We have persistently constructed gridded products of surface wind/wind stress over the world ocean using satellite scatterometer (ERS and Qscat). They are available for users as the Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with Use of Remote sensing Observation (J-OFURO) data together with heat flux components. Recently, a new version data of the Qscat/SeaWinds based on improved algorithm for rain flag and high wind-speed range have been delivered, and allowed us to reconstruct gridded product with higher spatial resolution. These products are validated by comparisons with in-situ measurement data by mooring buoys such as TAO/TRITON, NDBC and the Kuroshio Extension Observation (KEO) buoys, together with numerical weather prediction model products such as the NCEP-1 and 2. Results reveal that the new product has almost the same magnitude in mean difference as the previous version of Qscat product and much smaller than the NCEP-1 and 2. On the other hand, it is slightly larger root-mean-square (RMS) difference than the previous one and NCEPs for the comparison using the KEO buoy data. This may be due to the deficit of high wind speed data in the buoy measurement. The high resolution product, together with sea surface temperature (SST) one, is used to examine a new type of relationship between the lower atmosphere and upper ocean in the Kuroshio Extension region.

대기-해양 상호작용의 과정에서 해양의 표층 수온이 대기 강제력에 의해 영향을 받는 상태인지 해양 강제력으로 작용하고 있는지를 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. Wu and Kirtmman(2007)은 대기-해양 상호작용을 이해하는 것이 대기 대순환 모형에서 표층수온이 강제력으로 작용하는 실험의 모의 결과에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다고 제시 하였다. 즉 표층 수온이 해양 강제력으로 작용하는 경우 그와 같은 실험의 모의 결과가 관측과 유사하게 나타날 수 있는 반면 대기 강제력이 해양 표층 온도를 유도하는 경우 대기 대순환 모형의 모의 결과가 관측과는 전혀 다르게 나타날 수 있기 때문이다. 따라서 최근 지구 온난화에 기인하여 표층 수온이 증가하고 있는 경향에서 이와 같은 대기-해양 상호작용의 특성을 분석하는 것은 의미 있는 일이다. 본 연구에서는 1979년부터 2011년까지 33년간 남중국해 표층 수온과 주요 대기 변수들(강수량, 바람, 잠열속, 단복사량, 구름운량, 하층기압)과의 동시, 및 지연 상관성 분석을 통해 남중국해 대기-해양 상호작용의 특성 변화에 대하여 알아보았으며, 이와 같은 특성변화와 동아시아 여름철 강수량과의 상관성 변화를 확인하였다. 남중국해 지역의 여름철 해양 표층 수온과 강수량은 1990년대 후반을 경계로 그 상관성이 큰 차이를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타나 이 지역의 대기-해양 상호작용의 특성이 1990년대 후반 뚜렷한 변화가 있는 것으로 분석되었다(Fig. 7). 1990년대 후반 이전 시기에서는 남중국해에서 바람-증발 피드백 과정과 구름-복사 피드백 과정을 통해 하층기압의 감소가 동풍의 증가를 동반하면서 표층 풍속의 증가를 유도하고 그와 동시에 해양에서 대기로의 잠열속이 증가하는 상관성을 보였다. 또한 연직 상승운동의 증가는 구름운량의 증가와 함께 강수현상을 동반하면서 대기에서 해양으로 들어오는 단파복사의 양을 감소시키게 되고 이에 따라 해양의 표층 수온은 감소하게 된다. 즉 1990년대 후반 이전에는 이와 같은 일련의 대기-해양 상호작용 과정들을 통해 대기 변동성에 기인한 해양 변화의 특성이 강하게 나타났다고 볼 수 있다. 그에 반해 후반기의 경우에는 표층 수온의 변화에 따른 대기 변수들의 변화는 전반기와 큰 차이가 나타났다. 특히 지연 상관계수 분석은 남중국해 지역의 표층 수온의 증가는 시간 지연을 통해 잠열속량과 구름 운량 및 연직 속도의 증가와 상관성을 가지면서 단파 복사량의 감소와 함께 강수량의 증가의 상관성을 보였다. 비록 상관계수의 결과이지만 이와 같은 결과는 후반기 남중국해 표층 수온의 증가가 시간 지연을 두고 대기 변동성의 변화를 유도하고 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 나아가 대기 변수들 또한 상관성이 크지는 않지만 시간 지연을 두고 표층 수온의 변화와 어느 정도 상관성을 보여 1990년대 후반 이후에는 이전 시기에 비해 남중국해의 해양 강제력에 의한 대기 변동성이 뚜렷함과 동시에 시간 지연을 두고 해양과 대기의 상호작용이 일어났음을 추측할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 남중국해에서의 대기-해양 상호작용 특성 변화가 남중국해와 동북아시아 지역 강수량과의 상관성에 어떤 변화를 유도하는 지에 대해서도 살펴보았다. 후반기의 남중국해의 표층수온이 동북아시아 지역의 강수량 변동성과 음의 상관성을 보이고 나아가 남중국해의 강수량 변동성이 동북아시아 강수량 변동성과 유의한 음의 상관성이 나타났다. 이와 같은 상관성의 변화는 남중국해 지역의 표층수온이 해양 강제력으로 작용함으로 이 지역에서의 강수량 변동성이 동북아시아 강수량 변동성에 더욱 밀접한 상관성을 유도한 것으로 사료된다. 이와 같은 결과는 지구온난화 환경에서 남중국해 표층수온의 변화가 동아시아 몬순 특성에 민감한 강제력으로 작용할 수 있다고 제시된 기존 연구결과(Shin et al., 2011)와 어느 정도 일치하는 것이다. 향후 해양의 표층 수온이 강제력으로 작용할 때 동북아시아 강수량 변동성뿐만 아니라 다른 대기 변동 특성에 어떠한 변화를 보이는지 살펴보는 것은 이 지역에서의 기후 변동 특성을 이해하는데 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

