The 10-day interval basis measurements of precipitation samples at Yangyang, the rural and coastal area on the eastern coast of the Korea peninsula were accomplished for understanding the precipitation chemistry and the temporal variations of major ions September 1991 to February 1997. The precipitation was slightly acidic, and 37% of the samples in winter were pH less than 4.5. The concentrations of cations were found on the order $Na^+\;>\;{NH_4}^+\;>\;Ca^{2+}\;>\;Mg^{2+}\;>\;K^+$ and those of anions followed the pattern $Cl^-\;>\;{SO_4}^{2-}\;>\;{NO_3}^-$. Neglecting sea salt components, the major ions controlling precipitation chemistry were nss-${SO_4}^{2-}$ and ${NO_3}^-$ in anion and ${NH_4}^+$ and nss-$Ca^{2+}$ in cation. Concentrations of these ions were lower than those measured at urban sites in Korea, but were higher than those measured in Japan. Most of nss-${SO_4}^{2-}$ and ${NO_3}^-$ were neutralized by ammonia and calcium species, especially alkaline soil particles in spring and ammonia gas in other seasons. Considering also the annual value of ［nss -${SO_4}^{2-}$］/［${NO_3}^-$］ ratio of 2.62 and the neutralizing factors, ammonium sulphate compounds were dominant. Annual mean concentrations of these ions showed relatively small fluctuations, while larger seasonal variations were observed with higher levels in spring and winter. Precipitation amount, influence extent of acidic gases and alkaline particles long-range transported from China continent, and energy consumption pattern in each season might be able to explain this seasonal trend.sonal trend.

In order to investigate the chemical components of acid precipitation at Kangwha near the Yellow Sea and Seoul in Korea, the precipitation samples were collected by wetonly precipitation sampler from February 1991 to January 1992, and pH, electric conductivity(E. C.) and major water-soluble ionic components were analyzed. Strong negative linear correlations were observed between the rainfall amount and the sum of major ionic components in $\mu eq/\ell$ at two sites. The sum of major ionic components also correlated negatively with rain intensity. The analytical results of precipitation samples at two sites were compared each other. Average values of volume-weighted pH were found to be 5.21 at Kangwha and 5.09 at Seoul. The cationic abundance($\mu eq/\ell$) in rainwater showed the general trend $NH_4^+ > Na^+ > Ca^{2+} > Mg^{2-+} > H^+ > K^+$ at Kangwah and $NH_4^+ > Ca^{2+} > Na^+ > H^+ > Mg^{2+} > K^+$ at Seoul. The anionic abundance showed the general trend $SO_4^{2-} > Cl^- > NO_3^-$ at Kangwha and $SO_4^{2-} > NO_3^- > Cl^-$ at Seoul. The concentrations of seasalt such as $Na^+ and Cl^-$ were higher at Kangwha than Seoul. The concentrations of $nss-SO_4^{2-}, nss-Cl^- and NO_3^-$ which are acid composition were higher at Seoul(96.3 $\mu eq/\ell$) than Kangwha(69.0 $\mu eq/\ell$). The contribution of seasalt to the composition of precipitation were higher at Kangwha(34.1%) than Seoul(15.7%). Ammonia and calcium species in rainwater at Kangwha and Seoul are interpreted to have 91% of neutralizing capacity of the original sulfuric and nitric acids. Provided that the precipitation acidity originates primarily from sulfate and nitrate, sulfate was found to contribute about 73-75% of the free precipitation acidity.

본 연구에서는 호우의 변화경향을 유역별로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 한국을 6개의 유역으로 나누고 호우와 관련된 7개의 극한강수지수를 분석하여 변화지속성을 파악하였다. 호우량은 호우일수보다 증가경향이 더 지속적이다. 일강수량이 50mm 이상 강수일수와 95 퍼센타일 이상 강수량의 증가경향이 가장 지속적이다. 호우관련지수는 분석기간 동안 대부분 증가경향이지만 한강 유역, 낙동강 상류지역, 동해안 지역이 다른 유역에 비해 증가경향이 뚜렷하다. 금강 유역과 섬진강 유역은 호우의 증가경향이 통계적으로 유의하지 않고 변동성이 크다. 호우의 증가경향은 1970년대 중반 이후 한강과 낙동강 유역에서 지속적이지만 2000년대 중반 이후 증가경향이 지속적으로 나타나는 지점들이 감소한다. 이는 최근 호우의 빈도와 강도가 더욱 불규칙해지고 있음을 의미한다.

