Artificial neural network (ANN) is a powerful model to predict time series data and have been frequently adopted to predict groundwater level (GWL). Many researchers have also tried to improve the performance of ANN prediction for GWL in many ways. Dummies are usually used in ANN as input to reflect the seasonal effect on predicted results, which is necessary for improving the predicting performance of ANN. In this study, the effect of Dummy on the prediction performance was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using several graphical methods, correlation coefficient and performance index. It was observed that results predicted using dummies for ANN model indicated worse performance than those without dummies.

This study explores the effectiveness of various data preprocessing algorithms for improving subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) climate predictions from six climate forecast models and their Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) using a deep learning-based postprocessing model. A pipeline of data transformation algorithms was constructed to convert raw S2S prediction data into the training data processed with several statistical distribution. A dimensionality reduction algorithm for selecting features through rankings of correlation coefficients between the observed and the input data. The training model in the study was designed with TimeDistributed wrapper applied to all convolutional layers of U-Net: The TimeDistributed wrapper allows a U-Net convolutional layer to be directly applied to 5-dimensional time series data while maintaining the time axis of data, but every input should be at least 3D in U-Net. We found that Robust and Standard transformation algorithms are most suitable for improving S2S predictions. The dimensionality reduction based on feature selections did not significantly improve predictions of daily precipitation for six climate models and even worsened predictions of daily maximum and minimum temperatures. While deep learning-based postprocessing was also improved MME S2S precipitation predictions, it did not have a significant effect on temperature predictions, particularly for the lead time of weeks 1 and 2. Further research is needed to develop an optimal deep learning model for improving S2S temperature predictions by testing various models and parameters.

BACKGROUND: It is well known that rice-fields can provide excellent foraging places for birds including seasonal migrants, wintering, and breeding and hence the high biodiversity of rice-fields may be expected. However, how environmental change including climate-changes on life-history and population dynamics in birds on rice-fields has not been fully understood. In order to investigate how climate-change affects population migratory patterns and migration timing, I modeled a population dynamics of birds in rice-fields over a whole year. METHODS AND RESULTS: I applied the Lotka-Volterra equation to model the population dynamics of birds that have been foraging/visiting rice-fields in Korea. The simple model involves the number of interspecific individuals and temperature, and the model parameters are periodic in time as the biological activities related to the migration, wintering and reproduction are seasonal. As results, firstly there was a positive relationship between the variation of seasonal population sizes and temperature change. Secondly, the reduced lengths of season were negatively related to the population size. Overall, the effects of the difference of lengths of season on seasonal population dynamics were higher than the effects of seasonal temperature change. CONCLUSION(S): Climate change can alter population dynamics of birds in rice-fields and hence the variation may affect the fitness, such as reproduction, survival and migration. The unstable balances of population dynamics in birds using paddy rice field as affected by climate change can reduce the population growth and species diversity in rice fields. The results suggest that the agricultural production is partly affected by the unstable balance of population in birds using rice-fields.

The possibility of utilizing radiant solar energy as a renewable energy resource in Tajikistan was investigated by assessing solar irradiance using XGBoost algorithm. Through training, validation, and testing, the seasonality of solar irradiance was clear in both actual and predicted values. Calculation of hourly values of solar irradiance on 1 July 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 indicated maximum actual and predicted values of 1,005 and 1,009 W/m², 939 and 997 W/m², 1,022 and 1,012 W/m², 1,055 and 1,019 W/m², respectively, with actual and predicted values being within 0.4~5.8%. XGBoost is thus a useful tool in predicting solar irradiance in Tajikistan and evaluating the possibility of utilizing radiant solar energy.

This paper applies a seasonal ARIMA model to the timely forecasting in a line utilization and its confidence interval on the base of the past data of the lido utilization that QoS of the network is greatly influenced by and proposes the prediction algorithm of threshold violation in line utilization using the seasonal ARIMA model. We can predict the time of threshold violation in line utilization and provide the confidence based on probability. Also, we have evaluated the validity of the proposed model and estimated the value of a proper threshold and a detection probability, it thus appears that we have maximized the performance of this algorithm.

Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) prediction information which have 2 weeks to 2 months lead time are expected to be used through many parts of industry fields, but utilizability is not reached to expectation because of lower predictability than weather forecast and mid- /long-term forecast. In this study, we used multi-layer perceptron (MLP) which is one of machine learning technique that was built for regression training in order to improve predictability of S2S precipitation data at South Korea through post-processing. Hindcast information of ECMWF was used for MLP training and the original data were compared with trained outputs based on dichotomous forecast technique. As a result, Bias score, accuracy, and Critical Success Index (CSI) of trained output were improved on average by 59.7%, 124.3% and 88.5%, respectively. Probability of detection (POD) score was decreased on average by 9.5% and the reason was analyzed that ECMWF's model excessively predicted precipitation days. In this study, we confirmed that predictability of ECMWF's S2S information can be improved by post-processing using MLP even the predictability of original data was low. The results of this study can be used to increase the capability of S2S information in water resource and agricultural fields.

