Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the inverse statistics of rainfall for 12 regions from 1973 to 2014. We obtain a probability density function f(x) of daily rainfall x, and $f({\tau}_{\rho})$ of the first passage time ${\tau}_{\rho}$ for a given ${\rho}$. Lastly, we derive the relation between ${\rho}$ and ${\tau}_{mean}({\rho})$, i.e., the averaged value of ${\tau}_{\rho}$. The analyses result in the x and ${\tau}_{\rho}$ have stretched exponential distributions. Also, ${\tau}_{mean}({\rho})$ has the form of a stretched exponential function. We derive the shape parameter ${\beta}$ of the distribution, and analyze the characteristics of 12 regional rainfalls.

본 논문에서는 1973년부터 2014년까지 42년 간, 12개 지역의 일일 강수량 데이터의 역통계(inverse statistics) 분석을 실시하였다. 구체적으로 일일 강수량 x의 확률밀도함수 f(x)를 도출하였고, 특정 강수량 ${\rho}$를 처음으로 넘어서는 기간 ${\tau}_{\rho}$의 분포 $f({\tau}_{\rho})$를 도출하였다. 최종적으로 ${\tau}_{\rho}$의 대푯값인 ${\tau}_{mean}({\rho})$${\rho}$의 관계를 도출하였다. 분석 결과 x와 ${\tau}_{\rho}$는 확장된 지수분포(stretched exponential distribution)를 이루는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 ${\rho}$${\tau}_{mean}({\rho})$도 확장된 지수함수의 관계를 이루는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이들 분포를 바탕으로 형태 모수(shape parameter) ${\beta}$ 값을 도출하고, 12개 지역의 강수 특성을 분석하였다.
