기상청에서는 영국 전지구기후모델인 HadGEM2-AO 기반의 영국 지역기후모델 HadGEM3-RA로부터 생산된 기후변화 시나리오를 기후변화예측을 위한 국가표준시나리오 자료로 제공하고 있다. 하지만, 기후모델의 특성상, 관측자료와 모의자료 간에는 통계적인 차이가 존재하며, 이러한 차이를 무시하고 원자료를 그대로 분석에 사용하는 것은 무의미 하다. 따라서 이러한 보정하기 위해서 주로 Quantile Mapping, Quantile Delta Mapping, Detrended Quantile Mapping 방법이 주로 사용된다. 하지만 어떠한 편의보정 방법이든 극값이 다수 존재하는 미래기간 모의자료를 보정할 때에는 외삽법(extrapolation)의 적용이 필요하다. 외삽법의 경우 constant correction 방법이 주로 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 기상청의 국가표준시나리오를 대상으로 이러한 편의보정 방법의 적용에 따른 미래 극한강우량의 차이를 분석하고자 하였다. 우선, 모의자료에서 우리나라 주요 기상관측지점에 해당하는 격자로부터 강우량자료를 추출하고 연최대강우시계열을 산정하였다. 그 후, 위의 세 가지 편의보정 방법을 이용하여 강우자료의 편의보정을 수행하였으며, constant correction 방법을 적용하여 이상치를 보정하였다. 그 후, 보정된 미래기간 모의자료의 추세를 분석하고, 이를 미래 확률강우량 산정방법인 scale-invariance 기법에 적용하여 미래 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 그 결과, 외삽법의 적용에 따라 편의보정 방법에 따라 미래 자료의 추세 또는 확률강우량의 변화패턴은 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 그 값 자체는 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 차이는 사용된 GCM과 RCM 조합으로 인한 오차와 더해져, 미래 예측결과의 불확실성으로 나타나기에 미래 극한강우량 예측을 위해서는 다수의 GCM, RCM 조합뿐만 아니라 다수의 편의보정 방법에 따른 결과도 함께 고려(ensemble)하여 결과를 나타내는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The United States has been known as the world's major producer of crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans. Therefore, using meteorological long-term forecast data to project reliable crop yields in the United States is important for planning domestic food policies. The current study is part of an effort to improve the seasonal predictability of regional-scale precipitation across the United States for estimating crop production in the country. For the purpose, a dynamic downscaling method using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is utilized. The WRF simulation covers the crop-growing period (March to October) during 2000-2020. The initial and lateral boundary conditions of WRF are derived from the Pusan National University Coupled General Circulation Model (PNU CGCM), a participant model of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Climate Center (APCC) Long-Term Multi-Model Ensemble Prediction System. For bias correction of downscaled daily precipitation, empirical quantile mapping (EQM) is applied. The downscaled data set without and with correction are called WRF_UC and WRF_C, respectively. In terms of mean precipitation, the EQM effectively reduces the wet biases over most of the United States and improves the spatial correlation coefficient with observation. The daily precipitation of WRF_C shows the better performance in terms of frequency and extreme precipitation intensity compared to WRF_UC. In addition, WRF_C shows a more reasonable performance in predicting drought frequency according to intensity than WRF_UC.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the hybrid downscaling method combined Step-Wise Scaling (SWS) method with Regional Climate Model (RCM) simulation data for climate change impact study on hydrology area. The SWS method is divided by 3 categories (extreme event, dry event and the others). The extreme events, wet-dry days and the others are corrected by using regression method, quantile mapping method, mean & variance scaling method. The application and evaluation of SWS method with 3 existing and popular statistical techniques (linear scaling method, quantile mapping method and weather generator method) were performed at the 61 weather stations. At the results, the accuracy of corrected simulation data by using SWS are higher than existing 3 statistical techniques. It is expected that the usability of SWS method will grow up on climate change study when the use of RCM simulation data are increasing.

Runoff behaviors by five bias correction methods were analyzed, which were Change Factor methods using past observed and estimated data by the estimation scenario with average annual calibration factor (CF_Y) or with average monthly calibration factor (CF_M), Quantile Mapping methods using past observed and estimated data considering cumulative distribution function for entire estimated data period (QM_E) or for dry and rainy season (QM_P), and Integrated method of CF_M+QM_E(CQ). The peak flow by CF_M and QM_P were twice as large as the measured peak flow, it was concluded that QM_P method has large uncertainty in monthly runoff estimation since the maximum precipitation by QM_P provided much difference to the other methods. The CQ method provided the precipitation amount, distribution, and frequency of the smallest differences to the observed data, compared to the other four methods. And the CQ method provided the rainfall-runoff behavior corresponding to the carbon dioxide emission scenario of SRES A1B. Climate change scenario with bias correction still contained uncertainty in accurate climate data generation. Therefore it is required to consider the trend of observed precipitation and the characteristics of bias correction methods so that the generated precipitation can be used properly in water resource management plan establishment.

