Recently, As the frequency of localized heavy rains increases, the use of high-resolution radar data is increasing. The produced radar rainfall has still gaps of spatial and temporal compared to gauge observation rainfall, and in many studies, various statistical techniques are performed for correct rainfall. In this study, the precipitation correction of the S-band Dual Polarization radar in use in the flood forecast was performed using the ConvAE algorithm, one of the Convolutional Neural Network. The ConvAE model was trained based on radar data sets having a 10-min temporal resolution: radar rainfall data, gauge rainfall data for 790minutes(July 2017 in Cheongju flood event). As a result of the validation of corrected radar rainfall were reduced gaps compared to gauge rainfall and the spatial correction was also performed. Therefore, it is judged that the corrected radar rainfall using ConvAE will increase the reliability of the gridded rainfall data used in various physically-based distributed hydrodynamic models.

Weather radar has been widely used in measuring precipitation and discharge and predicting flood risks. The radar rainfall estimate has one of the essential problems in terms of uncertainty and accuracy. Previous study analyzed radar errors to reduce its uncertainty or to improve its accuracy. Furthermore, a recent analyzed the effect of radar error on rainfall-runoff using spatial error model (SEM). SEM appropriately reproduced radar error including spatial correlation. Since the SEM does not take the time dependence into account, its time variability was not properly investigated. Therefore, in the current study, we extend the SEM including time dependence as well as spatial dependence, named after Spatial-Temporal Error Model (STEM). Radar rainfall events generated with STEM were tested so that the peak runoff from the response of a basin could be investigated according to dependent error. The Nam River basin, South Korea, was employed to illustrate the effects of STEM on runoff peak flow.

Today they use a weather radar with spatially high resolution in predicting rainfall intensity and utilizing the information for super short-range forecast in order to make predictions of such severe meteorological phenomena as heavy rainfall and snow. For a weather radar, they use the Z-R relation between the reflectivity factor(Z) and rainfall intensity(R) by rainfall particles in the atmosphere in order to estimate intensity. Most used among the various Z-R relation is $Z=200R^{1.6}$ applied to stratiform rain. It's also used to estimate basic rainfall intensity of a weather radar run by the weather center. This study set out to compare rainfall intensity between the reflectivity of a weather radar and the ground rainfall of ASOS(Automatic Surface Observation System) by analyzing many different cases of heavy rain, analyze the errors of different weather radars and identify their problems, and investigate their applicability to nowcasting in case of severe weather.

In this paper, we proposed a methodology for estimating rainfall intensity using a W-band FMCW automotive radar signal which is the core technology of autonomous driving car. By comparing and analyzing the results of rainfall and non-rainfall observation, we found that the reflection intensity of the automotive radar is changed with rainfall intensity. We could confirm the possibility of deriving the quantitative precipitation estimation using the methodology derived from this result. In addition it can be possible to develop a new paradigm of precipitation observation technique by observing various events together with the weather radar and the ground rainfall observation equipment.

Radar rainfall estimates have been widely used in calculating rainfall amount approximately and predicting flood risks. The radar rainfall estimates have a number of error sources such as beam blockage and ground clutter hinder their applications to hydrological flood forecasting. Moreover, it has been reported in paper that those errors are inter-correlated spatially and temporally. Therefore, in the current study, we tested influence about spatio-temporal errors in radar rainfall estimates. Spatio-temporal errors were simulated through a stochastic simulation model, called Multivariate Autoregressive (MAR). For runoff simulation, the Nam River basin in South Korea was used with the distributed rainfall-runoff model, Vflo. The results indicated that spatio-temporal dependent errors caused much higher variations in peak discharge than spatial dependent errors. To further investigate the effect of the magnitude of time correlation among radar errors, different magnitudes of temporal correlations were employed during the rainfall-runoff simulation. The results indicated that strong correlation caused a higher variation in peak discharge. This concluded that the effects on reducing temporal and spatial correlation must be taken in addition to correcting the biases in radar rainfall estimates.

This study estimated the error involved in the areal average rainfall derived incomplete radar information due to radar partial coverage of a basin or sub-basin. This study considers the Han River Basin as an application example for the rainfall observation using the Ganghwa rain radar. Among the total of 24 mid-sized sub-basins of the Han River Basin evaluated in this study, only five sub-basins are fully covered by the radar and three are totally uncovered. Remaining 16 sub-basins are partially covered by the radar leading incomplete radar information available. When only partial radar information is available, the sampling error decreases proportional to the size of the radar coverage, which also varies depending on the number of clusters. It is general that smaller sampling error can be expected when the number of clusters increases if the total area coverage remains the same. This study estimated the sampling error of the areal average rainfall of partially-covered mid-sized sub-basins of the Han River Basin, and the results show that the sampling error could be at least several % to maximum tens % depending on the relative coverage area.

