Hydrologic responses to variations in storm direction provide useful information for the analysis and prediction of floods and the development of watershed management strategies. However, the prediction of hydrologic responses to changes in storm direction is a difficult task that requires meteorological simulations and extensive computation. It is also difficult to identify the center of rotation of a storm affecting a basin of interest. Therefore, we propose a simple approach of rotating the basin position relative to the storm within the rainfall-runoff simulation model instead of changing the pathway of the storm, which we term the Basin Rotation Method (BRM). The proposed BRM was tested on four major typhoon events in South Korea. The results illustrated that the original basin orientation (i.e., before it was rotated) exhibits earlier and higher peak discharge and earlier recession compared to the basin after rotation. We conclude that the proposed method (BRM) is a viable alternative for use in assessing the directional influence of moving storms on floods caused by historical rather than hypothetical storm events.

본 연구에서는 유역규모의 응답과정에 대한 지표면유동과 하천유동의 상대적 기여도를 평가해 보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 GIUH 모형의 적률을 금강수계 보청천유역의 자료에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 유도된 GIUH 모형은 하천 및 지표면에 대한 개별적인 배수경로들로 구성된다. 사전에 예상된 바와 같이, 양자의 특성속도는 현저하게 구별될 수 있었다. 이를 Rodriguez-Iturbe and Valdes(1979)의 모형에 의한 특성속도와 비교해본 결과 본 연구
