Abstract

In this study, land surface model was used to simulate the soil moisture of South and North Korea for the past 30 years, and the difference in their variation was analyzed. In addition, satellite observed soil moisture data provided by Soil Moisture CCI was analyzed to evaluate the simulation results of VIC model. For the comparison between the simulated and observed data, the CSEOF analysis was applied to indirectly assess the performance of the VIC model rather than simply comparing soil moisture values. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the annual variability of soil moisture showed a similar tendency in both South and North Korea, but it was found that the soil moisture in South Korea was as high as 1%, up to 7%, higher than the soil moisture in North Korea. Secondly, the soil moisture in spring between April to June is similar in South and North Korea, whereas the soil moisture after the rainy season is up to 40% in South Korea, but remains at maximum 32% in North Korea. Third, the overall simulated soil moisture is about 4% smaller than the satellite observed soil moisture, but the degree of increase over the past 30 years is similar to that of satellite observed soil moisture. Finally, a comparison of the CSEOF from the satellite observed soil moisture and the VIC model derived soil moisture showed that the soil moisture from April to June shows a much different pattern from each other. However, in July and October, there was a slight similarity, and it was confirmed that August and September has quite similar patterns.

본 연구에서는 지표수문해석모형을 이용하여 과거 30년에 대한 남한과 북한의 토양수분을 모의하고 그 거동 차이를 분석하였다. 아울러 VIC 모형의 모의결과를 평가하기 위해 Soil Moisture CCI에서 제공하는 위성관측 토양수분 자료를 분석하였다. 모의결과와 관측자료 사이의 비교에는 CSEOF 분석을 적용하여 단순한 토양수분 값의 비교가 아닌 VIC 모형의 성능을 간접적으로 평가하는 방법을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫 째, 토양수분의 경년변동은 남한과 북한 모두 전체적으로 유사한 경향을 보였으나, 남한의 토양수분이 북한의 토양수분보다 작게는 1%에서 크게는 7%까지 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 둘 째, 월 단위 토양수분의 경우, 봄철에 해당하는 4 - 6월의 토양수분 상태는 남한과 북한에서 유사하게 나타났다. 반면, 장마철 이후 토양수분은 남한의 경우 최대 40%까지 증가하지만, 북한에서는 최대 32% 정도에 머무르는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋 째, 전체적으로 모의된 토양수분이 인공위성에서 관측된 토양수분보다 약 4% 정도 작지만, 과거 30년 동안 나타난 증가 정도는 위성관측 토양수분과 유사한 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로, 위성관측 토양수분과 VIC 모형으로 유도된 토양수분 자료에 대한 CSEOF를 비교해본 결과, 4월부터 6월까지의 토양수분은 공간적으로 서로 상당히 다른 패턴을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 7월과 10월의 경우에는 약한 유사성을 보이고 있으며, 8월과 9월은 상당히 유사한 패턴을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.
