With the increasing demand for improved marine environments and safety, greater ability to minimize damages to coastal areas from harmful organisms, ship accidents, oil spills, etc. is required. In this regard, an accurate assessment and understanding of current systems is a crucial step to improve forecasting ability. In this study, we examine spatial and temporal characteristics of current systems in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island using a high-resolution regional ocean circulation model. Our model successfully captures the features of tides and tidal currents observed around Jeju Island. The tide form number calculated from the model result ranges between 0.3 and 0.45 in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island, indicating that the dominant type of tides is a combination of diurnal and semidiurnal, but predominantly semidiurnal. The spatial pattern of tidal current ellipses show that the tidal currents oscillate in a northwest-southeast direction and the rotating direction is clockwise in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island and counterclockwise in the Jeju Strait. Compared to the mean kinetic energy, the contribution of tidal current energy prevails the most parts of the region, but largely decreases in the eastern seas of Jeju Island where the Tsushima Warm Current is dominant. In addition, a Lagrangian particle-tracking experiment conducted suggests that particle trajectories in tidal currents flowing along the coast may differ substantially from the mean current direction. Thus, improving our understanding of tidal currents is essential to forecast the transport of marine pollution and harmful organisms in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island.

본 연구에서는 EFDC 모델을 이용하여 광양만과 진주만 해역에 대한 조석과 수온, 염분을 고려한 3차원 해수순환 양상을 재현하였다. 수치모델 결과는 관측 자료를 이용하여 검증하였고 그 결과 모델은 관측결과를 잘 재현하였다. 실험 결과, 연구해역의 해수순환은 노량수도와 대방수도 중간 해역에서 해수가 수렴 및 발산되는 양상을 보이고 잔차류는 전형적인 2층 순환구조를 보인다. 모델을 통해 광양만과 진주만 일대의 밀도성층 변화를 분석한 결과, 연구해역은 담수의 영향이 지배적인 해역으로 진주만의 경우 남강댐 방류의 영향을 지배적으로 받는 해역이지만 남강댐에서 방류를 하지 않는 경우에는 섬진강의 영향도 받는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 남강댐 방류시에는 광양만의 성층이 상대적으로 강화되는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

An algorithm to symmetric radius of $15ms^{-1}$ isotaches of tropical cyclones is suggested using infrared (IR) imagery of geostationary satellite. It is assumed that symmetric tangential winds outside the maximum winds exponentially decrease with the radial distances of the tropical cyclone, which has a clear eye-wall structure. Four parameters for estimation of the tropical cyclone size are center location, maximum sustained wind, radius of the maximum wind, and relaxation coefficient for the decreasing rate with distances of the tropical cyclone. The estimation results are limitedly verified as comparing to surface winds of polar orbiting satellite such as ASCAT data.

Simulation model for diffusion of oil spill is developed. The model can perform real time simulation in the case of oil spill accident in the ocean. The model consists of three dimensional ocean circulation model and model for diffusion of oil spill. Real time flow fields which are used in the calculation of advection of oil spill are obtained in the three dimensional ocean circulation model. The model for diffusion of oil spill includes the evaporation dissolution emulsification and downward diffusion. For the verification of the model it is applied to the oil spill from the accident of Sea Prince. The results shows good agreement.

The transport of radionuclides at oceanic scales can be assessed using a Lagrangian model. In this review an application of such a model to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans is described. The transport model, which is fed with water currents provided by global ocean circulation models, includes advection by three-dimensional currents, turbulent mixing, radioactive decay and adsorption/release of radionuclides between water and bed sediments. Adsorption/release processes are described by means of a dynamic model based upon kinetic transfer coefficients. A stochastic method is used to solve turbulent mixing, decay and water/sediment interactions. The main results of these oceanic radionuclide transport studies are summarized in this paper. Particularly, the potential leakage of ¹³⁷Cs from dumped nuclear wastes in the north Atlantic region was studied. Furthermore, hypothetical accidents, similar in magnitude to the Fukushima accident, were simulated for nuclear power plants located around the Indian Ocean coastlines. Finally, the transport of radionuclides resulting from the release of stored water, which was used to cool reactors after the Fukushima accident, was analyzed in the Pacific Ocean.

Several tidal current power plants are being planned and constructed in Korea utilizing the strong tidal currents along the west and south coasts. A tidal current reaches 9.7 m on the west coast; there are few potential regions for tidal current power generation. The construction of a dam to store water can prevent the circulation of water, causing a great environmental impact on the coast and estuary. The tidal barrage could produce a large amount of power, but it should be carefully considered. The purpose of developing renewable energies is to minimize the environmental impact and to maximize the utilization of clean energy. To produce a great quantity of power, tidal current farms require the placement of numerous units in the ocean. The power generation is very dependent on the size of the rotor and the incoming flow velocity. Also, the interactions between devices contribute greatly to the production of power. The efficiency of a power farm is estimated to determine the production rate. This paper introduces 3 D interaction problems between rotating rotors, considering the axial, transverse, and diagonal distances between horizontal axis tidal current devices.

