Abstract

The NEMURO model is aimed to efficiently understand the interaction among factors of lower trophic level of a marine ecosystem, using data on solar radiation and sea water temperature. In this study, we analyzed the seasonal pattern of nutrients and planktons, and estimated productivity and biomass of planktons from 2002 to 2005. Nutrients($NO_3$, $NH_4$, and $Si(OH)_4$) which were used by phytoplankton showed a high concentration before the bloom of phytoplankton. Nutrients (DON, PON, and Opal) which were a byproduct of phytoplankton showed a high concentration in the same period as the bloom of phytoplankton. Both phytoplankton and zooplankton had two peaks in March and August. Estimated phytoplankton biomass from the NEMURO model showed a similar pattern with observed chlorophyll a concentrations. Biomasses of phytoplankton were bigger than those of zooplankton. Annual mean biomasses of small and large phytoplankton were estimated at 30.961 and $14.070\;{\mu}g\;l^{-1}$ respectively. Annual mean biomass of predatory zooplankton was greater than those of small and large zooplankton.

NEMURO 모델은 태양복사에너지와 표층수온자료를 사용하여 해양의 하위영양단계의 인자들 사이의 상호작용을 효과적으로 이해하기 위하여 개발된 모델이다. 본 연구에서 영양염과 플랑크톤의 계절적 변동을 분석하였으며, 2002년부터 2005년 사이의 플랑크톤 생산량과 생체량을 추정하였다. 모델 내에서 식물플랑크톤이 직접적으로 이용하는 영양염인 $NO_3$, $NH_4$ 및 $Si(OH)_4$는 식물플랑크톤의 대번식시기 이전에 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 플랑크톤의 사망이나 배설에 의해 재생되는 영양염인 DON, PON 및 Opal은 플랑크톤의 대번식시기와 동시에 높은 농도를 나타내었다. NEMURO 모델에서 추정된 식물과 동물플랑크톤은 3월과 8월에 높은 생체량을 보인다. 이는 모델이 적용된 지역에서 관측된 chlorophyll a와 유사한 형태를 나타내었다. 식물플랑크톤의 생체량은 동물플랑크톤보다 더 컸으며, 포식형 동물플랑크톤의 연평균 생체량은 소형과 대형 동물플랑크톤보다 크게 나타내었다.
