Abstract

To characterize historical droughts in the conterminous United States (CONUS), we estimated the actual evapotranspiration (ETa) in the CONUS using the generalized complementary relationship (GCR) for 1895-2016. The ETa estimates were compared against simulations from the Noah land surface model (LSM). In this study, the evapotranspiration (ET) deficit defined as the difference between the wet-environment ET (ETw) and ETa was then normalized to calculate the Standardized Evapotranspiration Deficit Index (SEDI) across the CONUS for the years 1895-2016. The SEDI was compared to the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) at various time scales. The results showed that the GCR ETa was slightly higher than the Noah LSM-simualted ETa. As time scales increased, the correlation between the SEDI and the SPI was higher. This study suggests that the GCR has promise as a tool in the estimation of ETa and SEDI can be useful for the drought characterization.

본 연구의 목적은 일반 상호보완이론(Generalized Complementary Relationship, GCR)을 활용하여 실제증발산량을 추정하고, 추정한 실제증발산량기반 가뭄지수로부터 공통경계미국(Conterminous U.S., CONUS)에 대한 1895~2016년 기간 동안의 가뭄을 해석하는 것이다. GCR이론으로부터 추정한 ETa는 North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) Noah 지면모형(Land surface models)으로 산정한 ETa와 비교·검증하였다. 또한, GCR로부터 증발산 부족량(ET Deficit)을 산정하고 이를 표준정규화하여 공통경계미국에 대해 Standardized Evapotranspiration Deficit Index (SEDI)를 산정하였다. 이렇게 산정한 SEDI는 Standard Precipitation Index (SPI)와 비교하였다. 본 연구로부터 GCR 기반 ETa는 NLDAS-2 Noah모형의 ETa보다 다소 크게 추정하는 경향을 보였다. SEDI와 SPI의 상관성은 지속시간이 클수록 더 크게 나타났다. 강수와 토양수분의 자료를 사용하지 않는 GCR이론으로부터 비교적 정확한 ETa을 추정할 수 있으며, 증발산 기반인 SEDI가 적절한 가뭄해석에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
