강수량의 특성 및 계절적인 양상은 지협적인 원인이기 보다는 해수면 온도(sea surface temperature)와 같은 기상 현상에 주로 영향을 받는다. 이러한 관점에서 강수량과 같은 수문변량의 장기적인 거동을 기상인자로부터 유추하고자 하는 연구는 무엇보다 중요하며 이러한 추론을 바탕으로 강수량의 장기예측 및 모의를 위한 기본적인 도구로 활용을 가능케 한다. 따라서 본 연구의 주요 목적은 해수면 온도를 기본으로 강수량과 기온의 변동성 및 상관성을 분석하고자 하며, 무엇보다 한반도 근해의 해수면 온도와의 직 간접적인 개연성을 살펴봄으로서 보다 효과적인 강수량 예측을 위한 하나의 변수로서의 가능성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 다양한 분석 방법 즉, 연주기를 제거하지 않은 자료의 선형적인 지체 상관 분석, 연주기를 제거하기 위해 표준화 된 자료의 지체 상관 분석 및 비모수적 상관분석을 수행하였다. 연주기를 제거하지 않은 자료의 경우 매우 강한 상관관계를 나타내었지만 이는 주로 계절 특성으로 인한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 연주기를 제거한 Anomaly는 상대적으로 매우 작은 상관성을 보이고 있으나 유의성 검토를 통해 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 존재함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 강수량의 예측을 하나의 변수로서 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료되나 근해뿐만 아니라 한반도 기상의 연관성을 갖는 타 지역기상인자와의 보다 통합적인 검토가 필요하다 하겠다.

The accuracy and error characteristics of microwave Sea Surface Temperature (SST) measurements in the Northwest Pacific were analyzed by utilizing 162,264 collocated matchup data between GCOM-W1/AMSR2 data and oceanic in-situ temperature measurements from July 2012 to August 2016. The AMSR2 SST measurements had a Root-Mean-Square (RMS) error of about $0.63^{\circ}C$ and a bias error of about $0.05^{\circ}C$. The SST differences between AMSR2 and in-situ measurements were caused by various factors, such as wind speed, SST, distance from the coast, and the thermal front. The AMSR2 SST data showed an error due to the diurnal effect, which was much higher than the in-situ temperature measurements at low wind speed (<6 m/s) during the daytime. In addition, the RMS error tended to be large in the winter because the emissivity of the sea surface was increased by high wind speeds and it could induce positive deviation in the SST retrieval. Low sensitivity at colder temperature and land contamination also affected an increase in the error of AMSR2 SST. An analysis of the effect of the thermal front on satellite SST error indicated that SST error increased as the magnitude of the spatial gradient of the SST increased and the distance from the front decreased. The purpose of this study was to provide a basis for further research applying microwave SST in the Northwest Pacific. In addition, the results suggested that analyzing the errors related to the environmental factors in the study area must precede any further analysis in order to obtain more accurate satellite SST measurements.

Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is an important environmental indicator that affects climate coupling systems around the world. In particular, coastal regions suffer from abnormal SST resulting in huge socio-economic damage. This study used Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Long Short Term Memory (ConvLSTM) to predict SST up to 7 days in the south sea region in South Korea. The results showed that the ConvLSTM model outperformed the LSTM model, resulting in a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.33℃ and a mean difference of -0.0098℃. Seasonal comparison also showed the superiority of ConvLSTM to LSTM for all seasons. However, in summer, the prediction accuracy for both models with all lead times dramatically decreased, resulting in RMSEs of 0.48℃ and 0.27℃ for LSTM and ConvLSTM, respectively. This study also examined the prediction of abnormally high SST based on three ocean heatwave categories (i.e., warning, caution, and attention) with the lead time from one to seven days for an ocean heatwave case in summer 2017. ConvLSTM was able to successfully predict ocean heatwave five days in advance.

Satellite sea surface temperature (SST) composites provide important data for numerical forecasting models and for research on global warming and climate change. In this study, six types of representative SST composite database were collected from 2007 to 2018 and the characteristics of spatial structures of SSTs were analyzed in seas around the Korean Peninsula. The SST composite data were compared with time series of in-situ measurements from ocean meteorological buoys of the Korea Meteorological Administration by analyzing the maximum value of the errors and its occurrence time at each buoy station. High differences between the SST data and in-situ measurements were detected in the western coastal stations, in particular Deokjeokdo and Chilbaldo, with a dominant annual or semi-annual cycle. In Pohang buoy, a high SST difference was observed in the summer of 2013, when cold water appeared in the surface layer due to strong upwelling. As a result of spectrum analysis of the time series SST data, daily satellite SSTs showed similar spectral energy from in-situ measurements at periods longer than one month approximately. On the other hand, the difference of spectral energy between the satellite SSTs and in-situ temperature tended to magnify as the temporal frequency increased. This suggests a possibility that satellite SST composite data may not adequately express the temporal variability of SST in the near-coastal area. The fronts from satellite SST images revealed the differences among the SST databases in terms of spatial structure and magnitude of the oceanic fronts. The spatial scale expressed by the SST composite field was investigated through spatial spectral analysis. As a result, the high-resolution SST composite images expressed the spatial structures of mesoscale ocean phenomena better than other low-resolution SST images. Therefore, in order to express the actual mesoscale ocean phenomenon in more detail, it is necessary to develop more advanced techniques for producing the SST composites.

