Abstract

This study investigated the temperature-salinity spatio-temporal variability around the Ulleung-do Island (UI) by using CTD profiles obtained by the ARGO floats far the period of Oct.,2003 to Aug.,2005. The waterbody in the upper 700 m around the UI could be classified into five water masses, which is consistent to traditional water characteristics in the East Sea. In the upper surface layer, the temperature and salinity in fall season became even lower than those properties in the summer time. The East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW) characterized by the salinity minimum layer shows the range of potential temperature between 1 to $5^{\circ}C$ and salinity lower than 34.06 psu. The ESIW lies approximately at 265 m depth with average thickness of 175 m. This thickness of the ESIW continues to be relatively uniform regardless of spatio-temporal space. However, the depth of the ESIW shows vertical variation influenced by the Ulleung warm eddy (UWE). Since the UWE lies in the upper layer, the Upper Portion of the Japan Sea Proper. Water (UPJSPW) is also affected to show the vertical variation. The influence extorted by the UWE reached down to 700 m depth in terms of temperature. The CTD profiles obtained with the high sampling rate by ARCO floats over two-year period provided with very useful and detailed informations in investigating the spatio-temporal variability In the study area.

본 연구는 2003년 10월부터 2005년 8월까지의 ARGO 뜰개에 의해 수집된 CTD 자료를 이용하여 울릉도 주변 해역의 수온-염분의 시공간 변동 양상을 분석하였다. 울릉도 주변 해역 상층 700m에서의 수괴는 5종류로 세분할 수 있으며, 가을 표층에는 여름의 고온저염수에 비해 더 저온저염화 된 수괴가 존재한다. 염분최소층을 갖는 동해중층수는 평균적으로 수심 265 m에 존재하며, 수온은 $1\~5^{\circ}C$염분 34.06 psu이하이고 평균 두께는 175m이다. 동해중층수의 두께는 시공간적으로 크게 변하지 않지만, 울릉난수성 소용돌이가 존재하는 경우 동해중층수의 위치 수심은 더 깊어지고, 이 영향으로 상부동해고유수의 수심 또한 저층으로 침강하게 된다. 본 자료에 의하면, 울릉난수성 소용돌이가 갖는 볼록렌즈 모양의 수온 구조는 700m수심까지 존재한다. ARGO 뜰개들이 수집한 약 2년의 측정 기간과 짧은 시간 간격의 수직 수온-염분 프로파일 자료는 연구 해역의 상세 수직 구조 및 단기 시간-공간 변동성을 이해하는데 대단히 유용하였다.
