To investigate the characteristics of tidal currents and water circulation in the coastal waters off the Taean Peninsula, tidal currents and sea levels were measured at the study area from 1998 to 2004. In the central waterway to the south of Changan Sand Ridge, mean speed of tidal currents and residual currents were 74.0cm/s, 17.8cm/s respectively; the dominant residual currents flowed northeastward, and the amplitudes of semi-diurnal components $(M_2,\;S_2)$ were larger than diurnal components $(O_1,\;K_1)$. The flood and ebb tidal currents were northeastward and southwestward, respectively, and each period was about 6 hours for them, which was consistent with the period of sea levels at the study area. In the coastal region near Hakampo, Taean, mean velocities of tidal currents and residual currents were 46.1cm/s, 30.8cm/s respectively, and the dominant residual currents flowed southwestward. The amplitudes of shallow water constituents $(M_4,\;MS_4)$ were relatively laige, which were weaker to the northeastern coastal region off Mineodo. The northeastward flow continued for about $2{\sim}3$ hours, while the southwestward flow continued for about $9{\sim}10$ hours near Hakampo during the tidal period. Tidal currents flowed northeastward in the central area of the waterway during the period from the Low Water Level (LWL) to the High Water Level (HWL). While the currents in the coastal region flowed northeastward for the first 3 hours after the LWL, southwestward counter-currents flowed between 3 and 6 hours after the LWL. During the period from the HWL to the LWL, the dominant currents flowed southwestward in the study area except to the northeastern coastal region off Mineodo. Along the shorelines, the counter-currents flowed northward between 4 and 6 hours after the HWL. It seems that the counter-currents near the coastal region are caused by the topography and the geography of the shorelines at the study area.

우리나라 주변 해역별 조석특성을 쉽게 보기 위해 정의된 비조화상수를 고찰하였다. 국립해양조사원의 표준항 가운데 20개 조위관측소의 자료로부터 계산한 조화상수 값을 기반으로 비조화 상수를 계산하였다. 이 가운데 표준항의 관측 및 예보조위자료를 이용하여 임의지점의 조위를 개략적으로 추산하기 위해 사용되는 개정수(조시차 및 조고비)는 천해분조가 강하게 발달하는 해역에서는 적용하는데 한계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기존의 조화분해 소프트웨어로부터 구한 표준시 자오선기준 지각(phase lag, 또는 epoch)에서 로컬 지각(local phase lag)을 구하는데 사용하고 있는 p 값을 관습적으로 통용되고 있는 정수(integer)형의 첨가수(suffix)대신 a/15(a=각 분조의 각속도)를 사용하는 방안을 제시하였다.

목포와 제주를 위시한 서남해안에서 최근 예측 고조위가 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 조화분석을 통한 자료분석 결과 서남해안 전반에 걸쳐 평균해수면이 뚜렷하게 증가하는 반면 반일주조의 진폭은 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 태양연주조(Sa분조)의 진폭이 증가한 것으로 나타나고 있으며 이에 따라 하절기의 고조위가 더욱 상승한 것으로 확인되었다. 21세기 들어 RUSA와 MAEMI등 대형 태풍의 발생이 잦아지고 있어 1990년대에 비해 서남해안에서의 최대해일고가 크게 증가하였다. 또한 이들은 7월${\sim}$9월에 집중되고 있어 하절기 고조위 상승과 함께 이상고조위 발생 가능성을 더욱 우려스럽게 하고 있다. 특히 목포해역은 하구언과 방조제 건설이후 이상고조 발생 가능성이 현격히 높아진 해역이므로 더욱 그러한 실정이며, 평균해수면 상승경향이 매우 뚜렷한 제주해역 역시 향후 이상고조 발생 가능성이 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Seasonal changes of tide signal(s), temperature, salinity and current were studied during the years 2004-2005 in the northernmost Gulf of Aqaba, which is under developmental activities, to obtain scientific bases for best management and sustainability. Spectrum analysis revealed permanent signals of tide measurements during all seasons, which represented semidiurnal and diurnal barotropic tides. The other signal periods of 8.13, 6.10-6.32, 4.16 and 1.02-1.05 h were not detected in all seasons, which were related to shallow water compound and overtides of principle solar and lunar constituent and to seiches generated in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. Spatial and temporal distribution of temperature, salinity and density showed significant differences between months in the coastal and offshore region and no significant differences among the coastal sites, between the surface and bottom waters and between coastal and offshore waters. Therefore, the temporal and spatial variation of water properties in the northernmost Gulf of Aqaba behave similarly compared to other parts. The coastal current below 12 m depth was weak $(3-6\;cms^{-1})$ and fluctuated from east-northeastward to west-southwestward (parallel to the shoreline), which may be related to the effect of bottom topography and/or current density due to differential cooling between eastern and western parts in the study area, and wind-induced upwelling and downwelling in the eastern and western side, respectively. The prevailing northerly winds and stratification conditions during summer were the main causes of the southward current at 6 and 12 m depths with average speed of 28 and $12cms^{-1}$ respectively.
