Downscaling is a fundamental procedure in the assessment of the future climate change impact at regional and watershed scales. Hence, it is important to investigate the spatial variability of the climate conditions that are constructed by various downscaling methods in order to assess whether each method can model the climate conditions at various spatial scales properly. This study introduces a fundamental research from Jang and Kavvas(2015) that precipitation variability from a popular statistical downscaling method (BCSD) and a dynamical downscaling method (MM5) that is based on the NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data for a historical period and on the CCSM3 GCM A1B emission scenario simulations for a projection period, is investigated by means of some spatial characteristics: a) the normalized standard deviation (NSD), and b) the precipitation change over Northern California region. From the results of this study it is found that the BCSD method has limitations in projecting future precipitation values since the BCSD-projected precipitation, being based on the interpolated change factors from GCM projected precipitation, does not consider the interactions between GCM outputs and local geomorphological characteristics such as orographic effects and land use/cover patterns. As such, it is not clear whether the popular BCSD method is suitable for the assessment of the impact of future climate change at regional, watershed and local scales as the future climate will evolve in time and space as a nonlinear system with land-atmosphere feedbacks. However, it is noted that in this study only the BCSD procedure for the statistical downscaling method has been investigated, and the results by other statistical downscaling methods might be different.

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.

The main purpose of this study is to suggest and evaluate an operational method for assessing the potential impact of climate change on hydrologic components and water resources of regional scale river basins. The method, which uses large scale climate change information provided by a state of the art general circulation model(GCM) comprises a statistical downscaling approach and a spatially distributed hydrological model applied to a river basin located in Korea. First, we construct global climate change scenarios using the YONU GCM control run and transient experiments, then transform the YONU GCM grid-box predictions with coarse resolution of climate change into the site-specific values by statistical downscaling techniques. The values are used to modify the parameters of the stochastic weather generator model for the simulation of the site-specific daily weather time series. The weather series fed into a semi-distributed hydrological model called SLURP to simulate the streamflows associated with other water resources for the condition of $2CO_2$. This approach is applied to the Yongdam dam basin in southern part of Korea. The results show that under the condition of $2CO_2$, about $7.6\% of annual mean streamflow is reduced when it is compared with the observed one. And while Seasonal streamflows in the winter and autumn are increased, a streamflow in the summer is decreased. However, the seasonality of the simulated series is similar to the observed pattern and the analysis of the duration cure shows the mean of averaged low flow is increased while the averaged wet and normal flow are decreased for the climate change.

대기순환모형(GCM)에 의하면 온실가스농도의 증가는 전구와 국지규모의 기후변화에 중요한 관련이 있음이 알려져 있다. GCM은 단일지점의 기상학적 순환과정을 분석하는데는 불확실성을 지니고 있기 때문에 현재로서는 축소기법이 대기순환모형(GCM)의 개발자들이 제공할 수 있는 것과 모형을 이용하여 기후영향을 평가하는 연구자들이 요구하는 것 사이의 차이점을 연계하기 위해 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 통계학적 축소기법을 이용하여 국지 규모의 기후변화의 영향을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 방법을 이용한다면 현재와 미래의 국지적 규모의 기후강제력 하에서의 지표 기상변수의 시나리오를 저 비용으로 신속하게 작성할 수 있다. 기후변화시나리오의 작성은 통계학적 회귀방법인 전이함수와 추계학적 일기발생모형을 이용하였다. 전이함수는 저해상도의 GCM 격자 변수들을 고해상도의 단일 지점의 변수들로 변환시키며, 이 변수들은 단일 지점의 특정 일 지표 기상 변수를 모의하기 위해 추계학적 일기발생 모형의 매개변수를 수정하는데 이용되었다. 본 연구에서는 YONU GCM을 이용하여 제어실험과 점증실험을 실시하여 전구규모의 기후변화시나리오를 작성하였다.

정상성 마코프 연쇄 모형은 일강우모의 모형으로 광범위하게 이용되고 있다. 하지만 정상성 마코프 연쇄 모형의 기본가정은 통계학적 특성이 시간에 따라 변화하지 않는 것으로, 일강우모의 시에 평균 또는 분산의 경향적 변화를 효과적으로 반영할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점을 인지하여 본 연구에서는 연주기 및 계절변화에 대하여 우수한 모의 능력을 나타내는 GCM의 모의결과를 입력자료로 이용하여 일강우량을 모의하기 위한 통계학적 상세화(downscaling) 기법인 비정상성 은닉 마코프 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형을 낙동강 유역에 존재하는 영주지점, 문경지점 및 구미지점의 관측강우량에 적용한 결과, 일단위 및 계절단위의 강우량의 통계적 특성을 기존 모형에 비하여 개선된 결과를 도출할 수 있었으며, 또한 개발된 모형은 극치강수량 복원에 있어서도 관측값과 보다 유사한 결과를 보여 주었다. 이러한 점에서 정확성이 확보된 GCM 계절예측자료가 입력자료로 NHMM 모형에 활용된다면 예측기반의 일강수 상세화 모형으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이와 더불어, 기후변화 시나리오 입력자료가 사용된다면 기후변화 상세화 모형으로서도 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

