In this study, spatio-temporal patterns of extreme precipitation events caused by typhoons are examined based on observational daily precipitation data at approximately 340 weather stations of Korea Meterological Administration's ASOS (Automated Synoptic Observation System) and AWS (Automatic Weather System) networks for the recent 10 year period (2002~2011). Generally, extreme precipitation events by typhoons exceeding 80mm of daily precipitation commonly appear in Jeju Island, Gyeongsangnam-do, and the eastern coastal regions of the Korean Peninsula. However, the frequency, intensity and spatial extent of typhoon-driven extreme precipitation events can be modified depending on the topography of major mountain ridges as well as the pathway of and proximity to typhoons accompanying the anti-clockwise circulation of low-level moisture with hundreds of kilometers of radius. Yellow Sea-passing type of typhoons in July cause more frequent extreme precipitation events in the northern region of Gyeonggi-do, while East Sea-passing type or southern-region-landfall type of typhoons in August-early September do in the interior regions of Gyeongsangnam-do. These results suggest that when local governments develop optimal mitigation strategies against potential damages by typhoons, the pathway of and proximity to typhoons are key factors.

천해역의 파랑발달에 대한 태풍경로의 영향력을 분석 하였다. 우리나라 남동해안에 주로 피해를 초래할 것으로 판단되는 태풍의 경로를 '남해안 상륙 후 내륙 통과'와 '대한해협통과'로 분류하고 각 경로에 따른 태풍규모와 파랑발달을 1956년 부터 2004년까지의 기상자료를 바탕으로 검토하였다. 태풍 경로의 영향력 분석은 천해역 파랑발달의 주요외력이 지형조건에 의해 결정되므로(즉, 폐쇄해역은 태풍의 바람장이 주요외력이며, 개방해역은 심해 전달파랑과 바람장의 영향을 동시에 받는다), 개방해역과 폐쇄해역의 경우로 나누어 수치모형실험을 통해 수행하였다. 실험조건은 태풍 "매미"의 강도와 특성 값을 기준으로 하였으며, 대상해역은 부산신항 인근해역과 원전항 인근해역을 개방형과 폐쇄형 해역으로 대별하여 실험을 수행하였다. 자료의 분석결과 최근 이상기후현상으로 태풍의 강도가 커지고 있음을 뒷받침 하는 근거는 찾아보기 힘들었으며, 2000년대 이후로 남해안에 상륙하는 경로'1'이 대한해협을 통과하는 경로(경로'2')보다 그 내습빈도가 커지고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 태풍의 경로와 풍향이 같은 방향인 경로'1'일 때 에너지가 집중되어 태풍중심기압과 풍속과 파고의 증가가 함께 일어난다. 그러나 태풍의 경로와 풍속의 방향이 일치하지 않는 경로'2'의 경우는 에너지가 분산되므로 태풍중심기압과 풍속은 함께 증가하나 파랑에너지는 함께 발달하지 않는 것으로 보였다. 내습한 태풍의 강도를 경로별로 비교한 결과, 경로'1'이 경로'2'보다 큰 강도를 가지고 연악역에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다.

Lately, more frequent typhoons cause extensive flood and wind damage throughout the summer season. In this respect, this study aims to develop a probabilistic clustering model that uses both typhoon genesis location and trajectories. The proposed model was applied to the 197 typhoon events that made landfall in the Korean peninsula from 1951 to 2012. We evaluate the performance of the proposed clustering model through a simulation study based on synthetic typhoon trajectories. The seven distinguished clusters for typhoons affecting Korean peninsula were identified. It was found that most of typhoon genesis originated from a remote position ($10^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}N$, $120^{\circ}{\sim}150^{\circ}E$) near the Equator. Cluster, type B can be regarded as a major track due to the fact that its frequency is approximately about 25.4% out of 197 events and its direct association with strong positive rainfall anomalies.

