High-Frequency Radar (HF-Radar) data of surface currents in Yeongil Bay (a semi-enclosed sea area of the East Sea) was used to investigate the between wind and horizontal surface currents The variation in horizontal and vertical flow of surface currents correlated closely to the water temperature time-series data of densely spaced (1 to 2 m) layers. During the time-series observation period, when the northeast wind prevailed over the entire Yeongil Bay area, a rapid rise in water temperature was recorded across all the layers. Moreover, currents parallel to the wind direction were clearly observed in low-frequency currents of the surface layer. Time-delayed correlation analysis between wind and surface current confirmed that if northeasterly wind blows in Yeongil Bay and continues unidirectionally, a southwestward surface current occured within a short period of time (1 to 2 hours). Convergence and divergence were calculated from the daily average values of low-frequency surface currents. A rapid rise in temperature occurred in the lower layers of water at the observation points, due to the convergence (downwelling) of the surface seawater (relatively high temperature water) associated with the northeasterly wind.

Oceanic temperature inversions, with unstable stratifications, are frequently founed in the surface layer of a few tens meters in the Japan Sea and the Yellow Sea in Winter. Mechanisms responsible for the generation of temperature inversions include the followings: (1) The nat heat loss at the sea suface requires an upward transport of heat from the interior of the ocean y convection, and this convection leads to the temperature inversions. (2) The downward propagation of the annual variation of the sea surface timperature, with an exponential decrease of amplitude and a linear change of phase with depth, generates the surface inversion layer in winter. (3) The cold water cdvection by Ekman drift, of which magnitude decreases exponentially with depth, generates temperature inversions for the three possible mechanisms mentioned above.

The changing patterns of water temperature and turbidity in streams entering Imha Reservoir were studied. The turbidity variation near the intake tower in Imha Reservoir was investigated in relation with the variation of water temperature and turbidity in streams. Water temperature was estimated using multi-regression method with air temperature and dew point as independent variables. Peak turbidity was also estimated using non-linear regression method with rainfall intensity as an independent variable. Although more independent variables representing watershed characteristics seem to be needed to increase estimation accuracies, the methodology used in this study can be applied to estimate water temperature and peak turbidity in other streams.

Temperature inversions are investigated by using the oceanographic data (1965-1979) obtained in the Southern Sea of Korea. The temperature inversions in winter occur about six times more frequently than those in sumner. In the west region of the Southern Sea, the inversions are found at any depth in winter. In the east region of the Southern Sea, however, they usually appear in surface layer in winter. Such inversion phenomena in winter can be explained by surface cooling effects associated with a net heat loss at the sea surface and a southward advection of surface cold water due to north-westerly monsoon. In summer the inversion layers are usually formed below the thermocline in the west region of the Southern Sea, and in surface layer in the east region. The former results from the mixing between the Tsushima Warm Current and the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, and the latter is generated by an offshore flow of cold water near coast due to southwesterly wind.

2000~2009년 동안 격월로 관측한 수온 관측 자료를 분석하여 표층 수온이 10년 동안 약 $1{\sim}1.9^{\circ}C$ 상승하는 경향을 관찰하였다. 상승폭이 해역마다 약간의 차이를 보이고 있는데 부산해역은 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$, 여수해역은 약 $1.7^{\circ}C$, 제주북부에서도 약 $1.7^{\circ}C$의 상승폭을 보임으로서 남해 동쪽보다는 서쪽해역의 상승폭이 약간 높게 나타났다. 남해 연안수의 평균 수온이 증가하는 추세경향으로 미루어 볼 때 남해 수온전선이 약해지게 되어 결과적으로 연안쪽으로 밀릴 것으로 추정된다. 제주도 모슬포는 약 $1.9^{\circ}C$ 가 상승하였으며 제주도 성산포는 2004~2009년 동안 약 $1.2^{\circ}C$ 상승하는 추세를 보였다. 이와 같은 수온의 변동성은 조위관측소에서 관측된 수온에서도 확인할 수 있는데 부산은 $0.2^{\circ}C$/8년, 여수 $0.4^{\circ}C$/10년, 제주북부는 $1.5^{\circ}C$/10년, 모슬포와 성산포는 $1^{\circ}C$/6년, 서귀포는 $1.7^{\circ}C$/8년 상승폭을 보인다. 조위관측소의 수온 상승폭보다 한국연안해류조사의 수온 상승폭이 약간 높게 나타나고 있는데 이는 관측소의 위치가 해안가에 있는 반면 연안해류조사는 선박을 이용하여 외해쪽에서 수온을 관측하기 때문에 고온 고염의 대마난류(Tsushima Warm Current) 영향을 더 많이 받았기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. 해수의 수온 상승 현상은 증가율이 약간 낮기는 하지만 50m 수심에서도 나타나고 있다. 부산해역, 여수해역, 제주북부 해역은 모두 약 $1.2^{\circ}C$의 상승폭을 보였으며, 제주도 성산포는 약 $1.1^{\circ}C$인 반면, 모슬포 해역에서는 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$로 상승추이가 크게 나타났다. 이와 같이 남해 연안수가 표층과 저층에서 동반 상승했다는 것은 대마난류의 세력이 강해졌다는 것을 보여주는 지시자(indicator)로서 최근 제주도와 남부지방의 기후온난화와 관련이 있을 것으로 추정된다. 하지만 상승률은 관측기간이 길어질수록 작아지는 경향이 있기 때문에 남해의 물리적 특성 변화를 보다 명확히 규명하기 위해서는 좀 더 장기적인 자료가 필요하다.

