The Istanbul Strait is one of the important waterways in the world. And its southern entrance has a highly congested local traffic. Till now there are several studies regarding how the Istanbul Strait is dangerous to navigate and how those dangers can be mitigated. But there is no study regarding local traffic which is posing great collision risk. In a certain traffic area, marine traffic safety assessment parameters are traffic volume, frequency of collision avoidance maneuver, traffic density, traffic flow and potential encounter, In this paper local traffic volume, traffic flow and potential encounter number of local traffic vessels and possibility of collision are investigated in order to find degree of danger at the southern entrance of the Istanbul Strait. Finally by utilizing those, risky areas are determined for southern entrance of the Istanbul Strait. Results have been compared to a previous study regarding risk analysis at congested areas of the Istanbul Strait (Aydogdu, 2006) and consistency of the results were presented.

Photosynthetic pigments, nutrients, and hydrographic variables were examined in order to elucidate the spatio-temporal variation of water column structure and its effect on phytoplankton community structure in the western channel of the Korea Strait in fall 2006 and spring 2007. High phytoplankton biomass in the spring was associated with high salinity, implying that nutrients were not supplied by coastal waters or the Yangtze-River Diluted water (YRDW) with low salinity. Expansion of the Korea Strait Bottom Cold Water (KSBCW) and a cold eddy observed during the spring season might enhance the nutrient supply from the subsurface layer to the euphotic zone. Chemotaxonomic examination showed that diatoms accounted for 60-70% of total biomass, followed by dinoflagellates. Nutrient supply by physical phenomena such as the expansion of the KSBCW and the occurrence of a cold eddy appears to be the controlling factors of phytoplankton community composition in the Korea Strait. Further study is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which the KSBCW is expanded, and its role in phytoplankton dynamics.

A fine-grid (3 km ${\times}$ 3 km), three-dimensional nowcast system of sea levels, currents, temperature, and salinity is being developed for the Taiwan Strait. The project takes a balanced approach relying equally on models and observations, will have the capacity of real-time data assimilation, and is aimed at both practical and scientific applications. To determine boundary conditions and verify model results, eight coastal tide-gauge stations were first established along both sides of the strait. Strait-wide hydrographic surveys were conducted by research vessels. Currents are being measured using bottom-mounted ADCP moorings in a meridional deep channel off southwest Taiwan and along a traverse section in the central part of the strait. In addition to a fine-resolution three-dimensional model of the Taiwan Strait, an adjoint model and a larger-domain two-dimensional model were used to better determine boundary conditions in the northern and southern boundaries of the strait. In the first stage of model development, barotropic tides were successfully simulated in a hindcast mode. The protocol product has been released to general public, including government agencies, universities and general users.

1983년 4월과 5월에 걸쳐 제주해협에서 부표와 해류계를 이용한 해류관측과 함께 2회에 걸쳐 수온-염분관측을 실시하였다. 관측자료로부터 고온, 고염인 흑조 의 한 지류가 제주도 서쪽을 돌아 제주해협으로 유입됨을 명확히 보였다. 제주도 서쪽을 우회하는 해류는 제주도 서쪽에서는 그 폭이 약 60 km이며 제주 해협내 에서는 20∼30 km 이내에 존재하여 제주도 서쪽에서는 5 cm/s 미만으로 유속이 작은 반면에 제주해협의 서쪽입구와 해협 내에서는 10 cm/s 이상의 큰 유속을 갖는다. 제주해협의 동쪽에는 역시 흑조로부터 기원된 대마난류의 영향이 인지 되었다. 난류수와 연안수 사이에 형성되는 수온, 염분전선의 변화는 제주 해협의 서쪽에서 황해연안수가 남하함을 제시하였다. 난류수역에서는 5월에 수온이 상승 한 반면에 다른 해역에서는 수온이 감소하였다. 5월에 제주해협 중앙부에서는 해 협의 서쪽으로부터 저온, 저염의 해수가 유입되어 4월에 비해 수온과 염분이 급격 히 감소하였다.

When typhoons passed around the Korea Strait, some observation in this strait carried out by Mizuno et al. (1986) gives us the following oceanographic features; 1) the direction of the observed current was opposite to the northeasterly wind, 2) temperature rapidly increased having a time lag as the depth deepens, after then decreased with oscillation. A primitive equation ocean model that makes use of a sigma-coordinate system and incorporates a typhoon model was used to examine the mechanism to generate these phenomena. The model region covers the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and a portion of the East Sea (Japan Sea). The model well reproduces the observed features, especially in temperature field, and clearly manifests how the above observed features happened. From early time when the typhoon was located in low latitude, an alongshore northward current in the west of Kyushu (hereafter the West Kyushu Current) is generated by an alongshore wind in the typhoon. This current flows into the eastern channel, as a coastal jet, regardless to the wind field within the Korea Strait during this period. The above observed phenomena are generated by this current. The model results indicate that when typhoons pass around the Korea Strait, the West Kyushu Current is generated, and oceanographic condition in the strait should be greatly influenced by this current.

