The purposes of this study are to perform the management and monitoring of droughts for Mokpo area via the monthly Palmer index(PDSI), the data is obtained from the Mokpo meteorological station, and the used data are in the period of 1906 to 1999. Monthly Palmer index is classified into 7 stochastic classes and its dynamic change of monthly transition probability estimated by Markov chain is investigated. We also estimate the steady state probability of the classified PDSI. The 4th class shows the highest frequency of 49.6% out of 7 classes and the 7th class which is the most extreme drought show that a stochastic transition probability is more or less larger than an empirical one. Also, we found that the monthly steady state probability could be used for the forecasting of changing pattern of drought magnitude for the study area.

최근 전 세계적으로 가뭄 재해가 증가함에 따라 국내의 경우 가뭄상황을 모니터링하기 위하여 다양한 유관 기간에서 가뭄정보시스템을 활용하여 가뭄지수를 공간지도 형태로 제공하고 있다. 기상청 수자원공사 농어촌공사 등에서 기상/수문/농업관련 가뭄지수의 위험지도를 실시간으로 제공하고 있으며 각 지표별로 수문기상학적 특징과 용수공급시설 및 수요공급의 이수상황 등을 고려하여 활용하고 있다. 하지만 제공되고 있는 가뭄지수의 공간분포는 지점 자료를 기반으로 내삽기법 (interpolation)을 통해 재 산정된 지도로 공간 해상도 측면에서 조악한 해상도를 갖고 있다. 이와 같은 한계점을 보완하기 위하여 시 공간적으로 특성이 동일한 광범위한 지역에 대한 정보를 주기적으로 제공 가능하다는 측면에서 위성영상자료를 활용한 가뭄모니터링 연구의 필요성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 위성영상을 이용한 식생 정보 및 기후 정보 생물물리학적 정보를 활용한 식생가뭄반응지수 (Vegetation Drought Response Index in Korea VegDRI-Korea)를 제시하고 국내의 적용성 검증을 위하여 국내 주요 가뭄 사상을 대상으로 시공간적 가뭄상황을 분석하였다. 식생가뭄반응지수는 유역단위 또는 행정구역 단위별로 실시간 가뭄 상황을 분석할 수 있는 고해상도 위성영상 기반의 가뭄지수로써 향후 한반도 전역의 가뭄모니터링 및 주기적인 모니터링을 통해 가뭄예상지역 판단에 대한 의사결정지원에 활용할 수 있다.

전 세계적으로 기후변화 및 산업화로 인해 대규모 홍수, 가뭄, 폭염, 산불 등의 재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 재해 및 재난을 조기에 발견하고 최소화를 위한 대응 체계 및 관리방안의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 자연재해들의 특징은 추가 재해를 유발할 수 있다는 것으로 재해의 강도가 증가할 뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 재난 및 재해를 동시에 유발하는 형태로 변화하기 때문에, 단일자연재해 평가 기술을 바탕으로 복합자연재해에 대한 분석 및 감지가 진행되어야 한다. 최근 기후변화로 인한 기상 패턴의 변화 및 가뭄 발생빈도의 증가가 뚜렷하며, 국외에서는 폭염과 가뭄을 고려한 복합자연재해로 'Flash Drought'로 정의된 돌발가뭄에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 폭염과 가뭄은 단순 강우 부족으로 인한 가뭄, 높은 기온으로 인한 폭염 등이 서로 독립적으로 발생하는 경우와 강우부족과 폭염의 지속으로 인한 상호연관성이 존재하는 복합자연재해 등으로 구분할 수 있다. 돌발가뭄은 강수 부족 또는 폭염이 지속되거나 강도가 높아질 경우, 지면온도가 상승하여 토양수분이 필요 이상으로 증발하여 단기간에 발생하는 초단기 가뭄으로 복합자연재해에 해당하며, 이러한 돌발가뭄은 농업분야에서 작물 생장 및 영농기 활동에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 모니터링 및 감지 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수문기상학적 요소를 활용하여 폭염 및 가뭄을 고려한 복합자연재해에 대한 상관분석을 수행하였다. 기상청에서 제공하는 기상자료(일최고기온/평균기온/최저기온, 강수량, 상대습도, 일조량 등)에 대한 전국 76개소 대상 기상자료를 구축하였으며, Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 등과 같은 위성영상 자료를 구축하여 폭염과 가뭄에 대한 각각의 인자를 선정하고 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 복합자연재해 감지 및 예측 기술 개발에 활용하여 재해 예방 및 대응에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

