아시아 계절풍과 쿠로시오에 의한 계절적인 열수송이 황해, 동해 및 동지나해 의 표면수온 연변화에 미치는 영향을 이해하기 위하여 해면수온의 변화에 대한 간 단한 해석적 모델을 만들었다. 상기 해역에서 아시아 계절풍에 의한 열수송의 연변 화는 태양복사에너지의 연변화와 위상이 거의 일치하지만, 쿠로시오에 의한 열수송 은 복사에너지와 위상이 거의 정반대이다. 아시아 계절풍에 의한 계절적 열수송의 영향을 많이 받는 황해에서 표면수온의 연평균은 같은 위도의 동해에 비하여 낮으 며, 여름과 겨울의 표면수온차는 2$0^{\circ}C$이상으로서 세계전해양 중에서 가장 연교차폭 이 크다. 동해북서부 해역도 역시 아시아 계절풍과 한류에 의한 열이송의 효과가 합세함으로 인하여 표면수온의 연교차가 크다 그러나 쿠로시오와 쓰시마난류 해역 에서는 해류에 의한 열이송으로 인하여 표면수온의 연평균은 높으나 연교차폭은 작 다.

The advent of high resolution products of surface wind and temperature derived by satellite data has permitted us to investigate ocean and atmosphere interaction studies in detail. Especially the Kuroshio extension region of the western North Pacific is considered to be a key area for such studies. We have constructed gridded products of surface wind/wind stress over the world ocean using satellite scatterometer (Qscat/SeaWinds), available as the Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with Use of Remote sensing Observation (J-OFURO). Using new data based on improved algorithm which have been recently delivered, we are reconstructing gridded product with higher spatial resolution. Intercomparison of this product with the previous one reveals that there are some discrepancies between them in short-period and high wind-speed ranges especially in the westerly wind region. The products are validated by not only comparisons with in-situ measurement data by mooring buoys such as TAO/TRITON in the tropical Pacific and the Kuroshio Extension Observation (KEO) buoys, but also intercomparison with numerical weather prediction model (NWPM) products (the NRA-1 and 2). Our products have much smaller mean difference in the study areas than the NWPM ones, meaning higher reliability compared with the NWPM products. Using the high resolution products together with sea surface temperature (SST) data, we examine a new type of relationship between the lower atmosphere and upper ocean in the Kuroshio Extension region. It is suggested that the spatial relation between the wind speed and SST depends upon, more or less, the surrounding oceanic condition.

To study the intruded phenomena of North Pacific Ocean around Boso peninsular, water property distribution in the adjacent seas to Japan is studied using the hydrographic data obtained by Japan Maritime Agency and Japan Fisheries Agency from 1973 to 1996, The scattering of water type in T-5 diagram is relatively small in the Kuroshio Region. Both the envelopes of saline side and of fresh side of the scattered data points shifts gradually from saline side to fresh side as the observation Line moves from southwest to northeast. In mixed water region, the scattering of water type increases rapidly as the observation line moves north; the envelope of fresh cold side moves towards fresh cold side much faster than that of saline side. This suggests that the water does not advect along the salinity minimum layer, but the salinity minimum layer can be understood as a boundary of two different waters aligned vertically, We defined the typical water masses as the Oyashio Water and the Kuroshio Water. The water mass below the salinity minimum layer may be created by isopycnal mixing of these two water masses with a fixed mixing rate. While the water mass above the salinity minimum cannot be created simply by isopycnal mixing. The salinity minimum layer may be eroded from upper side due to active minxing processes in the surface layer, while the water of the salinity minimum layer moves gradually southward. This appears to give an explanation why the thermosteric anomaly value at salinity minimun decereases towards south.

본 연구에서는 순압모델을 이용하여 대마난류(Tsushima Warm Current)의 분기기작 및 계절별 분기위치의 변화에 바람이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 모델 격자간격은 위도와 경로방향 모두 0.25$^{\circ}$로 하였고 해수표면에 적용한 계절별 바람응력은 Hellerman and Rosenstein(1983)의 바람을 이용하였다. 모델결과에 의하면 대마난류는 북풍계열의 바람이 강한 동계(10월-3월)에는 일론 큐슈 남서쪽 대륙사면에서 쿠로시오로부터 직접 분기되어 형성되며, 하계(4월-9월)에는 대만해협(Taiwan Strait)을 통해 유입된 대만난류가 대마난류의 기원으로 나타난다. 쿠로시오는 동계에 최대 수송량을 가지며 하계에 최소를 보이고, 대만난류(Taiwan Current)의 수송량은 이러한 쿠로시오와 약 160도의 위상차를 갖는다. 대마난류의 수송량 변화는 쿠로시오의 변화와 120$^{\circ}$의 위상차(약 4개월)를 가질 때 잘 일치한다.

