Sometimes unexpected meteorologic variation brought big damages to the rice farming in our country. This study has been undertaken to investigate the characteristic influences of climatic variations on the rice farming, and the classification, the intensity and the regional dsitribution of damages done by them to it in Korea.
For the purpose of investigating them, A) Standard deviation of climatic elemerts and B) Research on the relation between meteorologic elements and their damages to rice paddy in its growing season are compared with each other in this study. The characteristic results of this study are as follows:
1) Damages from a cold: This is almost non-existent except on the partial damage area of kangnung and limited area of central Korea.
2) Damage by flood: There lie many difficulties in investigating it through meteorlogic variation because the extent frequency of this damage are traced to other factors than weather condition, but the general observation that the heavy rainfall will make big flood damage is almost not real. In fact, rainfalls do not necessarily cause flood damages in rainy areas but the coastal area and the southern area of this country are mostly heavy-damaged ones (the northern part and central part of this country, the light-damaged ones).
3) Damage from drought: That varies with season in its degree but concentric circles which center around Pohang and the eastern coastal area mostly belong to low-damaged areas. Southern area and Inchon vicinity will be the least damaged area.
