In this study, digital climate maps with high-resolution (1km, daily) for the period of 1981 to 2020 were produced for the use as reference data within the procedures for statistical downscaling of climate change scenarios. Grid data for the six climate variables including maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, wind speed, relative humidity, solar radiation was created over Korean Peninsula using statistical downscaling model, so-called IGISRM (Improved GIS-based Regression Model), using global reanalysis data and in-situ observation. The digital climate data reflects topographical effects well in terms of representing general behaviors of observation. In terms of Correlation Coefficient, Slope of scatter plot, and Normalized Root Mean Square Error, temperature-related variables showed satisfactory performance while the other variables showed relatively lower reproducibility performance. These digital climate maps based on observation will be used to downscale future climate change scenario data as well as to get the information of gridded agricultural weather data over the whole Korean Peninsula including North Korea.

Future runoff analysis is influenced by climate change scenarios and hydrologic model parameters, with uncertainties. In this study, the uncertainty of future runoff analysis according to the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenario and hydrologic model parameters was analyzed. Among the SSP scenarios, the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios were used, and the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model was used as the hydrologic model. For the parameters of the SWAT model, a total of 11 parameter were optimized to the observed runoff data using SWAT-CUP. Then, uncertainty analysis of future estimated runoff compared to the observed runoff was performed using jensen-shannon divergence (JS-D), which can calculate the difference in distribution. As a result, uncertainty of future runoff was analyzed to be larger in SSP5-8.5 than in SSP2-4.5, and larger in the far future (2061-2100) than in the near future (2021-2060). In this study, the uncertainty of future runoff using future climate data according to the parameters of the hydrologic model is as follows. Uncertainty was greatly analyzed when parameters used observed runoff data in years with low flow rates compared to average years. In addition, the uncertainty of future runoff estimation was analyzed to be greater for the parameters of the period in which the change in runoff compared to the average year was greater.

Estimation of future land cover based on climate change scenarios is an important factor in climate change impact assessment and adaptation policy. This study estimated future land cover considering Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) using Scenario Generators. Based on the storylines of SSP1-3, future population and estimated urban area were adopted for the transition matrix, which contains land cover change trends of each land cover class. In addition, limits of land cover change and proximity were applied as spatial data. According to the estimated land cover maps from SSP1-3 in 2030, 2050, and 2100, respectively, urban areas near a road were expanded, but agricultural areas and forests were gradually decreased. More drastic urban expansion was seen in SSP3 compared to SSP1 and SSP2. These trends are similar with previous research with regard to storyline, but the spatial results were different. Future land cover can be easily adjusted based on this approach, if econometric forecasts for each land cover class added. However, this requires determination of econometric forecasts for each land cover class.

Recently, climate change has been regarded as a major cause of large-scale forest fires worldwide, and there is concern that more frequent and severe forest fires will occur due to the level of greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, the daily Keetch and Byram Drought Index (KBDI) of the Baekdudaegan in Chungcheong region including Sobaeksan, Songnisan, and Woraksan National Parks were calculated to assess effect of climate change on the forest fire potential- severity of annual maximum KBDI and frequency of high KBDI days. The present (2000~2019) and future KBDI(2021~2040, 2041~2060, 2081~2090) were calculated based on the meteorological observation and the ensemble regional climate model of the SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios with a spatial resolution of 1-km provided by Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA). Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, 6.5℃ increase and 14% precipitation increase are expected at the end of the 21st century. The severity of maximum daily KBDI increases by 48% (+50mm), and the frequency of high KBDI days (> 100 KBDI) increases more than 100 days, which means the high potential for serious forest fires. The analysis results showed that Songnisan National Park has the highest potential for forest fire risk and will continue to be high in intensity and frequency in the future. It is expected that the forest vulnerability of the Baekdudaegan in the Chungcheong region will greatly increase and the difficulty in preventing and suppressing forest fires will increase as the abundance of combustible materials increases along with climate changes.

It is uncertain how global climate change will influence future drought characteristics over the Korean peninsula. This study aims to project the future droughts using climate change and land use change scenarios over the Korean peninsula with the land surface modeling system, i.e., Weather Research and Forecasting Model Hydrological modeling system (WRF-Hydro). The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6 and 8.5 are used as future climate scenarios and the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs), specifically SSP2, is adopted for the land use scenario. The using Threshold Level Method (TLM), we identify future hydrological and ecological drought events with runoff and Net Primary Productivity (NPP), respectively, and assess drought characteristics of durations and intensities in different scenarios. Results show that the duration of drought is longer over RCP2.6-SSP2 for near future (2031-2050) and RCP8.5-SSP2 (2080-2099) for the far future for hydrological drought. On the other hand, RCP2.6-SSP2 for the far future and RCP8.5-SSP2 for the near future show longer duration for ecological drought. In addition, the drought intensities in both hydrological and ecological drought show different characteristics with the drought duration. The intensity of the hydrological droughts was greatly affected by threshold level methods and RCP2.6-SSP2 for far future shows the severest intensity. However, for ecological drought, the difference of the intensity among the threshold level is not significant and RCP2.6-SSP2 for near future and RCP2.6-SSP2 for near future show the severest intensity. This study suggests a possible future drought characteristics is in the Korea peninsula using combined climate and land use changes, which will help the community to understand and manage the future drought risks.

