The geostrophic current component is estimated from the sea surface velocity observed by the long-range High-Frequency Ocean Radar (HF radar) system in the upstream of the Kuroshio, by comparing with geostrophic velocity determined from along-track T/P and Jason-1 altimetry data. However, the sea surface velocity of the HF radar (HF velocity) contains not only the geostrophic current but also the ageostrophic current such as tidal current and wind-driven Ekman current. Tidal current component is first extracted by the harmonic analysis of the time series of the HF velocity. Then, the Ekman current is further estimated from daily wind data of IFREMER by applying the least-square method to the residual difference between the HF velocity and the altimetry geostrophic velocity. As a result, the Ekman current in the HF velocity is estimated as 1.32 % of the wind speed and as rotated 45$^{\circ}$ clockwise to the wind direction. These parameters are found almost common in the Kuroshio area and in the Open Ocean. After these corrections, the geostrophic velocity component in the HF velocity agrees well with the altimetry geostrophic velocity.

한국 남동해역 취송순환에서의 부정확한 외력의 바람응력 문제에 대한 최적화 방법의 유용성에 관하여 검토하였다. 바람응력은 모델 및 수치적 정식화 과정에서 상층 경계조건 및 외력항으로 고려되었다. 그리고 바람응력 평가에 대한 최적화 방법의 적용성 및 모델변수의 초기값 추정치의 중요성을 검토하였다. 최적화 연구로부터 동해 남부해역의 취송순환에 관한 동한난류의 수송량 변화 및 통해 난수층의 형성과 분포특성을 바람응력, 바람응력 회전성 및 상층두께의 변동으로부터 파악할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

수평적으로 무한히 넓은 천해에 시간에 따라 크기와 방향이 바뀌는 바람이 불 때의 해수의 유량transports)에 대한 이론적인 계산을 할 수 있는 모델을 만들 었다. 이 모델에서 사용하는 선형화된 이론식은 가속력, 편향력(Coriolis force), 바람의 응력(wind stress) 및 저면 마찰력을 포함하고 있으며, 이 모델로부터 해수 유량에 대한 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 일정한 바람이 계속 불 때의 해수유량은 해저면 마찰로 인하여 바람 오른쪽 방향 90 보다 작다. 바람이 불기 시작한 후의 천이상태(transient state)의 유량은 정상류적(steady)인 에크만류( Ekman current) 에다가 시간이 지남에 따라서 크기가 감소하는 관성진동(inertial oscillation)과의 합성으로 나타난다. 바람의 크기가 정현적(sinrsoidal)으로 바뀌는 경우는 유량 벡터 는 바람 변화의 주기와 같은 시간동안 일주회전을 하는 유량타원(transport ellipse) 을 그린다. 바람의 방향이 바뀔 경우 해수유량은 자유관성진동(free inertial oscillation)과 강제진동의 합으로 나타나는데, 이 경우 강제진동의 주기는 바람 방향의 회전주기(rotation period)와 같다. 이 이론적인 해수유량모델은 해에서 시간에 따라 바람이 바뀔 경우 해수와 영양염의 이동에 대한 해석을 하는데 유용 하다.