The buffer capacity of southern Korean waters in summer was quantified using data set of temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity obtained from August 2020 cruise. The geographical distribution and variability of six buffer factors, which amended the existing Revelle factor, are discussed their relationship with the hydrological parameters of temperature and salinity. The calculated results of six buffer factors showed the spatial variations according to the distributions of various water masses. The buffer capacity was low in the East Sea Surface Mixed Water (ESMW) and South Sea Surface Mixed Water (SSMW) where upwelling occurred, and showed an intermediate value in the Yellow Sea Surface Water (YSSW). In addition, the buffer capacity increased in the order of high temperature Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) and Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW). This means that the Changjiang discharge water in summer strengthens the buffer capacity of the study area. The highest buffer capacity of CDW is due to its relatively higher temperature and biological productivity, and a summer stratification. Temperature showed a good positive correlation (R²=0.79) with buffer capacity in all water masses, whereas salinity exhibited a poor negative correlation (R²=0.30). High temperature strengthens buffer capacity through thermodynamic processes such as gas exchange and distribution of carbonate system species. In the case of salinity, the relationship with buffer capacity is reversed because salinity of the study area is not controlled by precipitation or evaporation but by a local freshwater input and mixing with upwelled water.

The result of analysis of the observed temperature data by the Serial Oceanography Investigation of National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) during last 41 years from 1969 to 2008 showed that sea surface temperatures in the East, West and South Sea of Korea were clearly increased. In case of 100m depth, temperature was increased in the South Sea of Korea, but it was decreased in the East Sea. Especially, the temperature around the coastal area in the East Sea was significantly decreased by the spatial distribution of long-term change of temperature on 100m depth. It should lead to the decreasing trend in the long-term change of temperature on 100 m depth in the entire East Sea. The increasing trend was clearly larger in wintertime than in summertime by a factor of about 2 It means that the long-term increasing trend of sea surface temperature in the Korean Waters is usually caused by the distinctive increasing trend in wintertime. As the results of the analysis of air temperature and wind speed on the 6stations around the coastal area in the Korean Waters, air temperature was found to be continuously increased, but wind speed to be gradually decreased in winter. The weakness of vertical mixing by decreasing of wind speed caused to make the surface mixed layer shallow. it could be considered that the increasing trend of surface temperature was caused by weak mixing between surface and intermediate layers.

몬순지역에 속한 우리나라의 대부분 저수지에서는 여름철 집중호우시 탁수가 유입되므로, 저수지 수질관리를 위해 고탁수층의 진행경로, 시공간적 분포, 그리고 방류량조절 등에 의한 탁수저감효과를 예측할 필요성이 있다. 저수지의 성층현상이 임하호의 탁도분포에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 월별 수온분포가 검토되었고 또한 수리 및 수질모형 CE-QUAL-W2를 이용하여 2차원 수치모의가 수행되었다. 임하호의 6월 수온분포는 표층은 $24^{\circ}C$이고 심층은 $6^{\circ}C$이고 중층은 비교적 선형으로 변화한다. 8월달 수온 분포는 표층의 수온은 $30^{\circ}C$정도이고 심층은 심층은 $6^{\circ}C$이고중층은 $22^{\circ}C$에서 $18^{\circ}C$이고 2개의 수온약층이 존재한다. 6월과 8월의 중층수온분포를 비교해보면 6월은 상대적으로 수온변화가 크고 8월은 수온변화가 작으므로 중층에서의 이송확산이 8월에 보다 활발할 것으로 판단된다. 임하호 성층현상이 탁도분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 6월과 8월의 수온분포의 경우에 대하여 임하호 유역에 80 mm와 120 mm의 총강우량이 발생한 경우에 대하여 수치모의를 수행하였다. 초기 저수위는 El. 148 m와 El. 152 m의 조건을 적용하였다. 수치모의결과는 2002년 태풍루사의 경우에 대하여 검증하였다. 수치모의결과는 다음과 같다. 탁수층 선단이 댐체에 도달하는 시간은 초기 저수위가 높고 중층의 수온분포가 상대적으로 균일한 8월이 긴 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 유입수가 저수지로 유입되면서 초기수위가 높은 경우에 운동량이 상대적으로 많이 소멸되기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한 탁수층의 두께도 8월 성층의 경우가 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 중층의 8월 수온분포 또는 밀도분포가 상대적으로 균일하기 때문에 연직방향 이송$\cdot$확산이 많이 이루어졌기 때문으로 판단된다.

Hydroacoustic surveys were conducted in the East China Sea, in the summers of 1990-1991 to investigate the distribution and migration behavior of fish, such as the diel changes in the distributions of fish, the thermoselection behavior of fish, and the fish reactions to a surveying vessel. The hydroacoustic observations were taken with a scientific echo sounder operating at 50kHz and a microcomputer-based echo processor. Fish samples were collected by bottom trawling and temperature was measured with a DBT system. The patterns of fish distributions were compared with the vertical profiles of water temperature. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The time series of hydroacoustic observations on the downward migration at dawn in the central region of East China Sea showed that the migration rate was 0.24 m/min. In this region, most of the fish collected by bottom trawling during the surveys were squid (Photologio edulis f. budo) and horse mackeral (Trachurus japonicus). 2. The hydroacoustic observations, which together associated with temperature data, indicated that squid and horse mackeral concentrated nocturally in a narrow vertical band of thermocline, particularly in summer when the survey region was strongly stratified. This result suggest that the nocturnal vertical distribution of these species evidently is controlled by temperature. 3. When the survey vessel, that is running at a speed of 11 knots, has suddenly stopped, the fish which concentrated beneath the transducer showed a strong avoidance reaction in the form of rapid downward migration. After a few minutes, the descending reaction disappeared and the fish slowly began the upward migration toward their original swimming positions. Trawl data suggest that the fish, which showed the avoidance reaction, was Liparis tessellatus.
