The distributions of heat and momentum fluxes on the surface over the oceans around the Korean Peninsula are obtained based on the surface-layer flux model of Kim and Kang (1994), and their seasonal variations are examined in the present study. the input data of the model is the oceanatmosphere data with a grid interval of 2$^{\circ}$ in longitude and latitude. The atmosphere data, which are the pressure, temperature, and specific humidity on the 1000 mb level for 3 year period of 1985∼1987, are obtained from the European center for Medium Range Forecast. The sea surface temperature (SST) is obtained from National Meteorological Center (NMC). The solar insolation and longwave radiation on the ocean surface are obtained, respectively, from the NASA satellite data and based on an emprical formula. It is shown from the net heat flux that the oceans near Korea lose heat to the atmosphere in January and October with the rates of 200∼ 400 Wm/SUP -2/ and 100 Wm/SUP -2/, respectively. But the oceans are heated by the atmosphere in April and July with about the same rate of 100 Wm/SUP -2/. The annualmean net heat flux is negative over the entire domain except the northern part of the Yellow Sea. The largest annual-mean cooling rate of about 120 Wm/SUP -2/ is appeared off the southwest of Japan. In the East Sea, the annual-mean cooling rate is 60∼90 Wm/SUP -2/ in the southern and northern parts and about 30 Wm/SUP -2/ in the middle part. The magnitude of wind stress in january is 3∼ 5 times bigger than those of the other months. As a result, the spatial pattern of annual-mean wind stress is similar to that of January. It is also shown that the annual-mean wind stress curl is negative. in the East China Sea and the South Sea,but it is positive in the northern part of the Yellow Sea.In the East sea,the stress curl is positive in the southeast and northern parts and negative in the northwestern part.

This study attempted to understand seawater characteristics like chlorophyll concentration (CHL), total suspended matter concentration (TSM), absorption characteristics, and remote sensing reflectance around Weno Island, Micronesia, located in the South Pacific Ocean near the equator. 50 in-situ measurement from May to June 2013 were analyzed and compared with data from around Korean peninsula. CHL around Weno Island was 0.11-0.49 mg/m³ (average 0.26 mg/m³), and TSM was 0.03-0.31 g/m³, (average 0.16 g/m³), showing typical clear water characteristics. Absorption coefficient of total suspended matters at 443 nm showed over 0.5 times less than that from East Sea and the slope of absorption coefficient spectrum of dissolved organic matter showed much larger than that of Korean peninsula, indicating the concentration of organic matter is very low and dissolved organic matter of marine origin is considered to be the main component in the study area. As a result of comparing the remote sensing reflectance spectrum with that of coastal waters around the Korean peninsula, coastal waters around Weno Island showed typical CASE-1 water properties. It was possible to understand the marine optical characteristics of coral reef habitats in tropical waters, and it can be used to develop seawater algorithms specialized in the study area.

Based on the ICE-3G and ICE-5G ice models, we predicted the velocities of crustal uplift caused by Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) at 39 tide gauge sites operated by Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA). We also divided the Korean peninsula in the ranges of $32-38.5^{\circ}N$ and $124-132^{\circ}E$ in $0.5^{\circ}{\times}0.5^{\circ}$ grids, and computed the GIA velocities at each grid point. We found that the average uplift rates due to GIA in South Korea were 0.33 and 1.21 mm/yr for ICE-3G and ICE-5G, respectively. Because the GIA rates were relatively high at ~1 mm/yr when the updated ice model ICE-5G was used, we concluded that the GIA effect cannot be neglected when we compute the absolute sea level (ASL) rates around the Korean peninsula. In this study, we corrected the ICE-5G GIA velocities from the relative sea level rates provided by KHOA and we computed the ASL rates at 13 tide gauge stations. As a result, we found that the average ASL velocity around the Korean peninsula was 5.04 mm/yr. However, the ASL rates near Jeju island were abnormally higher than the other areas and the average was 8.84 mm/yr.

