현재 우리나라는 수자원의 안정적인 확보와 효율적인 관리를 위하여 20년 단위의 수자원장기 종합계획을 수립하고 있으며, 향후 발생가능한 물의 과부족을 평가하는 물수급 분석을 통해 최적의 수자원관리 계획을 수립하고 있다. 하지만, 현재의 수자원장기종합계획에서는 미래 물수급 전망을 단일 값으로 제시하는 확정론적 기법을 적용하고 있으며, 과거 유출패턴이 미래에도 똑같이 재현된다는 가정 하에 물수급 분석을 수행한다. 이는 기후변화의 불확실성에 따른 물공급 시나리오의 다양성을 고려하지 않는 것을 뜻하며, 현재 다양한 GCM(Global Circulation Model)을 통해 제시되고 있는 미래 수자원 변동 전망을 물수급 분석에 반영하지 않고 있음을 말해 주는 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 미래 자연유출량의 불확실성을 반영할 수 있는 물수급 전망 기법을 제안코자 한다. 먼저 국내유역에 적합한 GCM 시나리오들을 선정하였으며, 스케일상세화(downscaling) 기법을 통해 한강유역 중권역별 강우량, 증발산량 등의 일 단위 미래 수문기상 자료를 구축하였다. 다음으로, 앞서 구축한 기상자료를 개념적 강우-유출 모형인 TANK 모형에 입력하여 중권역별 미래 유출량을 산정하여 각 시나리오별 미래 유출량 변화를 전망하였다. 물수급 분석 모형으로는 한국건설기술연구원에서 미국 SEI-B와 제휴하여 개발한 통합수자원평가계획모형인 K-WEAP을 사용하였으며, 물수급 분석 결과를 바탕으로 중권역별 물공급 지수를 산정하여 제시하였다. 현재 대부분의 기후변화 연구에서는 GCM 시나리오를 직접 적용한 결과를 바탕으로 미래 수자원 전망 결과를 제시하고 있는데, 여기에는 GCM 자체의 불확실성은 물론 과거 관측 자료를 입력자료로 하는 기존 연구 방법론으로 부터의 급진적인 변화에 따른 연구 연속성의 문제 또한 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GCM 유출량 시나리오의 직접 적용 대신 과거 유출 시나리오별 가중값을 산정하여 반영함으로서 GCM 모의 결과의 불확실성을 저감하는 방안을 제안하였다.

기존 기후변화 영향평가 불확실성 연구들은 거의 대부분 GCM의 불확실성이 가장 크다고 결론내리고 있으나, ES 불확실성과의 정량적 비교는 하지 못했으며, 기존 접근방법은 민감도 분석 수준에 머무르고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후변화 영향평가 각 단계별 불확실성을 포괄적으로 정량화하고 수행단계별 불확실성의 전파정도를 추정할 수 있는 새로운 approach를 제안하였다. 첫째, 전체 불확실성, 각 단계별 불확실성 증가 정도, 각 단계별 불확실성의 비율을 제시할 수 있는 새로운 approach를 제안하였다. 또한 불확실성을 정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 방법으로 maximum entropy(이하 ME)를 선정하였으며, 이를 본 연구에서 제시한 approach에서 적용성을 살펴보았다. 둘째, 본 연구에서는 기후변화 영향평가 불확실성 단계별 정량화를 위해 2개 배출시나리오, 4개 GCM 시나리오, 2개 상세화기법, 2개 수문모형을 사용하여 기본적 기후변화 영향평가 단계를 모두 수행하였다. 기존 approach에서는 GCMs의 변화율(89.34)이 가장 커 GCMs의 불확실성이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으나 제시한 approach에서는 배출시나리오의 불확실성이 전체 대비 58.66 %로 기후변화 영향평가에서 가장 큰 불확실성 발생 원인으로 파악되었다. 모형 불확실성에서는 GCMs의 불확실성(전체 대비 33.57 %)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 배출시나리오의 ME는 3.32, GCMs의 ME는 5.22, 상세화기법의 ME는 5.57, 수문모형의 ME는 5.66으로 단계적으로 불확실성이 증가하였다. 다음으로 유량과 강수를 이용하여 불확실성 정량화를 수행하였으며, 강수를 이용한 불확실성 정량화에서는 유량을 이용한 결과와 다르게 배출시나리오 다음으로 상세화기법의 불확실성이 큰 것으로 나타나 어떤 수문변수에 초점을 두느냐에 따라 불확실성 정량화저감 노력 대상이 달라질 수 있음을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 자연변동성에 의한 불확실성이 기후변화 전체 불확실성의 45.47 % 정도로 나타났으며, 이는 미래 기후변화에 의해 발생하는 불확실성이 과거 자연변동보다 2배 이상으로서, 기후변화에 의한 미래전망의 불확실성이 매우 크게 증가한다는 매우 중요한 결과를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of gastrocnemius(GCM) muscle length on the dynamic balance and antero-posterior pressure distribution of foot. Thirty subjects were recruited and each subject was classified with control experimental and control group according to GCM muscle length. The experimental group included subjects with shortness of GCM muscle length, the control group included subjects with normal length of GCM. The dynamic balance and antero-posterior pressure distribution of foot were measured by Biorescue equipment. To evaluate dynamic balance, we collected data of limit of stability in antero-posterior direction. We analyzed the data by using independent t-test. The alpha level was set 0.05. The results showed that the dynamic balance and antero-posterior pressure distribution of foot were significantly different between two groups (p<0.05). This study suggests that the shortness of GCM affects anterior limited of stability in dynamic balance and anterior pressure distribution of foot. Therefore, it is important to maintain optimal GCM muscle length for normal balance ability and prevention of musculoskeletal disease.

