Abstract

This study compared the sea surface wind pattern between model results from KMA operational model (RDAPS) and retrieved results from QuickSCAT in the 2006-2007 year. The mean spatial distributions of sea surface wind of RDAPS and QuikSCAT show the prominent seasonal patterns of summer and winter season adjacent to Korean Peninsular. The magnitude of sea surface wind predicted by RDAPS is weaker than that of QuikSCAT in most north Pacific ocean. In summer of 2006 positive bias with the maximum of 1 m/s is appeared in broad region of north Pacific ocean, however. the positive bias region is decreased to small region in 2007. Even though the predicted sea wind by RDAPS is stronger(weaker) than observed one by QuikSCAT in summer (winter), the RDAPS model simulate well the sea surface wind adjacent to Korean peninsular.
