2000~2009년 동안 격월로 관측한 수온 관측 자료를 분석하여 표층 수온이 10년 동안 약 $1{\sim}1.9^{\circ}C$ 상승하는 경향을 관찰하였다. 상승폭이 해역마다 약간의 차이를 보이고 있는데 부산해역은 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$, 여수해역은 약 $1.7^{\circ}C$, 제주북부에서도 약 $1.7^{\circ}C$의 상승폭을 보임으로서 남해 동쪽보다는 서쪽해역의 상승폭이 약간 높게 나타났다. 남해 연안수의 평균 수온이 증가하는 추세경향으로 미루어 볼 때 남해 수온전선이 약해지게 되어 결과적으로 연안쪽으로 밀릴 것으로 추정된다. 제주도 모슬포는 약 $1.9^{\circ}C$ 가 상승하였으며 제주도 성산포는 2004~2009년 동안 약 $1.2^{\circ}C$ 상승하는 추세를 보였다. 이와 같은 수온의 변동성은 조위관측소에서 관측된 수온에서도 확인할 수 있는데 부산은 $0.2^{\circ}C$/8년, 여수 $0.4^{\circ}C$/10년, 제주북부는 $1.5^{\circ}C$/10년, 모슬포와 성산포는 $1^{\circ}C$/6년, 서귀포는 $1.7^{\circ}C$/8년 상승폭을 보인다. 조위관측소의 수온 상승폭보다 한국연안해류조사의 수온 상승폭이 약간 높게 나타나고 있는데 이는 관측소의 위치가 해안가에 있는 반면 연안해류조사는 선박을 이용하여 외해쪽에서 수온을 관측하기 때문에 고온 고염의 대마난류(Tsushima Warm Current) 영향을 더 많이 받았기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. 해수의 수온 상승 현상은 증가율이 약간 낮기는 하지만 50m 수심에서도 나타나고 있다. 부산해역, 여수해역, 제주북부 해역은 모두 약 $1.2^{\circ}C$의 상승폭을 보였으며, 제주도 성산포는 약 $1.1^{\circ}C$인 반면, 모슬포 해역에서는 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$로 상승추이가 크게 나타났다. 이와 같이 남해 연안수가 표층과 저층에서 동반 상승했다는 것은 대마난류의 세력이 강해졌다는 것을 보여주는 지시자(indicator)로서 최근 제주도와 남부지방의 기후온난화와 관련이 있을 것으로 추정된다. 하지만 상승률은 관측기간이 길어질수록 작아지는 경향이 있기 때문에 남해의 물리적 특성 변화를 보다 명확히 규명하기 위해서는 좀 더 장기적인 자료가 필요하다.

In order to elucidate the cause of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms in the Korea southern coastal water, we investigated observational data of water temperatures and salinities in summer and winter, obtained from the stoppage of ship by NFRDI (National Fisheries Research and Development Institute) as well as composite images by NOAA from 1995 to 2008. Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms occurred when water temperature was approximately $25.0{\sim}26.0^{\circ}C$ and salinity was 31.00 psu on average in Narodo neighboring seas. Different thermohaline fronts were observed between the Korea southern coastal water and the open sea water in summer and winter, respectively. That is, in winter four fronts were observed between the Korea southern coastal water with low temperature and low salinity, intermediate water originated from Tsushima Warm Current, Tsushima Warm Current with high temperature and high salinity, and the China coastal water with low temperature and low salinity. In contrast, in summer two fronts were observed between the Korea southern coastal water with low temperature and high salinity, Tsushima Warm Current with high temperature and low salinity, and the China coastal water with high temperature and high salinity. These thermohaline fronts also proved to be formed by two water masses with a different physical property, in terms of T-S diagrams. Consequently, we noticed that C. polykrikoides blooms occurring in Narodo neighboring seas in summer had a close relationship with thermohaline fronts observed between the Korea southern coastal water and Tsushima Warm Current.

