Abstract

Various drought indices developed from previous studies can not consider the inherent uncertainty of drought because they assess droughts using a pre-defined threshold. In this study, to consider inherent uncertainty embedded in monthly streamflow data, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based drought index (HMDI) was proposed and then probabilistic assessment of hydrologic drought was performed using HMDI instead of using pre-defined threshold. Using monthly streamflow data (1966~2009) of Pyeongchang river and Upper Namhan river provided by Water Management Information System (WAMIS), applying the HMM after moving-averaging the data with 3, 6, 12 month windows, this study calculated the posterior probability of hidden state that becomes the HMDI. For verifying the method, this study compared the HMDI and Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI) which is one of drought indices using a pre-defined threshold. When using the SSI, only one value can be used as a criterion to determine the drought severity. However, the HMDI can classify the drought condition considering inherent uncertainty in observations and show the probability of each drought condition at a particular point in time. In addition, the comparison results based on actual drought events occurred near the basin indicated that the HMDI outperformed the SSI to represent the drought events.

지금까지 많은 연구를 통하여 제안된 다양한 가뭄지수들은 사전에 정의된 등급을 통하여 가뭄을 평가하기 때문에 가뭄현상에 내재된 불확실성을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 월 유출량 자료에 내재되어 있는 불확실성을 고려하기 위해 은닉 마코프 모형(HMM) 기반의 가뭄지수(HMDI)를 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 수문학적 가뭄에 대한 확률론적 평가를 수행하였다. WAMIS에서 제공하는 한강유역의 평창강과 남한강상류의 월평균 유출량 자료(1966~2009)를 이용하여 3, 6, 12개월씩 누적시킨 후, HMM에 적용하여 은닉상태의 사후확률을 계산하였다. 연구방법의 검증을 위해 HMM을 이용하여 추정된 각 은닉상태 별 사후확률(HMDI)과 기준값에 의해 가뭄을 평가하는 방법 중 하나인 표준유출지수(SSI)와 비교를 하였다. 분석결과, 기존 가뭄지수(SSI)를 사용하였을 때는 하나의 지수로 특정 시점에서의 가뭄 상태를 판단하였지만, HMDI는 자료에내재된 불확실성을 이용하여 가뭄의 상태를 분류하였고, 이는 특정 시점에서 가뭄 상태들이 나타날 확률로 표현되었다. 또한, 실제 가뭄사례와의 비교를 통해서 HMDI가 SSI에 비하여 가뭄에 대한 재현능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