Recently, extreme precipitation events beyond design capacity of hydraulic system have been occurred and this is the causes of failure of hydraulic structure for flood prevention and of severe flood damage. Therefore it is very important to understand temporal and spatial characteristics of extreme precipitation events as well as expected changes in extreme precipitation events and distributional characteristics during design period under future climate change. In this paper, climate change scenarios were used to assess the impacts of future climate change on extreme precipitation. Furthermore, analysis of future extreme precipitation characteristics and I-D-F analysis were carried out. This study used SRES B2 greenhouse gas scenario and YONU CGCM to simulate climatic conditions from 2031 to 2050 and statistical downscaling method was applied to establish weather data from each of observation sites operated by the Korean Meteorological Administration. Then quantile mapping of bias correction methods was carried out by comparing the simulated data with observations for bias correction. In addition Modified Bartlett Lewis Rectangular Pulse(MBLRP) model (Onof and Wheater, 1993; Onof 2000) and adjust method were applied to transform daily precipitation time series data into hourly time series data. Finally, rainfall intensity, duration, and frequency were calculated to draw I-D-F curve. Although there are 66 observation sites in Korea, we consider here the results from only Seoul, Daegu, Jeonju, and Gwangju sites in this paper. From the results we found that the rainfall intensity will be increased and the bigger intensity will be occurred for longer rainfall duration when we compare the climate conditions of 2030s with present conditions.

The optimization of long-range ensemble climate prediction for rice phenology model with advanced bias correction method is conducted. The daily long-range forecast(6-month) of mean/ minimum/maximum temperature and observation of January to October during 1991-2021 is collected for rice phenology prediction. In this study, the concept of "buffer period" is newly introduced to reduce the problem after bias correction by quantile mapping with constructing the transfer function by month, which evokes the discontinuity at the borders of each month. The four experiments with different lengths of buffer periods(5, 10, 15, 20 days) are implemented, and the best combinations of buffer periods are selected per month and variable. As a result, it is found that root mean square error(RMSE) of temperatures decreases in the range of 4.51 to 15.37%. Furthermore, this improvement of climatic variables quality is linked to the performance of the rice phenology model, thereby reducing RMSE in every rice phenology step at more than 75~100% of Automated Synoptic Observing System stations. Our results indicate the possibility and added values of interdisciplinary study between atmospheric and agriculture sciences.

Climate change can impact hydrologic processes of a watershed system. The integrated modeling systems need to be built to predict and analyze the possible impacts of climate change on water environment for the optimal water resource operation and management. In this study, Namgang Dam watershed in the Nakdong River basin was selected as a study area. To evaluate the vulnerability of Namgang Dam watershed caused by climate change, the change in hydrologic runoff were predicted using the watershed model, SWAT. The RCM scenario was analyzed and downscaled using the artificial neural network and the dynamic quantile mapping. The results of this study will be utilized for suggesting an effective counterplan for climate change, and finally to propose the optimal water resource management method.