An extreme climate monitoring is essential to the reduction of socioeconomic damages from extreme events. The objective of this study was to produce the near-realtime weekly root-zone Soil Moisture Index (SMI) on the basis of soil moisture using the Noah 3.3 Land Surface Model (LSM) for potentially monitoring extreme drought events. The Yangtze basin was selected to evaluate the Noah LSM performance for the East Asia region (15-60°N, 70-150°E) and the evapotranspiration (ET) and sensible heat flux (SH) were compared with ET and SH from FluxNet and with ET from FluxCom, Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM), ERA-5, and Generalized Complementary Relationship (GCR). For the ET, the coefficients of determination (R²) were higher than 0.96, while the R² value for the SH was 0.71 with slightly lower than those. A time series of the weekly root-zone SMI revealed that the regions with Extreme drought had been expanded from the northern part of East China to the entire East China between July to October 2019. The trend analysis of the number of extreme drought events showed that extreme drought events in spring had reduced in South Korea over the past 20 years, while those in fall had a tendency to increase. It is concluded that this study can be useful to reduce the socioeconomic damages resulted from climate extremes by comprehensively characterizing extreme drought events.

A primary objective of this study is to develop a drought forecasting technique based on groundwater which can be exploit for water supply under drought stress. For this purpose, we explored the lagged relationships between regionalized SGI (standardized groundwater level index) and SPI (standardized precipitation index) in view of the drought propagation. A regional prediction model was constructed using a NARX (nonlinear autoregressive exogenous) artificial neural network model which can effectively capture nonlinear relationships with the lagged independent variable. During the training phase, model performance in terms of correlation coefficient was found to be satisfactory with the correlation coefficient over 0.7. Moreover, the model performance was described by root mean squared error (RMSE). It can be concluded that the proposed approach is able to provide a reliable SGI forecasts along with rainfall forecasts provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration.

Droughts have been an important factor in disaster management in Korea because she has been grouped into nations of lack of water. Satellite imagery can be applied to droughts monitoring because it can afford periodic data for large area for long time. This study aims to develop a method to analyze droughts in large area using satellite imagery. We estimated evapotranspiration in large area using NDVI data acquired from satellite imagery. For satellite imagery, we dealt with MODIS data operated by NASA. As the result of this study, we improved the usability of satellite imagery, especially in drought analysis.

The conversion of an invisible thermal radiation pattern of an object into a visible image using infrared (IR) thermal technology is very useful to understand phenomena what we are interested in. Although IR thermal images were originally developed for military and space applications, they are currently employed to determine thermal properties and heat features in various applications, such as the non-destructive evaluation of industrial equipment, power plants, electricity, military or drive-assisted night vision, and medical applications to monitor heat generation or loss. Recently, IR imaging-based monitoring systems have been considered for application in agricultural, including crop care, plant-disease detection, bruise detection of fruits, and the evaluation of fruit maturity. This paper reviews recent progress in the development of IR thermal imaging techniques and suggests possible applications of thermal imaging techniques in agriculture.

The real-time monitoring of surface vegetation is essential for the management of droughts, vegetation growth, and water resources. The availability of land cover maps based on remotely collected data makes the monitoring of surface vegetation easier. The vegetation index in an area is likely to be proportional to meteorological elements there such as air temperature and precipitation. This study investigated relationship between vegetation index based on Moderate Resolution Image Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ground-measured meteorological elements at the Yongdam catchment station. To do this, 16-day averaged data were used. It was found that the vegetation index is well correlated to air temperature but poorly correlated to precipitation. The study provides some intuition and guidelines for the study of the droughts and ecologies in the future.

This study aims to develop a method to analyze droughts in Nakdong river area. Satellite imagery can be applied to droughts monitoring because it can afford periodic data for large area for long time. In this study, supposing that evapotranspiration and NDVI are closely related to each other, we presented a method to estimate evapotranspiration in large area with NDVI from MODIS data and temperature. For the final analysis of droughts, water deficit is calculated by climatological water balance using the distribution of evapotranspiration and precipitation. As the results of this study, we improved the usability of satellite imagery, especially in drought analysis.
