Abstract

Discharge or water level predictions at tidally affected river reaches are currently still a great challenge in hydrological practices. This research aims to predict water level of the tide dominated site, Jamsu bridge in the Han River downstream. Physics-based hydrodynamic approaches are sometimes not applicable for water level prediction in such a tidal river due to uncertainty sources like rainfall forecasting data. In this study, TensorFlow deep learning framework was used to build a deep neural network based LSTM model and its applications. The LSTM model was trained based on 3 data sets having 10-min temporal resolution: Paldang dam release, Jamsu bridge water level, predicted tidal level for 6 years (2011~2016) and then predict the water level time series given the six lead times: 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 hours. The optimal hyper-parameters of LSTM model were set up as follows: 6 hidden layers number, 0.01 learning rate, 3000 iterations. In addition, we changed the key parameter of LSTM model, sequence length, ranging from 1 to 6 hours to test its affect to prediction results. The LSTM model with the 1 hr sequence length led to the best performing prediction results for the all cases. In particular, it resulted in very accurate prediction: RMSE (0.065 cm) and NSE (0.99) for the 1 hr lead time prediction case. However, as the lead time became longer, the RMSE increased from 0.08 m (1 hr lead time) to 0.28 m (24 hrs lead time) and the NSE decreased from 0.99 (1 hr lead time) to 0.74 (24 hrs lead time), respectively.

본 연구는 물리적 수리·수문모형의 적용이 제한적인 감조하천에서의 수위예측을 목적으로 하고 있으며, 이를 위해 한강 잠수교를 대상으로 딥러닝 오픈소스 소프트웨어 라이브러리인 TensorFlow를 활용하여 LSTM 모형을 구성하고 2011년부터 2017년까지의 10분 단위의 잠수교 수위, 팔당댐 방류량과 한강하구 강화대교지점의 예측조위 자료를 이용하여 모형학습(2011~2016) 및 수위예측(2017)을 수행하였다. 모형 매개변수는 민감도 분석을 통해 은닉층의 개수는 6개, 학습속도는 0.01, 학습횟수는 3000번로 결정하였으며, 모형 학습 시 학습정보의 시간적 양을 결정하는 중요한 매개변수인 시퀀스길이는 1시간, 3시간, 6시간으로 변화시키며 모의하였다. 최종적으로 선행시간에 따른 모의 예측능력을 평가하기 위해 LSTM 모형의 예측 선행시간을 6개(1 ~ 24시간)로 구분하여 실측수위와 예측수위와의 비교·분석을 수행한 결과, LSTM 모형의 최적의 성능을 내는 결과는 시퀀스길이를 1시간으로 하였을 때로 분석되었으며, 특히 선행시간 1시간에 대한 예측정확도는 RMSE는 0.065 m, NSE는 0.99로 실측수위에 매우 근접한 예측 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 시퀀스길이에 상관없이 선행시간이 길어질수록 모형의 예측 정확도는 2017년 전기간에 걸쳐 평균적으로 RMSE 0.08 m에서 0.28 m로 오차가 증가하였으며, NSE는 0.99에서 0.74로 감소하였다.
