Abstract

A relationship between cloud-to-ground lightning and rainfall was investigated by using the two-years (2006-2007) summer lightning data and the automatic weather stations (AWSs) data of the Korea Meteorological Administration. The negative lightning occurred at the core of highly concentrated convection, which is often accompanied with heavy rains. Whereas most positive lightning occurred at the anvil cloud with low density and light rains. The rainfall intensity is strongest when the negative and positive lightning occurred concurrently, and one with lightning is much stronger than that without lightning. A portion of the positive lightning of the total lightning was less than 10% during summer seasons, and the lightning without rains was about 34%. The rain rate was strongly correlated with the negative flash rate, and the correlation coefficients varied between 0.87 and 0.94 according to the co-location radius (5-15 km) of AWSs. Most of the lightning occurred 10 minutes before and/or concurrently occurred with rains. A portion of the convective rainfalls of the total rainfalls was at least 20% when we define the rainfalls with lightning as convective. The convective rainfall was greater during August than in June and July. In general, the portion of convective rainfalls showed a maximum diurnal variation during late afternoon as in the rains and lightning.

본 연구에서는 2006-2007년 여름(6-8월)동안의 기상청 낙뢰 관측자료와 자동관측소 강우량 자료를 사용하여 여름철 낙뢰와 강우의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 대부분의 부극성 낙뢰는 대류가 활발한 중심에 집중되어 발생하고 낙뢰빈도가 높고 강한 강우를 동반하였다. 반면 대부분의 정극성 낙뢰는 구름의 가장자리 또는 모루운에서 발생하고 낙뢰빈도는 낮으며, 약한 강우를 동반하였다. 일반적으로 강우강도는 부극성과 정극성이 함께 발생했을 경우 가장 강하고 부극성 낙뢰, 정극성 낙뢰, 그리고 낙뢰가 발생하지 않은 순으로 나타나고 있다. 여름철 전체 낙뢰 중 정극성 낙뢰의 비율은 평균 10% 이하이며 강우를 유발하지 않는 낙뢰의 비율은 평균 34%이다. 강우강도는 특히 부극성 낙뢰빈도와 높은양의 상관을 보였고, 낙뢰는 강우와 동시에 발생하거나 약 10분정도 선행하는 경향을 보였다. 낙뢰를 동반한 강우를 대류성 강우로 정의하여 분석한 결과 우리나라 여름철 강우 중 적어도 20% 이상은 대류성 강우이며 6, 7월보다는 8월에 대류성 강우가 많이 발생하고 있다. 또한 강우 및 낙뢰와 같이 대류성 강우의 비율도 오후에 최대치를 보이는 일변동을 보인다.
