1967년부터 1986년까지의 국립수산진흥원의 관측자료를 사용하여 동해 남서해역에 서 난수성 소용돌이 (고기압성 소용돌이)의 구조 및 공간분포의 특성과 변동에 대해 연구하였다. 난수성 소용돌이는 울릉도 남서쪽 부근에서 자주 관측되며, 타원형이 많 고, 평균크기는 약 130 km이다. 난수성 소용돌이의 월별분포에 의하면 8월에 관측되는 빈도가 가장 많고, 6월에 가장 적다. 이것은 난수성 소용돌이의 발생이 동한난류 세력 의 발달과 관계가 있음을 나타낸다. 난수성 소용돌이는 서쪽이나 북쪽 또는 남쪽으로 0.80∼2.50 cm/sec의 속도로 이동하거나 한 장소에서 수개월동안 정체한다. 이러한 움 직임은 주변의 해류와 로스비파 및 지형의 영양을 받는다. 난수성 소용돌이의 분포아 해저지형과의 관계는 소용돌이의 이동과 발달이 울릉분지에 의해 영향을 받고 있음을 시사한다. 난수성 소용돌이는 크게 2개의 군으로 나눌 수 있다. 하나는 경압성의 특성 이 강한 수심이 얕은 소용돌이 군이고, 다른 하나는 순압성의 특성이 강한 수심이 깊 은 소용돌이 군이다. 부산과 일본의 모니와의 해수면 차이로 대마난류의 수송량을 추 정할 수 있는데, 수심이 얕은 소용돌이의 분포가 여름철 수송량이 클 때와 일치하였 다. 반면에 수심이 깊은 소용돌이 군은 대마난류의 수송량과 아무런 관계도 보이지 않 았다.

Satellite infrared images were analyzed to study the distribution of eddies off the east coast of Korea from 1987 to 1991. Most of the eddies were filament-type and were generated near the fringe of the East Korea Warm Current (EKWC) flowing northward. Eddies having length of 20-40km and width of 10-20km were most abundant. The meso-scale eddies of 100-200km in diameter were found between Mukho and Wonsan Bay in almost all the images. There was no evidence for the consistent movement of eddies to a definite direction. The Ulleung Warm Eddy, although reported previously by the hydrographic data, could not be identified by the limited amount of infrared imagery.

Using OGCM results, we have shown that the ring-like cold baroclinic eddies associated with cyclonic circulation are shed from late summer to early fall near the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge from the Kuroshio Extension owing to baroclinic instability. On the other hand, warm baroclinic eddies are generated by the intensified western boundary current associated with the warm anomaly accumulated near the Ridge in winter, which corresponds to the basin-wide barotropic intensification of the wind-driven gyre in winter. We are successful in reproducing the behavior of those meso-scale eddies using a simple two-layer primitive equation model driven by seasonal winds associated with the positive curl. Those eddies carry barotropic seasonal signals originated in the Pacific Basin quite slowly west of the ridge; this process introduces a phase lag in the timing of the seasonal maximum transport in the Philippine Basin west of the ridge. It Is demonstrated that the existence of bottom topography, baroclinicity, and nonlinearity due to advection are three necessary elements for the generation of these eddies south of Japan.

HYCOM 재분석 자료를 이용하여 동해에서 2003년과 2014년에 장기간 지속되었던 두 개의 난수성 에디를 선정하여 각각 WE03과 WE14로 명명하고 비교 분석하였다. 두 난수성 에디가 형성되는 시기는 동한난류가 평년에 비해 북상하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 난수성 에디는 동한난류와 아한대전선의 상호작용을 통해 상대적으로 수심이 얕은 한국대지 해역에서 생성되었다. 겨울철 연직 혼합에 의해서 난수성 에디의 중심부는 수심 150 m까지 $13^{\circ}C$, 34.1 psu 가량의 균질한 특성을 보였다. WE03이 생성된 후 이듬해인 2004년에 대한해협 서수도를 통해 동해로 유입되는 해수의 양이 평년에 비해 많았으나 WE14가 생성된 후 이듬해인 2015년에는 대한해협 서수도를 통해 동해로 유입되는 해수의 양이 평년에 비해 많지 않았다. 이에서 대마난류가 난수성 에디에 열과 염을 공급하지만, 난수성 에디의 장기 지속에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있다. 두 난수성 에디는 울릉도 부근에서 1년 6개월 이상 유지되었는데, 두 에디의 이동경로에 있어 특별한 공통점은 보이지 않았다. 울릉분지 부근에서는 동한난류의 사행 등으로 크고 작은 에디가 계속 생성된다. 장기간 존속하는 난수성 에디는 특별한 외적 요인에 의해서 생성되는 것이 아니라, 동한난류 또는 동한난류가 사행하는 과정에서 생성된 에디와의 상호작용을 통해 생성된 것으로 보인다. 동한난류가 평년에 비해 북상했던 시기에 장기간 지속된 난수성 에디가 항상 발생하지는 않았다는 점이 위와 같은 결론을 뒷받침한다.

