Recently, Japan's Meteorological Research Institute presented the d4PDF database (Database for Policy Decision-Making for Future Climate Change, d4PDF) through large-scale climate ensemble simulations to overcome uncertainty arising from variability when the general circulation model represents extreme-scale precipitation. In this study, the change of precipitation characteristics between the historical and future climate conditions in the Yongdam-dam basin was analyzed using the d4PDF data. The result shows that annual mean precipitation and seasonal mean precipitation increased by more than 10% in future climate conditions. This study also performed an analysis on the change of the return period rainfall. The annual maximum daily rainfall was extracted for each climatic condition, and the rainfall with each return period was estimated. In this process, we represent the extreme-scale rainfall corresponding to a very long return period without any statistical model and method as the d4PDF provides rainfall data during 3,000 years for historical climate conditions and during 5,400 years for future climate conditions. The rainfall with a 50-year return period under future climate conditions exceeded the rainfall with a 100-year return period under historical climate conditions. Consequently, in future climate conditions, the magnitude of rainfall increased at the same return period and, the return period decreased at the same magnitude of rainfall. In this study, by using the d4PDF data, it was possible to analyze the change in extreme magnitude of rainfall.

본 연구는 저빈도·고강도의 확률강우량 산정을 위해, 대규모 기후 앙상블 모의실험으로 생성된 d4PDF (Data for Policy Decision Making for Future Change)를 적용하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 또한, d4PDF를 이용하여 산정된 확률강우량과 관측 자료 및 빈도해석을 통해서 산정된 확률강우량을 비교함으로써 빈도해석 과정의 적용에 따라 발생하는 불확실성을 분석하였다. 이와 같은 연구는 금산, 임실, 전주, 장수 관측소를 대상으로 수행되었다. d4PDF 자료는 총 50개의 앙상블로 구성되어있으며, 하나의 앙상블은 60년동안의 기상자료를 제공하기 때문에 한 지점에서 3,000개의 연 최대 일 강우량을 수집하는 것이 가능했다. 이와 같은 d4PDF의 특징을 토대로 본 연구는 빈도해석 방법을 적용하지 않고, 3000개의 연 최대 일강수량을 비모수적 접근법(Non-parametric approach)에 따라 규모별로 나열하여, 10년부터 1000년의 재현기간을 갖는 확률강우량을 산정했다. 그 후, 관측 자료와 Gumbel 및 GEV (General extreme value) 분포를 토대로 산정된 확률강우량과의 편차를 산정하였다. 그 결과, 재현기간과 관측 기간의 차이가 증가할수록 이 편차가 증가하였으며, 이 결과는 짧은 관측 기간과 빈도해석의 적용은 재현기간이 증가할수록 신뢰하기 어려운 확률강우량을 제시한다는 것을 의미한다. 반면에, d4PDF는 대규모 표본을 이용함으로써 이와 같은 불확실성을 최소화시켜 합리적인 저빈도·고강도의 확률강우량을 제시하였다.

Surface winds over the ocean influence not only the climate change through air-sea interactions but the coastal erosion through the changes in wave height and direction. Thus, demands on a reliable projection of future changes in surface winds have been increasing in various fields. For the future projections, climate models have been widely used and, as a priori, their simulations of surface wind are required to be evaluated. In this study, we evaluate the climatological mean surface winds over the Korean Waters simulated by five regional climate models participating in Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) for East Asia (EA), an international regional climate model inter-comparison project. Compared with the ERA-interim reanalysis data, the CORDEX-EA models, except for HadGEM3-RA, produce stronger wind both in summer and winter. The HadGEM3-RA underestimates the wind speed and inadequately simulate the spatial distribution especially in summer. This summer wind error appears to be coincident with mean sea-level pressure in the North Pacific. For wind direction, all of the CORDEX-EA models simulate the well-known seasonal reversal of surface wind similar to the ERA-interim. Our results suggest that especially in summer, large-scale atmospheric circulation, downscaled by regional models with spectral nudging, significantly affect the regional surface wind on its pattern and strength.
