SAR has provided weather independent images on land and sea surface, which can be used for extracting various useful informations. Recently attempts to estimate wind field parameters from SAR images over the oceans have been made by various groups over the world. Although scatterometer loaded in ERS-1 and ERS-2 observes the global wind vector field at spatial resolution of 50 Km with accuracies of $\pm$2m/s in speed, the spatial resolution may not be good enough for applications in coastal regions. It is weil known the sea surface roughness is closely correlated to the wind field, but the wind retrieval algorithms from SAR images are yet in developing stage. Since the radar backscattering properties of the SAR images are principally the same as that of scatterometer, some previous studies conducted by other groups report the success in mesoscale coastal wind field retrievals using ERS SAR images. We have tested SWA (SAR Wind Algorithm) and CMOD4 model for estimation of wind speed using an ERS-1 SAR image acquired near Cheju Island, Korea, in October 11, 1994. The precise estimation of sigma nought and the direction of wind are required for applying the CMOD4 model to estimate wind speed. The wind speed in the test sub-image is estimated to be about 10.5m/s, which relatively well agrees to the observed wind speed about 9.0m/s at Seoguipo station. The wind speed estimation through the SWA is slightly higher than that of CMOD4 model. The sea surface condition may be favorable to SWA on the specific date. Since the CMOD4 model requires either wind direction or wind speed to retrieve the wind field, we should estimate the wind speed first using other algorithm including SWA. So far, it is not conclusive if the SWA can be used to provide input wind speed data for CMOD4 model or not. Since it is only initial stage of implementing the wind field retrieval algorithms and no in-situ observed data is currently avaliable, we are not able to evaluate the accuracy of the results at the moment. Therefore verification studies should be followed in the future to extract reliable wind field information in the coastal region using ERS SAR images.

The surface circulation of northern South China Sea (hereafter SCS) for the period 1987-2005 was studied using the data of more than 500 satellite-tracked drifters and wind data from QuikSCAT. The mean flow directions in the northern SCS except the Luzon Strait (here after LS) during the periods October_March was southwestward, and $April{\sim}September$ northeastward. A strong northwestward intrusion of the Kuroshio through the LS appears during the $October{\sim}March$ period of northeasterly wind, but the intrusion became weak between April and September. When the strong intrusion occurred, the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the LS was $388cm^2/s^2$ which was almost 2 times higher than that during the weak-intrusion season. The volume transport of the Kuroshio in the east of the Philippines shows an inverse relationship to that of the LS. There is a six-month phase shift between the two seasonal phenomena. The volume transport in the east of the Philippines shows its peak sis-month earlier faster than that of the LS. The strong Kuroshio intrusion is found to be also related to the seasonal variation of the wind stress curl generated by the north easterly wind. The negative wind stress curl in the northern part of LS induces an anticyclonic flow, while the positive wind stress curl in the southern part of LS induces a cyclonic flow. The northwestward Kuroshio intrusion in the northern part of LS happened with larger negative wind stress curl, while the westward intrusion along $20.5^{\circ}N$ in the center of the LS occurred with weaker negative wind stress curl.

Numerical simulations were carried out to understand the effect of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) spatial distribution on regional circulation. A three-dimensional non-hydrostatic atmospheric model RAMS, version 6.0, was applied to examine the impact of SST forcing on regional circulation. New Generation Sea Surface Temperature (NGSST) data were implemented to RAMS to compare the results of modeling with default SST data. Several numerical experiments have been undertaken to evaluate the effect of SST for initialization. First was the case with NGSST data (Case NG), second was the case with RAMS monthly data (Case RM) and third was the case with seasonally averaged RAMS monthly data (Case RS). Case NG showed accurate spatial distributions of SST but, the results of RM and RS were $3{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ lower than buoy observation data. By analyzing practical sea surface conditions, large difference in horizontal temperature and wind field for each run were revealed. Case RM and Case RS showed similar horizontal and vertical distributions of temperature and wind field but, Case NG estimated the intensity of sea breeze weakly and land breeze strongly. These differences were due to the difference of the temperature gradient caused by different spatial distributions of SST. Diurnal variations of temperature and wind speed for Case NG indicated great agreement with the observation data and statistics such as root mean squared error, index of agreement, regression were also better than Case RM and Case RS.

SAR의 마이크로파를 이용하면 악 기상환경 및 주야간에도 해양의 관측이 가능하다. SAR의 해양표면에 대한 영상은 표면바람장과 관련된 대기적 현상에 관한 많은 정보를 가지고 있다. SAR로부터 추출되는 풍속의 정보는 다양하게 이용된다. SAR 영상으로부터 해상풍을 산출하기 위해서는 바람산출모델에 SAR 영상으로부터 추출한 풍향 자료와 후방산란계수 값을 입력하여 풍속을 산출한다. SAR 영상으로부터 구한 파향 스펙트럼은 항상 파향에 있어서 $180^{\circ}$의 상반된 두 정점을 보여주는데 이는 영상에 적용한 2차원 FFT의 결과이다. 파향에 있어서의 이러한 모호성은 육지의 위치라든지, 바람의 방향 혹은 수치모델 결과 등을 이용하여 결정하여야 한다. 이전에는 ENV14.0 을 이용해서 RadarSat-1 SAR 영상으로부터 DN 값을 추출한 후 다시 SN(Sigma Nought)으로 변환하는 것은 각각의 파일들을 수동적으로 처리를 해야 했기 때문에 많은 시간이 들었다. 이러한 수동적인 작업을 프로그램을 작성해서 SN(Sigma Nought) 값으로 변환을 하였다. 그 후 SN(Sigma Nought)로부터 풍향을 산출하는 과정에 있으며, 현재 풍향은 $180^{\circ}$의 모호성을 갖고 있기 때문에 좀 더 연구가 필요한 상황이다.