Atmospheric correction of Landsat Visible and Near Infrared imagery (VIS/NIR) over aquatic environment is more demanding than over land because the signal from the water column is small and it carries immense information about biogeochemical variables in the ocean. This paper introduces two methods, a modified dark-pixel substraction technique (path--extraction) and our spectral shape matching method (SSMM), for the correction of the atmospheric effects in the Landsat VIS/NIR imagery in relation to the retrieval of meaningful information about the ocean color, especially from Case-2 waters (Morel and Prieur, 1977) around Korean peninsula. The results of these methods are compared with the classical atmospheric correction approaches based on the 6S radiative transfer model and standard SeaWiFS atmospheric algorithm. The atmospheric correction scheme using 6S radiative transfer code assumes a standard atmosphere with constant aerosol loading and a uniform, Lambertian surface, while the path-extraction assumes that the total radiance (L/sub TOA/) of a pixel of the black ocean (referred by Antoine and Morel, 1999) in a given image is considered as the path signal, which remains constant over, at least, the sub scene of Landsat VIS/NIR imagery. The assumption of SSMM is nearly similar, but it extracts the path signal from the L/sub TOA/ by matching-up the in-situ data of water-leaving radiance, for typical clear and turbid waters, and extrapolate it to be the spatially homogeneous contribution of the scattered signal after complex interaction of light with atmospheric aerosols and Raleigh particles, and direct reflection of light on the sea surface. The overall shape and magnitude of radiance or reflectance spectra of the atmospherically corrected Landsat VIS/NIR imagery by SSMM appears to have good agreement with the in-situ spectra collected for clear and turbid waters, while path-extraction over turbid waters though often reproduces in-situ spectra, but yields significant errors for clear waters due to the invalid assumption of zero water-leaving radiance for the black ocean pixels. Because of the standard atmosphere with constant aerosols and models adopted in 6S radiative transfer code, a large error is possible between the retrieved and in-situ spectra. The efficiency of spectral shape matching has also been explored, using SeaWiFS imagery for turbid waters and compared with that of the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm, which falls in highly turbid waters, due to the assumption that values of water-leaving radiance in the two NIR bands are negligible to enable retrieval of aerosol reflectance in the correction of ocean color imagery. Validation suggests that accurate the retrieval of water-leaving radiance is not feasible with the invalid assumption of the classical algorithms, but is feasible with SSMM.

