Most scyphomedusae jellyfishes recorded in Korean waters are temperate and subtropical species. In the present study, two cold-water jellyfishes from Korean waters are first described. Scyphomedusae were collected from the coasts of Gangneung and Ulsan of the East Sea, and Boryeong, and the eastern area of the Yellow Sea from June 2006 to May 2015. Scyphomedusae collected in Ulsan and Gangneung were identified morphologically as Aurelia limbata Brandt, 1835. Their umbrella was 250-500 mm in width and 30-50 mm in height; the exumbrella was white and the subumbrella was dark brown in color. The vascular system was complex with anastomosed branches. Individuals of this species lived at about 6.6-9.9℃ and 30-50 m depth in Korean waters. Scyphomedusae collected from the center of the Yellow Sea and from Boryeong were identified as Parumbrosa polylobata Kishinouye, 1910. Their umbrella was disc-shaped, 80-200 mm in width and 20-40 mm in height. Its milky white gonads could be seen through the transparent exumbrella. The stomach cavity was round and flat with four interradial cavities connected by subgenital cavities, and the four oral arms were bifurcated and spear-head shaped. Individuals were found at about 6.4-10.0℃ and 40-90 m depth in Korean waters. The identities of both species were confirmed by molecular analysis using nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences.

1980년 6월과 1981년 8월 제주해협과 황해의 동남 해역에서 8-16해리 간격으로 수 온-염분의 정밀 관측을 실시한 결과, 대양성의 고온 고염수가 제주도 서쪽연안 20 km 이내에 존재함을 발견하였다. 동시에 제주도 주변 해역의 표층에 나타나는 저염분 골 이 양자강퇴 해역의 저염분수에서 기원함이 확인되었다. 이 골에 의해 고온 고염수는 황해 표층수와 분리되며, 저층에서는 황해의 저층냉수와 전선을 이루고 있다. 황해 냉 수는 양자강퇴의 70 m 수심을 따라 동지나해를 향하여 남하하며, 또한 부분적으로 제주 해협의 북쪽 단면에도 나타나 남해로 유입 가능성이 크다. 이러한 복잡한 수계구조와 공간적 분포는 황해난류가 한국 서해안을 향하여 북상한다는 기존 학설(Uda, 1934)과 는 일치하지 않으며, 지속적인 조밀한 정선관측을 제주도 주변 해역에서 순서하여 해 류 구조의 시·공간적 변동상을 파악하여야 한다.

The relationship between the distribution of demersal fishes and that of the water masses was examined by using the catches data and hydrographic data in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea on May 13-19, 1996 and May 10-17, 1997. During the study period, the dominant fish species were Cleisthenes pinetorum herzinsteini, Lophiomus setigerus and Pseudosciaena polyactis. These three low temperature water species accounted for $21-24\%$ of the total catches. The percentage of the low temperature water species was high in the Yellow Sea and the coastal area on the continental shelf of the East China Sea but was low in the vincinity of Kyushu during the study period. In the East China Sea, the isotherm of $15^{\circ}C$ at 50m, mid layer depth, was located more southeast in 1996 than in 1997. The bottom water temperature was about it lower in 1996 than in 1997. The direction of the detided current on the continental shelf of the East China Sea was southward in 1996 and northward in 1997. Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water (YSBCW) strongly expanded to south in 1996 when the northward current was weak. But, Tsushima Warm Current (TSWC) strongly intruded into the continental shelf of the East China Sea in 1997. As YSBCW expanded strongly to south in 1996, the percentage of the low temperature water species relative to the total catches was high. But, TSWC strongly intruded and the percentage of low temperature water fishes was low in 1997.

하계에 나타나는 황해저층내수에 간단한 3차원의 육면체 모델을 적용하여, 조석의 혼합작용과 쿠로시오수괴가 황해저층냉수의 형성에 주는 영향을 연구하였다. 본연구에 서는 수치모델의 기술적인 문제 때문에 조석의 혼합작용을 연직혼합계수로 매계변수화 하였다. 또한 연안을 따라 나타나는 수온전선은 조석의 혼합작용에 의해서 형성되도록 하였으며, 황해저층냉수의 남부에 나타나는 수온전선의 형성에는 고온의 쿠로시오수괴 를 고려하였다. 수치실험의 결과, 모델의 상층과 하층에서 수온분포의 영향이 반대로 나타났다. 상층에서는 모델의 중앙부에서, 하층에서는 연안해역에서 각각 상대적으로 고온의 수온분포가 나타났다. 해수의 순환형태 역시 상층과 하층 사이에 반대로서, 상 층에는 시계방향이, 하층에는 반시계방향의 순환이 나타났다.

