관광단지의 개발로 인해 생활오염수가 연안생태계에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 제기된 제주도 남쪽 중문 연안해역에 대해 1997년 7월부터 2000년 6월까지 매달 1회씩 관측하여 물리해양학적 특성을 조사하였다. 겨울철과 여름철의특성은 각각 $12{\sim}4$월과 $6{\sim}10$월에 나타나며 5월과 11월은 중간시기이다. 겨울철에는 수온이 약 14{\sim}16^{\circ}C$, 염분이 34${\sim}$34.7 psu로 대마난류수가 분포하며 여름에는 수온이 $15{\sim}27^{\circ}C$, 염분이 32${\sim}$34.3 psu로 저층에는 여전히 대마난류수가 분포하고 표층에는 저염의 양자강연안수가 영향을 미치고 있다. 양자강연안수의 영향이 특히 강한 때는 30 psu 이하가 나타나기도 한다. 성층은 연안에서는 거의 형성되지 않고 외양에서 약 20m층에서 6${\sim}$10월에 형성된다. 표층의 등온선과 등염분선의 분포는 때때로 해안선에 수직인 경향이 나타나며 이것은 정점1부근의 화력발전소와 정점3부근의 하천과 하수종말처리장의 영향으로 해석할 수 있다. 이번 관측으로는, 이들의 영향이 미칠 수 있는 최대한도는 수온이 300m 거리에서 약 $0.4^{\circ}C$이하, 염분이 30m 이내의 거리에서 약 0.1 psu이하로만 말 할 수 있다. 보다 정확한 영향을 파악하기 위해서는 관측정점들이 화력발전소와 하수종말처리장 배출구에 보다 가깝고 조밀해야 할 것이다.

하계에 연안혼합역과 외해성층역 사이에서 강력한 표층수온전선이 형성되는 한국 서해 중부의 태안반도 인근해역에서 1994년 7월, 1995년 5원 및 1996년 6월 등 3회에 걸쳐 취득한 해수물성자료를 분석하였다. 수직혼합역은 최저 15 m에서 최고 60 m 이상까지의 다양한 수심의 지형으로 이루어졌으며, 수심에 관계없이 표층과 저층의 수온차가 $1^{\circ}C$ 이내였다. 관측시기에 관계없이 혼합역 내의 수평적인 표층수온차는 작으면서도 수심에 반비례하는 특정을 보이고 표층수온이 가장 낮은 해역은 태안반도 서단에서 남서방향으로 형성되어있는 수심이 50 m 이상인 깊은 수로를 중심으로 관측되었다. 또한 6월에 관측한 표층수온전선이 태양복사열이 더 강한 7월에 관측한 표층수온전선에 비해 더 강한 특성을 보였다. 이러한 관측결과는 연구해역의 표층수온전선역은 수층의 수직혼합에 의해 형성되지만, 수온전선의 강도는 수직혼합역의 수성 및 외해성층역의 수온의 수직구조 등에 의해 결정되는 것으로 해석된다.

The evolution of intricate and striking patterns of suspended sediments (SS), which are created by certain physical dynamics in the East China and Yellow Seas, has been investigated using satellite ocean color imageries and vertical profiles of particle attenuation and backscattering coefficients. The structure of these patterns can reveal a great deal about the process underlying their formation. Sea surface temperature (SST) analyzed from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) thermal infrared data were used to elucidate the physical factors responsible for the evolution of suspended sediment patterns in the East China Sea. The concomitant patterns of suspended sediments were tracked from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) ocean color data. The detailed examination about these patterns gave birth to the definition of the evolution of suspended sediments (SS) into four stages: (1) Youth or Infant stage, (2) Younger stage, (3) Mature stage, and (4) Old stage. We describe about the three directional forces of the tidal currents, ocean warm currents and estuarine circulations that lead to occurrence of various stages of the evolution of suspended sediments that increase turbidity at high levels through out the water column of the inner and outer shelf areas during September to April. The occurrence of these four stages could be repeatedly observed. In contrast, vertical profiles of the particle attenuation ($c_{p}$) and backscattering ($b_{bp}$) coefficients displayed obvious patterns of the propagation of suspended sediment plume from the southwestern coastal sea that leads to eventual collision with the massive sediment plume originating from the Yangtze banks of the East China Sea.

The samples for organic carbon analysis were collected between $5^{\circ}\;and\;17^{\circ}N$ along $131.5^{\circ}W$ in the northeast Pacific KODOS (Korea Deep Ocean Study) area. The mean concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) in the surface mixed layer $({\sim}50 m)$ was $100.13{\pm}2.05{\mu}M-C$, while the mean concentration of TOC in the lower 500m of the water column was $50.19{\pm}4.23{\mu}M-C$. A strong linear regression between TOC and temperature $(r^2=0.70)$ showed that TOC distribution was controlled by physical process. Results from the linear regression between chlorophyll-a and TOC, and between chlorophyll-a and particulate organic carbon (POC), decreasing of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the surface layer caused by non-biological photo-oxidation process. Below the surface layer, biological production and consumption occurred. DOC accumulation dominated in the depth range of $30{\sim}50m$ and DOC consumption occurred in the depth range of $50{\sim}200m$. TOC was inversely correlated with apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) and TOC/AOU molar ratios ranged from -0.077 to -0.21. These ratios indicated that TOC oxidation was responsible fur $10.9{\sim}30.1%$ (mean 20.2%) of oxygen consumption in the NE Pacific KODOS area. In the euphotic zone, distributions of dissolved and particulate organic matter were controlled by photo-chemical, chemical, biological and physical processes.

