NOAA AVHRR의 MCSST를 이용하여 지형류의 상대속도를 추정하였으며 이것을 대한 해협에 적용하였다. 원격탐사는 관측시에 광범위한 지역에 대해서 동시성 및 반복성이 유지되기 때문에 해양현상을 연구하는 데 있어서 훌륭한 도구로써 쓰일 수 있다. 특히 AVHRR 자료는 높 은 분해능으로 인해서 선상관측 자료보다도 지형류를 더욱 정밀하게 구할 수 있다. 연구 결과에 의하면 1992년 4월에 대한해협 서수도에서의 상대속도는 골이 있는 해역에서 가장 크며 이때 유 속의 크기는 약 23.8cm/sec로 나타났다. 그러나 이 결과는 geopotential anomaly를 계산할 때 염 분의 효과를 무시한 만큼의 오류를 포함하고 있다. 또한 대한해협 서수도에서 지형류의 수송량은 약 0.3Sv이며 쓰시마와 골이 있는 해역 사이에서 수송량이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the seasonal and inter-annual variation of sea surface current in the Gulf of Thailand were revealed through the use of WOD temperature and salinity data and monthly sea surface dynamic heights (SSDH) from TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 altimetry data during 1995-2001. The mean dynamic height and mean geostrohic current were derived from the climatological data while SSDH data gave monthly dynamic heights and their geopstrophic currents. The mean geostrophic current showed strong southward and westward flow of South China Sea water along the gulf entrance. Counterclockwise eddy in the inner gulf and the western side of the gulf entrance associated with upwelling in the area. Seasonal geostrophic currents show basin-wide counterclockwise circulation during the southwest monsoon season and clockwise circulation during the northeast monsoon season. Upwelling was enhanced during the southwest monsoon season. The circulation patterns varied seasonally and inter-annually probably due to the variation in wind regime. And finally we found that congregation, spawning, and migration routes of short-bodied mackerel conform well with coastal upwelling and surface circulation in the gulf.

Using gridded wind-stress products constructed by satellite scatterometers (ERS-1, 2 and QSCAT) data and those by numerical weather prediction(NWP) model(NCEP-reanalysis), we estimate wind-driven transports of the North Pacific subtropical gyre, and compare them in the central portion of the gyre (around 300 N) with geostrophic transports calculated from historical hydrographic data (World Ocean Database 2005). Even if there are some discrepancies between the wind-driven transports by the QSCAT and NCEP products, they are both in good agreement with the geostrophic transports within reasonable errors, except for the regional difference in the eastern part of the zone. The difference in the eastern part is characterized by an anticyclonic deviation of the geostrophic transport resulting from an anti-cyclonic anomalous flow in the surface layer, suggesting that it is related to the Eastern Gyral produced by the thermohaline process associated with the formation of the Eastern Subtropical Mode Water. We also examine the consistency of the Sverdrup transports estimated from these products by comparing them with the transports of the western boundary current, namely the Kuroshio regions, in previous studies. The net southward transport, based on the sum of the Sverdrup transports by QSCAT and NCEP products and the thermohaline transport, agrees well with the net northward transport of the western boundary current, namely the Kuroshio transport. From these results, it is concluded that the Sverdrup balance can hold in the North Pacific subtropical gyre.

To find out generating mechanism of eddies in the polar frontal zone of the East Sea, we carried out a series of numerical experiments using the nonlinear $1^{1/2}-layer$ model allowing the effect of the polar front. We assumed the polar front at about $39^{\circ}N$ in zonal direction with the cold water region in the northern part and the warm water region in the southern part of the model ocean. To examine the effect of the frontal motion without the influence of the Tsushima Current from the beginning of the geostrophic adjustment, the initial state of the model ocean was assumed motionless. Eastward current was caused by the geostrophic adjustment process in the polar frontal zone that induced a steady northward coastal current along the Korean coast to satisfy the mass continuity. The overshooting of this coastal current acted as an initial disturbance of the zonal flow field which caused meanders and eddies. The spatial scales of eddies were in good agreement with the baroclinic instability theory.

In this paper, we show the numerical and experimental results of two-dimensional fluid motions inside a rectangular container with a vertical plate subjected to a background rotation added by a rotational oscillation. In the PIV experiment we apply a new algorithm, NTSS, to the velocity calculation. In the numerical computation, the linear Ekman-pumping model was used to take the bottom friction effect into account. It was found that it showed good agreement with the experimental results at low ${\epsilon}$ number.

In this study, spin-up flows in a rectangular container are analysed both numerically and experimentally. In the numerical computation, we use two Ekman pumping models, the classical leading order and the first order. We also compared our results with those obtained for the case without a pumping model. Effect of two parameters, Reynolds number and the Rossby number on the flow evolution is studied. The first order and the leading order Ekman pumping models are in good agreement with the experimental result compared with the non-Ekman pumping model. Attention is given to the merging of two cyclonic vortices.