Surface energy and $CO_2$ fluxes have been measured over an ocean at Ieodo Ocean Research Station of KORDI since May 2003. Eddy covariance technique, which is a direct flux measurement, is used to quantitatively understand the interaction between the ocean surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. Although fluxes were continuously measured during the period from May 2003 to February 2004, the quality control of these data yielded <20% of data retrieval. The atmospheric stability did not show any distinct dirunal patterns and remained near-neutral to stable from May to June but mostly unstable during fall and winter in 2003. Sensible heat flux showed a good correlation with the difference between the sea water temperature and the air temperature. The maximum fluxes of sensible heat and latent heat were $120Wm^{-2}$ and $350Wm^{-2}$ respectively, with an averaged Bowen ratio of 0.2. The ocean around the tower absorbed $CO_2$ from the atmosphere and the uptake rates showed seasonal variations. Based our preliminary results, the daytime $CO_2$ flux was steady with an average of $-0.1 mgCO_2m^{-2}s^{-1}$ in summer and increased in winter. The nighttime $CO_2$ uptake was greater and fluctuating, reaching up to $-0.1 mgCO_2m^{-2}s^{-1}$ but these data require further examination due to weak turbulent mixing at nighttime. The magnitude of $CO_2$ flux was positively correlated with the half hourly changes in horizontal mean wind speed. Due to the paucity of quality data, further data collection is needed for more detailed analyses and interpretation.

Numerical simulation is essential to indicate the flow of the atmosphere in the region with a complicated topography which consists of many mountains in the inland while it is neighboring the seashore. Such complicated topography produces land and sea breeze as the mesoscale phenomenon of meteorology which results from the effect of the sea and inland. In the mesoscale simulation examines, the change of the temperature in relation to the one of the sea surface for the boundary condition and, in the inland, the interaction between the atmosphere and land surface reflecting the characteristic of the land surface. This research developed and simulated PNULSM to reflect both the SST and vegetation effect as a bottom boundary for detailed meteorological numerical simulation in coastal urban area. The result from four experiments performed according to this protocol revealed the change of temperature field and wind field depending on each effect. Therefore, the lower level of establishment of bottom boundary suitable for the characteristic of the region is necessary to figure out the atmospheric flow more precisely, and if the characteristic of the surface is improved to more realistic conditions, it will facilitate the simulation of regional environment.

한국 서해는 주변해역에 비해 얕은 수심과 낮은 저열량으로 다른 해역에 비해서 대기의 역할이 더 중요하다. 이들의 관계를 파악하기 위해 국립수산과학원의 정선관측 자료, 연안정지 자료와 기상청 자료를 사용하였다. 수온, 염분과 기상인자들은 8월에 최고치가 되고, 2월에 최소치가 되는 계절변동을 한다. 수온과 염분은 수심이 깊어질수록 최고$\cdot$저 값에 이르는 시간지연이 나타난다. 수심 100m에 달하는 311-07점의 75m수층의 수은의 시계열은 10월에 최고치, 4월에 최저치에 달한다. 기상인자와 수온, 염분과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 기상인자는 기온, 풍속, 강수량을 사용하였다. 수온-기온, 수온-강수, 염분-풍속은 정관계를 보였다. 그리고 수온-풍속, 염분-기온, 염분-강수는 역관계를 나타내었다. 307-05의 염분을 제외한 모든 연구해역에서 수심 20m를 기준으로 표층보다 2개월에서 4개월 느리게 최대치가 되었다. 307-05의 염분은 기상인자와의 관계에서 50m 수층에서 시간지연을 보였다.

A meteo-tsunami occurred along the coastline of South Korea on 31 March 2007, with an estimated maximum amplitude of 240 cm in Yeonggwang (YG). In this study, we investigated the synoptic weather systems around the Yellow sea including the Bohai Bay and Shandong Peninsula using a weather research and forecast model and weather charts of the surface pressure level, upper pressure level and auxiliary analysis. We found that 4-lows passed through the Yellow sea from the Shandung Peninsula to Korea during 5 days. Moreover, the passage of the cold front and the locally heavy rain with a sudden pressure change may make the resonance response in the near-shore and ocean with a regular time-lag. The sea-level pressure disturbance and absolute vorticity in 500 hPa projected over the Yellow sea was propagated with a similar velocity to the coastline of South Korea at the time that meteo-tsunami occurred.

