Abstract

Global warming and climate change have influence on abnormal weather pattern and the rainstorm has a localized and intensive tendency in Korea. IPCC(2007) also reported the rainstorm and typhoon will be more and more stronger due to temperature increase during the 21st century. Flood Estimation Handbook(Institute of Hydrology, 1999) published in United Kingdom, in the case that the data period is shorter than return period, recommends the regional frequency analysis rather than point frequency analysis. This study uses Regional Climate Model(RCM) of Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) for obtaining the rainfall and for performing the regional frequency analysis. We used the rainfall data from 58 stations managed by KMA and used L-moment algorithm suggested by Hosking and wallis(1993) for the regional frequency analysis considering the climate change. As the results, in most stations, the rainfall amounts in frequencies have an increasing tendency except for some stations. According to the A1B scenario, design rainfall is increased by 7~10% compared with the reference period(1970-2010).

기후변화에 따른 기상변화로 인하여 집중호우 및 돌발홍수 등의 빈도가 증가하고 있다. IPCC 4차 보고서(2007)는 21세기 후반까지 온도상승으로 인한 폭우 및 태풍이 점차 강력해질 것이라는 예측을 하고 있다. 영국에서 발간한 Flood Estimation Handbook(Institute of Hydrology, 1999)에 의하면 대상자료의 기간이 구하려는 재현기간보다 작은 경우에는 지점빈도해석은 적절하지 않으므로, 지역빈도해석을 추천하고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 기후변화를 고려한 빈도해석을 수행하였으며, 이에 앞서 세계기상기구에서 제시한 기후지수를 이용하여 기후변화를 평가하고, 기상청 지역기후모델(KMA-RegCM3)의 강우 자료를 이용하여 기상청 산하 58개 관측소에 대하여 지역빈도해석을 실시하였다. Hosking와 wallis(1993)이 제안한 L-moment 알고리즘을 이용하여 지역빈도해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 일부지역을 제외한 대부분의 지역에서 강수량이 증가하였으며, 현재 기간 대비 7~10%의 증가율을 나타내었다. 미래 기후변화의 영향으로 중 남부지방은 상대적으로 강우량이 증가할 것으로 보이며, 미래 강우량에 따른 설계빈도를 재설정 및 강수량이 증가하는 지역에 대한 확률수문량의 적용이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
