Abstract

We have analyzed the characteristics of the monthly mean sea surface winds and wind waves near the Korean marginal seas in the 2002 year on the basis of prediction results of the sea surface winds from MM5/KMA model, which is being used for the operation system at the Korea Meteorological Administration and the third generation wave model, WAVEWATCH-III. which takes the sea surface winds derived from MM5/KMA model as the initial data. Statistical comparisons have been applied with both the marine meteorological observation buoy and the TOPEX/POSEIDON satellite wave heights data to verify the model results. The correlation coefficients between the models and observation data reach up to about 60-80％, supporting that these models satisfactorily simulate the sea surface winds and wave heights even at the coastal regions except for Chilbal-Do located very close to the land. Based on these verification results, the distributions of monthly mean sea surface winds, significant wave heights, wave lengths and wave periods around the Korean marginal seas during 2002 year have been represented.

기상청에서 현업 예보용으로 사용되는 중규모 기상 모델(MM5/KMA)의 해상풍 예측 결과와 이를 입력 자료로 제 3세대 파랑 모델(WAVEWATCH-III)을 적용하여 2002년 1년 동안의 한반도 주변해역의 해상풍과 파랑 특성을 분석하였다. 모델 결과의 검증을 위해서 해양기상 관측 부이의 관측 자료와 TOPEX/POSEIDON위성의 유의 파고 자료를 이용한 통계 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 관측 값과 모델 결과 사이에 약 60-80%의 상관성을 나타내었고, 연안에 가장 근접해 위치한 칠발도의 풍향을 제외하면, 연안 지역까지의 해상풍과 파고를 본 모델에서 잘 재현하고 있다고 분석되었다. 위의 검증 결과를 토대로 2002년 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 해역의 월평균 해상풍 및 유의파고, 파장, 파주기의 분포도를 제시하였다.