This study aims to predict the future flood damage cost of 113 middle range watersheds using 26 GCM outputs, hourly maximum rainfall, 10-min maximum rainfall, number of days of 80 mm/day, daily rainfall maximum, annual rainfall amount, DEM, urbanization ratio, population density, asset density, road improvement ratio, river improvement ratio, drainage system improvement ratio, pumping capacity, detention basin capacity and previous flood damage costs. A constrained multiple linear regression model was used to construct the relationships between the flood damage cost and other variables. Future flood damage costs were estimated for different RCP scenarios such as 4.5 and 8.5. Results demonstrated that rainfall related factors such as annual rainfall amount, rainfall extremes etc. widely increase. It causes nationwide future flood damage cost increase. Especially the flood damage cost for Eastern part watersheds of Kangwondo and Namgang dam area may mainly increase.

From the General Circulation Models(GCMs), it is known that the increases of concentrations of greenhouse gases will have significant implications for climate change in global and regional scales. The GCM has an uncertainty in analyzing the meteorologic processes at individual sites and so the 'downscaling' techniques are used to bridge the spatial and temporal resolution gaps between what, at present, climate modellers can provide and what impact assessors require. This paper describes a method for assessing local climate change impacts using a robust statistical downscaling technique. The method facilitates the rapid development of multiple, low-cost, single-site scenarios of daily surface weather variables under current and future regional climate forcing. The construction of climate change scenarios based on spatial regression(transfer function) downscaling and on the use of a local stochastic weather generator is described. Regression downscaling translates the GCM grid-box predictions with coarse resolution of climate change to site-specific values and the values were then used to perturb the parameters of the stochastic weather generator in order to simulate site-specific daily weather values. In this study, the global climate change scenarios are constructed using the YONU GCM control run and transient experiments.

Due to emissions of greenhouse gases caused by increased use of fossil fuels, the climate change has been detected and this phenomenon would affect even larger changes in temperature and precipitation of South Korea. Especially, the increase of temperature by climate change can affect the amount and pattern of snowfall. Accordingly, we tried to predict future snowfall and the snowfall pattern changes by using the downscaled GCM (general circulation model) scenarios. Causes of snow varies greatly, but the information provided by GCM are maximum / minimum temperature, rainfall, solar radiation. In this study, the possibility of snow was focused on correlation between minimum temperatures and future precipitation. First, we collected the newest fresh snow depth offered by KMA (Korea meteorological administration), then we estimate the temperature of snow falling conditions. These estimated temperature conditions were distributed spatially and regionally by IDW (Inverse Distance Weight) interpolation. Finally, the distributed temperature conditions (or boundaries) were applied to GCM, and the future snowfall was predicted. The results showed a wide range of variation for each scenario. Our models predict that snowfall will decrease in the study region. This may be caused by global warming. Temperature rise caused by global warming highlights the effectiveness of these mechanisms that concerned with the temporal and spatial changes in snow, and would affect the spring water resources.

