A seasonal circulation patterns in the Chinju Bay (CB) were suggested from the observed data at two channels of the Noryang Channel (NC) and the Daebang Channel (DC) during the period from 2005 to 2008. The water circulation in the CB is mainly controlled through the NC and the DC. In winter, tidal current at the surface layer of the NC flows from the Kwangyang Bay (KB) eastward into the CB, whereas the current at the bottom layer flows from the CB westward into the KB. In summer, tidal current at the surface layer of the NC goes from the CB westward into the KB. The flow system at the NC shows the typical pattern of thermohaline circulation. In spring, tidal current at the surface layer of the eastern part of the DC flows out into southeastern open ocean. However, in summer, the current in the western part of the DC flows into the CB through the DC. Also, the velocity in the western part of DC is 50~70 cm/sec stronger than that in the eastern part. To obtain better understanding on the seasonal circulation pattern in the NC and the DC, additionally the detailed studies on the field measurements and three dimensional numerical modeling are needed.

광양만의 해수교환은 주로 여수해만을 통해 이루어지고, 만의 동측에는 노량수로를 통해 진주만으로의 해수교환이 일어나고 있으며, 만의 북측에는 섬진강을 끼고 있다. 광양항 건설 전 만내의 수심은 약 10 m 이내로 얕았으며, 만의 입구인 여수해만과 노량수로에서의 수심은 약 20 m 이상이었다. 광양만은 1982년 광양제철소의 건설을 시점으로 하여 광양항의 확장 개발, 폐기물처리장 건설 등으로 인한 매립이 진행되었다. 특히, 섬진강 하구는 광양만 개발 전에는 넓은 조간대 퇴적층의 발달로 다양한 생태계환경을 유지하고 있었으나, 광양항 건설 및 하구에서 모래 준설 등으로 인해 근래에 와서는 해수의 역류가 심각한 상태이다. 1982년 광양제철소 건설이후 계속적으로 광양만을 개발함으로써 해양환경에 큰 변화가 발생하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 광양만 개발 전·후의 조석 및 해수유동의 변화특성을 해석하기 위해 조석 및 조류에 대한 현장관측과 3차원 해수유동 수치모형실험을 수행한 후 남해도를 둘러싸고 있는 광양만, 진주만 등의 조석 및 조류의 변동특성을 해석하였다. 광양만 개발 전·후의 해수유동의 변동특성을 해석하기 위해 김 등(1999)에 의해 개발된 3차원 layer·level 혼성 해수유동 모델을 광양만, 진주만을 포함하는 남해도 주변해역에 적용하여 30일간의 수치계산결과를 이용하여 해수유동의 변동특성을 해석하였다. 모델에서 격자간격은 동서-남북방향 동일하게 200 m, 시간간격은 20 sec, 계산영역은 동서방향으로 52 km, 남북방향으로 65 km인 260×325 격자체계로 구성 운영하였다. 외해 개방경계에서 조위는 수로국에서 관측한 조위와 본 연구에서 관측한 조위를 보간하여 사용하였다. 광양만 개발전·후의 조류의 변동특성을 수치해석한 결과 여수해만에서는 광만만 개발전이 개발 후보다 유속이 강하게 나타났으나, 노량수로에서는 개발 후가 개발전보다 유속이 훨씬 강하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 현상은 광양만 개발로 광양만으로 유입되는 조량이 감소함으로 인해 여수해만에서는 유속이 감소한 것으로 생각된다. 노량수로에서 개발 후가 개발전보다 유속이 증가한 것은 여수해만을 통해 유입한 해수가 개발 후에는 광양만의 해수면적 감소로 광양만의 서측으로 유입하는 조량이 감소한 반면에 광양만의 북측(섬진강 하구) 또는 동측(노량수로)으로 유입하는 조량이 많기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Temporal and spatial variations of surface water temperature in Jinju Bay for the period of 2010~2011 were studied using the data from temperature monitoring buoys deployed at 17 stations in the south coast of Korea. Water temperature shows the maximum late in January and the minimum early in August. Seasonal variation of water temperatures at the north part of the bay is smaller than the middle and the south. In summer, the lowest and the highest of maximum water temperature are distributed around Jijok Channel which is located at the south of the bay. The fluctuations of water temperatures at Noryang and Daebang Channel are smaller than others because of vertical mixing caused by passage of strong tidal currents. Wind and strong currents affect on the stratification of the surface water layer near Daebang Channel. High temperatures come in frequently around the north area when eastward constant flows appear at neap tide as blowing westerly in the springtime at Noryang Channel. Spectral analyses of temperature records show significant peaks at 7~20 day periods at Noryang Channel, 7~20 day and semidiurnal at the west coast of Changsun Island and Jijok Channel and 7~20 day and diurnal at the middle of the bay. Temperature fluctuation at Noryang Channel shows high coherence and has leading phase with those at other stations in the bay. However, the phase of temperature fluctuation at Noryang Channel falls behind that at Daebang Channel. Daebang Channel has an influence on the temperature fluctuation only at the west and middle part of the bay. Cross-correlation analyses for the temperature fluctuation show that Jinju Bay could be classified into six areas; Noryang Channel, the area of convergence and divergence at the north, Daebang Channel, the west coast of Changsun Island, the mixing area at the middle of the bay and the south inside of the bay, respectively.