To investigate a relation between fine scale eddies and particle dispersion in a near-wall turbulence, direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow laden particle are performed for $Re_{\tau}$=180. The motions of 0,8 million particles are calculated for several particle response times ($t_p$) which is the particle response time based on stokes’ friction law. The number density of particles has a tendency to increase with approaching the near-wall regions ($y^+$<20) except for cases of very small and large particle response times (i.e. $t_p$=0.02 and 15). Near the wall, the behavior and distribution of particles are deeply associated with the fine scale eddies, and are dependent on particle response times and a distance from the wall. The Stokes number that causes preferential distribution in turbulence is changed by a distance from the wall. The influential Stokes number based on the Burgers' vortex model is derived by using the time scale of the fine scale eddies. The influential Stokes number is also dependent on a distance from the wall and shows large value in the buffer layer.

To find out generating mechanism of eddies in the polar frontal zone of the East Sea, we carried out a series of numerical experiments using the nonlinear $1^{1/2}-layer$ model allowing the effect of the polar front. We assumed the polar front at about $39^{\circ}N$ in zonal direction with the cold water region in the northern part and the warm water region in the southern part of the model ocean. To examine the effect of the frontal motion without the influence of the Tsushima Current from the beginning of the geostrophic adjustment, the initial state of the model ocean was assumed motionless. Eastward current was caused by the geostrophic adjustment process in the polar frontal zone that induced a steady northward coastal current along the Korean coast to satisfy the mass continuity. The overshooting of this coastal current acted as an initial disturbance of the zonal flow field which caused meanders and eddies. The spatial scales of eddies were in good agreement with the baroclinic instability theory.

In order to understand the tidal current and mean flow at the west channel of Yeoja Bay in the South Sea of Korea, numerical model experiments and vorticity analysis were carried out. The currents flow north at flood and south at ebb respectively and have the reversing form in the west channel. Topographical eddies are found in the surroundings of Dunbyong Island in the east of the channel. The flood currents flow from the waters near Naro Islands through the west channel and the coastal waters near Geumo Islands through the east channel. The ebb currents from the Yeoja Bay flow out along the west and the east channels separately. The south of Nang Island have weak flows because the island is located in the rear of main tidal stream. Currents are converged at ebb and diverged at flood in the northwest of Jeokgum Island. Tidal current ellipses show reversing form in the west channel but a kind of rotational form in the east channel. As the results of tide induced mean flows, cyclonic and anticyclonic topographical eddies at the northern tip but eddies with opposite spin at the southern tip are found in the west channel of Yeoja Bay. The topographical eddies around the islands and narrow channels are created from the vorticity formed at the land shore by the friction between tidal currents and the west channel.

Some features of vertical structure of the frontal interaction zone of the warm Kuroshio Current and cold Oyashio Current are known from 1930 from analysis of ship data. Ship data however do not allow carrying out the area detailed survey opposite to satellite infrared (IR) observations which possess by high spatial and temporal resolution. Analysis of NOAA AVHRR IR images demonstrated that process of formation and development of the Kuroshio warm core rings is highly complex. They are formed as a result of development of anticyclonic meanders of the warm Kuroshio waters and spin off them from the current. Joint analysis of thermal infrared images and altimetry data has also indicated that interaction of eddies to the frontal zone plays a crucial role in formation of large eddies moving to the Southern Kuril region.

Due to the instability of the EKWC, the oceanic conditions in the East Sea are affected by the fluctuations of the moving paths of the TWC, polar fronts, and warm eddies. In particular, warm eddies play an important role in spreading the surface water of the East Sea from its southern coastal region to its interior region (Isoda, 1994). However, the fluctuation characteristics of the meandering TWC and the warm eddies in the East Sea are not yet known due to the instability of the TWC. Hideaki(1999) showed that the moving paths and features of the TWC in the coastal regions of Japan were not constant. (omitted)

Temperature data observed by NERDA and the satellite infrared imagery off the east coast of Korea from 1994 to 1998 for 5 years were analyzed to study the distribution, temporal change, and structure of mesoscale eddies appearing almost permanently off the east coast of Korea. Typically, the eddy distribution can be characterized by two cases; two-eddy case and three-eddy case. In 1995 and 1996, there were only two eddies, one northeast of Sokcho and the other around the Ulleung Island. In 1994, 1997 and 1998, three eddies were located off Wonsan, Sokcho and Youngduk. For two-eddy case, the Ulleung Eddy surrounded the Ulleung Island, whereas this eddy is located south of the island in three-eddy case.
