This study analyzed the influence of climate change on the spawning ground area of the common squid, Todarodes pacificus. To estimate long term changes in the area of the spawning ground of the common squid, water temperature at 50 m deep that can be inferred from sea surface temperature (SST) based on both NOAA/AVHRR (1981.07-2002.12) and MODIS/AQUA (2003.01-2009.12) ocean color data was analyzed. In addition, five climate indices, Arctic Oscillation Index (AO), Siberian High Index (SH), Aleutian Low Pressure Index (ALP), East Asia Winter Monsoon Index (EAWM) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) which are the main indicators of climate changes in the northwestern Pacific were used to study the relationship between the magnitude of the estimated spawning ground and climate indices. The area of the estimated spawning ground was highly correlated with the total catch of common squid throughout four decades. The area of the estimated spawning ground was negatively correlated with SH and EAWM. Especially, PDO was negatively correlated with the area of the spawning ground in the northwestern Pacific (r = -0.39) and in the southern part of the East Sea (r = -0.38). There was a positive relationship between the AO and the area of the spawning ground in the northwestern Pacific (r = 0.46) as well as in the southern part of the East Sea (r = 0.32). Temporally, the area of the winter spawning ground in the southern part of the East Sea in the 1980s was smaller than those areas in the 1990s and 2000s, because the area was disconnected with the western coastal spawning ground of Japan in the 1980s, while the area had been made wider and more continuous from the Korea strait to the western coastal water of Honshu in the 1990s and 2000s.

In this study, the regional climate model, RegCM4.0 (25 km), with the HadGEM2-AO data as boundary conditions, was used to simulate the mean climate changes in the mid and late 21st century for CORDEX Phase 2 East Asian region. 122 years (1979~2100) of simulation were performed, and RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 were used for the simulation of future climate. In the mid-21st century, the temperature is expected to increase by about 0.5 to $3.0^{\circ}C$ in all regions of East Asia, regardless of season and scenario. The increase in temperature is greater in summer and winter, especially in the northern part of simulation domain. Interannual variability (IAV) is expected to decrease by 25% in summer for RCP 8.5, while it is expected to increase by more than 30% in autumn for both scenarios. Regardless of the scenario, the precipitation in South Korea is expected to increase in late June but decrease in mid-July, with an increase in precipitation greater than $100mm\;day^{-1}$. In RCP 4.5 of the late 21st century, relatively uniform temperature increase ($1.0{\sim}2.5^{\circ}C$) is expected throughout the continent, while RCP 8.5 shows a very diverse increase ($3.0{\sim}6.0^{\circ}C$) depending on season and geographical location. In addition, the IAV of temperature is expected to decrease by more than 35% in both scenarios in the summer. In most of the Northwest Pacific region, precipitation is expected to decrease in all seasons except for the summer, but in South Korea, it is projected to increase by about 10% in all seasons except autumn.

최근 기후변화 현실화로 강우 발생 시기와 패턴이 변화하면서 유역에 따라 유황이 변화하고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인한 하천 유황의 장기적 변화는 수중생태계의 구조와 기능에 커다란 변화를 야기한다. 하지만 국내에서는 기후변화와의 연계성은 물론, 유량변화와 생태학적 특성을 포함한 수생태계 관점에서의 분석은 대부분 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화로 인한 현재-미래의 유황 변화가 만경강 하도와 홍수터 영역에서 감돌고기의 서식환경에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 현재보다 미래에 홍수와 가뭄 등 극한 수문 조건이 심화됨을 확인하였고, 특히 크기, 빈도, 지속시간, 시기와 변화율 등을 비교 분석함으로써 유황 특성의 변화를 명확히 파악하였다. 그리고 유황 특성과 물리서식처 해석을 연계함으로써 기후변화로 인해 미래 생태환경 변동에 대한 위험성이 크게 증대될 것이라는 결과 제시가 가능하였다.

The estuary reservoir is a major source of agricultural water in Korea; for effective and sustainable water resource management of the estuary reservoir, it is crucial to comprehensively consider various water resource factors, including water supply, flood, and pollutant management, and analyze future runoff changes in consideration of environmental changes such as climate change. The objective of this study is to estimate the impact of future climate change on the runoff characteristics of an estuary reservoir watershed. Climate data on future Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios were derived from two Global Climate Models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6). The Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) was used to simulate past and future long-term runoff of the Ganwol estuary reservoir watershed. The findings showed that as the impact of climate change intensified, the average annual runoff in the future period was higher in the order of SSP5, SSP3, SSP1, and SSP2, and the ratio of runoff in July decreased while the ratio of runoff in October increased. Moreover, in terms of river flow regime, the SSP2 scenario was found to be the most advantageous and the SSP3 scenario was the most disadvantageous. The findings of this study can be used as basic data for developing sustainable water resource management plans and can be applied to estuary reservoir models to predict future environmental changes in estuary reservoirs.

