Abstract

According to the 4th and 5th assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global climate has been rapidly changing because of the human activities since Industrial Revolution. The perceived changes were appeared strongly in temperature and concentration of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). Global average temperature has increased about $0.74^{\circ}C$ over last 100 years (IPCC, 2007) and concentration of $CO_2$ is unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years (IPCC, 2014). These phenomena influence precipitation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture which have an important role in hydrology, and that is the reason why there is a necessity to study climate change. In this study, Asia region was selected to simulate primary energy index from 1951 to 2100. To predict future climate change effect, Common Land Model (CLM) which is used for various fields across the world was employed. The forcing data was Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) data which is the newest greenhouse gas emission scenario published in IPCC 5th assessment. Validation of net radiation ($R_n$), sensible heat flux (H), latent heat flux (LE) for historical period was performed with 5 flux tower site-data in the region of AsiaFlux and the monthly trends of simulation results were almost equaled to observation data. The simulation results for 2006-2100 showed almost stable net radiation, slightly decreasing sensible heat flux and quite increasing latent heat flux. Especially the uptrend for RCP 8.5 has been about doubled compared to RCP 4.5 and since late 2060s, variations of net radiation and sensible heat flux would be significantly risen becoming an extreme climate condition. In a follow-up study, a simulation for energy index and hydrological index under the detailed condition will be conducted with various scenario established from this study.

기후변화에 관한 정부간 협의체 (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; IPCC)의 4차 및 5차 보고서에 따르면 인류 활동에 의한 기후변화가 산업혁명 이후 급속하게 진행되고 있다고 한다. 기후변화는 주로 온도와 이산화탄소 농도의 변화로 감지되는데, 지난 100여년 간 지구 평균 온도는 $0.74^{\circ}C$ 상승하였으며, 대기 중 이산화탄소의 농도는 최소 800,000년 동안의 최대치를 기록하였다 (IPCC, 2007, 2014). 이러한 기후 변화는 수문학 연구에서 중요한 강수, 증발산, 토양수분 등에도 커다란 영향을 미치므로 이에 대한 꾸준한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 아시아 지역을 대상으로 1951년부터 2100년까지의 주요 에너지 인자들에 대한 모의를 실시하였다. 전 세계적으로 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있는 Common Land Model을 미래 예측을 위한 기반으로 활용하였으며, 강제입력자료는 기후변화에 대응하기 위하여 IPCC 5차 보고서에 소개된 가장 최신의 온실가스 시나리오인 대표농도경로 (Representative Concentration Pathway; RCP)를 활용하였다. 과거 기간에 대한 순복사량, 현열 및 잠열에 대한 검증은 Asiaflux 사이트에 속한 5개 지점의 자료를 활용하여 수행하였으며, 모든 인자들에 대하여 모형의 월별 경향성이 관측 자료와 거의 일치함을 확인하였다. 미래 기간의 모의에 대해서는 RCP 4.5 및 RCP 8.5를 활용한 모의 모두 순복사량은 거의 변화가 없었으며 현열은 대체적으로 하강하는 경향을, 이와 대조적으로 잠열의 경우에는 상승하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히 RCP 8.5를 활용한 결과에서 이 증감폭은 더 크게 나타났으며, 2060년대 후반부터 순복사량과 현열의 변동성이 매우 커지는 등의 극한기후의 특징을 나타내는 것으로 보인다. 추후 연구에서는 본 연구를 토대로 다양한 시나리오를 활용하여 더욱 다양한 조건하에서의 에너지 인자 및 다른 수문학적 주요 인자들에 대한 모의를 수행할 예정이다.
