초록

인공위성 고도계로 측정한 해수면 높이 자료를 사용하여 준 실시간 동해 표층해류를 추정하기 위해, 세 가지 방법으로 평균 역학지형(또는 평균 해류장)을 계산하고 각각의 특징들을 살펴보았다. 프랑스 AVISO(Archiviing, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data)는 인공위성 고도계 자료와 수치모델을 이용하여 전 지구 해양에 대하여 수평적으로 $0.25^{\circ}$의 해상도를 갖는 평균 역학지형을 계산하고 지형류 방정식을 적용하여 평균 해류장을 만들어 제공하고 있다. 동해에서 장기간 관측한 수온과 염분 자료를 사용하여 500 dbar를 기준면으로 사용한 역학적 해면(steric height)을 계산하고 이를 평균 여각지형으로 환산하였다. 또한 14년 동안 동행의 표층을 이동한 표층뜰개들(ARGOS)의 궤적을 이용하여 평균 해류장을 구하였다. 인공위성 고도계로 관측한 해수면 편차와 세 가지 평균 역학지형을 합하여 절대 역학지형을 얻고, 각각의 절대 역학지형에 지형류 방정식을 적용하여 세 가지 표층해류를 추정하였다. 각 방법으로 추정된 표층해류를 2005년에 동해 남서부 해역에서 선박장착 초음파 해류계(ADCP)로 관측한 해류 자료와 정량적으로 비교하였다. 육지에서 50 km 이상 떨어진 해역에서는 인공위성 고도계로 측정한 해수면 자료에 지형류 방정식을 적용하여 구한 표층해류와 현장 관측 해류의 상관계수(R)가 0.58~0.73이며 두 자료의 제곱 평균 제곱근 편차(Root Mean Square Deviation, RMSD)는 $17.1{\sim}21.8cm\;s^{-1}$이다. 육지에서 50 km 이내의 연안에서 두자료의 R이 0.06~0.46로 상대적으로 낮고 RMSD는 $15.5{\sim}28.0cm\;s^{-1}$이다. 이처럼 연안에서는 인공위성 고도계로 관측한 해수면 높이 자료의 오차가 크므로 향후 연안에 대해서는 새로운 표층해류 추정 방법에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

In order to estimate sea surface current fields in the East Sea, we examined characteristics of mean dynamic topography (MDT) fields (or mean surface current field, MSC) generated from three different methods. This preliminary investigation evaluates the accuracy of surface currents estimated from satellite-derived sea level anomaly (SLA) data and three MDT fields in the East Sea. AVISO (Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data) provides a MDT field derived from satellite observation and numerical models with $0.25^{\circ}$ horizontal resolution. Steric height field relative to 500 dbar from temperature and salinity profiles in the East Sea supplies another MDT field. Trajectory data of surface drifters (ARGOS) in the East Sea for 14 years provide another MSC field. Absolute dynamic topography (ADT) field is calculated by adding SLA to each MDT. Application of geostrophic equation to three different ADT fields yields three surface geostrophic current fields. Comparisons were made between the estimated surface currents from the three different methods and in-situ current measurements from a ship-mounted ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) in the southwestern East Sea in 2005. For offshore areas more than 50 km away from the land, the correlation coefficients (R) between the estimated versus the measured currents range from 0.58 to 0.73, with 17.1 to $21.7\;cm\;s^{-1}$ root mean square deviation (RMSD). For coastal ocean within 50 km from the land, however, R ranges from 0.06 to 0.46 and RMSD ranges from 15.5 to $28.0\;cm\;s^{-1}$. Results from this study reveal that a new approach in producing MDT and SLA is required to improve the accuracy of surface current estimations for the shallow costal zones of the East Sea.
