본 연구에서는 치악산 국립공원을 사례로 TCI를 이용하여 관광기후환경의 변화와 미래 전망을 파악하였다. 과거와 미래를 포함하여 분석된 모든 기간에서 TCI 일평균값의 분포는 봄철과 가을철에 두 개의 봉우리가 나타나는 이봉형태가 나타났다. 따라서 치악산 국립공원은 봄철과 가을철에 관광하기 가장 적합한 기후로 파악되었다. 이러한 분포에는 주간 쾌적지수(Cid)와 일쾌적지수(Cia)의 요소인 기온과 습도가 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 최근 들어 치악산 국립공원의 여름철 관광기후환경이 저하된 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 일조시간의 감소가 이에 가장 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 미래로 갈수록 여름철 관광기후환경의 저하는 더욱 심화될 것으로 전망되었다. 또한 연중 가장 낮은 TCI는 현재 겨울철에 나타났지만 미래에는 여름철로 변화할 것으로 분석되었는데 이는 세부지수 중 주간 쾌적지수(Cid)의 감소가 가장 큰 기여를 하였다.

본 연구에서는 현재 및 미래기후에서의 가뭄심도-영향면적-지속기간 곡선의 비교를 통하여 극한 가뭄사상의 시공간적 거동에 대한 기후변화의 영향을 살펴보았다. 미래기후는 CGCM3.1-T63과 CSIRO-MK3.0으로부터 획득되었다. 분석 결과 CGCM3.1-T63의 경우에는 미래가뭄이 현재와 비슷할 것으로 예측되었으나, CSIRO-MK3.0의 경우에는 연강수량 총량의 변화가 거의 없음에도 불구하고 미래가뭄이 현재보다 더 극심해질 것으로 예측되었다. 이에 따라 현재의 수자원 공급 시스템에 대한 기후변화 취약성 평가가 시급함을 제시하고 있다.

Focus on climate change and extreme weather conditions has received considerable attention in recent years. Civil engineers are now focusing on designing buildings that are more eco-friendly in the face of climate change. This paper describes the research conducted to assess the impact of future climate change on energy usage and carbon emissions in a typical supermarket at multiple locations across the UK. Locations that were included in the study were London, Manchester, and Southampton. These three cities were compared against their building performance based on their respective climatic conditions. Based on the UK Climatic Projections (UKCP09), a series of energy modelling simulations which were provided by the Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers (CIBSE) were conducted on future weather years for this investigation. This investigation ascertains and quantifies the annual energy consumption, carbon emissions, cooling, and heating demand of the selected supermarkets at the three locations under various climatic projections and emission scenarios, which further validates annual temperature rise as a result of climatic variation. The data showed a trend of increasing variations across the UK as one moves southwards, with London and Southampton at the higher side of the spectrum followed by Manchester which has the least variability amongst these three cities. This is the first study which investigates impact of the climate change on the UK supermarkets across different regions by using the real case scenarios.

It is challenging work to predict weather and climate conditions of the future in advance. Since ENIAC was developed, weather and climate research areas have been taking advantage of the improvements in computer hardware. High performance computers allows researchers to build high quality models that allow them to make good predictions of what might happen in the future. Statistics on the high performance computers are one of the major interest to not only manufacturers but also the users such as weather and climate researchers. For this reason, the Top500 Supercomputer Sites Report has been being released twice a year since 1993 to provide a reliable basis for tracking and detecting trends in high performance computing. Using the Top500 Report, a short review on the supercomputer trends in weather and climate research areas is provided in this article.

the downscaled air temperature data over study region for the projected 2001 - 2099 period were then ensemble averaged, and the ensemble averages of 6 realizations were compared against the corresponding historical downscaled data for the 1961 - 2000 period in order to assess the impact of climate change on air temperature over study region by graphical, spatial and statistical methods. In order to evaluate the seasonal trends under future climate change conditions, the simulated annual, annual DJF (December-January-February), and annual JJA (June-July-August) mean air temperature for 5 watersheds during historical and future periods were evaluated. From the results, it is clear that there is a rising trend in the projected air temperature and future air temperature would be warmer by about 3 degrees Celsius toward the end of 21^st century if the ensemble projections of air temperature become true. Spatial comparison of 30-year average annual mean air temperature between historical period (1970 - 1999) and ensemble average of 6-realization shows that air temperature is warmer toward end of 21^st century compared to historical period.