2007년 4계절 동안 5회에 걸쳐 해운대 해수욕장으로부터 약 1.6 km 떨어진 수심 20 m 해역에서 층별 관측한 조류자료를 이 기간 동안 가장 가까운 지점에서 획득한 육상풍 및 해상풍 자료와 각각 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 각 계절별 풍향은 육상풍과 해상풍이 서로 유사하였으나, 풍속은 해상풍이 육상풍에 비해 3배 이상 강하였다. 또한, 해상풍은 늦여름부터 가을에 걸쳐 표층 조류에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편, 바람이 수층의 흐름에 미치는 한계를 나타내는 에크만층의 두께는 평균 31.8 m로 나타나, 측류 위치의 전 수층이 바람의 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서, 해운대 해수욕장의 모래 유실 방지 대책을 위한 조류 해석에 있어서 풍응력의 고려가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The wintertime upwind flow in the Yellow Sea has been investigated through a series of two-dimensional numerical experiments in an idealized basin. A total of 10 experiments have been carried out to examine the effects of wind forcing, bottom friction and the presence of oceanic currents sweeping the shelf of the East China Sea. A spatially uniform steady and periodic wind stresses are considered along with comparison of linear and quadratic formulations. The wind-driven flow in the absence of oceanic current has been computed using Proudman open boundary condition (POBC), while the wind-driven current in the presence of oceanic current has been computed using Flather’s radiation condition (FOBC). The oceanic currents to be prescribed at the open boundary have been simulated by specifying uniform sea level gradients across the Taiwan Strait and the eastern ECS shelf, Calculations show that, as seen in Lee et al. (2000), oceanic flow little penetrates into the Yellow Sea in the absence of wind forcing unless a unrealistically low rate of bottom frictional dissipation is assumed. Both steady and time-periodic wind stresses invoke the upwind flow along the central trough of the Yellow Sea, independently of the presence of the oceanic current. The presence of oceanic currents very marginally alters the north-south gradient of the sea surface elevation in the Yellow Sea. Changes in the intensity and direction of the wind-induced mean upwind flow are hardly noticeable in the Yellow Sea but are found to be significant near Cheju Island where the gradient is reduced and therewith contribution of Ekman transport increases. In case of steady wind forcing circulation patterns such as two gyres on the slope sides, a cyclonic gyre on the western slope and an anticyclonic gyre on the eastern slope persist and the upwind flow composes part of the cyclonic gyre in the Yellow Sea. While in case of the time-periodic wind stress the appearance and disappearance of the patterns are repeated according to the time variation of the wind stress and the upwind flow accordingly varies with phase delay, mostly intensifying near the time when the wind forcing is approximately near the middle of the decaying stage.

Variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Japan/East Sea (JES) was studied using complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis. Two daily data sets were analyzed: (1) New Generation 0.05o-gridded SST from Tohoku University, Japan (July 2002-July 2006), and (2) 0.25o-gridded SST from the Japan Meteorological Agency (October 1993-November 2006). Linkages with wind stress curl were revealed using 6-h 1o-gridded surface zonal and meridional winds from ancillary data of the Sea- WiFS Project, a special National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) product (1998-2005). SST anomalies (SSTA) were obtained by removing the seasonal signal, estimated as the leading mode of the CEOF decomposition of the original SST. Leading CEOF modes of residual SSTA obtained from both data sets were consistent with each other and were characterized by annual, semiannual, and quasi-biennial time scales estimated with 95% statistical significance. The Semiannual Mode lagged 2 months behind the increased occurrence of the anticyclonic (AC) wind stress curl over the JES. Links to dynamic processes were investigated by numerical simulations using an oceanic model. The suggested dynamic forcings of SSTA are the inflow of subtropical water into the JES through the Korea Strait, divergence in the surface layer induced by Ekman suction, meridional shifts of the Subarctic Front in the western JES, AC eddy formation, and wind-driven strengthening/weakening of large-scale currents. Events of west-east SSTA movement were identified in July-September. The SSTA moved from the northeastern JES towards the continental coast along the path of the westward branch of the Tsushima Current at a speed consistent with the advective scale.

Processes controlling the interannual variation of mixed layer temperature (MLT) averaged over the NINO3 domain ($150-90^{\circ}W$, $5^{\circ}N-5^{\circ}S$) are studied using an ocean data assimilation product that covers the period of 1993 to 2003. Advective tendencies are estimated here as the temperature fluxes through the domain's boundaries, with the boundary temperature referenced to the domain-averaged temperature to remove the dependence on temperature scale. The overall balance is such that surface heat flux opposes the MLT change but horizontal advection and subsurface processes assist the change. The zonal advective tendency is caused primarily by large-scale advection of warm-pool water through the western boundary of the domain. The meridional advective tendency is contributed mostly by Ekman current advecting large-scale temperature anomalies though the southern boundary of the domain. Unlike many previous studies, we explicitly evaluate the subsurface processes that consist of vertical mixing and entrainment. In particular, a rigorous method to estimate entrainment allows an exact budget closure. The vertical mixing across the mixed layer (ML) base has a contribution in phase with the MLT change. The entrainment tendency due to temporal change in ML depth is negligible comparing to other subsurface processes. The entrainment tendency by vertical advection across the ML base is dominated by large-scale changes in wind-driven upwelling and temperature of upwelling water. Tropical instability waves (TIWs) result in smaller-scale vertical advection that warms the domain during La Ni? cooling events. When the advective tendencies are evaluated by spatially averaging the conventional local advective tendencies of temperature, the apparent effects of currents with spatial scales smaller than the domain (such as TIWs) become very important as they redistribute heat within the NINO3 domain. However, such internal redistribution of heat does not represent external processes that control the domain-averaged MLT.