At the center of the Noryang waterway, the Gwangyang bay area (including the Yeosu Strait) is located at the west, and the Jinju bay area (including Gangjin bay and Sacheon bay) is located at the east. Freshwater from several rivers is flowing into the study area. In particula,r the event of flood, great quantities freshwater flow from Seomjingang (Seomjin river) into the Gwangyang bay area and from Gahwacheon (discharge from Namgang Dam) into the Jinju bay. The Gwangyang and Jinju bay are connected to the Noryang waterway. In addition, freshwater from Seomjingang and Gahwacheon also affect through the Noryang waterway. In this study, we elucidated the characteristics of the tidal exchange rate and residence time for dry season and flood season on 50 frequency, considering freshwater from 51 rivers, including Seomjingang and Gahwacheon, using a particle tracking method. We conducted additional experiments to determine the effect of freshwater from Seomjingang and Gahwacheon during flooding. In both the dry season and flood season, the result showed that the particles released from the Gwangyang bay moved to the Jinju bay through the Noryang waterway. However, comparatively small amount of particles moved from the Jinju bay to the Gwangyang bay. Each experimental case, the sea exchange rate was 44.40~67.21% in the Gwangyang bay and 50.37~73.10% in the Jinju bay, and the average residence time was 7.07~15.36days in the Gwangyang bay and 6.45~12.75days in the Jinju bay. Consequently the sea exchange rate increased and the residence time decreased during flooding. A calculation of cross-section water flux over 30 days for 7 internal and 5 external areas, indicated that the main essential flow direction of the water flux was the river outflow water from Seomjingang flow through the Yeosu strait to the outer sea and from Gahwacheon flow through Sacheon bay, Jinju bay and the Daebang waterway to the outer sea.

In this study, a numerical particle tracking experiment was conducted to assess the distribution characteristics of freshwater exclusion resulting from the discharge of Gahwa Stream into Sacheon, Jinju, and Gangjin bays, located downstream of the Namgang Dam. The number of particles discharged into Noryang Channel, Daebang Channel, and Changseon Strait was compared by releasing 1000 particles through Gahwa Stream under three discharge conditions: no discharge, discharge during rainfall, and discharge during flood. Evidently, the percentage of particles in the Noryang Channel increased, whereas that in the Daebang Channel decreased as the discharge from the Gahwa Stream increased. Approximately 95% of the material located downstream of the Gahwa Stream generally escaped through the Daebang Channel. However, as the discharge from the Namgang Dam increased due to rainfall, the percentage of particles in the Noryang Channel increased, reaching 45.5% during floods.

The Gwangyang Bay, southern coast of Korea, is characterized by its semi-enclosed basin morphology and mesotidal regime. The Seomjin River, in particular, has a complex delta depositional system at its mouth, which has approximately 44$\textrm{km}^2$ in the total surface area. Various sedimentary environments, such as delta, intertidal flat, subtidal zone and major tidal channels are recognized based on sediment facies and depositional regime. However, the essential intertidal flat environments are developed mainly in the western parts of the bay which is generally low in energy, i, e. tidal current and wave action.

The ECOM3D is used to study the circulation characteristics and density current from the Sumjin River runoff in the Kwangyang Estuarine System, South Sea, Korea. Annual mean value of $120m^3/s$ was imposed from the Sumjin River. The numerical model results in terms of tidal height, current and salinity field show satisfactory with skill scores over 90%. The current velocity showed the range of 1~2.5 m/s during flood and ebb phases. In particular, very strong flow occur in the narrow Channels of Noryang, Daebang and Changson exceeding over 2.0 m/s. The tidal residual currents in the various locations in the Kwangyang Estuary showed the range of 1~21 cm/s, The density-driven current through the Yeosu and Noryang Channels are about 12 cm/s and 4 cm/s, respectively. The current path through the Yeosu Channel is deflected toward west Bank. Based on budget analysis of the volume flux, the volume flux through the Yeosu Channel and the Noryang Channel were estimated to be 97.4 and $22.1m^3/s$ accounting for the 81.5% and 18.5% of total flux, respectively.