온실가스 증가로 인한 기후변화를 이해하고, 다양한 영향평가 분야에 상세한 기후정보를 제공하기 위해서 온실가스 배출 시나리오에 근거한 지역기후변화 시나리오 연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 역학적 상세화를 위하여 지역기후모델을 이용한 이중둥지격자시스템을 구축하고, 과거 30년(1971-2000)과 미래 30년(2021-2050)에 대한 시나리오를 생산하였다. 미래 시나리오에 대한 신뢰도를 확보하기 위하여, 기준 시나리오에 대한 관측과의 검증이 선행되었다. 기준 시나리오는 둥지격자의 한반도 영역뿐만 아니라 모격자의 동아시아 영역에 대하여 기온과 강수의 계절 및 경년변동성과 일빈도분포를 성공적으로 모사하였다. 또한 경계조건으로 이용된 전구모델과 비교하여 공간적인 특성뿐만 아니라 면적평균 시계열에서도 뚜렷한 오차의 감소를 나타내었다. 미래 기후변화 전망은 기준 시나리오와 미래 시나리오의 차이로부터 유도되며, 평균적인 변화뿐만 아니라 극한 기후의 빈도와 강도변화에 대한 분석이 수행되었다. 미래 시나리오에 의하면 2050년까지 한반도에서는 $2^{\circ}C$ 정도의 기온 상승과 겨울철 강수량의 뚜렷한 증가경향이 전망되었다. 본 연구는 한반도의 복잡한 지형적 특성이 반영된 고해상도 시나리오를 생산하기 위한 방법론을 제시하고, 생산된 시나리오를 이용하여 다양한 시공간 규모에 대한 기후특성을 파악하였다는데 의미가 있다.

Incidences of urban flood and extreme heat waves (due to the urban heat island effect) are expected to increase in New Zealand under future climate change (IPCC 2022; MfE 2020). Increasingly, the mitigation of such events will depend on the resilience of a range Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) used in Sustainable Urban Drainage Schemes (SUDS), or Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) (Jamei and Tapper 2019; Johnson et al 2021). Understanding the impact of changing precipitation and temperature regimes due climate change is therefore critical to the long-term resilience of such urban infrastructure and design. Cuthbert et al (2022) have assessed the trade-offs between the water retention and cooling benefits of different urban greening methods (such as WSUD) relative to global location and climate. Using the Budyko water-energy balance framework (Budyko 1974), they demonstrated that the potential for water infiltration and storage (thus flood mitigation) was greater where potential evaporation is high relative to precipitation. Similarly, they found that the potential for mitigation of drought conditions was greater in cooler environments. Subsequently, Jaramillo et al. (2022) have illustrated the locations worldwide that will deviate from their current Budyko curve characteristic under climate change scenarios, as the relationship between actual evapotranspiration (AET) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) changes relative to precipitation. Using the above approach we assess the impact of future climate change on the urban water-energy balance in three contrasting New Zealand cities (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Invercargill). The variation in Budyko curve characteristics is then used to describe expected changes in water storage and cooling potential in each urban area as a result of climate change. The implications of the results are then considered with respect to existing WSUD guidelines according to both the current and future climate in each location. It was concluded that calculation of Budyko curve deviation due to climate change could be calculated for any location and land-use type combination in New Zealand and could therefore be used to advance the general understanding of climate change impacts. Moreover, the approach could be used to better define the concept of urban infrastructure resilience and contribute to a better understanding of Budyko curve dynamics under climate change (questions raised by Berghuijs et al 2020)). Whilst this knowledge will assist in implementation of national climate change adaptation (MfE, 2022; UNEP, 2022) and improve climate resilience in urban areas in New Zealand, the approach could be repeated for any global location for which present and future mean precipitation and temperature conditions are known.