The relationship between the transport of eggs and larvae of Anchovy (Engraulis japonica) and the oceanic condition in the southern sea of Korea was examined on August and November 1996. In summer (August), when the Tsushima Warm Current is strong near to the coast, the warm waters such as warm streamers from the Tsushima Warm Current intrude into the coastal area, and cyclonic circulations are formed. The warm water intrusions also generate wakes around Komun Island, Sori Island and Koje Island. In the coastal area where the warm water intrusions occur, the nutrients, dissolved oxygen, suspended solid and chlorophyll are concentrated in probably relation to the upwelling concerned with this warm streamer and/or the wakes. Anchovy eggs and larvae are transported to the coastal area by the cyclonic circulations. The hatching and growth of anchovy larvae are increased because of high primary production in the cyclonic circulations. However, as the amount of Copepods which are a main food for anchovy larvae decrease in the coastal area, anchovy larvae seem to move to the Isushima Warm Water area for seeking a prey. In autumn (November), the Tsushima Warm Current is far away from the coast. In this season the warm water intrusions almost disappear, and the small scaled frontal eddies are formed between the coastal water and the Tsushima Warm Water. As the surface water moves towards offshore, few anchovy eggs and larvae were sampled in the survey area. Chemical and biological substances are concentrated in the leftdown sides of the small scaled frontal eddies because of eddy formation.

제주해협에 접해 있는 한국남해연안역은 대체로 50m미만의 천해로써 제주해협에 비해 계절별로 하계에 저온ㆍ고염분수, 동계에 저온ㆍ저염분수가 출현해 해협내 연중 전선을 형성하는 해역으로서 특히, 한국 남해연안역에 위치해 있는 추자도 주변해역은 지형적 특성상 대마난류수, 한국 남해연안수와 중국대륙연안수, 황해저층냉수 등 이러한 이질수괴들이 시기와 계절별로 서로 상접하여 복잡한 해황을 형성하는 해역이다(Rho, 1985, 최, 1989, 김ㆍ노, 1994, Yoon, 1986, Rhoㆍ평야, 1983). (중략)

The temporal and spatial distribution of the coastal cold waters which was formed due to winter colling in the South Sea of Korea was analyzed by IR images from satellite and in situ data from shipboard observations. The coastal waters are known to be consisted of the Yellow Sea Coastal Waters(YSCW) and the South Korean Coastal Waters(SKCW). The former is driven around the Chuja-do and drifted into the Cheju Strait by residual currents, while the latter expands toward offsea by southward wind forcing. The expansion patterns of the SKCW were observed as sinking expansion or drifting expansion such that both were strongly dependent on the surface heat flux conditions. Under the condition of positive heat flux(warmer sea surface) or when the sea surface heat is lost to the atmosphere, the surface water started sinking and eventually expanded toward the open sea causing the cooling of the water column. For the negative heat flux the surface water was just drifted horizontally and expanded seaward and in this case only the surface layer of water was cooled.

겨울철에 우리나라는 서고동저형 기압 배치에 의한 북서계절풍이 지배적이다. 그리고 수시로 온대저기압이 발달하면서 우리나라 인근을 동진하면서 때때로 악천후를 동반하기도 한다. 지속성이 강한 계절풍은 선박의 안전운항과 기상재해에 큰 원인을 제공한다. 이 연구에서는 최근 20년간(1993-2012년)의 장기간의 데이터를 이용하여 우리나라 연안의 관측점 8곳에 있어서의 겨울철 바람 분포의 특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 우리나라 서해 연안에 있어서의 겨울철 풍속은 인천을 제외한 군산 및 목포에서 시간의 흐름과 함께 약해지는 경향을 보인다. 그리고 동해 연안의 관측점 3곳(포항, 울진, 속초) 모두에서 시간의 흐름과 함께 풍속이 약해지고 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 남해 연안의 경우는 여수 및 통영에서 시간의 흐름과 함께 풍속은 크게 변하지 않았다. 계절풍의 영향이 남해 연안보다 강한 서해 및 동해 연안의 바람이 약해지는 경향을 보이는 것은 겨울철의 전형적인 서고동저형 기압 배치의 변화 등에서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있을 것이다. 남해 연안의 풍속에 큰 변화가 없는 것은 계절풍보다는 온대저기압의 영향을 더 크게 받기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

A tongue-like warm water which is a part of the Tsushima Warm Current appears whole year around in the east entrance of the Jeju Strait. Because of this warm water, the current direction flowing into the Jeju Strait from its west area seems to be changed in the Jeju Strait. Therefore the intermediate and bottom water of the Jeju Strait may greatly influence the formation of the coastal water in the South Coast of Korea. Since this tongue-like warm water is stronger in winter than in summer in its formation, Tsushima Warm Current comes closer to the South Coast of Korea in winter and its north boundary frequently approaches close to the coast of Geomun Island and Sori Island.

