The exponential and the gamma distributions have been the traditional models for drought duration and drought intensity data, respectively. However, it is often assumed that the drought duration and drought intensity are independent, which is not true in practice. In this paper, an application of the bivariate gamma exponential distribution is provided to drought data from Nebraska. The exact distributions of R=X+Y, P=XY and W=X/(X+Y) and the corresponding moment properties are derived when X and Y follow this bivariate distribution.

최근 기후변화가 심화됨에 따라 가뭄으로 유발되는 피해가 증가하고 있다. 현재 국내의 가뭄 강도를 결정하기 위해 표준강수지수(Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI)를 기준으로 분류를 수행하고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 최근 6개월 동안의 누적강수량을 기준(SPI-6)으로 관심, 주의, 경계, 심각의 기상학적 가뭄의 강도를 분류하고 있다. 그러나 강수량만을 기초자료로 활용하기 때문에 가뭄 강도를 분류하는 데 한계가 있다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SPI에 따른 국내 기상학적 가뭄 예･경보 기준의 한계점을 극복하고자 국가가뭄정보포털(National Drought Information Portal, NDIP)에서 제공하는 비상급수 피해자료를 수집하여 가뭄의 강도를 분류하였다. 그리고 SPI의 인자인 강수량과 증발산량 산정에 사용되는 인자인 온도, 습도 등을 min-max 정규화로 지수화한 후 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA) 기반으로 각 인자들에 대한 계수를 산정하였다. 비상급수에 따른 가뭄의 강도를 분류하여 종속변수로 활용하고, GA에 의한 각 기상인자들의 계수를 활용하여 새로운 가뭄 강도 분류 지수(Drought Severity Classification Index, DSCI)를 도출하고자 하였다. DSCI를 도출한 후 누적분포함수를 활용하여 분위별 경계를 강도 단계 분류 기준으로 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 DSCI를 활용하면 기존 SPI보다 가뭄 강도를 정확하게 분류할 수 있어, 재난 담당자들의 의사결정을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A flash drought is a rapid-onset drought that develops over a short period of time as weather and environmental factors change rapidly, unlike general droughts, due to meteorological abnormalities. Abnormally high evapotranspiration rates and rapid declines in soil moisture increase vegetation stress. In addition, crop yields may decrease due to flash droughts during crop growth and may damage agricultural and economic ecosystems. In this study, Flash Drought Intensity Index (FDII) based on soil moisture data from Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) was used to analyze flash drought. FDII, which is calculated using soil moisture percentile, is expressed by multiplying two factors: the rate of intensification and the drought severity. FDII was developed for domestic flash drought events from 2014 to 2018. The flash drought that occurred in 2018, Chungcheongbuk-do showed the highest FDII. FDII was higher in heat wave flash drought than in precipitation deficit flash drought. The results of this study show that FDII is reliable flash drought analysis tool and can be applied to quantitatively analyze the characteristics of flash drought in South Korea.

In an effort to identify quantitatively historical drought conditions, and to evaluate their temporal and spatial variability , two commonly used drougth indices, the standardized precipitation index, SPI by Mckee and the Palmer drought severity index. PDSI were calculated from 54 meteorological stations, SPI was evaluated for different time scales, 3 to 48 months. As the compjtational spans for SPI increase from 3 to 48 months the frequency and intensity of drought decrease, but the duration of drought increase. When monthly and ten-day PDSIs were compared, the frequency and duratin of drought were almost equal and the intensity of drought differ slightly. The three month SPI has the advatage to detect the drought resulting from short-term shortage of rainfall, while PDSI had the advantage to detect the state of drought resulting from cumulated shortage of rainfall. The period-frequency spectrum analyses at Kangnung statino showed that the maximum value of relative frequency was 24.4% when the period was 5.2months, and the 6month SPI has most similar trends to PDSI.

The drought is one of the extreme natural disasters observed in any climate zone and it is due to the deficiency in moisture. The flash drought is identified recently as a subdivision of drought and it is an extreme event distinguished by sudden onset and rapid intensification of drought conditions with severe impacts. The main cause for the flash drought is coupled situation due to precipitation deficit and high evapotranspiration. Hence, heat waves plays major role in identification of flash drought. Therefore, this study focused on identifying changes in distribution of heat waves for Korean Peninsula. The daily maximum and minimum temperature data were used in this study. The heat wave, heat wave intensity and heat wave intensity index were derived. The results of the study would be an input for the future studies on identification of flash drought in Korean Peninsula.

