Abstract

This study is to project the future snowfall and to assess heavy snowfall vulnerable area in South Korea using ground measured snowfall data and RCP climate change scenarios. To identify the present spatio-temporal heavy snowfall distribution pattern of South Korea, the 40 years (1971~2010) snowfall data from 92 weather stations were used. The heavy snowfall days above 20 cm and areas has increased especially since 2000. The future snowfall was projected by HadGEM3-RA RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios using the bias-corrected temperature and snow-water equivalent precipitation of each weather station. The maximum snowfall in baseline period (1984~2013) was 122 cm and the future maximum snow depth was projected 186.1 cm, 172.5 mm and 172.5 cm in 2020s (2011~2040), 2050s (2041~2070) and 2080s (2071~2099) for RCP 4.5 scenario, and 254.4 cm, 161.6 cm and 194.8 cm for RCP 8.5 scenario respectively. To analyze the future heavy snowfall vulnerable area, the present snow load design criteria for greenhouse (cm), cattleshed ($kg/m^2$), and building structure ($kN/m^2$) of each administrative district was applied. The 3 facilities located in present heavy snowfall areas were about two times vulnerable in the future and the areas were also extended.

본 연구에서는 기상관측소의 적설심 자료와 RCP 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 미래 강설량을 예측하고 기후변화에 따른 폭설 취약지역을 평가하였다. 과거 폭설의 시간적, 공간적인 규모 및 상황을 파악하기 위해 전국 92개 기상관측소의 과거 40년간(1971~2010년) 적설심 자료를 수집하였다. 2000년대로 갈수록 특히 대설경보 기준(20cm)이상 폭설발생 일수는 증가하였다. 이후 기상관측소별로 보정된 AR5 RCP 4.5, 8.5 기후변화 시나리오에 의해 각 관측소별로 산정된 온도 경계값과 물당량을 이용하여 미래 강설 가능량을 추정하였다. Baseline (1984~2013) 최대 적설심은 122cm로 분석되었고, 4.5 시나리오의 경우 186.1cm (2020s), 172.5cm (2050s), 172.5cm (2080s)로, 8.5 시나리오에 따른 최대 적설심은 254.5cm (2020s), 161.6cm (2050s), 194.8cm (2080s)로 폭설발생이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 미래 폭설 취약지역을 분석하기 위해, 현재 적용되고 있는 전국지역별 원예특작물시설의 설계기준 적설심(cm), 축사 설계기준 적설하중($kg/m^2$), 건축물 설계기준 적설하중($kN/m^2$) 자료를 수집하여 적용하였다. 미래 폭설 취약지역을 분석한 결과, 과거의 폭설 취약지역의 시설물은 미래에 두 배가량 더 취약하며, 취약지역이 더 확대되는 것으로 나타났다.
