The potential for tropical cyclogenesis in a given oceanic and atmospheric environments can be represented by genesis potential index (GPI). Using the 18 Coupled Model Inter Comparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) models, the annual cycle of GPI and interannual variability of GPI are analyzed in this study. In comparison, the annual cycle of GPI calculated from reanalysis data is revisited. In particular, GPI differences between CMIP5 models and reanalysis data are compared, and the possible reasons for the GPI differences are discussed. ENSO (El Nino and Southern Oscillation) has a tropical phenomenon, which affects tropical cyclone genesis and its passages. Some dynamical interpretations of tropical cyclogenesis are suggested by using the fact that GPI is a function of four large-scale parameters. The GPI anomalies in El Nino or La Nina years are discussed and the most contributable factors are identified in this study. In addition, possible dynamics of tropical cyclogenesis in the Northern Hemisphere Pacific region are discussed using the large-scale factors.

This study investigated typhoon characteristics that provoke precipitation which is much attacking periodically in our country, and calculated probability precipitation of extreme rainfalls using Empirical Simulation Technique. The typhoon influenced in Korea was happened 3.18 times per, and year exposed to affect Korea during 107 hours. The depth of precipitation with the typhoon was different according to observation points. The extreme precipitation of typhoon events has analyzed by change and trend analyses. In the results, mean and standard deviation of extreme rainfall has been increasing than the past events in some areas. Also, About 143 typhoons influenced Korea was applied in EST techniques using center position, central pressure, time precipitation data using rainfall observatory in Korea. Therefore, we applied EST techniques and calculated probability precipitation. In the results, Jeonla-do, Gyeongsang-do and Gangwon-do will have heavy rain with typhoon events in high probability.

An analysis on landslide types and susceptibilities associated with geomorphic characteristics has been conducted with 916 landslide inventories in Yeonchon-Chulwon District, where two day's heavy rainfall was concentrated on July, 1996. The precipitation during the 2 days, which is equivalent to 0.372 of event cofficient, can cause large landslides based on Olivier's equation. Sliding materials are dominantly composed of debris mixed with rock fragments and soil derived from colluvium and residual soils. 66% of the landslides are belong to debris flow md 23% are due to sediments flow, in accordance with the classification of sliding materials. Most of landslides(> 90%) are small and shallow, less than l00m in length and about 1m in depth, and classified as transitional type. Granite is more susceptible as much as 4.7 times than metamorphic rocks and 2.7 times than volcanic rocks, probably due to higher weathering grade of granite. The highest landslide frequency is concentrated on the areas between 200 and 300m in height and on the slopes between $10-20^{\circ}$ in dgree. More than 50% of landslides occurred under these geomorphic conditions. Consequently, colluviums and residual soils distributed on the gentle slopes are most susceptible to the landslides of the area.

Increasingly, the emphasis in regional Passenger rail Planning is finding ways to more efficiently use existing facilities, with particular attention being Paid to Policies designed to spread Peak-Period travel demand more evenly throughout the week with consideration of train classification. In this context the individual's choice of time to travel is of crucial significance. This paper investigates the use of multinomial logit analysis to model ridership by rail classification using data collected for travel from Seoul to Busan during the one week in October 2004. The Particular model form that was successfully calibrated was the multinomial logit (MNL) model : it describes the choice mechanism that will Permit rail systems and operations to be planned on a more reliable basis. The assumption of independently and identically distributed(IID) error terms in the MNL model leads to its infamous independence from irrelevant alternatives (IIA) property. Relaxation of the IID assumption has been undertaken along a number or isolated dimensions leading to the development of the MNL model. For business and related rail travel patterns, the most important variables of choice were time and frequency to the chosen destination. The calibrated model showed high agreement between observed and Predicted market shares. The model is expected to be of use to railroad authorities in Planning and determining business strategies in the Increasingly competitive environment or regional rail transport.

