한반도 주변에 분포하는 수괴와 해수순화에 관하여 지금 까지 알려져있는 사실들 을 토대로 하여 이를 요약 정리하였고 물리적 관점에서 이에 대하여 간략히 논의하였 다. 한반도 주변의 해황(수괴와 해수순환)은 해역의 남쪽 경계인 쿠로시오수로부터 분 리유입된 대마난류에 의해 지배되나 담수유입, 바람, 대기와의 열교환등에 의해 크게 변형된다. 남서해에서 대마난류수의 확장 한계는 일차적으로 대만북측과 제주도를 연 결하는 선으로 볼 수 있으나 여름철에는 외해로 확장하는 양자강수의 영향을 많이 받 고 겨울철에는 강한 북서계절풍에 의해 난류수의 황해유입이 유발되는 것이 특징이라 할 수 있다. 동해에서 대마난류수는 한국 동안 (약 37-38$^{\circ}$N 부근)에서 일본 북부의 Tsugaru, Soya 해협을 연결하는 선 이남에 국한된다고 대체적으로 볼 수 있으나 겨울 철의 북서 계절풍 표면냉각 등에 의해 표층은 물론 심층까지 영향을 받을 가능성이 매 우 크다. 그러나 한반도 주변 해황에 대한 이해는 아직도 크게 부족하여 해결되어야 할 문제점들이 많이 남아 있어서 이를 간략히 열거해 보았으며 이에 대한 몇 가지 사 견도 제시하였다.

Oceanographic observation and qualitative analysis for deep ocean water in the East Sea were carried out from January 2003 to January 2004, in order to understand the characteristics of deep sea water in the East Sea. Temporal and spatial variation of water masses were discussed from survey of the study area including the coastal sea of Kwangwon province in where the polar front mixing cold and warm water masses were formed. On the basis of the vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen, water masses in the study area were divided into 5 major groups; (1) Low Saline Surface Water (LSSW) (2) Tsushima Surface water (TSW) (3) Tsushima Middle Water (TMW) (4) North Korea Cold Water (NKCW) and (5) East Sea Proper Water (ESPW). In winter, surface water in coastal sea of Kwangwaan Kosung region were dominated by North Korean Cold Water (NKCW). As Tsushima warm current were enforced in summer, various water masses were vertically emerged in study area, in order of TSW, TMW, NKCW and ESPW. It is highly possible that the LSSW which occurred at surface water of september is originated from influx of fresh water due to the seasonal rainy spell. Nevertheless water masses existed within surface water were seasonally varied, water quality characteristics of East Sea Proper Water (ESPW) under 300 m did not changed all the seasons of the year.

Using results from an earth system model, the distribution of partial pressure of $CO_2$ ($pCO_2$) in surface seawater over the East China Sea is investigated. In this area $pCO_2$ shows minimum along the edge of the continental break along the path of the Taiwan-Tsushima Current System. Apparently modelled chlorophyll is also great along the current but the maximum of the chlorophyll and the minimum of $pCO_2$ do not coincide suggesting that the primary production is not the main cause of the $pCO_2$ minimum. As we move toward the Yellow Sea from the Kuroshio area the temperature decreases so that the $pCO_2$ becomes smaller. If we move further toward the Yellow Sea beyond the Taiwan-Tsushima Current System, alkalinity starts to drop substantially to intensify $pCO_2$ while overcoming the effect of decreasing temperature and salinity. Thus $pCO_2$ minimum occurs along the Taiwan-Tsushima Current System. Of course, the primary production lower $pCO_2$ during spring when it is high but the effect is local. Near the Yangtze river mouth and northeastern corner of the Yellow Sea the fresh water input is large enough and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) becomes low enough so that $pCO_2$ becomes lower again.

대마해류는 큐슈 서쪽해역에서 갈라져 대한해협으로 북상하여 흐르는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 이럴 경우 해류는 등수심선을 가로질러야 하며 이를 위해 어떤 힘이 필요하다. 그러한 힘으로는, 대한해협과 쯔가루해협 사이의 해수면의 차이, Reynolds Stress, 밀도차이 등에 제시되어져 왔다. 이 논문에서는 순압인 경우에 이들의 역할을 수치모델을 사용하여 연구해 보았다. 모델 결과는 대마해류가 위의 어떠한 힘이 없이도 발생한다는 것을 보였다. 해류는 동중국해에서 등수심선을 따라 흐르며, 해류흐름은 외부의 힘에 의해서가 아니라 자신의 역학에 의해 발생하는 것으로 보인다. 그 역학은 육지에 의한 틈새(gap) 사이로 유출되는 흐름에서와 같다. 모델결과는 또한 이 해역의 해류가 Reynolds Stress와 같은 외부의 힘에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다는 것을 보여 주며, 그럴 경우 실제 해양에서는 해류의 역학과 형태가 복잡하게 나타날 가능성이 있다. 그러나 순압모델 결과는 대마해류가 기본적으로는 지형균형(geostrophic adjustment)에 의한 것임을 보여준다.

