Climatic variables such as temperature and precipitation tend to vary both in space and in time simultaneously. Thus, it is necessary to include space-time autocorrelation into conventional spatial interpolation methods for reliable time-series mapping. This paper introduces and applies space-time variogram modeling and space-time kriging to generate time-series temperature maps using hourly Automatic Weather System(AWS) temperature observation data for a one-month period. First, temperature observation data are decomposed into deterministic trend and stochastic residual components. For trend component modeling, elevation data which have reasonable correlation with temperature are used as secondary information to generate trend component with topographic effects. Then, space-time variograms of residual components are estimated and modelled by using a product-sum space-time variogram model to account for not only autocorrelation both in space and in time, but also their interactions. From a case study, space-time kriging outperforms both conventional space only ordinary kriging and regression-kriging, which indicates the importance of using space-time autocorrelation information as well as elevation data. It is expected that space-time kriging would be a useful tool when a space-poor but time-rich dataset is analyzed.

Traffic safety assessment is often accomplished by analyzing the number of crashes occurring in some geographic space over certain specific time duration. In this paper, we introduce a procedure that can efficiently analyze spatial and temporal changes in traffic crashes before-and-after implementation of a certain traffic controlling measure. For the analysis, crash frequency data before-and-after closing a major highway around St. Louis in Missouri was collected through Transportation Management System(TMS) database that is maintained by Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). In order to identify any spatial and temporal pattern in crashes, each crash is pinpointed on a map using the dynamic segmentation in GIS. Then, the identified pattern is statistically confirmed using an analysis of variance table. The advantage of this approach is to easily assess spatial and temporal trend of crashes that are not readily attainable otherwise. The results from this study can possibly be applied in enhancing the highway safety assessment procedure. This paper also makes several suggestions for future development of a comprehensive transportation data system in Korea which is similar to MoDOT's TMS database.

Land information is the real-time spatial thing which must be considered with spatial and time factors. This study aims to apply and implement an appropriate spatiotemporal model for land information by exploring spatiotemporal data models which have been suggested in the previous studies. The implemented spatiotemporal model in this study is characterized by time and attribute. In the time aspect, it is divided by valid time and transaction time, and in the attribute aspect, includes the related information such as area and ownership. At the spatial point of view, the model has a spaghetti information structure as reducing information overlapped by managing the spatial information coordinates. The spatiotemporal land information model in this study facilitates representing the quality of attribute, spatial and time information.

Evaluation of traffic data quality is a backbone of better traffic information and management systems because it directly affects the reliability of traffic information. This study developed an integrated index for evaluating the quality of archived intelligent transportation systems (ITS) data. Two novel indices including spatio-temporal consistency and severity of missing data were devised and integrated with existing indices such as availability and completeness. An evaluation framework was proposed based on the developed integrated index. Both analytical hierarchical analysis (AHP) technique and entropy method were adopted to derive mixed weighting values to be used for the integrated index. It is expected that the proposed methodology would be effectively used in enhancing the quality of traffic data as a part of traffic information system.

Because groundwater recharge shows spatial-temporal variability due to climatic conditions, it is necessary to investigate land use and hydrogeological heterogeneity, and estimate the spatial variability in the daily recharge rate based on an integrated surface-groundwater model. The integrated SWAT-MODFLOW model was applied to compute physically based daily groundwater recharge in the Jincheon region. The temporal variations in estimated recharge were calibrated using the observed groundwater head at several National Groundwater Monitoring Stations and at automatic groundwater-monitoring sites constructed during the Basic Groundwater Investigation Project (2009-2010). For the whole Mihocheon watershed, including the Jincheon region, the average groundwater recharge rate is estimated to be 20.8% of the total rainfall amount, which is in good agreement with the analytically estimated recharge rate. The proposed methodology will be a useful tool in the management of groundwater in Korea.