This study aims to assess the changes in crop water requirement of paddy and upland according to future climate and land use changes scenarios. Changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of temperature and precipitation are factors that lower the stability of agricultural water supply, and predicting the changes in crop water requirement in consideration of climate change can prevent the waste of limited water resources. Meanwhile, due to the recent changes in the agricultural product consumption structure, the area of paddy and upland has been changing, and it is necessary to consider future land use changes in establishing an appropriate water use plan. Climate change scenarios were derived from the four GCMs of the CMIP6, and climate data were extracted under two future scenarios, namely SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5. Future land use changes were predicted using the FLUS (Future Land Use Simulation) model. Crop water requirement in paddy was calculated as the sum of evapotranspiration and infiltration based on the water balance in a paddy field, and crop water requirement in upland was estimated as the evapotranspiration value by applying Penman-Monteith method. It was found that the crop water requirement for both paddy and upland increased as we go to the far future, and the degree of increase and variability by time showed different results for each GCM. The results derived from this study can be used as basic data to develop sustainable water resource management techniques considering future watershed environmental changes.

대기 중 온실가스 농도는 인간의 인위적 활동에 의해 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인하여 발생하는 기후변화는 극한 수문 사상에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히, 기후변화로 인한 강수 특성의 변화는 홍수, 가뭄, 태풍 등과 같은 극한사상의 변화로 이어지며, 급격한 도시화와 복잡한 사회기반시설물 등과 맞물려 더욱 취약한 홍수위험 문제로 대두된다. 기후변화에 따른 미래의 불확실한 변화에 적응하기 위하여 다양한 기후모델들이 개발되었고, 기후변화와 관련된 많은 응용 연구들이 기후모델에서 모의된 자료를 기반으로 미래를 전망하고 있다. IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 제6차 평가보고서(The 6th Assessment Report: AR6)에서는 사회경제 구조의 변화를 반영한 공통사회경제경로 시나리오(Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, SSP) 개념을 도입하였다. SSP 시나리오는 사회경제 변화를 기준으로 기후변화에 대한 완화와 노력에 따라 5개의 시나리오로 구별된다. 기상청 기후정보포털(http://www.climate.go.kr/)에서는 4개 조합의 시나리오(SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP2-RCP4.5, SSP3-RCP7.0, SSP5-RCP8.5) 결과가 제공된다. 자료는 동아시아 지역에 대해 생산한 자료로 25km의 공간해상도를 가지고 있으며, 현재모의기간(1979-2014, S_HIST)과 미래시나리오기간(2015-2020, S_SSP)으로 구분된다. 본 연구에서는 전술한 SSP-RCP 시나리오 조합 중 SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP5-RCP8.5 조합을 이용하여 광주지역 극한강우의 미래 변화를 분석하였다. 시나리오 기반 강우자료의 통계적 특성 분석을 위해 연최대 자료를 추출하여 경향성 및 변동성 분석을 수행하였고, 광주지역 강우 자료에 내재된 특성 변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다.

Analyzing the impact of climate change on the Korean Peninsula on the forest ecosystem is important for the management of subtropical forest bioresources. In this study, we collected location data and bioclimatic variables of the warm-temperate woody plant species, Myrica rubra and Cyzygium buxifolium, and applied the MaxEnt model based on the collected data to estimate the potential distribution area. Precipitation and temperature seasonality in the warmest quarter were the main environmental factors that determined the distribution of M. rubra, and the main environmental factors for S. buxifolium were precipitation in the warmest quarter and precipitation in the wettest quarter. The results of the MaxEnt model by administrative district, the M. rubra showed an area increase rate of 4.6 - 17.7% in the SSP2-4.5 climate change scenario and 13.8 - 30.5% in the SSP5-8.5 climate change scenario. S. buxifolium showed area increase rates of 4.8 - 32.2% in the SSP2-4.5 climate change scenario and 12.9 - 48.6% in the SSP5-8.5 climate change scenario. This study is meaningful in establishing a database and identifying future potential distribution areas of warm and subtropical plants by applying climate change scenarios.

인간 활동에 의해 발생한 전 지구적 기후변화는 다양한 분야에 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히, 군락을 기반으로 서식하는 동식물은 기후변화에 가장 취약하며, 대부분의 군락 위치가 북상하거나 멸종 위기에 처해있다. 2022년에 발표된 IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 보고서는 섭씨 5도 이상 상승하면 생물군의 60%가 멸종될 것이라고 보고하였으며, 고위도와 고도로 이동하여 봄철 식물 성장이 과거보다 더욱 가속화 될 것으로 예측하였다. 따라서, 온실가스 농도에 따른 전 지구적 기후변화 분석은 다양한 분야에서 지속가능한 완화 및 적응 정책을 결정하는데 필요하다. 본 연구는 SSP2-4.5와 SSP5-8.5를 이용하여 Koppen-Geiger의 기후대 분류에 따른 전 지구 규모(아시아, 유럽, 남아메리카, 북아메리카, 오세아니아, 아프리카)의 과거 및 미래 기후대에 대한 변화를 분석하였다. 과거 기간의 기후대를 추정하기 위해 25개 CMIP6(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6) GCM(General circulation model)의 월 단위 강수량과 표면 온도를 사용하였으며 6개의 기간으로 구분하여 기후대 변화를 비교하였다. 더 나아가, 미래 기후대를 예측하기 위해 SSP(Shared Socioeconomic Pathways)2-4.5와 SSP5-8.5의 미래 기후변수를 사용하였으며, 전망 기간을 7개로 구분하여 전망 기간의 기후대를 변화를 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과로는 온실가스 농도가 높은 시나리오에서는 북아메리카, 아시아, 유럽의 툰드라와 영구동토층이 가파르게 감소하였으며, 온대 기후 중 습한 아열대 기후대의 면적이 급속도로 증가하였다. 더 나아가, 남아메리카의 경우 대륙성 기후대가 지속적으로 감소하는 반면에 열대 우림 기후대는 증가한다. 오세아니아의 미래 기후대는 몬순의 영향을 받는 아열대 기후대가 증가하고 열대 우림은 증가할 것으로 예측하였다.
