We measured the fugacity of $CO_2$ $(fCO_2)$, temperature, salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll a in the surface water of the western North Pacific $(4^{\circ}30'{\sim}33^{\circ}10'N,\;144^{\circ}20'{\sim}127^{\circ}35'E)$ in September 2002. There were zonally several major currents which have characteristics of specific temperature and salinity (NECC, North Equatorial Counter Current; NEC, North Equatorial Current; Kuroshio etc.). Surface $fCO_2$ distribution was clearly distinguished into two groups, tropical and subtropical areas of which boundary was $20^{\circ}N$. In the tropical Int surface $fCO_2$ was mainly controlled by temperature, while in the subtropical area, surface $fCO_2$ was dependent on total inorganic carbon contents. Air-sea $CO_2$ flux showed a large spatial variation, with a range of $-0.69{\sim}0.79 mmole\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$. In the area of AE (Anticyclonic Eddy), SM(Southern Mixed region) and NM (Northern Mixed region), the ocean acted as a weak source of $CO_2$ $(0.6{\sim}0.79 mmole\; m^{-2}day^{-1})$. In NECC, NEC, Kuroshio and ECS (East China Sea), however, the fluxes were estimated to be $-0.3mmole\; m^{-2}day^{-1})$ for the first three regions and $-1.2mmole\; m^{-2}day^{-1})$ for ECS respectively, indicating that these areas acted as sinks of $CO_2$. The average air-sea flux in the entire study area was $0.15mmole\;m^{-2}day^{-1})$, implying that the western North Pacific was a weak source of $CO_2$ during the study period.

A satellite tracked drifter experiment was conducted to observe thermal structure and surface circulation in the northeastern East China Sea. For this experiment, four ADOS buoys, assembled with surface float and thermister chain, were deployed on August 2007 in southern Jeju-do, where the Kuroshio Branch Current is separated from the main stream. Thermal structure in the upper layer of the northeastern East China Sea was successfully observed during the following $1{\sim}3$ months. Strong thermo-haline front in a northeast-southwest direction was observed. In the frontal zone, warm and saline Kuroshio origin water intermixes with fresher coastal water and flows toward the Korean Strait. Typhoon Nari, which passed over the East China Sea 20 days after commencement of study, caused distinct signals in the thermal structure and trajectory of buoys. During the typhoon, surface temperature abruptly dropped to about $4^{\circ}C$, while the thermocline formed at $30{\sim}50$ m depth vanished due to strong vertical mixing. Internal inertial oscillation occurred several days after the typhoon. The fortuitous occurrence of typhoon Nari showed that ADOS buoys can provide useful and accurate air-sea interaction data during typhoons.

본 연구에서는 동북아시아 NOAA AVHRR 위성관측 16년간(1990-2005) 해양표면 수온영상을 이용하여 에러 값 제거와 결측 자료 보완을 위하여 마르코프 계수를 결정하였고, 이 값에서 현재 수온평년 값을 더하여 구름 없는 해양표면수온 생성 기법을 제시하였다. 마르코프 연쇄 모델의 결과에 의하면, 마르코프 계수는 해류가 강한 쿠로시오 해역 등이 해류가 약한 동해 북서부의 대부분 해역과 동중국해보다 그 계수가 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 평균 수온의 변동은 봄과 가을이 겨울과 여름에 비하여 분산이 크게 나타났고, 계절별 일간 수온 차이도 수온의 계절적 변동이 큰 봄과 가을이 여름과 겨울에 비하여 큰 지역적인 차이를 보였다. 그 지역적인 분포는 봄과 가을의 경우 전 해역의 대륙 인접부에서 대부분 크게 나타났고, 동해 극전선 남부해역과 쿠로시오해역에서는 난류에 의한 열수송으로 일간 수온의 차이가 작았다.

西部 北太平洋에 있어서의 本種에 대한 地理分布와 垂直分布 및 晝夜垂直移動에 관한 知見은 극히 限定된 海域과 深度에 있어서의 報告가 있을 뿐이다. 筆者는 北緯 20度에서 47度에 이르는 東經 50度 以西의 西部 北太平洋과 이의 附屬海에 걸친 광범위한 調査를 통하여 本種의 地理分布에 관한 새로운 知見을 얻었다. 그 結果로 東支那海의 表層을 제외한 68地點에서 本種이 出現함으로써 浮游性 端脚類中에서도 唯一하게 西部 北太平洋 全域에 걸쳐 一樣하게 分布하고 있으며 季節的인 消長이 없음이 究明되었다. 한편 垂直的으로는 0 $\\sim$ 1,500m 以上에 分布하고 있으며 最深採集記錄은 定點 229 $(34^\\circ 44.3'N, 140^\\circ 04.4'E)$에서의 1,650 $\\sim$ 2,220m層에서 얻어졌다. 晝夜垂直移動의 類型을 보면 本種은 晝間에는 深層部에 分布하며 夜間에 表層部로 현저한 晝夜移動을 하고 있음을 밝혔다. 이 移動의 範圍는 100 $\\sim$ 200m에 달한다. 또한 黑潮域에서는 新潮域에 비하여 垂直分布의 深度가 얕으며 서로 垂直分布의 深度와 移動의 範圍가 다르다. 즉 黑潮域에서는 晝間 0 $\\sim$ 200m層에 夜間 100 $\\sim$ 300m層에 個體群의 中心이 分布하며 100m의 範圍로 垂直移動을 하는데 反하여 新潮域에서는 晝間 400 $\\sim$ 700m, 夜間 100 $\\sim$ 500m로 200m의 範圍로 移動한다. 이는 兩海域에 있어서의 個體群의 組成이 서로 다른데 起因되는 결과로 사료된다.