제주해협내에 설정한 3개의 남북 단면상에 배열한 13개의 관측정점과 기타 4개의 제주항 부근의 연안정점에서 $1986\~1989$년까지 실시한 해류계에 의한 해류조사결과와 $1981\~1987$년 사이에 실시된 해류판 추적조사, 일반해양관측 등에 의하여 얻어진 자료들을 종합적으로 분석하여 정리한 제주해협의 유황을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 제주해협내에는 주로 동$\~$북동류의 항류가 있어, 해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 해협내로 유입된 해수가 동쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 유출되고 있으며, 이 항류의 유속은 10m층에서 $5.2cm/sec\~30cm/sec$이고, 중${\cdot}$저층은 $1.3\~24cm/sec$로 대체로 해협의 심소 및 제주도 북측에 강류대가 있고, 추자도 및 보길도 부근의 연안 천소에 악한 항류가 있다. 2. 제주해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면에서 실측한 항류의 하계 평균유속은 6.93cm/sec로, 이것을 기초로 계산한 이 단면의 해수수송량은 $0.384\times10^6\;m^3/sec(Sv)$이며, 단면의 항류분포와 지형류 유속 분포간에는 많은 차를 보였다. 3. 추자도 북서쪽의 전선역에서는 밀물 때는 북향류에 의해 고온${\cdot}$고염분의 외해수가 5mile정도 연안역으로 이동 하지만, 썰물 때는 북상 거리만큼 다시 남하하지 않고 동$\~$남동향류 때문에, 연안수와 혼합하면서 전선북쪽의 연안역으로 이동하므로, 결과적으로 추자도 북서해역은 제주도 서방해역으로 부터 북상해온 외해수가 한국남해연안수내로 유입하는 창구가 되며, 이것을 일으키는 주된 작용은 항류가 아닌 조류이다.

대마해류는 큐슈 서쪽해역에서 갈라져 대한해협으로 북상하여 흐르는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 이럴 경우 해류는 등수심선을 가로질러야 하며 이를 위해 어떤 힘이 필요하다. 그러한 힘으로는, 대한해협과 쯔가루해협 사이의 해수면의 차이, Reynolds Stress, 밀도차이 등에 제시되어져 왔다. 이 논문에서는 순압인 경우에 이들의 역할을 수치모델을 사용하여 연구해 보았다. 모델 결과는 대마해류가 위의 어떠한 힘이 없이도 발생한다는 것을 보였다. 해류는 동중국해에서 등수심선을 따라 흐르며, 해류흐름은 외부의 힘에 의해서가 아니라 자신의 역학에 의해 발생하는 것으로 보인다. 그 역학은 육지에 의한 틈새(gap) 사이로 유출되는 흐름에서와 같다. 모델결과는 또한 이 해역의 해류가 Reynolds Stress와 같은 외부의 힘에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다는 것을 보여 주며, 그럴 경우 실제 해양에서는 해류의 역학과 형태가 복잡하게 나타날 가능성이 있다. 그러나 순압모델 결과는 대마해류가 기본적으로는 지형균형(geostrophic adjustment)에 의한 것임을 보여준다.

A matched asymptotic analysis is conducted for a compressible rotating flow in a cylindrical container when a mechanical and/or a thermal disturbance is imposed on the wall. The system Ekman number is assumed to be very small. The conditions for the Taylor-Proudman column in the interior, which were also given in the companion paper Park & Hyun, 2002) by means of the energy balancing analysis, have been re-derived. The concept of the variable, the energy content $e[{\equiv}T+2 {\alpha}^2 {\gamma}{\nu}]$, is reformulated, and its effectiveness in characterizing the energy transport mechanism is delineated. It is seen that, under the condition of the Taylor-Proudman column, numerous admissible theoretical solutions for interior flow exist with an associated wail boundary condition. Some canonical examples are illustrated with comprehensive physical descriptions. The differential heating problem on the top and bottom endwall disks is revisited by using the concept of the energy content. The results are shown to be in line with the previous findings.

The offshore extension of the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC) mostly turns anti-cyclonically around the Ulleung Warm Eddy (UWE). This fact needs to be dynamically explained because a rectilinear stream past a circular cylinder is normally expected to have a flow pattern symmetric about the stream axis. For this purpose, a simple analytical model is presented in this paper. This model shows that the EKWC's tendency to be anti-cyclonic around the UWE is due to the anti cyclonic circulation generated around the UWE. This tendency results from the geostrophic adjustment between the UWE and the ambient EKWC water. As the strength of the UWE decreases, relative to the EKWC, this model shows that the flow pattern gradually changes from circular to rectilinear.