서귀포와 부산사이를 취항하고 있는 “카페리 제 주1호”에 수온계를 설치하여 1990년 10월 부터 10 개월간 제주해협과 대한해협을 횡단하는 해역에서 표면수온의 관측을 실시하였다. 그 결과 거문도 부근의 해역에서 뚜렷한 수온전선이 형성되고 있 으나, 그 위치는 약간의 변동성을 냐타내고 있었 다. 전선이 북으로 이동할 때는 비교적 느리고 뚜 렷하나 남으로 이동할 때는 전선구조가 분명하지 않았다. 수온전선에는 수십일 주기를 가진 단주기 변동이 관측된다. 이 변동은 동계 강한 북서계절 풍의 영향과 열이동의 효과로 인한 것으로 사료된 다 표변수온의 수평구배가 3월부터 10월에 걸쳐 매우 약하고, 그 이외의 시기에는 확실하다. 이러 한 결과는 제주해협과 대한해협을 횡단하는 표면 수온의 연속적 인 관측이 한국남안수의 소장과 대 마난류수의 출현 동을 모니터하는데 매우 유효함 을 나타내고 있다. 제주해협과 대한해협에서의 해양관측을 통하여 추자도 부근 해역에서 형성되는 연안전선의 구조 를 파악하였다. 이 전선은 연중 형성되고 있으나, 계절과 연에 따라 그 위치 및 분포형상이 매우 다 르다 이같은 연안전선이 대한해협에서는 매우 약 하게 형성되고 있었다.

동해는 Korea Strait, Tsugaru Strait Soya Strait, Mamiya Strait의 좁은 해협으로 동중국해의 북동해역, 태평양 및 Okhotsk 해로 연결되나, 해협부의 폭과 수심이 작아 폐쇄된 해역으로 볼 수 있다. 동해에 대한 조석현상을 파악하기 위해서는 Ogura(1933)와 Nishida(1980)의 한국 주변해역(동아시아)에 대한 경험적인 조석도를 참고할 수 있으며, Odamaki(1989a)는 대한해협에서의 자료를 재편집하여 개선된 조석도를 제시하였다. (중략)

The monthly observations of hydrography in the Cheju Strait from September 1995 to June 1998 show that the Cheju Strait is occupied mostly by Tsushima Current Water in winter and coastal waters in summer. In summer, the Yangtze Coastal Water appears in the upper layer and cold water in the lower layer. Especially, the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water appears in August 1997, and the clockwise flow of warm water along the northwestern coasts of Cheju Island is disturbed by an eastward expansion of the cold water from the northwest. The cold water expansion seems to be partly associated with strong southeasterly winds. Current measurements in the Cheju Strait suggest that there exists steady eastward barotropic component of about 5 cm/sec, which corresponds to 0.2 Sv barotropic transport in the Cheju Strait. Geostropic transport (baroclinic component) ranges from 0.1 Sv in winter to 0.4 Sv in summer. By adding the barotrophic component of 0.2 Sv, the total transport varies from 0.3 Sv to 0.6 Sv, which is consistent with previous estimations. The transport increase in summer seems to be caused by the expansion of coastal water to the Cheju Strait.

Low salinity water was observed during May in the Cheju Strait. Its structure and source were studied by using both the hydrographic data collected not only in the Cheju Strait during 1987-1989 but also in the wider area around Cheju Island extending to the Bank of Changjiang river in 1994 and the current data taken in the Strait during 1987-1989. The water had lower values of temperature, salinity, and density compared with the surrounding water and it was found in the surface layer outside of Tsushima Current Water 10-50 km off Cheju coast. The density of low salinity water was more dependent on salinity than on temperature. The low salinity water flowed into the Strait from the west as a series of intermittent waters whose size was variable in width and in thickness. The low salinity water was originated from the Chanajiang River Diluted Water. In the Cheju Strait, the water showed changes within 3 days on time and 30-50 km on space, and its sudden appearance was marked especially in May. Such strong variability and sudden appearance may be attributed to the beginning stage in May when the fresh water of Changjiang River Diluted Water starts to arrive in the Cheju Strait.
