A fine grid two-dimensional $M_2$ tidal model of the East China Sea

동지나해의 세격자 2차원 $M_2$조석모형

The previous two-dimensional non-linear tidal model of the East China Sea(Choi, 1980) has been further refined to resolve the flow over the ocntinental shelf in more detail. The mesh resolution of the present finite-difference grid system used is 4 minutes latitude by 5 minutes longitude over the entire shelf. The developed fine grid two-dimensional model was utilized to reproduce the $M_2$ tide and $M_4$ tide for the East China Sea contnental shelf. There is general agreement between the model results and the current observation made in the Eastern Yellow Sea, which supports the calculated tidal regime over the shelf. Some preliminary results on maximum bottom stress and tidally-induced residual current were also examined and discussed.

육붕상의 유동현상을 상세하게 해상시키기 위해 기 보고된 동지나해의 2차원 비선형조석모형(최, 1980)을 위도상 4분, 경도상 5분의 격자간격을 갖는 유한차분격자체계로 개선시켰다. 수립된 세격자모형은 동지나해의 $M_2$ 조석 및 $M_4$조석을 재현시키는데 일차적으로 이용되었는데 산정된 조석체계의 신뢰성은 모형산정치와 황해동측의 조석관측 결과와의 전반적인 일치로서 입증되었다. 육붕전체에 걸친 해저최대마찰응력 및 조석항류의 분포가 제시되었으며 또한 토의되었다.