현재 댐운영 계획 수립 시 매월 유지해야 하는 저수량의 범위를 나타낸 기준수위가 사용되고 있으며 매년 홍수기 말에 현재의 수문 상황과 장래의 전망을 통한 시기별 연간, 월간 댐운영 계획을 수립하고 있다. 물관리의 이수측면에서 댐수위 운영계획 수립과 홍수기 운영목표 수위를 결정하는데 활용하기 위해서는 계절단위, 연단위의 기상정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 운영하고 제공하는 전지구 계절예측시스템 GloSea5(Global Seasonal forecasting system version 5)자료를 활용하여 금강유역에 적용하고자 하였다. GloSea5는 전지구계절예측시스템으로 대기(UM), 지면(JULES), 해양(NEMO), 해빙(CICE)모델이 서로 결합되어 하나의 시스템으로 구성되어 있으며 공간 수평해상도는 N216($0.83^{\circ}{\times}0.56^{\circ}$)으로 중위도에서 약60km이다. Hindcast자료는 유럽중기예보센터(ECMWF)에서 생산된 ERA-Interim 재분석장을 대기 모델의 초기장으로 사용하며 기간은 1996~2009년의 총 14년이다. 예보자료의 검증은 예보의 질을 결정하는 과정으로 Brier Skill Score (BSS), Reliability Diagrams, Relative Operating, Characteristics (ROC)등을 통해 정확성과 오차에 의한 예보의 성능을 검증하였다. 또한 Glosea5의 통계적 상세화를 수행하여 다양한 변수가 갖는 계통적인 지역 오차를 보정함으로써 자료의 신뢰도를 향상시키고자 하였으며 이는 이후 수문모델과의 연계 시 보다 정확하고 효율적인 댐운영에 활용할 수 있는 기후예측정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Chrysanthemum production would benefit from crop growth simulations, which would support decision-making in crop management. Chrysanthemum is a typical short day plant of which floral initiation and development is sensitive to photoperiod. We developed a model to predict phenological development and leaf appearance of chrysanthemum (cv. Baekseon) using daylength (including civil twilight period), air temperature, and management options like light interruption and ethylene treatment as predictor variables. Chrysanthemum development stage (DVS) was divided into juvenile (DVS=1.0), juvenile to budding (DVS=1.33), and budding to flowering (DVS=2.0) phases for which different strategies and variables were used to predict the development toward the end of each phenophase. The juvenile phase was assumed to be completed at a certain leaf number which was estimated as 15.5 and increased by ethylene application to the mother plant before cutting and the transplanted plant after cutting. After juvenile phase, development rate (DVR) before budding and flowering were calculated from temperature and day length response functions, and budding and flowering were completed when the integrated DVR reached 1.33 and 2.0, respectively. In addition the model assumed that leaf appearance terminates just before budding. This model predicted budding date, flowering date, and leaf appearance with acceptable accuracy and precision not only for the calibration data set but also for the validation data set which are independent of the calibration data set.

댐은 물을 담아두어 강수량에 따른 유량을 조절하거나, 하천의 물을 끌어와 사용할 수 있게 하는 역할 또는 모래, 자갈 등을 막아 걸러주는 역할 등을 수행한다. 우리나라의 경우 지역별, 계절별 강수량의 차이가 크며, 그로 인해 유량이 지역과 계절에 영향을 크게 받는다. 이런 변동성을 조절하기 위해 치수와 이수, 두 분야 모두에서 댐의 중요성이 크다. 이뿐만 아니라 기후변화로 인한 변동성의 극대화로 인해 그 중요성이 나날이 커지고 있다. 댐을 운영하기 위해서는 강수량에 따른 댐 유입량의 예측을 하여, 적절한 방류 시기 및 방류량을 결정하는 것이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 기후변화로 인한 변동성의 증대로 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 재해의 빈도와 심도가 커지면서 댐 유입량의 예측이 어려워지고 있다. 댐의 설계나 유지관리를 위해 홍수에 대해서는 많은 연구가 이루어졌던 것에 비해, 갈수기의 경우 물 부족으로 인해 유량이 적어져 댐 유입량에 대한 정확한 산정이 어려워 가뭄 시 댐 유입량에 관한 연구가 홍수 시에 비해 적게 연구된 것이 실정이다. 따라서 가뭄 시 댐 연구를 위해 갈수기의 댐 유입량에 대한 정확한 산정 및 예측의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 댐 주변의 지하수위와 하천수위의 관계성을 보이고 각각 다른 변량 간의 시간적 종속성을 고려하는 동시에 상호연관된 변량의 시간적 종속성을 동시에 고려한VARX(vector autoregressive-exogenous) 모델을 이용하여 정확한 댐의 유입량을 산정 및 예측하고 그에 대한 검증을 시행하여, 댐 분야에서 가뭄에 대비할 수 있는 근간을 마련하였다.
