Abstract

Using field observations, this study estimated the total weight and types of marine debris along the coast of Jinu Island in the Nakdong River Estuary after typhoons Usagi and Nari had passed. A numerical wave model was used to calculate the spatial wave height distribution at the time of the typhoons' passage. This study found that the total accumulation rate of marine debris deposited on the coast after the two typhoons had passed was about $5,769.86\;kg/km^2/day$ at this site, which was 14.42 times as high as that in normal weather. The wave height distribution in the sea off Jinu Island, based on numerical modeling, was $4.1{\sim}3.5\;m$, which was 1.0-2.5 times greater than for the case of other islands. Therefore, it is likely that the concentration of wave energy led to the deposition of marine debris.

본 연구는 최근 우리나라에 영향을 미친 태풍 우사기(USAGI)와 나리(NARI) 내습시 낙동강 진우도 해안쓰레기량을 조사하여 그의 양, 종류 및 구성 성분을 평가하고, 수치모형실험을 통한 태풍 내습 파랑분포와의 상관성을 비교하였다. 그 결과에 따르면, (1) 태풍 내습시 낙동강 하구 진우도 해안쓰레기는 $5,769/86kg/km^2/day$의 퇴적속도로 퇴적되는 것으로 산정되었다. 이는 평상시보다 약 14.42 배 많은 양이다. (2) 진우도 전면해역에서의 태풍 내습시 파고분포는 4.1-3.5m였으며, 진우도 전면해역이 도요등 전면해역보다 파고비가 약 1.0배에서 2.5배 상승하여, 파랑에너지의 집중도가 크고, 보다 많은 양의 부유물질(쓰레기)의 밀집이 예상된다.