본 연구에서는 최근 물리적 관측 방법으로 그 존재가 확인된 얇은 층(thin layer)의 형성 메커니즘에 대하여 검토하였다. 기존의 연구들에서는 성층과 전단응력의 상대적 크기인 Richardson수가 얇은 층의 중요한 결정요인인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 성층이 없는 조건하에서의 물리적 수치 실험은 미세 난류(micro-structure turbulence)가 플랑크톤의 거동에 변화를 주어 성장과 재생산 등에 영향줄 수 있음을 설명하였다. 기존의 플랑크톤 거동에 성층과 전단응력의 효과를 고려하여 최근 Gyrotaxis의 메커니즘으로 얇은 층이 형성되는 과정을 설명하였다. 이러한 생태학적 문제에 물리학적 연구방법론의 적용이라는 최근의 연구경향은 현재 및 향후에 해양생태학에서 중요한 접근방법이라고 할 수 있다.

Jellyfish (cnidarian) are conspicuous in many marine ecosystems when in bloom. Despite their importance for the ecosystem structure and function, very few sampling programs are dedicated to sample jellyfish because they are patchily distributed and easily clogged plankton net. Although satellite remote sensing is an excellent observing tool for many phenomena in the ocean, their uses for monitoring jellyfish are not possible due to the coarse spatial resolutions. Hence, we developed the low altitude remote sensing platform to detect jellyfish in high resolutions, which allow us to monitor not only horizontal, but also vertical migration of them. Using low altitude remote sensing platform,we measured the jellyfish from the pier at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Chesapeake Bay. The patterns observed included discrete patches, in rows that were aligned with waves that propagated from deeper regions, and aggregation around physical objects. The corresponding areas of exposed jellyfish on the sea surface were $0.1{\times}10^4pixel^2$, $0.3{\times}10^4pixel^2$, and $2.75{\times}10^4pixel^2$, respectively. Thus, the research result suggested that the migration of the jellyfish was related to the physical forcing in the sea surface.

The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a primary role in global climate by storing and transporting anthropogenic carbon dioxide through the meridional overturning circulation and the biological pumping process. In this study, we aim to investigate interannual variability of summer chlorophyll concentration in the SO and its relation with the El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ Southern Oscillation (ENSO), using satellite ocean color data covering 16 years from 1997 to 2012. During El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods, chlorophyll concentration tends to increase in the subtropics (north of the subantarctic front). This chlorophyll increase is likely linked to El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-induced surface cooling that increases nutrient supply through enhanced vertical mixing in the subtropics. On the other hand, the subpolar gyres show localized chlorophyll changes in response to the ENSO. The localized response seems to be primarily attributed to changes in sea-ice concentrations. Our findings suggest that ENSO contributes interannual variability of chlorophyll in the SO through different mechanisms depending on regions.

To understand physical structures in the Korean waters, we investigated the spatio-temporal distribution of Pontella species known as indicator species of water mass using a David-Hempel neuston net from April 2002 to March 2003. Five Pontella species (P. chierchiae Giesbrecht, P. fera Dana, P. latifurca Chen and Zhang, P. securifer Brady and P. sinica Chen and Zhang) were found. Their abundance increased from May to October with increasing the surface water temperature. Pontella chierchiae predominantly appeared in the whole areas while P. latifurca scarcely occurred in coastal waters. The other three species (P. fera, P. securifer and P. sinica) were rarely found in the South Sea of Korea on August to September. We suggest that P. securifer and P. fera as oceanic species can play a role in an indicator species of the Tsushima Warm Current while P. sinica as Chinese coastal species is affected by the diluted waters of the Yantze River. We also provide re-description of the three species (P. chierchiae, P. fera and P. latifurca) insufficiently described and discuss their zoogeography.

Ten-year AVHRR sea surface temperature data obtained in the Yellow Sea are put into EOF analyses. Temperature variation is predominated by the first mode which is associated with the seasonal fluctuation of temperature with annual range decreasing with the bottom depth. Since such a strong annual signal may mask the upwind or downwind flows occurring intermittently during the winter, only the data obtained during this season are put into EOF analyses. Every winter shows similar results. The first mode, explaining more than 90% of total variance, appears to be a part of the seasonal variation of temperature mentioned above. In the second mode, the time coefficient is well correlated with northerly winds to which the responses of the trough and shallow coastal areas are opposite to each other. A simple theoretical consideration suggests the following physical explanation: The northerly wind stress anomaly creates an upwind (downwind) flow over the trough (coastal) areas, which then induces a temperature increase (decrease) by advection of heat, and vice versa for the southerly wind stress anomaly. Hence, this paper provides further evidence of the intermittent upwind or downwind flows occurring in the Yellow Sea every winter.
