Abstract
The low temperature, low salinity and low density sea water which was originated from the southern part of the Yellow Sea and distributed from the surface to 20 m depth was transported by the northwesterly wind during the period from the middle of March to the beginning of April, 1998 and had an influence on the northern coastal sea area of Cheju Island. Accordingly, this kind of accumulated data may supply the fundamental data for the realtime monitoring of oceanographic conditions and may improve degree of the forecasting accuracy of fishing and oceanographic conditions.