진해·마산만에 대한 연구는 그동안 해수순환, 조석, 조류, 적조, 수질, 빈산소 환경을 주제로 많이 연구되었으나 주로 단기간 동안 일어나는 해양현상에 대해 연구가 수행되었으며, 만 전체적인 해수순환을 일으키는 물리적 기작을 자세히 살펴본 연구는 부족했다. 오염 물질의 이동과 확산 같은 현상은 주로 계절별로 변동성이 크기 때문에, 이 연구에서는 진해·마산만 해역의 해수순환이 계절적으로 어떻게 변동하는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 3차원 해양 순환 모델을 이용하여 2016년부터 2018년까지 진해·마산만의 해수순환을 수치모의하고, 여름철과 겨울철 해수순환을 표층, 중층, 저층에 대하여 살펴보았다. 또한 조석, 바람, 담수 유입에 대한 민감도 실험을 수행하여 각 요인들이 해수 유동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 진해·마산만의 해수순환은 가덕수도 저층에서 대한해협의 해수가 유입되고, 표층에서 진해·마산만의 해수가 유출되는 대류성 염하구 순환이 일어난다. 가덕수도를 통해 교환되는 해수의 순환은 크게 진해만 동부해역과 진해만 서부해역으로 나누어져 일어난다. 각 해역의 수로 방향을 기준으로 해수 수송량을 계산하였을 때, 진해만 동부해역의 남북방향 해수 교환 수송량은 진해만 서부해역에서 일어나는 동서방향 해수 교환량보다 겨울철에는 2.3배, 여름철에는 1.4배 크다. 진해만 서부해역은 계절별로 작용하는 힘들의 균형이 변화하여 해수순환 특성이 계절에 따라 크게 다르다. 겨울철에는 북서풍이 만드는 전단응력과 해수면 기울기의 영향으로 표층 해류가 남쪽으로, 저층 해류는 북쪽으로 흐르는 남북방향 대류성 순환이 강화된다. 반면, 남서풍이 부는 여름철에는 바람 응력에 의해 표층 해수가 동쪽으로 유출되고, 또한 남동쪽 해수면이 높아 북쪽 방향 순압성 압력경도력이 커져 동쪽 방향 유속이 강화된다. 저층에서는 밀도 구배가 커져 경압성 압력경도력이 남쪽으로 크게 작용하여 지형류 균형에 의해 가덕수도의 해수가 서쪽으로 강하게 유입하는 동서방향 대류성 순환이 겨울철보다 26% 강화된다. 진해만 서부의 대류성 순환은 겨울과 여름 모두 조류와 바람의 영향을 크게 받는다. 진해만 동부해역과 마산만에서는 모든 계절에 표층에서는 해수가 외해로 유출되고, 저층에서는 해수가 만 안쪽으로 유입되는 전형적인 염하구 순환을 보였다. 겨울철에는 바람과 담수유입이, 여름철에는 조류의 영향이 남북방향 염하구 순환 규모에 크게 기여하였다. 진해만 동부해역에는 지형의 영향을 받아 형성된 조석 잔차류도 뚜렷하다. 이 연구에서 제시한 진해·마산만의 계절별 해수순환 특성은 이 해역의 오염물질 확산, 여름철 빈산소수괴의 형성 기작 파악, 적조 생물의 유입과 유출을 이해하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The Yellow Sea is characterized by relatively shallow water depth, varying range of tidal action and very complex coastal geometry such as islands, bays, peninsulas, tidal flats, shoals etc. The dynamic system is controlled by tides, regional winds, river discharge, and interaction with the Kuroshio. The circulation, water mass properties and their variability in the Yellow Sea are very complicated and still far from clear understanding. In this study, an effort to improve our understanding the dynamic feature of the Yellow Sea system was conducted using numerical simulation with the ROMS model, applying climatologic forcing such as winds, heat flux and fresh water precipitation. The inter-annual variability of general circulation and thermohaline structure throughout the year has been obtained, which has been compared with observational data sets. The simulated horizontal distribution and vertical cross-sectional structures of temperature and salinity show a good agreement with the observational data indicating significantly the water masses such as Yellow Sea Warm Water, Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, Changjiang River Diluted Water and other sporadically observed coastal waters around the Yellow Sea. The tidal effects on circulation and dynamic features such as coastal tidal fronts and coastal mixing are predominant in the Yellow Sea. Hence the tidal effects on those dynamic features are dealt in the accompanying paper (Kim et at., 2004). The ROMS model adopts curvilinear grid with horizontal resolution of 35 km and 20 vertical grid spacing confirming to relatively realistic bottom topography. The model was initialized with the LEVITUS climatologic data and forced by the monthly mean air-sea fluxes of momentum, heat and fresh water derived from COADS. On the open boundaries, climatological temperature and salinity are nudged every 20 days for data assimilation to stabilize the modeling implementation. This study demonstrates a Yellow Sea version of Atlantic Basin experiment conducted by Haidvogel et al. (2000) experiment that the ROMS simulates the dynamic variability of temperature, salinity, and velocity fields in the ocean. However the present study has been improved to deal with the large river system, open boundary nudging process and further with combination of the tidal forcing that is a significant feature in the Yellow Sea.