Coastal disasters have become one of the most important issues in every coastal country. In Korea, coastal disasters such as storm surge, sea level rise and extreme weather have placed many coastal regions in danger of being exposed or damaged during subsequent storms and gradual shoreline retreat. A storm surge is an onshore gush of water associated with a tow pressure weather system, typically in typhoon season. However, it is very difficult to predict storm surge height and inundation due to the irregularity of the course and intensity of a typhoon. To provide a new scheme of typhoon damage prediction model, the scenario which changes the central pressure, the maximum wind radius, the track and the proceeding speed by corresponding previous typhoon database, was composed. The virtual typhoon scenario database was constructed with individual scenario simulation and evaluation, in which it extracted the result from the scenario database of information of the hereafter typhoon and information due to climate change. This virtual typhoon scenario database will apply damage prediction information about a typhoon. This study performed construction and analysis of the simulation system with the storm surge/coastal inundation model at Masan coastal areas, and applied method for predicting using the scenario of the storm surge.

본 연구에서는 태풍 초기화된 수치모델과 AWS (Automatic Weather System) data를 이용하여 제주도를 통과하는 태풍들의 바람 강도 특성을 분석하였다. 태풍이 내습했을 때 제주도 전 지역에서 동시 관측을 하기에는 불가능하다. 따라서 중규모 수치 모델인 Advanced Research WRF v3.0.1을 사용하여 분석하였으며 더욱 정확한 태풍 모의를 위해 Kwon and Cheong (2009)에 의해 개발된 정교한 태풍 초기화 기법을 적용하였다. 태풍 초기화된 자료에 의해 모의된 결과는 The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) Tokyo의 예보 오차와 비교했을 때 더 향상된 결과를 보였으므로 태풍 초기화 기법의 사용은 본 연구에서 하고자하는 태풍들의 바람 강도 분석에 타당하다고 판단하였다. 그리고 모의된 결과는 그에 상응하는 AWS data와의 joint distribution (Moskaitis, 2008) 분석을 통해 비교되었다. 태풍 경로에 따른 제주도 지역의강 풍을 고려하기 위해 각각 제주도의 오른쪽과 왼쪽을 지나가는 2003년 6호 태풍 'SOUDELOR'와 2004년 7호 태풍 'MINDULLE'를 선정하였다. 또한, 모의 결과로부터 제주도 지역에 태풍이 내습했을 때 강풍의 상대적인 크기의 비교를 위해 모의된 태풍의 최대 풍속을 수치 모의로 얻은 10m 바람장의 모든 격자점에 나누어 정규화 하였다. 이를 시간에 대해 평균하여 태풍이 제주도 지역을 통과하는 전체시간에 대한 상대적인 강도 특성을 분석하였다. 수치 모의 결과와 관측 자료와의 joint distribution 분석 결과, 바람의 크기와 경향이 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 강한 풍속과 약한 풍속이 나타나는 지역은 제주도 지역의 주풍향과 지형의 영향에 크게 좌우되었다. 정규화된 바람은 산악의 정상에서 강풍이 관측되고 주 풍향에 대해 풍상측과 풍하측에서 비교적 낮은 풍속이 관측되는 결과를 보였다. 이는 Hoinka (1985)의 산악 위에서의 바람의 특성에 관한 연구에서 얻어진 결과와 유사하다. 서로 다른 경로로 통과하는 두 태풍의 모의 결과에서 제주도의 북서쪽 지역과 남동쪽 지역에서 상대적으로 약한 풍속이 관측되었다. 따라서 해당지역에서는 태풍에 동반되는 강풍의 피해를 적게 입을 것이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In recent years, strong typhoons have passed South Korea almost every year and severe damages were incurred directly and indirectly. However, instances where wave and wind data were procured from the offshore approach path of the typhoon are very rare and thus researchers are experiencing difficulties in obtaining calibration and verification data of typhoon-generated wave modeling. This paper provides a synthesis of records of observations by the Korea Meteorological Administration and Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology on storm waves generated by the typhoons SONGDA, NABI, and SHANSHAN that passed from 2004 to 2006 in order to help researchers interested in typhoon-generated wave numerical modeling. Although the trajectories of typhoon NABI and SHANSHAN were east of the Korea Strait, a significant wave height of 8.3 m was measured at Namhyeongjedo located east of Geojedo. Moreover, an unprecedented significant wave height of 12.2 m was measured for both typhoons at a station 1.4 km away from Yeongil Bay breakwater. Meanwhile, a comparative analysis of data obtained with a ocean data buoy at Geojedo and a Directional Waverider at Namhyeongjedo showed maximum wave heights that were similar but considerably different significant wave heights.