This study examined the lake effect of the Yellow Sea which was induced by the Siberian High pressure system moving over the open waters. The development mechanism of the convective cells over the ocean was studied in detail using the Weather Research and Forecasting model. Numerical experiments consist of the control experiment (CTL) and an experiment changing the yellow sea to dry land (EXP). The CTL simulation result showed distinct high area of relative vorticity, convergence and low-level atmospheric instability than that of the EXP. The result indicates that large surface vorticity and convergence induced vertical motion and low level instability over the ocean when the arctic Siberian air mass moved south over the Yellow Sea. The sensible heat flux at the sea surface gradually decreased while latent heat flux gradually increased. At the beginning stage of air mass modification, sensible heat was the main energy source for convective cell generation. However, in the later stage, latent heat became the main energy source for the development of convective cells. In conclusion, the mechanism of the west coast heavy snowfall caused by modification of the Siberian air mass over the Yellow Sea can be explained by air-sea interaction instability in the following order: (a) cyclonic vorticity caused by diabatic heating induce Ekman pumping and convergence at the surface, (b) sensible heat at the sea surface produce convection, and (c) this leads to latent heat release, and the development of convective cells. The overall process is a manifestation of air-sea interaction and enhancement of convection from positive feedback mechanism.

Products of gridded surface wind and windstress vectors over the world ocean have been constructed by satellite scatterometer data with highly temporal and spatial resolutions. Even if the ADEOS-II/SeaWinds has supplied surface wind data only for short duration in Apr. to Oct. 2003 to us, it permits us to construct a product with higher resolution together with the Qscat/SeaWinds. In addition to our basic product with its resolution of $1^{\circ}\times1^{\circ}$ in space and daily in time, we try to construct products with $1/2^{\circ}\times1/2^{\circ}$ and semi- and quarter-daily resolution. These products are validated by inter-comparison with in-situ data (TAO and NDBC buoys), and also compared with numerical weather prediction(NWP) ones (NCEP reanalysis). Result reveals that our product has higher reliability in the study area than the NCEP's. For the open ocean regions in the middle and high latitudes where there are no in-situ data, we find that there are clear differences between them. Especially in the southern westerly region of 400-600S, the' wind-stress magnitudes by the NCEP are significantly larger than the others, suggesting that they are overestimated. We also calculate wind-stress curl field that is an important factor for ocean dynamics and focus its spatial character in the northwestern Pacific around Japan. Positive curl areas are found to cover from southwest to northeast in our focus region and almost correspond to the Kuroshio path. It is suggested that the vorticity field in the lower atmosphere is related to the upper oceanic one, and thus an aspect of air-sea interaction process.

Characteristics of precipitation in South Korea during the 2016 Changma period (6/18~7/30) are analyzed in great details. El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-induced tropical Indian Ocean (IO) basin-wide warming lasts from spring to early summer and induces the western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) circulation anomaly through an equatorial Kelvin wave during the 2016 Changma period. Along the northern edge of the WNPSH, strong precipitation occurred, in particular, over eastern China and southern Japan. During the Changma period, South Korea had the near-normal mean precipitation amount (~332 mm). However, about 226 mm of rain fell in South Korea during 1 July to 6 July, which amounts to 67% of total Changma precipitation in that year. Upper-level synoptic migratory lows and low-level moisture transport played an essential role, especially from 1 July to 3 July, in triggering an abrupt development of fronts over the Korean Peninsula and the eastern continent China. The front over the eastern China migrates progressively eastward, which results in heavy rainfall over the Korean peninsula from 1 to 3 July. In contrast, from 4 to 6 July, the typhoon (NEPARTAK) affected an abrupt northward advance of the North Pacific subtropical high (NPSH). The northward extension of the NPSH strengthens the Changma front and induces the southerly flows toward the Korean peninsula, giving rise to an increase in heavy rainfall. The NEPARTAK is generated due to interaction of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), equatorial Rossby wave and Kelvin waves.
