신뢰성 있는 수개월 선행시간의 댐 유입량 예측은 가뭄 상황으로 진입하는 시점에서 효율적인 댐 운영을 위해 필수적이다. 최근 기후변화로 인한 강수량의 경년 및 계절 내 변동성이 증가됨에 따라서 기존의 과거 통계치를 이용한 댐 운영 의사결정은 많은 도전을 받고 있다. 최근 엘리뇨-남방진동(ENSO) 등의 전구기후지수와 지역수문기후와의 원격상관성을 활용하여 수개월 이후에 대한 수문조건을 통계적으로 예측하기 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 또한 매월 제공되는 역학적 예측모형으로부터 생산된 월단위 예측정보를 유량예측을 위한 유역모형에 활용하기 위하여 편이보정 및 상세화 기법이 개발되어 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 댐 유입량 예측을 위해 SWAT 모형을 선정하였고 최장 6개월 선행 강수량 및 기온의 예측을 위해서 하이브리드 계절예측 시스템을 활용하였다. 이 시스템은 전지구역학적 예측모형의 자료를 편이보정을 거쳐 직접적으로 사용하는 단순 편이보정(Simple Bias Correction, SBC) 방법에 회귀모형을 이용하여 통계적인 방법으로 예측자료를 생산하는 전구기후지수 기반의 Climate Index Regression (CIR), 실시간 재분석자료 기반의 Observation-based Moving Window Regression (MWR-Obs), 역학적 예측모형의 예측자료 기반의 Moving Window Regression (MWR) 방법을 통합하여 사용하고 있다. 충주댐을 대상으로 우선 관측자료를 이용하여 SWAT 모형을 검 보정한 후, 관측기간에 대하여 하이브리드 시스템에 의한 예측 기상자료를 적용하여 모의된 댐 유입량과 관측 유입량과의 비교를 통해 예측성을 평가하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 기후정보를 활용하여 댐 유입량 예측에 있어서 예측성을 높이고자 시도되었으며, 도출된 결과는 향후 충주댐 운영에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

최근 이상기후로 인한 국부적인 혹은 광역적인 가뭄이 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 추세이며 발생횟수 뿐 아니라 가뭄 심도 및 지속기간이 과거보다 크게 증가하여 그에 따른 피해가 커질 것으로 예측되고 있다. 특히, 2014~2015년도의 유례없는 가뭄으로 인해 저수지 용수공급이 제한되면서 많은 농가들이 피해를 입었다. 본 연구의 목적은 전국 농업용 저수지를 대상으로 기상청 3개월 예보자료를 활용 할 수 있는 농업용 저수지 저수율 다중선형 회귀 모형을 개발하여 저수율 전망정보를 생산하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 전국에 적용 가능한 저수율 다중선형 회귀 모형개발을 위해 5개의 기상요소(강수량, 최고기온, 최저기온, 평균기온, 평균풍속)와 관측 저수지 저수율을 활용했다. 기상자료는 2002년부터 2017년까지의 기상청 63개 지상관측소로부터 기상관측자료를 수집하였다. 본 연구에서는 저수율 전망 단계를 세 단계로 나누었다. 첫 번째 단계로 농어촌공사에서 전국 511개 용수구역을 대상으로 군집분석 및 의사결정나무 분석을 통해 제시한 65개 대표저수지를 대상으로 기상자료 및 관측 저수율 자료를 이용하여 다중선형 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 수집한 기상요소와 저수율을 독립변수로 하여 월별 회귀식을 산정한 결과 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.51~0.95로 나타났다. 두 번째 단계로 대표저수지의 회귀분석 결과를 전국의 저수지로 확대하기 위해 나이브 베이즈 분류법을 적용하여 전국 3098개의 저수지를 65의 군집으로 분류하고 각각의 군집에 해당되는 월별 회귀식을 산정하였다. 마지막으로 전국 저수지로 산정된 회귀식과 농업 가뭄 예측을 위해 기상청의 GS5(Global Seasonal Forecasting System 5) 3개월 예보자료를 수집하여 회귀식에 적용해 2017년 전국 저수지의 3개월 저수율 전망정보를 생산하였다. 본 연구의 전국 저수지 군집결과 기반의 저수율 전망기술은 2017년도 관측 저수율과 비교한 결과 유의한 상관성을 나타냈으며 이 결과는 추후 농업용 저수지의 물 공급 및 농업가뭄 전망 자료로서 이용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recent studies have shown that Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is modulated by Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) during the boreal winter; MJO becomes more active and predictable during the easterly phase of QBO (EQBO) than the westerly phase (WQBO). Despite growing evidences, climate models fail to capture the QBO-MJO connection. One of the possible reasons is a weak static stability change in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) by neglecting QBO-induced ozone change in the model. Here, we investigate the possible impact of the ozone-radiative feedback in the tropical UTLS on the QBO-MJO connection by integrating the Global Seasonal Forecasting System 5 (GloSea5) model. A set of experiments is conducted by prescribing either the climatological ozone or the observed ozone at a given year for the EQBO-MJO event in January 2006. The realistic ozone improves the temperature simulation in the UTLS. However, its impacts on the MJO are not evident. The MJO phase and amplitude do not change much when the ozone is prescribed with observation. While it may suggest that the ozone-radiative feedback plays a rather minor role in the QBO-MJO connection, it could also result from model biases in UTLS temperature and not-well organized MJO in the model.

