Over the past 60 years, Korean numerical weather prediction (NWP) has advanced rapidly with the collaborative effort between the science community and the operational modelling center. With an improved scientific understanding and the growth of information technology infrastructure, Korea is able to provide reliable and seamless weather forecast service, which can predict beyond a 10 days period. The application of NWP has expanded to support decision making in weather-sensitive sectors of society, exploiting both storm-scale high-impact weather forecasts in a very short range, and sub-seasonal climate predictions in an extended range. This article gives an approximate chronological account of the NWP over three periods separated by breakpoints in 1990 and 2005, in terms of dynamical core, physics, data assimilation, operational system, and forecast application. Challenges for future development of NWP are briefly discussed.

본 연구에서는 Bayesian 통계기법을 이용한 비정상성 빈도해석모형을 토대로 외부 기상인자에 의한 변동성을 고려할 수 있는 계절강수량 예측모형을 구축하였으며, 낙동강유역내의 10개 관측소에서 관측된 37년간의 강수량 자료를 이용하여 연도별 여름강수량을 추출하고 이들 관측소의 여름강수량에 물리적인 영향을 미치는 기상인자로서 SST(sea surface temperature)와 OLR(outgoing longwave radiation)을 공간상관성을 검토하여 선정하였다. 모형의 적합성을 검토하기 위해 2010년 여름강수량 사후 확률분포의 중앙값과 관측치를 비교하였으며, 그 결과 각각 858.2mm와 888.1mm로, 이는 구축된 모형이 적절하게 여름강수량을 모의하고 있음을 보여준다. 2010년 겨울 SST 관측 값과, 예년 평균값으로 가정한 2011년 6월 OLR을 이용하여 2011년 여름강수량을 예측하였다. 예측된 2011년 여름강수량은 967.7mm로, 확률적으로 예년 여름강수량의 평균인 680mm를 상회할 확률이 92.9% 이상인 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 50년 빈도에 해당하는 여름강수량을 추정한 결과, 50년 빈도 여름강수량 1400mm를 상회할 확률도 약 73.7%인 것으로 분석되었다.

The dynamical model forecasts using state-of-art general circulation models (GCMs) have some limitations to simulate the real climate system since they do not depend on the past history. One of the alternative methods to correct model errors is to use the canonical correlation analysis (CCA) correction method. CCA forecasts at the present time show better skill than dynamical model forecasts especially over the midlatitudes. Model outputs are adjusted based on the CCA modes between the model forecasts and the observations. This study builds a canonical correlation prediction model for subseasonal (June) precipitation. The predictors are circulation fields over western North Pacific from the Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5 (GloSea5) and observed snow cover extent over Eurasia continent from Climate Data Record (CDR). The former is based on simultaneous teleconnection between the western North Pacific and the East Asia, and the latter on lagged teleconnection between the Eurasia continent and the East Asia. In addition, we suggest a technique for improving forecast skill by applying the ensemble canonical correlation (ECC) to individual canonical correlation predictions.

This study investigated the prediction skill of the Asian dust seasonal forecasting model (GloSea5-ADAM) on the Asian dust and meteorological variables related to the dust generation for the period of 1991~2016. Additionally, we evaluated the prediction skill of those variables depending on the combination of the initial dates in the sub-seasonal scale for the dust source region affecting South Korea. The Asian dust and meteorological variables (10 m wind speed, 1.5 m relative humidity, and 1.5 m air temperature) from GloSea5-ADAM were compared to that from Synoptic observation and European Centre for medium range weather forecasts reanalysis v5, respectively, based on Mean Bias Error (MBE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Anomaly Correlation Coefficient (ACC) as evaluation criteria. In general, the Asian dust and meteorological variables in the source region showed high ACC in the prediction scale within one month. For all variables, the use of the initial dates closest to the prediction month led to the best performances based on MBE, RMSE, and ACC, and the performances could be improved by adjusting the number of ensembles considering the combination of the initial date. ACC was as high as 0.4 in Spring when using the closest two initial dates. In particular, the GloSea5-ADAM shows the best performance of Asian dust generation with an ACC of 0.60 in the occurrence frequency of Asian dust in March when using the closest initial dates for initial conditions.

