본 연구는 황해 아산만 중앙천퇴(Surface Sediment)에서 최근 대규모 방조제 건설과 연안 준설로 인해 야기된 해저지형변화에 대한 연구이다. 이러한 해저지형변화는 해도상의 수심정보를 왜곡시킴으로써 국제항을 출입하는 대형선박의 안전항해에 위험요소로 작용할 수 있어, 안전한 항해수로 확보 및 해양사고 저감 대책 마련이 시급하다. 이러한 맥락에서 근본적인 중앙천퇴 지형변화의 원인, 해저지형변화의 양상을 파악하는 것이 이 연구의 일차적인 목적이다. 더 나아가 장 단기 해저지형변화 예측을 통해, 궁극적으로 항해 위험요소 저감 대책 및 정책 마련 시 과학적인 핵심기반기술을 제공하는 것이다. 결국 GIS 기반의 해저지형 공간 분석을 토대로 기존의 미시적인 데이터에 의거한 퇴적환경 연구결과를 객관화하고 정량적인 근거를 제시하는 도구로 활용할 것이다.

During the winter in February 1998, January and April 1999, interdisciplinary research was conducted in a large area including the South Sea of Korea and northern East China Sea to examine distribution and structure. Water masses identified from the observed data are Warm Water originated from Tsushima Warm Current, Yellow Sea Cold Water (Northern or Central Cold Water) and Korean Southern Sea Cold Water. In the southern Yellow Sea, Warm Water originated from Tsushima Warm Current, flowing into the Cheju Strait after turning around the western Cheju Island, makes a front of '┍' shape, which is bounded by the Yellow Sea Central Cold Water in the southern part of Daeheuksan Island and by the Yellow Sea Northern Cold Water in the eastern part of the Yangtze Bank. This front changes its corner shape and position with strength of the warm water extension toward northwestern Yellow Sea. The position and structure of the fronts off the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsular and near the Yangtze Bank varies with observation period. In the front in the South Sea of Korea, cold coastal water which if formed independently due to local cooling, ,sinks along the sloping bottom. We explained the processes of variations in the distribution and structure of these winter fronts in terms of up-wind and down-wind flow by the seasonal monsoon, heat budget through the sea surface and density difference across the fronts.