The recent unusual climate and extreme weather events have frequently given unexpected disaster and damages, facing difficulties in the management of water resources. In particular, climate change could result in intensified typhoons, and this would be the worst case scenario that can happen. The primary objective of this study is to identify the patterns of typhoon-induced precipitation and the associated synoptic pattern. This study focused on analyzing precipitation patterns over the South Korea using historic records as opposed to a specified season or duration, and further investigates the potential connection with heavy rainfall to synoptic patterns. In this study, we used the best track data provided by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center of Japan for 40 years from 1973 to 2012. The patterns of the typhoon-induced precipitation were categorized into four groups according to a given typhoon track information, and then the associated synoptic climatology patterns were further investigated. The results demonstrate that the typhoon-induced precipitation patterns could be grouped and potentially simulated according to the identified synoptic patterns. Our future work will focus on developing a short-term forecasting model of typhoon-induced precipitation considering the identified climate patterns as inputs.

본 연구에서는 태풍의 천애역 내습시 태풍의 풍역이동과 위험반경내의 풍향 풍속 변화를 해안지형의 특성에 따라 파랑이 충분히 발달할 수 있는 해역을 대상으로 발생가능한 풍향별 취송거리 및 관측된 풍향 풍속으로 천해설계파를 산정하기 위한 한가지 수치해석기법을 소개한다. 이를 통해 구조물 전면에서의 파고계산을 위해서는 구역을 결정할 때 해역의 개방 정도 및 폐쇄성과 태풍중심 이동경로가 천해설계파 산정시 중요함을 강조 할 수 있다. 실시간 해석기법에 대해서 부가적인 재해석 절차가 필요한 상황이지만 본 연구의 해석기법은 연안 해안지역의 천해설계파를 추정함에 있어 태풍의 천해역 통과시 풍역의 변화특성과 이를 고려한 파랑의 불획 정성을 극복하고 보완 할 수 있는 천해설계파 산정을 위한 기초적 연구로서 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Recently, the unusual climate change is happening from the global warming in the whole world, the Korean peninsula is also no exception. It is predicted by many researchers that, in the near future, the Super-Typhoon of overwhelming power will occur due to rising temperatures on the sea surface around the Korean peninsula. In this study, numerical simulation has been performed with the Super-Typhoons which combined route of Typhoon Maemi with typhoon conditons of Hurricane Katrina (New Oleans in U.S.A, 2005), Typhoon Durian (philippine, 2006) and Typhoon Vera (Ise Bay in Japan, 1959) at Busan and Gyeongnam coastal area which has been badly damaged due to storm surge every year. From the numerical results, it is revealed that the storm surge heights of the Super-Typhoons are higher than that of Maemi, specially the storm surge height in the case of Katrina is about 4 times larger. So, it can be pointed out that the construction of countermeasures against disasters are very important in order to prepare against an attack of the Super-Typhoons.

Linear-tracked typhoons were simulated to investigate the effect of parameter sensitivity at Gyeongnam coastal zone. To do this, appropriateness of the linear-tracked MAEMI(0314) was tested and 175 scenarios were simulated on the basis of virtual MAEMI. The results show surge heights are relatively large at Masan and Tongyeong, and it can be attributed to topographical effects. At Masan, 2.5 m-surge height is probable with the same intensity but slightly different track from the real typhoon MAEMI. At the other stations, surge heights induced by real MAEMI are nearly same as the maximum heights of the virtual typhoons, which indicates the real track of the typhoon MAEMI was almost the most severe one. Surge heights caused by the barometric effect are higher than those by the wind effect, and the former effect shows the maximum at the eye of typhoon.
