Abstract

We reconstructed and digitized the National Institute of Fisheries Science (NIFS) Serial Oceanographic observations (NSO) and Coastal Oceanographic observations (NCO) data attained prior to 1961 through historical oceanographic observation data rescue projects. Increasing trends of long-term sea surface temperature (SST) were shown from the NSO data of 21 available stations for the past 80 to 92 years. In general agreement with previous research results used in the data of the past 50 years, we calculated the rate of temperature rise. As a result of analyzing the spatial distribution of SST change rate in the Korean of shore region using selected oceanographic data, the West Sea and South Sea showed a higher tendency of temperature rise in the offshore area than in the coastal area. However, unlike the results of previous studies, the East Sea (Gangwon Line and Ulsan Line) showed a lower water temperature rise than the coastal stations. Annual fluctuations of NCO's SST data from 1989 to 1998 for three stations representing the East Sea, South Sea, and West Sea, (Jumunjin, Geomundo and Budo, respectively) revealed that the East Sea showed the highest SST increase for the 10 years. The increases were 1.63 ℃ at Jumunjin, 1.16 ℃ at Geomundo, and 0.79 ℃ at Budo. As a result of the investigation, it can be concluded that SST is repeatedly rising and falling with a period of 3 ~ 6 years. Especially, since the 1980s, most of the stations show positive anomalies of SST. Lastly, to understand ocean_atmosphere interactions, we analyzed the correlations between SST of the NCO stations and air temperature around them and the results were 0.76 for the South Sea (Geomundo), 0.34 for the West Sea (Budo), and 0.32 for the East Sea (Jumunjin) with the highest correlation in the South Sea.

국립수산과학원은 과거 해양관측자료 복원사업을 통해 1961년 이전의 정선해양관측 및 연안정지관측 자료를 복원하여 디지털화 하였다. 먼저 한국근해 해양관측(정선해양관측) 자료 중 과거부터 현재까지 정점이 일치하는 21개 정점에 대한 지난 80년-92년간 표층수온의 연변동을 분석한 결과 다소 차이는 있으나 상승 경향을 나타내었으며, 서해와 남해는 기존 연구와 동일하게 연안역보다 근해역에 위치한 정점에서 수온상승 경향이 높게 나타났다. 그러나 동해는 기존 연구와 달리 연안역보다 근해역에 위치한 정점에서 낮은 수온상승 경향을 나타내었다. 다음으로 복원된 연안정지관측 자료 중 각 동·서·남해를 대표할 수 있는 3개 정점에 대한 지난 89년-98년간 표층수온의 연변동을 살펴보면 동해(주문진, 1.63℃), 남해(거문도, 1.16℃). 서해(부도, 0.79℃)로 동해의 상승경향이 가장 뚜렷하였으며, 뚜렷한 주기성은 파악하기 어려우나 대체로 3~6년을 주기로 상승과 하강을 반복함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 1980년대 이후 대부분 정점에서 양의 편차를 나타내었다. 마지막으로 해양-대기 상호작용을 이해하기 위해 연안정지관측정점의 표층수온변화에 따른 기온의 상관성을 분석한 결과 상관계수 값이 남해(거문도)는 0.76, 서해(부도)는 0.34, 동해(주문진)는 0.32로 남해가 가장 높게 나타났다.
