Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the spatio-temporal variations of satellite imagery for the two heavy rainfall cases (21 September, 2010, 9 August, 2011) occurred in the Korean Peninsula. In general, the possibility of strong convection can be increased when the region with plenty of moisture at the lower layer overlapped with the boundary between dark and bright area in the water vapor imagery. And the merging of convective cells caused by the difference in the moving velocities of two cells resulted in the intensification of convective activity and rainfall intensity. The rainfall intensity is more closely linked with the minimum cloud top temperature than the mean cloud top temperature. Also the spatio-temporal variations of rainfall intensity are impacted by the existence of merging processes. The merging can be predicted by the animation of satellite imagery but earlier detection of convective cells is almost impossible by using the infrared and water vapor imagery.

본 연구에서는 최근 발생한 집중호우 사례들 중 예보가 어려워 피해가 컸던 두 사례(2010년 9월 21일, 2011년 8월 9일)에 대해 적외영상과 수증기영상의 시 공간적인 변화 특성을 분석하였다. 두 사례에서 한반도지역에 집중호우를 유발한 대류 세포들은 적외영상에서 하층운이 광범위하게 분포하고 수증기 영상에서는 명역과 암역의 경계(boundary)에서 생성되는 특징을 보였다. 또한 대류 세포들의 이동속도 차에 의한 총 5번의 병합과정 중 4번의 병합과정에서 대류 세포들의 병합 후 대류 세포는 더욱 발달되었으며 강수 강도도 급격하게 강화되었다. 대류시스템에서의 강우강도 변화는 휘도온도의 평균보다 최소 휘도온도의 시간적 변화와 밀접하게 관련된 것으로 판단되며 대류 세포들의 병합도 집중호우의 강도 변화에 영향을 주는 주요 인자로 생각된다. 대류 세포들의 병합은 영상동화를 통해 어느 정도 예측이 가능하지만 대류 세포의 탐지는 적외 및 수증기 영상 모두에서 일정 강도 이상 발달한 상태에서만 탐지가 가능하였다.
