Abstract

This study analyzed the A1B climate change scenario provided by National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR), Korea, to investigate potential climate changes in watersheds of 15 multi-purpose dams in South Korea. The A1B climate change scenario is produced by Regional Climate Model (RCM) with 27 km horizontal grid spacings using a one-way nesting technique with Global Climate Model (GCM). Relative to present climate conditions (1971~ 2000), the modeled 10-year averaged daily temperatures at the watersheds of the 15 multi-purpose dams continuously increased to year 2100, whereas precipitation changes were varied regionally (north, central, and south regions of South Korea). At two watersheds located in Gangwon-province (north region), the modeled temporal variations of precipitation rapidly increased in the 2090's after a slow decrease that had occurred since the 2050's. At seven watersheds in the central region, including Gyeongsangbuk-province to Jeollanam-province, the modeled temporal variations of precipitation increase showed 10-year periodic changes. At six watersheds in the south region, the modeled temporal variations of precipitation increased since the 2070's after a rapid decrease in the 2060's. Compared to the climate conditions of the late of 20th century (1971~2000), the number of rainy days and precipitation intensity increased (3% and 6~12%, respectively) in the late 21st century (2071~2100). The frequency of precipitation events tended to increase with precipitation intensity in all regions. The frequency of heavy precipitation events (>50 mm $d^{-1}$) increased with >100% in the north region, 60~100% in the central region, and 20~60% in the south region.

본 연구는 수자원, 물환경 및 수생태계의 변이를 파악하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자 수평격자 27 km의 고해상도 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 15개 다목적댐 유역을 대상으로 기후변화를 분석하였다. 기온은 15개 다목적댐유역 모두 2100년까지 지속적으로 상승하는 경향을 보인 반면, 강수량은 2040년대에 급격히 증가하면서 2050년대 이후부터는 지역별로 서로 다른 증감 경향을 보였다. 강원지역에 위치한 소양강댐과 횡성댐 유역에서는 2050년대 이후 강수량 증가가 서서히 감소한 후 2090년대에 다시 급격히 증가하는 경향을 보인 반면, 경북지역에서 전남 해안지역에 이르는 중부지역에 위치한 7개 댐 유역에서는 2050년 이후 10년 주기의 증감 변화가 나타났으며, 남부지역에 위치한 6개 댐 유역에서는 2050년 이후 2060년대에 강수량 증가가 급격히 감소한 후 2090년대까지 서서히 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 20세기 후반(1971~2000년)에 비하여 21세기 후반(2071~2100년)에 강수일수는 약 3% 정도 증가하고 강수강도는 6~12% 정도 강해지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 강수강도별 강수빈도는 남부지역을 제외한 모든 댐 유역에서 강수강도가 증가할수록 강수빈도는 증가하며, 남부지역에서는 10~30 mm $d^{-1}$ 범위의 강수강도에서 강수빈도가 감소하나 그 이상의 강수강도에서는 강수빈도가 다시 증가하는 특성을 보였다. 호우로 규정된 50 m $d^{-1}$ 이상의 강수강도에서 15개 댐유역 모두 강수빈도가 약 20~100% 이상 증가하였다.
