This study presents a change-point in the 30 years (1976-2005) time series of the annual and the heavy precipitation characteristics (amount, days and intensity) averaged over South Korea using Bayesian approach. The criterion for the heavy precipitation used in this study is 80 mm/day. Using non-informative priors, the exact Bayes estimators of parameters and unknown change-point are obtained. Also, the posterior probability and 90% highest posterior density credible intervals for the mean differences between before and after the change-point are examined. The results show that a single change-point in the precipitation intensity and the heavy precipitation characteristics has occurred around 1996. As the results, the precipitation intensity and heavy precipitation characteristics have clearly increased after the change-point. However, the annual precipitation amount and days show a statistically insignificant single change-point model. These results are consistent with earlier works based on a simple linear regression model.

In this paper, we examine the multiple change-point and change pattern in the 54 years (1954-2007) time series of the annual and the heavy precipitation characteristics (amount, days and intensity) averaged over South Korea. A Bayesian approach is used for detecting of mean and/or variance changes in a sequence of independent univariate normal observations. Using non-informative priors for the parameters, the Bayesian model selection is performed by the posterior probability through the intrinsic Bayes factor of Berger and Pericchi (1996). To investigate the significance of the changes in the precipitation characteristics between before and after the change-point, the posterior probability and 90% highest posterior density credible intervals are examined. The results showed that no significant changes have occurred in the annual precipitation characteristics (amount, days and intensity) and the heavy precipitation intensity. On the other hand, a statistically significant single change has occurred around 1996 or 1997 in the heavy precipitation days and amount. The heavy precipitation amount and days have increased after the change-point but no changes in the variances.

The global patterns of annual and extreme precipitation are projected to be altered by climate change. There are various weather systems which bring precipitation (e.g. tropical cyclone, extratropical cyclone, etc.). It is possible in some regions that multiple weather systems affect the changes of precipitation. However, previous studies have assessed only the changes of precipitation associated with individual weather systems. The relative contributions of the weather systems to the changes of precipitation have not been quantified yet. Also, the changes of the relative importance of weather systems have not been assessed. This study present the quantitative estimates of 1) the relative contributions of weather systems (tropical cyclone (TC), extratropical cyclone (ExC), and "others") to the future changes of annual and extreme precipitation and 2) the changes of the proportions of precipitation associated with each weather system in annual and extreme precipitation based on CMIP5 generation GCM outputs. Weather systems are objectively detected from twelve GCM outputs and six models are selected for further analysis considering the reproducibility of weather systems. In general, the weather system which is dominant in terms of producing precipitation in the present climate contributes the most to the changes of annual and extreme precipitation in each region. However, there are exceptions for the tendency. In East Asia, "others", which ranks the second in the proportion of annual precipitation in present climate, has the largest contribution to the increase of annual precipitation. It was found that the increase of the "others" annual precipitation in East Asia is mainly explained by the changes of that in summer season (JJA), most of which can be regarded as the summer monsoon precipitation. In Southeast Asia, "others" precipitation, the second dominant system in the present climate, has the largest contribution to the changes of very heavy precipitation (>99.9 percentile daily precipitation of historical period). Notable changes of the proportions of precipitation associated with each weather system are found mainly in subtropics, which can be regarded as the "hotspot" of the precipitation regime shift.

최근 30년($1976{\sim}2005$년)간 기상청 60개 관측 지점의 자료를 이용하여 강수 현상의 시 공간 변동 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 남한 전체 연 평균 강수량은 약 1310 mm이고 남부지역과 경기/강원 지역에서 많고(약 1300 mm 이상) 경북내륙지역에서는 적으며(1100 mm 이하), 강수 일수는 주로 소백산맥 주변지역에서 약 100일 이상인 반면 경북 내륙지역에서는 90일 이하로 공간차가 크다. 강수현상의 경년 변동은 주로 강수량 및 강수일수가 많고 강수강도가 강한 남부지방과 영동지역, 소백산맥과 그 서쪽 지역 그리고 남부와 중부지역에서 각각 크다. 강수량의 경우 남해안 지역에서는 과우해와 다우해의 연 강수량 차이가 최대 800 mm에 이를 정도로 경년 변동이 크다. 강수 현상의 계절 변동(여름집중도)은 경년 변동에 비해 지리적 환경(해발고도, 해안/내륙, 태백산맥의 동쪽/서쪽)에 더 밀접하게 연관되어 발생하고있다. 남해안(동해안) 지역에서는 봄, 여름과 가을의 강수비율이 각각 20(16)%, 53(53)% 및 20(24)%로 강수의 여름집중도가 약한 반면, 경기 내륙 지역에서는 봄, 여름과 가을의 강수비율이 각각 18%, 60%, 18%로 여름 집중도가 강하다. 또한 남한 전체 평균 여름 강수량 비율이 약 55%로 허창회와 강인식(1988)의 연구 결과 보다 약 5% 정도 높게 나타나 최근 강수의 여름 집중도가 심화되고 있음을 제시한다. 집중 호우 및 연강수량에 대한 집중 호우의 비율과 연강수량과의 상관계수가 각각 0.92와 0.75로 나타나 집중 호우의 발생 빈도가 연강수량에 비례해서 높아짐을 제시한다. 강수량은 해발 고도와 밀접하게 관련되어 있으며 강수량에 대한 지형의 영향은 강수량에 비례하게 증가된다.

