In this paper, the most important oceangraphic phenomena of the summer season in the East China Sea are reviewed. The hydrographic conditions in the suface layer above the seasonal thermocline are under great influence from solar heating, fresh water runoff mainly from the Yangtze River, and summer wind fields. In the lower layer below the thermocline, several distinct water masses e.g. the Kuroshio surface water, the Western North Pacific Central Water and the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water are intruded in response to the adjustment of the field of mass to the various dynamical processes. The frontal mixing between the intruded Yellow Sea Bottom Cold. Water and the Western North Pacific Central Water takes place in the bottom layer over the continental shelf south off Cheju Is. This mixed water probably has mush influence on the water properties of the intermediate and bottom layer around Cheju Is. and the south coast of Korea.

서북태평양은 전세계적으로 태풍이 가장 많이 발생하는 해양 지역 중 하나이다. 태풍이 몰고 온 강풍과 폭우, 폭풍해일 등은 우리 사회경제와 환태평양 국가의 신변안전에 심각한 위협이 되고 있다.특히 내륙으로 진입하는 수백킬로의 영향을 미치는 만큼 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 강우량이 발생하고, 집중강수 기간이 짧아 산사태 등 자연재해로 많은 인명피해가 발생한다. 이러한 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 태풍의 활동특성을 잘 파악하고 태풍에 의한 강수량 예측 연구가 재해예방과 재난저감을 위해 필요하다. 그러나 현재기술에서 태풍이 몰고 온 강수의 정확한 양적 예측은 여전히 어려운 문제이며, 해결해야 할 큰 도전과제이다. 본 연구에서는 태풍별 강수량 상관관계를 분석하고, 서북태평양의 역사적 태풍의 궤도와 강도를 고려해 태풍으로 인한 강수량을 예측하는 통계적 방법을 적용한 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

Strong winds and heavy rainfall from tropical cyclones (TCs) that occur in the Northwestern Pacific cause significant human and material damage to the Korean peninsula and East Asia. Hence, it is important to establish early warning systems and conduct preparedness activities in advance of a TC. This study suggests a technique to extract the value of uniform TC-induced rainfall considering the TC track and TC size. To validate our technique, we compare it to existing TC rainfall techniques using the spatial domain. To determine the TC size required for extracting TC-induced rainfall, this research analyzed the mean of TC-induced rainfall by TC size (1973-2012). As a result of this analysis, the maximum amount of mean of TC-induced rainfall was found for a TC with a radius of 700 km. Other techniques have limitations which this new technique addresses; it can extract TC-induced rainfall in each administrative area and minimize systematic biases of other extraction methods. The result of this study can be utilized in the preparation of rainfall forecasts, designing hydraulic structures, and predicting landslide and debris flows using TC-induced rainfall and downpours.
