Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and spatial changes of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in mountainous areas with altitude more than 200 meters in South Korea. In order to analyze the spatial distribution patterns, spatial analysis was performed on 203 Automatic Mountain Meteorology Observation Station (AMOS) points from 2012 to 2016 by Euclidean distance analysis, nearest neighbor index analysis, and Kernel density analysis methods. As a result, change of the average distance between 2012 and 2016 decreased up to 16.4km. The nearest neighbor index was 0.666632 to 0.811237, and the result of Z-score test was -4.372239 to -5.145115(P<0.01). The spatial distributions of AMOSs through Kernel density analysis were analyzed to cover 129,719ha/a station in 2012 and 50,914ha/a station in 2016. The result of a comparison between 2012 and 2016 on the spatial distribution has decreased about 169,399ha per a station for the past 5 years. Therefore it needs to be considered the mountainous regions with low density when selecting the site of AMOS.

본 연구는 품질평가 등급이 우수한 4개 기관에서 운영하고 있는 990개의 AWS 중에서 고도가 200m 이상인 산악지역에 분포하고 있는 산악기상관측소의 공간분포 특성과 연도별 공간변화를 분석하였다. 공간분포특성 분석을 위해 2012년부터 2016년까지 203개의 산악기상관측망을 대상으로 유클리디안 거리 분석, 최근 린지수 분석, 커널밀도 분석 방법으로 공간분석을 수행하였다. 평균거리 분석 결과, 2012년(3개 기관)은 29.0km, 2012년(4개 기관) 26.6km, 2013년 21.9km, 2014년 16.9km, 2015년 14.3km, 2016년은 12.6km로 2012년부터 2016년까지 16.4km가 감소하는 효과를 보였다. 최근린지수는 0.666632~0.811237였으며, 군집화 범위인 Z-score 검정 결과는 -4.372239~-5.145115, 통계적으로는 P-value(P<0.01)로 매우 유의하면서 산악기상관측망이 군집화 형태로 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 커널밀도 분석 결과, 2012년은 129,719ha/1개소, 2013년 90,917ha/1개소, 2014년 71,342ha/1개소, 2015년 58,875ha/1개소로, 2016년은 50,914ha/1개소로 2012년부터 2016년까지 169,399ha/1개소가 감소하면서 산악기상관측망 공간분포 밀도가 높아진 결과를 보였다. 따라서 백두대간 일부 지역과 경북 내륙, 경남북서부 지역을 대상으로 최적의 입지에 산악기상관측망을 확충하는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다.
