기후변화에 따른 이상가뭄과 홍수의 영향으로 하천의 수문과 수리적 요소가 변화되고 그로인해 발생하는 지형변화와 그에 따른 수질변화 분석이 필요하다. 낙동강의 효율적인 수질관리를 위해서는 수질과 더불어 유역관리도 함께 이루어져야 한다. 기후변화로 인한 가뭄이나 홍수 등 극한 사상이 보 같은 인공구조물이 설치되어 정체성 수역이 된 낙동강 수계에 어떠한 수질변화가 일어나는지에 대한 연구가 필요하며 이를 고려한 체계적이고 통합적인 수질관리대책이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역의 합천창녕보와 창녕함안보 구간에서 HadGEM3-RA RCP 4.5와 8.5를 적용하여 미래기후시나리오를 예측하여 수문분석을 수행하였다. 수문분석 결과인 유출량을 하상변동모형의 입력자료로 적용하여 상?하류 구간의 지형변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 마지막으로 지형변화가 수질에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 QUAL-MEV 수질모형을 적용하여 지형변화에 따른 수질분석의 상대적 비교를 통해 기후변화와 지형변화의 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 기후시나리오의 경우 HadGEM3-RA RCP 4.5 보다 8.5에서 강수가 6% 증가하는 결과를 나타내고 그에 따라 유출량도 증가하고 있다. 하상변동 분석결과, 유량이 많은 풍수년에 침식과 퇴적양상이 크게 나타나고 RCP 8.5에서 변동 폭이 크게 나타났다. 하천지형변화를 고려한 수질분석결과, 유량의 증가에 따라 수질도 개선되는 결과를 나타내고 있다.

미래 극한사상의 초과확률을 산정하기 위하여 저해상도의 전지구 기후변화 시나리오 자료를 그대로 사용하거나 이를 역학적 또는 통계적 방법으로 상세화한 고해상도 기후변화 시나리오 자료를 활용한다. 통계적 상세화는 전지구 또는 지역기후모델의 현재기후 모의 자료와 관측 자료와의 통계적 관계를 미래 예측자료에 적용하는 방법으로, 현재와 미래 기후의 시공간적 분포가 동일하다는 가정을 포함하고 있다. 반면 역학적 상세화 방법은 기후변화 강제력을 고려하는 지역기후모델을 이용하여 기후시스템의 역학 및 물리과정, 기후시스템간 의 상호작용, 기후변화의 비정상성 등을 고려할 수 있고, 변수간의 시공간적 상관성을 지구시스템의 물리 역학적 과정으로 해석할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이에 국립기상연구소에서는 영국 기상청의 통합모델(UM)기반의 지역기후모델(HadGEM3)을 사용하여 50 km 및 12.5 km 격자 단위로 역학적 상세화(dynamic downscaling)를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 역학적 상세화로 생산된 HadGEM3-RA 자료를 이용하여 현재기후(1980-2005), 가까운 미래(2020-2049)와 21세기말(2070-2099)의 20년 빈도 강수량을 비교하였다. 연구결과, 남한에 걸쳐 현재기후에 비하여 미래에는 극한강수의 크기와 빈도가 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 20년에 한번씩 발생하였던 일 극한강수는 RCP8.5를 고려한 21세기말에는 약 4년에 한번씩 발생하리라 전망되었다.