In order to investigate the distribution of suspended particulate matter of the surface water in the South Sea of Korea in early winter, the cruise results during 2 to 8 December 2004 were analyzed in relation to the hydrography. The front was formed along the line connecting between Tsushima and Cheju Islands, which divided the water into two water masses; the coastal water with for temperature and for salinity, and the Tsushima Warm Current Water with high temperature and high salinity. In the coastal water the suspended particulte matter was 5.0-6.5 mg/l, while in the oceanic water suspended particulate matter was 4.5-5.0 mg/l. The coastal water showed higher mixing effects, compared to the oceanic area where vertical stratification was clearly formed. These indicate that the distribution of suspended particulate matter was affected by the stratification or mixing of the water column. Also it is suggested that the mixing effects of sea surface cooling and rind play an important role on the distribution of suspended particulate matter in the South Sea of Korea in winter time.

In order to investigate the seasonal variation of watermass in the central coast of the southern sea of korea, oceanographic observation on the fishing grounds were carried out by the trainingship of Yosu University on May, Aug. and Nov. in 1998 and Feb. in 1999. The resultes obtained are summerized as follows : 1). The watermass in the fishing ground were divided into the coastal water(30.0~31.6$\textperthousand$ ), mixing water(31.7~33.4$\textperthousand$) and the offshore water(33.5~35.0$\textperthousand$) according to the distribution of salinity from T-S diagram plotted all salinity data observed on May, Aug. and Nov. in 1998 and Feb. in 1999. 2) The ranges of temperature and salinity were from 14.1$^{\circ}C$ to 18.8$^{\circ}C$ and from 32.2$\textperthousand$ to 34.9$\textperthousand$ in spring(May), from 14.2$^{\circ}C$ to 27.7$^{\circ}C$ and from 29.0$\textperthousand$ to 34.7$\textperthousand$ in summer(August), from 13.4$^{\circ}C$ to 21.3$^{\circ}C$ and from 31.45$\textperthousand$ to 34.5$\textperthousand$ in autumn(November) and from 8.2$^{\circ}C$ to 14.8$^{\circ}C$ and from 33.9$\textperthousand$ to 34.6$\textperthousand$ in winter(February), respectively. 3) The distribution of watermass in the fishing ground varied largely each seasons, but a general tendency on the distribution was obtained. That is, in spring and autumm the offshore water was distributed most widely and in summer the coastal and mixing water occupied the fishing ground but in winter the offshore water prevailed. 4) Variation of temperature and salinity were appeared between the surface and 30m in the coastal region and between the surface and 50m in the open ocaen region. Therefore, in the summer the thermocline and halocline were made between surface and 30m layer with vertical gradients of 10.5$^{\circ}C$/30m and 4.0$\textperthousand$/30m in the coastal region and in the open ocean region the thermocline and halocline were made between surface and 50m layer with vertical gradients of 13.$0^{\circ}C$/50m and 3.8$\textperthousand$/50m.

We investigated seasonal changes in the marine environments and phytoplankton communities in the western part of south coastal waters of Korea during May 2009 and February 2010. In multidimensional scaling analysis of in situ data obtained by shipboard observations, the coastal waters comprised four different water masses: Yellow Sea water mass (YW) of low temperature and salinity, and high suspended solids and nutrient concentrations; south-western coastal water mass (SW) of high salinity and nutrient concentrations; Tsushima Current water mass (TW) of low nutrient concentrations, and high temperature and salinity; and closed bay water mass (CW). The spatial extent of these water masses varied according to seasonal environmental characteristics. In particular, at most study sites, TW expanded during autumn toward coastal waters. Phytoplankton abundances peaked during autumn in CW and spring in YW, which coincided with periods of high nutrient concentrations. In particular, diatoms predominated, and attained an abundance of more than 90% in most water masses. However, dinoflagellates in TW comprised a proportion of approximately 20% abundance.
