The CTD data observed in the sea northwest of Cheju Island have been analyzed to figure out the seasonal circulation around Cheju Island. Warm and saline waters flow into the Yellow Sea through the middle region of the Yellow Sea in winter and along the west coast of Korean Peninsula in summer. On the other hand, cold and less saline waters flow out of the Yellow Sea through the middle region in summer and along the west coast of Korean Peninsula in winter. These flows make the seasonal circulation around Cheju Island. As dynamics, the monsoon wind and the variation of Kuroshio transport have been suggested. Comparing the observational result, the circulation driven by the variation of Kuroshio transport is strengthened by monsoon winds in the numerical model.

Seasonal variation in global transport calculated from an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) has been assessed through the comparison with observational estimates. The OGCM based on the GFDL MOM1.1 has honzontal grid interval of 10 and 21 verticle levels, and was integrated for 31 years forced by climatological wind stress, freshwater flux, and heat flux with restoring. General features of the world ocean circulation are well reproduced, which include the western boundary currents such as the Kuroshio and the Agulhas Current, the Equatorial Current system, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and the Weddell Sea gyres. Also well resolved is the remarkable seasonal variation in the depth-integrated flows in the northern Indian Ocean due to the monsoonal wind. Monthly variation is found to be dominant in the transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the Drake Passage in accordance with observational estimates. It has been shown that the mid-latitude depth-integrated flows obey the Sverdrup relation, except for some regions such as continental shelf regions where the interaction between stratification and bottom topography is critical.

알라스카 만의 해수순환은 바람응력의 큰 계절적 변동에도 불구하고 큰 변화를 보이지 않는다. 그 역학적 원인을 알아보기 위해 일련의 수치모델 실험을 행하였다. 먼저, 관측밀도장으로부터 구한 진단모델 결과에 의하면 알라스카 난류의 계절적 변동은 거의 없으며, 여러 종류의 예보모델 결과에 의하면 해저지형과 경압성이 바람의 계절변동에 대한 해양반응에 영향을 미침을 보여준다. 모델 결과의 비교에 의해 경압해양의 바람의 계절변동에 대한 반응은 주로 순압성이며 순압 해수순환은 해저지형의 분만효과에 의해 약해지기 때문에 해수순간의 계절적 변동이 거의 나타나지 않는다.

Changes in a marine environment have a broad socioeconomic implication on fisheries and their relevant industries so that there has been a growing demand for the medium-range (months to years) prediction of the marine environment Using a medium-range ocean prediction model (Ocean Mid-range prediction System, OMIDAS) for the northwest Pacific, this study attempted to assess seasonal difference in the mid-range predictability of the sea surface temperature (SST), focusing on the Korea seas characterized as a complex marine system. A three-month re-forecast experiment was conducted for each of the four seasons in 2016 starting from January, forced with Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) forecast data. The assessment using relative root-mean-square-error was taken for the last month SST of each experiment. Compared to the CFSv2, the OMIDAS revealed a better prediction skill for the Korea seas SST, particularly in the Yellow sea mainly due to a more realistic representation of the topography and current systems. Seasonally, the OMIDAS showed better predictability in the warm seasons (spring and summer) than in the cold seasons (fall and winter), suggesting seasonal dependency in predictability of the Korea seas. In addition, the mid-range predictability for the Korea seas significantly varies depending on regions: the predictability was higher in the East Sea than in the Yellow Sea. The improvement in the seasonal predictability for the Korea seas by OMIDAS highlights the importance of a regional ocean modeling system for a medium-range marine prediction.

In this study we investigated changes in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) under the global warming scenario RCP 4.5 by analysing the results from the World Climate Research Program's (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Among the four models that had been employed to analyse the Tsushima Warm Current during the 20th Century, in the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 and HadGEM2-CC models the transports of the Tsushima Warm Current were 2.8 Sv and 2.1 Sv, respectively, and comparable to observed transport, which is between 2.4 and 2.77 Sv. In the other two models the transports were much greater or smaller than the observed estimates. Using the two models that properly reproduced the transport of the Tsushima Warm Current we investigated the response of the current under the global warming scenario. In both models the volume transports and the temperature were greater in the future climate scenario. Warm advection into the East Sea was intensified to raise the temperature and consequently the heat loss to the air.

In-situ experiment using ocean buoys is a direct ocean observation and has been playing an important role from the past to the present based on high reliability. The ocean buoy is operated more stable than before due to the technological development of communication (GPS, satellite, …) and equipment, but still moored buoys are not free from various accidents occurring in the ocean. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of countermeasures or manuals about mooring accidents. Therefore, in this study, based on the experience of operating buoys conducted for many years, the advantages and disadvantages of ocean buoys according to size were analyzed. and legal procedures before and after buoy mooring were presented to enhance the use of buoys. And it is suggested to realize successful experiment by proposing considerations before mooring the buoy in preparation for an accident.

해양의 고수온 현상은 지구온난화로 인한 주요 문제 중 하나로, 식량 자원의 감소와 해양 탄소 흡수력의 저하 등, 해양 생태계와 인류에게 직접적인 위협으로 부상하고 있다. 따라서, 한반도 주변 해역에서의 고수온 예측은 해양 환경 모니터링 및 관리에 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 역학 모델 기반 한반도 고수온 예측 시스템의 성긴 해양의 수직격자체계로 인한 고수온 예측의 과소모의를 개선하기 위해 LSTM 모델을 개발하였다. 2023년에 대해 수행된 한반도 고수온 예측 시스템의 고수온 예측 결과와 LSTM 모델의 결과를 기반으로 한반도 주변의 동해 해역, 황해 해역 그리고 남해 해역에서의 고수온 예측 성능을 평가했다. 본 연구에서 개발된 LSTM 모델이 세 영역 모두에서 수온이 상승하는 시기에 수온 예측 성능을 크게 개선하는 것으로 나타났으며, 수온 상승이 시작되기 전이나 하강하는 시기에는 예측 성능의 개선 효과가 미미했다. 이는 LSTM 모델이 성층이 강화되는 환경에서 성긴 수직격자로 인해 발생하는 고수온 예측의 과소모의를 개선할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다. 향후 역학 모델의 예측 성능 개선이나 역학 모델의 대체에 자료기반 인공지능 모델의 활용성이 확대될 것으로 기대한다.

A quasi depth-varying mathematical model for wind-generated circulation in coastal areas, expressed in terms of the depth-averaged horizontal velocity components and free surface elevation was validated and used to understand the diurnal circulation process. The wind velocity is considered as a dominant factor for driving the current. In this paper, three-dimensional numerical experiments that included the land topography were used to investigate the mesoscale air flaw over the coastal regions. The surface temperature of the inland area was determined through a surface heat budget consideration with the inclusion of a layer of vegetation.A series of numerical experiments were then carried out to investigate the diurnal response of the air flaw and wind-generated circulation to various types of surface inhomogeneities.

Three dimensional numerical experiments that included the land-use transformation by the large scale reclamation were used to investigate the mesoscale air flow over the coastal regions. In this paper the surface temperature of the inland was determined through the surface heat budget consideration with inclusion of a layer of vegetation. The vertical diffusion coefficients of momentum, heat and specific humidity in the constant flux layer were taken from the Mellor and Yamada(1975). It has shown that the resulting model is able to reproduce the air circulation in coastal regions, and the simulated characteristics agree with the known properties of this circulation. A series of numerical experiments were then carried out to investigate the diurnal response of the air flow to various types of surface inhomogeneities.
