The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is a crucial watershed in Asia, impacting over 60 million people across six developing nations. Accurate satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) are essential for effective hydrological and watershed management in this region. However, the performance of SPPs has been varied and limited. The APHRODITE product, a unique gauge-based dataset for MRB, is widely used but is only available until 2015. In this study, we present a novel framework for correcting SPPs in the MRB by employing a deep learning approach that combines convolutional neural networks and encoder-decoder architecture to address pixel-by-pixel bias and enhance accuracy. The DLF was applied to four widely used SPPs (TRMM, CMORPH, CHIRPS, and PERSIANN-CDR) in MRB. For the original SPPs, the TRMM product outperformed the other SPPs. Results revealed that the DLF effectively bridged the spatial-temporal gap between the SPPs and the gauge-based dataset (APHRODITE). Among the four corrected products, ADJ-TRMM demonstrated the best performance, followed by ADJ-CDR, ADJ-CHIRPS, and ADJ-CMORPH. The DLF offered a robust and adaptable solution for bias correction in the MRB and beyond, capable of detecting intricate patterns and learning from data to make appropriate adjustments. With the discontinuation of the APHRODITE product, DLF represents a promising solution for generating a more current and reliable dataset for MRB research. This research showcased the potential of deep learning-based methods for improving the accuracy of SPPs, particularly in regions like the MRB, where gauge-based datasets are limited or discontinued.

Spatial precipitation data is one of the essential components in modeling hydrological problems. The estimation of these data has achieved significant achievements own to the recent advances in remote sensing technology. However, there are still gaps between the satellite-derived rainfall data and observed data due to the significant dependence of rainfall on spatial and temporal characteristics. An effective approach based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to correct the satellite-derived rainfall data is proposed in this study. The Mekong River basin, one of the largest river system in the world, was selected as a case study. The two gridded precipitation data sets with a spatial resolution of 0.25 degrees used in the CNN model are APHRODITE (Asian Precipitation - Highly-Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation) and PERSIANN-CDR (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks). In particular, PERSIANN-CDR data is exploited as satellite-based precipitation data and APHRODITE data is considered as observed rainfall data. In addition to developing a CNN model to correct the satellite-based rain data, another statistical method based on standard deviations for precipitation bias correction was also mentioned in this study. Estimated results indicate that the CNN model illustrates better performance both in spatial and temporal correlation when compared to the standard deviation method. The finding of this study indicated that the CNN model could produce reliable estimates for the gridded precipitation bias correction problem.

Spatiotemporal precipitation data is one of the primary quantities in hydrological as well as climatological studies. Despite the fact that the estimation of these data has made considerable progress owing to advances in remote sensing, the discrepancy between satellite-derived precipitation product (SPP) data and observed data is still remarkable. This study aims to propose an effective deep learning model (DLM) for bias correction of SPPs. In which TRMM (The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission), CMORPH (CPC Morphing technique), and PERSIANN-CDR (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks) are three SPPs with a spatial resolution of 0.25o exploited for bias correction, and APHRODITE (Asian Precipitation - Highly-Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation) data is used as a benchmark to evaluate the effectiveness of DLM. We selected the Mekong River Basin as a case study area because it is one of the largest watersheds in the world and spans many countries. The adjusted dataset has demonstrated an impressive performance of DLM in bias correction of SPPs in terms of both spatial and temporal evaluation. The findings of this study indicate that DLM can generate reliable estimates for the gridded satellite-based precipitation bias correction.