The concentrations and wet deposition flux into the sea of heavy metals of precipitation in Pusan area were measured and estimated. The samples were collected by polyethylene bottle(30ι) from January to November in 1996, and heavy metals were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometer. The concentration order of heavy metals was Al ＞Fe ＞Zn ＞Pb ＞Mn ＞Cu ＞Ni ＞Cd ＞Co, and they were high at inland sites and low at coastal sites. The enrichment factors for some metals(Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd), based on crustal Al, were significantly greater than unity, and the order was Cd ＞ Pb ＞ Zn ＞ Cu. This evidence suggests Cd and Pb are derived predominantly from non-crustal sources. Al, Fe and Mn contents showed good correlation with each other. Therefore this enrichment factor indicates similar geochemical behavior of these elements. The annual wet depositional flux(mg/ $m^2$ /yr) from Pl site was as follows: Al(121.1). Fe,(177.2), Zn(12.9), Mn(6.19), Pb(14.4), Cu(0.64), Ni(1.03), Cd(1.02) and Co(1.01).

This study investigates the influence of atmospheric river (AR) on precipitation over South Korea with a focus on regional characteristics. The 42-year-long catalog of ARs, which is obtained by applying the automatic AR detection algorithm to ERA5 reanalysis data and the insitu precipitation data recorded at 56 weather stations across the country are used to quantify their relationship. Approximately 51% of the climatological annual precipitation is associated with AR. The AR-related precipitation is most pronounced in summer by approximately 58%, while only limited fraction of precipitation (26%) is AR-related in winter. The heavy precipitation (> 30 mm day^-1) is more prone to AR activity (59%) than weak precipitation (5~30 mm day^-1; 33%) in all seasons. By grouping weather stations into the four sub-regions based on orography, it is found that the contribution of AR precipitation to the total is largest in the southern coast (57%) and smallest in the eastern coast (36%). Similar regional variations in AR precipitation fractions also occur in weak precipitation events. The regional contrast between the northern and southern stations is related to the seasonal variation of AR-frequency. In addition, the regional contrast between the western and eastern stations is partly modulated by the orographic forcing. The fractional contribution of AR to heavy precipitation exceeds 50% in all seasons, but this is true only in summer along the eastern coast. This result indicates that ARs play a critical role in heavy precipitation in South Korea, thus routine monitoring of ARs is needed for improving operational hydrometeorological forecasting.

우리나라에서 발생하는 호우의 발생원인은 태풍과 집중호우로 구분할 수 있다. 태풍은 비정기적으로 우리나라에 영향을 끼치며 막대한 강우를 유발시키며, 집중호우는 전선형 호우와 같은 장마와 지형성 호우인 국지성 호우를 의미한다. 태풍과 집중호우는 매년 우리나라에 극한강우를 발생시킴으로써 침수 등의 재해를 유발시키고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 호우의 원인을 태풍과 집중호우로 구분하여, 집중호우로 인한 강우자료를 이용하여 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 집중호우에 대한 평가는 돌발홍수와 같은 짧은 지속시간의 호우에 대한 분석에 활용할 수 있다. 확률강우량의 산정방법은 일반적인 매개변수적 지점빈도해석과 EST를 적용하였다. EST의 적용을 위하여 해수면온도 및 습윤지수와 같은 수문기상인자와 집중호우로 인한 연최대시간강수량과의 상관성 분석을 수행하였다. 상관성 분석 결과에서 우리나라의 집중호우로 인한 강우량은 해수면온도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, EST에 의해 산정된 확률강우량은 빈도해석한 확률강우량에 비하여 경기도 등의 우리나라의 서중부 지역에서 보다 큰 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 우리나라의 서중부 지역에서는 집중호우로 인한 극한강우 발생에 대비해야 할 필요성이 있다.

