본 연구에서는 동북아시아 NOAA AVHRR 위성관측 16년간(1990-2005) 해양표면 수온영상을 이용하여 에러 값 제거와 결측 자료 보완을 위하여 마르코프 계수를 결정하였고, 이 값에서 현재 수온평년 값을 더하여 구름 없는 해양표면수온 생성 기법을 제시하였다. 마르코프 연쇄 모델의 결과에 의하면, 마르코프 계수는 해류가 강한 쿠로시오 해역 등이 해류가 약한 동해 북서부의 대부분 해역과 동중국해보다 그 계수가 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 평균 수온의 변동은 봄과 가을이 겨울과 여름에 비하여 분산이 크게 나타났고, 계절별 일간 수온 차이도 수온의 계절적 변동이 큰 봄과 가을이 여름과 겨울에 비하여 큰 지역적인 차이를 보였다. 그 지역적인 분포는 봄과 가을의 경우 전 해역의 대륙 인접부에서 대부분 크게 나타났고, 동해 극전선 남부해역과 쿠로시오해역에서는 난류에 의한 열수송으로 일간 수온의 차이가 작았다.

Kitan 해협을 포함하는 Seto내해(inland sea)에서는 COD, 인 등에 관한 총량규제가 실시됨에도 불구하고 적조현상과 빈산소 수괴 현상이 매년 발생하고 있는데, 그 원인으로서 저니로부터의 용출과 부영양화에 따른 1차 생산의 증가가 주목되고 있다 또한 최근의 조사결과는 수질오염의 원인이 되는 질소와 인과 같은 영양염이 육지뿐만 아니라 태평양으로부터도 유입되고 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Osaka만과 Kii수로를 연결하는 Kitan해협에 있어서 유동구조와 물질수송구조의 실태를 명확히 밝히기 위해 현지관측을 실시하였으며, 기 출판된 자료와 함께 연구대상 해역의 오염원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 현지조사는 1999년부터 2002년 사이에 걸쳐 실시되었으며, 자료의 획득은 각 계절을 대표하는 2월, 5월, 8월, 11월에 각각 이루어졌다.

라디움(Ra) 동위원소 분포특성을 이용하여 동중국해와 남중국해 여름철 표층수의 해수의 조성을 밝히고자 하였다. 염분과 라디움 동위원소 방사능비($^{228}Ra/^{226}Ra$)의 분포는 동중국해와 남중국해에서 각기 쿠로시오 표층수와 장강 희석수, 쿠로시오 표층수와 연안 희석수의 두 단성분 해수의 단순혼합으로 설명하기에 적절하게 점진적으로 변화하는 분포양상을 나타냈다. 동중국해의 경우에 두 단성분 해수의 혼합은 Ra 동위원소비와 염분의 두 추적자로 각각 정량화가 가능하였는데, 결과를 비교해 보면 쿠로시오에 가까운 정점에서는 매우 비슷한 결과를 보였으나 대마난류가 분지된 이후부터는 차이가 커지기 시작하였다. 이러한 차이를 보이게 하는 가능한 요인으로 중층수와의 혼합이 지목되었다. 이 경우 염분과 Ra 동위원소비는 서로 반대방향으로 교란될 것으로 예상된다. 즉 염분은 저염수의 기여도를 과소평가하는 방향으로 반대로 Ra 동위원소비는 과대평가하게 되므로 두 결과값의 중간값이 실제에 가까울 것으로 판단되었다.

We measured the fugacity of $CO_2$ $(fCO_2)$, temperature, salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll a in the surface water of the western North Pacific $(4^{\circ}30'{\sim}33^{\circ}10'N,\;144^{\circ}20'{\sim}127^{\circ}35'E)$ in September 2002. There were zonally several major currents which have characteristics of specific temperature and salinity (NECC, North Equatorial Counter Current; NEC, North Equatorial Current; Kuroshio etc.). Surface $fCO_2$ distribution was clearly distinguished into two groups, tropical and subtropical areas of which boundary was $20^{\circ}N$. In the tropical Int surface $fCO_2$ was mainly controlled by temperature, while in the subtropical area, surface $fCO_2$ was dependent on total inorganic carbon contents. Air-sea $CO_2$ flux showed a large spatial variation, with a range of $-0.69{\sim}0.79 mmole\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$. In the area of AE (Anticyclonic Eddy), SM(Southern Mixed region) and NM (Northern Mixed region), the ocean acted as a weak source of $CO_2$ $(0.6{\sim}0.79 mmole\; m^{-2}day^{-1})$. In NECC, NEC, Kuroshio and ECS (East China Sea), however, the fluxes were estimated to be $-0.3mmole\; m^{-2}day^{-1})$ for the first three regions and $-1.2mmole\; m^{-2}day^{-1})$ for ECS respectively, indicating that these areas acted as sinks of $CO_2$. The average air-sea flux in the entire study area was $0.15mmole\;m^{-2}day^{-1})$, implying that the western North Pacific was a weak source of $CO_2$ during the study period.

A satellite tracked drifter experiment was conducted to observe thermal structure and surface circulation in the northeastern East China Sea. For this experiment, four ADOS buoys, assembled with surface float and thermister chain, were deployed on August 2007 in southern Jeju-do, where the Kuroshio Branch Current is separated from the main stream. Thermal structure in the upper layer of the northeastern East China Sea was successfully observed during the following $1{\sim}3$ months. Strong thermo-haline front in a northeast-southwest direction was observed. In the frontal zone, warm and saline Kuroshio origin water intermixes with fresher coastal water and flows toward the Korean Strait. Typhoon Nari, which passed over the East China Sea 20 days after commencement of study, caused distinct signals in the thermal structure and trajectory of buoys. During the typhoon, surface temperature abruptly dropped to about $4^{\circ}C$, while the thermocline formed at $30{\sim}50$ m depth vanished due to strong vertical mixing. Internal inertial oscillation occurred several days after the typhoon. The fortuitous occurrence of typhoon Nari showed that ADOS buoys can provide useful and accurate air-sea interaction data during typhoons.