We identify two distinct finer-scale frontal bands: 'Mainland China Coastal Front' (MCCF) and 'Kuroshio Front' (KF). The MCCF is along the 50-m isobath with large temperature gradient. The front is a boundary between the Mainland China Coastal Current and the offshore shelf waters. On the other hand, the KF is extending from the northeastern coast of Taiwan toward the northeast and into the shelf of south ECS. It forms a broad semicircle-shape and curving along 100-m isobath, it also deviates from eastward at around 26.5N-122E and leaves the shelf of ECS. This front should be the boundary between the Kuroshio water and the other shelf waters.

We analyzed evaporation data in the Japanese Ocean Flux Data Sets with Use of Remote Sensing Observations (J-OFURO) Ver.2. There exists huge evaporation in Gulf Stream, Kuroshio Extension, the ocean dessert and the southern part of the Indian Ocean. The temporal variation of evaporation is overwhelmingly large, of which the standard deviation is more than 120(mm), in the Kuroshio Extension region. Also, the result of harmonic analysis gives that this large variation is closely related to annual variation. In addition, the first EOF mode shows long-term variation showing the maximum amplitude between 1992 and 1994 and remarkable decrease after 1994, and large amplitude in the equatorial region and northeast of Australia. The second and third modes were strongly influenced by El Nino. Moreover, we compared J-OFURO2 evaporation product with other products. We used six kinds of data sets (HOAPS3 and GSSTF2 of satellite data, NRA1, NRA2, ERA40 and JRA25 of reanalysis data) for comparison. Most products show underestimation in the most regions, in particular, in the northern North Pacific, mid-latitudes of the eastern South Pacific, and high-latitudes of the South Pacific compared with J-OFUR02. On the other hand, JRA25 and NRA2 show large overestimation in the equatorial regions. RMS difference between NRA2 and J-OFURO2 in the Kuroshio Extension was significantly large, more than 120(mm).

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.

The first 7 years of altimeter data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) were analyzed to study the surface circulation and its variability in the East Asian Marginal Seas. Long term averaged T/P sea level time series data where compared with in situ sea level measurements from a float-operated type tide gauge around of south Korea and Japan. T/P data are a large contaminated by 60-day tidal aliasing effect, very near the alias periods of M2 and S2. When this 60-day effect is removed, the data agree well with the tide gauge data with 4.6 cm averaged RMS difference. The T/P derived sea level variability reveals clearly the well-known, strong current-topography such as Kuroshio. The T/P mean sea level of North Pacific (NP) was higher than Yellow Sea (YS) and East Sea (ES). The T/P sea level valibility, with strong eddy and meandaring, was the largest in eastern part of Japan and this variability was mainly due to the influence of bottom topography in Kuroshio Extention area.

대한해협과 동중국해에서 1985년과 1986년에 관측한 수온, 염분자료를 사용하여 수괴를 분석하였다. 대한해협과 동중국해 수심 50m에서의 수괴 분포 특성은, 겨울과 봄철에는 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K) 및 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴I), 여름과 가을철에는 대륙 연안수의 영향을 많이 받은 혼합수(수괴 I${\sim}$IV)의 수괴분포가 넓게 나타났다. 겨울과 봄에 수심 loom의 동중국해는 주로 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K) 및 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 넓게 분포하고 있었다. 여름에는 혼합수(수괴 I${\sim}$III)가 널리 나타나 연중 여름에 가장 혼합이 많이 된 수괴가 분포하고 있는 것이 특징이었다. 가을에는 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 주요 수괴였다. 대한해협에서는 겨울과 봄에는 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K), 여름과 가을에는 혼합수(수괴 I${\sim}$IV)가 주로 분포하고 있었다. 겨울과 봄철에 대기로부터의 냉각에 의한 보정을 하면,쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K)의 분포해역이 줄어든 대신에 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)의 분포 해역이 늘어났다. 즉, 동중국해와 대한해협에서 겨울과 봄에 주로 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K)가 분포하는 것처럼 보이지만,실제는 약간 변질된 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 넓게 분포하고 있는 것이다. 계절별 해황특성으로 여름철에 표층 저밀도수의 분포가 대한해협과 오끼나와 쪽으로 향하는 두 갈래 혀 모양의 형태를 나타내고 있었다. 이것은 중국대륙 연안수와 혼합된 저밀도 표층수의 흐름이 대한해협과 동중국해 동남쪽으로 향하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

A simple two-and -half-layer model is used to study the circulation of South China Sea( SCS ). The model is coming from the reduced gravity model of Hurbult and Thompson, with the assumption of rigid surface. It shows there is no distinct branch of the Kuroshio into the SCS. Both the upper and lower pycnocline height anomaly show that the main feature of the circulation of SCS is a cyclone, which is generated by the transportion of the vorticity from the Kuroshio. Aftr generated, the cyclone moves westward due to the beta effect, then dissipates near the west boundary due to the viscosity. After an old one dissipates, a new one appears again. The life cycle of the cyclone is about 160 days.