BCSA (Bias-Correction and Stochastic Analog) is a statistical downscaling technique designed to effectively correct the systematic errors of GCM (General Circulation Model) output and reproduce basic statistics and spatial variability of the observed precipitation filed. In this study, the applicability of BCSA was evaluated using the ASOS observation data over South Korea, which belongs to the monsoon climatic zone with large spatial variability of rainfall and different rainfall characteristics. The results presented the reproducibility of temporal and spatial variability of daily precipitation in various manners. As a result of comparing the spatial correlation with the observation data, it was found that the reproducibility of various climate indices including the average spatial correlation (variability) of rainfall events in South Korea was superior to the raw GCM output. In addition, the needs of future related studies to improve BCSA, such as supplementing algorithms to reduce calculation time, enhancing reproducibility of temporal rainfall patterns, and evaluating applicability to other meteorological factors, were pointed out. The results of this study can be used as the logical background for applying BCSA for reproducing spatial details of the rainfall characteristic over the Korean Peninsula.

A statistical downscaling methodology has been developed to investigate future daily wind speeds over South Korea. This methodology includes calibration of the statistical downscaling model by using large-scale atmospheric variables encompassing NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, validation of the model for the calibration period, and estimation of the future wind speed based on the general circulation model (GCM) outputs of scenario A1B of the CGCM3. Based on the scenario A1B of the CGCM3 model, the potential impacts of climate change on the daily surface wind speed is relatively small (+/- 1m/s) in South Korea.

본 연구는 기후변화가 유역의 유출량과 수자원에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 먼저, YONU GCM의 제한실험과 점증실험을 실시하여 전구적 규모의 기후변화 시나리오를 작성하였으며, 통계학적 축소기법과 추계학적 일기발생기법을 이용하여 대상지점의 일 수문기상 시계열을 모의하였다. 이렇게 얻은 시계열자료를 2CO2 상황에서의 유출량자료로 변환하기 위해 준 분포형 강우-유출 모형인 SLURP 모형에 입력하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 방법을 용담댐 유역에 적용하였으며, 그 결과, 기후변화시 연 평균 유출량의 경우 현재상황에 비해 약7.6％ 감소하는 것으로 모의되었으며, 계절적으로 볼 때 겨울철과 가을철에는 유출량이 증가하였으나 여름철에는 감소하였다. 그러나, 유출량의 계절적 패턴은 변화가 없는 것으로 모의되었다.

To interpret the climate projections for the future as well as present, recognition of the consequences of the climate internal variability and quantification its uncertainty play a vital role. The Korean Peninsula belongs to the Far East Asian Monsoon region and its rainfall characteristics are very complex from time and space perspective. Its internal variability is expected to be large, but this variability has not been completely investigated to date especially using models of high temporal resolutions. Due to coarse spatial and temporal resolutions of General Circulation Models (GCM) projections, several studies adopted dynamic and statistical downscaling approaches to infer meterological forcing from climate change projections at local spatial scales and fine temporal resolutions. In this study, stochastic downscaling methodology was adopted to downscale daily GCM resolutions to hourly time scale using an hourly weather generator, the Advanced WEather GENerator (AWE-GEN). After extracting factors of change from the GCM realizations, these were applied to the climatic statistics inferred from historical observations to re-evaluate parameters of the weather generator. The re-parameterized generator yields hourly time series which can be considered to be representative of future climate conditions. Further, 30 ensemble members of hourly precipitation were generated for each selected station to quantify uncertainty. Spatial map was generated to visualize as separated zones formed through K-means cluster algorithm which region is more inconsistent as compared to the climatological norm or in which region the probability of occurrence of the extremes event is high. The results showed that the stations located near the coastal regions are more uncertain as compared to inland regions. Such information will be ultimately helpful for planning future adaptation and mitigation measures against extreme events.

For the assessment of climate change impacts on river flow condition, CGCM 3.1 T63 is selected as future climate information. The projections come from CGCM used to simulate the GHG emission scenario known as A2. Air temperature and precipitation information from the GCM simulations are converted to regional scale data using the statistical downscaling method known as MSPG. Downscaled climate data from GCM are then used as the input data for the modified TANK model to generate regional runoff estimates for 44 river locations in Nakdong river basin. Climate change is expected to reduce the reliability of water supplies in the period of 2021~2030. In the period of 2051~2060, stream flow is expected to be reduced in spring season and increased in summer season. However, it should be noted that there are a lot of uncertainties in such multiple-step analysis used to convert climate information from GCM-based future climate projections into hydrologic information.