가뭄의 계절적 예측성을 개선하기 위해서는 대기-지면-해양의 상호 작용이 현실적으로 모의할 수 있는 지구 기후 예보 모델의 개선이 필수적이다. 제한적인 기후 예보 모델의 예측성으로 인하여 다중 기후 모델들의 다중 앙상블 계절 예보 시스템이 제안되었다. 2008년에 제안된 북미 다중 모델 다중 앙상블 시스템(North American Multimodel Multiensemble System; NMME)은 다양한 모델 개발팀의 참여로 현재까지 운영되면서 계절적 예측성 연구에 큰 이바지를 하였다. 본 연구에서는 NMME 프로젝트에 참여하는 기후 예보 모델들의 북방 여름철 근지표면 온도과 강우량의 예측성을 진단하고 이들의 상관 관계의 강도를 관측데이터와 비교 분석하였다. 대부분의 NMME 모델들에서는 관측데이터에서 보다 강한 음의 상관 관계를 보였다. 이런 근지표면 온도와 강우량의 강한 상관 관계로 우수한 근지 표면 온도 예보는 각각의 해마다 그 역할이 다른 것을 발견되었다. 예를 들어 가문 여름에는 우수한 근지표면 온도 예보가 강우량 예보에 도움이 되고 강우량이 많은 여름에는 우수한 근지표면 온도 예보는 오히려 강우량 예측성을 제한하게 된다. 따라서 기존의 기후 예보 모델들에서 근지표면 온도와 강우량의 상관관계를 사실적으로 나타낼 수 있도록 모델 개선이 요구된다. 마지막으로 관측데이터와 기후 모델데이터에서 태평양과 대서양의 해수면 온도와 미국의 북방 여름철 날씨의 관계를 비교하였다. 근지표면 온도과 강우량에 대한 제한적 예측성에 비해, 대부분의 NMME 기후 예보 모델들에서 해수면 온도의 예측기술은 우수함을 발견하였고 몇몇 모델들에서는 미국의 북방 여름철 기후에 영향력을 주는 대서양과 태평양의 지역까지 잘 모사하는 것을 발견하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 보다 우수한 기후 예보 기술을 위해 앙상블 평균 예보값만이 아닌 NMME의 계절적 예보를 선택적인 사용이 필요함을 제안하였고 앞으로 북미 대륙 뿐만이 아니라 유럽-아시아의 계절적 이상 기후 예측성에 대한 연구 필요성을 강조하였다.

This paper aims to provide a detailed introduction to the concept of the Ratio of Predictable Component (RPC) and the Signal-to-Noise Paradox. Then, we derive insights from them by exploring the paradoxical features by conducting a seasonal and regional analysis through ensemble expansion in KMA's climate prediction system (GloSea). We also provide an explanation of the ensemble generation method, with a specific focus on stochastic physics. Through this study, we can provide the predictability limits of our forecasting system, and find way to enhance it. On a global scale, RPC reaches a value of 1 when the ensemble is expanded to a maximum of 56 members, underlining the significance of ensemble expansion in the climate prediction system. The feature indicating RPC paradoxically exceeding 1 becomes particularly evident in the winter North Atlantic and the summer North Pacific. In the Siberian Continent, predictability is notably low, persisting even as the ensemble size increases. This region, characterized by a low RPC, is considered challenging for making reliable predictions, highlighting the need for further improvement in the model and initialization processes related to land processes. In contrast, the tropical ocean demonstrates robust predictability while maintaining an RPC of 1. Through this study, we have brought to attention the limitations of potential predictability within the climate prediction system, emphasizing the necessity of leveraging predictable signals with high RPC values. We also underscore the importance of continuous efforts aimed at improving models and initializations to overcome these limitations.

A long-range prediction system of tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) has been operated in the National Typhoon Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration since 2012. The model forecasts the spatial distribution of TC tracks averaged over the period June~October. In this study, we separately developed TC prediction models for summer (June~August) and autumn (September~November) period based on the current operating system. To perform the three-month WNP TC activity prediction procedure readily, we modified the shell script calling in environmental variables automatically. The user can apply the model by changing these environmental variables of namelist parameter in consideration of their objective. The validations for the two seasons demonstrate the great performance of predictions showing high pattern correlations between hindcast and observed TC activity. In addition, we developed a post-processing script for deducing TC activity in the Korea emergency zone from final forecasting map and its skill is discussed.

