Abstract

In the present study, the storm waves at the Korean Straits of April, 2016 have been reproduced by the wave hindcasting, and then their characteristics were investigated. Before the wave hindcasting, the wave measurements at the Korean Straits were analyzed. The analysis showed that the waves at the Korean Straits were dominated by the Northeastern waves, same as those in the East Sea. Accordingly, the wave hindcasting was been carried out with the same condition in Ahn et al. (2016). In the numerical results, the maximum significant wave height at the Korean Straits was 5.06 m, and the corresponding significant wave period was 9.2 s. The computed significant wave heights and wave periods were overestimated by 4 cm and 0.8 s, respectively. After the wave hindcasting, the computed significant wave heights and peak periods were compared with the JONSWAP relationship. This comparison showed that the storm waves at the Korean Straits were close to wind waves, not swell.

본 연구에서는 파랑 후측모의 실험을 통해 2016년 4월 대한해협에서 발생한 폭풍 파랑을 재현하고, 당시 폭풍 파랑의 특성을 조사하였다. 파랑 후측모의 실험에 앞서 파랑관측자료를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 계산 영역을 설정하였다. 본 연구의 분석에 따르면, 대한해협 지역은 NE 계열의 파랑이 지배적으로 나타나며 이는 동해 지역의 파랑 특성과 일치하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 Ahn et al.(2016)과 동일한 계산 조건을 적용하여 파랑 계산을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 계산 결과, 최대 유의파고 및 해당되는 유의파 주기는 각각 5.06 m, 9.2 s로, 이의 오차는 4 cm, 0.8 s 정도 되며 관측결과와 잘 일치하고 있었다. 이 후, 파랑계산 결과 얻은 유의파고 및 첨두주기를 JONSWAP 관계식과 비교하였는데, 이에 따르면 2016년 4월의 폭풍 파랑은 너울성 파랑보다는 풍파 성향이 더욱 강한 것으로 분석되었다.
