Abstract

Satellite sea surface temperature (SST) composites provide important data for numerical forecasting models and for research on global warming and climate change. In this study, six types of representative SST composite database were collected from 2007 to 2018 and the characteristics of spatial structures of SSTs were analyzed in seas around the Korean Peninsula. The SST composite data were compared with time series of in-situ measurements from ocean meteorological buoys of the Korea Meteorological Administration by analyzing the maximum value of the errors and its occurrence time at each buoy station. High differences between the SST data and in-situ measurements were detected in the western coastal stations, in particular Deokjeokdo and Chilbaldo, with a dominant annual or semi-annual cycle. In Pohang buoy, a high SST difference was observed in the summer of 2013, when cold water appeared in the surface layer due to strong upwelling. As a result of spectrum analysis of the time series SST data, daily satellite SSTs showed similar spectral energy from in-situ measurements at periods longer than one month approximately. On the other hand, the difference of spectral energy between the satellite SSTs and in-situ temperature tended to magnify as the temporal frequency increased. This suggests a possibility that satellite SST composite data may not adequately express the temporal variability of SST in the near-coastal area. The fronts from satellite SST images revealed the differences among the SST databases in terms of spatial structure and magnitude of the oceanic fronts. The spatial scale expressed by the SST composite field was investigated through spatial spectral analysis. As a result, the high-resolution SST composite images expressed the spatial structures of mesoscale ocean phenomena better than other low-resolution SST images. Therefore, in order to express the actual mesoscale ocean phenomenon in more detail, it is necessary to develop more advanced techniques for producing the SST composites.

위성 해수면온도 합성장은 수치예보모델의 입력 자료 및 지구온난화와 기후 변화 연구에 활용되는 중요한 자료이다. 본 연구에서는 2007년부터 2018년까지 6종류의 위성 해수면온도 합성장 자료를 수집하여 한반도 주변 해역에서 각 해수면온도 합성장 자료의 공간 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 기상청 해양기상부이 실측 수온 자료와 해수면온도 합성장 자료의 시계열을 비교하고 오차의 최대값 및 최대값이 나타나는 시기를 분석하였다. 황해 연안에 위치한 덕적도와 칠발도 부이에서 위성 해수면온도 합성장과 실측 수온의 차는 1년주기 또는 반년주기의 높은 변동성을 보였다. 포항 부이에서는 강한 용승에 의해 냉수대가 발생한 2013년 여름철에 높은 수온 차가 나타났다. 해수면온도 자료의 시계열을 활용하여 스펙트럼 분석을 수행한 결과, 일별 위성 해수면온도 합성장은 약 1개월 이상의 주기에서는 실측 자료와 유사한 스펙트럼 에너지를 보였다. 반면 위성 해수면온도 합성장과 실측 수온의 스펙트럼 에너지의 차는 시간 주파수가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 위성 해수면온도 합성장 자료가 연안 부근 수온의 시간적 변동성을 적절하게 표현하지 못하였을 가능성을 시사한다. 위성 해수면온도 영상의 해양 전선은 공간 구조와 강도의 측면에서 위성 해수면 온도 합성장 자료 간 차이점을 보였다. 해수면온도 합성장에서 표현되는 공간 규모 또한 공간 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 조사하였다. 그 결과 고해상도 해수면온도 합성 영상이 저해상도 해수면온도 영상보다 상대적으로 중규모 해양 현상의 공간 구조를 더 잘 표현하였다. 따라서 실제 중규모 해양 현상을 보다 구체적으로 표현할 수 있는 위성 해수면온도 합성장 생산을 위한 고도의 기술 개발이 필요하다.
