Abstract

The agro-climatic index is one of the ways to assess the climate resources of particular agricultural areas on the prospect of agricultural production; it can be a key indicator of agricultural productivity by providing the basic information required for the implementation of different and various farming techniques and practicalities to estimate the growth and yield of crops from the climate resources such as air temperature, solar radiation, and precipitation. However, the agro-climate index can always be changed since the index is not the absolute. Recently, many studies which consider uncertainty of future climate change have been actively conducted using multi-model ensemble (MME) approach by developing and improving dynamic and statistical downscaling of Global Climate Model (GCM) output. In this study, the agro-climatic index of Korean Peninsula, such as growing degree day based on $5^{\circ}C$, plant period based on $5^{\circ}C$, crop period based on $10^{\circ}C$, and frost free day were calculated for assessment of the spatio-temporal variations and uncertainties of the indices according to climate change; the downscaled historical (1976-2005) and near future (2011-2040) RCP climate sceneries of AR5 were applied to the calculation of the index. The result showed four agro-climatic indices calculated by nine individual GCMs as well as MME agreed with agro-climatic indices which were calculated by the observed data. It was confirmed that MME, as well as each individual GCM emulated well on past climate in the four major Rivers of South Korea (Han, Nakdong, Geum, and Seumjin and Yeoungsan). However, spatial downscaling still needs further improvement since the agro-climatic indices of some individual GCMs showed different variations with the observed indices at the change of spatial distribution of the four Rivers. The four agro-climatic indices of the Korean Peninsula were expected to increase in nine individual GCMs and MME in future climate scenarios. The differences and uncertainties of the agro-climatic indices have not been reduced on the unlimited coupling of multi-model ensembles. Further research is still required although the differences started to improve when combining of three or four individual GCMs in the study. The agro-climatic indices which were derived and evaluated in the study will be the baseline for the assessment of agro-climatic abnormal indices and agro-productivity indices of the next research work.

다수의 기후요소를 지수화하고 특정지역의 기후 자원량을 분석하여, 종합 및 판단하는 과정은 특정지역의 농업기후자원의 특성을 한 눈에 알 수 있게 한다. 농업기후자원의 특징을 단순 명료하게 표현한 것을 농업기후지수라고 하는데, 이 지수는 기후자원(예, 기온, 일사, 강수)으로부터 작물의 생육과 수량 추측을 위한 가능성과 여러 가지 영농기술을 실시하는데 필요한 기초자료를 제공함으로써 농업생산성의 주요 지표가 될 수 있다. 그러나 농업기후지수는 절대적인 것이 아니기 때문에 기후변화에 따라 항상 변화할 수 있다. 최근 IPCC 제5차 평가보고서에서 온실가스 대표경로(RCP)에 따른 시나리오가 많은 연구에 이용됨에 따라서 기후정보의 역학 및 통계적 규모축소를 통한 미래기후변화전망정보의 불확실성을 고려한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IPCC 제5차 평가 보고서에 사용된 RCP 시나리오를 기반으로 비모수적 분위사상법을 이용한 상세화된 기후변화 전망정보를 바탕으로 한반도의 농업기후지수(예, 식물기간 및 작물기간, 생장도일, 무상기간)의 시공간적인 변화와 불확실성을 평가하였다. 동일한 과거 기간에 대하여 기후모델(GCM)으로부터 계산된 농업기후지수와 관측자료에 의해 계산된 농업기후지수를 비교한 결과, KMA-12.5km를 제외하고 사용된 8개 개별 GCM의 농업기후지수의 각각의 평균은 4대강 유역 모두에서 관측자료에 의해 계산된 값의 평균과 비교적 잘 일치하여 개별 GCM 뿐만 아니라 다중모델앙상블(MME)의 과거기후 재현성에는 문제가 없는 것으로 확인하였다. 또한 불확실성을 고려하기 위한 MME 계산에서 사용되는 GCM의 개수가 무한적으로 증가한다고 해서 오차가 줄어들지 않았다. 추가 연구가 계속 필요하지만, 본 연구에서 3-4개의 GCM을 사용하는 경우 확실하게 오차가 개선되기 시작하였으며, 대체로 7-8개 이후부터는 더 이상 오차가 개선되지 않았다. 미래전망 결과에서, 4대강 유역 전체에 대하여 inmcm4가 과거 기간의 MME에 대한 RCP 4.5에서 1% 증가, RCP 8.5에서 2% 증가로 9개 개별 GCM 중에서 가장 낮았고, CanESM이 과거 기간의 MME에 대하여 RCP 4.5에서 10%, RCP 8.5에서 15% 증가로 가장 높은 증가를 보였다. 4대강 유역의 시공간분포의 변화에서 관측자료와 다른 경향을 보이는 개별 GCM이 있어서 지형 특성과 개별 GCM의 일변동 특성을 반영할 수 있는 상세화 방법의 개선 및 개발이 필요하다. 도출 및 평가된 본 연구의 농업기후지수는 농업용 상세 전자기후도와의 활용뿐만 아니라, 후속 연구를 위한 농업이상기후지수 및 생산성지수의 평가에 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 예를 들면, 낙동강 유역과 영산-섬진강 유역의 무상기간 증가로부터 '겨울기간이 짧아질 수 있다'라고 가정할 경우, 농업이상 기후지수(예, 저온발생빈도) 분석을 통해 겨울작물의 생산성지수의 불확실성 증감 혹은 재배시스템(예, 이모작 혹은 이기작 등)의 변화에 대한 불확실성 증감 등에 대한 평가에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