Based on the five-year (October 1992 through September 1997) Topex/Poseidon altimeter measurements, we describe the statistical characteristics of the eddy variability in the East Sea in terms of sea surface height anomaly, slope variability, and eddy kinetic energy (EKE). The sea surface height anomalies in the East Sea are produced with standard corrections from Topex/Poseidon measurements. In order to eliminate the high frequency noise in the sea surface height anomaly data, the alongtrack height anomaly data was filtered by about 40 km low-pass Lanczos filter based on Strub et al. (1997) and Kelly et a1. (1998). We find that there exists a distinct spatial contrast of high eddy variability in the south and low eddy energy in the north, bordering the Polar Front. In the northwestern area $(north\;of\;39^{\circ}N\;and\;west\;of\;133^{\circ}E)$ from the Polar Front where the eddies frequently appear, the EKE is also considerabel. The high kinetic energy in the southern East Sea reveals a close connection with the paths of the Tsushima Warm Current, suggesting that the high variability in the south is mainly generated by the baroclinic instability process of the Tsushima Warm Current. This finding is supported by other studies (Fu and Zlontnicki, 1989; Stammer, 1997) wh.ch have shown the strong eddy energy coupled in the major current system. The monthly variation of the EKE in both areas of high and low eddy variability shows a strong seasonality of a high eddy kinetic energy from October to February and a relatively low one from March to September. The sequential pattern of wind stress curl shows resemblance with those of monthly and seasonal EKE and the two sequences have a correlation of 0.82 and 0.67, respectively, providing an evidence that wind stress curl can be the possible forcing for the monthly and seasonal variation of the EKE in the East Sea. The seasonality of the EKE also seems to correlate with the seasonality of the Tsushima Warm Current. There also exists the large spatial and interannual variabilities in the EKE.

We investigated the distribution and species composition of zooplankton in relation to hydrographical characteristics in the Korea Strait during the winter (February) and summer (July) of 2009. Satellite images of sea surface temperatures and in situ CTD data showed that the southeastern water zone (St3-5) off Jeju Island was strongly influenced by the Tsushima Current during both the winter and summer, whereas the Changjiang Diluted Water, characterized as water with relatively low salinity, was evident in the coastal waters of Jeju Island during the summer. During winter, zooplankton abundance was significantly higher than in the summer, with dominance by copepods, ostracods, siphonophorans, appendicularians, and nauplii. In both seasons, copepods represented >70% of the total zooplankton population. Calanus sinicus, a large calanoid copepod, was dominant in near the coast, and that may be associated with the intrusion of low salinity water (i.e., the Changjiang Diluted Water) along the coast. The abundance of P. parvus s.l. and A. omorii, known as neritic copepods, was mainly associated with the Korea Southern Coastal Water. Foraminiferans, Ostracods, O. plumifera, and P. aculeatus were concentrated in the southeastern water off Jeju Island during both seasons; showing their association with the Tsushima Current, which is characterized warm, high salinity water. Our results suggest that the distribution, abundance, and species composition of zooplankton are highly influenced by different water masses in the Korea Strait.

Complex physical, chemical and biological interactions off the Korean coast created several striking patterns in the phytoplankton blooms, which became conspicuous during the measurements of ocean color from space. This study concentrated on analyzing the spatial and temporal aspects of phytoplankton chlorophyll variability in these areas using an integrated dataset from a Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Advanced Very High Resolution (AVHRR) sensor, and Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) sensor. The results showed that chlorophyll concentrations were elevated in coastal and open ocean regions, with strong summer and fall blooms, which appeared to spread out in most of the enclosed bays and neighboring waters due to certain oceanographic processes. The chlorophyll concentration was observed to range between 3 and $54\;mg\;m^{-3}$ inside Jin-hae Bay and adjacent coastal bays and 0.5 and $8\;mg\;m^{-3}$ in the southeast sea offshore waters, this gradual decrease towards oceanic waters suggested physical transports of phytoplankton blooms from the shallow shelves to slope waters through the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) along the Tsushima Strait. Horizontal distribution of potential temperature $(\theta)$ and salinity (S) of water off the southeastern coast exhibited cold and low saline surface water $(\theta and warm and high saline subsurface water $({\theta}>12^{\circ}C; S>34.4)$ at 75dBar, corroborating TWC intrusion along the Tsushima Strait. An eastward branch of this current was called the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC), tracked with the help of CTD data and satellite-derived sea surface temperature, which often influenced the dynamics of mesoscale anticyclonic eddy fields off the Korean east coast during the summer season. The process of such mesoscale anticyclonic eddy features might have produced interior upwelling that could have shoaled and steepened the nutricline, enhancing phytoplankton population by advection or diffusion of nutrients in the vicinity of Ulleungdo in the East Sea.

1970∼1979년 기간중 하계의 동해에 있어서 대마난류의 북상한계와 연변동을 규명하기 위해서 염분최대를 추적하고, 이값에 대한 deltaT(thermosteric anomaly) 에 관하여 검토했다. 29 N 이북의 동지나해로부터 동해북부해역에 이르기 까지 대마난류의 염분최대치 및 그 층의 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 그 층도 얕아졌다. 동해의 대마난류역에서 염분최대가 나타나는 층에 대한 deltaT의 값은 220-260 cl/t 이었다. 240cl/t면상의 34.4 등염선을 지표로하여 조사한 대마난류의 북상한계 는 한국 동해안측에서는 4 N 이남해역으로 한정으며, 동염선은 두가지 형태로 나타났다. 즉 동서방향인한국동해안쪽으로 치우쳐 북상하는 경우와 남남서-북북동 방향인 일본연안쪽으로 북상하는 경우였다.
