북태평양에 위치한 일본근애의 수괴분포에 대한 특성을 중층수에 중점을 두어 일본 해상 기상청이 관측한 정이 해양관측정선에서 얻어진 자료를 사용하여 검토하였다. 쿠로시오해역의 T-S도상에서 분산은 비교적 작게 나타나고 있다. 쿠로시오해역에서 고온, 고염분층에서부터 저온, 저염분측으로 이동하고 있다. 혼합해역에서 수형의 분한은 북으로 이동함에 따라 고염분측의 이동보다 저온, 저염분측으로 급격히 증가하고 있다. 염분극소층에서 해수의 써모스테릭 아노말리(thermosteric anomaly)는 해양관측정선이 북에서 남으로 이동함에 따라 감소하고 있다. 이러한 사실은 해수가 염분극소층을 따라 남하하는 것이 아니고, 염분극소층이 두 해수의 수직적인 경계임을 제시하고 있다. 여기서 오야시오수와 쿠로시오수의 두 전형적인 수괴를 정의하고 있따. 염분극소층보다 깊은 부분의 T-S도는 전형적인 오야시오수와 쿠로시오수가 같은 양으로 혼합하는데 대해, 염분극소층보다 상층에서는 전혀 다름 양상을 나타내고 있다. 염분극소층 해수의 써모스테릭 아노말리가 북에서 남으로 이동함에 따라 뚜렷이 감소해 간다. 이러한 사실은 왜 염분극소층에서 써모스테릭 아니말리의 값이 북에서 남쪽으로 이동함에 따라 감소하는지를 설명해 주고 있다.

Ocean climate variables ($1900{\sim}2005$), time series of catches ($1910{\sim}2005$) and body size data were used to assess the year-to-year and decadal scale fluctuations in abundance of the fish populations (Japanese sardine, anchovy, jack mackerel, chub mackerel, Pacific saury and common squid) that have spawning grounds in the East China Sea and its adjacent regions. A negative correlation between the abundance of pelagic fishes (e.g. jack mackerel) in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) region and the Kuroshio-Oyashio Current (KOC) region was attributed to the climatic modulation of larval transport and recruitment, which depends on the winter monsoon-induced drift, current systems, and spawning season and site. The changes in abundance and alternation of dominant fish populations in the two regions in the 1930s, 1970s, and late 1980s mirrored changes in the climate indices (ALPI, AOI and MOI). Oscillations in the decadal climate shifts between the two regions led to zonal differences in larval transport and recruitment, and hence differences in the abundance of the pelagic fish populations. During deep Aleutian Lows, as in the 1980s, larval transport from the East China Sea to the KOC region increases in association with the strong winter Asian monsoon, cool regime and increased volume transport of the Kuroshio Current systems, whereas during a weak Aleutian Low (as in the 1990s), larval transport to the TWC region increased in association with a weak winter Asian monsoon, a warm regime, and increased volume transport of the Tsushima current system. We postulate that the increased chub mackerel abundance in the TWC region and the decreased abundance in the KOC region in the 1990s are partly attributed to changes in recruitment and availability to the fishing fleets under the warm regime in the spawning and nursery grounds in the East China Sea in association with the quasi-steady state of mild winter monsoon in the 1990s. The fluctuations in chub mackerel and jack mackerel abundance are under the environment-dependant growth form, although the tropicalization was identified in the TWC region. The density-dependant growth form was found in Japanese sardine populations, but no tropicalization by fishing was identified in the long ($10{\sim}15$ year) periods of abundance despite their short ($3{\sim}4$ year) generation time, suggesting that the environment-dependant growth form drove the changes in abundance. Year-to-year and decadal scale variations in abundance and population structure of the Pacific saury responded to climate regime shifts (1976/1977, 1988/1989), suggesting that the fish is a key bio-indicators for changes in the ecosystem.

