Abstract

본 연구에서는 분위회귀를 이용하여 1993~2016년 동안의 한반도 조위 자료의 장주기 선형 추세를 분석하였다. 일반 선형회귀 (OLS: Ordinary Least Square)와 50% 중간 분위 회귀 결과를 비교했을 때 특히 황해에서 약 2~3 mm/year의 회귀 결과의 차이를 발 견하였으며, 이는 극한 값 변화에 기인함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 해역별로 하위(1%) 분위와 중간(50%) 분위, 상위(99%) 분위의 값이 모두 다르게 나타났다. 황해의 대부분 지역에서는 상위 분위와 하위 분위가 모두 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으나, 유의미한 “상 향 발산형” 회귀 결과를 보였다. 이는 상위 분위가 중간 분위에 비해 유의미하게 크게 나타나는 경향을 의미한다. 대한민국 남해안 에서는 상위 분위가 하위 분위보다 더 작은 증가 값을 가지는 “상향 수렴형” 회귀 결과가 특징적으로 나타났다. 이러한 경향은 조화 분석을 통해 알려진 조석 분조들을 제거한 결과에서는 없어지는 것을 확인하였다. 그러므로 분위 회귀의 지역적 특성은 조석 세기 의 장주기 변동과 연관이 있다고 추측된다.

This study analyzed the long-term linear trends of the sea surface height around the Korea marginal seas for the period of 1993~2016 by using quantile regression. We found significant difference about 2~3 mm/year for the linear trend between OLS (ordinary least square) and median (50%) quantile regression especially in the Yellow Sea, which is affected by extreme events. Each area shows different trend for each quantile (lower (1%), median (50%) and upper (99%)). Most areas of the Yellow Sea show increasing trend in both low and upper quantile, but significant “upward divergence tendency”. This implies that significant increasing trend of upper quantile is higher than that of lower quantile in this area. Meanwhile, South Sea of Korea generally shows “upward convergence tendency” representing that increasing trend of upper quantile is lower than that of lower quantile. This study also confirmed that these tendencies can be eliminated by removing major tidal components from the harmonic analysis. Therefore, it is assumed that the regional characteristics are related to the long term change of tide amplitude.
