기후노출, 민감도, 적응능력의 3가지 항목의 함수로 정의되는 취약성-탄력성 지수인 VRI(Vulnerability-Resilience Index)를 이용하여 기후변화로 더 심각해 질 것으로 예상되는 극한 기상 현상인 태풍을 대상으로 기후변화 취약성 지수 정량화 연구를 수행하였다. 기존 취약성 지수인 VRI는 기후변화 취약성에 대한 지자체별 상대적 차이만을 보여 주므로 그 정량화 연구는 매우 필수불가결하며 우리나라 기후변화 대응 정책에도 매우 중요하다. VRI의 정량화를 위하여 과거 20년간 태풍으로 인한 피해액, 발생횟수, 주요 피해지역 등의 통계 정보가 사용되었고, 기후노출 대용변수들에 가중치를 부여하기 이전과 이후의 계산되는 VRI를 각각 지자체별로 분석하였다. VRI의 정량화를 위하여 각 기후노출 대용변수를 하나씩 이용하여 계산한 다음 계산된 VRI를 태풍 피해액과의 상관계수(R)를 구하였고, 이 값에 비례하여 각 기후노출 대용변수들의 가중치를 결정하였다. 그 결과 가중치 없이 계산한 지역별 VRI는 상당 지역에서 피해액과의 상관성이 없는 등 상당한 차이를 보였으나 가중치를 부여한 결과 계산된 VRI는 지역별 피해액과 높은 상관관계를 보이는 등 많은 오류가 크게 줄었다. 이 결과를 토대로 VRI를 정량화하여 그 피해액을 추정해본 결과 VRI=1 일 경우 약 5백억원의 지자체 피해액을 유발하는 것으로 해석할 수 있었다. 이러한 기후변화 취약성 지수의 정량화 연구는 우리나라 미래기후 시나리오연구에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

수자원 관리 및 평가를 위하여 수자원, 환경 및 경제 자료들을 지표화 하여 이를 평가하는 연구가 활발히 진행중에 있다. 이는 수자원 관리를 위한 여러 가지 조건들을 통합하여 하나의 지표로 만들어 평가함으로써 객관적인 값을 도출할 수 있게된다. 또한 최근에는 기후변화가 심해짐에 따라 미래 수자원관리에 대한 중요성이 배가 되어가고 있는 실정이다. 기후변화는 지구상의 모든 물리적 및 생물학적 변동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 오늘날 인정되고 있으며(Sullivan and Huntingford, 2009), 현재 기후변화를 고려한 통합수자원관리지표의 개발도 국외에서는 활발히 진행중에 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 물 부문 정책, 투자 및 적용에 대한 우선순위를 결정하는데 도움이 되며 국외에서 개발된 CVI(Climate Vulnerability Index, 기후취약성지수)에 대하여 분석을 실시하였다.

Climate change indicators, mainly frequent drought which has happened since the drought of 1994, 1995, and 2012 causing the devastating effect to the agricultural sector, and could be more disruptive given the context of climate change indicators by increasing the temperature and more variable and extreme precipitation. Changes in frequency, duration, and severity of droughts will have enormous impacts on agriculture production and water management. Since both the possibility of drought manifestation and substantial yield losses, we are propositioning an integrated method for evaluating past and future agriculture drought hazards that depend on models' simulations in the Hung-up watershed. to discuss the question of how climate change might influence the impact of extreme agriculture drought by assessing the potential changes in temporal trends of agriculture drought. we will calculate the temporal trends of future drought through drought indices Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, Standardized Precipitation Index, and Palmer drought severity index by using observed data of (1991-2020) from Wonju meteorological station and projected climate change scenarios (2021-2100) of the Representative Concentration Pathways models (RCPs). expected results confirmed the frequency of extreme agricultural drought in the future projected to increase under all studied RCPs. at present 100 years drought is anticipated to happen since the result showing under RCP2.6 will occur every 24 years, RCP4.5 every 17 years, and RCPs8.5 every 7 years, and it would be double in the largest warming scenarios. On another side, the result shows unsupportable water management, could cause devastating consequences in both food production and water supply in extreme events. Because significant increases in the drought magnitude and severity like to be initiate at different time scales for each drought indicator. Based on the expected result that the evaluating the impacts of extreme agricultural droughts and recession could be used for the development of proactive drought risk management, policies for future water balance, prioritize sustainable strengthening and mitigation strategies.

