A practical algorithm for prediction of the sea surface temperatures (SST)from the satellite remote sensing data is presented in this paper. The fluctuations of SST consist of deterministic normals and stochastic anomalies. Due to large thermal inertia of sea water, the SST anomalies can be modelled by autoregressive or Markov process, and its near future values can be predicted provided the recent values of SST are available. The actual SST is predicted by superposing the pre-known SST normals and the predicted SST anomalies. We applied this prediction algorithm to the NOAA AVHRR weekly SST data for 18 years (1981-1998) in the seas adjacent to Korea (115-$145^{\circ}E$, 20-$55^{\circ}N$). The algorithm is applicable not only for prediction of SST in near future but also for nowcast of SST in the cloud covered regions.

The necessity of the prediction on the Seasonal-to-Subseasonal (S2S) timescale continues to rise. It led a series of studies on the S2S prediction models, including the Global Seasonal Forecasting System Version 5 (GloSea5) of the Korea Meteorological Administration. By extending previous studies, the present study documents sea surface temperature (SST) prediction skill around the Korean peninsula in the GloSea5 hindcast over the period of 1991~2010. The overall SST prediction skill is about a week except for the regions where SST is not well captured at the initialized date. This limited prediction skill is partly due to the model mean biases which vary substantially from season to season. When such biases are systematically removed on daily and seasonal time scales the SST prediction skill is improved to 15 days. This improvement is mostly due to the reduced error associated with internal SST variability during model integrations. This result suggests that SST around the Korean peninsula can be reliably predicted with appropriate post-processing.

해수면 온도는 기후와 바다의 생태계 그리고 인간의 활동에까지 중요한 영향을 미치는 해수의 특성 중 하나로 이를 예측하는 것은 항상 중요하게 다뤄지는 문제다. 최근 들어 과거의 패턴을 학습하여 예측값을 생성할 수 있는 딥러닝을 활용한 해수면 온도 예측이 복잡한 수치모델을 이용한 예측의 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 딥러닝은 입력 자료 간의 비선형적인 관계를 추정할 수 있는 것이 큰 장점이며, 최근 컴퓨터 그래픽카드의 발달로 많은 양의 데이터를 반복적이고 빠르게 계산할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 딥러닝 모델의 단점들을 보완하면서 시공간 자료를 다룰 수 있는 합성곱 신경망(Convolutional Neural Network) 기반의 U-Net을 통해 단기 해수면 온도 예측을 수행하였다. 개발한 딥러닝 모델을 이용한 한국 남부 근해 해수면 온도의 단기 예측은 예측일의 해수면 온도의 중장기 변동성에 따라 달라지는 성능을 보였다. 해수면 온도 변동성의 증감은 계절적 변동 뿐 아니라 Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) 지수의 변동과도 유의미한 상관관계를 보였는데, 이는 계절 변동 및 PDO에 따른 기후 변화에 기인한 수온 전선의 강도 변화가 해수면 온도의 시공간적 변동성에 영향을 줌으로써 발생했음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 해수면 수온 자료가 가지고 있는 계절적 변동성과 경년 변동성이 딥러닝 모델의 해수면 단기 수온 예측 성능에 기여함을 밝힌 것에 그 의의가 있다.

The NOAA AVHRR remote sense SST data, collected by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), are analyzed in order to understand the spatial and temporal distributions of SST in the seas adjacent to Korea. Our study is based on 10-day SST images during last 7 years (1991-1997). For a time series analysis of multiple 557 images, all of images must be aligned exactly at the same position by adjusting the scales and positions of each SST image. We devised an algorithm which yields automatic detections of cloud pixels from multiple SST images. The cloud detection algorithm is based on a physical constraint that SST anomalies in the ocean do not exceed certain limits (we used $\pm$ 3$^{\circ}C$ as a criterion of SST anomalies). The remote sense SST data are tuned by comparing remote sense data with observed SST at coastal stations. Seasonal variations of SST are studied by harmonic fit of SST normals at each pixel. The SST anomalies are studied by statistical method. We found that the SST anomalies are rather persistent with time scales between 1 and 2 months. Utilizing the persistency of SST anomalies, we devised an algorithm for a prediction of future SST Model fit of SST anomalies to the Markov process model yields that autoregression coefficients of SST anomalies during a time elapse of 10 days are between 0.5 and 0.7. We plan to improve our algorithms of automatic cloud pixel detection and prediction of future SST. Our algorithm is expected to be incorporated to the operational real time service of SST around Korea.

This study investigates the response of a typhoon model to the change of the sea surface temperature (SST) throughout the model integration. The SST change is parameterized as a formulae of which the magnitude is given as a function of not only the intensity and the size but the moving speed of tropical cyclone. The formulae is constructed by referring to many previous observational and numerical studies on the SST cooling with the passage of tropical cyclones. Since the parameterized cooling formulae is based on the mathematical expression, the resemblance between the prescribed SST cooling and the observed one during the period of the numerical experiment is not complete nor satisfactory. The agreements between the prescribed and the observed SST even over the swath of the typhoon passage differ from case to case. Numerical experiments are undertaken with and without prescribing the SST cooling. The results with the SST cooling do not show clear evidence in improving the track prediction compared to those of the without-experiments. SST cooling in the model shows its swath along the incomplete simulated track so that the magnitude and the distribution of the sea surface cooling does not resemble completely with the observed one. However, we have observed a little improvement in the intensity prediction in terms of the central pressure of the tropical cyclone in some cases. In case where the model without the SST treatment is not able to yield a correct prediction of the filling of the tropical cyclone especially in the decaying stage, the pulling effect given by the SST cooling alleviates the over-deepening of the model so that the central pressure approaches toward the observed value. However, the opposite case when the SST treatment makes the prediction worse may also be possible. In general when the sea surface temperature is reduced, the amount of the sensible and the latent heat from the ocean surface become also reduced, which results in the weakening of the storms comparing to the constant SST case. It turns out to be the case also in our experiments. The weakening is realized in the central pressure, maximum wind, horizontal temperature gradient, etc.

