Abstract

Water mass classification was conducted using the data of 1985 and 1986 in the East China Sea and the Korea Strait. Kuroshio water (type K) and mixed water (type I) were broadly distributed at 50 m depth in winter and spring, and mixed waters (type I to IV) were distributed in summer and autumn. At 100 m depth of the East China Sea, and mixed water (type I) was broadly distributed in winter and spring, and mixed waters (type I to III) were in summer, and type I was in autumn. Water mass in summer is the most influenced from the Chinese coastal water. In the Korea Strait, the Kuroshio water (type K) was the main water mass in winter and spring, and mixed waters (type I to IV) were in summer and autumn. If temperatures are corrected to remove the cooling effect from the atmosphere, the Kuroshiowater region was diminished, however the mixed water region was expanded in winter and spring. This shows that although the Kuroshio water appears to be a main water mass of the East China Sea and the Korea Strait in winter andspring, in reality the mixed water (type I) which is slightly changed from the Kuroshio water (type K) widely distributed. The tongue-shaped distribution of low density surface water indicates that the water mixed with the Chinese coastal water flows to the Korea Strait and the Okinawa in summer.

대한해협과 동중국해에서 1985년과 1986년에 관측한 수온, 염분자료를 사용하여 수괴를 분석하였다. 대한해협과 동중국해 수심 50m에서의 수괴 분포 특성은, 겨울과 봄철에는 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K) 및 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴I), 여름과 가을철에는 대륙 연안수의 영향을 많이 받은 혼합수(수괴 I${\sim}$IV)의 수괴분포가 넓게 나타났다. 겨울과 봄에 수심 loom의 동중국해는 주로 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K) 및 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 넓게 분포하고 있었다. 여름에는 혼합수(수괴 I${\sim}$III)가 널리 나타나 연중 여름에 가장 혼합이 많이 된 수괴가 분포하고 있는 것이 특징이었다. 가을에는 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 주요 수괴였다. 대한해협에서는 겨울과 봄에는 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K), 여름과 가을에는 혼합수(수괴 I${\sim}$IV)가 주로 분포하고 있었다. 겨울과 봄철에 대기로부터의 냉각에 의한 보정을 하면,쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K)의 분포해역이 줄어든 대신에 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)의 분포 해역이 늘어났다. 즉, 동중국해와 대한해협에서 겨울과 봄에 주로 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K)가 분포하는 것처럼 보이지만,실제는 약간 변질된 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 넓게 분포하고 있는 것이다. 계절별 해황특성으로 여름철에 표층 저밀도수의 분포가 대한해협과 오끼나와 쪽으로 향하는 두 갈래 혀 모양의 형태를 나타내고 있었다. 이것은 중국대륙 연안수와 혼합된 저밀도 표층수의 흐름이 대한해협과 동중국해 동남쪽으로 향하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.