The monthly mean air temperature datasets of 61 stations in South Korea from 1973 to 2012 were collected to calculate trends in the warmth index (WI) and to analyze the potential enlargement of safety cultivation limit for sweet persimmon. The WI averaged over the last 40 years was 104.1 (℃·Month) at 61 stations, with the highest at Seogwipo station (WI=137.9) and the lowest at Daegwallyeong station (WI=60.9). It has increased by 1.8 (℃·Month) per 10 years over the last 40 years, with the highest in the year 1994 (WI=112.0) and the lowest in the year 1976 (WI=94.7). When the possible stations for sweet persimmon cultivation were classified by the basis on WI≥100, 38 out of the 61 weather stations were included in the safety cultivation zone for sweet persimmon for the last 40 years. On the other hand, the number of weather stations within the safety cultivation zones for sweet persimmon for the last 10 years (from 2003 to 2012) were 47 by adding additional 9 stations (Socho, Wonju, Chungju, Seosan, Uljin, Yangpyeong, Icheon, Cheonan, and Geochang stations). A further study of the climate conditions and soil characteristics is required for a better assessment of the safety cultivation zones for sweet persimmon.

As the resolution of climate change scenario data applied with regional models increased, Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) was established around major climate-related organizations to jointly operated and manage large-scale climate data. ESGF developed standard software to provide model output, observation data management, dissemination, and analysis using Peer to Peer (P2P) computing technology. Roles of each institution were divided into index and data nodes. Therefore, ESGF data node was established at APEC Climate Center in Korea on behalf of Asia to share data on climate change scenarios of CORDEX-East Asia (CORDEX-EA) to study climate changes in Eastern Asia. Climate researchers are expected to play a large role in researching causes of global warming and responding to climate change by providing CORDEX-EA regional model data to the world through ESGF data node.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate climate change vulnerability over the agricultural infrastructure in terms of flood and drought using principal component analysis. Vulnerability was assessed using vulnerability resilience index (VRI) which combines climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Ten flood proxy variables and six drought proxy variables for the vulnerability assessment were selected by opinions of researchers and experts. The statistical data on 16 proxy variables for the local governments (Si, Do) were collected. To identify major variables and to explain the trend in whole data set, principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted. The result of PCA showed that the first 3 principal components explained approximately 83 % and 89 % of the total variance for the flood and drought, respectively. VRI assessment for the local governments based on the PCA results indicated that provinces where having the relatively large cultivation areas were categorized as vulnerable to climate change.

We analyze the changes of the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) over Korea to assess the regional climate change associated with global warming. For the regional-scale analysis, we used the MM5 simulation in 27 km horizontal resolution for the period of 1971-2100, which is driven by ECHAM4/HOPE-G under the greenhouse gas omission scenario. The downscaled climate variables capture improved regional features consistent with the observation. Based on the simulation, we investigated the temporal and spatial distributions of PDSI over Korea. The area-averaged PDSI is expected to decrease in global warming. Considering the horizontal distribution of climate change, the negative peak values of PDSI anomalies appear in the southern part of Korea.

To find any effects of precipitation climate on the forecast verification methods, we processed the hourly records of precipitation over South Korea. We examined their relationship between the climate and the methods of verification. Precipitation is an intermittent process in South Korea, generally less than an hour or so. Percentile ratio of precipitation period against the entire period of the records is only 14% in the hourly amounts of precipitation. The value of the forecast verification indices heavily depends on the climate of rainfall. The direct comparison of the index values might force us to have a mistaken appraisal on the level of the forecast capability of a weather forecast center. The size of the samples for verification is not crucial as long as it is large enough to satisfy statistical stability. Our conclusion is still temporal rather than conclusive. We may need the amount of precipitation per minute for the confirmation of the present results.

Many studies have related the recent variations of wildfire regime such as the increasing number of occurrances, their patterns and timing changes, and the severity of their extreme cases with global warming. However, there are only a few numbers of wildfire studies to assess how the future wildfire regime will change in the interactions between land and atmosphere with climate change especially over East Asia. This study was performed to estimate the future changing aspect of wildfire danger with global warming, using Haines Index (HI). Calculated from atmospheric instability and dryness, HI is the potential of an existing fire to become a dangerous wildfire. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, two separated 5-year simulations of current (1995~1999) and far future (2095~2099) were performed and analyzed. Community Climate System Model 3 (CCSM3) model outputs were utilized for the model inputs for the past and future over East Asia; future prediction was driven under the IPCC A1B scenario. The results indicate changes of the wildfire danger regime, showing overall decreasing the wildfire danger in the future but intensified regional deviations between north and south. The overall changes of the wildfire regime seems to stem from atmospheric dryness which is sensitive to soil moisture variation. In some locations, the future wildfire danger overall decreases in summer but increases in winter or fall when the actual fire occurrence are generally peaked especially in South China.
