북서 태평양에 순압모델을 적용하여 대마난류의 형성과 수송량을 살펴보았다. 모델결과는 대마난류가 대만 부근에서 형성되는 대만난류의 연장임을 보여주고 있다. 계절풍은 대마난류의 수송량 변화에는 그 영향이 미약하지만 대마난류의 유입경로에는 커다란 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 쿠로시오의 지류가 동지나해로 유입되는 경로가 남풍시는 주로 대만해협으로, 북풍시는 대만 동부를 통해 유입되는 것으로 나타난다.

In this study we investigated changes in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) under the global warming scenario RCP 4.5 by analysing the results from the World Climate Research Program's (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Among the four models that had been employed to analyse the Tsushima Warm Current during the 20th Century, in the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 and HadGEM2-CC models the transports of the Tsushima Warm Current were 2.8 Sv and 2.1 Sv, respectively, and comparable to observed transport, which is between 2.4 and 2.77 Sv. In the other two models the transports were much greater or smaller than the observed estimates. Using the two models that properly reproduced the transport of the Tsushima Warm Current we investigated the response of the current under the global warming scenario. In both models the volume transports and the temperature were greater in the future climate scenario. Warm advection into the East Sea was intensified to raise the temperature and consequently the heat loss to the air.

The major studies of an ocean circulation of the East/Japan Sea related to evaluate the feasibility and utilization of deep ocean water are reviewed. The major feature of surface current system of the East/Japan Sea is an inflow of the Tsushima Warm Current through the Korea/Tsushima Strait and the outflow through the Tsugaru and Soya Straits. The Tsushima Warm Current has been known to split into two or three branches in the southern region of the East/Japan Sea. In the cold water region of the East/Japan Sea, the North Korean Cold Current turns to the east near 39$^{\circ}$N after meeting the East Korean Warm Current, then flows eastward. The degree of penetration depends on the strength of the positive wind stress curl, according to the ventilation theory. Various current meter moorings indicate strong and oscillatory deep currents in various parts of the basin. According to some numerical experiments, these currents may be induced by pressure-topography or eddy-topography interaction. However, more investigations are needed to explain clearly the presence of these strong bottom currents. This study concludes the importance of topographical coupling, isopycnal outcropping, different wind forcing and the branching of the Tsushima Warm Current on the circulation of the East/Japan Sea.

A model of the current and seasonal volume transport in the East China Sea was used to investigate the origin of the Tsushima Warm Current (TSWC). The modeled volume transport field suggested that the current field west of Kyushu ($30^{\circ}-32^{\circ}N$) was divided into two regions, R1 and R2, according to the bottom depth. R1 consisted of the Taiwan Warm Current (TWWC) region and the mixed Kuroshio-TWWC (MKT) water region, while R2 was the modified Kuroshio water (MKW) region west of Kyushu. The MKW branched from the Kuroshio and flowed into the Korea/Tsushima Straits through the Cheju-Kyushu Strait, contributing 41% of the annual mean volume transport of the TSWC. The TWWC and MKT water flowed into the Korea/Tsushima Straits through the Cheju-Kyushu and Cheju Straits, contributing 32% and 27% of the volume transport, respectively. The maximum volume transport of the MKW was 53% of the total volume transport of the TSWC in November, while the maximum volume transport of the water in the R1 region through the Cheju-Kyushu Strait was 41% in July. Hence, there were two peaks per year of volume transport in the TSWC.

This study investigates the characteristic of the Tsushima Warm Current from an assimilated high resolution global ocean prediction model, $1/12^{\circ}$ Global HYbrid Coordiate Ocean Model (HYCOM). The model results were verified through a comparison with current measurements obtained by acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on the passenger ferryboat between Busan, Korea, and Hakata, Japan. The annual mean transport of the Tsushima Warm Current was 2.56 Sverdrup (Sv) (1 Sv = $10^6m^3s^{-1}$), which is similar to those from previous studies (Takikawa et al. 1999; Teague et al. 2002). The volume transport time series of the Tsushima Warm Current from HYCOM correlates to a high degree with that from the ADCP observation (the correlation coefficient between the two is 0.82). The spatiotemporal structures of the currents as well as temperature and salinity from HYCOM are comparable to the observed ones.

