In cold season, ice accretion on ship, drift ice, NW winter monsoon, developed extratropical cyclones and associated cold fronts, in warm season, tropical cyclones and dense sea fogs, are encountered very frequently in the North Pacific, especially in the northwest part of it. The two areas, namely, the northwest part of the North Pacific and Burmuda Triangle in the North Atlantic are generally known as most dangerous areas in the world because its high incidence of sea cascualities. In recent years, the small fisherboats operating in the northern seas were frequently sunk in a group as they encountered ice accretion or drift ice. And ocean going vessels were also sunk frequently due to strong winds and very high seas in winter monsoon or developed cyclones and cold fronts. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the real state of heavy weather conditions such as ice accretion on ship drift, ice, typhoons and sea fogs, and also to analyse the effect of these heavy weather phenomena on the vessels at sea, thus helping mariners operate in such heavy weather conditions.

The mesoscale eddy field in the North Pacific Ocean, simulated by a high resolution eddy-resolving OGCM ($1/12^{\circ}C$ horizontal resolution), was analyzed, and compared with satellite altimetry data of TOPEX/Poseidon. High levels of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) appear near the Kurosho, North Equatorial Current (NEC), and Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) in the western part of the subropical gyre. In particlure, it was found that the EKE level of the STCC has a well-defined annual cycle, but no distinct annual cycle of the EKE exists in any other zonal current of the North Pacific Ocean.

A typical snowfall pattern occurs over the east coastal region of the Korean Peninsula, known as the Yeongdong region. The precipitation over the Yeongdong region is influenced by the cold and dry northeasterly wind which advects over warm and moist sea surface of the East Sea of Korea. This study reveals the influence of large-scale factors, affecting local to remote areas, on the mesoscale snowfall system over the Yeongdong region. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction-Department of Energy reanalysis dataset, Extended Reconstructed sea surface temperature, and observed snowfall data are analyzed to reveal the relationship between February snowfall and large-scale factors from 1981 to 2014. The Yeongdong snowfall is associated with the sea level pressure patterns over the Gaema Plateau and North Pacific near the Bering Sea, which is remotely associated to the sea surface temperature (SST) variability over the North Pacific. It is presented that the relationship between the Yeongdong snowfall and large-scale factors is strengthened after 1999 when the central north Pacific has warm anomalous SST. These enhanced relationships explain the atmospheric patterns of recent strong snowfall years (2010, 2011, and 2014). It is suggested that the newly defined index in this study based on related SST variability can be used for a seasonal predictor of the Yeongdong snowfall with 2-month leading.

The changes in the teleconnection associated with El Nin?o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) over the East Asia and North Pacific under greenhouse warming are analyzed herein by comparing the Historical run (1970/1971~1999/2000) and the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 run with 31 climate models, participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). It is found that CMIP5 models have diverse systematic errors in simulating the ENSO teleconnection pattern from model to model. Therefore, we select 21 models based on the models' performance in simulating teleconnection pattern in the present climate. It is shown that CMIP5 models tend to project an overall weaker teleconnection pattern associated with ENSO over East Asia in the future climate than that in the present climate. It can be also noted that the cyclonic flow over the North Pacific is weakened and shifted eastward. However, uncertainties for the ENSO teleconnection changes still exist, suggesting that much consistent agreements on this future teleconnections associated with ENSO should be taken in a further study.

이 연구는 북서태평양에서 여름철(7-9월) 동안 발생하는 태풍 빈도를 예측하기 위한 다중회귀모델을 4가지 원격패턴을 이용하여 개발하였다. 이 패턴은 4-5월 동안 동아시아 대륙에서의 시베리아 고기압 진동, 북태평양에서의 북태평양 진동, 호주근처의 남극진동, 적도 중앙태평양에서의 대기순환으로 대표된다. 이 통계모델은 이 모델로부터 예측된 높은 태풍발생빈도의 해와 낮은 태풍발생빈도의 해 사이에 차를 분석함으로써 검증되었다. 높은 태풍발생빈도의 해에는 다음과 같은 4가지의 아노말리 특성을 나타내었다: i) 동아시아 대륙에 고기압성 순환 아노말리(양의 시베리아 고기압진동), ii) 북태평양에 남저북고의 기압계 아노말리, iii) 호주 근처에 저기압성 순환 아노말리(양의 남극진동), iv) 봄부터 여름 동안 니뇨3.4 지역에 저기압성 순환 아노말리. 따라서 적도 서태평양에서 무역풍 아노말리는 양반구의 아열대 서태평양에 위치한 저기압성 순환 아노말리에 의해 약화되었다. 결국, 이러한 기압계 아노말리의 공간분포는 열대 서태평양에 대류를 억제하는 대신 아열대 서태평양에 대류를 강화시켰다.

