본 연구는 일조시간과 강수량 자료를 이용하여 다중회귀 방법을 통해 일사량을 추정하였다. 연구에 사용된 자료 들은 강릉지역에 위치한 강원지방기상청(105 관측소, 1980-2007)과 신강원지방기상청(104 관측소, 2009-2014) 그리고 강릉원주대학교(GWNU 관측소, 2013-2014)이며, 105 관측소 자료를 통해 산출된 회귀식을 104 관측소와 GWNU 관측 소에 적용하여 비교분석하였다. 먼저, 일조시간만을 이용하였을 때 104 관측소는 기존 연구들과 유사한 상관계수(0.96) 와 표준오차(1.16 MJ m−2 )가 나타났고, GWNU 관측소에서는 높은 상관계수(0.99)와 낮은 표준오차(0.57 MJ m−2 )로 분석 되었다. 그리고 일조시간과 강수량 자료를 104 관측소에 적용하였을 때 상관계수 0.96과 표준오차 0.99 MJ m−2로 일조 시간만을 적용했을 때보다 표준오차가 감소되었다. 일조시간만을 이용한 방법보다 강수량이 추가된 방법은 관측 일사량 과 편차의 극값이 −26.6%(2010년 3월)에서 −31.0%(2011년 2월)로 증가되었다. 이는 강수량이 5월과 7-9월에 집중되어 나타나 이외의 월에서 추정식의 계수가 음으로 계산되었기 때문으로 분석된다. 따라서 한반도와 같이 강수량이 여름철 에 집중되는 지역에서는 월평균 강수량을 일사량 추정에 이용할 때 주의를 기울여야 할 것이다.

Recently, a heavy rainfall with high spatial variation occurred frequently in the Korean Peninsula. The meteorological event that occurred in Busan on 3 May 2016 is characterized by heavy rain in a limited area. In order to clarify the reason of large spatial variation associated with mountain height and location of low level jet, several numerical experiments were carried out using the dynamic meteorological Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In this case study, the raised topography of Mount Geumjeong increased a barrier effect and air uplifting due to topographic forcing on the windward side. As a result, wind speed reduced and precipitation increased. In contrast, on the downwind side, the wind speed was slightly faster and since the total amount of water vapor is limited, the precipitation on the downwind side reduced. Numerical experiments on shifting the location of the lower jet demonstrated that if the lower jet is close to the mountain, its core becomes higher due to the effect of friction. Additionally, the water vapor convergence around the mountain increased and eventually the precipitation also increased in the area near the mountain. Hence, the location information of the lower jet is an important factor for accurately predicting precipitation.

During the research period, error analysis of the amount of daily precipitation was performed with data obtained from 2DVD, Parsivel, and AWS, and from the results, 79 days were selected as research days. According to the results of a synoptic meteorological analysis, these days were classified into ‘LP type, CF type, HE type, and TY type’. The dates showing the maximum daily precipitation amount and precipitation intensity were ‘HE type and CF type', which were found to be attributed to atmospheric instability causing strong ascending flow, and leading to strong precipitation events. Of the 79 days, most days were found to be of the LP type. On July 27, 2011 the daily precipitation amount in the Korean Peninsula reached over 80 mm (HE type). The leading edge of the Northern Pacific high pressure was located over the Korean Peninsula with unstable atmospheric conditions and inflow of air with high temperature and high humidity caused ascending flow, 120 mm/h with an average precipitation intensity of over 9.57 mm/h. Considering these characteristics, precipitation in these sample dates could be classified into the convective rain type. The results of a precipitation scale distribution analysis showed that most precipitation were between 0.4-5.0 mm, and ‘Rain’ size precipitation was observed in most areas. On July 9, 2011, the daily precipitation amount was recorded to be over 80 mm (CF type) at the rainy season front (Jangma front) spreading across the middle Korean Peninsular. Inflow of air with high temperature and high humidity created unstable atmospheric conditions under which strong ascending air currents formed and led to convective rain type precipitation.
