Time-mean and absolute geostrophic velocities of the Kuroshio current south of Japan are derived from TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data using a Gaussian jet model. When compared with simultaneous measurements from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) at two intersection points, the altimetric and ADCP absolute velocities correlate well with the correlation of 0.55 to 0.74. The time-mean velocity is accurate to 1 cm s$^{-1}$ to 5 cm s$^{-1}$. The errors in the absolute and the mean velocities are similar to those reported previously far other currents. The comparable performance suggests the Gaussian jet model is a promising methodology for determining absolute geostrophic velocities, noting that in this region the Kuroshio does not meander sufficiently, which provides unfavorable environment for the performance of the Gaussian jet model.

한국 남해안 거제도 앞바다에 투하된 인공용승구조물에 대한 유통 변화를 파악하기 위해 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 선박에 장착하여 정선관측을 실시하였다. 관측결과 구조물 투하전과 후의 유통비교를 보면 구조물 주변역에서 표층에서부터 수심 $30\sim40m$까지의 충과 그 이심까지의 흐름이 다르게 나타났다. 또한 구조물 주변역에서 연직유동성분의 흐름이 구조물 투하 전에는 하강류의 분포가 많이 나타났으나 구조물 투하 후에는 상승류의 성분이 많이 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

하천 홍수량의 정확한 측정은 홍수 관리, 수자원 관리, 수공구조물의 설계와 시공, 수환경 관리에 있어서 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 따라서 국가는 전문기관을 통하여 국가하천의 홍수량을 정확하게 측정하려는 노력을 하여왔고 이러한 목적에 따라 다양한 홍수량 측정방법이 개발되어 왔다. 전 세계적으로 이러한 움직임을 대변하고 있는 최신의 기술은 ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 이용하여 하천을 횡단하면서 유속과 수심을 측정하여 유량을 측정하는 방법이며, 이러한 횡단 유량을 측정하기 위해서 원격으로 조정하는 유량 계측보트를 이용하는 방법이 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 ADCP를 하천에서 이용할 때 수면 아래 10%, 하상 위 10% 정도는 ADCP를 이용하여 정확하게 유속을 측정하기가 어렵기 때문에 이론적인 가정에 근거한 유량산정 방법을 통하여 구하고 있다. 따라서 최신의 유량측정 방법이라고 하더라도 기본적으로 20% 정도의 유량측정 에러를 포함할 가능성이 많고 실제로도 5-15% 정도의 측정오차를 갖는 것이 일반적이다. 이러한 측정오차를 5% 이내로 줄일 수 있다면 홍수 관리, 수자원 관리, 수공구조물의 설계와 시공 등에서 보다 효율적이고 정확한 관리가 실행될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ADCP와 원격유량계측보트를 이용하여 하천의 홍수량 측정시 유량측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 1) 불규칙한 홍수량 횡단면을 갖는 측정결과로부터 최적 횡단면을 추출하는 기술과 2) 홍수량 측정시 바닥층 유속 프로파일을 산정할 수 있는 최적 유속분포 확정 기술에 대해 연구하고자 하였다.

This study shows that the vertical migration speed of sound scattering layers (SSLs), which is distributed in near Funka Bay, were measured by 3D velocity components acquired from a bottom moorng ADCP. While the bottom mooring type has a problem to measure the velocity vectors of sound scattering layer distributed near to surface, both the continuous vertical migration patterns and variability of backscatterers were routinely investigated as well. In addition, the velocity vectors were compared with the vertical migration velocity estimated from echograms of Mean Volume Backscattering Strength, and estimated to produce observational bias due to SSLs which is composed of backscatterers such as euphausiids, nekton, and fishes have swimming ability.

연안역의 천해 해저면에 설치된 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, 300kHz, 1200kHz)를 이용, 천해에서 체적 산란강도(volume scattering strength) 수직분포의 시간적인 변동 특성을 알아보았다. 수심 85m와 113m에서 ADCP로 측정한 산란강도의 일주기 변동성은 동물플랑크톤(zooplankton)으로 추측되는 산란체의 일주기 수직 이동(daily vertical migration)의 원인으로 추정되었다. 그러나 수심 20m의 천해에서 관측된 산란강도의 시변동성은 경험적 직교 함수(Empirical Orthogonal Function, EOF) 분석 결과 해저면 부근의 변화가 천해 체적 산란의 변동성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) have been widely utilized for assessing streamflow discharge, yet few comprehensive studies were conducted to evaluate discharge uncertainty in consideration of individual uncertainty components. It could be mostly because it was not easy to determine which uncertainty framework can be appropriate to rigorously analyze streamflow discharge driven by ADCPs. In this regard, considerable efforts have been made by scientific and engineering societies to develop a standardized theoretical framework for uncertainty analysis in hydrometry. One of the well-established UA methodology based on sound statistical and engineering concepts is Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty Measurement (GUM) adopted widely by various scientific and research communities. This research fundamentally adapted the GUM framework to assess individual uncertainty components of ADCP discharge measurements, and subsequently provided results of a customized experiment in a controllable real-scale artificial river channel. We focused particularly upon sensitivities of uncertainty components in the GUM framework driven by ADCPs direct measurements such as depths, edge distance, submerged depth, velocity gap, sampling time, repeatability, bed roughness and so on. Section-by-Section method for ADCP discharge measurement was applied for uncertainty analysis for this study. All of measurements were carefully compared with data using other instrumentations such as ADV to evaluate individual uncertainty components.

ADCPs have been highlighted so far for measuring steramflow discharge in terms of their high-order of accuracy, relatively low cost and less field operators driven by their easy in-situ operation. While ADCPs become increasingly dominant in hydrometric area, their actual measurement accuracy for velocity and bathymetry measurement has not been sufficiently validated due to the lack of reliable bench-mark data, and subsequently there are still many uncertain aspects for using ADCPs in the field. This research aimed at analyzing inter-comparison results between ADCP measurements with respect to the detailed ADV measurement in a specified field environment. Overall, 184 ADV points were collected for densely designed grids for the given cross-section that has 6 m of width, 1 m of depth, and 0.7 m/s of averaged mean flow velocity. Concurrently, ADCP fixed-points measurements were conducted for each 0.2m and 0.02m of horizontal and vertical spacing respectively. The inter-comparison results indicated that ADCP matched ADV velocity very accurately for 0.4~0.8 of relative depth (y/h), but noticeable deviation occurred between them in near surface and bottom region. For evaluating the capacity of measuring bathymetry of ADCPs, bottom tracking bathymetry based on oblique beams showed better performance than vertical beam approach, and similar results were shown for fixed and moving-boat method as well. Error analysis for velocity and bathymetry measurements of ADCP can be potentially able to be utilized for the more detailed uncertainty analysis of the ADCP discharge measurement.

In order to investigate the validity of acoustic tomography for current measurement, an experiment of reciprocal sound transmission was conducted in April, 1997 in the southern water of Koje island. This experiment was attempted as a preliminary field study on coastal ocean acoustic tomography for construction of real-time current observation system. Examining the physical oceanography environments, the current data obtained by travel time difference of reciprocal sound wave was compared with the data of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The result shows the correlation coefficient of 0.943, very good relation between the two data, and therefore the ocean acoustic tomography could be a useful method for current measurement in the coastal area.
