기후변화로 인해 전 세계적으로 평균해수면이 상승하고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 전반적으로 평균해수면이 상승하는 추세를 보이고 있다(Yoon and Kim, 2012; Jung, 2014, Yang et al., 2022). 해수면의 상승은 연안저지대 범람, 내수배제 불량 등의 피해를 증가시킬 수 있으므로, 해수면 상승에 대한 분석과 장래 해수면변화에 대한 정확한 예측은 매우 중요한 사항이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 평균해수면의 변화는 전 지구적 평균해수면의 변화와는 별개로 지역적으로 변동특성이 크게 다르게 나타날 수 있는데(Yang and Hwang, 2021), 해수면의 시간적/공간적 변화가 중첩되는 경우 단기간에 해수면 상승이 가속화 될 수 있으며 이로 인한 취약지역이 발생할 가능성이 매우 크기 때문에(Arnoldo et al, 2017), 평균해수면의 시간적/공간적 변화양상을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요한 사항이라 하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서해안에 분포한 조위관측소의 조위 관측자료를 이용하여 평균해수면의 시간적/공간적 변화에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 서해안의 북부보다 남부로 갈수록 평균해수면의 변화량이 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 과거의 변화량보다 최근의 평균해수면 변화가 더 큰 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

해수면의 변화를 분석하는 대표적인 방법 중 하나는 관측된 조위자료를 평균하여 평균해수면을 산정하고, 이를 이용하여 해수면의 상승 혹은 하강 추세를 파악하는 것이다. 평균해수면의 산정시 별도의 분석없이 단순한 산술평균만으로 평균해수면을 산정할 수 있어 해수면의 변화를 간편하게 추정할 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 관측된 조위자료는 천문조, 기상조 및 기후변화 등에 의한 변화가 모두 반영된 자료이기 때문에 장래의 해수면 변화를 정확하게 추정하기에는 어려움이 있다. 인위적인 개발이 없는 상태에서의 장기적인 해수면 변화는 주로 기후변화에 기인하기 때문에 미래의 변화를 정확하게 추정하기 위해서는 기후변화에 의한 해수면 변화, 즉 장주기 성분만을 고려한 분석이 수행되어야 정확한 미래 해수면 변화 산정이 가능하다(Kang et al., 2008; Pugh, 2004; Yang et al., 2002). 이에 본 연구에서는 관측된 조위자료에 저역통과필터(Low-pass filter)를 이용하여 천문조, 기상조 등의 단주기적 변동성을 제외하고, 장주기적 성분만을 고려한 평균해수면 변화 분석이 수행되었다. 분석결과, 산술평균으로 산정된 평균해수면의 상승경향에 비해 장주기적 성분만을 고려한 평균해수면 상승량이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The change of sea-level is a good indicator of the change of climate during the Quaternary period. The sea-levels in the world have been changing very irregularly during that time. The pattern of the Quaternary sea-level change was assumed to be a stochastic fractal in this study. We measured fractal dimensions of the Holocene sea-levels of the Hudson river estuary and the Delaware coast. A box counting method gave almost the same values. i.e., D=1.358 for the Hudson sea-level changes and D+1.346 for the Delaware sea-level changes. the ability of the inverse method of fractal interposea-levels. IFIF reproduction the realistic sea-levels for the both of them. The delaware sea-level data made less statistical errors for the interpolation of IFIF than the Hudson and the Delaware sea-levels. IFIF reproduction the realistic sea-levels for the both of them. The Delaware sea-level data made less statistical errors for the interpolation of IFIF than the Hudson sea-level data. This suggests that the Delaware sea-level data are more reliable than the Hudson sea-level data was calculated from the fractal dimension of the Delaware sea-level data. Fractal interpolation functions (FIF) was used to reconstruct the peleosea-levels of the Korean coasts and the Atlantic Ocean coasts of the United States. The Korean Peleosea-level change generacted by FIF is different from the peleosea-level change of the eastern U.S.. The Korean peleosea-levels are much higher than the eastern U.S. Paleosea-levels, comparing to each other from the present to 8,000 BP.

This study aims to analyze the interdecadal variation of relationship between Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) during the period of 1948-2005. In the pre-period, which is from 1948 to 1975, the relationship between Indian Ocean SST and East Asian summer rainfall anomaly (EASRA) is very weak. However, in the post-period, which is trom 1980 to 2005, Indian Ocean SST is significantly positively correlated with EASRA. The equatorial Indian Ocean SST has a significantly positive correlation with EASM in spring, while Indian Ocean SST near the bay of Bengal has a positive relationship in summer for the post-period. Also the interdecadal variation of the correlation between Indian Ocean SST and EASRA is significant, but that between EASRA and the El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is not. Atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) test results show the pattern of increased precipitation in the zonal belt region including South Korea and Japan and the pattern of decreased precipitation in the northeastern part of Asia, which are similar to the real climate. The increase of the precipitation in August from the model run is also similar to the real climate variation. Model results indicate that the Indian Ocean SST warming could intensify the convection over the vicinity of the Philippines and the Bay of Bengal, which forces to move northward the convection center. This warming strengthens the EASM and weakens the WNPM.

