The monthly observations of hydrography in the Cheju Strait from September 1995 to June 1998 show that the Cheju Strait is occupied mostly by Tsushima Current Water in winter and coastal waters in summer. In summer, the Yangtze Coastal Water appears in the upper layer and cold water in the lower layer. Especially, the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water appears in August 1997, and the clockwise flow of warm water along the northwestern coasts of Cheju Island is disturbed by an eastward expansion of the cold water from the northwest. The cold water expansion seems to be partly associated with strong southeasterly winds. Current measurements in the Cheju Strait suggest that there exists steady eastward barotropic component of about 5 cm/sec, which corresponds to 0.2 Sv barotropic transport in the Cheju Strait. Geostropic transport (baroclinic component) ranges from 0.1 Sv in winter to 0.4 Sv in summer. By adding the barotrophic component of 0.2 Sv, the total transport varies from 0.3 Sv to 0.6 Sv, which is consistent with previous estimations. The transport increase in summer seems to be caused by the expansion of coastal water to the Cheju Strait.

To investigate the effect of seasonal marine environment conditions on the cyanobacteria abundance and diversity in the South Sea, four-seasonal surveys were conducted along the 127.5°E survey transect line in the central South Sea using flow cytometry and 16S-23S ITS on the Miseq platform from August 2016 to May 2017. The average abundance of Synechococcus varied from 3.3 × 10³ to 7.4 × 10⁴ cells ml^-1. The abundance was the highest in the summer and the lowest in the winter, and the abundance fluctuated according to water temperature. The abundance was high in the outer sea affected by TWC. However, in summer, the Coastal areas affected by the Yangtze River were more populated than the outer sea. Prochlorococcus was rare and could not penetrate into coastal areas due to the fronts, but showed its dominance in the waters influenced by the TWC. Synechococcus clades II, VII, IX, CRD1, and CRD2 were predominant in the outer sea area affected by the TWC. In the coastal area, clades I and IV showed higher dominance whereas clades V, VI, WPC1, and 5.3-MS3 with euryhaline characteristics, showed a high dominance rate in the water masses affected by the low-salinity water of the Yangtze River in the summer. Clade XVI, XVII, CB1, CB5, and 5.3-I/II showed high dominance in nutrient-rich waters in the summer with increased water temperature. The abundance and community composition of cyanobacteria changed in the South Sea due to the influence of the TWC and stratification. In the summer, the abundance and the community composition differed, and were mainly affected by the general influence of the TWC in addition to the influence of the Yangtze River low-salinity water.

한반도 서남부해역은 하계 양자강의 유출에 의해 저염분 현상이 발생한다. 중국 대통(Datong)에서 지난 65년(1922­1986)간 장기관측한 자료에 의하면 매년 양자강 유출량은 일정하지 않으며, 최대 유출량은 최소유출량의 2배 이상이 됨을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 양자강의 유출량을 달리하여 저염확산을 수치모델로 연구하고자 하였다. 수치모델은 POM(Princeton Ocean Model)을 사용하였다. POM은 연직적으로 $\sigma$­좌표계를 사용하는 3차원 해양순환모델이다. 모델 수행 후 연구해역내 대륙사면에서 유속이 강하게 나타났다. 또한 제주도 서쪽을 통해 북상하여 황해중앙부로 들어가는 흐름이 있으며, 대륙연안을 따라 남하하는 흐름이 있음을 알 수 있다. 양자강 유출량을 부여한 후 수행한 모델의 결과를 보면 양자강 유출량이 많을수록 저염분역이 제주도에 가깝게 나타남을 알 수 있다.

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.

관광단지의 개발로 인해 생활오염수가 연안생태계에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 제기된 제주도 남쪽 중문 연안해역에 대해 1997년 7월부터 2000년 6월까지 매달 1회씩 관측하여 물리해양학적 특성을 조사하였다. 겨울철과 여름철의특성은 각각 $12{\sim}4$월과 $6{\sim}10$월에 나타나며 5월과 11월은 중간시기이다. 겨울철에는 수온이 약 14{\sim}16^{\circ}C$, 염분이 34${\sim}$34.7 psu로 대마난류수가 분포하며 여름에는 수온이 $15{\sim}27^{\circ}C$, 염분이 32${\sim}$34.3 psu로 저층에는 여전히 대마난류수가 분포하고 표층에는 저염의 양자강연안수가 영향을 미치고 있다. 양자강연안수의 영향이 특히 강한 때는 30 psu 이하가 나타나기도 한다. 성층은 연안에서는 거의 형성되지 않고 외양에서 약 20m층에서 6${\sim}$10월에 형성된다. 표층의 등온선과 등염분선의 분포는 때때로 해안선에 수직인 경향이 나타나며 이것은 정점1부근의 화력발전소와 정점3부근의 하천과 하수종말처리장의 영향으로 해석할 수 있다. 이번 관측으로는, 이들의 영향이 미칠 수 있는 최대한도는 수온이 300m 거리에서 약 $0.4^{\circ}C$이하, 염분이 30m 이내의 거리에서 약 0.1 psu이하로만 말 할 수 있다. 보다 정확한 영향을 파악하기 위해서는 관측정점들이 화력발전소와 하수종말처리장 배출구에 보다 가깝고 조밀해야 할 것이다.

