This study analyzed a correlation between South China Sea summer (June to September) monsoon (SCSSM) and the ENSO for the last 32 years (1979 to 2010). There was a correlation that the higher (lower) the SST in the $Ni{\tilde{n}}o-3.4$ region was, the weaker (stronger) the SCSSM intensity was. To identify the reason for this correlation, a difference of means between 8 El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ years and 8 La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$ years (June to September). The analysis on the difference between two groups with respect to the 850 hPa stream flows showed that there were anomalous huge cyclones in the subtropical Pacific in the both hemispheres so that cold and dry anomalous northerlies were strengthened in the South China Sea relatively while anomalous westerlies were strengthened from the Maritime Continent to the off the coast of Chile. The analysis on the difference between two groups with respect to the 200 hPa stream flows showed that the opposite anomalous pressure system pattern to that in the 850 hPa stream flows were shown. In the subtropical Pacific of the both hemispheres, anomalous anticyclones existed so that anomalous easterlies were strengthened from the Maritime Continent to the equatorial central Pacific. Considering the anomalous atmospheric circulations in the upper and lower layers of the troposphere, upward airflows from the equatorial central and eastern Pacific were downward in the South China Sea and the Maritime Continent, which was a structure of anomalous atmospheric circulations. This means that the Walker Circulation was weakened and it was a typical structure of atmospheric circulations revealed in El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ years.

To reveal the spatial and temporal variability in the distribution, growth, and maturation of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis in the western tropical Pacific, we compared two El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signals and the sea surface temperature (SST) in the main fishing area with fishery and biological data. An index of skipjack tuna distribution was calculated using Korean purse seine fishery data from 1985 to 2003. Biological data for skipjack tuna were collected monthly from Korean catches during the 1994-2003 period. The catch was more closely related to the SST in the main fishing area than to the ENSO signals. However, cross-correlated function analysis showed delayed interactions between abiotic and biotic factors. The El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ events preceded the eastward movement of the fishing center by 2-3 months. El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ had a positive effect on the skipjack tuna catch, and the change in the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) preceded the catch fluctuation by ca. 5-7 months. In addition, negative El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ effects on gonad maturation and the mean length of skipjack tuna were detected with time lags of 12 and 7 months, respectively. The length frequency indicated that the regime-specific growth pattern at each discrete period seemed to be related to the ENSO.

본 연구에서는 중앙태평양 지역의 비정상적인 해수면 온도변화를 3가지 진화패턴(Prolonged-decaying, Abrupt-decaying, Symmetric-decaying)에 따라 분류하였으며, 이에 따른 한반도 영향 태풍을 중심으로 태풍의 발생지점 및 경로, 중심기압의 특성변화와 낙동강유역의 태풍 강우량 및 중호우사상의 발생빈도에 대한 특성변화를 분석하였다. 분석결과, Prolonged-decaying 해와 Symmetric-decaying 해의 경우, 낙동강 유역의 태풍에 의한 여름철 강우량 및 중호우사상의 발생빈도가 평년보다 크게 나타났다. 그러나, Abrupt-decaying 해의 경우, 태풍강우는 대체로 감소하는 패턴을 보이는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이는 태풍의 발생지점이 비교적 한반도에 근접하게 위치하며 태풍의 중심기압이 높고 태풍의 경로가 대체로 일본으로 이동하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 성과는 중앙태평양 엘니뇨의 진화패턴별 태풍활동특성 및 지역적 태풍강우 특성 분석을 통하여 침수피해를 저감하고 기후변화에 대비한 적응방안 수립에 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper summarizes characteristics of the Korean tuna purse seine fishery in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). Major fishing area for the Korean tuna purse seine fleet consisted of the waters of Micronesia, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands and adjacent high seas between $130^{\circ}E-180^{\circ}$ The center of the Korean tuna fishing ground was in the vicinity of $180^{\circ}$ during the El - $Ni{\tilde{n}}$o event but was formed in $150^{\circ}-160^{\circ}$E during the La - $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ event. As compared with other major purse seine fleets in WCPO, the Korean fleet set more on unassociated schools of tuna, while Japan, USA and Chinese - Taipei fleets accounted for more than 50% of sets on log - associated schools. In general, CPUES for log - associated schools were higher than those for unassociated schools and catch composition showed that yellowfin ratio was higher in unassociated shools than log - associated schools. Length frequency represented higher percentage of mid - sized yellowfin than Japanese and USA fleets. Daily set numbers and CPUE were high before 7 am and remained almost constant from 7 am to 3 pm but decreased rapidly after 3 pm and 5 pm, respectively. Catch composition per set indicated that pure skipjack school was caught most frequently, followed by mixed school and pure yellowfin school as the least, but CPUE was highest for the mixed school.

