Abstract
Using the data observed on the Oshoro-maru from November 4 to November 12, 1989 in the East China Sea, the oceanographic conditions were investigated. The results are as follows: The oceanographic condition of surface layer was divided into two regions. One was the Tsushima Current Waters and the other was the China Coastal Waters. The oceanic front was formed between above two waters. Tsushima Current Waters had high temperature ranging 22~24$^{\circ}C$, high salinity ranging 33.5~34.5$\textperthousand$ and low D.O less than 4.5ml/l. And China Coastal Waters had low temperature ranging 18~2$0^{\circ}C$, low salinity less than 23.0$\textperthousand$ and high D.O ranging 4.0~5.0ml/l. In the case of the bottom layer, Tsushima Current Waters and China Coastal Waters appeared the same as the surface layer. In addition, the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Waters and the Southern Bottom Waters of East China Sea distributed together with two surface waters above. The was temperature ranging 15~19$^{\circ}C$, salinity 34.5$\textperthousand$ and low D.O ranging 2.0~3.5ml/l and that was temperature less than 1$0^{\circ}C$, salinity less than 33.3$\textperthousand$ and high D,O greater than 4.5ml/l. The waters of intermediate characteristics between China Coastal Waters and Tsushima Current Waters seem to be resulted from the mixing occurred between the above tow waters, and it had temperature of 20.5~22.$0^{\circ}C$, salinity of 32.3~33.3$\textperthousand$.
1989년 11월 4~12일의 동지나해에서 관측한 자료를 사용하여 해황을 조사하였다. 그 결과 표층의 해황은 쓰시마 난류수와 중국 대륙 연안수로 대별되고 그 사이에는 강한 전선이 형성되고 있다. 쓰시마 난류수는 수온 22~24$^{\circ}C$, 염분 33.5~34.5$\textperthousand$의 고온.고염수로 용존산소는 4.5ml/l 이하로 낮았다. 그리고 중국 대륙 연안수는 수온 18~2$0^{\circ}C$, 염분 32.0$\textperthousand$ 이하인 저온.저염수로 용존산소는 4.5~5.0ml/l로 높게 나타났다. 저층에도 역시 표층과 같이 쓰시마 난류수와 중국 대륙 연안수가 존재하였다. 이 외에도 북쪽에는 수온 1$0^{\circ}C$ 이하, 염분 33.0$\textperthousand$ 내외, 용존 산소는 4.5ml/l 이상의 고산소수인 황해 저층냉수가 분포하고, 동남쪽에는 수온 15~19$^{\circ}C$ 염분 34.5$\textperthousand$, 용존산소는 2.0~3.5ml/l의 저산소수인 동지나해 남부 저층수도 분포하였다. 그리고 중국 대륙 연안수와 쓰시마 난류수의 중간 특성을 나타내는 수온 20.5~22.$0^{\circ}C$, 염분 32.3~33.3$\textperthousand$의 물은 중국 대륙 연안수와 쓰시마 난류가 혼합된 결과라고 판단된다.