The Global Ocean Data Assimilation and Prediction System (GODAPS) in operation at the KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) is introduced. GODAPS consists of ocean model, ice model, and 3-d variational ocean data assimilation system. GODAPS assimilates conventional and satellite observations for sea surface temperature and height, observations of sea-ice concentration, as well as temperature and salinity profiles for the ocean using a 24-hour data assimilation window. It finally produces ocean analysis fields with a resolution of 0.25 ORCA (tripolar) grid and 75-layer in depth. This analysis is used for providing a boundary condition for the atmospheric model of the KMA Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5 (GloSea5) in addition to monitoring on the global ocean and ice. For the purpose of evaluating the quality of ocean analysis produced by GODAPS, a one-year data assimilation experiment was performed. Assimilation of global observing system in GODAPS results in producing improved analysis and forecast fields with reduced error in terms of RMSE of innovation and analysis increment. In addition, comparison with an unassimilated experiment shows a mostly positive impact, especially over the region with large oceanic variability.

Currently, the floodplains of major rivers are transforming into various types of waterfront spaces according to the increase in leisure activities and improved accessibility. In general, waterfront activities in river channels tend to be concentrated in summer, and the waterfront activities during this period directly affect water quality. Accordingly, it is necessary to accurately compare and evaluate the characteristics and water quality of waterfront activities during the period when waterfront activities are concentrated. In this study, the following research was conducted to compare and analyze the current status of waterfront activities of users of waterfront areas and the water quality of waterfront areas. First, three waterfront areas were selected for investigation using the information from the Ministry of Environment's water quality measurement network. Second, a survey was conducted on the satisfaction and types of waterfront activities targeting users of waterfront areas. Third, water quality grades were calculated based on monthly water quality measurement factors and compared. Fourth, statistical analysis (one-way analysis of variance) was conducted to see if there was a significant difference in water quality characteristics between periods of high waterfront activity and periods of low waterfront activity using water quality measurement data for the last 5 years. As a result of this analysis, the following conclusions were drawn in this study. First, the use of waterfront activities was investigated in the order of camping, water skiing, fishing, swimming, and rafting. Second, satisfaction factors for waterfront activities were investigated in the order of activity convenience, water quality, waterlandscape, transportation access convenience, and temperature. Third, it was found that satisfaction with water quality in waterfront areas was generally unsatisfactory regardless of the water quality grade presented by the competent authority. Fourth, as a result of comparing the water quality measurement network data of the Ministry of Environment by water quality grade, generally good grades were found, and in particular, there was a difference in grade frequency by season in the BOD category. Fifth, as a result of statistical analysis (one-way ANOVA) of water quality monitoring network data by season, there were statistically significant differences in COD, BOD, TP, and TOC except for DO. Considering the results of these studies, it is judged that it is necessary to prepare a comprehensive management system for water quality improvement in the waterfront zone and to improve water quality during periods of high waterfront activity, and to prepare a water quality forecasting system for waterfront areas in the future.

This study compared several reference evapotranspiration estimated using eight methods such as FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (FAO PM), Hamon, Hansen, Hargreaves-Samani, Jensen-Haise, Makkink, Priestley-Taylor, and Thornthwaite. In addition, by analyzing the monthly deviations of the results by the FAO PM and the remaining seven methods, monthly optimized correction coefficients were derived and the improvement effect was evaluated. These methods were applied to 73 automated synoptic observation system (ASOS) stations of the Korea Meteorological Administration, where the climatological data are available at least 20 years. As a result of evaluating the reference evapotranspiration by applying the default coefficients of each method, a large fluctuation happened depending on the method, and the Hansen method was relatively similar to FAO PM. However, the Hamon and Jensen-Haise methods showed more large values than other methods in summer, and the deviation from FAO PM method was also large significantly. When comparing based on the region, the comparison with FAO PM method provided that the reference evapotranspiration estimated by other methods was overestimated in most regions except for eastern coastal areas. Based on the deviation from the FAO PM method, the monthly correction coefficients were derived for each station. The monthly deviation average that ranged from -46 mm to +88 mm before correction was improved to -11 mm to +1 mm after correction, and the annual average deviation was also significantly reduced by correction from -393 mm to +354 mm (before correction) to -33 mm to +9 mm (after correction). In particular, Hamon, Hargreaves-Samani, and Thornthwaite methods using only temperature data also produced results that were not significantly different from FAO PM after correction. It can be also useful for forecasting long-term reference evapotranspiration using temperature data in climate change scenarios or predicting evapotranspiration using monthly or seasonal temperature forecasted values.
