한, 과거 2000년 이후에 발생한 우리나라 대부분의 가뭄은 90일(3개월) 이내의 누적 강수량이 평년의 수준에 비하여 부족하기 때문에 발생한 기상학적 측면의 단기가뭄인 것으로 나타났다.