Floating debris was observed using a training ship, KAYA, of Pukyong National University with cruising speed of about 10-12 knot during July 12~25, 2003. The area sampled was the East Sea enclosed by 3 nations, namely, Korea, Japan and Russia, and was divided into 68 unit segments on survey routes [Fig. 1]. Debris fabrication materials were categorized with 6 items, e.g., man-made or natural wood items, paper and cardboard, nylon rope, styrofoam, vinyl and plastic, floating metal and glass containers. All identified items within $100{\pm}10 m$ wide band were recorded but ignored if beyond this boundary. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The average numbers of debris per unit area, $1km^2$, were found as 16.3 pieces (items) in the sea. 2. The highest densities of numbers, $32.3pieces/km^2$, were discovered in vicinity of the Oki strait of Japan, area of 'NEK' in Fig. 1. 3. Especially, styrofoam item only was composed to 63.6% of all in the sea of 'SD', located in the southern part of Dokdo Island, Korea. The item seems to be derive from the Southern Sea of Korea. 4. Therefore, comparing the distribution of debris numbers (the results of above 2 and 3) with flow patterns of Kuroshio currents, it was shown that their relation was good agree each other. Further more surveys are being conducted and a much wider coverage can be achieved with other countries, then it can be obtained that the East Sea is polluted to some extent, where is the origin of debris, and the finding of floating routes and stationary sea.

NOAA/AVHRR data were used to analyze sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and thermal fronts (TFs) in the Korean seas. Temporal and spatial analyses were based on data from 1993 to 2000. Harmonic analysis revealed mean SST distributions of $10{\sim}25^{\circ}C$. Annual amplitudes and phases were $4{\sim}11^{\circ}C$ and $210{\sim}240^{\circ}$, respectively. Inverse distributions of annual amplitudes and phases were found for the study seas, with the exception of the East China Sea, which is affected by the Kuroshio Current. Areas with high amplitudes (large variations in SSTs) showed 'low phases' (early maximum SST); areas with low amplitudes (small variations in SSTs) had 'high phases' (late maximum SST). Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analyses of SSTs revealed a first-mode variance of 97.6%. Annually, greater SST variations occurred closer to the continent. Temporal components of the second mode showed higher values in 1993, 1994, and 1995. These phenomena seemed to the effect of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$. The Sobel edge detection method (SEDM) delineated four fronts: the Subpolar Front (SPF) separating the northern and southern parts of the East Sea; the Kuroshio Front (KF) in the East China Sea, the South Sea Coastal Front (SSCF) in the South Sea, and a tidal front (TDF) in the West Sea. Thermal fronts generally occurred over steep bathymetric slopes. Annual amplitudes and phases were bounded within these frontal areas. EOF analysis of SST gradient values revealed the temporal and spatial variations in the TFs. The SPF and SSCF were most intense in March and October; the KF was most significant in March and May.

Based on a time series of ocean climate indices and catch records for seven pelagic fish species in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) and Kuroshio-Oyashio Current (KOC) regions from 1910 to 2004, we detected regional synchrony in the long-term fluctuations of the fish populations and identified alternation patterns of dominant species related to climate shifts. The annual catches of Pacific herring, Japanese sardines, Japanese anchovies, jack mackerel, chub mackerel, Pacific saury and common squid in the TWC region fluctuated in phase with those in the KOC region, which suggests that they were controlled by the same basin-wide climate forcing. After the collapse of the herring fishery, the alternation sequence was: sardines (1930s), Pacific saury, jack mackerel, common squid and anchovies ($1950s{\sim}1960s$), herring ($late\;1960s{\sim}early\;1970s$), chub mackerel (1970s) and then sardines (1980s). As sardine biomass decreased in the late stages of the cool regime, catch of the other four species increased immediately during the warm period of the 1990s. Regional differences in the amplitude of long-term catch fluctuations for the seven pelagic fishes could be explained by regional differences in availability, fishing techniques and activity.

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.

The distributions of fish larvae and juveniles from the East China Sea, Yellow Sea and near Tsushima Island were investigated in Spring using the Maruchi (1994-1995) and Unagi (1996-1997) nets. A total of 94 species of fish larvae and juveniles belonging to 49 families under 17 orders were identified, of which Engraulis japonicus was dominant in every year except 1995 where Trachurus japonicus was dominant. Cluster analysis based on abundance and species composition by sampling stations (St.) revealed that the similar stations formed an arcuate group from Tsushima Island to southern Jeju Island in 1994, and from the Yellow Sea to southern Jeju Island in 1996. We concluded that these patterns resulted from the influence of the Tsushima Current prevailing in the east, and the Chinese Continental Waters and/or Hwanghae Cold Waters prevailing in the west, with Jeju Island exerting an influence in the centre. The diversity and composition of St. 97-3 and St. 97-5, both located where the Tsushima Current splits from the Kuroshio Current, was greatly different despite their close proximity. However, the former is located on the continental shelf, with the latter on the continental slope. This suggested that both topography and the Kuroshio Current have the most influence on the distribution of fish larvae and juveniles in this region. Furthermore, the weak Hwanghae Cold Waters of 1997 may have also limited the mixing of fish larvae and juveniles between the two stations.