수자원 분야에서 기후변화 관련 연구는 치수 측면 보다는 이수 측면에서 주로 이뤄지고 있다. 이는 홍수분석을 위한 시간 단위를 충족시켜주는 전지구 대기순환모형(Global Circulation Model: GCM)의 자료가 드물고, 시간 단위의 GCM 자료라 하더라도 극치값(extreme value) 표현에는 한계가 있기 때문이다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 과거 관측자료의 통계적 특성으로 극치자료의 편의(bias)를 보정하고 시간 단위로 분해하기도 한다. 하지만 이런 통계적 상세화(statistical downscaling)는 미래 기후는 과거자료와 통계적 차이가 유의하지 않음을 가정하고 있어, 미래 기후는 현재와 다를 것이라는 공감대에 는 적합하지 않다. 이와 같은 이유로 타당한 극치수문변수 결과를 얻기 위해서는 시간 단위의 고분해능(high resolution) GCM이나 지역기후모델(regional climate model)과 같은 고해상도의 미래 기후변화 자료가 필요하게 된다. 이에 국립기상연구소에서는 영국 기상청의 통합모델(UM)기반의 지역기후모델(HadGEM3)을 사용하여 50 km 및 12.5 km 격자 단위로 역학적 상세화(dynamic downscaling)를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 HadGEM3-RA 결과의 극치수문변수 검증을 위하여 한강유역의 관측 자료와 다양한 방법으로 비교하였다. 두 자료의 극치값을 GEV (Generalized Extreme Value) 분포에 적합(fitting)시켜 비초과확률별 극치사상과, 특정 임계값(threshold value) 이상의 극치사상 발생확률을 비교하였다. 검토 결과, HadGEM3-RA는 통계적 상세화로 구한 극치값 보다는 작았으나 기존의 지역 기후모델에 비하여 현실성 있는 극치값이 계산되었음을 확인하였다.

This study evaluates the temperature and precipitation results in East Asia simulated from the Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 3 regional climate model (HadGEM3-RA) developed by the UK Met Office. The HadGEM3-RA is conducted in the Coordinated Regional climate Downscaling Experiment-East Asia (CORDEX-EA) Phase II domain for 15 year (2000-2014). The spatial distribution of rainbands produced from the HadGEM3-RA by the summer monsoon is in good agreement with the Asian Precipitation Highly Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation of water resources (APRODITE) data over the East Asia. But, precipitation amount is overestimated in Southeast Asia and underestimated over the Korean Peninsula. In particular, the simulated summer rainfall and APRODITE data show the least correlation coefficient and the maximum value of root mean square error in South Korea. Prediction of temperature in Southeast Asia shows underestimation with a maximum error during winter season, while it appears the largest underestimation in South Korea during spring season. In order to evaluate local predictability, the time series of temperature and precipitation compared to the ASOS data of the Seoul Meteorological Station is similar to the spatial average verification results in which the summer precipitation and winter temperature underestimate. Especially, the underestimation of the rainfall increases when the amounts of precipitation increase in summer. The winter temperature tends to underestimate at low temperature, while it overestimates at high temperature. The results of the extreme climate index comparison show that heat wave is overestimated and heavy rainfall is underestimated. The HadGEM3-RA simulated with a horizontal resolution of 25 km shows limitations in the prediction of mesoscale convective system and topographic precipitation. This study indicates that improvement of initial data, horizontal resolution, and physical process are necessary to improve predictability of regional climate model.

In this study, we performed At-site Frequency Analysis(AFA) and Regional Frequency Analysis(RFA) using the observed and climate change scenario data, and the relative root mean squared error(RMMSE) was compared and analyzed for both approaches through Monte Carlo simulation. To evaluate the rainfall quantile, the daily rainfall data were extracted for 615 points in Korea from HadGEM3-RA(12.5km) climate model data, one of the RCM(Regional Climate Model) data provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA). Quantile mapping(QM) and inverse distance squared methods(IDSM) were applied for bias correction and spatial disaggregation. As a result, it is shown that the RFA estimates more accurate rainfall quantile than AFA, and it is expected that the RFA could be reasonable when estimating the rainfall quantile based on climate change scenarios.

The purpose of this study is to predict agricultural reservoir storage rate (RSR) in a month. This algorithm was developed by multiple linear regression model (MLRM) which included the past 3 months RSRs data and the future climate change scenarios. In order to improve use of predicted RSR, this study need the severe criteria in terms of drought. So, the predicted RSR was indexed as the 3 months reservoir drought index (RDI3) and then it was disaggregated into drought duration, severity, and intensity. For the future RSR estimation by climate change scenarios, the 6 RCP 8.5 scenarios of HadGEM2-ES, CESM1-BGC, MPI-ESM-MR, INM-CM4, FGOALS-s2, and HadGEM3-RA were used in three future evaluation periods (S1: 2011~2040, S2: 2041~2070, S3: 2071~2099). The future S3 period of HadGEM2-ES scenario which has the biggest increase in precipitation and temperature showed the largest decrease to 60.2% among the 6 scenarios compared to the historical RSR (1976~2005) 77.3%. In contrast, INM-CM4 scenario which has smallest changes in precipitation and temperature in S3 period showed the smallest decrease to 72.8%. For the CESM1-BGC and MPI-ESM-MR, FGOALS-s2, and HadGEM3-RA, the S3 period RSR showed 72.6%, 72.6%, 67.4%, and 64.5% decrease respectively. The future severe drought condition of RDI3 below -0.25 showed the increase trend for the number and severity up to -2.0 during S3 period.

