여름철 황해 동부 연안 저층에 형성되는 수온전선을 따라 북쪽으로 흐르는 연안 경계류의 크기와 위치에 영향을 주는 요소들을 3차원 수치모형인 ROMS를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 여름에 수심이 깊은 외해에서는 태양 가열로 강한 성층에 존재하지만 수심이 얕은 연안에서는 조류가 일으키는 저층 혼합으로 해수물성이 연직으로 잘 혼합된다. 이 과정에서 성층화된 외해와 연직 혼합이 잘되고 수온이 높은 연안 사이에서 수온전선이 형성되며, 수온전선을 가로 지르는 방향의 밀도 구배에 의해 수온전선을 따라 북쪽으로 흐르는 연안 경계류가 발생함을 확인하였다. 해류계를 이용한 현장 관측에서도 약 10 cm/s로 북상하는 연안 경계류가 관측되었다. 이러한 수온전선을 따라 북쪽으로 흐르는 연안 경계류는 주로 조류와 바람의 영향을 크게 받는다. 조류에 의한 저층 혼합과 바람에 의한 표층 혼합이 여름철 황해 동부 경계류에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소다. 바람에 의한 표층 혼합은 북쪽으로 흐르는 황해 동부 연안 경계류의 폭을 더 넓게 하여 수송량을 증가시킨다. 강물의 유입과 일사량의 변화는 연안 경계류의 세기와 위치 변화에 큰 영향을 주지 않는다. 성층이 강하게 이루어지는 여름철 황해 동부 연안 $36^{\circ}N$에서는 대조기(소조기) 동안 강한(약한) 조류가 북쪽으로 흐르는 해류의 수송량을 증가(감소)시키지만, 동안 경계류의 위치를 크게 변화시키지는 않는다. 연안 경계류의 평균적인 위치는 바람의 세기 변화에 따라 변화하였다.

Recently there have been growing disputes between neighboring local governments over jurisdictional rights or property rights of ocean resources in Korean coastal waters. The reasons for the disputes come mainly from the increasing interests by local governments that begin to see the oceans as the source of resources and wealth. The maritime dispute is more complicated and sticky than the inland ones, and requires not only socio-economical but political approach, therefore sometimes demanding a plenty of time and endeavor. Also coastal states that have suffered from maritime boundary problems have different issues under the different environment and historical background. For Korea, as the maritime boundary issue has very recently soared to the surface, though it was latent for the period as long as 20 years, we have just taken steps toward an institutional approach on it, seemingly more to go to reach an agreeable resolutions to the disputes. This paper highlighted the issues surrounding the maritime boundary on the sea surrounding Korean peninsular after addressing the current situation of the boundary disputes. It will help explore and assess the possible solutions to the boundary conflicts over the lateral boundary between local governments.

Because a change in the natural frequencies of a structure indicates structural health problems, monitoring the natural frequencies crucial. Long-term measurement for the Uldolmok tidal current power plant structure has shown that its natural frequencies fluctuate with a constant cycle twice a day. In this study, lab-scale tests to investigate the causes of these natural frequency fluctuations were carried out in a circulating water channel. Three independent variables in the tests that could affect the fluctuation of the natural frequencies were the water level, current velocity, and boundary condition between the specimen and the bottom of the circulating water channel. The experimental results were verified with numerical ones using ABAQUS. It was found that the fluctuation of the natural frequencies was governed by a decrease in stiffness due to the boundary condition much more than the effect of added mass. In addition, it was found that the natural frequency would decrease with an increase in the tidal current velocity because of its nonlinearity when the boundary condition was severely deteriorated due to damage.

To investigate the effect of mechanical parameters on the circulation and its fluctuation in Sagami Bay, baroclinic model experiments were carried out by use of a two-layer source-sink flow in a rotating tank. In the experiment, a simple coastal topography with flat bottom was reproduced. The results show that the path of the Through Flow, which corresponds to the branch current of the Kuroshio, depends on external Rossby number (Ro) and internal Rossby number $(Ro^*)$, and divided into two regimes. For $Ro^*\leq1.0$ in which Rossby internal radius of deformation of the Through Flow is smaller than the width of the approaching channel, the current flows along the Oshima Island as a coastal boundary density current separated from the western boundary of the channel. For $Ro^*>1.0$ it changes to a jet flow along the western boundary of the channel, separated from the coast of Oshima Island. The current is independent on both Ro and Ro* in the regime of $Ro^*>1.0,\;Ro\geq0.06$ and $Ro^*\leq1.0,\;Ro\geq0.06$. The pattern of the cyclonic circulation in the inner part of the bay is also determined by Ro and Ro*. In case of $Ro^*\leq1.0$, frontal eddies are formed in the northern boundary of the Through Flow. These frontal eddies intrude into the inner part along the eastern boundary of the bay providing vorticity to form and maintain the inner cyclonic circulation. For $Ro^*>1.0$, the wakes from the Izu peninsula are superposed intensifying the cyclonic circulation. The pattern of the cyclonic circulation is divided into three types; 1) weak cyclonic circulation and the inner anticyclonic circulation $(Ro<0.12)$. 2) cyclonic circulation in the bay $(0.12\leq Ro<0.25)$. 3) cyclonic circulation with strong boundary current $(RO\geq0.25)$.

