Abstract
Strong winds and heavy rainfall from tropical cyclones (TCs) that occur in the Northwestern Pacific cause significant human and material damage to the Korean peninsula and East Asia. Hence, it is important to establish early warning systems and conduct preparedness activities in advance of a TC. This study suggests a technique to extract the value of uniform TC-induced rainfall considering the TC track and TC size. To validate our technique, we compare it to existing TC rainfall techniques using the spatial domain. To determine the TC size required for extracting TC-induced rainfall, this research analyzed the mean of TC-induced rainfall by TC size (1973-2012). As a result of this analysis, the maximum amount of mean of TC-induced rainfall was found for a TC with a radius of 700 km. Other techniques have limitations which this new technique addresses; it can extract TC-induced rainfall in each administrative area and minimize systematic biases of other extraction methods. The result of this study can be utilized in the preparation of rainfall forecasts, designing hydraulic structures, and predicting landslide and debris flows using TC-induced rainfall and downpours.
