This work investigates the relationship between the sea breeze circulation and ozone concentrations during cold water events in the southeastern coastal area of the Korean Peninsula, where coastal upwelling frequently occur. This analysis was performed based on the classification of two categories, such as cold water and non-cold water events, over the period of 2000-2009. The low air temperature ($0.5^{\circ}C$), low SST ($5^{\circ}C$) and the wind direction(southerly) are the features of the cold water events in the Southeastern coastal area. Moreover, ozone concentrations in the cases of the sea breeze circulation and cold water events were significantly lower (below 30 ppb) than those (70~100 ppb) in the non-clod water events, because of the low air temperature ($10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$) and high wind speed (3~5 m/s) around the southeastern coastal area.

$^{14}$C uptake experiments were carried out in and around the cold water mass in the southern part of the Korean East Sea in August and October 1995 to assess spatial and seasonal variability of primary productivity and its relation to physical and chemical factors. The cold and high saline water mass in the bottom layer extended upward to the surface layer and developed along the eastern coast of Korea in August. Chlorophyll-a concentration was maintained high in the cold water mass through August to October and its maximum concentration was 6.3 ${\mu}$g 1$^{-1}$ at Stn. 209-4 in August. Primary productivity and daily primary productivity ranged from 0.29 to 8.02 mgC m$^{-3}$ hr$^{-1}$ and from 58.3 to 63.1 mgC m$^{-2}$ d$^{-1}$, respectively, throughout the study period. Primary productivity of the cold water mass was higher than that of offshore waters in both summer and autumn seasons. P$_{max}$ and I$_{max}$ of the cold water mass in August were higher than those in October, except Stn. 208-5. These results suggest that high primary productivity in the cold water mass may be established by the upwelled nutrients and light adaptaion to convected phytoplankton due to upwelling of the bottom waters.

해수면과 연안표층수온의 기록으로부터 바람에 의한 용승효과를 확인하기 위해서 1973년 부터 1979년까지의 자료들이 이용되었다. 하계에 남동해안에 평행한 바람이 우세하며 울기-감포 근해에서 용승을 일으키는 것으로 나타났는데 강한 남서풍이 3일 이상지속될 때 해수면과 표층수온이 감소하는 용승효과가 현저하게 나타났다. 평균적으로 한 번의 용승은 약10일동안 지속 되었고 그 동안에 해안에 평행안 성분의 평균풍속은 약 4.0m/sec였다.

동해 연안에서 장기간 관측한 일일 수온과 바람자료간 상관분석과 NOAA 위성의 영상표면수온자료를 이용하여 하계 동해연안 냉수대의 시공간적 변동특성을 구명하였다. 울릉도 연안수은의 계절변화는 동해 인접 연안수온의 변동과 무관하게 생각되나, 하계 동해연안에 나타난 냉수대가 외해역으로 확장되어 울룽도 연안수온에 영향을 미칠 수도 있는 특이한 해양현상을 NOAA 위성 측정 수온과 현장 연안수온 변화로 알게 되었다. 하계 냉수대 발생시 동해연안과 울릉도간 해역에 평년보다 강한 수온약층이 형성되고, 강한 남풍계열의 바람이 지속적으로 이 해역에 영향을 미칠 때 이와 같은 현상이 발생될 수 있을 것으로 추정된다. 하계 동해연안에 나타난 냉수대는 지금까지 주로 연구된 기장-울기-감포연안 뿐만 아니라 동해 남부연안에서 북부연안까지인 서이말, 기장, 울기, 감포, 포항, 영덕, 죽변, 주문진, 속초연안에서도 출현빈도가 높게 나타난다. 동해연안에서 냉수대 출현, 소멸과 관련하여 연안역간 수온변동의 상관성은 동해 북부의 경우 매우 인접한 연안역간에 높은 관계성을, 동해 중부의 경우 비교적 넓은 공간의 연안역에 걸쳐 높은 상관 (상관계수 0.5 이상)을 가졌다. 동해남부의 경우, 거제도의 서이말 연안부터 포항일대까지의 연안역간에도 상관성이 비교적 높게 나타났는데 (상관계수 0.5 이상), 냉수대 발생시 동해남부 남단에 위치한 거제도의 서이말 연안수온은 인접한 부산과 기장 연안 수온의 변동관계성보다 약 120km 떨어져 있는 울기 연안의 수온 변동과 높은 상관성 (상관계수 0.7)을 보이는 원거리 연결(teleconnection)현상을 발견할 수 있었다. 지금까지 하계의 풍향, 풍속 등의 조건이 중층의 냉수를 용승 시켜 연안의 표면에 냉수출현을 가져다주며 냉수대의 출현 빈도와 강세 등 시공간적 변동양상을 결정하는 것 같은 다수의 연구 결과가 있으나, 가장 주된 냉수대 출현의 요인은 전체 해양 수괴가 평년에 비해 뚜렷한 저수온 현상을 보이는 해황 조건이라고 사료된다. 또한 $1^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C$ 등의 등온선 분포수심이 외해역의 깊은 수심에서 연안역의 얕은 표면까지 급경사로 올라오는 기울기의 정도에도 밀접한 관계가 있다고 사료된다. 바람의 방향과 세기는 상기의 조건을 만족하는 해황에서 다만 부수적인 냉수대 출현, 변동의 요인이 될 수 있겠다. 향후 하계 동해연안 냉수변동과 밀접한 관련성을 갖는 동해 해황의 뚜렷한 저수온 현상 원인 규명을 위해서는, 동해 전해역에 걸친 광역 및 장기적 수온변동의 기작 구명과 변동주기의 정량화에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 하겠다.

