가뭄은 적시에 경보해야 하는 홍수와 달리 진행속도가 느리고 시간적으로 대처할 여유가 있어 진행중일지라도 미리 감지만 한다면 그 피해를 최소화할 수 있다. 이로 인해 미국 등 수문기상 선진국에서는 수문기상 장기예보자료로부터 가뭄전망정보 생산기술을 개발하였으며, 특히 가뭄전망의 정확도 향상을 위해 여러 통계적 보정기법을 적용하고 있다. 국내의 경우 기상청에서 가뭄전망을 목적으로 2011년에 수치예보모델을 이용하여 가뭄전망정보를 생산한바 있으나, 전망정보의 불확실성 문제로 가뭄예보에 활용하는데 한계가 있어 이를 개선할 수 있는 기술개발이 요구되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기후예측자료를 이용하여 가뭄전망정보 생산기술을 개발하고 정확도 개선을 위해 베이지안 기법을 연계하였다. GloSea5 (Global Seasonal forecast model 5) 장기예보자료를 이용하였으며, 베이지안 기법을 통해 과거 관측자료에 대한 사전분포, 모델의 전망정보로부터 우도함수를 유도하여 최종 사후분포를 추정하였다. 베이지안 기법 적용 전 후에 따른 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 관측자료 기반의 가뭄지수와의 비교분석을 통해 선행기간 및 계절별 가뭄예측 성능을 평가하였으며, 실제 가뭄기간 동안에 가뭄의 재현성을 지역별로 분석하였다. 장기예보자료만을 활용한 기존 가뭄전망에서는 관측 자료가 포함된 1개월 전망에서도 불확실성이 매우 높았지만 베이지안 기법 적용으로 가뭄전망의 정확도가 크게 개선되었다. 특히, 1, 2개월 전망의 시계열 가뭄지수가 관측기반의 가뭄지수의 거동과 매우 유사하게 나타났으며, 지역별로도 베이지안 기법 적용시 실제 가뭄피해 상황을 적절히 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 국내 가뭄예보에 있어 기후예측정보를 단순활용하기 보다는 베이지안과 같은 통계적 보정기법을 이용하여 가뭄전망정보를 생산하는 것이 바람직하며, 본 연구에서는 가뭄예보업무에 활용될 수 있도록 베이지안 기법에 대한 검증 및 평가를 지속적으로 수행할 계획이다.

This study developed a climate informed Bayesian nonstationary frequency model which allows us to forecast seasonal summer rainfall at Nakdong River. We constructed a 37-year summer rainfall data set from 10 weather stations within Nakdong river basin, and two climate indices from sea surface temperature (SST) and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) were derived through correlation analysis. The selected SST and OLR have been widely acknowledged as a climate driver for summer rainfall. The developed model was applied first to the 2010-year summer rainfall (888.1 mm) in order to assure ourself. We demonstrated model performance by comparing posterior distributions. It was confirmed that the proposed model is able to produce a reasonable forecast. The forecasted value is about 858.2 mm, and the difference between forecast and observation is about 30 mm. As the second case study, 2011-year summer rainfall forecast was made using an observed winter SSTs and an assumed 50% value of OLRs. The forecasted value is 967.7 mm and associated exceedance probability over average summer rainfall 680 mm is 92.9%. In addition, 50-year return period for summer rainfall was projected through the nonstationary frequency model. An exceedance probability over 1,400 mm corresponding to the 50-year return level is about 73.7%.

In this study, the future expected discharges are analyzed for Daecheong and Yongdam Dam Watershed in Geum River watershed using A1B scenario based RCM with 27 km spatial resolutions from Korea Meteorological Agency and SWAT model. The direct use of GCM and RCM data for water resources impact assessment is practically hard because the spatial and temporal scales are different. In this study, the problems of spatial and temporal scales were settled by the spatial and temporal downscaling from watershed scale to weather station scale and from monthly to daily of RCM grid data. To generate the detailed hydrologic scenarios of the watershed scale, the multi-site non-stationary downscaling method was used to examine the fluctuations of rainfall events according to the future climate change with considerations of non-stationary. The similarity between simulation and observation results of inflows and discharges at the Yongdam Dam and Daecheong Dam was respectively 90.1% and 84.3% which shows a good agreement with observed data using SWAT model from 2001 to 2006. The analysis period of climate change was selected for 80 years from 2011 to 2090 and the discharges are increased 6% in periods of 2011~2030. The seasonal patterns of discharges will be different from the present precipitation patterns because the simulated discharge of summer was decreased and the discharge of fall was increased.

The objective of this study is to present temporal-spatial variation of water resources on climate change impacts using the IPCC SRES A2 scenario and dynamical downscaling of the results (using the MM5 model with a resolution of 27km by 27km) at 139 sub-basins in Korea. The variation of runoff shows differences in the change of rate according to the each sub-basins and analysis durations. It has increased in the sub-basins located in Han river basin and east part of it, the other basins have decreased. In seasonal analysis, runoff in autumn and winter have increased, while in spring and summer have decreased. The results of frequency analyzing classified runoff(Low flow(Q$\leq$5mm), Normal flow(5$\geq$100mm)) show that low flow increase in most of the sub-basins for 2031-2060 and 2061-2090. In the case of high flow, it have higher frequency ranging from -100% to 500% than low flow. Regardless of the variation of mean runoff, maximum discharge appeared to be increase in process of time. The regression method is used to figure out the relationship between the rate of runoff change and mean temperature, mean precipitation under A2 scenario. The mean actual evapotranspirations from the regression equations increased by 3.4$\sim$5.3% for the change of $1^{\circ}C$. Also, for the precipitation change of $\pm$10%, runoff variety range is -18.2$\sim$+12.4% in Han River, -21.6$\sim$+14.6% in Nakdong River, -17.5$\sim$+11.5% in Gum River, -18.4$\sim$+10.6% in Sumjin River, -19.9$\sim$+12.7% Youngsan River basin.