이 연구에서는 2009년 북서태평양 태풍활동의 특성과 이에 영향을 끼친 대기 순환장을 분석하였다. 2009년에 북서태평양에서는 평년(1979~2009 평균값: 25.8개)보다 적은 22개의 태풍이 발생했는데, 7~10월에 집중적으로 발생하였다. 태풍의 발생은 필리핀 북쪽 해역과 북서태평양 동쪽 지역에서 많았고, 발생한 태풍은 대기순환 흐름에 의해서 대부분 남중국해와 일본 동쪽으로 향했다. 상대적으로 동중국해와 우리나라로 접근하는 태풍은 적었다. 대기대순환 관점에서 보았을 때, 2009년 태풍활동은 엘니뇨 현상과 서태평양 지역의 평년보다 활발한 대류활동에 의해 유도된 대기순환에 의해 영향을 받았다. 잘 알려진 바와 같이, 엘니뇨 시기에는 열대 해수면 온도의 동서 경도에 의해 서태평양 적도 지역에서는 강한 서풍 아노말리가 유도되는데, 2009년에도 이들의 영향으로 북서태평양 몬순 기압골이 동쪽으로 크게 확장되었고, 태풍의 발생 위치도 평년보다 동쪽으로 치우쳤다. 또한, 서태평양 지역의 강한 대류활동으로부터 유도된 로스비파가 남중국해로부터 중위도로 전파되면서 남중국 지역에서는 지향류의 동풍 아노말리, 동중국해 및 한국 근처에서는 북서풍 아노말리, 일본 동쪽에서는 남서풍 아노말리가 연이어 나타났다. 이로 인해 태풍의 진로가 동중국해 및 한국으로 진행하지 못하고 남중국해와 일본 동쪽 해상으로 유도되었다. 결과적으로 우리나라는 최근 21년 만에 직접적으로 영향을 준 태풍이 없는 무태풍년으로 기록되었다. 2009년의 예와 같이 평년과 크게 다른 태풍의 활동과 관련 대규모 순환장 패턴을 분석하는 연구를 통해 앞으로 기후변화에 따른 동아시아에서 지역별 태풍 영향에 대한 예측성 향상에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

The 1982-83, 1986-87, 1991-92, and 1997-98 El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillations (ENSOs) were compared with regards to their strength and timing in the tropical Pacific Ocean, changes in ocean temperature and wave intensity, and their impacts to giant kelp populations in the Northeast Pacific. The Multivariate ENSO Index, oceanographic data, and kelp abundance data all show that the 1982-83 and 1997-98 ENSOs were stronger and resulted in greater losses of giant kelp than the 1986-87 and 1991-92 ENSOs, but that the 1982-83 and 1997-98 ENSOs differed with regard to the arrival of destructive waves relative to when the ocean waters warmed and cooled. The 1982-83 ENSO was more destructive to the giant kelp populations in central California, USA than the 1997-98 ENSO, but the 1997-98 ENSO was more destructive to the giant kelp in southern California. These events appeared similarly destructive to the populations in Baja California, Mexico. Recovery of the kelp populations also varied among the two strong ENSOs due to the ocean conditions following each ENSO. In southern and Baja California, recovery was slow following the 1982-83 ENSO, while recovery was more rapid following the 1997-98 ENSO. Unfortunately, the monitoring programs used to evaluate the kelp populations stopped shortly after the 1997-98 ENSO, resulting in a lack of data for comparisons with the more recent weak ENSOs that occurred between 2002 and 2010, or with the strong ENSO that occurred in 2014-2016. This supports the need for continued long-term monitoring programs to better understand how climate anomalies impact coastal ecosystems.

The purpose of this study is to summarize tropical cyclone activity in 2006. Twenty three tropical cyclones of tropical storm (TS) intensity or higher formed in the western North Pacific and the South China Sea in 2006. The total number is less than the thirty-year (1971~2000) average frequency of 26.7. Out of twenty three tropical cyclones, fifteen cyclones reached typhoon (TY) intensity, while the rest eight cyclones only reached severe tropical storm (STS) and tropical storm (TS) intensity - three STS and five TS storms. The tropical cyclone season in 2006 began in May with the formation of CHANCHU (0601). The convective activity was slightly inactive around the Philippines from late June to early August. In addition, subtropical high was more enhanced than normal over the south of Japan from May to early August. Consequently, most tropical cyclones formed over the sea east of the Philippines after late June, and many of them moved westwards to China. CHANCHU (0601), BILIS (0604), KAEMI (0605), PRAPIROON (0606) and SAOMI (0608) brought damage to China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. On the other hand, EWINIAR (0603) moved northwards and hit the Republic of Korea, causing damage to the country. From late August to early September, convective activity was temporarily inactive over the sea east of the Philippines. However, it turned active again after late September. Subtropical high was weak over the south of Japan after late August. Therefore, most tropical cyclones formed over the sea east of the Philippines and moved northwards. WUKONG (0610) and SHANSHAN (0613) hit Japan to bring damage to the country. On the other hand, XANGSANE (0615) and CIMARON (0619) moved westwards in the South China Sea, causing damage to the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Another special feature in 2006 tropical cyclone activity is that IOKE (0612) formed in the central North Pacific crossed 180 degree longitude and moved into the western North Pacific. It has been four years since HUKO (0224) in 2002.
