초록

담수를 통해 유입되는 육상 기원 물질은 연안 일차 생산을 제어하는 주요 요소이므로 육상-해양 coupling을 파악하는 것은 연안 생태 변화를 이해하는데 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 육상-해양 coupling 양상을 시간에 따라 세 단계(Base flow, Plume event, Residual flow)로 구분하여 개념화하였고, 낙동강 하구에서 각 양상의 출현을 확인하기위해 다양한 플랫폼에서 측정된 자료를 사용하여 분석하였다. 사용된 자료는 원격 탐사 측정 자료(Geostationary Ocean Color Image; GOCI), 현장 실측 자료(Marine Environment Information System; MEIS), 연속 측정 자료(유량 자료, 기상 자료)로 구분될 수 있다. 주성분분석을 통해 MEIS 자료를 육상-해양 coupling의 세 단계로 구분하였고, 이 구분을 2013-2018년 동안의 여타 자료에 적용하여 단기간 육상-해양 coupling 양상을 살펴보았다. 낙동강 하구에서는 예상과는 달리 Plume event때 Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) 최대값이 나타났다. 이는 담수 증가에도 탁도 증가는 크지 않았고, 플러싱 효과도 약해 식물플랑크톤이 증가 할 수 있는 여건이 조성되었기 때문으로 분석되었다. 육상-해양 coupling을 기반으로 여러 하구들과 비교해보았을 때 육상-해양 coupling은 담수 유입에 영향을 받는 하구에서 흔한 현상이나 하구에서 형성되는 플룸 크기에 따라 육상-해양 coupling이 다르게 나타났다. 낙동강 하구처럼 작은 플룸(~10 km 규모) 이 형성되는 하구에서는 식물플랑크톤의 즉각적인 반응으로 인해 Plume event 단계에 Chl-a 최댓값이 나타나는 반면, ~100 km 이상의 큰 플룸이 형성되는 하구(담수 배출이 크고, 플러싱이 강한 곳)에서는 본 연구에서 개념화한 육상-해양 coupling 양상(Residual flow 때 Chl-a 최대)을 따르는 것으로 나타났다.

Since terrestrial input plays a major role in coastal primary production, an understanding of land-ocean coupling (LOC) is key to understand coastal ecological changes. In this study, the LOC has been classified into three stages (i.e., the baseflow, plume event and residual flow). In order to characterize its pattern in Nakdong River estuary, multi-platform data were obtained from remote sensing (geostationary ocean color image (GOCI)), in-situ measurement (marine environment information system (MEIS)), on-site measurement (discharge data and meteorological data). The MEIS data were grouped into three stages of LOC using principal component analysis (PCA), and the LOC (2013 ~ 2018) was examined at each stage using multi-platform data. In the Nakdong River estuary, the maximum value of chlorophyll-a (chl-a) was unexpectedly appeared during the plume event. It is assumed that there was no significant increase in turbidity, expected during the typical plume event, together with the weak flushing effect, caused the enhanced phytoplankton growth. Compared with other estuaries, LOC is common in estuaries affected by freshwater inflow, but LOC has different pattern depending on the size of the plume. While estuaries that form small plumes of about 10 km (low freshwater discharge and weak flushing effect) observed high chl-a in the plume event because the phytoplankton can response to the increased nutrient more rapidly. estuaries that form large plumes of more than 100 km est (high freshwater discharge and strong flushing effect) follow the typical LOC pattern conceptualized in this study (high chl-a in the residual flow).
