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.

The relationship between the distribution of sea surface temperature(SST) and dinoflagellate(Cochlodinium polykrikoides) bloom areas were studied. The SST data were derived from the infrared channels of AVHRR(Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) sensor on NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) 12 and 14 satellites during 1995-1998. The initial water temperature at C. polykrikoides bloom was about 21${\circ}C$ at the coastal areas of the South Sea and along the shore of the East Sea of Korea during the summer season of 1995. The northern limit of red tides was coincident with that of 21${\circ}C$ isothermal line in the East Sea. The red tides that initially bloomed at the coast of Pohang on September 21, 1995 moved to the coast of Uljin on September 26, 1995. The skipped appearance of the red tides in the areas between Pohang and Uljin was due to the East Korean Warm Current, which was moving offshore from Pohang to approach to Uljin. The cold water which was formed by tidal front in the western coast of the South Sea and by upwelling water from deep layer in the southeastern coast of the Korean peninsula played a role in blocking the spreading of red tides during summer season in 1997 and 1998. In conclusion, the distribution of red tides appeared to be dependent on the initial water temperature at red tides bloom. The SST at the red tides varied from 21${\circ}C$ to 25${\circ}C$; 21${\circ}C$, 23${\circ}C$, 24 and 24-25${\circ}C$ in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

The data of temperature, chlorophyll a, phytoplankton and NOAA/AVHRR satellite data were analyzed about 7 stations around Wando Island area on August 30, 2005. The sea water temperature range was from $15.19^{\circ}C$ to $24.97^{\circ}C$, and there was a cold water mass from the station 1 to 5 around the outside of Chungsando Island, the water temperature was lower at the bottom than surface. The salinity was $32.41{\sim}34.03$, DO was $7.40{\sim}9.14mg/L$, but the concentration of chlorophyll a was 1ug/L higher at the bottom than surface. Total phytoplankton appeared from the whole stations were 47 genus, 80 species and diatoms were dominant. A lot of dinoflagellates Ceratium forca and diatoms Thalassithrix spp. mostly appeared in the cold water mass were turned up from the station 1 to 5. 4 groups of phytoplankton clusters were shown in the surface, and 3 groups of phytoplankton clusters were shown at the bottom according to the water temperature. On the ground of the result analyzed with NOAA/AVHRR satellite data, the SST around Wando Island was $22{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, it was formed by thermohaline front latitudinally

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) estimated by using the operational SST derivation equations of NOAA/NESDIS were compared with satellite-tracked drifter temperatures. As a result of eliminating cloud-filled or contaminated pixels through several cloud tests, 69 matchup points between the drifter temperatures and the SSTs estimated with NOAA satellite 9, 10. 11 and 12 data from August, 1993 to July, 1994 were collected. Multi-channel sea surface temperature(MCSST) using a split window technique showed an approximately $1.0{\circ}C$ rms error as compared with the drifting buoy temperatures for 69 coincidences. Accuracies for satellete-derived sea surface temperatures were evaluated for only NOAA-11 AVHRR data which had relatively large matchups of 35points as compared with other satellites. For the comparison of the oberved temperatures with the calculated SSTs, linear MCSST and nonlinear cross product sea surface temperature(CPSST) algorithms by the split, the dual and the triple window technique were used respectively. As a result, the split window CPSSTs showed the smallest rms error of $0.72{\circ}C$. Defferences between the split window SSTs and the drifter temperatures appeared th have a linear tendency against the drifter temperatures and also against the differences between AVHRR channel 4 and 5 brighness temperatures. This indicates some possibilities that satelite-derived SSTs operationally calculated from the NOAA/NESDIS equation in the seas around Korea have been underestimated as compared with actural SSTs in case sea water temperature is relatively low or the atmosphere over the sea surface is very dry like in winter, while overstimated in case of high temperature or very moist atmospheric equations based on local sea measurements around Korea instead of global measurements should be derived.