북동태평양 열대 해양의 해수특성과 해양구조를 파악하기 위하여 2005년 7-8월에 $131.5^{\circ}W$ 관측선에서 관측한 CTD 자료를 분석하였다. 또한 적도 부근 태평양의 해수특성을 전반적으로 이해하기 위하여 서태평양 $137^{\circ}-142^{\circ}E$에서의 CTD 자료도 분석하여 동태평양의 분석 결과와 비교하였다. 여름철 동태평양의 표층수온은 적도반류 해역에서 가장 높았다. 이것은 $28^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온수가 봄과 여름철에 적도반류를 타고 서태평양으로부터 동태평양으로 이동하여 약 $4^{\circ}-15^{\circ}N$ 사이에서 동서로 연결되기 때문이다. 북적도해류의 표층에 나타나는 저염분 고용존산소의 해수는 동태평양의 파나마만으로부터 서태평양의 필리핀 부근까지 이동하는 저염분수 때문이다. 반면 남적도해류의 표층에 고염분과 저용존산소의 해수가 분포하는 것은 남태평양 아열대 기원의 고염분수가 적도를 넘어 남적도해류 표층의 열대해수(Tropical Water)와 심층의 고염분수를 형성하고 있기 때문이다. 수심 약 500-1500 m 사이의 중층에서는 염분최소층이 분포하는데, $5^{\circ}N$ 이남은 남극중층수(AAIW) 기원의 해수가, $5^{\circ}N$ 이북은 북태평양중층수(NPIW) 기원의 해수가 분포한다. $4^{\circ}-6^{\circ}N$ 해역에서는 직경 약 200 km이며 반시계 방향으로 회전하는 냉수성 소용돌이(cold eddy)가 관측되었다. 서태평양에 비해 동태평양에서 표층수온은 $1^{\circ}C$ 이상 낮았으며 표층염분은 높았다. 적도 부근의 표층 아래에 분포하는 고염분수는 동태평양에서 상대적으로 저염분(약 0.5 psu) 이었고, $14^{\circ}N$ 이남에서 염분최소층의 염분과 밀도는 동태평양에서 높았다.

In the seas around the Korean Peninsula, the seasonal cycle of zooplankton related to North Pacific regime shifts was investigated to understand the reaction of the ecosystem to climate change using long-term data on zooplankton biomass (1965-2000) and the abundance of four major zooplankton groups: copepods, amphipods, chaetognaths, and euphausiids (1978-2000). In general, the zooplankton biomass showed a large peak in spring and a small peak in autumnin Korean waters, but there was a slight difference in the peak time depending on the location and the period before and after the North Pacific regime shift. The zooplankton biomass showed conspicuous seasonal peaks in R-III (1990-2000) compared to R-I (1965-1976) and R-II (1977-1988), and the seasonal peak shifted from the autumn in R-II to the spring in R-III. The peak of copepods and euphausiids in abundance was from April to June, while chaetognaths peaked from August to October. We postulate that the time lag between the peaks for copepods and chaetognaths results from the predator-prey relationship. The regime shift in 1989 did not alter the seasonal cycle of the four major zooplankton groups, although it enhanced their production. The seasonal peaks of the four major zooplankton groups did not shift, while the seasonal peaks of the zooplankton biomass did shift. This was not only becausethe zooplankton biomass included other mesozooplankton groups but also because the abundance of the four major zooplankton groups increased significantly in spring.

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.