A significant surface net heat loss appears around the Kuroshio and the Tsushima Warm Current regions. The area where the surface heat loss occurs should require heat to be supplied by the current to maintain the long-term annual heat balance. Oceanic heat advection in these regions plays an important role in the heat budget. The spatial distribution of the heat supply by the Tsushima Warm Current near the surface was examined by calculating the horizontal heat supply in the surface layer of the East/Japan Sea, directly from historical sea surface temperature and current data. We have also found a simple estimation of the effective vertical scale of heat supply by the current to compensate net heat loss using the heat supplied by the current in the surface 10m layer. The heat supplied by the current for the annual heat balance was large in the Korea/Tsushima Strait and along the Japanese Coast, and was small in the northwestern part of the East/Japan Sea. The amount of heat supplied by the current was large in the northwestern part and small in the southeastern part of the East/Japan Sea. These features suggest that the heat supplied by the Tsushima Warm Current is restricted to near the surface around the northeastern part and extends to a deeper layer around the southeastern part of the East/Japan Sea.

본 연구에서는 순압모델을 이용하여 대마난류(Tsushima Warm Current)의 분기기작 및 계절별 분기위치의 변화에 바람이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 모델 격자간격은 위도와 경로방향 모두 0.25$^{\circ}$로 하였고 해수표면에 적용한 계절별 바람응력은 Hellerman and Rosenstein(1983)의 바람을 이용하였다. 모델결과에 의하면 대마난류는 북풍계열의 바람이 강한 동계(10월-3월)에는 일론 큐슈 남서쪽 대륙사면에서 쿠로시오로부터 직접 분기되어 형성되며, 하계(4월-9월)에는 대만해협(Taiwan Strait)을 통해 유입된 대만난류가 대마난류의 기원으로 나타난다. 쿠로시오는 동계에 최대 수송량을 가지며 하계에 최소를 보이고, 대만난류(Taiwan Current)의 수송량은 이러한 쿠로시오와 약 160도의 위상차를 갖는다. 대마난류의 수송량 변화는 쿠로시오의 변화와 120$^{\circ}$의 위상차(약 4개월)를 가질 때 잘 일치한다.

We conducted a time-series analysis of temperature and salinity of sea water around Jeju Island, Korea. Monthly mean temperature and salinity was influenced by precipitation and weather conditions on Jeju as well as by oceanographic conditions of the open sea such as the Tsushima Warm Current and sea water in coastal areas. Salinity of Jeju coastal waters was the highest in April, and it was always over 34.00 psu with tiny fluctuation between December and June. Due to the effects of the Tsushima Warm Current, Jeju coastal waters maintained high salinity and stability. Low salinity and its large fluctuations during summer were closely associated with the China Coastal Water and precipitation in Jeju. The place of the lowest water temperature was the northeast coasts of Jeju (Gimneong, Hado, Jongdalri). In winter, as warmer water of the Tsushima Warm Current appeared in western area of Jeju dwindled flowing along the northern coasts of Jeju area and becoming cool, the lowest water temperature often appeared locally in Gimnyeong and its vicinitly in summer. The Tsushima Warm Current flows into the east entrance of Jeju Strait, but its influence is weak because of geometry and strong vertical mixing due to fast tidal currents.

1982년 여름에 실시된 해양관측자료에 의하면 대마난류의 흐름은 한국해협 서수도에서 70cm/sec 이상의 강한 표면유속을 갖는 두 개의 분지 형태를 보였다. 부산에서 약 8km 부근에 나타나는 동한 난류로 불리우는 한 개의 분지는 한국 동해안을 따라 북쪽으로 흐르며, 부산으로부터 약 20km 떨어져 나타난 제2분지는 한국해협 통과 후 동쪽으로 향한다. 두 개의 흐름으로 분기되는 현상은 대마난류가 부산-대마도 단면에 이르기 이전에 형성되며, 두 분지의 용적 수송량 및 흐름의 폭은 큰 차이를 보이지 않는다. 분지의 갯수는 서수도의 폭에 의해 좌우되는 듯 하며, 두 분지의 흐름은 층두께의 변화와 서수도와 동해의 폭의 비율과 관련되는 것으로 보인다.

포텐셜와도는 해류의 순환을 설명하는데 유용하게 활용된다. 동해에서 포텐셜와도의 분포 특성을 이용하여 쓰시마난류를 포함한 상층부의 해류순환을 설명하였다. 상층부를 표층부분과 쓰시마난류의 분포 층 그리고 수온약층 분포 수층으로 구분하였다. 극전선남쪽은 쓰시마난류가 해류순환의 중심을 형성하며, 포텐셜와도는 쓰시마난류와 극전선의 분포 특성을 잘 나타내어준다. 포텐셜와도의 분포로부터, 극전선 북쪽은 일본 분지와 그 서쪽해역의 순환 세포로 구분된다.