본 연구에서는 하계 냉수대 발생과 관련하여 2007년 6월과 8월의 현장 및 위성에서 관측한 NOAA 해양표면수온과 SeaWiFS 해색 영상 및 QuikScat 자료를 이용하여 동해 남부해역의 수온과 클로로필 a 농도의 단기 변동과 바람을 살펴보았다. 특히, 동한난류 해역의 수온과 Chl-a의 공간적인 분포에 주목하였다. 현장관측 자료의 분석 결과, 울산 부근의 연안용승이 발생 이전인 6월의 클로로필 a 농도의 피크는 전체 조사 정점에서 50m 층에 보였고, 8월의 그 피크는 육지에 근접한 정점 4와 5에서는 10m 그리고 그 외 정점은 30m 층에 나타났지만 정점 5를 제외하고 그 농도는 6월보다 낮게 나타났다. 결과적으로, 클로로필 a 농도의 피크는 농도 차이는 있지만 8월이 6월보다 20-40m 얕은 층에 형성되었고, 이것은 남풍계열의 바람에 의한 연안용승으로 하부층의 영양염 공급 등과 관계하는 것 같다. 위성관측 수온과 클로로필 a 농도는 음의 상관관계를 보였고, 냉수가 발생한 곳에서 클로로필 a 농도는 고농도를 나타내었다. 또한, 남풍계열의 바람에 의한 영향과 동한난류의 이안은 연안에서 발생한 냉수와 Chl-a 등을 외해로 이동시키는 역할을 하였다.

Cochlodinium polykrikoides bloom in 1995 was studied with a focus on an unusual coastal environment in the South Sea of Korea. Data on temperature, salinity, and zooplankton biomass during 1965-1998 and nutrients during 1990-1998 and chlorophyll-a during 1995-1998 were used in this study. These data were obtained from the serial oceanographic observations in Korean waters carried out by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. In 1995 the C. polykrikoides bloom began in the coastal area around Narodo Island in August and consequently occurred to the whole coastal area of the South and East Seas of Korea. During June-October 1995, the coastal environment was unusual compared with the long-term means during 1965-1998. In June 1995, sea surface temperature was 1-2$^{\circ}C$ warmer than in other years in all coastal areas, while salinity was high only to the east of Jeju Island. In August 1995, a strong coastal front appeared inshore of a line between Jeju and Tsushima Islands. In particular, a strong coastal front which showed the characteristics of upwelling front occurred in the coastal area around Narodo and Sorido Islands, not only because of a strong intrusion of the Tsushima Warm Current but also because of the upwelling of cold bottom water. Salinity was low in the neighboring waters of western side of Jeju Island. Nutrients and chlorophyll-a were high in the inshore area between Narodo and Sorido Islands in 1995 in contrast with the other years and areas. Zooplankton showed an unusually high abundance in the coastal area in October 1995. We conclude that the Tsushima Warm Current strongly influenced the South Sea of Korea in 1995 and created strong upwelling front bordering cold upwelled water in the coastal area around Narodo and Sorido Islands. It leads us that these physical structures introduce the favorable environment for the development of C. polykrikoides blooms. We suggest that C. polykrikoides has a bio-physical tolerance of high shear and stress and prefers frontal and upwelling relaxed areas as its habitat. We also find that nutrients were not supplied to the coastal area from the offshore where a low salinity water mass with high nutrients appeared around Jeju Island. Because the strong upwelling front protect the reach of offshore low saline water mass. The main source of nutrients was the upwelled water mass in the coastal area of Wando-Narodo-Sorido.