Considering the effect of climate change, a quantitative analysis of extreme drought is needed to reduce the damage from extreme droughts. Therefore, in this study, a quantitative risk analysis of extreme drought was conducted. The threshold level method was applied to define a drought event using Cheugugi rainfall data in past, gauged rainfall data in present, and climate change scenario rainfall data in future. A bivariate drought frequency analysis was performed using the copula function to simultaneously consider two major drought characteristics such as duration and severity. Based on the bivariate drought frequency curves, the risks for the past, present and future were calculated and the risks for future extreme drought were analyzed comparing with the past and present. As a result, the mean drought duration of the future was shorter than that of past and present, however, the mean drought severity was much larger. Therefore short term and severe droughts were expected to occur in the future. In addition, the analysis of the maximum drought risk indicated that the future maximum drought risk was 1.39~1.94 times and 1.33~1.81 times higher than the past and present. Finally, the risk of extreme drought over past and present maximum drought in the future was very high, ranging from 0.989 to 1.0, and the occurrence probability of extreme drought was high in the future.

Mineralogy, chemistry, physical property, and fossil abundance have been studied for the samples collected from three weathering profiles, two from the Duho Formation and one from the Hagjeon Formation in the Tertiary sediments in the Pohang area. The mineralogy of the samples from the Duho Formation shows somewhat different from that of the Hagjeon Formation. Kaolinite is more abundant and shows higher crystallinity in samples from the Duho Formation than those in the Hagjeon Formation, but clay mineral assemblage in each weathering profile remain fairly constant with depth. This difference in mineral distribution seems to be inherited from original source materials. It indicates that little or not severe leaching has been taking place in these three weathering profiles. Weathering indicies indicate different degrees of susceptibility to chemical weathering in these two formations. The Duho Formation has a higher degree of susceptibility to weathering than that of the Hagjeon Formation which is mainly due to differences in clay mineral assemblages in both formations. A noticeble colour difference between oxidized and unoxidized zones in each profile can be easily recognized which is definetely due to different decomposition rate organic carbon by various oxidation state from surface to bottom of the profile. Weathering process have also intensively influenced microfossil preservation about up to 7-10 m in depth in the Duho Formation. Consequently, characteristics observed at weathering surface should be used as a subsidiary tool in setting geologic boundary or establishing formation. Great care must be taken to choose sampling site for microfossil study.

In this study, spatio-temporal distribution of future drought in South Korea was predicted by using the meteorological data generated from GCMs on which a variety of climate changing scenarios are applied. Drought phenomena was quantitatively analyzed using SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index). In addition, potential drought hazard maps for different drought duration and return period were made for the South Koreaby drought frequency analysis after deriving SDF(Severity-Duration-Frequency) curves using the 54 weather stations throughout the country. From the potential drought hazard maps, drought is expected to be severer in Nakdong River basin and Seomjin River basin under A2 scenario. It was also predicted that drought would be severe in the Han River basin by RCP8.5 scenario. In the future, potential drought hazard area would be expanded until the Eastern part of Nakdong River basin as compared with that of past under A2 scenario condition. Research results indicated that future drought would be extensively occurred all areas of South Korea not limiting in the southern part of country.

최근에 이상기후로 인해 예측하기 힘든 기상현상들이 돌발적이고 대규모의(또는 설계빈도를 초과하는) 집중호우를 야기하여 댐과 같은 수공구조물의 안전을 위협하고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 대규모의 집중호우로 발생되는 댐의 붕괴에 대한 대책을 수립하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 특히 댐의 붕괴가 도시의 침수로 이어지는 경우는 더욱 많은 인명과 재산피해를 발생시키므로 도시지역을 흐르는 범람홍수파의 특성에 대한 규명은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 홍수범람파의 특성을 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 모의하였다. 저류 수심 0.4m, 두께 0.8m의 댐이 붕괴하여 붕괴폭이 1m가 된다고 가정하였고, 도시지역은 댐으로부터 5m 거리에 위치한다고 가정하였다. 대상 도시지역은 $0.3m{\times}0.3m{\times}0.6m$($L{\times}W{\times}H$)인 정사각형 블록들을 $5{\times}5$ 정방향으로 배치하였고, 수리실험 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 그리고 범람홍수파가 흐름방향과 일치하게 접근해오는 경우와 도시지역으로의 접근각도에 따른 범람홍수파의 변화를 보기위해 흐름방향에 대하여 각각 $10^{\circ}$, $22.5^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ 회전시킨 경우에 대해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 그리고 각 경우의 침수영향들을 비교하여 그 차이점을 분석하였다. 모의 결과 범람홍수파의 접근각도가 흐름방향에 대해 커질수록 도시선단에서 도수는 적게 일어났고 유속도 감소하였으며, 수심은 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 범람홍수파가 흐름방향과 일치하게 접근해 올 때가 가장 위험한 case 라는 것을 알 수 있다. 이 결과는 추후 유체-구조물간의 연성해석을 통하여 범람 홍수파의 흐름이 건물에 주는 영향까지 파악한다면 예방대책 수립의 보다 더 정확한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

