Abstract
This study analyzed the recent changed temporal and spatial variations of precipitation and daily average temperature in the South Korea. 65 weather stations were grouped, based on their latitudes and longitudes and the recent variable temporal and spatial variations of each latitude and longitude were derived, quantitatively. In addition, the Mann-Kendall trend analysis was used to determine the tendency (upward/downward/no trend) of rainfall and temperature. From these analyses, it was shown that the precipitation of zone 1 (33°-34°) has increased by 7% and the rate of increase showed 5%∼18% as the latitude went up. During summer, the rate of precipitation increase has increased as the latitude went up. Due to the rapid increase of summer, the rate of precipitation increase has increased as the longitude went up. On the whole, average temperature has been increased as the latitude went up. The Mann-Kendall trend analysis derived that the temperature of South Korea has increased except zone 2 (34°-35°)and summer period and the precipitation on latitude 36°∼38° and longitude 126°∼130° has increased during summer. Since this study showed the recent climate change trend in detail, it will be a preliminary data for the research of climate change adaptation.