본 연구에서는 우리나라를 주기적으로 내습하여 많은 강수를 유발시키는 태풍의 특성에 대해 고찰하고, EST 기법에 적용하여 극한강수량을 산정하였다. 우리나라에 영향을 준 태풍은 연평균 3.18회 발생하고, 약 107시간 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 태풍에 의해 발생하는 강수량은 관측 지점과 발생한 태풍별로 매우 상이한 강수량을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 태풍으로 인한 극한강수량의 특성 분석을 위해 지속시간 1시간과 24시간 연최대시간강수량 및 태풍에 의해 발생한 각 연강수량을 대상으로 변동성 및 경향성 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과에서 전라도와 경상도 및 강원도 지역에서 극한강수량의 평균과 표준편차가 과거에 비해 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 우리나라에 영향을 준 것으로 나타난 143개 태풍에 대하여, 중심 위치 및 중심 기압 자료와 우리나라 강수관측소의 시간강수량 자료를 이용하여 EST 기법에 적용하였다. EST 기법을 적용하여 지속시간별 재현기간별 극한강수량을 산정한 결과, 전라도와 경상도 및 강원도 지역이 태풍에 의해 극한강수가 발생할 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The study explored droughts using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) in the northwestern region of Bangladesh, which is the drought prone area. In order to assess the trend and variability of monthly rainfall, as well as 3-month scale SPI, non-parametric Mann-Kendall (MK) tests and continuous wavelet transform were used respectively. The effect of climatic parameters on the drought in this region was also evaluated using SPI, with the Southern Oscilation Index (SOI) by means of the wavelet coherence technique, a relatively new and powerful tool for describing processes. The MK test showed no statistically significant monthly rainfall trends in the selected stations, whereas the seasonal MK test showed a declining rainfall trend in Bogra, Ishurdi, Rangpur and Sayedpur stations respectively. Sen's slope of six stations also provided a decreasing rainfall trend. The trend of the SPI, as well as Sen's slope indicated an increasing dryness trend in this area. Dominant periodicity of 3-month scale SPI at 8 to 16 months, 16 to 32 months, and 32 to 64 months were observed in the study area. The outcomes from this study contribute to hydrologists to establish strategies, priorities and proper use of water resources.

Coastal erosion is becoming a significant problem in Greece, Bangladesh, and globally. For the prevention and minimization of damage from coastal erosion, combinations of various structures have been used conventionally. However, most of these methods are expensive. Therefore, creating artificial beachrock using local ureolytic bacteria and the MICP (Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation) method can be an alternative for coastal erosion protection, as it is a sustainable and eco-friendly biological ground improvement technique. Most research on MICP has been confined to land ureolytic bacteria and limited attention has been paid to coastal ureolytic bacteria for the measurement of urease activity. Subsequently, their various environmental effects have not been investigated. Therefore, for the successful application of MICP to coastal erosion protection, the type of bacteria, bacterial cell concentration, reaction temperature, cell culture duration, carbonate precipitation trend, pH of the media that controls the activity of the urease enzyme, etc., are evaluated. In this study, the effects of temperature, pH, and culture duration, as well as the trend in carbonate precipitation of coastal ureolytic bacteria isolated from two coastal regions in Greece and Bangladesh, were evaluated. The results showed that urease activity of coastal ureolytic bacteria species relies on some environmental parameters that are very important for successful sand solidification. In future, we aim to apply these findings towards the creation of artificial beachrock in combination with a geotextile tube for coastal erosion protection in Mediterranean countries, Bangladesh, and globally, for bio-mediated soil improvement.

In this paper an attempt is made to explain some of the factors controlling oxygen and hydrogen isotopic variations of precipitation in Pohang by analysing the IAEA data (1961~1976) through statistical correlations and trend observations. During this period, the values of ${\delta}^{18}O$ and D varied widely from -17.80 to +0.07‰, and from -131.9 to +7.7‰, respectively, and fall along a local meteoric water line defined by ${\delta}D=(8.05{\pm}0.32)$ ${\delta}^{18}O+(12.72{\pm}2.44)$ (n=108, ${\gamma}^2=0.86$). The ${\delta}^{18}O$ and ${\delta}D$ values of the precipitation appear to be little dependent on temperature. Although the amount effect is clearly shown in summer precipitation of 1963 and 1965, the isotopic composition of summer precipitation seems not to be greatly dependent on the amount of precipitation.

In this study, we estimated probable precipitation amounts at the target year (2020, 2030, 2040) of 55 weather stations in Korea using the 24 hour annual maximum precipitation data from 1973 through 2009 which should be useful for management of agricultural reservoirs. Not only trend tests but also non-stationary tests were performed and non-stationary frequency analysis were conducted to all of 55 sites. Gumbel distribution was chosen and probability weighted moment method was used to estimate model parameters. The behavior of the mean of extreme precipitation data, scale parameter, and location parameter were analyzed. The probable precipitation amount at the target year was estimated by a non-stationary frequency analysis using the linear regression analysis for the mean of extreme precipitation data, scale parameter, and location parameter. Overall results demonstrated that the probable precipitation amounts using the non-stationary frequency analysis were overestimated. There were large increase of the probable precipitation amounts of middle part of Korea and decrease at several sites in Southern part. The non-stationary frequency analysis using a linear model should be applicable to relatively short projection periods.

본 논문에서는 미계측 유역에 적용할 수 있는 갈수지수 산정 회귀모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 30개의 중권역 유역을 대상으로 국가수자원종합관리시스템에서 제공하는 장기유출자료를 이용하여 평균 갈수량과 평균저수량, 지속기간별 빈도별 갈수지수를 산정하였으며 이를 유역특성인자 18개와 기상특성인자 3개와의 상관 분석을 통하여 최종적으로 유역면적, 유역 평균 표고, 유역 평균 경사, 수계 밀도, 유출곡선지수, 연증발산량, 연강수량을 선정하여 다중회귀분석을 수행하여 갈수지수 회귀모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 회귀모형을 평가하기 위하여 10개의 검증유역을 미계측 유역으로 간주하여 평균제곱근오차(RMSE) 와 평균절대오차(MAE)를 이용하여 정확도를 추정하였다. 또한 기존의 평균갈수량 산정 회귀모형과의 비교를 통하여 본 논문에서 개발한 모형의 우수성을 검토하였다. 기존의 미계측 유역의 평균 갈수량 회귀모형과 비교·분석에서 보다 우수한 결과를 나타내었는데 이는 기존의 회귀모형보다 다양한 유역 특성인자와 수문특성인자를 고려하여 회귀모형을 개발하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
