해양 혼합층은 해양-대기 간의 상호작용을 통해서 기후 변화 뿐만 아니라, 식물성 플랑크톤 분포와 같은 생물학적 측면에도 큰 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 장단기 기후변동에 많은 영향을 주는 북동아시아 근해 내에서의 혼합층 깊이의 시공간 변동을 분석하였다. 기존에 해양 관측 자료가 절대적으로 부족했던 점을 극복하기 위해 2000년부터 전구 해양에서 실시간으로 수집되기 시작한 해양중층부이(ARGO) 자료를 활용하였다. 지금까지 제시되어 온 다양한 해양 혼합층 결정 기준 중 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Levitus et al.(1997)의 기준을 적용하여 북동아시아 근해의 혼합층 깊이를 산출하였으며, 그 변화를 위도, 경도, 해안으로부터의 거리, 계절 등에 따라 분석하였다. 또한 계절적 변화에서 겨울철 해양 혼합층 변화의 역전이 나타나는 지역을 분석하였다. 이와 같은 분석결과는 추후 해양 혼합층 깊이 결정 방법에 대한 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

Withstanding the continuous treat from the typhoon and nasty weather from ocean, the development of the real time monitoring buoy such as ocean wave related monitoring buoy system becomes essential. In this research, the development of the ocean wave monitoring buoy system had been done domestically. The development including the data real-time monitoring (wind, temperature and pressure) added in the buoy, buoy mooring and real-time data communication system. The developed wave monitoring buoy system (drift type, wave direction and wave height type) is expected to meet the demands.

The coastal wave environment is a very important factor that directly affects the change of coastal topography, the habitat of marine life, and the design of offshore structures. In recent years, changes in the wave environment due to climate change are expected, and a trend analysis of the wave environment using available data sets is required. In this paper, significant wave heights which are measured at six ocean buoys (Deokjeokdo, Oeyeondo, Chibaldo, Marado, Pohang, Ullengdo) have been used to analyze long-term trend of normal waves. In advance, the outlier of measured data by Korea Meteorological Administration have been removed using Rosner test. And Pearson correlation analysis between the measured data and ECMWF reanalysis data has been conducted. As a results, correlation coefficient between two data were 0.849~0.938. Meanwhile, Mann-Kendall test has been used to analyze the long-term trend of normal waves. As a results, it was found that there were no trend at Deokjeokdo, Oeyeondo and Chibaldo. However, Marado, Pohang and Ullengdo showed an increasing tendency.

The high wind wave alert has a great impact on ships and maritime service workers navigating in the vicinity of Korea. This study aims to evaluate the appropriateness of the high wind wave alert by comparing and analyzing the observation data of major marine meteorological buoys with the high wind wave alerts in the coastal sea and offshore of the West Sea, South Sea, and the East Sea announced by the Korea Meteorological Administration for the past 11 years(2010-2020). As a result of comparing the daily, monthly, and annual statistics of the high wind wave alert and marine meteorological buoy observation data for each sea area by annual, monthly, and seasonal average, the accuracy of high wind wave alerts was very low across the entire sea area. In particular, it was analyzed that the accuracy in the coastal sea of the South Sea and Jejudo was the lowest in winter. It was confirmed that the accuracy of marine weather forecasts and alerts needs to be improved when considering the effects of the high wind wave alerts on fishing vessels, passenger ships operations and tourism, and marine leisure activities.

The climatological characteristics of coastal zone over the southwestern coast of Korea peninsula were investigated using the data observed by AWS (automatic weather system) and 4 buoy points. Coastal zone is climatologically defined as the region bounded by the distinct contrast of temperature gradient and wind speed across coastline. In the southwest of peninsula four cross-lines consisted of AWS aligned with each buoy were selected as Geojedo buoy line, Geomundo buoy line, Chilbaldo buoy line and Dukjukdo buoy line. Analysis on the diurnal cycle and intra-month variation, monthly mean and maximum value, the temperature gradient with distance between buoy and each station and the accumulative frequency of wind speed were applied to find out the characteristics and the range of coast zone. The maximum ranges of coastal zone vary from offshore to Sanglim (about 34 km distance from coastline) for Geojedo buoy line, to Sunchun (about 52 km) for Geo-mundo buoy line, to Jaeundo (about 27 km) for chilbaldo buoy line and to Yongin (about 65 km) for Dukjukdo buoy line. The modification of coastal zone according to synoptic flow was investigated for the onshore, off-shore and calm cases. The ranges of coastal zone are significantly changed with the distance between 65∼90 km for the case of onshore. In addition, we tried to find out the variation of the wind and temperature and the wind ratio of wind speed at ocean to land stations along Geojedo buoy line during 12∼13 Sep. 2003 affected by typhoon (MAEMI).