본 연구는 기후변화가 국가의 총요소생산성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 구체적으로 대표적 기후변수인 기온와 강수량이 국가의 총요소생산성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기존 연구와는 달리 본 연구는 최근 기후변화의 패턴인 기후 변동성이 높아지는 현상을 고려하기 위해 기후변수들의 평균값뿐만 아니라 최고값을 고려하여 분석하였다. 선형회귀분석 결과 평균기온의 상승은 생산성에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 강수량의 평균적 증가는 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만 최대 강수량은 평균 강수량과는 달리 총요소생산성을 증가시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 연구와 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 패널자료를 분석한 결과 평균기온 이외에 다른 기후변수들(평균 강수량, 최대기온, 최대 강수량)은 유의미하게 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 평균기온의 상승은 총요소생산성을 증가시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 본 연구가 장기시계열 자료를 이용하여 국가들의 기후변화 적응능력에 의해 영향을 받은 것으로 분석된다.

In this paper, future climate changes over East Asia($20^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}N$, $100^{\circ}{\sim}150^{\circ}E$) are projected by anthropogenic forcing of greenhouse gases and aerosols using coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) simulations based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) B1, A1B and A2 scenarios. Before projection future climate, model performance is assessed by the $20^{th}$ Century (20C3M) experiment with bias, root Mean Square Error (RMSE), ratio of standard deviation, Taylor diagram analysis. The result of examination of the seasonal uncertainty of T2m and PCP shows that cold bias, lowered than that of observation, of T2m and wet bias, larger than that of observation, of PCP are found over East Asia. The largest wet bias is found in winter and the largest cold bias is found in summer. The RMSE of temperature in the annual mean increases and this trend happens in winter, too. That is, higher resolution model shows generally better performances in simulation T2m and PCP. Based on IPCC SRES scenarios, East Asia will experience warmer and wetter climate in the coming $21^{st}$ century. It is predict the T2m increase in East Asia is larger than global mean temperature. As the latitude goes high, the warming over the continents of East Asia showed much more increase than that over the ocean. An enhanced land-sea contrast is proposed as a possible mechanism of the intensified Asian summer monsoon. But, the inter-model variability in PCP changes is large.

최근 급격한 온실가스 증가에 기인하여 대기와 해양 그리고 빙권의 변화가 나타나고 또한 기온과 수분의 함량 변화에 따라서 지표 환경도 서서히 변하기 시작하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 지표환경의 반응은 생지화학적 반응과 생물리학적 반응으로 구분 할 수 있는데, 생지화학적 반응은 기후변화에 따른 광합성이나 이와 유사한 지표환경의 변화 그리고 이에 따른 화학적인 피드백을 지칭하며 이는 대기의 온실가스 농도를 변화 시키는 역할을 한다. 생물리학적 반응은 기후변화에 따라 식생의 분포가 변하게 되고 이에 따른 태양에너지의 입사율 변화 등과 같은 물리적 반응을 나타낸다. 과거 기후변화역사에도 식생의 변화가 기후변화에 미치는 영향이 매우 컸던 경우가 있었고, 앞으로의 기후변화는 거대하고 급격하게 일어날 것으로 예측되기 때문에, 미래 기후변화의 정확한 예측을 위해서는 지표환경변화의 물리 화학적 변화를 이해하고 예측 모형에 정확히 포함시킬 필요가 있다.

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.

Background: Climate change is occurring rapidly around the world, and is predicted to have a large impact on biodiversity. Various studies have shown that climate change can alter the geographical distribution of wild bees. As climate change affects the species distribution and causes range shift, the degree of range shift and the quality of the habitats are becoming more important for securing the species diversity. In addition, those pollinator insects are contributing not only to shaping the natural ecosystem but also to increased crop production. The distributional and habitat quality changes of wild bees are of utmost importance in the climate change era. This study aims to investigate the impact of climate change on distributional and habitat quality changes of five wild bees in northwestern regions of Iran under two representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). We used species distribution models to predict the potential range shift of these species in the year 2070. Result: The effects of climate change on different species are different, and the increase in temperature mainly expands the distribution ranges of wild bees, except for one species that is estimated to have a reduced potential range. Therefore, the increase in temperature would force wild bees to shift to higher latitudes. There was also significant uncertainty in the use of different models and the number of environmental layers employed in the modeling of habitat suitability. Conclusion: The increase in temperature caused the expansion of species distribution and wider areas would be available to the studied species in the future. However, not all of this possible range may include high-quality habitats, and wild bees may limit their niche to suitable habitats. On the other hand, the movement of species to higher latitudes will cause a mismatch between farms and suitable areas for wild bees, and as a result, farmers will face a shortage of pollination from wild bees. We suggest that farmers in these areas be aware of the effects of climate change on agricultural production and consider the use of managed bees in the future.