In the Korean seas, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Thermal Fronts (TF) were analyzed temporally and spatially during 8 years from 1993 to 2000 using NOAA/AVHRR MCSST. As the result of harmonic analysis, distributions of the mean SST were $10~25^{\circ}C,$ and generally SST decreased as latitude increased. SST increased in the order as following; the South Sea $(20\~23^{\circ}C),$ the East Sea $(17\~19^{\circ}C)$, and the West $Sea(13\~16^{\circ}C).$ Annual amplitudes and phases were $4\~11^{\circ}C,\;210\~240^{\circ}$ and high values were shown as following; the West Sea $(A1,\;9\~11^{\circ}C),$ the Northern East Sea $(A5,\;8\~9^{\circ}C),$ the Southern East Sea $(A4,\;6\~8^{\circ}C),$ the South Sea $(A3,\;6\~7^{\circ}C),$ the East China Sea $(A2,\;4\~7^{\circ}C)$ and phases; $A3\;(238\~242^{\circ}),\;A4\;(235\~240^{\circ}),\;A5\;(225\~235^{\circ}),\;Al\;(220\~230^{\circ}),\;A2\;(210\~235^{\circ}),$ respectively, Both of them were related inversely except the area A2, therefore the rest areas were affected by seasonal variations. TF were detected by Soble Edge Detection Method using gradient of SST. Consequently, TF were divided into 4 fronts; the Subpolar Front (SPF) based on the Cold Water Mass (low SST and salinity Subartic Water), resulting from the North Korea Cold Current (NKCC) and the East Sea Proper Cold Water in the middle and low layer, and the Warm Water Mass (high SST and salinity Subtropical Water), resulting from the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) in area A4 and 5, the Kuroshio Front (KF) based on the Kuroshio Current (KC) and shelf waters in the East China Sea (ESC) in A2, and the South Sea Coastal Front (SSCF) based on the South Sea Coastal Water (SSCW) and TWC in A3. Also, the Tidal Front was weakly appeared in AI. TF located in steep slope of submarine topography. Annual amplitudes and phases were bounded in the same place, and these results should be considered to influence of seasonal variations.

1994년부터 2003년까지 임의로 선택한 달들에 대하여 NOAA/AVHRR 인공위성 자료와 해양 현장수온 관측 자료사이에서 획득된 845개의 일치점 자료를 활용하여 북동아시아 해역에서 해양 피층-표층 해수면온도 차이의 특성을 분석하였다. 해양상층 수 m내에서의 해수면온도의 일간 변화를 이해하기 위하여 일치점 데이터베이스는 낮과 밤, 표층 뜰개-선박 관측에 따라서 모두 네 가지 부류로 분류하였다. 주간표층 뜰개에 의한 수온 자료는 인공위성 해수면온도와 $0.56^{\circ}C$의 가장 작은 제곱평균오차를 보여서 위성관측 수온과 가장 잘 일치하였다. 주간 선박관측에 의한 CTD 수온 자료는 $1.12^{\circ}C$의 큰 제곱평균오차를 보여서 네 부류 중에서 가장 좋지 않은 정확도를 보였다. 위성 해수면온도와 현장 관측 해수면온도의 차이는 그 외에도 대기의 수증기 함량 효과, 연안으로부터 거리의 영향 등 다양한 요인에 의해 발생하였다. 그 중에서 가장 주목할 만한 오차는 수 m 이내 수온의 수직적 구조의 일간 변화에서 발생하였으며, 이는 표층 부이는 20 cm 정도, 선박 관측기기는 수 m현장에서 서로 다른 깊이의 수온을 관측하기 때문에 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 그동안 광범위하게 사용되어온 위성 SST는 어떤 경우에는 ${\pm}3^{\circ}C$의 큰 오차를 만들 수 있으므로 국지적 해양에서 해양 피층-표층 해수면온도 차이와 수온의 수직적 구조에 대한 보다 깊은 이해가 뒷받침되어야 하며, 이를 바탕으로 위성 SST를 사용자의 목적에 맞추어 주의 깊게 사용되어야 함을 제시한다.

Two-dimensional wavelet spectrum analysis is applied to Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images from the NOAA meteorological satellites in the area around Japan to unfold the horizontal structure of SST into space and scale (wavenumber), which can yield localized space-wavenumber information. The results reveal significantly new and previously unexplored insights on horizontal structure of sea surface temperature, which cannot be revealed using a traditional Fourier transform approach.