We investigated species composition and spatial distribution of the euphausiid community in the Yellow Sea and identified the relationship with environmental factors (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll $\alpha$, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate) using bimonthly data from June, 1997 to April, 1998. The environment varied during the sampling period. In warm seasons, thermocline was well developed rendering lower temperature and higher salinity and nutrient concentrations in the bottom layer. During cold seasons the water column was well mixed and no such vertical stratification was noted. Horizontal distribution of temperature, however, differed slightly between near-coast and offshore areas because of the shallow depth of the Yellow Sea, and between southern and northern areas because of the intrusion of water masses such as Yellow Sea Warm Current and Changjiang River Diluted Water. Four euphausiid species were identified: Euphausia pacifica, E. sanzoi, Pseudeuphausia sp. and Stylocheron affine. E. sanzoi and S. affine were collected, just one juvenile each, from the southern area in June and December, respectively. Pseudeuphausia sp. were collected in the eastern area all the year round except June. E. pacifica occurred at the whole study area and were the predominant species, representing at least 97.6% of the euphausiid abundance. Further, the distribution pattern of the species was varied in regards to developmental stages (adult, furcilia, calyptopis, egg). From spring to fall, E. pacifica adults were abundant in the central area where the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water prevailed. Furcilia and calyptopis extended their distribution into nearly all the study area during the same period. From late fall to winter, adults were found at the near-coastal are a with similar pattern for furcilia and calyptopis. The distribution pattern of E. pacifica was consistent regarding temperature, salinity, and three nutrients during the sampling period, whereas chlorophyll $\alpha$ showed a different pattern according to the developmental stages. The nutrients should indirectly affect via chlorophyll $\alpha$ and phytoplankton concentration. With respect to these results, we presented a scenario about how the environmental factors along with the water current affect the distribution of E. pacifica in the Yellow Sea.

1965년부터 1979년까지의 해양관측자료를 사용하여 우리나라 서해에서 일어나는 수온역전 현상을 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 겨울의 수온역전 현상은 전 해역과 모든 수심에 걸쳐서 일어난다. (2) 여름은 제주도 서방 해역에서만 비교적 많이 일어난다. 이와 같은 수온역전 현상은 겨울의 경우는 현열손실, 잠열손실 및 남하 Ekman 수송 등에 의한 표면 냉각효과 때문으로 생각된다. 여름의 경우는 온도와 염분의 성질이 서로 다른 황해 저층수와 황해 난류가 제주도 서방 해역에서 경계를 이루고, 서로 혼합되는 과정에서 생기는 것으로 보여진다.

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.

Using the results of CTD casts made in Spring from 2017 to 2021, in this study we investigated the water mass distribution and occurrence of temperature inversion in the western seas of Jeju Island in spring. The distribution of water masses was characterized by cold and fresh water in the northwest and warm and saline water in the southeast, forming a strong thermohaline front running in the southwest-to-northeast direction. Strong temperature inversion mainly occurred in the frontal boundary when the cold water intrudes beneath the warm water at depths of 30-50 m. Analysis of the mixing ratio demonstrated that Jeju Warm Water is dominantly distributed in the western seas of Jeju Island, but its ratio can be modified depending on the southward extension of Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW). Results of in situ measurement showed that in 2020, the YSCW largely expanded to the western seas of Jeju Island, occupying approximately 40 % of the mixing ratio. Due to the expansion of YSCW, a strong thermohaline front was formed in the study area, thereby causing thick and strong temperature inversion. On the other hand, in 2018 the mixing ratio of YSCW was minimum (~18%) during the study period of 2017-2021, and thus a relatively weak frontal boundary was formed, without the occurrence of temperature inversion. The observational results also suggest that the interannual changes of water mass distribution and the associated temperature inversion in the western seas of Jeju Island are closely related with wind-driven Yellow Sea circulation in spring, which is the summer monsoon transition period.

동계의 이상저온이 하계에 발생하는 황해저층냉수의 이상저온 현상에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해서 1981년 7월에 실시한 해양 관측 결과와 기상 자료 (1960~1981년) 및 국립수산진흥원 발행의 해양조사년보(1960~1981년)를 사용하여 검토하였다. 하계 황해저층에서 발생하는 이상저온현상은 전년 동계의 이상기상 현상과 밀접한 연구가 있음을 알 수 있다. 즉 1980년의 동계는 기온이 평년에 비해 1~8$^{\circ}C$ 낮았으며, 북서 계절풍도 강하여 황해냉수가 이상적으로 발달 하였고, 또 표면수온도 1~3$^{\circ}C$ 낮았다. 이때 발생한 냉수의 영향으로 1981년 하계의 저층냉수는 평년보다 2~3$^{\circ}C$ 이상 낮은 저온현상을 보였고, 그 범위도 서해연안과 제주도 서방 약 50마일 해역까지 확장하였다. 평년에 비해 1981년 2월의 깊이 30m의 수온이 소흑산도 부근을 제외한 전해역에서는 1~2$^{\circ}C$, 8월의 수심 50m는 3.5$^{\circ}C$ 정도 낮았고, 특히 홍도 외해는 5$^{\circ}C$나 낮았다. 그러므로 평년 보다 2.5~4.5$^{\circ}C$ 낮은 1981년 하계 황해 저층냉수의 이상저수온 현상은 전년 동계의 강한 북서 계절풍과 이상저기온에 기인된 표층해수의 냉각효과때문임이 밝혀졌다.