A rainfall simulation and forecasting technique that can generate daily rainfall sequences conditional on multi-model ensemble GCMs is developed and applied to data in Korea for the major rainy season. The GCM forecasts are provided by APEC climate center. A Weather State Based Downscaling Model (WSDM) is used to map teleconnections from ocean-atmosphere data or key state variables from numerical integrations of Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Models to simulate daily sequences at multiple rain gauges. The method presented is general and is applied to the wet season which is JJA(June-July-August) data in Korea. The sequences of weather states identified by the EM algorithm are shown to correspond to dominant synoptic-scale features of rainfall generating mechanisms. Application of the methodology to seasonal rainfall forecasts using empirical teleconnections and GCM derived climate forecast are discussed.

The objective of this study is to quantitatively analyze climate change effects by using statistical trends and a watershed model in the Yongdam dam watershed. The annual average air temperature was found to increase with statistical significance. In particular, greater increases were observed in autumn. Also, this study was performed to evaluate the potential climate change in the streamflow and water temperature using a watershed model (HSPF) with RCP climate change scenarios. The streamflow of Geum river showed a decrease of 5.1% and 0.2%, respectively, in the baseline data for the 2040s and 2080s. The seasonal impact of future climate change on the streamflow showed a decrease in the summer and an increase in the winter. The water temperature of Geum river showed an average increase of 0.7~1.0℃. Especially, the water temperature of Geum river showed an increase of 0.3~0.5℃ in the 2040s and 0.5~1.2℃ in the 2080s. The seasonal impact of future climate change on the water temperature showed an increase in winter and spring, with a decrease in summer. Therefore, it was determined that a statistical analysis-based meteorological and quantitative forecast of streamflow and water temperature using a watershed model is necessary to assess climate change impact and to establish plans for future water resource management.

There is an emphasis on the importance of adaptation against to climate change and related natural disasters. As a result, various climate information with different time-scale can be used for science-based climate change adaptation policy. From the aspects of Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), various time-scaled climate information in Korea is mainly produced by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) However, application of weather and climate information in different application sectors has been done individually in the fields of agriculture and water resources mostly based-on weather information. Furthermore, utilization of climate information including seasonal forecast and climate change projections are insufficient. Therefore, establishment of the Cooperation Center for Application of Weather and Climate Information is necessary as an institutional platform for the UIP (User Interface Platform) focusing on multi-model ensemble (MME) based climate service, seamless climate service, and climate service based on multidisciplinary approach. In addition, APCC Integrated Modeling Solution (AIMS) was developed as a technical platform for UIP focusing on user-centered downscaling of various time-scaled climate information, application of downscaled data into impact assessment modeling in various sectors, and finally producing information can be used in decision making procedures. AIMS is expected to be helpful for the increase of adaptation capacity against climate change in developing countries and Korea through the voluntary participation of producer and user groups within in the institutional and technical platform suggested.

