Abstract

In order to investigate the formation of a shallow water front and its relation to water quality distributions, oceanographic measurements were made, and the numerical computations of the Simpson-Hunter stratification parameter log(H/U$^3$) were performed. It is shown from satellite image and hydrographic data that the shallow water front is formed near the northern Kaduk channel, and the stratification parameter log(H/U$^3$) near the front is in a range of 2.0-2.5. Measured COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) concentrations in offshore region of the front and in the western part of the bay are below 2.0 mg/1. whereas the concentrations in Masan Bay located in the northern inside of the frontal zone are high as 3.0-5.5 mg/1. COD concentrations decrease gradually from Masan Bay toward the offshore due to the dilution by strong water mixing. Anoxic and hypoxic water masses at the bottom layer in summcr occur in the western part of Chinhae Bay and in Masan Bay, and DO (Dissolved Oxygen) concentrations become low with increasing the stratification parameter. DO concentrations outside the front are more than about 4.0 mg/1, whereas the concentrations inside the front are low. The shallow water front plays a significant role for material transport from coastal area to oceanic area, and the frontal region seems to be important physical and chemical boundaries.

진해만에서 천해전선의 형성 및 전선과 수질분포와의 관계를 해석하기 위해 해양학적인 조사가 수행 되었으며, 또한 Simpson-Hunter의 성층계수 log(H/U$^3$)을 수치계산하였다.인공위성 자료와 현지조사결과에 의하면, 진해만의 천해전선은 가덕수로 북쪽해역 부근에서 형성되며, 전선부근에서 성층계수 값은 2.0~2.5이다. 전선이 셩성되는 위치를 기준으로 했을 때 만의 외해역과 진해만 서부해역에서는 COD 농도가 2.0 mg/l 이하로 낮으나, 전선역의 북쪽 내해에 위치한 마산만에서는 3.0~5.5 mg/l로써 높다. COD 농도는 마산만에서 외해로 갈수록 강한 해수교환으로 인해 점차 감소한다. 하계 저층 무산소 및 저산소 수괴는 진해만 서부해역과 마산만에서 일어나며, DO 농도는 성층계수가 증감함에 따라 감소한다. DO 농도는 전선이 형성되는 해역을 기준으로 만외에서는 약 4.0 mg/l 이상으로 높으나, 만내에서는 낮다. 천해전선은 연안에서 외해로의 물질수송에 대해 중요한 역하을 하며, 또한 전선의 형성지역은 물리적 및 화학적으로 중요한 경계를 이루는 것 같다.