In this study, we evaluated the model performance with respect to Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Net Heat Flux (NHF) by considering the characteristics of seasonal temperature variation and contributing factors and by analyzing heat budget terms in the Northwestern Pacific and East Asian Marginal Seas ($110^{\circ}E-160^{\circ}E$, $15^{\circ}N-60^{\circ}N$) using the HadGEM2-AO historical run. Annual mean SST of the HadGEM2-AO is about $0.065^{\circ}C$ higher than observations (EN3_v2a) from 1950 to 2000. Since 1960, the model has simulated well the long-term variation of SST and the increasing rate of SST in the model ($0.014^{\circ}C/year$) is comparable with observations ($0.013^{\circ}C/year$). Heat loss from the ocean to the atmosphere was simulated slightly higher in the HadGEM2-AO than that in the reanalysis data on the East Asian Marginal Seas and the Kuroshio region. We investigated the causes of temperature variation by calculating the heat budget equation in the two representative regions. In the central part of the Kuroshio axis ($125^{\circ}E-130^{\circ}E$, $25^{\circ}N-30^{\circ}N$: Region A), both heat loss in the upper mixed layer by surface heat flux and vertical heat advection mainly cause the decrease of heat storage in autumn and winter. Release of latent heat flux through the heat convergence brought about by the Kuroshio contributes to the large surface net heat flux. Positive heat storage rate is mainly determined by horizontal heat advection from March to April and surface net heat flux from May to July. In the central part of the subtropical gyre ($155^{\circ}E-160^{\circ}E$, $22^{\circ}N-27^{\circ}N$: Region B), unlike Region A, vertical heat advection predominantly causes the decrease of heat storage in autumn and winter. In spring and summer, surface heat flux contributes to the increase of heat storage in Region B and the period is two times longer than the period for Region A. In this season, shoaling of the mixed layer depth plays an important role in the increase of SST.

지구온난화로 인한 북서태평양 및 한반도 근해의 미래 해수면 상승을 IPCC AR4 기후 예측모델들의 결과를 이용하여 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 대부분의 기후모델에서 제시하지 않은 지역적인 열팽창에 의한 해수면 상승을 3차원 수온과 염분 자료를 이용한 역학고도의 계산을 통해 분석하였다. 해수면 자료의 분석결과, 열팽창을 고려한 북서태평양 및 한반도 근해의 해수면 상승률은 전 지구 평균보다 최대 두 배까지 높게 나타났다. 특히, 쿠로시오 확장지역에서 가장 높은 해수면 상승 경향을 보였다. 열팽창을 고려한 A1B 시나리오에 의한 MPI_ECHAM5와 GFDL_CM2.1 모델 결과에서는 향후 100년 동안 북서태평양에서 각각 24 cm와 28 cm 그리고 한반도 근해에서 27 cm와 31 cm의 해수면이 상승하는 것으로 예측되었다. 통계분석 결과, 이러한 해수면 상승은 겨울철 시베리아 고기압의 약화와 북서태평양 해역의 기압장 변화 그리고 이로 인한 바람장 및 해류의 변화로 발생한 수온변화가 그 원인으로 분석된다. 특히, 쿠로시오 확장지역의 북상에 따른 수온 변화가 북서태평양에서 가장 큰 해수면 상승을 유발한 것으로 사료된다.

