SAR와 현장관측에 의한 황해 어청도 주변 해역에서의 내부파 특성

Abstract

Observations of internal waves in the southwest coastal waters of Korea have been made using a mooring measurement and satellite SAR together. From May 28 to May 30 in 2002, thermistor chains with RCM and ADCP mooring measurements were carried out at 10 kin west of Ocheong-Do, together with a CTD field sur-vey on the surrounding waters. Also, a SAR image was acquired on May 29 at 06:53. The data from the in-situ measurement show several internal wave packets passing through the mooring point and the SAR image reveals numbers of internal wave packets distributed around the point. Temporal and spatial characteristics of internal waves in the southwest coastal waters were analyzed using the data from mooring measurement, SAR image, and the K-dv equation. The internal waves are important phenomena in terms of physical oceanography and military as well as marine biology. They should be considered as one of important features in the southwest coastal waters in summer.

서해 중부 연안에서의 내부파 관측을 위하여 현장 관측과 인공위성의 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar)센서를 이용한 관측을 함께 수행하였다. 2002년 5월 28일부터 30일까지 어청도 서쪽 10 km해상에서 thermistor chain, RCM 및 ADCP 유속계를 계류하여 관측하였으며 주변해역에 대한 CTD 관측도 수행하였다. 또한 29일 오전 6시 53분 SAR 영상을 획득하였다. 현장관측 결과 계류 지점을 통과하는 여러 개의 내부파가 관측되었고 SAR 영상에서도 관측지점 주변에서 다수의 내부파 군의 공간적인 분포를 확인할 수 있었다. SAR영상에서 관측된 내부파의 공간적인 특성과 현장 관측에서 계산된 시간적인 특성에 K-dv(Korteweg and de Vries)방정식을 적용하며 서해 중부 연안에서 발생한 내부파의 특성을 분석하였다. 이러한 내부파는 물리적으로, 군사적으로, 그리고 해양생물학적으로 매우 중요한 현상이며 서해의 중요한 여름철 특성으로 고려되어야 할 것이다.