현재의 기술과 전문가들의 지식을 바탕으로 수치 예보 모델의 해상도가 점차 증가하고 있으나 한편으로는 해상도가 높아질수록 신뢰성 있는 장기 예보를 제공하는데 어려움이 있다. 즉, 고해상도 모델의 경우 미세한 오차가 발생 하더라도, 실제 기상학적 관점에서 시공간적으로 변동성이 크게 발생할 개연성이 크며, 이로 인해 모델에서 발생하는 불확실성은 더욱 커질 수 있다. 한국 기상청(KMA)에서는 영국기상청으로부터 도입한 통합모델(UM)을 현업 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서 기상청 통합모델인 UM3.0 예보모델의 예측정확성을 다양한 관점에서 평가하고자 한다. 기상청 UM3.0 모델은 3km의 공간해상도와 1시간 시간해상도를 가지며, 예보시작시점기준 7일간의 예보정보를 제공한다. 강수량 예측정보의 활용성을 평가하기 위해서 예측 시계열에 대해 RMSE, 편의 및 등 다양한 통계지표와 공간적인 강수량 발생 특성을 평가하기 위해서 FSS 방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 UM3.0 모델의 1시간 및 3km의 시공간해상도와 선행예보 기간을 그대로 수문학적으로 활용하는 데에는 다소 무리가 있는 것으로 평가되었으며, 이러한 점에서 수문학적 활용관점에서 최적의 시공간적 규모와 선행예보 시간을 분석하였다.

미래 극한사상의 초과확률을 산정하기 위하여 저해상도의 전지구 기후변화 시나리오 자료를 그대로 사용하거나 이를 역학적 또는 통계적 방법으로 상세화한 고해상도 기후변화 시나리오 자료를 활용한다. 통계적 상세화는 전지구 또는 지역기후모델의 현재기후 모의 자료와 관측 자료와의 통계적 관계를 미래 예측자료에 적용하는 방법으로, 현재와 미래 기후의 시공간적 분포가 동일하다는 가정을 포함하고 있다. 반면 역학적 상세화 방법은 기후변화 강제력을 고려하는 지역기후모델을 이용하여 기후시스템의 역학 및 물리과정, 기후시스템간 의 상호작용, 기후변화의 비정상성 등을 고려할 수 있고, 변수간의 시공간적 상관성을 지구시스템의 물리 역학적 과정으로 해석할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이에 국립기상연구소에서는 영국 기상청의 통합모델(UM)기반의 지역기후모델(HadGEM3)을 사용하여 50 km 및 12.5 km 격자 단위로 역학적 상세화(dynamic downscaling)를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 역학적 상세화로 생산된 HadGEM3-RA 자료를 이용하여 현재기후(1980-2005), 가까운 미래(2020-2049)와 21세기말(2070-2099)의 20년 빈도 강수량을 비교하였다. 연구결과, 남한에 걸쳐 현재기후에 비하여 미래에는 극한강수의 크기와 빈도가 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 20년에 한번씩 발생하였던 일 극한강수는 RCP8.5를 고려한 21세기말에는 약 4년에 한번씩 발생하리라 전망되었다.

The Purpose of this study is to analyze wether the composition of training sample have a relation with the Predictive ability and the learning results of ANNs(Artificial Neural Networks) fur predicting one cycle ahead of the queue length(veh.) in a signalized intersection. In this study, ANNs\` training sample is classified into the assumption of two cases. The first is to utilize time-series(Per cycle) data of queue length which would be detected by one detector (loop or video) The second is to use time-space correlated data(such as: a upstream feed-in flow, a link travel time, a approach maximum stationary queue length, a departure volume) which would be detected by a integrative vehicle detection systems (loop detector, video detector, RFIDs) which would be installed between the upstream node(intersection) and downstream node. The major findings from this paper is In Daechi Intersection(GangNamGu, Seoul), in the case of ANNs\` training sample constructed by time-space correlated data between the upstream node(intersection) and downstream node, the pattern recognition ability of an interrupted traffic flow is better.