라디움(Ra) 동위원소 분포특성을 이용하여 동중국해와 남중국해 여름철 표층수의 해수의 조성을 밝히고자 하였다. 염분과 라디움 동위원소 방사능비($^{228}Ra/^{226}Ra$)의 분포는 동중국해와 남중국해에서 각기 쿠로시오 표층수와 장강 희석수, 쿠로시오 표층수와 연안 희석수의 두 단성분 해수의 단순혼합으로 설명하기에 적절하게 점진적으로 변화하는 분포양상을 나타냈다. 동중국해의 경우에 두 단성분 해수의 혼합은 Ra 동위원소비와 염분의 두 추적자로 각각 정량화가 가능하였는데, 결과를 비교해 보면 쿠로시오에 가까운 정점에서는 매우 비슷한 결과를 보였으나 대마난류가 분지된 이후부터는 차이가 커지기 시작하였다. 이러한 차이를 보이게 하는 가능한 요인으로 중층수와의 혼합이 지목되었다. 이 경우 염분과 Ra 동위원소비는 서로 반대방향으로 교란될 것으로 예상된다. 즉 염분은 저염수의 기여도를 과소평가하는 방향으로 반대로 Ra 동위원소비는 과대평가하게 되므로 두 결과값의 중간값이 실제에 가까울 것으로 판단되었다.

China Coastal Water (CCW) usually appears in the seas surrounding Jeju Island annually (June?October) and is very pronounced in August. The power spectrum density (PSD), sea level anomalies (SLAs), and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were found to peak annually and semiannually. The peaks at intervals of 80-, 60-, and 43-days are considered to be influenced by CCW and the Kuroshio Current. Generally, low-salinity water appears to the west of Jeju Island from June through October and gradually propagates to the east, where CCW meets the Tsushima Current. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of SLAs and SSTs indicated that the variance in SLAs and SSTs was 55.70 and 98.09% in the first mode, respectively. The PSD for the first mode of EOF analysis of SLAs was stronger in the western than in the eastern waters because of the influence of CCW. The PSD for the EOF analysis of SSTs was similar in all areas (the Yangtze Estuary and the waters to the west and east of Jeju Island), with a period of approximately 260 days.

A flow pattern and water exchange in Sagami Bay is examined using a barotropic hydraulic model. In the model experiments, the volume transports of the Kuroshio Through Flow were changed with time. The results of the model experiments show that when the volume transport is increased with time, water mass and vorticity are transferred to the inner part of the bay by wakes from the western part of the bay. In the case of decrease, as the wakes are ceased, the inner cyclonic circulation water is discharged to the outside of the bay by its southward extension through the Oshima eastern channel. It is found that the water exchange by the short-term variation of volume transport in time is about 20% of all the bay water.

In this study, steric height variability in the East Asian Seas (EAS) has been analyzed by using ocean reanalysis intercomparison project (ORA-IP) data. Results show that there are significant correlations between ocean reanalysis and satellite data except the phase of annual cycle and interannual signals of the Yellow Sea. Reanalysis ensemble derived from 15-different assimilation systems depicts higher correlation (0.706) than objective analysis ensemble (0.296) in the EAS. This correlation coefficient is also much higher than that of the global ocean (0.441). For the long-term variability of the thermosteric sea level during 1993-2010, a significant warming trend is found in the East/Japan Sea, while cooling trend is shown around the Kuroshio extension area. For the halosteric sea level, a dominant freshening trend is found in the EAS. However, below 300 m depth around this area, the signal-to-noise ratio of the linear trend is generally less than one, which is related to the low density of observation data.

We have been measuring the voltage differences by using submarine cables in the Tsushima and in the Tokara Straits. The aim of these measurements is to estimate the volume transports of the ocean currents through those straits. In this paper, the voltage differences are compared with the corresponding sea level and air pressure differences between straits. Especially in the Tsushima Strait, the voltage difference is consistent with the air pressure difference as well as the sea level difference.

This paper describes three cyclostomatous bryozoans belonging to the family Tubuliporidae Johnston, 1838 from Korean waters. It was carried out with the materials which were collected from three localities during the period from 2011 to 2017. As a result of the present study, three cyclostomatous bryozoans, Exidmonea intercalata Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019, Qingdaoella conaria Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019 and Tubulipora perforata Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019 are newly added to the Korean bryozoan fauna. Furthermore, two genera, Exidmonea David, Mongereau & Pouyet, 1972 and Qingdaoella Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019, are reported for the first time from Korea. These species were previously known only in Qingdao, China, which belongs to the temperate zone influenced by the Kuroshio Current. Descriptions and illustrations of the three cyclostomatous bryozoans using Scanning Electron Microscopy are provided in this study.
