Abstract

CTD measurements were conducted in the Nakdong estuary on the several sections or along-plume and cross-plume directions in 1993 and 1994. Internal Froude number Fi=0.22-0.35 in ebb tides and 0.14 in flood tides suggest that Nakdong river plume may go farther seawards in the along-plume direction with little mixing with the adjacent sea water after the construction of Nakdong river barrier. From Dadae-Po to Gaduk-Do section of cross-plume direction, three cores of low salinity were found. The main plume outflows from the newly made channel by cutting Ulsuk-Do after the construction of barrier. The low salinity core found near Gaduk-Do is the plume patch advected by tidal currents. Rossby deformation radius varied with the tidal cycle so that Coriolis effect is strengthened in flood tides to deepen the isohalines westwards to the Gaduk-Do site. Internal wavelike shape was found in the section of cross-plume direction during ebb tides. Richardson number of the section suggests the possibility of forming internal wave but more precise observations are necessary.

1993년과 1994년에 낙동강 하구둑 하류부에서 낙동강수 플륨의 방향과 가로지르는 방향을 따라서 몇개 단면을 설정하여 CTD관측을 행하였다. 하구둑 건설전에는 낙동강수는 낙조시 상하의 entrainment혼합이 활발히 일어나 장자등과 나무싯등 부근에 이르기도 전에 완전히 혼합되어 빠져나갔지만 본 조사자료에서는 낙동강수는 표층에서 1m 정도의 깊이의 플륨의 형태로 장자등과 나무싯등 사이를 빠져나가 훨씬 남쪽까지 내려감을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 하구둑에서 조시에 따라 주로 낙조동안 강수가 방출이 되고 낙조류의 방향과 플륨의 방향이 어느 정도 일치하기 때문이며 또한 internal Froude number가 썰물시 0.22- 0.35, 밀물시 0.14로서 상하층의 성층상태가 썰물과 밀물시 모두 아주 안정적인 값을 나타내는 것으로서도 알 수 있다. 플륨을 가로지르는 방향의 다대포와 가덕도남단를 잇는 단면에서 3개의 저염축이 발견되었는데 가장 저엄축은 주된 플륨을 나타내며 하구둑 건설 후 을숙도를 설계하여 새로 만든 수로를 나와 장자등과 나무싯등을 거쳐 나옴을 알 수 있다. 가덕도 부근의 저염은 patch 형태로 밀물에 의해 이류된 강수플륨의 영향이다. Coriolis 효과를 나타내는 Rossby deformation radius는 조시에 따라 달라지는데 창조시에 Coriolis 효과가 강하게 나타나 가덕도 부근에서 등염분선을 가덕도쪽으로 깊어지게 한다. Internal wave형태의 형상이 썰물시 단면에 나타나 Richardson number를 구하여 그 가능성을 확인하였는데 즘 더 자세한 관측 및 분석이 필요하다.
