High resolution rainfall data at 1-hour or a finer scale are essential for reliable flood analysis and forecasting; nevertheless, many observations, forecasts, and climate projections are still given at coarse temporal resolutions. This study aims to evaluate a chaotic method for disaggregation of 6-hour rainfall data sets so as to apply operational 6-hour rainfall forecasts of the Korean Meteorological Association to flood models. We computed parameters of a state-of-the-art multiplicative random cascade model with two combinations of cascades, namely uniform splitting and diversion, using rainfall observations at Seoul station, and compared statistical performance. We additionally disaggregated 6-hour rainfall time series at 58 stations with the uniform splitting and evaluated temporal transferability of the parameters and changes in multifractal properties. Results showed that the uniform splitting outperformed the diversion in reproduction of observed statistics, and hence is better to be used for disaggregation of 6-hour rainfall forecasts. We also found that multifractal properties of rainfall observations has adequate temporal consistency with an indication of gradually increasing rainfall intensity across South Korea.

최근 기후변화로 인한 이상호우의 발생으로 도시유역에서의 홍수피해가 급증하고 있으며 이로 인해 도시유역에서의 설계홍수량 산정이 매우 중요시 되고 있다. 지금까지는 도시유역에서의 설계홍수량을 산정하기 위해 I-D-F 곡선을 이용하고 있으나 현실적으로 시간단위 이하의 관측강우량 자료의 부족으로 인해 신뢰성 있는 시간단위 이하의 설계강우량 산정에 많은 불확실성을 지니고 있다. 도시유역의 경우에는 자연유역에 비해 강우발생시 일반적으로 도달시간이 한 시간 이하이기 때문에 극한 강우사상 즉, 단시간에 집중적으로 많은 양의 강우가 발생 할 경우 시간단위 이하의 강우강도를 이용한 유출해석이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 추계학적 강우발생기법을 통해 시간단위 강우시계열자료를 확충한 후 분해기법을 통해 시간단위이하강우를 생성하였다. 이를 위해 Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse 모형과 Cascade 분해 기법을 이용하여 5분단위 강우량자료를 모의발생 하였다. 또한 모의치와 관측치를 재현기간별로 비교, 분석하여 그 차이를 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to assess the flood probability based on temporal distribution of forecasted-rainfall in Cheongmicheon watershed. In this study, 6-hr rainfalls were disaggregated into hourly rainfall using the Multiplicative Random Cascade (MRC) model, which is a stochastic rainfall time disaggregation model and it was repeated 100 times to make 100 rainfalls for each storm event. The watershed runoff was estimated using the Clark unit hydrograph method with disaggregated rainfall and watershed characteristics. Using the peak discharges of the simulated hydrographs, the probability distribution was determined and parameters were estimated. Using the parameters, the probability density function is shown and the flood probability is calculated by comparing with the design flood of Cheongmicheon watershed. The flood probability results differed for various values of rainfall and rainfall duration. In addition, the flood probability calculated in this study was compared with the actual flood damage in Cheongmicheon watershed (R² = 0.7). Further, this study results could be used for flood forecasting.
