An extensive set of both in-situ and satellite data regarding oceanic sea surface temperatures in Northeast Asian seas, collected over a 10-year period, was collocated and surveyed to assess the accuracy of satellite-observed sea surface temperatures (SST) and investigate the characteristics of satellite measured SST errors. This was done by subtracting insitu SST measurements from multi-channel SST (MCSST) measurements. 845 pieces of collocated data revealed that MCSST measurements had a root-mean-square error of about 0.89$^{\circ}C$ and a bias error of about 0.18$^{\circ}C$. The SST errors revealed a large latitudinal dependency with a range of $\pm3^{\circ}C$ around 40$^{\circ}N$, which was related to high spatial and temporal variability from smaller eddies, oceanic currents, and thermal fronts at higher latitudes. The MCSST measurements tended to be underestimated in winter and overestimated in summer when compared to in-situ measurements. This seasonal dependency was discovered from shipboard and moored buoy measurements, not satellite-tracked surface drifters, and revealed the existence of a strong vertical temperature gradient within a few meters of the upper ocean. This study emphasizes the need for an effort to consider and correct the significant skin-bulk SST difference which arises when calculating SST from satellite data.

GOCI-II, succeeding the mission of GOCI, was launched in February 2020 and has been in regular operation since October 2020. Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) processes and produces in real time Level-1B and 26 Level-2 outputs, which then are provided by Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA). We introduced current status of regular GOCI-II operation and showed future improvement. Basic GOCI-II products including chlorophyll-a, total suspended materials, and colored dissolved organic matter concentration, are induced by OC4 and YOC algorithms, which were described in detail. For the full disk (FD), imaging schedule was established considering solar zenith angle and sun glint during the in-orbital test, but improved by further considering satellite zenith angle. The number of slots satisfying the condition 'Best Ocean' significantly increased from 15 to 78. GOCI-II calibration requirements were presented based on that by European Space Agency (ESA) and candidate fixed locations for calibrating local observation area were. The quality management of FD uses research ships and overseas bases of KIOST, but it is necessary to establish an international calibration/validation network. These results are expected to enhance the understanding of users for output processing and help establish detailed plans for future quality management tasks.

We propose a marine observation system using existing light buoys to observe various marine information of marine locations. Our proposed ocean observation system is composed of the existing standard light buoy type and can be easily connected to the light buoy. The proposed marine observation system measures the mean wave height, maximum wave height, mean wave height and water temperature measured in the ocean. Besides, it can measure the air pressure, temperature, wind speed and wind speed in real time. In order to measure important peaks in marine observations, 2200 peak data are collected for 10 minutes, and the collected data are subjected to spectral analysis to extract significant wave and wave period data. The developed system removes the noise by using the filter because the marine observation system attaches to the light buoy. We compare and analyze the measurement data of the existing proven floating marine observation system and the standard equivalent system developed. Also, it is proved that the data of the standard type backbone ocean observation system developed through the comparative experiment is similar to that of the existing ocean observation system.

Surface particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration estimated from Maximum Normalized Difference Carbon Index (MNDCI) algorithm using SeaWiFS data is used to determine spatial and temporal variations of the Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) in the East China Sea. 10-year monthly POC concentrations (1997-2007) show clearly seasonal variations. Inter-annual variation of POC in whole and three different areas separated by standard deviation is not linearly correlated with the Changjiang River discharge that has decreased after 1998. To determine more detailed spatial and temporal POC variations, we used empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis in summer (Jun.-Sep.) from 2000 to 2007. First mode is spatially and temporally correlated with the area influenced by the Changjiang River discharge. Second mode is temporally less sensitive with the Changjiang River discharge but spatially correlated with north-south patterns. Relatively higher POC variations during 2000 and 2003 were shown in the southern East China Sea. These patterns during 2004 and 2007 moved to the northern East China Sea. This phenomenon is better related to spatial variations of wind-direction than the amount of Changjiang River discharge, which is verified from in-situ measurement.

Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI)는 다목적 실용위성 (KOMPSAT) 1호기 아리라위성에 탑재되어 1999년 12월 21일 발사된 해양 관측 기기이다. OSMI는 발사후 3년 이상 생물학적 해양지리학 연구를 위해 전세계 바다색을 관측하는 임무를 수행할 것이다. OSMI는 센서 성능의 궤도상 보정을 위해 태양광 보정과 암흑 보정을 수행한당. 태양광 보정은 궤도상에서 장기간에 걸친 해양 결상계의 노화에 따른 성능 변화 감지 및 보정에 있다. 발사 직후의 초기 태양과 보정 측정 자료는 추후 성능 변화 감지에 대한 기준이 될 뿐만아니라 발사 직후 OSMI 센서 성능 파악 및 점검에도 사용될 수 있으므로 매우 중요하다. 태양광 보정의 구조 및 광학적 특성을 분석하고 OSMI 주요 관측파 장대역별로 태양광 보정계의 출력신호량을 예측하였다. 초기 운영 기간동안 얻은 OSMI 태양광 보정계의 발사후 최초 측정 자료를 분석하고 발사전 예측 성능과 비교하였다. 이 연구는 OSMI 센서 보정 및 영상 품질 이해에 유용할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 지하수위 변동 분석을 위한 프로그램을 개발하고, 건설교통부에서 설치, 운영하고 있는 169개 국가 지하수 관측소의 264개 지하수관측정에서 측정된 지하수위자료에 적용하였다. 분석결과 암반대수층과 충적층대수층의 평균수위 및 변동양상이 대체적으로 비슷하게 나타났으며, 이는 관측소 설치 지역의 대부분에서 충적층(10m 내외)과 암반층(70m 내외)이 수리적으로 연결되어 있다는 것을 시사한다. 6시간 간격의 지하수위 관측 자료를 이용하여 지하수위가 상승하는 횟수, 상승량의 합계 산정 등 변동양상을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 해양 및 지구 조석의 영향을 받는 관측정의 경우 지하수위 상승 개수가 450개/yr 이상이 대부분이며, 수위 변동량은 0.1 ～ 1m 정도이고, 수위변동 자료를 시계열로 나타내 보면 하루에 약 2번의 상승과 하강을 반복하는 수위변동 형태를 볼 수 있었다. 양수의 영향이 우세한 관측정에서는 수위 상승 개수가 약 360개/yr, 수위 변동량은 1m 이상의 값이 우세하게 나타났다. 지하수위 상승량은 암반/충적 관측정 모든 관측정에서 전반적으로 강수량과의 상관계수가 높았으며, 같은 관측정의 .자료라도 6시간 간격의 관측 자료보다, 12시간 및 24시간 관측 간격으로 분석한 결과에서 상관관계가 더 높게 나타났다. 12시간 및 24시간 관측 간격으로 분석할 경우 조석 및 양수에 의해 발생된 주기적인 지하수위 변동 성분이 제거되면서 강수에 대한 지하수위 반응의 상관도가 높아진 것으로 해석된다.

Seasonal variations of salinity in the upper 500 m of the tropical Atlantic Ocean are examined, based on both climatological seasonal salinity observations and numerical simulations with hydrological forcing. The seasonal cycle of sea surface salinity has strong seasonal variations caused by shifts of the freshwater surplus zone (i.e. the intertropical convergence zone) and the river outflow. The climatological seasonal salinity in this analysis concurs with other independent observations described by Default (1981) and Levitus (1982), but provides more consistent patterns with temperature structure. The effect of salinity on density below 100 m depth in the tropical Atlantic is negligible compared to tat of temperature, which in the mixed layer salinity affects density significantly. The systematic difference between observed and simulated salinity is found to be the fact that the simulated salinity is higher in the subtropics than the observed salinity, and possible sources about the difference are also discussed.

Sea surface wind is an important variable for elucidating the atmospheric-ocean interactions and predicting the dangerous weather conditions caused by oceans. Accurate sea surface wind data are required for making correct predictions; however, there are limited observational datasets for oceans. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain long-period high-resolution sea surface wind data. First, the ERA5 reanalysis wind field, which can be used for a long period at a high resolution, was regridded and synthesized using the asymmetric typhoon wind field calculated via the Generalized Asymmetric Holland Model of the numerical model named ADvanced CIRCulation model. The accuracy of the asymmetric typhoon synthesized wind field was evaluated using data obtained from Korea Meteorological Administration and Japan Meteorological Administration. As a result of the evaluation, it was found that the asymmetric typhoon synthetic wind field reproduce observations relatively well, compared with ERA5 reanalysis wind field and symmetric typhoon synthetic wind field calculated by the Holland model. The sea surface wind data produced in this study are expected to be useful for obtaining storm surge data and conducting frequency analysis of storm surges and sea surface winds in the future.