해수면 온도(Sea surface temperature, SST)는 지구시스템에서 해양의 순환과 생태계에 큰 영향을 주는 요소이다. 지구온난화로 한반도 근해 해수면 온도에 변화가 생기면서 이상 수온(고수온, 저수온) 현상이 발생하여 해양생태계와 수산업 피해를 지속적으로 발생시키고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 한반도 근해 해수면 온도를 예측하여 이상 수온 현상 예측으로 피해를 예방하는 방법론을 제안한다. 연구 지역은 한반도 근해로 설정하여 동시간대 해수면 온도 데이터를 사용하기 위해 Europe Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)의 ERA5 자료를 사용하였다. 연구방법으로는 해수면 온도 데이터의 시계열 특징을 고려하여 딥러닝 모델 중 시계열 데이터 예측에 특화된 Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 예측 모델은 1~7일 이후 한반도 근해 해수면 온도를 예측하고 고수온(High water temperature, HWT) 혹은 저수온(Low water temperature, LWT) 현상을 예측한다. 해수면 온도 예측 정확도 평가를 위해 결정계수(Coefficient of determination, R²), 평균제곱근 편차(Root Mean Squared Error, RMSE), 평균 절대 백분율 오차(Mean Absolute Percentage Error, MAPE) 지표를 사용하였다. 예측 모델의 여름철(JAS) 1일 예측 결과는 R²=0.996, RMSE=0.119℃, MAPE=0.352% 이고, 겨울철(JFM) 1일 예측 결과는 R²=0.999, RMSE=0.063℃, MAPE=0.646% 이었다. 예측한 해수면 온도를 이용하여 이상 수온 예측 정확도 평가를 F1 Score로 수행하였다(여름철(2021/08/05) 고수온 예측 결과 F1 Score=0.98, 겨울철(2021/02/19) 저수온 예측 결과 F1 Score=1.0). 예측 기간이 증가하면서 예측 모델이 해수면 온도를 과소추정하는 경향을 보여주었고, 이로 인해 이상 수온 예측 정확도 또한 낮아졌다. 따라서, 향후 예측 모델의 과소추정 원인을 분석하고 예측 정확도 향상을 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

장마는 일반적으로 6월 21-26일에 시작되는데 1961년부터 1990년까지의 일강수자료와 동부아시아의 일기도를 분석하여 장마와 늦장마 시작일의 분포를 보면 El Ni${\~{n}}$o해에는 늦어지고 La Nina현상이 나타나는 해에는 일찍 시작되는 경향이 있어서, 장마 및 늦장마 시작일과 태평양의 해수면은 도(SST) 및 북반구 500mb 고도값과의 관계를 분석하여 장마와 늦장마의 시작시기를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 구축하고자 하였다. 장마 시작일은 중태평양의 5월 평균 SST, 북부 허스슨만의 3월 평균 500mb 고도값과 유의한 상관관계를 보인다. 8월 18일경에 중서부 지방에서부터 시작되는 늦장마의 시작일은 호주 서안에 면한 인도양의 5월 평균 SST, 그리고 적도 남부 중태평양의 5월 평균 SST, 시베리아 북서부의 7월 평균 500MB 고도값과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내므로 polynomial regression을 사용하여 장마와 늦장마 시작일의 최적 예측모델을 구축하였다. 이 모델은 장마 시작일의 경우 비교적 정확하게 예측 할 수 있으나 (residual=${\pm}$5.0) 늦장마의 경우에는 평균오차가 3.3일이고 최대오차가 10일에 달하므로 보다 정확한 예측모델을 구축하기 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.

In order to understand the relation between the distribution of sea surface temperature and heavy snowfall over western coast of the Korean peninsula, several numerical assessments were carried out. Numerical model used in this study is WRF, and sea surface temperature data were FNL(National Center for Environment Prediction-Final operational global analysis), RTG(Real Time Global analysis), and OSTIA(Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis). There were produced on the basis of remote sensing data, such as a variety of satellite and in situ observation. The analysis focused on the heavy snowfall over Honam districts for 2 days from 29 December 2010. In comparison with RTG and OSTIA SST data, sensible and latent heat fluexes estimated by numerical simulation with FNL data were higher than those with RTG and OSTIA SST data, due to higher sea surface temperature of FNL. General distribution of RTG and OSTIA SST showed similar, however, fine spatial differences appear in near western coast of the peninsula. Estimated snow fall amount with OSTIA SST was occurred far from the western coast because of higher SST over sea far from coast than that near coast. On the other hand, snowfall amount near coast is larger than that over distance sea in simulation with RTG SST. The difference of snowfall amount between numerical assessment with RTG and OSTIA is induced from the fine difference of SST spatial distributions over the Yellow sea. So, the prediction accuracy of snowfall amount is strongly associated with the SST distribution not only over near coast but also over far from the western coast of the Korean peninsula.