동계 동중국대륙의 연안수가 발달하여 쿠로시오 난류의 경계역으로 확장된 후 주변의 북상 난류역에 의해 포획됨으로써, 고립되는 현상이 1999년 및 2003년 NOAA 위성영상에 포착되었다. 1999년의 경우 냉핵 와동류(cold core eddy)는 약 2개불간 존재하였고 (5월초~6월 하순), cold core의 중심 수온은 15~2$0^{\circ}C$로 주변보다 2~3$^{\circ}C$ 낮게 나타났다. NOAA 위성수온 영상에 포착된 냉핵 와동류의 주변 가장자리 해역에서 SeaWiFS 위성자료로부터 추정된 클로로필 $\alpha$ 분포는 4.0~6.0 mg/m$^3$으로 냉핵 와동류 중심해역의 농도 1.0~3.0 mg/m$^3$ 보다 2배정도 높게 나타났다. 2003년 경우 2월중순에 냉핵 와동류 중심수온은 9~1$0^{\circ}C$였다. 와동류의 크기는 직경 150km 정도였으며, 냉핵 와동류의 수평 분포양상은 50m 등수심 분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 이어도(Socotra Rock) 해역을 중심으로 동계-춘계에 발생되는 냉핵 와동류의 형성 메카니즘은 중국대륙 연안수와 쿠로시오 난류가 만나는 경계역에서 수괴간의 힘의 균형, 계절풍 조건 및 해저 지형 분포와 밀접한 관계성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Annual variation of the surface mixed layer depth (MLD) in the southern part of the Sea of Japan is investigated based upon the oceanographic and meteorological data taken during 1971∼1975 by the Fisheries Research and Development Agency and the Central Meteorological Office of Korea. It is found that the variation of the MLD is strongly correlated with the heat exchange between the atmosphere and sea. The MLD and heat flux vary within ranges comparable to those in the Kuroshio region found by Bathen(1972) and Wyrtki(1965)

Altimeter(Topex/Poseidon) and AVHRR(NOAA) data were used to study the variations and correlations of Sea Level(SL) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the North East Asian Seas from November 1993 to May 1998. This region is influenced simultaneously to continental and oceanic climate as the border of the East Sea(Japan Sea). SL and SST have increased gradually every year because the global warming, and presented usually a strong annual variations in Kuroshio extension region with the influence of bottom topography.

한국과 중국 대륙사이에 위치하는 황해(Yellow Sea)는 형태적으로 폐쇄된 모양을 나타내고 있어서 여기에 서식하고 있는 어류상도 단순할 것 같이 생각되지만, 실제로는 중국과 한반도의 대형 하천에서 다량의 담수가 유입됨으로 인하여 계절적으로 염도의 변화가 심하게 일어나고, Kuroshio 난류의 영향과 여름철 황해 저층수의 형성으로 인한 영향 등으로 복잡한 해수환경의 생태적 특성을 가지고 있어, 실제로는 다양한 어류상을 구성하고 있다. (중략)

To investigate the effect of mechanical parameters on the circulation and its fluctuation in Sagami Bay, baroclinic model experiments were carried out by use of a two-layer source-sink flow in a rotating tank. In the experiment, a simple coastal topography with flat bottom was reproduced. The results show that the path of the Through Flow, which corresponds to the branch current of the Kuroshio, depends on external Rossby number (Ro) and internal Rossby number $(Ro^*)$, and divided into two regimes. For $Ro^*\leq1.0$ in which Rossby internal radius of deformation of the Through Flow is smaller than the width of the approaching channel, the current flows along the Oshima Island as a coastal boundary density current separated from the western boundary of the channel. For $Ro^*>1.0$ it changes to a jet flow along the western boundary of the channel, separated from the coast of Oshima Island. The current is independent on both Ro and Ro* in the regime of $Ro^*>1.0,\;Ro\geq0.06$ and $Ro^*\leq1.0,\;Ro\geq0.06$. The pattern of the cyclonic circulation in the inner part of the bay is also determined by Ro and Ro*. In case of $Ro^*\leq1.0$, frontal eddies are formed in the northern boundary of the Through Flow. These frontal eddies intrude into the inner part along the eastern boundary of the bay providing vorticity to form and maintain the inner cyclonic circulation. For $Ro^*>1.0$, the wakes from the Izu peninsula are superposed intensifying the cyclonic circulation. The pattern of the cyclonic circulation is divided into three types; 1) weak cyclonic circulation and the inner anticyclonic circulation $(Ro<0.12)$. 2) cyclonic circulation in the bay $(0.12\leq Ro<0.25)$. 3) cyclonic circulation with strong boundary current $(RO\geq0.25)$.
