Abstract

The distributions of sea surface temperature across the Cheju Strait and the Korea Strait have been measured by using a thermometer installed on board No.1 Cheju, a ferry that operates regularly between Pusan and Seogwipo. The data from 14 October 1991 to 15 August 1992 were analyzed in this paper. A clear temperature front is wormed at the adjacent sea of Geomundo, and its position is not fixed and moves north and south. The slow northward movement of the front can easily be traced, but the southward movement from March to October is obscure. The temperature contrast in the Cheju Soait and the Korea Strait is very we in this period. Some periodical fluctuations with a period of several tens of days are observed in the region of the temperature front from November to February. This fluctuation seems to be caused by winter heat flux exchange and the strong southeastward wind force. The result shows that continous observation of the sea surface temperature distribution across the Cheju Strait and the Korea Strait yields a good method for monitoring the presence of Tsushima Warm Current and the fluctuations of South Korea Coastal Water. The formation and structure of shelf front in the Cheju Strait and the Korea Strait was analysed based on the detailed oceanographic data observed during the period of 1990-1992. The analysis shows that well-defined fronts were formed through yearly around the Chuja Island, particularly, in summer. In nature, its structure and formation position can be changed easily from year % year and by season. But, in region of the Korea Strait this front is relatively weak.

서귀포와 부산사이를 취항하고 있는 “카페리 제 주1호”에 수온계를 설치하여 1990년 10월 부터 10 개월간 제주해협과 대한해협을 횡단하는 해역에서 표면수온의 관측을 실시하였다. 그 결과 거문도 부근의 해역에서 뚜렷한 수온전선이 형성되고 있 으나, 그 위치는 약간의 변동성을 냐타내고 있었 다. 전선이 북으로 이동할 때는 비교적 느리고 뚜 렷하나 남으로 이동할 때는 전선구조가 분명하지 않았다. 수온전선에는 수십일 주기를 가진 단주기 변동이 관측된다. 이 변동은 동계 강한 북서계절 풍의 영향과 열이동의 효과로 인한 것으로 사료된 다 표변수온의 수평구배가 3월부터 10월에 걸쳐 매우 약하고, 그 이외의 시기에는 확실하다. 이러 한 결과는 제주해협과 대한해협을 횡단하는 표면 수온의 연속적 인 관측이 한국남안수의 소장과 대 마난류수의 출현 동을 모니터하는데 매우 유효함 을 나타내고 있다. 제주해협과 대한해협에서의 해양관측을 통하여 추자도 부근 해역에서 형성되는 연안전선의 구조 를 파악하였다. 이 전선은 연중 형성되고 있으나, 계절과 연에 따라 그 위치 및 분포형상이 매우 다 르다 이같은 연안전선이 대한해협에서는 매우 약 하게 형성되고 있었다.
