The diversity of observed hydrologic data and the development of geographic information system leads significant progress for developing distributed runoff models in the world. One of the typical examples is TOPMODEL, but the spatial coverage of its application Is limited on small headwater basins. The purpose of this study attempts to overcome its limitation and consequently develops a semi-distributed TOPMODEL. The developed model is composed of two components: a watershed runoff component for a lumped representation of hydrologic runoff process on the catchment scale and a kinematic wave type hydraulic channel routing component lot routing the catchment outflows. The application basin is the $2,703km^2$ upper Soyang dam site and several daily and hourly events are selected for model calibrations and verifications. The model parameters are estimated on 1990 daily event. The model performance on correlation coefficient between observed and computed flows are above 0.90 for the verification events. It is concluded that the developed model in this study can be used for flood analysis in large drainage basins.

The modified TOPMODEL of two storage systems has been integrated to the generalized assumptions of decreasing hydraulic conductivity to vertical direction. Three different recharge functions were introduced to explore the impact of the macropore flow to vortical direction, the storage at the surface zone and the relative storage deficit of the soil matrix. Combinations of these approaches provide 30 type of the model structure for the hillslope hydrology. Developed models have been applied to several hydrologic events at the Sulmachun watershed. The performance evaluation with the Monte carlo simulation suggests that the exponential function of transmissivity reduction should be appropriate form for the physically -based hydrologic simulation on the Sulmachun watershed. It has been shown that the recharge function of macropore flow contributes to improve the predictability of the generalized version of modified TOPMODEL.

This study investigated the applicability of generalized TOPMODEL approach which introduces the power law of decreasing transimissivity with depth instead of the traditional exponential decreasing function. The 50m digital elevation model(DEM) of Dongkog subwatershed at Wichon Test Watershed was used to perform runoff simulation. Random number generation algorithm was integrated into the calibration process for the reliable of model performance. General power law version of TOPMODEL with exponent 2 and 3 showed higher simulation efficiency than other the approaches. This results from the fact that the power law models with exponent 2 and 3 can represent the soil characteristics of study area better than other models.

In this study, a topography based hydrologic model (TOPMODEL) was tested on the Anseong-cheon watershed. Pit in watershed was removed by liner trend surface interpolator. The DTM Analysis program is used to derived a distribution of ln($a/tan{\beta}$) values from DEM (Digital Elevation Model) using the MDF (Multiple Direction Flow) algorithm of Quinn et al (1995). Current TOPMODEL program limits are number of time step, ln($a/tan{\beta}$) increment, delay histogram ordinate and size of subcatchment pixel maps. Therefore, TOPMODEL is not suitable for application of large watershed. Muskingum method and watershed division enhance grid pixel resolution for rainfall-runoff simulation accuracy.

TOPMODEL은 이론적으로 $500km^2$ 정도의 면적을 갖는 유역에 적용 가능한 모형으로 국내연구의 대부분이 단일 홍수사상과 소유역에 적용하여 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 유역면적이 $289.8km^2$인중규모의 천천유역에 적용하여 연속유출의 모의와 중규모 유역에 대한 적용 가능성을 분석하고자 한다. HyGIS-TOPMODEL을 이용하여 연도별(2002${\sim}$2005년)로 모의된 수문곡선은 유출 패턴이 관측치와 유사하였고, 첨두유량과 첨두시간 모두 적절한 결과를 나타냈다. 유출용적 오차율은 -32.70${\sim}$4.59%로 모의유량이 다소 적게 산정되어 평갈수기와 홍수기로 구분하여 비교한 결과 평갈수기의 유출오차가 -65.49%로 전체 유출량에 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 정확성을 분석한 결과 일치도는 0.84${\sim}$0.96, 상관계수는 2004년을 제외하면 0.82 이상으로 관측치와 근접하게 모의했다. HyGIS-TOPMODEL을 중규모인 천천유역에 적용하여 모의한 결과 연속유출에 대한 수문곡선의 전체적인 패턴이 양호하고 통계분석결과 재현성이 우수하였다. 대상유역 고유의 매개변수 산정에는 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 검토되며, 국내의 중규모 유역에 대한 적용도 가능하다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 효율적인 매개변수 추정 방법인 Isolated-Speciation Particle Swarm Optimization(ISPSO)와 불확실도 분석 기법인 GLUE를 결합한 ISPSO-GLUE의 개념을 도입하였다. 임의 매개변수 추출을 방식인 GLUE 기법과 ISPSO-GLUE와의 효율성 비교를 위해 분포형 강우-유출모형인 TOPMODEL에 적용하였으며, 추정된 매개변수에 대한 모의 유량치를 이용하여 성능을 비교하였다. 연구대상지는 Texas의 $1000{\times}2000km^2$ 크기 내외의 두 유역을 택하였으며, 2002-2007년을 보정기간으로 하고, 2008-2013년을 검증기간으로 설정하였다. 불확실도 분석에 10개의 TOPMODEL 매개변수를 이용하고, 우도함수로는 Nash-Sutcliffe(NS) Coefficient이용하여 0.6이상 기준으로 행동모형을 구분하였다. 분석 결과 모수 추정성능면에서, 누적 최대 NS 값과 행동 모형의 개수는 전반적으로 ISPSO-GLUE에서 큰 값을 보였으나, 불확실도 구간에 속하는 관측치는 GLUE에서 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 이는 ISPSO-GLUE의 편향된 모수 추정으로 불확실도 구간이 작아지며, 포함되는 관측치가 GLUE에 비하여 적게 되는 것으로 확인되었다. ISPSO-GLUE의 개선을 통하여 TOPMODEL에 대한 적용성을 증진시키고, 값비싼 수문모형에 대한 매개변수 추정에 더 큰 효과를 가져올 것으로 기대된다.