In this study, we investigated the variabilities of wind speed of 850 hPa and precipitable water over the East Asia region using the NCEP Final Analysis data from December 2001 to November 2011. A large variance of wind speed was observed in northern and eastern China during the winter period. During summer, the regions of the East China Sea, the South Sea of Japan and the East Sea show large variances in the wind speed caused by an extended North Pacific High and typhoon activities. The large variances in the wind speed in the regions are shown to be correlated with the inter-annual variability of precipitable water over the inland region of windward side of the Korean Peninsula. Based on the investigation, sensitivity tests to the domain size were performed using the WRF model version 3.6 for heavy precipitation events over the Korean Peninsula for 26 and 27 July 2011. Numerical experiments of different domain sizes were set up with 5 km horizontal and 50 levels vertical resolutions for the control and the first experimental run, and 9 km horizontal for the second experimental run. We found that the major rainfalls correspond to shortwave troughs with baroclinic structure over Northeast China and extended North Pacific High. The correlation analysis between the observation and experiments for 1-h precipitation indicated that the second experiment with the largest domain had the best performance with the correlation coefficient of 0.79 due to the synoptic-scale systems such as short-wave troughs and North Pacific High.

This study evaluates the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in reproducing the present-day (1981~2005) precipitation over Far East Asia and South Korea. The WRF model is configured with 25-km horizontal resolution within the context of the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) - East Asia Phase 2. The initial and lateral boundary forcing for the WRF simulation are derived from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast Interim reanalysis. According to our results, WRF model shows a reasonable performance to reproduce the features of precipitation, such as seasonal climatology, annual and inter-annual variabilities, seasonal march of monsoon rainfall and extreme precipitation. In spite of such model's ability to simulate major features of precipitation, systematic biases are found in the downscaled simulation in some sub-regions and seasons. In particular, the WRF model systematically tends to overestimate (underestimate) precipitation over Far East Asia (South Korea), and relatively large biases are evident during the summer season. In terms of inter-annual variability, WRF shows an overall smaller (larger) standard deviation in the Far East Asia (South Korea) compared to observation. In addition, WRF overestimates the frequency and amount of weak precipitation, but underestimates those of heavy precipitation. Also, the number of wet days, the precipitation intensity above the 95 percentile, and consecutive wet days (consecutive dry days) are overestimated (underestimated) over eastern (western) part of South Korea. The results of this study can be used as reference data when providing information about projections of fine-scale climate change over East Asia.

본 연구에서는 강원도 산지지 역의 자연재해의 빈도 및 피해액의 분포 특성을 파악하고 이와 관련된 기후요소의 변화를 분석하였다. 최근 5년($2003{\sim}2007$년) 동안 강원도 산지지역에서는 총 27회의 자연재해가 발생하였으며 그 중 호우에 의한 재해가 16회로 가장 많다. 재해가 가장 빈번했던 지역은 평창군 진부면으로 총 9회 발생하였다. 강원도 산지지역에서 자연재해에 의한 피해는 그 주변지역보다 크며, 산지지역 내에서는 해발고도가 높은 지역에서 피해가 더 크다. 강원도 산지지역의 북서부 지역에는 주로 호우에 의한 피해만 있었으며, 태풍에 의한 피해는 산지의 남부 지역에 집중되었다. 강풍에 의한 피해는 대부분의 산지에서 나타나는 반면 대설에 의한 피해는 적다. 강원도 산지지역에서 강수량, 강수강도 및 호우일수는 증가하였고 2000년대에 들어서 강수강도의 증가 경향이 뚜렷하다. 반면 2000년대 이후 강설일수, 강설량 및 대설일수는 뚜렷하게 감소하고 있다. 강원도 산지지역에서는 최근 호우에 의한 재해가 가장 빈번하였고 강풍의 경우 감소하는 경향이나 호우와 함께 발생할 경우 그 피해가 크므로 호우 및 강풍에 의한 재해에 대한 대비가 중요하다.
