Abstract

Recently, frequency of extreme rainfall events in South Korea has been substantially increased due to the enhanced climate variability. Korea is prone to flooding due to being surrounded by mountains, along with high rainfall intensity during a short period. In the past three decades, an increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall events has been observed due to enhanced climate variability and climate change. This study aimed to analyze extreme rainfalls informed by their frequency of occurrences using a long-term rainfall data. In this respect, we developed a Poisson-Generalized Pareto Distribution (Poisson-GPD) based rainfall frequency method which allows us to simultaneously explore changes in the amount and exceedance probability of the extreme rainfall events defined by different thresholds. Additionally, this study utilized a Bayesian approach to better estimate both parameters and their uncertainties. We also investigated the synoptic patterns associated with the extreme events considered in this study. The results showed that the Poisson-GPD based design rainfalls were rather larger than those of based on the Gumbel distribution. It seems that the Poisson-GPD model offers a more reasonable explanation in the context of flood safety issue, by explicitly considering the changes in the frequency. Also, this study confirmed that low and high pressure system in the East China Sea and the central North Pacific, respectively, plays crucial roles in the development of the extreme rainfall in South Korea.

최근 기상변동성이 증가함에 따라 지난 30년 동안 극한강우의 발생 빈도는 점차 증가하고 있다. 우리나라는 지리적으로 단시간에 매우 높은 강우강도를 유발하는 강우사상이 빈번하게 발생하여 홍수사상이 유발되기 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 장기간의 강우자료를 활용하여 극치강우사상의 발생을 고려한 강우빈도해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 극치강우사상을 분석하는데 있어 서로 다른 절점기준을 사용하여 극치강우의 발생횟수를 반영한 포아송-GPD 강우빈도해석 기법을 개발하였다. 빈도해석을 수행함에 있어서 확률분포 매개변수의 불확실성을 보다 정량적으로 산정할 수 있는 Bayesian 기법을 적용하였으며, 또한 각각의 절점기준에 따라서 분류된 강우사상의 종관기후학적 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 우리나라의 극치강우 발생이 증가하는 지점에서 기존의 Gumbel 분포를 통한 확률강우량보다 상향된 결과를 도출하였다. 이는 포아송-GPD 모형이 치수안정성 측면에서 유리한 모형으로 판단된다. 또한 동중국해 지역의 저기압 특성과 북태평양 고기압 특성이 우리나라 극치강우현상에 주로 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.