The purpose of this study was conducted in order to analyze the effects of the manual intervention and self-corrective exercise models of general coordinative manipulation(GCM) on the balance restoration of spine & extremities joints with distortions and mal-alignment areas. The subjects were the members who visited GCM Musculoskeletal Prevent Exercise Center from March 1 2012 to December 31 2013 because of spine & extremities joints distortion and mal-alignments, poor posture, and body type correction. All subjects were diagnosed with the four types of the GBT diagnosis. And according to the standards of the mobility vs stability types of the upper & lower body, they were classified into Group 1(40 persons) and Group 2(24 persons). For every other day for three times a week, GCM intervention models were applied to all subjects for four weeks, adding up to 12 times in total. Then the balance restoration effects were re-evaluated with the same methods. The results are as follows. 1) Balance restoration effects of VASdp(Visual analysis scale pain & discomfort) and ER(Equilibrium reaction: ER) came out higher in GCM body type(GBT) II III IV of Group 1. 2) In case of balance restoration effects in Moire and postural evaluation areas, Group 1 was higher and cervical and scapular girdle were higher in Group 2. The balance restoration of the four GBT types was significant in all regions(p<.05), and the scapular girdle came out as high in the order of GBTII IV I. 3) In case of thoracic-lumbar scoliosis and head rotation facial asymmetric cervical scoliosis ribcage forward, the balance restoration effects of the upper body postural evaluation areas came out the highest in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. The balance restoration effects of the four GBT types were significant in all regions(p<.05), and came out the highest in lumbar scoliosis GBTIII I, ribcage forward and thoracic scoliosis GBTII IV. 4) The balance restoration effects of the lower body postural evaluation areas came out higher in Group 1 and Group 2 for pelvis girdle deviation patella high umbilicus tilt and hallux valgus foot longitudinal arch: FLA patella direction, respectively. The balance restoration effects of the four GBT types were significant in all regions(p<.05), and came out the highest in pelvis girdle deviation GBTIII I and patella high-direction GBTIV II I. 5) The balance restoration effects between the same GBT came out significant (p<.05) in all evaluation areas and items. The conclusions of this study was the manual intervention and self-corrective exercise models of the GCM about the mal-alignment of the spine & extremities joints across the whole body indicated high balance restoration effects(p<.05) in spine & extremities joints in all evaluation areas.

The stationary Markov chain model has been widely used as a daily rainfall simulation model. A main assumption of the stationary Markov model is that statistical characteristics do not change over time and do not have any trends. In other words, the stationary Markov chain model for daily rainfall simulation essentially can not incorporate any changes in mean or variance into the model. Here we develop a Non-stationary hidden Markov chain model (NHMM) based stochastic downscaling scheme for simulating the daily rainfall sequences, using general circulation models (GCMs) as inputs. It has been acknowledged that GCMs perform well with respect to annual and seasonal variation at large spatial scale and they stand as one of the primary sources for obtaining forecasts. The proposed model is applied to daily rainfall series at three stations in Nakdong watershed. The model showed a better performance in reproducing most of the statistics associated with daily and seasonal rainfall. In particular, the proposed model provided a significant improvement in reproducing the extremes. It was confirmed that the proposed model could be used as a downscaling model for the purpose of generating plausible daily rainfall scenarios if elaborate GCM forecasts can used as a predictor. Also, the proposed NHMM model can be applied to climate change studies if GCM based climate change scenarios are used as inputs.

Generally, the GCM (General Circulation Model) data by IPCC climate change scenarios are used for future weather prediction. IPCC GCM models predict well for the continental scale, but is not good for the regional scale. This paper tried to generate future temperature and precipitation of 8 scattered meteorological stations in South Korea by using the MIROC3.2 hires GCM data and applying LARS-WG downscaling method. The MIROC3.2 A1B scenario data were adopted because it has the similar pattern comparing with the observed data (1977-2006) among the scenarios. The results showed that both the future precipitation and temperature increased. The 2080s annual temperature increased $3.8{\sim}5.0^{\circ}C$. Especially the future temperature increased up to $4.5{\sim}7.8^{\circ}C$ in winter period (December-February). The future annual precipitation of 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s increased 17.5 %, 27.5 %, and 39.0 % respectively. From the trend analysis for the future projected results, the above middle region of South Korea showed a statistical significance for winter precipitation and south region for summer rainfall.

To project the effects of climate-induced change on aquatic environments, it is necessary to determine the thermal constraints affecting different fish species and to acquire time series of the current and projected water temperature (WT). Assuming that a nonlinear regression between the WT at individual stations and the ambient air temperature (AT) at nearby weather stations could represent the best relationship of air-water temperature, This study estimates future WT using a general circulation model (GCM). In addition, assuming that the grid-averaged observations of AT correspond to the AT output from GCM simulation, this study constructed a regression curve between the observations of the local WT and the concurrent GCM-simulated surface AT. Because of its low spatial resolution, downscaling is unavoidable. The projected WT under global warming scenario A2 (B2) shows an increase of about $1.6^{\circ}C$ ($0.9^{\circ}C$) for the period 2080-2100. The maximum/minimum WT shows an amount of change similar to that of the mean values. This study will provide guidelines for decision-makers and engineers in climate-induced river environment and ecosystem management.