The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of wave transformation in the shallow water of the Nakdong River estuary due to variations in air pressure, air temperature, wind speed, and wind direction. We analyzed the correlation between weather factors and wind waves in offshore regions near Geoje Island and the Nakdong River estuary in April and May 2007. The weather and wind wave data were obtained from the automatic ocean observation buoy near Geoje Island operated by the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA). For the estuary region, the wind wave information was the result of field observations, and weather data were obtained from the Busan Meteorological Station. Field observations of water waves in April and May showed that the maximum wave height decreased by about 2.2 m. M oreover, wave height decreased significantly by about 1.3 m due to the reduction in wave energy caused by the water waves propagating from Geoje buoy to the Nakdong River estuary. We conclude that offshore or wind waves coming into the Nakdong River estuary showed considerable height variation due to the prevailing weather conditions, especially wind speed and direction. In particular, headwinds tended to decrease the wave size in inverse proportion to the wind speed.

This paper analyzes the sea state and characteristics during the August 2011 passage of Typhoon Muifa based on data measured at four ocean weather/wave observation stations (buoys) located on the southwestern coast of Korea. When the typhoon arrived in the area approximately 230 km west of Mokpo at 9 PM on August 7, the decrease in air pressure led to increases in sea level of 25.64 cm at the Chilbal-do buoy, 16.43 cm at the Geomun-do buoy, and 9.60 cm at the Geoje-do buoy. The maximum wave height increased at the Geomun-do buoy about seven times faster than at the Chilbal-do buoy. The low water temperature at Chilbaldo during the typhoon passage probably reduced the wave energy. In the face of the oncoming typhoon, the southwest direction of the wind and waves may have been the result of external forces transporting seawater (energy) from the open sea toward the coast. The weather and ocean data from the Mara-do buoy were negatively correlated with those of Chilbal-do, whereas the data from Geomun-do had a positive correlation with those of Geoje-do.

The mini-weather buoy using newly developed Weather Observation Through Ambient Noise (WOTAN) technology is developed. The buoy uses the cellular phone system for communication between the mini-weather buoy and the receiving station. The developed mini-weather buoy was deployed near Kijang and the comparison with land observation station was good: the rms error for wind speed estimation from underwater ambient noise was about 1 m/s. The only shortcoming of developed mini-weather buoy is that the buoy must be within the range of the cellular phone system, but it can be easily solved when satellite phone system is available.

저수지에서 수체의 거동정보는 저수지관리를 위해 매우 중요하며, 이를 수리 및 수질모형에 적용하여 다양한 예측에 활용할 수 있는 기본적인 정보이다. 그러나 저수지 수체의 흐름은 매우 느리고 조사시기에 따라 혹은 수심에 따라 영향을 받으며, 바람 등 외부요인에도 영향을 받게 됨으로 정확한 측정에 많은 어려운 문제가 있다. 따라서 보다 정확한 측정을 위해서는 최신의 기술이 적용되어야 한다. 현장조사에 적용한 저수지 수체거동조사장비(drifter)는 수체의 유동을 관측하는 장치로 GPS 및 Drogue를 장착한 장치가 저수지 수체의 흐름에 따라 이동하면서 위치정보를 무선통신으로 실시간 전송할 수 있도록 만들어진 장치이다. 수체흐름 측정장치는 크게 수체거동정보 생산부이 시스템과 수집서버 및 데이터베이스 서버로 구성되어 있다. 현장 조사시에는 부이에 장착되어 있는 GPS를 통해 현재의 위치가 매번 정해진 시간 간격마다 본체 내부의 메모리에 저장되며, 측정자가 설정한 시간간격으로 위치정보를 수신국으로 전송하도록 구성되어 있다. 수체이동부이의 데이터 수신은 CDMA를 통해 송신된 메일 데이터를 자체적으로 수집하여 데이터형태로 변환한 뒤 실시간으로 표출하고 저장되며, 최대 10개의 부이를 동시에 추적 및 모니터링할 수 있게 구성되어 있다. 본 연구는 용담댐저수지에서 평갈수기 및 풍수기로 구분하여 수체거동을 조사하였다. 평갈수기 조사는 2010년 4월부터 6월까지 총 3차례에 걸쳐 실시하였으며, 풍수기 조사는 8월에 3차례에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 수집된 자료에 의하면 평갈수기 drifter의 평균 속도는 2.25 cm/sec, 최고 속도는 3.46 cm/sec, 최저 속도는 1.15 cm/sec로 나타났으며, 풍수기 조사에서는 평균 속도 2.0 cm/sec, 최고 속도는 2.5 cm/sec, 최저 속도는 1.29 cm/sec로 조사되어 평갈수기와 풍수기간 저수지 수체의 이동속도는 유사한 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 수기별 조사는 보다 더 많은 정보가 필요하며, 수심에 따른 차이도 있을 것으로 판단되어 좀더 다양한 조사가 수행되어야 보다 정확한 결과를 도출할수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