전 세계적으로 지구 온난화 등의 영향으로 인해 이상기후의 발생이 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 특히 엘니뇨 현상은 세계적으로 발생하는 홍수, 가뭄 등과 같은 재해와 많은 관련이 있음이 연구를 통해 확인되었다. 이러한 엘니뇨 현상을 판단하기 위해서는 다양한 자료들이 사용되고 있으며, 그 중 관측 인자의 하나로서 태평양 해수면 온도 자료 (Pacific sea surface temperature)를 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 강수량 자료와 태평양 해수면 온도의 원격상관 (Teleconnection) 관계를 분석하였다. 강수량 자료로는 우리나라 20개 기상관측소의 월강수량 자료를 사용하였으며, 태평양 해수면 온도 자료로는 Nino1+2 $(0-10^{\circ}S,\;90^{\circ}W-80^{\circ}W)$, Nino3 ($5^{\circ}N-5^{\circ}S$, $150^{\circ}W-90^{\circ}W)$, Nino4 ($5^{\circ}N-5^{\circ}S$, $160^{\circ}E-150^{\circ}W$) 그리고 Nino3.4 ($5^{\circ}N-5^{\circ}S$, $170^{\circ}W-120^{\circ}W$) 관측 지역의 해수면 온도 자료를 사용하였다. 우리나라 강수량의 경우 계절에 따라 큰 변동성을 보이고 있다. 따라서 자료의 계절적 영향을 파악하기 위해 봄 (3월, 4월, 5월), 여름 (6월, 7월, 8월), 가을 (9월, 10월, 11월) 그리고 겨울 (12월, 1월, 2월)의 4계절로 구분하여, 초과확률 등을 이용한 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 Warm ENSO episode의 경우 강수량 증가와 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈으며, Cold ENSO episode의 경우 강수량 감소와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이러한 분석 결과는 최근 들어 우리나라에 발생하고 있는 이상기후발생과 관련된 연구에 유용한 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Sea Surface Temperature (SST), one of the ocean features, has a significant impact on climate, marine ecosystem and human activities. Therefore, SST prediction has been always an important issue. Recently, deep learning has drawn much attentions, since it can predict SST by training past SST patterns. Compared to the numerical simulations, deep learning model is highly efficient, since it can estimate nonlinear relationships between input data. With the recent development of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in computer, large amounts of data can be calculated repeatedly and rapidly. In this study, Short-term SST will be predicted through Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based U-Net that can handle spatiotemporal data concurrently and overcome the drawbacks of previously existing deep learning-based models. The SST prediction performance depends on the seasonal and interannual SST variabilities around the southern coast of Korea. The predicted SST has a wide range of variance during spring and summer, while it has small range of variance during fall and winter. A wide range of variance also has a significant correlation with the change of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) index. These results are found to be affected by the intensity of the seasonal and PDO-related interannual SST fronts and their intensity variations along the southern Korean seas. This study implies that the SST prediction performance using the developed deep learning model can be significantly varied by seasonal and interannual variabilities in SST.

AQUA/AMSR-E 인공위성 자료를 활용하여 3차원 최적내삽 해수면온도 합성장을 생산하였고 시간평균장과 비교하여 문제점과 한계점을 기술하였다. 3-D SST 합성장은 북태평양 중앙부에서 전체적으로 $0.05^{\circ}C$ 이하의 작은 오차를 보였으나, 위성 결측이 있는 연안에서는 $0.4^{\circ}C$ 이상의 비교적 큰 오차를 유발하였다. 강한 강수나 구름으로 인한 결측이 있는 부분에서는 $0.1\sim0.15^{\circ}C$에 달하는 오차를 보였다. 시간평균장과 비교한 결과, 구름 부근의 화소에서는 해수면온도를 낮게 계산하는 경향이 있었으며, 해수면온도의 공간적 구배를 감소시키는 평활화가 전체적으로 나타났다. 저위도에서 OI SST는 실제 해수면온도에는 없는 불연속성을 만드는 경향이 있었고, 이는 OI 과정에서 사용한 윈도우의 크기와 해양 현상의 수평 규모가 위도에 따라 변화하는데서 기인하였다. 현상의 공간 규모의 척도인 로스비 내부 변형 반경은 북태평양에서 O(1) 정도로 위도에 따른 공간적 변화가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 SST 합성장 생산 과정에 위도와 해수의 수직적 밀도 구조와 밀접한 관련이 있는 해양 현상의 수평적 규모의 시공간적 변동 특성을 고려해야 함을 제시한다.

This study investigates the characteristic spatial patterns and dynamic processes associated with the summertime extreme temperature events in South Korea during the last 20 years (1995~2014) using Self-Organizing Map (SOM). The classified SOM patterns commonly have high temperature and anticyclonic circulation anomalies over South Korea. The two major teleconnection patterns are identified: one is from the subtropical western North Pacific (WNP) affecting to the north and the other is from the North Atlantic (NA) affecting downstream region. The meridional teleconnection pattern is related to the forcing of positive sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly over the WNP. The northward propagating Rossby wave generates the East Asia-Pacific (EAP) pattern to form an anticyclonic circulation anomaly over South Korea. On the other hand, NA SST anomalies generate an eastward Rossby wave train across the Eurasian continent, leading to the development of an anticyclonic circulation anomaly over South Korea. The EAP pattern occurs more frequently in July and August, whereas the midlatitude teleconnection pattern associated with NA SST anomalies develops more frequently in early summer (June).

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.
