Abstract

A stochastic weather generator based on a generalized linear model (GLM) approach is a commonly used tools to simulate a time series of daily weather. In this paper, we propose a multi-site weather generator with applications to historical data in South Korea. The proposed method extends the approach of Kim et al. (2012) by considering spatial dependence in the model. To reduce this phenomenon, we also incorporate a time series of seasonal mean precipitations of South Korea in the GLM weather generator as a covariate. Spatial dependence was incorporated into the model through a latent Gaussian process. We apply the proposed model to precipitation data provided by 62 stations in Korea from 1973{2011.

일반화 선형모형(GLM)에 기초한 확률적 날씨 발생기(Stochastic weather generator)는 일일 날씨를 생성하는데 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 방법인다. 본 논문에서는 다층구조를 이용하여 기존의 GLM weather generator에 공간구조를 소개하였다. 계절별 총강우량의 overdispersion 현상을 효과적으로 제거하기 위해서 smoothing된 계절별 총강우량을 모형에 포함하였고 공간구조를 소개하기 위해서 Stochastic weather generator의 모형계수에 공간구조를 가지는 다변량 정규분포를 가정하였다. 그리고 제안된 공간구조를 가지는 GLM weather generator 모형을 우리나라 76개 지역에서 39년간 측정된 일별 강우량 관측자료에 적용하였다.
