The western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) in boreal summer has interannual and interdecadal variability, which affects East Asian summer monsoon variability. In particular, it is well known that the intensity of WNPSH is reversely related to that of summer monsoon in North East Asia in association with Pacific Japan (PJ)-like pattern. Many coupled climate models weakly simulate this large-scale teleconnection pattern and also exhibit the diverse variability of WNPSH. This study discusses the inter-model differences of WNPSH simulated by different climate models, which participate in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). In comparing with reanalysis observation, the 29 CMIP5 models could be assorted into two difference groups in terms of interannual variability of WNPSH. This study also discusses the dynamical or thermodynamics factors for the differences of two groups of the CMIP5 climate models. As results, the regressed precipitation in well-simulating group onto the Nino3.4 index ($5^{\circ}N-5^{\circ}S$, $170^{\circ}W-120^{\circ}W$) is stronger than that in poorly-simulating group. We suggest that this difference of two groups of the CMIP5 climate models would have an effect on simulating the interannual variability of WNPSH.

Future changes in seasonal mean temperature and precipitation over East Asia under anthropogenic global warming are investigated by comparing the historical run for 1979~2005 and the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 run for 2006~2100 with 20 coupled models which participated in the phase five of Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP5). Although an increase in future temperature over the East Asian monsoon region has been commonly accepted, the prediction of future precipitation under global warming still has considerable uncertainties with a large inter-model spread. Thus, we select best five models, based on the evaluation of models' performance in present climate for boreal summer and winter seasons, to reduce uncertainties in future projection. Overall, the CMIP5 models better simulate climatological temperature and precipitation over East Asia than the phase 3 of CMIP and the five best models' multi-model ensemble (B5MME) has better performance than all 20 models' multi-model ensemble (MME). Under anthropogenic global warming, significant increases are expected in both temperature and land-ocean thermal contrast over the entire East Asia region during both seasons for near and long term future. The contrast of future precipitation in winter between land and ocean will decrease over East Asia whereas that in summer particularly over the Korean Peninsula, associated with the Changma, will increase. Taking into account model validation and uncertainty estimation, this study has made an effort on providing a more reliable range of future change for temperature and precipitation particularly over the Korean Peninsula than previous studies.

This study performed prediction of extreme rainfall uncertainty and its frequency analysis based on climate change scenarios by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) for the selected nine-General Circulation Models (GCMs) in the near future (2011-2040) over the Korean Peninsula (KP). We analysed uncertainty of scenarios by multiple model ensemble (MME) technique using non-parametric quantile mapping method and bias correction method in the basin scale of the KP. During the near future, the extreme rainfall shows a significant gradually increasing tendency with the annual variability and uncertainty of extreme ainfall in the RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios. In addition to the probability rainfall frequency (such as 50 and 100-year return periods) has increased by 4.2% to 10.9% during the near future in 2040. Therefore, in the longer-term water resources master plan, based on the various climate change scenarios (such as CMIP5 GCMs) and its uncertainty can be considered for utilizing of the support tool for decision-makers in water-related disasters management.

This study evaluates CMIP5 model performance on rainy season evolution in the East Asian summer monsoon. Historical (1986~2005) simulation is analyzed using ensemble mean of CMIP5 19 models. Simulated rainfall amount is underestimated than the observed and onset and termination of rainy season are earlier in the simulation. Compared with evolution timing, duration of the rainy season is uncertain with large model spread. This area-averaged analysis results mix relative differences among the models. All model show similarity in the underestimated rainfall, but there are quite large difference in dynamic and thermodynamic processes. The model difference is shown in horizontal distribution analysis. BEST and WORST group is selected based on skill score. BEST shows better performance in northward movement of the rain band, summer monsoon domain. Especially, meridional gradient of equivalent potential temperature and low-level circulation for evolving frontal system is quite well captured in BEST. According to RCP8.5, CMIP5 projects earlier onset, delayed termination and longer duration of the rainy season with increasing rainfall amount at the end of 21st century. BEST and WORST shows similar projection for the rainy season evolution timing, meanwhile there are large discrepancy in thermodynamic structure. BEST and WORST in future projection are different in moisture flux, vertical structure of equivalent potential temperature and the subsequent unstable changes in the conditional instability.