본 연구에서는 최근 발생한 2014~2015 가뭄 사상을 보다 정확하게 분석하기 위해 삼변량 Copula 함수를 도입하여 연구를 진행하였다. 기존 연구에서는 일반적으로 가뭄 분석시 이변량(가뭄 지속시간, 심도)를 활용한 연구가 다수 진행되었다. 그러나 최근 강우자료의 패턴을 살펴보면 두 변량 이외의 가뭄 강도가 중요한 인자로 평가되어 이를 함께 고려한 삼변량 Copula 분석을 수행하였으며, 기상청 관측소 중 서울 관측소를 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 기본적으로, 이변량 빈도해석 결과에 비해 삼변량 해석 결과는 동일한 가뭄 사상에 대해서 다소 증가된 재현기간을 나타내는 것으로 파악됐다. 이와 더불어, Gumbel Copula 함수의 경우 Student t Copula 함수보다 가뭄 위험도 평가 시 다소 과대 추정하는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 삼변량 빈도해석 시 고려되는 Copula 함수의 선택이 가뭄의 재현기간을 추정하는데 있어 매우 민감한 사항으로 평가되었다.

This study implemented the prediction of drought properties (number of drought events, intensity, duration) using the user-oriented systematical procedures of downscaling climate change scenarios based the multiple global climate models (GCMs), AIMS (APCC Integrated Modeling Solution) program. The drought properties were defined and estimated with Effective Drought Index (EDI). The optimal 10 models among 29 GCMs were selected, by the estimation of the spatial and temporal reproducibility about the five climate change indices related with precipitation. In addition, Simple Quantile Mapping (SQM) as the downscaling technique is much better in describing the observed precipitation events than Spatial Disaggregation Quantile Delta Mapping (SDQDM). Even though the procedure was systematically applied, there are still limitations in describing the observed spatial precipitation properties well due to the offset of spatial variability in multi-model ensemble (MME) analysis. As a result, the farther into the future, the duration and the number of drought generation will be decreased, while the intensity of drought will be increased. Regionally, the drought at the central regions of the Korean Peninsula is expected to be mitigated, while that at the southern regions are expected to be severe.

The drought has occurred from the past, and has caused a lot of damage. It is important to analyze the past droughts and predict them in the future. In this study, the temperature and precipitation of the past and the future from climate change RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios were analyzed for Seosan and Boryeong in the western region of Chungnam Province, which is considered as a drought-prone area on the Korean Peninsula. Comparing Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Effective Drought Index (EDI) based on the past droughts, EDI was verified to be more suitable for the drought assessment. According to RCP 4.5, the frequency and intensity of droughts in the early future (2021~2060) were expected to increase and to be stronger. Particularly, severe droughts were predicted for a long time from 2022 to 2026, and from 2032 to 2039. Droughts were expected to decrease in the late future (2061~2100). From RCP 8.5, drought occurrences were predicted to increase, but the intensity of the droughts were expected to decrease in the future. As a result of evaluation of the frequencies of droughts by seasons, the region would be most affected by fall drought in the early future and by spring drought in the late future according to RCP 4.5. In the case of RCP 8.5, the seasonal effects were not clearly distinguished. These results suggest that droughts in the future do not have any tendency, but continue to occurr as in the past. Therefore, the measures and efforts to secure water resources and reinforcement of water supply facilities should be prepared to cope with droughts.

The severity of drought could be evaluated by the accumulative rainfall method, soil moisture condition method, storage ratio method, and water supply restriction intensity method, etc. The pattern of drought could be forecast with the most similar pattern of accumulative rainfall out of the file of past rainfall history. The information that how much rainfall should be expected to overcome the present drought could be obtained from the reservoir storage ratio and soil moisture condition.

This study, based on the monthly rainfall data, was carried out to determine the agricultural drought index which enables to describe the regional and seasonal drought characteristics of rice cropping system in Korea. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1.A new agricultural drought index (ADI) was evaluated seasonally according to the product of drought intensity and duration. This ADI is proposed as standard design criterion for irrigation planning. 2.The relationship between agricultural drought index and return periods was figured out. These diagrams could be used to estimate the seasonal drought severity of a certain year and to select design year corresponding to the specific drought frequency. 3.The regional drought characteristics were classified and those are useful to determine proper rice varieties and planting time and make drought counterplans. 4.Spring drought occurred once in 3 or 4 years and in a regional respect, rather frequently occurred in Seoul and Daegu areas than in Busan, Daejeon, Kwangju and Chuncheon areas. Summer drought occurred once in 5 years in Daegu and Busan areas and once in 7 or 8 years in other areas. 5.Sequential drought which gave severe drought damage of rice production occurred once in 20 years in Daegu area and in 10 years in Kwangju area.