Hydrological model which is proper to watershed characteristics and analysis purpose must be used when we analyze water resources. But, although proper model is used, if objectivity and reasonability of data is low it is difficult to get good results from the model. So it is very important to decide the data which is used in selected model and estimate parameters by using the applied data. In this study, temporal and spatial data was constructed as standard data of test site and stored in HyGIS (Hydrological Geographic Information System) DB. A system which extracts temporal and spatial data required to run hydrological model from HyGIS DB by connecting TOPMODEL with HyGIS was developed. In this system, we can extract temporal and spatial data which is needed to run TOPMODEL from HyGIS DB and estimate model parameters by using genetic algorithm. We found that HyGIS and the system connected with TOPMODEL was effective to make temporal and spatial data used in TOPMODEL and estimate model parameters. From this study, we suggested the possibility that HyGIS could be applied properly to another hydrological model, too.

The TOPMODEL Topographic Index (TI) is widely used to predict the spatial distribution of soil moisture contents, The TI is one of terrain indices which are frequently used in spatially distributed environmental modelings. There have been studies on the evaluation and improvement of the TI. Most of them. however, have focused on only the modified multiple flow direction algorithm and algorithms for slope calculation have been paid little attention, In this research, we attempted to improve the TI by utilizing the infinitive flow direction (Dinf) algorithm and Horn slope algorithm. Then we attempt to analyze and evaluate the influence of the improved TI on hydrological responses of the TOPMODEL As a result. our approaching using the infinitive flow direction (Dinf) and Horn slope algorithm made the TI better than the multiple flow direction (MD8) - the multiple descent slope (MDS) algorithm. However, the model efficiency of discharges at the outlet was not increased. Our research may provide an insight to choose appropriate algorithms for calculating flow direction and slope in spatially distributed environmental modelings.

TOPMODEL, semi-distributed hydrological model, is frequently applied to predict the amount of discharge, main flow pathways and water quality in a forested catchment, especially in a spatial dimension. TOPMODEL is a kind of conceptual model, not physical one. The main concept of TOPMODEL is constituted by the topographic index and soil transmissivity. Two components can be used for predicting the surface and subsurface contributing area. This study is conducted for the validation of applicability of TOPMODEL at small forested catchments in Korea. The experimental area is located at Gwangneung forest operated by Korea Forest Research Institute, Gyeonggi-do near Seoul metropolitan. Two study catchments in this area have been working since 1979 ; one is the natural mature deciduous forest(22.0 ha) about 80 years old and the other is the planted young coniferous forest(13.6 ha) about 22 years old. The data collected during the two events in July 1995 and June 2000 at the mature deciduous forest and the three events in July 1995 and 1999, August 2000 at the young coniferous forest were used as the observed data set, respectively. The topographic index was calculated using $10m{\times}10m$ resolution raster digital elevation map(DEM). The distribution of the topographic index ranged from 2.6 to 11.1 at the deciduous and 2.7 to 16.0 at the coniferous catchment. The result of the optimization using the forecasting efficiency as the objective function showed that the model parameter, m and the mean catchment value of surface saturated transmissivity, $lnT_0$ had a high sensitivity. The values of the optimized parameters for m and InT_0 were 0.034 and 0.038; 8.672 and 9.475 at the deciduous and 0.031, 0.032 and 0.033; 5.969, 7.129 and 7.575 at the coniferous catchment, respectively. The forecasting efficiencies resulted from the simulation using the optimized parameter were comparatively high ; 0.958 and 0.909 at the deciduous and 0.825, 0.922 and 0.961 at the coniferous catchment. The observed and simulated hyeto-hydrograph shoed that the time of lag to peak coincided well. Though the total runoff and peakflow of some events showed a discrepancy between the observed and simulated output, TOPMODEL could overall predict a hydrologic output at the estimation error less than 10 %. Therefore, TOPMODEL is useful tool for the prediction of runoff at an ungaged forested catchment in Korea.
