Time series of gridded surface wind and wind-stress vectors over the world ocean have been constructed by satellite scatterometer data. The products are derived from the ERS-l,2 covering 9 years during 1992-2000 and the Sea Winds on board QuikSCAT (Qscat) which has been operating up to the present since June 1999, so they allows us to analyze variabilities with various time scales. In this study, we focus on interannual variability of the wind stress in the mid- and high-latitude region of North Pacific. These are compared with those by numerical weather prediction(NWP) ones (NCEP Reanalysis). We also examine variability in the wind-stress curl field that is an important factor for ocean dynamics and focus its time and spatial characters in the northwestern Pacific around Japan. It is found that the vorticity field in the lower atmosphere tends to increase gradually with time, suggesting the enhancement of the North Pacific subtropical gyre.

The national goal of wind energy dissemination has to be determined rationally based on technically available wind resource potential. For a reliable and scientific estimation or wind resource potential, a wind map is requisite. This paper presents the national wind map of Korea established by numerical wind simulation. Prediction accuracy of the low-resolution wind map is Improved by nudging QuikSCAT data and is validated by comparing with marine buoy beacon and met-mast measurements. Therefore, quantification of national wind resource potential is now possible and is anticipating to be utilized as a core index for policy and strategy building of wind energy dissemination and technology development.

In this study, we focused on the improvements in the simulation of sea surface wind over the complex coastal area. MM5 model being currently used to predict sea surface wind at Korea Meteorological Administration, was used to verify the accuracy to estimate the local wind field. A case study was performed on clear days with weak wind speed(4 m/s), chosen by the analysis of observations. The model simulations were conducted in the southeastern area of Korea during the selected periods, and observational data such as AWS, buoy and QuikSCAT were used to compare with the calculated wind components to investigate if simulated wind field could follow the tendency of the real atmospheric wind field. Results showed that current operational model, MM5, does not estimate accurately sea surface wind and the wind over the coastal area. The calculated wind speed was overestimated along the complex coastal regions but it was underestimated in islands and over the sea. The calculated diurnal changes of wind direction could not follow well the tendency of the observed wind, especially at nighttime. In order to exceed the limitations, data assimilation with high resolution data and more specificated geographical information is expected as a next best policy to estimate accurately the environment of local marine wind field.

본 연구에서는 하계 냉수대 발생과 관련하여 2007년 6월과 8월의 현장 및 위성에서 관측한 NOAA 해양표면수온과 SeaWiFS 해색 영상 및 QuikScat 자료를 이용하여 동해 남부해역의 수온과 클로로필 a 농도의 단기 변동과 바람을 살펴보았다. 특히, 동한난류 해역의 수온과 Chl-a의 공간적인 분포에 주목하였다. 현장관측 자료의 분석 결과, 울산 부근의 연안용승이 발생 이전인 6월의 클로로필 a 농도의 피크는 전체 조사 정점에서 50m 층에 보였고, 8월의 그 피크는 육지에 근접한 정점 4와 5에서는 10m 그리고 그 외 정점은 30m 층에 나타났지만 정점 5를 제외하고 그 농도는 6월보다 낮게 나타났다. 결과적으로, 클로로필 a 농도의 피크는 농도 차이는 있지만 8월이 6월보다 20-40m 얕은 층에 형성되었고, 이것은 남풍계열의 바람에 의한 연안용승으로 하부층의 영양염 공급 등과 관계하는 것 같다. 위성관측 수온과 클로로필 a 농도는 음의 상관관계를 보였고, 냉수가 발생한 곳에서 클로로필 a 농도는 고농도를 나타내었다. 또한, 남풍계열의 바람에 의한 영향과 동한난류의 이안은 연안에서 발생한 냉수와 Chl-a 등을 외해로 이동시키는 역할을 하였다.

