풍랑특보는 우리나라 부근을 항행하는 선박 및 해상 업무 종사자에게 큰 영향을 미친다. 이 연구에서는 최근 11년(2010-2020년) 동안 기상청에서 발표한 서해·남해·동해의 앞바다 및 먼바다, 제주도 앞바다의 풍랑특보와 주요 해양기상부이의 관측자료를 비교·분석하여 풍랑특보의 적절성을 평가하였다. 각 해역에 대한 풍랑특보와 해양기상부이 관측자료를 일별, 월별, 연별로 통계를 내어 연평균, 월평균, 계절별로 비교한 결과, 풍랑특보의 적중률이 전 해역에 걸쳐 매우 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 해상에서의 풍랑특보가 어선의 어업활동, 여객선 운항 및 관광, 해상 레저활동 등에 미치는 영향을 고려할 때 해양기상 예·특보의 정확성을 개선할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다.

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 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.

해양관측부이는 해상에서 일어나는 기상현상, 해양의 변화 등을 관측하는 중요시설물로 주로 원거리 해상에서 운영되고 있다. 이러한 해양관측부이는 원거리에서 운영됨에 따라 Vandalism, 선박운항 부주의 등에 의하여 파손, 유실 등의 사고가 빈번하게 발생하게 되는데, 해양관측부이가 선박 충돌 등으로 인해 손상되면 운영여건 특수성에 의해 복구 및 교체 작업에 많은 시간과 비용이 발생하게 되며, 정위치 이탈 시 2차사고의 발생 위험성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 해양관측부이의 보호를 위하여 위성전송 파노라마 카메라 및 항로표지용 AIS 등의 장치를 활용하여 접근하는 선박을 감시하고, 상대 선박에는 위험경보를 인식하여 사고를 예방하며, 불가항력적인 사고 발생 시 운영자에게 이를 신속하게 알려 조기에 필요한 조치를 취하게 할 수 있는 방법과 시스템을 개발하였으며, 해당 시스템을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고, 개발한 시스템의 유용성을 검증한다.

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.

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.

In this study, the significant wave height and wave period of a specially designed observation system that connected two drifting buoys to an ocean data buoy was observed for 23 days from February 7 to 29, 2020, and the results were compared and analyzed. The results indicated that, in comparison to the ocean data buoy, the drifting buoy exhibited greater variability in significant wave height over shorter time intervals. The wave period of the ocean data buoy also appeared longer than that of the drifting buoy. The greater the observed significant wave height and wave period from both the ocean data and drifting buoys, the more pronounced the differences between the two observation instruments become. Moreover, the study revealed that the disparity in observation methods between the ocean data and drifting buoys did not significantly affect the significant wave height characteristics, as long as the period remained unchanged for up to half of the observation time.

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.

It is desired to use a domestically manufactured ocean data buoy for the long-term operational ocean monitoring. The ocean data buoy manufacturing technology was introduced through the research cooperation with the Qingkong University of Taiwan. The introduced ocean data buoy system was further expanded and improved for more efficient application for the marine environmental monitoring in Korea. The size of the ocean data buoy is 2.5 m in diameter, which is smaller compared to the NOAA's 3.0 m discus buoy to allow easy land transportation and ocean deployment as well. From the dynamic response test of the buoy carried out numerically, it was shown that the measurement of waves with period greater than 4 seconds is acceptable. The measurement and control system of the data buoy were improved to increase the number of measuring parameters, to reduce power consumption and to enhance better data analysis and management. Each component of the improved data buoy system was described in detail in this paper. Water quality sensors of water temperature, salinity, DO, pH and turbidity were added to the system in addition to the marine meteorological sensors of wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, air pressure and wave. Inmarsat satellite communication system is used for the real-time data telemetry from the buoy deployed offshore. A field performance test of the improved and domestically manufactured buoy was carried out for a month at the open sea off Pohang together with DatawelI's Wave-rider buoy to compare the wave data. The results of the test were satisfactory.
