Abstract

It is not easy to provide sufficient lead time for flood forecast in urban and small mountain basins using on-ground rain gauges, because the time concentration in those basins is too short. In urban and small mountain basins with a short lag-time between precipitation and following flood events, it is more important to secure forecast lead times by predicting rainfall amounts. The Han River Flood Control Office (HRFCO) in South Korea produces short-term rainfall forecasts using the Mcgill Algorithm for Precipitation-nowcast by Lagrangian Extrapolation (MAPLE) algorithm that converts radar reflectance of rainfall events. The Flash Flood Research Center (FFRC) in the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) installed a flash flood forecasting system using the short-term rainfall forecast data produced by the HRFCO and has provided flash flood information in a local lvel with 1-hour lead time since 2019. In this study, we addressed the flash flood forecasting system based on the radar rainfall and the assessed the accuracy of the forecasting system for the recorded flood events occurred in 2019. A total of 31 flood disaster cases were used to evaluate the accuracy and the forecast accuracy was 90.3% based on the probability of detection.

유역 상류의 소규모 산지 유역 또는 도시 배수분구 정도의 도시 유역은 지체시간이 수 십 여분에 불과하기 때문에 우량계만으로는 대응에 필요한 충분한 예측 선행시간을 확보하기 어렵다. 도시 및 소규모 산지 유역에서와 같이 지체시간이 짧은 유역에서 발생하는 돌발홍수는 더 이상 우량계만으로 예보가 불가능하다. 도달시간이 짧은 도시 및 산지에서는 지체시간 외에 강수 예측을 통한 홍수예보 선행시간을 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 한강홍수통제소에서는 강우레이더 강우강도를 초단기 예측 모델인 Mcgill Algorithm for Precipitation-nowcast by Lagrangian Extrapolation (MAPLE) 알고리즘의 입력 자료로 활용하여 초단기 예측 강수 자료를 생산하고 있다. 한국건설기술연구원의 돌발홍수연구센터는 한강홍수통제소에서 생산하고 있는 초단기 예측 강수 자료를 입력 자료로 하여 돌발홍수 예측 시스템을 구축하였고 2019년부터 동네규모의 1시간 전 돌발홍수 정보를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 돌발홍수연구센터에서 구축한 돌발홍수 예측 시스템을 설명하고 2019년도에 발생한 수재해 사례를 분석하여 전국 도시 ·산지 ·소하천 돌발홍수 예측 시스템의 예측 정확도를 검증하였다. 돌발홍수 예측 시스템의 정확도 검증에는 총 31개의 수재해 사례를 적용하였고 예측 정확도는 Probability of Detection (POD) 기준으로 90.3%로 매우 높게 나타났다.
