1995년도 1996년 6월에 실시된 CREAMS 항해 관측 자료를 이용하여 Wasaka bay 연안역의 수온역전 현상을 조사하였다. 수온역전현상은 대부분 20m 이천의 상층부에 위치하였으며, 특히 쓰시마난류와 연안수와의 경계역 부분에 형성되었다. 쓰시마난류는 고온${\cdot}$고염분수의 특징을 가지며, 이러한 고수온은 경계역 부분에서 수온역전 현상을 초래하여 밀도 역전현상을 일으키는 작용을 하는 반면, 고염분은 밀도를 증가시켜 주는 작용을 하여 수온역전에 따른 밀도역전현상을 막아주는 역할을 한다.

To investigate characteristics of water masses and current structures around Noto Peninsula located in south-east coastal region of the East Sea, observation results of CREAMS (Circulations Research of the East Asian Marginal Seas) cruise and data report of oceanographic observation (Japan Meteorological Agency) in June, 1995 and 1996 were used. Water mass showing characteristics of Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) exists over the continental shelf. The depth is shallower than 200m and its width and thickness are 190km and 200m, respectively. Minimum level of dissolved oxygen occurred at the layers of maximum salinity. In the current structure, a noteworthy phenomenon is that the positions of the high-salinity water (more than 34.6 psu) match well with the distributions of the southwestward flow. In June of 1995 and June of 1996, a southwestward flow were separated into two parts along line C and line G. Current directions derived from the temperature and salinity match well with the distributions of the geostrophic currents in the vertical sections. The isothermal lines and the isohaline, which exist horizontally along the coastal area of the Japan, change abruptly at the frontal area of the Noto Peninsula, then turn toward the center of the East Sea. The dynamic depth anomalies centering around the region far northwest of the Noto Peninsula were relatively high, compared to those of other regions. The isopycnic surface (sigma-t, 25.8) existed near the surface in the central part of the East Sea, but, at the depth of 100m, the isopycnic surface was found in the coastal waters.