Northern Arabian Sea (NAS) between $17^{\circ}N-20.5^{\circ}N$ and $59^{\circ}E-69^{\circ}E$ was observed by using Argo float daily data fur about 9 months, from April 2002 through December 2002. Results showed that during April - May mixed layer shoaled due to light winds, clear sky and intense solar insolation. Sea surface temperature (SST) rose by $2.3^{\circ}C$ and ocean gained an average of 99.8 $Wm^{-2}$. Mixed layer reached maximum depth of about 71 m during June - September owing to strong winds and cloudy skies. Ocean gained abnormally low $\sim18Wm^{-2}$ and SST dropped by $3.4^{\circ}C$. During the inter monsoon period, October, mixed layer shoaled and maintained a depth of 20 to 30 m. November - December was accompanied by moderate winds, dropping of SST by $1.5^{\circ}C$ and ocean lost an average of 52.5 $Wm^{-2}$. Mixed layer deepened gradually reaching a maximum of 62 m in December. Analysis of surface fluxes and winds suggested that winds and fluxes are the dominating factors causing deepening of mixed layer during summer and winter monsoon periods respectively. Relatively big]h correlation between MLD, net heat flux and wind speed revealed that short term variability of MLD coincided well with short term variability of surface forcing.

Development of diurnal warming in the open Okhotsk Sea during the daytime and calm conditions was studied using sea surface temperature (SST) fields retrieved from NOAA AVHRR, Terra and Aqua MODIS, Aqua AMSR-E and ADEOS-II AMSR data. Sea surface wind fields were estimated from AMSR-E/AMSR measurements as well as were obtained from QuikSCAT scatterometer. Weak winds and cloudless conditions were observed in the central area of anticyclone, which moved slowly on 28-30 June 2003 east off Sakhalin. The area where the amplitude of the diurnal SST signal ${\Delta}T$ was significant also shifted slowly and had or circular or elongated shape. The ${\Delta}T$ was estimated relative to the SST values in the areas surrounding the centre of anticyclone where wind speed W exceeded 5- 6 m/s. The diurnal variations of SST, day-night differences were computed using NOAA-12 and NOAA-16 AVHRRderived data. Analysis of simultaneous SST and W fields showed that the increase of W from 0 to 5-6 m/s causes the decrease of ${\Delta}T$ to zero. Maximum warming exceeded $8^{\circ}C$ and was observed in the centre of anticyclone where W = 0 m/s. So strong heating was likely due to the increased chlorophyll a concentration in the area under study that follows from analysis of satellite ocean colour data.

We would like to investigate the strong wind phenomenon effecting to the onset of a sea breeze. It is general the fact that the onset time of a sea breeze is mainly affected according to the distance from the coastline but we find the reversal fact. The onset time at Suyoung is faster than that at Haeundae in spite of the observation site of Suyoung is 5 m and that of Haeundae is 1 km away from the coastline. This is the reason that the nighttime air is converged the lower area by surface cooling and then it is strongly drained onto the lowest area, Suyoung river until the sunrise. it is proved by observation data at Suyoung and Haeundae.

한반도 주변해역에서 의 해면 열속과 응력의 분포를 김과 강(1994)의 지표층 flux 모델을 사용하여 구하였고 이들의 계절변화를 조사하였다. 모델의 입력자료는 유럽중 기기상예보소 (ECMWF)의 1000mb 온도, 비습, 지오포텐샬고도와 미국기상청(NMC)의 해 수면온도 자료를 사용하였다. 자료의 공간해상도는 위도, 경도 2도이며 기간은 1984년 부터 87년까지의 3년이다. 한편, 해면의 단파복사량은 미국항공우주국 (NASA)의 인공 위성 자료를 사용하였고 잔파복사량은 경험식을 사용하여 구하였다. 모든 열속을 합한 순열속을 한반도 주변해역에서 보면, 1월과 10월에 각각 200∼400 Wm/SUP -2/와 100 Wm/SUP -2/로 해양이 냉각되고 4월과 7월에는 약 100 Wm/SUP -2/로 가열되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 연평균 순열속은 황해 북부를 제외한 전해역에서 음의 값이 나타나 고 있다. 가장 큰 냉각이 일어나는 해역은 쿠로시오 해역으로 이 지역의 연평균 값은 약 120 Wm/SUP -2/이다. 동해에서는 북부와 남부해역에서 60∼80 Wm/SUP -2/의 냉각이 일어나며 중부해역에서는 비교적 적은 30 Wm/SUP -2/ 정도의 냉각이 일어나고 있다. 한편, 1월의 응력 크기는 다른 달에 대하여 3∼5배 정도 크게 나타나고 이에 따라 연 평균응력의 분포는 1월의 형태와 유사하다. 연평균 응력컬은 동지나해와 남해에서 음 의 값이 나타나지만 황해 북부에서는 양의 값을 보인다. 동해의 응력컬은 북부와 남동 해역에서 양의 값이 그리고 북서해역에서는 음의 값이 나타나고 있다.

In microwave remote sensing, the Fresnel reflectance formula is widely used in the sea surface emissivity modeling. As an essential contribution to microwave remote sensing, a new formula on the Fresnel reflectance has been derived based on our understanding of the complex index of refraction and continuity condition of E-M waves at the interface between two mediums. The proposed formula can be used to obtain the emissivity of sea surface, which is useful to retrieve sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and the brightness temperature. Considering Bragg-resonant scatter, it is useful for the calculation of the normalized radar cross-section, and the retrieval of sea surface wind either.