Not only emissions, but also atmospheric circulation is a key factor that affects local particulate matters (PM) concentrations in Korea through ventilation effects and transboundary transports. As part of the atmospheric circulation, air stagnation especially adversely affects local air quality due to weak ventilation. This study investigates the large-scale circulation related to air stagnation over Korea during winter and projects the climate change impacts on atmospheric patterns, using observed PM data, reanalysis and regional climate projections from HadGEM3-RA with Modified Korea Particulate matter Index. Results show that the stagnation affects the PM concentration, accompanied by pressure ridge at upper troposphere and weaken zonal pressure gradient at lower troposphere. Downscaling using HadGEM3-RA is found to yield Added-Value in the simulated low tropospheric winds. For projection of future stagnation, SSP5-8.5 and SSP1-2.6 (high and low emission) scenarios are used here. It has been found that the stagnation condition occurs more frequently by 11% under SSP5-8.5 and by 5% under SSP1-2.6 than in present-day climate and is most affected by changes in surface wind speed. The increase in the stagnation conditions is related to anticyclonic circulation anomaly at upper troposphere and weaken meridional pressure gradient at lower troposphere. Considering that the present East Asian winter monsoon is mainly affected by change in zonal pressure gradient, it is worth paying attention to this change in the meridional gradient. Our results suggest that future warming condition increase the frequency of air stagnation over Korea during winter with response of atmospheric circulation and its nonlinearity.

The assessment of the current and future climate change-induced potential wind energy is an important issue in the planning and operations of wind farm. Here, the authors analyze spatiotemporal characteristics and variabilities of wind energy over Korean Peninsula in the near future (2006-2040) using Representative Concentration Pathway(RCP) scenarios data. In this study, National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR) regional climate model HadGEM3-RA based RCP 2.6 and 8.5 scenarios are analyzed. The comparison between ERA-interim and HadGEM3-RA during the period of 1981-2005 indicates that the historical simulation of HadGEM3-RA slightly overestimates (underestimates) the wind energy over the land (ocean). It also shows that interannual and intraseasonal variability of hindcast data is generally larger than those of reanalysis data. The investigation of RCP scenarios based future wind energy presents that future wind energy density will increase over the land and decrease over the ocean. The increase in the wind energy and its variability is particularly significant over the mountains and coastal areas, such as Jeju island in future global warming. More detailed analysis presents that the changes in synoptic conditions over East Asia in future decades can influence on the predicted wind energy abovementioned. It is also suggested that the uncertainty of the predicted future wind energy may increase because of the increase of interannual and intra-annual variability. In conclusion, our results can be used as a background data for devising a plan to develop and operate wind farm over the Korean Peninsula.

Analyzing the information about climate change on Korean Peninsula is essential for the national defense. In this study, we used HadGEM3-RA model output (a member of CORDEX-EA) and analyzed the 3 operational weather factors (VMC, runway temperature, WBGT), which affect the aircraft field. The number of future limited days was quantitatively calculated based on the model outputs applying SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 and the operational limits of the previous three factors, and the spatial distribution, time series, and correlation of each result were analyzed. In conclusion, it was analyzed that the number of limited days by VMC would decrease, resulting from the rise in temperature and the drop in relative humidity. This means the operational environment in VMC will improve. On the other hand, the number of limited days by the runway temperature and WBGT would increase, resulting from the rise in temperature. This means the operational environment in runway temperature and WBGT will worsen.
