Abstract

In recent, the various methods to predict the hydrological impacts due to climate change have been developed and applied. Especially the trend analysis using observed and future hydrological data has been performed than ever. Parametric or non-parametric tests can be applied for a trend analysis. However, the non-parametric tests have been commonly used in the case of trend analysis using hydrological data. Therefore, the two types of non-parametric tests, Mann-Kendall (MK) test and Spearman Rho (SR) test, were used to detect the trend in the observed and future rainfall data that were collected from the Nakdong River basin. Also, the Pre-Whitening (PW) and the Trend Free Pre-Whitening (TFPW) as the pre-process of the trend analysis were performed. Also, the result of trend analysis suggest that those pre-processes have a statistically significant effect. Additionally, the Sequential Mann-Kendall (SMK) was used to reveal the beginning point of a trend in the observed and future rainfall data in the Nakdong River basin. The rainfall patterns in most rainfall gauges using the observed rainfall show the increasing trend and the abrupt changes in the specific months (from April to May and September to October). Also, the beginning point of the trend is brought forward by several months when climate change is accelerated. Finally, the results of this study can provide the useful background for the research related to climate change and water resources planning in the Nakdong River basin.

최근 기후변화가 미래 수문자료에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 예측하기 위한 다양한 기법이 개발 및 적용되고 있으며, 과거 및 미래 수문자료의 경향성을 파악하고 비교하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 경향성 분석은 크게 모수적 검정과 비모수적 검정으로 구분될 수 있으나, 수문자료의 특성에 의해 비모수적 검정이 유리한 경우가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서도 낙동강 유역에서 수집된 과거 및 미래 강우량의 경향성 분석을 위해 비모수적 검정 중 MK 검정과 SR 검정을 사용하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 경향성 분석 절차의 사전절차로 PW 기법과 TFPW 기법을 적용하고 비교함으로써, 자료의 사전처리가 최종 결과에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미칠수 있음을 제시하였다. 특히 SMK 기법을 적용하여 낙동강 유역의 강우자료의 경향성이 시작되는 시기를 추가로 분석하였다. 과거 강우자료의 분석결과 년총강우량은 대부분 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 4월과 5월 그리고 9월과 10월 사이를 기점으로 강우패턴이 변화됨을 알 수 있었으며, 미래 강우자료의 분석결과 기후변화가 심해짐에 따라 경향성이 시작되는 시기가 수개월씩 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 향후 기후변화와 관련된 연구의 기초자료로 제공될 수 있으며, 낙동강 유역의 수자원 관리와 계획의 수립에 있어 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
