In the present study, we assess the GloSea5 (Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5) near-surface ocean current forecasts using globally observed surface drifter dataset. Annual mean surface current fields at 0-day forecast lead time are quite consistent with drifter-derived velocity fields, and low values of root mean square (RMS) errors distributes in global oceans, except for regions of high variability, such as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, Kuroshio, and Gulf Stream. Moreover a comparison with the global high-resolution forecasting system, HYCOM (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model), signifies that GloSea5 performs well in terms of short-range surface-current forecasts. Predictions from 0-day to 4-week lead time are also validated for the global ocean and regions covering the main ocean basins. In general, the Indian Ocean and tropical regions yield relatively high RMS errors against all forecast lead times, whilst the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans show low values. RMS errors against forecast lead time ranging from 0-day to 4-week reveal the largest increase rate between 0-day and 1-week lead time in all regions. Correlation against forecast lead time also reveals similar results. In addition, a strong westward bias of about $0.2m\;s^{-1}$ is found along the Equator in the western Pacific on the initial forecast day, and it extends toward the Equator of the eastern Pacific as the lead time increases.

장기간의 가뭄에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 유역에 적합한 가뭄관리 대책의 수립과 함께 미래에 발생하게 될 가뭄을 미리 예측할 수 있는 기술이 구축되어야 한다. 또한 미래의 가뭄에 대한 합리적 대응 방안을 수립하기 위해서는 가뭄의 지속기간(duration)과 심도(severity)의 정량적인 예측이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수문 시계열의 예측에 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 대표적인 통계학적 기법인 인공신경망 모형(Artificial Neural Network Model)과 가뭄지수를 이용하여 남한지역의 서울, 대전, 대구, 광주 등의 4개 기상관측소를 선정하여 가뭄예측을시도하였다. 가뭄 예측을 위하여 남한지역 내 선정한 기상관측소의 관측된 과거 강수량 자료를 이용하여 산정된 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)를 입력변수로 하여 다층 퍼셉트론(Multi Layer Perceptron) 인공신경망 모델에 적용하였으며, 매개변수 보정을 위한 학습기간으로 1976~2000년과 2001~2010년을 예측을 위한 검증기간으로 선정하여, 학습 및 예측을 시도하였다. 학습된 최적의 예측모형을 이용하여 서로 다른 선행예보시간(1~6개월)을 갖고 SPI (3), SPI (6), SPI (12)별로 가뭄을 예측하였으며, 가뭄예측 결과, SPI (3)의 경우에는 1개월 선행예보에서만 좋은 결과를 나타내었으며, SPI (6)의 경우 1~3개월 후의 가뭄을 예측하는 경우에 비교적 관측자료와 잘 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다. SPI (12)의 경우에는 약5개월 후까지의 가뭄예측에 양호한 결과를 나타내었다.

This study compared ensemble mean and probability forecasts of snow depth amount associated with winter storm over South Korea on 28 December 2012 at five operational forecast centers (CMA, ECMWF, NCEP, KMA, and UMKO). And cause of difference in predicted snow depth at each Ensemble Prediction System (EPS) was investigated by using THe Observing system Research and Predictability EXperiment (THORPEX) Interactive Grand Global Ensemble (TIGGE) data. This snowfall event occurred due to low pressure passing through South Sea of Korea. Amount of 6 hr accumulated snow depth was more than 10 cm over southern region of South Korea In this case study, ECMWF showed best prediction skill for the spatio-temporal distribution of snow depth. At first, ECMWF EPS has been consistently enhancing the indications present in ensemble mean snow depth forecasts from 7-day lead time. Secondly, its ensemble probabilities in excess of 2~5 cm/6 hour have been coincided with observation frequencies. And this snowfall case could be predicted from 5-day lead time by using 10-day lag ensemble mean 6 hr accumulated snow depth distribution. In addition, the cause of good performances at ECMWF EPS in predicted snow depth amounts was due to outstanding prediction ability of forming inversion layer with below $0^{\circ}C$ temperature in low level (below 850 hPa) according to $35^{\circ}N$ at 1-day lead time.

In this paper the economic value of weather forecasts is valuated for profit-oriented enterprise decision-making situations. Value is estimated in terms of monetary profits (or benefits) resulted from the forecast user's decision under the specific payoff structure, which is represented by a profit/loss ratio model combined with a decision function and a value score (VS). The forecast user determines a business-related decision based on the probabilistic forecast, the user's subjective reliability of the forecasts, and the payoff structure specific to the user's business environment. The VS curve for a meteorological forecast is specified by a function of the various profit/loss ratios, providing the scaled economic value relative to the value of a perfect forecast. The proposed valuation method based on the profit/loss ratio model and the VS is adapted for hypothetical sets of forecasts and verified for site-specific probability of precipitation forecast of 12 hour and 24 hour-lead time, which is generated from Korea meteorological administration (KMA). The application results show that forecast information with shorter lead time can provide the decision-makers with great benefits and there are ranges of profit/loss ratios in which high subjective reliability of the given forecast is preferred.