By analyzing Asian Precipitation-Highly-Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation (APHRODITE) from May to September for 1951~2007, this study investigates impacts of two dominant boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) modes on precipitation over Monsoon Asia including Korea and long-term change of 10~20-day and 30~60-day ISO over Korea. It is shown that BSISO strongly modulates rainfall variability over the many part of Monsoon Asia including Korea. Korea tends to have more (less) rainfall during the phases 3~5 (7~8) of BSISO1 representing the canonical northward/northeastward propagating 30~60-day ISO and during the phases 6~8 (3~5) of BSISO2 representing the northward/northwestward propagating 10~20-day ISO. It is found that the 10~20-day ISO variability contributes to summer mean rainfall variability more than 30~60-day ISO over Korea. For the 57 years of 1951~2007, the correlation coefficient between the May to September mean precipitation anomaly and standard deviation of 10~20-day (30~60-day) ISO is 0.71 (0.46). It is further noted that there is a significant increasing trend in the 10~20-day and 30~60-day ISO variability in the rainy season during the period of 1951 to 2007.

최근 기후변화로 인해 홍수, 가뭄 등 수재해가 세계 곳곳에서 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이로 인해 정확한 강우-유출 해석의 중요도는 높아지고 있으며 강우-유출 해석에 따라 수자원 관리 및 계획수립의 정도가 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구 대상 지역인 메콩강 유역은 중국과 동남아시아 5개국(라오스, 태국, 미얀마, 베트남, 캄보디아)을 관통하는 국가공유하천으로 기초자료의 획득이 어렵고 국가별로 구축된 자료가 질적, 양적 품질이 상이하여 수문해석에서의 기초자료로 사용하기에 불확실성이 있다. 최근 기술의 발달로 글로벌 격자형 강수자료 획득이 용이함에 있어 미계측 대유역에서의 다양한 연구들이 수행되고 있지만, 지점강수자료와 시·공간적 오차로 인한 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 글로벌 격자형 강수자료의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 지점 격자형 강수자료(APHRODITE)와 4개의 위성강수자료(CHIRPS, CMORPH, PERSIANN-CDR, TRMM)를 수집하고 합성곱 신경망 모형인 ConvAE 기법을 이용하여 위성강수자료의 시·공간 편의 보정을 수행하였다. 또한, 하천 수위에 대한 장기간 정보 수집이 가능한 메콩강 본류 4개 관측소(Luang Prabang, Pakse, Stung Treng, Kratie)를 선정하였으며 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 매개변수 보정(2004~2013)과 격자형 강수자료의 보정 전·후의 유출모의(2014~2015) 결과를 비교·분석하였다. 격자형 강우를 이용한 보정 및 유출 분석 결과 4개의 위성강수자료 모두 성능이 향상되었으며 그 중 보정된 TRMM이 가장 우수한 성능을 보여 해당 유역에서의 APHRODITE를 대체할 수 있다고 판단하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시하는 ConvAE를 이용한 보정기법과 이를 이용한 강우-유출 해석은 향후 다양한 격자형 강수자료를 활용한 미계측 대유역에서의 수문해석에서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 2006년 6월 ~ 10월에 발생한 메콩강 하류 지역의 홍수를 모의하는 것이다. 강우자료는 위성강우 자료인 미국 NOAA의 CMORPH를 적용하였으며, 홍수유출 해석은 GRM 모델을 적용하였다. Tonlesap 호수를 포함하는 메콩강 하류 지역의 침수분석은 G2D 모델을 적용하였다. 위성강우 자료는 NOAA의 3시간 간격의 CMORPH 위성강우자료를 일일강우량 자료로 변환하고, 일본의 Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN)과 Meteorological Research Institute of the Japan Meteorological Agency (MRI/JMA)의 APHRODITE 프로젝트에 의해 구축된 APHRODITE 강우량 자료를 이용하여 보정한 후 홍수모의에 적용하였다. DEM 자료는 HydroSHED 15s자료를 이용하였고, 토양도는 UN FAO의 HWSD, 그리고 토양도는 Global map landcover ver3.0을 이용하였다. GRM 모델과 G2D 모델은 Github(https://github.com/floodmodel)에 공개되어 있으며, 이를 이용하였다. 유출 모델은 메콩강 전체 유역을 대상으로 2682.815m의 공간해상도로 구축하였다. 보정한 강우를 이용하여 유출모의 한 결과 첨두유량은 23,796.8 ㎥/sec로 계산되었다. Kratie 지점의 유출량과 Tonlesap 호수로 집수되는 유량을 상류단 경계조건으로 이용하여 약 150일 동안의 침수모의를 하였다. 450 m 공간해상도로 침수모의 도매인을 구축하였으며, 조도계수는 0.045를 사용하였고, 하류단은 자유수면 유출조건을 적용하였다. 침수분석 결과 메콩강 본류를 흐르는 유량이 Tonlesap 호수로 유입되어 호수의 수위가 상승하였다. Tonlesap 호수의 최대침수심은 약 11 m를 나타내었으며, 호수로 유입된 유량은 모의기간 중에 호수에 저류되어 있었다. 메콩강 본류의 Kratie 지점으로 유입되는 유량이 첨두값을 지난 후에도 모의 기간이 길어질수록 메콩강 하류 델타지역과 그 주변의 평지로 침수범위가 확대 되었다. 모의 종료시에는 메콩강 하류가 광범위하게 침수되면서 최대 침수면적을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 메콩강을 범람한 홍수는 메콩강 하류의 서쪽 해안으로 먼저 유출이 되었다. 이는 침수모의에 적용된 DEM 자료가 북동쪽에서 서남쪽 방향으로 빗살무늬 형태의 고도분포를 가지기 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 대상 지역의 DEM 정확성 평가와 함께 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

