Abstract

In this study, a model of rainfall drop-size distribution was modified using PARSIVEL-retrieved rainfall drop-size distribution over Daegwanryeong mountainous area. A prototype model (Modified ${\Gamma}$ distribution model) applicable for this area was decided through the comparative analysis between results from models proposed by preceding research and PARSIVEL-retrieved data over Daegwanryeong mountainous area. In order to apply the prototype model for Daegwanryeong region, the parameters (${\alpha}$, A, B) were made via sensitivity experiments and models of the rainfall drop-size distributions for five cases of rainfall rate were proposed. Results from the proposed five models showed high correlations with PARSIVEL-retrieved data ($R^2=0.975$). In order to suggest a generalized form of rainfall drop-size distribution, interaction equations between rainfall rates and parameters (${\alpha}$, A, B) were investigated. The generalized model of the rainfall drop-size distribution was highly correlated with PARSIVEL-retrieved data ($R^2=0.953$), which means that the proposed model from this study was effective for simulating the rainfall drop-size distribution over Daegwanryeong region. However, the proposed model was optimized for rainfall drop-size distribution over Daegwanryeong region. Therefore, broad observations of other regions are necessary in order to develop the representative model of the Korean peninsula.

본 연구에서는 대관령 지역에서의 광학우적계(PARSIVEL disdrometer) 강수관측으로부터 산출된 강수율에 따른 강수입자분포 자료를 바탕으로 기존의 강수입자분포 모형을 개선하였다. 선행 연구에서 제안한 다양한 강수입자분포 모형과 측정 자료와의 상관성을 분석한 결과, 대관령 지역에 적용 가능한 원형 모형은 개선된 ${\Gamma}$ 분포 모형임을 확인하였다. 원형 모형을 대관령 지역에 적용할 수 있도록, 민감도 실험을 통해 최적의 매개변수들(${\alpha}$, A, B)을 산정하였으며, 다섯 가지 강수율에 대한 강수입자분포 모형을 제안하였다. 강수율에 따른 강수입자분포 모형의 결과는 관측에서 측정된 값과 높은 상관성($R^2=0.975$)을 보였다. 강수율에 따라 표현되는 강수입자분포 모형을 일반화 형태로 개선하기 위해 강수율과 매개변수의 상관성을 도출하여 일반식을 결정하였다. 일반화된 강수입자분포 모형은 대관령 지역의 강수입자분포 측정 자료와 높은 상관성($R^2=0.953$)을 보였으며, 이는 본 연구에서 제안한 모형이 대관령 지역의 강수입자분포를 모의하는데 효과적임을 의미한다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제안된 강수입자분포 모형은 대관령 지역의 강수입자분포에만 최적화 되었다는 한계성이 있어, 따라서 한반도를 대표하는 모형을 개발하기 위해서는 다른 지역에 대한 광범위한 측정이 필요하다.
