Abstract

Harmonic analysis of tide data observed on the western coasts has been conducted. The changing trends of harmonic constants were reviewed. Overall, amplitudes of semidiurnal tide are not changed and present phases are faster than in the past. In Mokpo located in a semi-enclosed bay, the amplitudes have been greatly increased and the phases have become earlier due to construction of sea-dike and seawalls. Harmonic constants of diurnal tide have not been changed except Mokpo. In Mokpo the phases of diurnal tide have been earlier. Tidal ranges in spring tide and neap tide have not been significantly changed except Mokpo. In Mokpo tidal ranges have been increased and tidal flats widened. Approximate higher high water has been overall rising. Therefore, Korean western coasts can be easily inundated than before.

서해 연안해역에서 국립해양조사원이 관측한 기왕의 조위자료를 분석하여 조석 조화상수를 산출하고, 조화상수와 비조화상수의 변화추세와 원인을 고찰하였다. 전반적으로 반일주조의 진폭은 거의 변화하지 않았으나 위상은 빨라졌으며, 일주조의 진폭과 위상은 거의 변화하지 않았다. 그러나 내만에 위치한 목포에서는 하구언과 방조제 건설로 인해서 반일주조의 진폭은 크게 증가하고, 위상은 크게 빨라졌다. 전반적으로 일주조의 진폭과 위상은 변화하지 않았으나, 목포에서만 위상이 뚜렷하게 빨라졌다. 대조기 조석간만의 차는 목포를 제외하고는 크게 변화하지 않았으며, 목포에서는 조석확폭 현상으로 조차가 증가하고, 간사지의 폭이 넓어졌다. 약최고고조위는 전반적으로 과거에 비해서 상승하여 서해 연안에서 범람으로 인한 위험성이 증가하고 있었다. 약최고고조위와 약최저저조위의 변화는 평균해수면 상승과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있었다.