The ocean heatwave is emerging as a major issue due to global warming, posing a direct threat to marine ecosystems and humanity through decreased food resources and reduced carbon absorption capacity of the oceans. Consequently, the prediction of ocean heatwaves in the vicinity of the Korean Peninsula is becoming increasingly important for marine environmental monitoring and management. In this study, an LSTM model was developed to improve the underestimated prediction of ocean heatwaves caused by the coarse vertical grid system of the Korean Peninsula Ocean Prediction System. Based on the results of ocean heatwave predictions for the Korean Peninsula conducted in 2023, as well as those generated by the LSTM model, the performance of heatwave predictions in the East Sea, Yellow Sea, and South Sea areas surrounding the Korean Peninsula was evaluated. The LSTM model developed in this study significantly improved the prediction performance of sea surface temperatures during periods of temperature increase in all three regions. However, its effectiveness in improving prediction performance during periods of temperature decrease or before temperature rise initiation was limited. This demonstrates the potential of the LSTM model to address the underestimated prediction of ocean heatwaves caused by the coarse vertical grid system during periods of enhanced stratification. It is anticipated that the utility of data-driven artificial intelligence models will expand in the future to improve the prediction performance of dynamical models or even replace them.

동해는 크게 북한한류계수의 지배적인 영향을 받는 북부해역, 동한난류계수의 지배적인 영향을 받는 남부해역과 이들이 만나서 극전선이 형성되는 중부해역 등 세 해역으로 구분할 수 있고 이러한 환경에서의 해군 함정의 대잠탐지환경은 같은 동해라 하더라도 크게 다를 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 저주파 거리종속 모델인 RAM 을 이용하여 평균해황 하에서 각 해역에서의 전달손실 값을 비교하였다. 음원을 수심 100m, 수신기 수심을 10m와 100m로 설정하여 실험을 하였으며 아울러 평균해황이 아닌 일정시기에 관측한 순간해황 자료를 통한 모델결과도 같이 분석하였다. 실험결과, 연안에 위치한 음원으로부터 음파가 외해로 전달됨에 따라 냉난수대간의 수온전선 영향을 받게되며 수온전선을 통과하면서 남부해역에서의 음파는 중부 및 북부해역 보다 난류의 영향을 더 많이 받게된다. 따라서 북부보다는 중부해역이, 중부보다는 남부해역에서의 전달손실값이 더 커지게 된다. 특히 이러한 경향은 북한한류계수가 발달하여 난류와 수온전선이 형성되는 8월에 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 한반도 연안해역에서 적조로부터 양식장을 보호하기 위한 연안환경모니터링시스템을 구축하는데 있다. 1995년 이후 적조의 발생은 한반도 남부 연안해역에서 빈번하게 발생하고 넓게 확산되었다. 따라서 적조연구의 가장 중요한 점은 유해성적조의 발생 초기단계에 적조를 탐지하는 것이다. 지리정보시스템 기술은 적조발생의 공간적, 시간적 변화를 분석하는데 필요한 적조모니터링 시스템을 만드는데 적합하다. 유해성 적조 분석시스템 프로그램은 매일 매일의 적조 분포범위, 적조 생물 종, 적조 밀도 등을 제공해준다. 우리는 유해성 적조분석프로그램을 이용하여 적조로부터 양식장의 보호지역을 찾을 수 있다. 적조의 공간분석은 현장조사에 의한 참조자료를 바탕으로 수행되었다.

It was studied to the displacement and the amount of catch for migratory fishes with NOAA/AVHRR SST(Sea Surface Temperature) from 1988 to 2000 in the Korean Seas. The analyzed results from SST data showed generally the oceanic warming trend in the Korean Seas. On the increasement of SST, the distributed areas of migratory fishes which living in the warm waters were displaced gradually to the northward directions(high latitude) and then the amount of catch was increased during this studied periods against to migratory fishes which living in the cold waters.

We have analyzed the characteristics of the monthly mean sea surface winds and wind waves near the Korean marginal seas in the 2002 year on the basis of prediction results of the sea surface winds from MM5/KMA model, which is being used for the operation system at the Korea Meteorological Administration and the third generation wave model, WAVEWATCH-III. which takes the sea surface winds derived from MM5/KMA model as the initial data. Statistical comparisons have been applied with both the marine meteorological observation buoy and the TOPEX/POSEIDON satellite wave heights data to verify the model results. The correlation coefficients between the models and observation data reach up to about 60-80％, supporting that these models satisfactorily simulate the sea surface winds and wave heights even at the coastal regions except for Chilbal-Do located very close to the land. Based on these verification results, the distributions of monthly mean sea surface winds, significant wave heights, wave lengths and wave periods around the Korean marginal seas during 2002 year have been represented.