Sea level fluctuations during the Holocene reconstructed by the results of age dating, microfossils researches and sedimentary facies from coastal alluvial plains contain the valuable informations on climatic changes. The sea level during 'maximum phase of transgression' during 6,000~5,000 yr BP was slightly higher than the present by approximately 0.8~1.0 m and the summer temperature conditions seemed to be higher than those of the present by 2~3℃ in the Central Europe when the period of 'Climatic Optimum' might be dominant. The sea level in Korean Peninsula was assumed by 0.8~1.0 m higher at that time compared to the present and climate seemed to be warmer. At 2,000~1,800 yr BP in Korean Peninsula, the sea level reached the higher stand than the present by approximately 1.1~1.3 m and the climatic conditions might be warm similar to the period of 'Climatic Optimum'. Although the temperature in the Central Europe during the period of 'Subboreal' was about 2~3℃ cooler, it is supposed that the sea level in Korean Peninsula was relatively higher than the present. The sea level at 2,300 yr BP might be similar to that of the present, which was the lowest level since the mid-Holocene. From the fact, climatic environment during the cold period might not be reflected exactly in the sea level.

Molluscan shells were sampled from the continental shelf of South Sea: 19 stations in the southeast continental shelf and 5 in the southwest sea, in order to understand characteristics of sea level changes and time-averaging since the last glacial age. Radiocarbon dates were made on 42 dominant and specific species which were sampled from 24 stations. Time-averaging was observed and showed to be 11,939 years in age difference. The sea-level ranged from 150 to 160 m below sea level during the LGM (about 15,000 yrs B.P). The sea-level significantly rose to 60 m at around 9,000 yrs B.P. and became stable at 50 to 60 m between periods between 4,000 and 5,000 yrs B.P. Between 3,000 and 4,000 yrs B.P, the sea-level rapidly rose to a depth of $10\~20m$ below today’s present sea level.

지역적 기후변동은 전구평균 변화와는 다른 양상을 가진다. 그러나, 현재 전구적 기후변동과 해수면의 변화가 국지적으로 미칠 영향에 대한 추정능력은 매우 제한되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 NCAR(국립 대기 연구소)의 CSM (Climate System Model) 버전 1.2를 이용하여 전구뿐만 아니라 국지적인 시뮬레이션을 함께 수행하였다, 특히 북서태평양과 그 부근지역에 대한 해수변화를 중점적으로 연구했다. (중략)

In order to understand the Holocene sea level changes in the eastern Yellow Sea, the west coast of Korea, and to compare the rates of sea level rise in each period of time, the geological proxy records for pre-instrumental era and measurement data for the present day were combined and analysed. The sea level in the Yellow Sea rose fast with a rate of about 10 mm/yr during the early Holocene, and decelerated down to 1 mm/yr since the mid to late Holocene. The rising rates of sea level in the 20th century were slightly higher than those in the late Holocene. The present-day rates of sea level rise, known as the 'rapid' rise, are in fact much lower or similar, compared to the early to mid Holocene sea levels in the study area. Recent tide-gauge data show that sea level rise in the eastern Yellow Sea has been accelerating toward the 21st century. These rising trends coincide well with global rising patterns in sea level. Additionally, the present-day rising trends of sea level in this study are correlated with increased rates of carbon dioxide concentrations and sea surface temperatures, further indicating a signal to global warming associated with the human effect. Thus, the sea level changes induced by current global warming observed in the eastern Yellow Sea and world's oceans can be considered as 'Anthropocene' sea level changes. The changes in sea level are based on instrumental measurements such as tide-gauges and satellite altimetry, meaning the instrumental era. The Holocene changes in sea level can thus be reconstructed from geological proxy records, whereas the Anthropocene sea-level changes can be solely based on instrumental measurements.

Sea-surface temperature (SST) is one of the most important oceanic variables for understanding air-sea interactions, heat flux variations, and oceanic circulation in the global ocean. Extremely low SSTs from 0℃ down to -2℃ should be more important than other normal temperatures because of their notable roles in inducing and regulating global climate and environmental changes. To understand the temporal and spatial variability of such extremely low SSTs in the global ocean, the long-term SST climatology was calculated using the daily SST database of satellites observed for the period from 1982 to 2018. In addition, the locations of regions with extremely low surface temperatures of less than 0℃ and monthly variations of isothermal lines of 0℃ were investigated using World Ocean Atlas (WOA) climatology based on in-situ oceanic measurements. As a result, extremely low temperatures occupied considerable areas in polar regions such as the Arctic Ocean and Antarctic Ocean, and marginal seas at high latitudes. Six earth science textbooks were analyzed to investigate how these extremely low temperatures were visualized. In most textbooks, illustrations of SSTs began not from extremely low temperatures below 0℃ but from a relatively high temperature of 0℃ or higher, which prevented students from understanding of concepts and roles of the low SSTs. As data visualization is one of the key elements of data literacy, illustrations of the textbooks should be improved to ensure that SST data are adequately visualized in the textbooks. This study emphasized that oceanic literacy and data literacy could be cultivated and strengthened simultaneously through visualizations of oceanic big data by using satellite SST data and oceanic in-situ measurements.

Correlations between air-temperature variation and SST variation around Jeju Island have been studied with data JRMO($1924{\sim}2004$) and NFRDI($l971{\sim}2000$). Air-temperature has increased about $0.02^{circ}C/year$ for the period of $1924{\sim}2004$ but relatively high 0.035/year for the last 30 years. SST has increased about $0.024^{circ}C/year$ for the period of $1971{\sim}2000$ and relatively high $0.047^{circ}C/year$ in December. According to the analysis of time series of the two kind of variation, the SST and air-temperature are positively correlated. They are generally in phase, and SST anomaly is similar to air-temperature anomaly as well. Consequently, SST variation has high correlation with air-temperature variation around Jeju Island.
