Abstract
The approach that uses a regional climate model (RCM) is emphasized to prevent and reduce extreme rainfall events that are becoming more powerful due to climate change. This paper presented a preliminary study to produce Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) or mega-disaster scenarios using RCMs in Korea. The heavy rainfall event in July 2006, during which the highest average precipitation during the Changma season was recorded, was reconstructed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for the Chungju Dam watershed. Even when considering errors in the rainfall observation data, the WRF model could successfully reconstruct the July 2006 heavy rainfall event. It is expected that more reliable results will be obtained if the flow observation data is used in combination with a runoff model. Keywords: Extreme Rainfall Event, Regional Climate Model, Changma, WRF