This study investigated climate change influences over crop water requirement (CWR) and irrigation water requirement (IWR) of the wheat-rice cropping system of Upper Chenab Canal (UCC) command in Punjab Province, Pakistan. PRECIS simulated delta-change climate projections under the A1B scenario were used to project future climate during two-time slices: 2030s (2021-2050) and 2060s (2051-2080) against baseline climatology (1980-2010). CROPWAT model was used to simulate future CWRs and IWRs of the crops. Projections suggested that future climate of the study area would be much hotter than the baseline period with minor rainfall increments. The probable temperature rise increased CWRs and IWRs for both the crops. Wheat CWR was more sensitive to climate-induced temperature variations than rice. However, projected winter/wheat seasonal rainfall increments were satisfactorily higher to compensate for the elevated wheat CWRs; but predicted increments in summer/rice seasonal rainfalls were not enough to complement change rate of the rice CWRs. Thus, predicted wheat IWRs displayed a marginal and rice IWRs displayed a substantial rise. This suggested that future wheat production might withstand the climatic influences by end of the 2030s, but would not sustain the 2060s climatic conditions; whereas, the rice might not be able to bear the future climate-change impacts even by end of the 2030s. In conclusion, the temperature during the winter season and rainfall during the summer season were important climate variables controlling water requirements and crop production in the study area.

This paper presents a method for assessing the risk of wave run-up and overtopping of existing coastal defences and for analysing the probability of failure of the structures under future hydraulic conditions. The recent UK climate projections are employed in the investigations of the influence of changing environments on the long-term performance of sea defences. In order to reduce the risk of wave run-up and overtopping caused by rising sea level and to maintain the present-day allowances for wave run-up height and overtopping discharge, the future necessary increase in crest level of existing structures is investigated. Various critical failure mechanisms are considered for reliability analysis, i.e., erosion of crest by wave overtopping, failure of seaside revetment, and internal erosions within earth sea dykes. The time-dependent reliability of sea dykes is analysed to give probability of failure with time. The results for an example earth dyke section show that the necessary increase in crest level is approximately double of sea level rise to maintain the current allowances. The probability of failure for various failure modes of the earth dyke has a significant increase with time under future hydraulic conditions.

농경지에서의 증발산량 예측은 농업 분야에서의 기후변화 영향 평가 및 적응 계획 수립에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 격자형 국가 표준 기후변화 시나리오 자료를 이용해 잠재 증발산량 (PET)과 가뭄지수 (DI) 전자 기후도의 생산 및 분석을 수행하였다. 특히, 격자형 기상 자료의 처리를 지원하는 도구인 readGrADSWrapper를 기반으로 격자형 기후변화 시나리오 자료를 통계 분석 도구인 R에서 활용하는 기술에 중점을 두었다. FAO-56 공식을 R 스크립트에 구현하여 현재와 미래 조건에서 벼 재배기간 동안의 PET를 계산하였다. 또한, 이를 활용하여 벼 재배에 따른 증발산량 ($PET_{rice}$)과 DI 자료를 생산하고 시공간적 분석을 수행하기 위한 R 스크립트를 구현하였다. 한반도에서 PET의 시공간적 변화 양상은 현재와 미래 조건에서 지역에 따라 차이를 보였다. 전반적으로 한반도에서는 PET와 $PET_{rice}$가 21세기 후반으로 갈수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 예측 결과들은 지역과 시기에 따라 증발산량 증가에 대응하기 위한 수자원 관리가 필요하다는 것을 암시하였다. 예를 들어, 현재 조건에서 습윤 지역으로 분류되던 충청남도 지역이 21세기 중반 이후에는 아습윤 지역으로 바뀔 것으로 전망되었다. 이러한 결과들은 PET와 DI 등 수자원과 관련된 변수 값들의 시공간적인 계산과 분석을 통해 미래 기후조건에서 작물 생산성을 증진시키기 위한 적응 대책 수립을 지원할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, readGrADSWrapper와 같은 격자형 기상 자료의 처리도구의 활용을 통해 보다 다양한 응용기후 변수에 대한 전자기후도 생산 및 분석을 원활히 수행할 수 있을 것이다.