In the adjacent seas of Cheju Island, the oceanographic conditions show low salinity surface waters starting in May. This water flows from the southeast part of the China Coastal Water, which flows southeastward along the Great Yangtze Sand Bank until April, with the help of southeasterly winds and flows from the adjacent sea off Cheju Island. In May, the Tsushima Warm Current and the low salinity surface water fluctuate in short and long-term periods as influenced by Yellow Sea Cold Water, which flows to the bottom layer at the western entrance of Cheju Strait. Temperature and salinity fronts in the northeastern sea area of U Island are formed in the boundary area between the Tsushima Warm Current, which expands towards Cheju Island from the southeastern sea area of Cheju Island and Hows out from the eastern entrance of the strait. Seasonally, additional oceanographic conditions, such as coastal counter-currents, which flow southward, appears within limited areas in the adjacent eastern and western seas of Cheju Island.

국립수산과학원이 1993년부터 2013년까지 지난 20년간 우리나라 연안에서 관측한 정선관측자료, NOAA/NGSST 위성영상자료, 적조자료 및 수치실험자료 등을 분석하여, Cochlodinium polykrikoides (이하 C. polykrikoides)적조의 최초의 발생지로 알려진 고흥 연안의 8월의 해양환경적 특징을 조사하였다. 조사기간 중 고흥 연안 (나로도)의 표층 및 저층의 평균 수온은 각각 $25.0^{\circ}C$와 $23.7^{\circ}C$로, 대조구인 거제 해역의 표층과 저층에서의 평균 수온인 $23.8^{\circ}C$와 $19.4^{\circ}C$ 보다 약 $1.2-4.3^{\circ}C$가 높았다. 또한, 고흥 연안의 평균 염분은 표층과 저층에서 각각 31.78 psu과 31.98 psu로, 대조구인 거제해역의 31.54와 32.79에 비해 표층은 다소 높으나 저층은 낮았다. 즉, 고흥 연안은 하계인 8월에 표층과 저층간의 수온차나 염분차가 거제에 비해 크지 않았으며, 따라서, 고흥 연안은 8월에 성층이 매우 미약하거나 형성되지 않을 가능성을 시사하였다. 또한, 고흥 연안과 거제 해역의 표층에서의 DIN과 DIP농도는 각각 0.068 mg/L($4.86{\mu}M$)와 0.072 mg/L ($5.14{\mu}M$), 0.015 mg/L($0.48{\mu}M$)와 0.01 mg/L($0.32{\mu}M$)로, 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 한편, C. polykrikoides 적조 발생시, 양쯔강 하구에 인접한 동중국해($31.5^{\circ}N$, $124^{\circ}E$)에서의 8월의 표층 평균 수온 및 염분은 각각 $27.8^{\circ}C$와 31.61psu로, 고흥 연안에 비해 수온은 $2.8^{\circ}C$가 높았으나, 염분은 거의 유사하였다. 또한, 동중국해의 8월 표층의 질산염($NO_3-N$) 및 인산염($PO_4-P$) 농도는 고흥 연안에 비해 현저히 높았다. 게다가, C. polykrikoides적조 발생시의 NOAA/NGSST 위성영상자료 및 수치실험결과에 의하면, 양쯔강 하천수가 제주도와 우리나라 남해안까지 확장하여 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서, 하계 고흥 연안에서의 C. polykrikoides적조 발생에는 양쯔강 하천수에 의한 영양염 공급이 크게 기여하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

We describe here the shallow water tides in the seas around Korea, obtained from a nonlinear barotropic model of tides in a domain encompassing the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the East Sea (Sea of Japan). As expected, the shallow water tides are large in the shallow marginal areas around the Yellow Sea, with the M4 tide reaching amplitudes as high as 10 cm near the Korean coast, and quite small in the East Sea. However, we also find that the regions east of the Yangtze River ($126^{\circ}E,$ $30^{\circ}N$) in the East China Sea also sustain large shallow water tides, with $M_{4}$, amplitudes reaching 5 cm. Such large shallow water tides are an important component of altimeter-measured sea levels and should not be ignored in any altimetric analyses of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. This study also highlights the desirability of very high resolution models to derive accurate shallow water tides in coastal regions.

Photosynthetic pigments, nutrients, and hydrographic variables were examined in order to elucidate the spatio-temporal variation of water column structure and its effect on phytoplankton community structure in the western channel of the Korea Strait in fall 2006 and spring 2007. High phytoplankton biomass in the spring was associated with high salinity, implying that nutrients were not supplied by coastal waters or the Yangtze-River Diluted water (YRDW) with low salinity. Expansion of the Korea Strait Bottom Cold Water (KSBCW) and a cold eddy observed during the spring season might enhance the nutrient supply from the subsurface layer to the euphotic zone. Chemotaxonomic examination showed that diatoms accounted for 60-70% of total biomass, followed by dinoflagellates. Nutrient supply by physical phenomena such as the expansion of the KSBCW and the occurrence of a cold eddy appears to be the controlling factors of phytoplankton community composition in the Korea Strait. Further study is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which the KSBCW is expanded, and its role in phytoplankton dynamics.