The new approach to the problem of oil spill detection consisting in combined use of all available quasiconcurrent satellite information (AVHRR NOAA, TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, MODIS Terra/Aqua, QuikSCAT) is suggested. We present the results of the application of the proposed approach to the operational monitoring of seawater condition and pollution in the coastal zone of northeastern Black Sea conducted in 2006. This monitoring is based on daily receiving, processing and analysis of data different in nature (microwave radar images, optical and infrared data), resolution and surface coverage. These data allow us to retrieve information on seawater pollution, sea surface and air-sea boundary layer conditions, seawater temperature and suspended matter distributions, chlorophyll a concentration, mesoscale water dynamics, near-surface wind and surface wave fields. The focus is on coastal seawater circulation mechanisms and their impact on the evolution of pollutants.

Development of diurnal warming in the open Okhotsk Sea during the daytime and calm conditions was studied using sea surface temperature (SST) fields retrieved from NOAA AVHRR, Terra and Aqua MODIS, Aqua AMSR-E and ADEOS-II AMSR data. Sea surface wind fields were estimated from AMSR-E/AMSR measurements as well as were obtained from QuikSCAT scatterometer. Weak winds and cloudless conditions were observed in the central area of anticyclone, which moved slowly on 28-30 June 2003 east off Sakhalin. The area where the amplitude of the diurnal SST signal ${\Delta}T$ was significant also shifted slowly and had or circular or elongated shape. The ${\Delta}T$ was estimated relative to the SST values in the areas surrounding the centre of anticyclone where wind speed W exceeded 5- 6 m/s. The diurnal variations of SST, day-night differences were computed using NOAA-12 and NOAA-16 AVHRRderived data. Analysis of simultaneous SST and W fields showed that the increase of W from 0 to 5-6 m/s causes the decrease of ${\Delta}T$ to zero. Maximum warming exceeded $8^{\circ}C$ and was observed in the centre of anticyclone where W = 0 m/s. So strong heating was likely due to the increased chlorophyll a concentration in the area under study that follows from analysis of satellite ocean colour data.

동계 동중국대륙의 연안수가 발달하여 쿠로시오 난류의 경계역으로 확장된 후 주변의 북상 난류역에 의해 포획됨으로써, 고립되는 현상이 1999년 및 2003년 NOAA 위성영상에 포착되었다. 1999년의 경우 냉핵 와동류(cold core eddy)는 약 2개불간 존재하였고 (5월초~6월 하순), cold core의 중심 수온은 15~2$0^{\circ}C$로 주변보다 2~3$^{\circ}C$ 낮게 나타났다. NOAA 위성수온 영상에 포착된 냉핵 와동류의 주변 가장자리 해역에서 SeaWiFS 위성자료로부터 추정된 클로로필 $\alpha$ 분포는 4.0~6.0 mg/m$^3$으로 냉핵 와동류 중심해역의 농도 1.0~3.0 mg/m$^3$ 보다 2배정도 높게 나타났다. 2003년 경우 2월중순에 냉핵 와동류 중심수온은 9~1$0^{\circ}C$였다. 와동류의 크기는 직경 150km 정도였으며, 냉핵 와동류의 수평 분포양상은 50m 등수심 분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 이어도(Socotra Rock) 해역을 중심으로 동계-춘계에 발생되는 냉핵 와동류의 형성 메카니즘은 중국대륙 연안수와 쿠로시오 난류가 만나는 경계역에서 수괴간의 힘의 균형, 계절풍 조건 및 해저 지형 분포와 밀접한 관계성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The numerical simulation optimized by Four Dimensional Data Assimilation (FDDA) with Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) data is carried out to evaluate wind resource characteristics at various heights in the southeastern area of the Korean Peninsula, where wind farms are planned to be built on on- and off-shore as well as comparable diurnal wind variations are characterized at the surface. The temporal and spatial distributions of modeled wind speeds showed good agreement with the observations based on the temporal variation analysis. Model results indicate that the higher model is performed in resolution, the more precise results is at turbine hub height. Occasionally, wind speed variations for each numerical resolution has a different regional and seasonal variations. In the coast area, hub height wind speed of 9km-resolution is simillar to that of 3km-resolution. On the other hand, hub height wind speed of 3km-resolution is simillar to that of 1km-resolution in the Jiri mountainous area.