In the Korean seas, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Thermal ronts (TF) were analyzed temporally and spatially during 8 years from 1993 to 2000 using NOAA/AVHRR MCSST. In the application of EOF analysis for SST, the variance of the 1st mode was 97.6%. Temporal components showed annual variations, and spatial components showed that where it is closer to continents, the SST variations are higher. Temporal components of the 2nd mode presented higher values of 1993, 94 and 95 than those of other years. Although these phenomena were not remarkable, they could be considered ELNI . NO effects to the Korean seas as the time was when ELNI . NO occurred. 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 the Tidal Front (TDF) in the West Sea. TF generally occurred over steep bathymetry slopes, and spatial components of the 1st mode in SST were bounded within these frontal areas. EOF analysis of SST gradient values revealed the temporal and spatial variations of the TF. The SPF and SSCF were most intense in March and October; the KF was most significant in March and May.

동한 난류의 북상 끝부분 해역에서 재발생하는 와동류는 봄철과 가을철에 위성이 관측한 해수면 온도 영상에 나타났다. 이러한 재발생 와동류는 1997년 9월 하순 NOAA 위성에 탑재된 AVHRR의 열적외선 영상과 일본 ADEOS 위성에 탑재된 OCTS의 클로로필 영상에도 나타났다. 와동류의 중심은 주변보다 온도가 낮으며, OCTS 위성자료에서 3mg/m$^3$ 이상의 클로로필 농도가 나타났다. 반면, 와동류를 이루는 주변의 더운물에서는 클로로필 농도가 1mg/m$^3$ 이하로 나타났다. 와동류는 가을철 표면수온영상에도 나타났으며 봄에 나타난 것보다 와동류 중심핵의 찬물 온도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 와동류 중심에서 서쪽축의 더운물 온도가 봄에 나타난 것보다 가을에 더 높게 나타났다. 1998년 3월 NOAA 위성과 SeaWIFS 위성자료에서도 재발생되는 와동류와 클로로필량의 농도가 높은 물이 와동류 주변으로 포획되는 장면이 포착되었다. 동한난류의 북쪽 확장 선두와 약 1500m 수심의 대륙붕 위로 남하하는 리만한류가 만나 충돌하는 해역에서 와동류가 형성되는 것으로 사료된다. 와동류가 형성되는 이 해역은 동해 중앙부 해수면에서 우세하게 나타나는 극전선역에서 중규모 구조의 와동류가 극전선 서쪽 해역의 역학적인 해양현상과 강한 연관성이 있음을 나타내었다. ARGOS 위성 추적 표류부이와 와동류의 상호연관성 및 와동류의 지속성에 관한 증거가 토론되었다.

The purpose of this study is to describe the change of the spring bloom and oceanographic condition. The variation of pigment concentration derived from the satellite ocean color data has been analyzed. According to the movement of blooming area, blooming was very concerned with a rising trend of sea surface temperature and a supply of nutrients. A nutrient rich water carried by the Oyashio encounters with the warm Core ring, where mixings and blooms are observed. We examined the correlation by using the satellite observations of the temperature and chlorophyll-a for the spring seasons (May, June, July) of 1998 the off Sanriku area (38-43N, 141- l50E). Using the SeaWiFS data, we process the data into the level-3, which contains the geophysical value of chlorophyll-a. And chlorophyll-a data is mapped for the water between 110E and 160E, and 15N and 52N with a 0.08 * 0.05 degree grid for each image. And Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data is produced using the AVHRR onboard the NOAA. The SST is derived by the MCSST. Then, the data is mapped for the water as much as chi-a data. And these gridded image was made by detection of each water masses, which are Kuroshio Extension, the warm-core ring and the Oyashlo Intrusion, etc., using those satellite images to determine short term change. Off Sanriku is a place where warm-water pool and the Oyashio at-e mixed. When warm streamer has intruded in cold water, the volume of phytoplankton increases at the tip of warm streamer. Warm water streamer was trigger of occurring blooming. And also, SeaWiFS images provided as much information for the studies of chlorophyll-a concentrations in the surface.