While typhoons were passing by the coastal and offshore waters around the Korean peninsula, the variations of the sea surface temperature (SST) were studied. To study on the variation, the data related to the 22 typhoons among 346 typhoons which occurred in the western Pacific during 1990∼1999, daily measured field SSTs at coastal and offshore, and imageries from advanced very high resolution radiometer on NOAA satellite during 1990∼1999 were used. The average variations of the SSTs were -0.9℃ at coastal waters and -2℃ at offshore around the Korean peninsula while the typhoons were passing by. In very near coastal waters from the land, the SST was not changed because the bottom depth of the coastal waters was shallower than the depth of thermalcline, while the typhoon was passing. The temporal and spatial variation of SSTs at coastal waters in summer were depended on the various types of the typhoons＇paths which were passing through the Korean peninsula. When a typhoon passed by the western parts including the Yellow Sea of the Korean peninsula upwelling cold water occurred along the eastern coastal waters of the peninsula. The reason was estimated with the typhoon that was as very strong wind which blew from south toward north direction along the eastern shore of the peninsula, led to the Ekman transport from near the eastern coastal area toward the offshore. While cold water was occurring in the eastern coast, a typhoon passed over the coastal area, the cold water disappeared. The reason was estimated that the cold water was mixed up with the surrounding warm water by the effect of the typhoon. While a cold water was occurring in the eastern coast, a typhoon passed by the offshore of the eastern coast, there were the increasing of the SST as well as the disappearing of the cold water. While a typhoon was passing by the offshore of the eastern coast, the cold water which resulted from the strong tidal current in the western coast of the peninsula was horizontally spread from the onshore to the offshore. We think that the typhoon played the role of the very strong wind which was blowing from north toward south. Therefore, the Ekman transport occurred from the onshore toward the offshore of the western coast in the Korean peninsula.

By use of the oceanographic data from 1932 to 1941 and from 1960 to 1967, the general properties of the cold water in the Korea Strait are discussed. This water characterized with temperatures 3-10$^{\circ}C$ and salinities 34.0-34.4 originates from the Japan Sea and begins to flow out in summer along the bottom about 8 to 18 miles southeast of Ulgi in Ulsan. It usually reaches the Pusan- Tsushima section and rarely to the west of the southernmost part of Tsushima. As it flows out, it shows rising trend along the coast of Korea and sometimes upwelling occurs in the vicinity of Ulsan. It seems that the cold water forms an under current along the bottom in summer and autumn in the western channel of the Korea Strait.

2000년 7월 5일 한국 동남연안을 촬영한 SAR 영상에서 해안을 따라 나타난 낮은 후방산란 해역의 원인을 고찰 하였다. 이 해역은 여름철에 자주 표층 냉수가 관측되는 해역으로 인접한 시기의 SST 영상과 SeaWiFS 영상에서도 거의 동일한 해역에서 각각 낮은 표층 수온과 높은 농도의 엽록소 a의 분포를 보였다. 복수의 위성 센서 영상을 공동으로 활용한 결과 영양염이 풍부한 저층 냉수가 표층으로 용승 하여 식물플랑크톤을 비롯한 생물 활동을 증가시켰을 가능성을 보여주고 있으며, 높은 밀도의 생물 활동으로 인한 물질들이 생성한 표층 유막으로 인하여 SAR 영상에서 낮은 후방산란을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

Harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms have been frequently occurred in coastal areas of the East Sea since 1995. We compared the oceanic conditions in years 1995, 2001 and 2003 when the C. polykrikoides bloom was strong, and in years 1998 and 2004 when the C. polykrikoides bloom was not appeared. We studied temporal and spatial variation of upwelling and geostrophic currents on the western channel of Korean Strait, an entrance of the East Sea. The period and occurrence area of C. polykrikoides bloom was depended on variation of upwelling in summer. In the distributions of geostrophic current, southward current was dominant near the coast in August, 1998 and 2000. Whereas northward current was dominant near and off the coast in August, 1995 and 2003 which the C. polykrikoides bloom was strong. When compared dominant phytoplankton of the coastal areas in each year, Kuroshio indicator species Proboscia alata and Chaetoceros affine were dominant, respectively, in 2001 and 2003 at every stations. However, the dominant species was variable at each coastal area in 1998 and 2000. In 2003, the abundance of Sagitta elegans which is known as the cold water indicator was low, but the abundance of S. enflata, warm water indicator, was very high in Gangneung compared to Sokcho. It seemed that the distribution of S. elegans is restricted by strong warm water current. In conclusion, it was estimated that the distribution of C. polykrikoides bloom in the coastal area of the East Sea was closely related with the strength of East Korea Warm Current and upwelling.