In this study, a new consensus technique for predicting tropical cyclone (TC) intensity in the western North Pacific was developed. The most important feature of the present consensus model is to select and combine the guidance numerical models with the best performance in the previous years based on various evaluation criteria and averaging methods. Specifically, the performance of the guidance models was evaluated using both the mean absolute error and the correlation coefficient for each forecast lead time, and the number of the numerical models used for the consensus model was not fixed. In averaging multiple models, both simple and weighted methods are used. These approaches are important because that the performance of the available guidance models differs according to forecast lead time and is changing every year. In particular, this study develops both a multi-consensus model (M-CON), which constructs the best consensus models with the lowest error for each forecast lead time, and a single best consensus model (S-CON) having the lowest 72-hour cumulative mean error, through on training process. The evaluation results of the selected consensus models for the training and forecast periods reveal that the M-CON and S-CON outperform the individual best-performance guidance models. In particular, the M-CON showed the best overall performance, having advantages in the early stages of prediction. This study finally suggests that forecaster needs to use the latest evaluation results of the guidance models every year rather than rely on the well-known accuracy of models for a long time to reduce prediction error.

The Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models provide information for weather forecasts. The highly nonlinear and complex interactions in the atmosphere are simplified in meteorological models through approximations and parameterization. Therefore, the simplifications may lead to biases and errors in model results. Although the models have improved over time, the biased outputs of these models are still a matter of concern in meteorological and hydrological studies. Thus, bias removal is an essential step prior to using outputs of atmospheric models. The main idea of statistical bias correction methods is to develop a statistical relationship between modeled and observed variables over the same historical period. The Model Output Statistics (MOS) would be desirable to better match the real time forecast data with observation records. Statistical post-processing methods relate model outputs to the observed values at the sites of interest. In this study three methods are used to remove the possible biases of the real-time outputs of the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model in Imjin basin (North and South Korea). The post-processing techniques include the Linear Regression (LR), Linear Scaling (LS) and Power Scaling (PS) methods. The MOS techniques used in this study include three main steps: preprocessing of the historical data in training set, development of the equations, and application of the equations for the validation set. The expected results show the accuracy improvement of the real-time forecast data before and after bias correction. The comparison of the different methods will clarify the best method for the purpose of the forecast skill enhancement in a real-time case study.

In this study, we developed real-time urban stream discharge forecasting model using short-term rainfall forecasts data simulated by a regional climate model (RCM). The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecasting System (CFS) data was used as a boundary condition for the RCM, namely the Global/Regional Integrated Model System(GRIMs)-Regional Model Program (RMP). In addition, we make ensemble (ESB) forecast with different lead time from 1-day to 3-day and its accuracy was validated through temporal correlation coefficient (TCC). The simulated rainfall is compared to observed data, which are automatic weather stations (AWS) data and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA 3B43; 3 hourly rainfall with $0.25^{\circ}{\times}0.25^{\circ}$ resolution) data over midland of Korea in July 26-29, 2011. Moreover, we evaluated urban rainfall-runoff relationship using Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). Several statistical measures (e.g., percent error of peak, precent error of volume, and time of peak) are used to validate the rainfall-runoff model's performance. The correlation coefficient (CC) and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) are evaluated. The result shows that the high correlation was lead time (LT) 33-hour, LT 27-hour, and ESB forecasts, and the NSE shows positive values in LT 33-hour, and ESB forecasts. Through this study, it can be expected to utilizing the real-time urban flood alert using short-term weather forecast.

유역 상류의 소규모 산지 유역 또는 도시 배수분구 정도의 도시 유역은 지체시간이 수 십 여분에 불과하기 때문에 우량계만으로는 대응에 필요한 충분한 예측 선행시간을 확보하기 어렵다. 도시 및 소규모 산지 유역에서와 같이 지체시간이 짧은 유역에서 발생하는 돌발홍수는 더 이상 우량계만으로 예보가 불가능하다. 도달시간이 짧은 도시 및 산지에서는 지체시간 외에 강수 예측을 통한 홍수예보 선행시간을 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 한강홍수통제소에서는 강우레이더 강우강도를 초단기 예측 모델인 Mcgill Algorithm for Precipitation-nowcast by Lagrangian Extrapolation(MAPLE) 알고리즘의 입력 자료로 활용하여 초단기 예측 강수 자료를 생산하고 있다. 한국건설기술연구원의 돌발홍수연구센터는 한강홍수통제소에서 생산하고 있는 초단기 예측 강수 자료를 입력 자료로 하여 돌발홍수 예측 시스템을 구축하였고 2019년부터 동네규모의 1시간 전 돌발홍수정보를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 돌발홍수연구센터에서 구축한 돌발홍수 예측 시스템을 설명하고 2019년도에 발생한 수재해 사례를 분석하여 전국 도시·산지·소하천 돌발홍수 예측 시스템의 예측 정확도를 검증하였다. 돌발홍수 예측 시스템의 정확도 검증에는 총 31개의 수재해 사례를 적용하였고 예측 정확도는 Probability of Detection (POD) 기준으로 90.3%로 매우 높게 나타났다.