자연재해대책법 제 16조 6에 따라 기후변화로 인한 방재성능목표의 영향을 고려하기 위해 방재성능가이드라인을 설정하여 운영하고 있다. 2017년 공표된 기후변화를 고려한 방재성능목표 강우량의 단기 할증률은 CMIP5 자료를 기반으로 기본 5%, 관심 8%, 주의 10%의 할증률로 구분되어 적용되고 있다. 그러나, 미래 기후변화 시나리오에 따르면 확률강우량이 늘어나는 지역도 있지만, 감소될 것으로 예상되는 지역도 존재한다. 따라서, 모든 지역을 3개의 구간으로 나누어 증가 할증률을 적용하는 것에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 CMIP6 기후변화 자료를 시단위로 다운스케일링한 시계열을 이용하여 미래 기후변화로 인한 방재성능목표의 할증률을 산정하고, 각 할증률에 기반한 구간을 상세화하고자 한다. 구체적으로, 현재 기상청에서 제공하는 일단위 기후변화 데이터베이스와, CMIP6에서 제공하는 일단위 기후변화 자료를 구축하고, 분석하였다. 이후 구축된 일단위 자료를 시단위 자료로 Downscaling한 후, 각 이산화탄소 배출 시나리오인 SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5에 대해 앙상블 시계열을 생성하고, 다양한 기후변화의 불확실성을 적절하게 정량화 할 예정이다. 그중에서 방재성능목표와 가장 밀접하다고 생각되는 변수들(연강우량, 8월강우량, 연최대강우량, 30년빈도 확률강우량 등)을 CCF(Cross Correlation Function), ACC(Auto Correlation Function)방법 등을 통해 분석하여 최적의 변수들을 찾고, 그 값들의 앙상블 평균을 통해 안정된 방재성능목표 기후변화 할증률 값을 산정할 예정이다. 169개 지역의 시·군 단위의 티센망과, 238개 지역의 시·군·구 단위의 티센망을 구축하고, 기상청 ASOS(Automated Synoptic Observing System)의 69개 기상관측소 강우관측자료와 AWS(Automatic Weather System)의 419개 기상관측소를 활용하여 지역별 미래 기후변화를 고려한 비선형적 할증률를 제시할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 CMIP5(The fifth phase of the Couple Model Intercomparison Project) 미래기후시나리오와 LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory) 모형 기반의 딥러닝 기법을 이용하여 하천유량 예측을 위한 최적 학습 기간을 제시하였다. 연구지역으로는 진안군(성산리) 지점을 선정하였다. 보정(2000~2002/2014~2015) 및 검증(2003~2005/2016~2017) 기간을 설정하여 연구지역의 실측 유량 자료와 LSTM 기반 모의유량을 비교한 결과, 전체적으로 모의값이 실측값을 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, LSTM 모형의 장기간 예측 성능을 평가하기 위하여 LSTM 모형 기반 유량을 보정(2000~2015) 및 검증(2016~2019) 기간의 SWAT 기반 유량에 비교하였다. 비록 모의결과에일부 오차가 발생하였으나, LSTM 모형이 장기간의 하천유량을 잘 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. 검증 결과를 기반으로 2011년~2100년의 CMIP5 미래기후시나리오 기상자료를 이용하여 SWAT 기반 유량을 모의하였으며, 모의한 하천유량을 LSTM 모형의 학습자료로 사용하였다. 다양한 학습 시나리오을 적용하여 LSTM 및 SWAT 모형 기반의 하천유량을 모의하였으며, 최적 학습 기간을 제시하기 위하여 학습 시나리오별 LSTM/SWAT 기반 하천유량의 상관성 및 불확실성을 비교하였다. 비교 결과 학습 기간이 최소 30년 이상일때, 실측유량과 비교하여 LSTM 모형 기반 하천유량의 불확실성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 CMIP5 미래기후시나리오와 딥러닝 기반 LSTM 모형을 연계하여 미래 장기간의 일별 유량을 모의할 경우, 신뢰성 있는 LSTM 모형 기반 하천유량을 모의하기 위해서는 최소 30년 이상의 학습 기간이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study introduces the overall characteristics of LOVECLIM version 1.3, the earth system model of intermediate complexity (EMIC), including the installation and operation processes by conducting two kinds of past climate simulation. First climate simulation is the equilibrium experiment during the mid-Holocene (6,000 BP), when orbital parameters were different compared to those at present. The overall accuracy of simulated global atmospheric fields by LOVECLIM is relatively lower than that in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) and Paleoclimate modelling Intercomparison Project phase 3 (PMIP3) simulations. However, surface temperature over the globe, the 800 hPa meridional wind over the mid-latitude coastal region, and the 200 hPa zonal wind from LOVECLIM show similar spatial distribution to those multi-model mean of CMIP5/PMIP3 climate models. Second one is the transient climate experiment from mid-Holocene to present. LOVECLIM well captures the major differences in surface temperature between preindustrial and mid-Holocene simulations by CMIP5/PMIP3 multi-model mean, even though it was performed with short integration time (i.e., about four days in a single CPU environment). In this way, although the earth system model of intermediate complexity has a limit due to its relatively low accuracy, it can be a very useful tool in the specific research area such as paleoclimate.

We analyzed the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) that was simulated in 25 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) using historical and Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5) scenario experiments of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), focusing on the evaluation of the performance of HadGEM2-AO. A large inter-model diversity in salinity, density, and depth of the NPIW exists even though the multi-model ensemble mean (MME) is comparable to observations. It was found that the depth of the NPIW tends to be deeper in the models in which the NPIW is relatively saltier. HadGEM2-AO simulates the lightest NPIW having the lowest salinity at shallower depth, compared with other CGCMs. Future projections of the NPIW show that the temperature of the NPIW increases, but the density decreases in all CMIP5 models. It was shown that the salinity of the NPIW decreases in most models and the decrease tends to be larger in models simulating the lighter NPIW. The HadGEM2-AO projects moderate changes in the temperature and density of the NPIW out of the CMIP5 models.