기후변화로 인하여 국지성 집중호우가 크게 늘어나고 그로인해 막대한 인적 및 물적 피해를 야기하고 있다. 따라서 강우의 시간적 공간적 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 레이다 강우를 이용하여 시공간적 변동성을 고려한 격자형 면적강우량을 산정하기 위하여 추계학적 방법인 칼만필터 기법을 이용하여 지상 강우 관측망과 레이다 강우 관측망을 조합하여 면적강우량을 산정하였다. 또한 전통적인 지상 강우량을 면적강우량으로 전환하는 기법인 Thiessen법, 역거리법, 크리깅 기법을 이용하여 면적강우량을 산정한 후 칼만필터 기법에 의해 보정된 면적 레이다 강우와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 칼만필터 기법에 의해 보정된 레이다 강우는 실제 강우 분포와 유사한 공간분포를 가지는 원시 레이다 강우 분포를 잘 재현하면서도 강우 체적은 우량계 자료의 체적과 유사하게 나타났다. 그리고 안성천 유역을 대상유역으로 선정하여 칼만필터 기법에 의해 보정된 레이다 강우를 물리적 기반의 분포형 모형인 $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형과 준분포형 모형인 ModClark 모형에 적용하여 홍수유출을 모의하였다. 그 결과, $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형은 첨두시간과 첨두치가 관측 수문곡선과 유사하게 모의되었으며 ModClark 모형은 총 유출체적에서 좋은 결과를 나타냈다. 그러나 매개변수 검증에서는 $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형이 ModClark 모형보다 관측 수문곡선을 잘 재현하였다. 이를 통해 지상강우와 레이더 강우를 적절하게 조합하여 정확도 높은 면적강우량을 산정하고 분포형 수문모형과 연계하여 홍수유출모의를 실시할 경우 충분한 적용성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 강우의 공간분포와 이동 및 발달상황을 파악할 수 있는 레이더강우 자료의 활용이 수문학분야에서 주목받고 있지만, 레이더 강우자료는 지상강우자료와 비교하여 자료의 신뢰성 확보가 되지 않아 실제 자료의 운용 및 적용에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 수문해석 분야에서는 레이더 강우를 활용하기 위해 레이더강우를 지상강우와 합성하여 보정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MFB(Mean-Field Bias)보정기법과 SOA(Statistical Objective Analysis)보정기법을 이용해 2010년 8월의 강우사상에 대하여 시공간 분포를 적절하게 표현할 수 있는 격자형 레이더 강우시계열자료를 생성하였다. 또한, 기존의 집중형 수문모형보다 유역내의 공간적인 유량변동을 보다 상세하게 고려할 수 있는 격자기반의 분포형모형(Vflo)을 국내 유역(낙동강권역 : 감천유역($1005km^2$))에 적용하여, 모의유출량과 관측유출량의 비교를 통해 레이더강우자료의 활용성 및 보정방법의 정확도를 평가하고자 하였다. 각 보정방법에 의한 첨두유량 오차는 20% 내외, 모델효율은 60~80% 수준으로 나타났으며, 특히 SOA방법을 통해 보정된 격자형 레이더 강우자료는 유출모형의 입력 자료로서 수문학적 활용성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 국지성 집중호우 및 돌발홍수와 같은 급격한 기상변화로 인한 기상재해의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 고해상도의 기상레이더 강우자료를 사용한 수공학 분야의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기상레이더는 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 실시간으로 강우현상 감시가 가능하며 지상우량계로는 파악이 불가능한 미계측유역을 통과하는 강우장의 이동 및 변동성 파악이 가능한 장점이 있지만 대기 중 존재하는 수상체로부터 반사되는 반사도를 사용하여 강우량을 산정하므로 시공간적 오차가 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 다변량 Copula 함수를 활용하여 레이더 강우에 존재하는 시공간적 오차를 규명하고 레이더 강우앙상블 생산기법을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형으로부터 생산된 레이더 강우앙상블은 통계적 효율기준 분석결과 우수한 모형성능을 확인하였으며 추가적으로 극치호우 및 강우시계열 패턴 분석결과 지상강우의 특성을 효과적으로 재현하는 것을 확인하였다.

This study estimated rainfall information more effectively by image signals through the information system of weather radar. Based on this, we suggest the way to estimate quantitative precipitation utilizing overlapped observation area of radars. We used the overlapped observation range of ground hyetometer observation network and radar observation network which are dense in our country. We chose the southern coast where precipitation entered from seaside is quite frequent and used Sungsan radar installed in Jeju island and Gudoksan radar installed in the southern coast area. We used the rainy season data generated in 2010 as the precipitation data. As a result, we found a reflectivity bias between two radar located in different area and developed the new quantitative precipitation estimation method using the bias. Estimated radar rainfall from this method showed the apt radar rainfall estimate than the other results from conventional method at overall rainfall field.
