Abstract
The spatial characteristics of stratification In Deukryang Bay were studded using observed data and analytical models. From the description of the density structure and its the potential energy anomaly (PEA) from observed data along longitudinal direction (from the mouth to head of the bays, we found that the stratification Intensity could be changed strongly by density current effect during the spring-neap tidal cycle, and depth variation. To find out density current effect for the formation of the stratification In detail, we Implemented a diagnostic approach by using the modified analytical model including density current, tidal current, surface heating and wind stirring. The model allowed for the observed similarities for the whole domain in the bay and increased tidal mixing efficiency value s up to 0.006-0.007 as compared to the results without density current effect. We found that the density current effect was also an important key factor In determining the formation of the spatial distribution of stratification.
득량만의 조석주기에 따른 성층특성을 연구하기 위하여 우선 30여개 관측점에서 관측된 수온, 염분, 밀도, 해류, 열수지, 바람, 밀도류 자료를 조사하였다. 이 관측자료를 토대로 성층현상을 규명할 수 있는 해석적 모델을 개발하였으며 이 해석적모델을 이용하여 얻어진 연구결과에 따르면, 득량만의 성층을 이루는 요인은 조석, 태양열, 밀도,류인 것으로 나타났으며, 성층을 파과할 수 있는 조석에너지의 혼합에너지의 에너지 기여율 $\varepsilon$
은 약 0.020 - 0.021정도 되는 것으로 나타났다.