장파를 모의하는 2차원 유한요소 수동역학모형들은 대부분 고정육지경계를 사용하여 왔으나 우리나라의 서ㆍ남해안과 같이 조간대가 넓게 발달한 연안에서는 이동경계의 적용이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 이동경계 처리방법에 장파의 파형경사 특성을 고려한 새로운 수치기법을 도입하여 보다 효율적이고 현실적인 이동경계 처리방안을 제시하였다. 수립된 2단계 양해법 유한요소모형은 직선형수로에서 기존의 조간대 처리 연구결과와 비교되었으며 수치적인 안정성이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 조간대가 광범위하게 형성된 천수만에 적용하여 실제해역에 대한 적용성을 입증하였다. 수치실험결과 천수만에서의 해수유동은 낙조시간이 창조시간 보다 긴 비선형성 조류흐름을 나타내며, 만족스럽게 조간대가 처리되었고 최강 창조시부터 고조시까지 지형적 요인에 의한 순환현상이 원산도 후면에서 재현되었다.

The Soya Warm Current (SWC) is a coastal boundary current, which flows along the coast of Hokkaido in the Sea of Okhotsk. Seasonal and subinertial variations in the SWC are investigated using data obtained by high-frequency (HF) ocean radars, coastal tide gauges, and a bottom-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The HF radars clearly capture the seasonal variations in the surface current fields of the SWC. The velocity of the SWC reaches its maximum, approximately 1 m/s, in the summer, and becomes weaker in the winter. The velocity core is located 20 to 30 km from the coast, and its width is approximately 50 km. The almost same seasonal cycle was repeated in the period from August 2003 to March 2007. In addition to the annual variation, the SWC exhibits subinertial variations with a period from 10-15 days. The surface transport by the SWC shows a significant correlation with the sea level difference between the Sea of Japan and Sea of Okhotsk for both of the seasonal and subinertial variations, indicating that the SWC is driven by the sea level difference between the two seas. Generation mechanism of the subinertial variation is discussed using wind data from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses. The subinertial variations in the SWC are significantly correlated with the meridional wind component over the region. The subinertial variations in the sea level difference and surface current delay from the meridional wind variations for one or two days. Continental shelf waves triggered by the meridional wind on the east coast of Sakhalin and west coast of Hokkaido are considered to be a possible generation mechanism for the subinertial variations in the SWC.

A numerical experiment is made in order to clarify the mechanism of the upwelling phenomenon along the coast near the poleward edge of the western boundary current. The possibility of the upwelling is suggested from the analysis of the observational data in the east of Honshu, Japan, and in the south eastern coast of Korean Peninsula. This upwelling phenomenon is very deep and can be traced to the bottom layer. The upwelling phenomenon seems to be a general oceanic feature which characterizes the region along the west coast near the poleward edge of the western boundary current. This experiment is simulating the oceanic condition of the transition region between Kuroshio front and the Oyashio front in the east of Honshu, Japan. The possible explanations of the causes of the upwelling are as follows;In the interior of the modeled ocean the cold heavy water supplied from the north and the warm light water from the south make the north-south gradient of the pressure field and accelerate the eastward current to produce the h-orizontal divergence feld near the west coast. The divergence is compensated by the upwelling near the separation region. Another one is that the upwell-ed cold water strengthen constantly the pressure gradient which is balanced by the northward current and is weakened by the horizontal diffusion.

X-SAR images taken on the coastal waters of Hwanghe province in Korea during SIR-C/X-SAR campaign in April and October 1994 are analysed. The SAR images show the peculiar signatures like nail marks, curved long string, and vortex streets patterns and they all seem to be produced by strong interactions between the topography in the coastal waters and tidal currents. The nail mark signatures are located at the same position of small scaled sand banks and the curved line patterns are almost identical to the outer boundary of large sand banks. Based on the tidal record, all the three images are taken at the almost same phase of tidal cycles, which are close to the low tide. It seems that bottom shapes are more strongly appeared on the SAR images when the tidal currents are slow. The front between two different current velocities caused by the flows along the steep boundaries of sandbanks is also the main factors imprinting the bottom features to the sea surface SAR images