As the Mekong River basin is a nationally shared river, it is difficult to collect precipitation data, and the quantitative and qualitative quality of the data sets differs from country to country, which may increase the uncertainty of hydrological analysis results. Recently, with the development of remote sensing technology, it has become easier to obtain grid-based precipitation products(GPPs), and various hydrological analysis studies have been conducted in unmeasured or large watersheds using GPPs. In this study, rainfall-runoff simulation in the Mekong River basin was conducted using the SWAT model, which is a quasi-distribution model with three satellite GPPs (TRMM, GSMaP, PERSIANN-CDR) and two GPPs (APHRODITE, GPCC). Four water level stations, Luang Prabang, Pakse, Stung Treng, and Kratie, which are major outlets of the main Mekong River, were selected, and the parameters of the SWAT model were calibrated using APHRODITE as an observation value for the period from 2001 to 2011 and runoff simulations were verified for the period form 2012 to 2013. In addition, using the ConvAE, a convolutional neural network model, spatio-temporal correction of original satellite precipitation products was performed, and rainfall-runoff performances were compared before and after correction of satellite precipitation products. The original satellite precipitation products and GPCC showed a quantitatively under- or over-estimated or spatially very different pattern compared to APHPRODITE, whereas, in the case of satellite precipitation prodcuts corrected using ConvAE, spatial correlation was dramatically improved. In the case of runoff simulation, the runoff simulation results using the satellite precipitation products corrected by ConvAE for all the outlets have significantly improved accuracy than the runoff results using original satellite precipitation products. Therefore, the bias correction technique using the ConvAE technique presented in this study can be applied in various hydrological analysis for large watersheds where rain guage network is not dense.

The main objective of this study, "Spatial Downscaling of Precipitation from GCMs for Assessing Climate Change over Han River and Imjin River Watersheds", is to carry out over Han River and Imjin River watersheds. To this end, a statistical regression method with MOS (Model Output Statistics) corrections at every downscaling step was developed and applied for downscaling the spatially-coarse Global Climate Model Projections (GCMPs) from CCSM3 and CSIRO with respect to precipitation into 0.1 degree (about 11 km) spatial grid over study regions. The spatially archived hydro-climate data sets such as Willmott, GsMap and APHRODITE datasets were used for MOS corrections by means of monthly climatology between observations and downscaled values. Precipitation values downscaled in this study were validated against ground observations and then future climate simulation results on precipitation were evaluated for the projections.
