이 연구에서는 49년간 (1954-2002년) 한반도 기상 관측소 자료로부터 한강과 낙동강 유역의 유역평균 월강수량 시계열의 변동에 대한 기후특성을 분석하였다. 비록 두 유역의 연강수량의 크기는 차이가 있으나 월별 변동 특성은 매우 유사하였다. 특히 4월 유역평균 강수량은 감소 경향이 뚜렷하였고, 8월 유역평균 강수량은 증가 경향이 매우 뚜렷하였다. 또한 1970년 중반에 유역평균 월강수량의 변동에 변화가 나타났다. NINO3 지수와 한강과 낙동강 유역

지구 온난화는 산업혁명이후 이미 시작되었으며 최근에 와서 그 정도가 심해지고 있다. CO2와 같은 온실기체의 증가를 가장 큰 원인으로 하는 지구 온난화의 영향이 아직 정량적으로 밝혀지고 있지만 대기순환모형(General Circulation Model: GCM)을 이용한 연구에서 이러한 온실기체의 증가가 지구의 평균온도를 상승시킨다고 밝히고 있다. 지구 온난화는 전지구적 물의 순환에도 영향을 미쳐 지구 곳곳의 강수패턴에 변화를 가져오는데 근래에 자주 발

This paper aims to know the characteristics of occurrence of the anomaly level and variability of the monthly precipitation in Kyeongnam, Korea. For this study, it was investigated the distribution of the annual and monthly mean precipitation, the precipitation variability and its annual change, and the characteristics of occurrence of the anomaly level in Kyeongnam area. The results were summarized as follows ; 1) The mean of annual total precipitation averaged over Kyeongnam area is 1433.3mm. The spatial distribution n of the annual total precipitation shows that in Kyeongnam area, the high rainfall area locates in the southwest area and south coast and the low rainfall area in an inland area 2) Monthly mean precipitation in Kyeongnam area was the highest in July(266.4㎜) followed by August(338.0㎜), June(210.2㎜) in descending order. In summer season, rainfall was concentrated and accounted for 49.9 percent of the annual total precipitation. Because convergence of the warm and humid southwest current which was influenced by Changma and typhoon took place well in this area. 3) The patterns of annual change of precipitaion variability can be divided into two types; One is a coast type and the other an inland type. The variability of precipitation generally appears low in spring and summer season and high in autumn and winter season. This is in accord with the large and small of precipitation. 4) The high frequency of anomaly level was N( Normal)-level and the next was LN( Low Normal)-level and ES(Extremely Subnormal)-level was not appeared in all stations. The occurrence frequency of N level was high in high rainfall area and distinguished in spring and summer season but the low rainfall area was not.