2주에서 2개월까지 선행기간을 가지는 계절내-계절(Subseasonal-to-Seasonal, S2S) 예측결과는 산업전반에 걸쳐 다양한 분야에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있으나, 일기예보나 중장기 예보대비 낮은 예측성으로 인하여 현재까지 활용성이 매우 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기계학습 기법중 비선형회귀 분야에서 좋은 결과를 보여주는 다층퍼셉트론 기법을 이용하여 S2S 예측자료의 후처리를 통한 국내 영역에서의 강수예측성 향상에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 후처리 모형의 학습을 위한 입력자료로는 ECMWF의 S2S 과거예측(Hindcast) 정보를 이용하였으며 양분예보기법에 기반하여 학습된 다층퍼셉트론 모델을 이용한 후처리 결과와의 비교 분석이 수행되었다. 비교분석 결과 편차도(Bias score)는 평균 59.7% 감소하였고, 정확도(Accuracy)는 124.3% 증가하였으며, 임계성공지수(Critical Success Index)는 88.5% 향상된 것으로 분석되었다. 탐지확률(Probability of detection)의 경우 원자료 대비 평균 9.5% 감소하였으나 이는 ECMWF의 예측모델이 강수의 발생일을 과도하게 예측하였기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 수행 결과 비록 ECMWF의 S2S 예측자료의 예측성이 낮더라도 후처리를 통해 예측성을 향상 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 본 연구 결과는 향후 수자원과 농업 분야에서 S2S 자료의 활용성을 높이는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 계절내-계절(Subseasonal to seasonal, S2S) 기후예측의 주별 예측 성능을 개선하기 위해서 딥러닝 기반의 후보정(post processing) 기술을 개발하였다. 그 첫 단계로, 일 최고, 최저기온과 일 강수를 목표 변수로, 자료의 특성과 분포에 적합한 자료 변환 및 특성 공학 기법을 규명하고자 하였다. 먼저, 6개 개별 기후모델의 S2S 예측 자료를 딥러닝 모델에 입력하기 위한 훈련자료로 변환하고, 이로부터 다중모델앙상블(Multi-Model Ensemble, MME) 기반 훈련자료를 구축하였다. 참값(label)으로는 ECMWF의 ERA5 재분석 자료를 사용하였다. 자료 변환 알고리즘은 최고 및 최저 차이를 계산하여 입력자료의 범위를 변형시키는 MinMax 및 MaxAbs 변환, 표준편차를 이용하는 Standard 변환 및 분위수를 지정하여 변형하는 Robust와 Quantile 변환으로 구성된 전처리 파이프라인을 구축하였으며, 변환된 훈련자료와 예측 변수와의 상관관계를 계산하여 순위에 따라 훈련자료의 특성을 선택하는 특성 선택 기법을 추가하였다. 본 연구는 U-Net 모델에 TimeDistributed wrapper를 모든 합성곱 층(convolutional layer)에 적용하여 활용하였다. 5개 알고리즘으로부터 변환된 6개 개별 기후모델 및 MME S2S 훈련자료(일 최고 및 최저기온, 강수)에 훈련 모델을 적용한 결과와 훈련 모델을 적용하지 않은 결과를 ERA5와의 공간상관계수(spatial Pattern Correlation Coefficient)를 계산하고 그 개선율인 기술 점수(skill score)를 평가한 결과, 일 강수의 PCC 기술 점수는 Standard 및 Robust 변환으로 처리된 것에서 전체 예측선행(1~4주)에 대해 모두 높았고, 일 최고 및 최저기온에서는 예측 선행시간 3~4주에서만 높게 나타났다. 또한, 일 강수에서 특성 선택에 따른 훈련자료의 차원 감소가 예측 성능 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 일 최고 및 최저기온의 경우에는 특성 선택에 의한 훈련자료의 특성 정보 감소가 오히려 예측 성능을 저하시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 원시자료에서 예측성이 높은 1~2주 기온 예측 개선을 위한 적합한 전처리 변환 알고리즘이나 특성 선택을 찾을 수 없었다. 후속 연구에서는 원시 예측 성능이 강수에 비해 높으나 딥러닝 훈련 모델에 의한 후보정 효과가 미미한 예측 선행 1~2주 기온 예측의 저조 원인에 대해 탐색하고, 다양한 딥러닝 훈련 모델로의 적용 및 초매개변수 조정 등 학습 과정의 최적화를 통해 S2S 기후 예측 성능을 개선하고자 한다.

Rainfall is one of the most important phenomena of the natural system. In Bangladesh, agriculture largely depends on the intensity and variability of rainfall. Therefore, an early indication of possible rainfall can help to solve several problems related to agriculture, climate change and natural hazards like flood and drought. Rainfall forecasting could play a significant role in the planning and management of water resource systems also. In this study, univariate Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model was used to forecast monthly rainfall for twelve months lead-time for thirty rainfall stations of Bangladesh. The best SARIMA model was chosen based on the RMSE and normalized BIC criteria. A validation check for each station was performed on residual series. Residuals were found white noise at almost all stations. Besides, lack of fit test and normalized BIC confirms all the models were fitted satisfactorily. The predicted results from the selected models were compared with the observed data to determine prediction precision. We found that selected models predicted monthly rainfall with a reasonable accuracy. Therefore, year-long rainfall can be forecasted using these models.