기후변화 시나리오는 다양한 자연조건에 대한 불완전한 이해, 연산능력 등의 제한으로 매우 높은 불확실성이 내포되어 있으며, 국내의 다양한 연구에서도 제시되어 있듯이 매우 과소 추정되어 있는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제로 인하여 다양한 편의보정 기법을 통해 기후변화 시나리오의 불확실성을 줄이고자 하는 노력이 수행되었다. 그러나 편의보정 기법은 적용 방법이 서로 상이하기 때문에 보정에 따른 강우 특성이 다르게 나타나는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 편의보정 기법에 따른 강우-유출 특성을 갑천유역을 대상으로 분석하였다. Change Factor(CF)와 Quantile Mapping(QM) 그리고 CF와 QM을 연계한 편의보정기법(CQ)에 따른 강우-유출 특성을 갑천유역을 대상으로 Change Factor(CF)에서 연평균(CF_Y)/월평균(CF_M) 교정계수를 이용하는 방법과 Quantile Mapping(QM)을 총 편의보정기간(QM_E)과 우기와 비우기(QM_P)를 구분하여 누적확률분포를 고려하는 방법, 그리고 CF와 QM을 연계한 편의보정기법(CQ) 총 5가지에 대해서 편의보정을 수행하고 유출특성을 SWAT모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 과거 기간에 대해 CF_M과 QM_P는 첨두유량이 실측 첨두유량에 비해 2배 이상 크게 나타났으며, 특히 QM_P는 최대 강우 발생 월이 다른 편의보정 기법과는 다르게 나타나 월별 유출 분석시 큰 오류가 발생될 것으로 판단된다. 5가지의 편의보정 기법 중에 CQ가 과거 강수 크기, 발생 분포 및 빈도 재현을 가장 잘 반영하며, 미래기간에 대한 기간별(2030s, 2050s, 2070s, 2090s) 평균유량을 비교한 결과 본 연구에서 사용한 SRES A1B 시나리오의 이산화탄소 배출 시나리오의 특성을 유지한 미래 강우-유출해석이 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 기후변화 시나리오에 편의보정 기법 적용으로 자연적인 현상을 정확하게 모의하기에는 어려움이 많고 불확실성 역시 매우 크지만, 과거 강수발생 경향이나 편의보정의 특성을 알고 활용목적에 맞는 편의보정을 수행한다면 수자원 관리 계획 수립 등에 큰 도움이 될것으로 판단된다.

This research proposes the suitable method for estimating the future probable rainfall based in 2100 on the observed rainfall data from main climate observation stations in Korea and the rainfall data from the A1B climate change scenario in the Korea Meteorological Administration. For all those, the frequency probable rainfall in 2100 was estimated by the relationship between average values of 24-hours annual maximum rainfalls and related parameters. Three methods to estimate it were introduced; First one is the regressive analysis method by parameters of probable distribution estimated by observed rainfall data. In the second method, parameters of probable distribution were estimated with the observed rainfall data. Also the rainfall data till 2100 were estimated by the A1B scenario of the Korea Meteorological Administration. Last method was that parameters of probable distribution and probable rainfall were estimated by the A1B scenario of the Korea Meteorological Administration. The estimated probable rainfall by the A1B scenario was smaller than the observed rainfall data, so it is required that the estimated probable rainfall was calibrated by the quantile mapping method. After that calibration, estimated probable rainfall data was averagely became approximate 2.3 to 3.0 times. When future probable rainfall was the estimated by only observed rainfall, estimated probable rainfall was overestimated. When future probable rainfall was estimated by the A1B scenario, although it was estimated by similar pattern with observed rainfall data, it frequently does not consider the regional characteristics. Comparing with average increased rate of 24-hours annual maximum rainfall and increased rate of probable rainfall estimated by three methods, optimal method of estimated future probable rainfall would be selected for considering climate change.

This study presented evaluation procedure for selecting appropriate GCMs and downscaling method by focusing on the climate extreme indices suitable for climate change adaptation. The procedure includes six stages of processes as follows: 1) exclusion of unsuitable GCM through raw GCM analysis before bias correction; 2) calculation of the climate extreme indices and selection of downscaling method by evaluating reproducibility for the past and distortion rate for the future period; 3) selection of downscaling method based on evaluation of reproducibility of spatial correlation among weather stations; and 4) MME calculation using weight factors and evaluation of uncertainty range depending on number of GCMs. The presented procedure was applied to 60 weather stations where there are observed data for the past 30 year period on Korea Peninsula. First, 22 GCMs were selected through the evaluation of the spatio-temporal reproducibility of 29 GCMs. Between Simple Quantile Mapping (SQM) and Spatial Disaggregation Quantile Delta Mapping (SDQDM) methods, SQM was selected based on the reproducibility of 27 climate extreme indices for the past and reproducibility evaluation of spatial correlation in precipitation and temperature. Total precipitation (prcptot) and annual 1-day maximum precipitation (rx1day), which is respectively related to water supply and floods, were selected and MME-based future projections were estimated for near-future (2010-2039), the mid-future (2040-2069), and the far-future (2070-2099) based on the weight factors by GCM. The prcptot and rx1day increased as time goes farther from the near-future to the far-future and RCP 8.5 showed a higher rate of increase in both indices compared to RCP 4.5 scenario. It was also found that use of 20 GCM out of 22 explains 80% of the overall variation in all combinations of RCP scenarios and future periods. The result of this study is an example of an application in Korea Peninsula and APCC Integrated Modeling Solution (AIMS) can be utilized in various areas and fields if users want to apply the proposed procedure directly to a target area.