2020년 8월 섬진강 유역에서 100년 빈도 이상의 대홍수가 발생함에 따라 제방이 붕괴되거나 하천 범람이 발생하는 피해가 발생하였다. 8월 홍수를 대상으로 섬진강 본류 남원(신덕리) 수위국에서 기존의 수위-유량 관계 곡선식(이하 Rating curve)의 최대 적용 가능 수위는 2.53m 이지만, 해당 기간 첨두 수위는 10m 이상을 기록하였다. 이러한 대홍수의 경우 기왕의 관측데이터가 없을 뿐만 아니라 기존의 Rating curve를 외삽하여 활용하는 것에도 한계가 있어 간접적으로 유량을 산정할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 유량측정이 어려운 지점을 대상으로 주어진 유량에 대하여 수위를 재현할 수 있는 K-water에서 개발된 K-River모형(1차원 하천수리해석모형)과 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 기법을 활용하여 간접적으로 유량을 산정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 개발된 방법론은 고수위 구간에 대한 Rating curve의 불확실성으로 인하여 본류와 지류의 유입량 추정이 어려웠던 섬진강 요천 합류부에 적용하였다. 대상구간은 본류(섬진강) 26km 및 지류(요천) 15km로 구성되어 있으며, 본류와 지류의 상류인 수위국 남원(신덕리) 관측소와 남원(동림교) 관측소에는 각각 기존의 Rating curve가 존재한다. 불확실성이 높은 Rating curve의 고수위 구간에 대한 매개변수를 조정하여 다수의 Rating curve를 생성하고, 이를 기반으로 관측수위를 다수의 상류 시계열 유량자료(경계조건)로 환산하였다. 다음으로 이 유량자료를 기반으로 앙상블 모의를 수행 후 대상구간의 중간지점에 위치한 수위국(고달(고달교) 관측소, 송동(요천대교) 관측소, 곡성(금곡교) 관측소)에서 수위재현성(NSE, RSR등 활용)을 평가하여 최적 샘플 추출을 추출하였다. 추출된 샘플로부터 상류 경계지점의 적정 Rating curve 선정과 각 지점에서의 시계열 수위 및 유량을 역으로 추정하였다. 이를 통해 실제 유량측정결과 없이도 간접적으로 신뢰도 높은 유량 자료를 확보할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 수자원의 효율적 관리 및 홍수관리를 위하여 효율적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

In recent years, debris flow disaster has occurred in multiple locations between high and low mountainous areas simultaneously with a flooding disaster in urban areas caused by heavy and torrential rainfall due to the changing global climate and environment. As a result, these disasters frequently lead to large-scale destruction of infrastructures or individual properties and cause psychological harm or human death. In order to mitigate these disasters more effectively, it is necessary to investigate what causes the damage with an integrated model of both disasters at once. The objectives of this study are to analyze the mechanism of debris flow for real basin, to determine the PMP and run-off discharge due to the DAD analysis, and to estimate the influence range of debris flow for fan area according to the scenario. To analyse the characteristics of debris flow at the real basin, the parameters such as the deposition pattern, deposit thickness, approaching velocity, occurrence of sediment volume and travel length are estimated from DAD analysis. As a results, the peak time precipitation is estimated by 135 mm/hr as torrential rainfall and maximum total amount of rainfall is estimated by 544 mm as typhoon related rainfall.
