Abstract
Spatial Patterns of Climatic Factors Using GIS and PRISM, Korea
Track: Climate Change
Author(s): Suna Kim, Woo Lee, Hyunah Choi
Most of interpolated climatic factors are affected by topographical environments such as elevation and distance from observation site. Although Korea is not in land area, topography is complex. Thereby, Korea shows great variability on spatial and temporal patterns of most of climatic factors. PRISM(Precipitaton elevation Regressions on Independent Slope Model) uses a DEM and brings a combination of climatological and statistical concept.
This study was based on GIS and PRISM using monthly cumulative precipitation and temperature from 1977 to 2006 in Korea. Some conditions between climatic factors and elevation were described by long-linear or exponential functions using the statistical method like a IDW(Inverse distance weighting). The aim of this study is to prepare a high resolution gridded temperature and precipitation using the GIS and PRISM.
