Abstract

Subtidal surface currents are derived from HF radar measurements in the Saemangeum coastal ocean of the Yellow sea in July 2002 and from September to November 2004. The surface current field is analyzed to examine the effect of wind, river plume and coastline change on the spatial distribution and temporal variation of the surface currents. In July 2002, average wind speed was 0.5 m/s and freshwater discharge from the Keum River was $0.88{\times}10^7\;ton/day$. Temporal mean currents ($\overline{U}$) flow to the northwest with speed of $7{\sim}10\;cm/s$ near the Keum River estuary, to the west as fast as 13 cm/s near the opening gap of the Saemangeum $4^{th}$ dyke, and to the northwest off the Gogunsan-archipelago. This flow pattern is a result of the Keum River plume dispersal and tide-residual currents from the opening gap of the Saemangeum $4^{th}$ dyke. Time series of spatially-averaged current (<$U-\overline{U}$>) direction is highly (r=0.98) correlated with wind direction. From September to November 2004, the opening gap of the Saemangeum $4^{th}$ dyke was closed, northwesterly wind blew with speed of 2.5 m/s on average and the Keum River discharge was $1.19{\times}10^7\;ton/day$. Temporal mean current field ($\overline{U}$) has weak surface flow in most of the coastal ocean and relatively strong currents flow to the southwest with speed of 10 cm/s along the shape coastline of the Gogunsan-archipelago and the Saemangeum $4^{th}$ dyke. The strong flow is generated by the prevailing northwesterly wind which pushes the Keum River plume toward the Saemangeum $4^{th}$ dyke. The residual currents from the opening gap of the Saemangeum $4^{th}$ dyke disappeared and correlation coefficient between time series of spatially-averaged current () direction and the wind direction is 0.69.

서해 중부에 위치한 새만금 연안역에서 HF radar를 이용하여 2002년 7월과 2004년 9월부터 11월 초까지 표층해류를 관측하였다. 관측 자료로부터 조하주기대(subtidal) 표층해류가 해안선 변화, 바람과 담수 방류량의 변화에 대하여 시 공간적으로 어떻게 변동하는지 조사하였다. 2002년 7월 관측 기간 동안 바람이 약 0.5 m/s로 불었으며, 일 평균 금강 담수 방류량이 $0.88{\times}10^7$ 톤이었다. 시간평균된 표층해류($\overline{U}$)는 금강하구입구에서 $7{\sim}10\;cm/s$의 크기로 북서쪽으로, 방조제 개방구간에서 13 cm/s 이상의 크기를 갖고 서쪽으로, 고군산군도 북측에서는 북서방향의 분포를 보였다. 이는 금강 담수와 새만금 방조제 개방구간에서 유출된 조석 잔차류에 의해 형성된 흐름이다. 또한 를 제거한 표층해류의 공간평균치(<$U-\overline{U}$>)의 방향변화가 바람방향변화와 상대적으로 높은 상관관계(r=0.98)를 보였다. 2004년 9월부터 11월에는 북북서풍이 2.5 m/s로 불었으며, 일평균 담수 방류량이 $11.9{\times}10^7$ 톤이었다. 표층해류($\overline{U}$)는 대부분의 연안에서 크기가 작았고, 새만금 방조제와 고군산군도가 이루는 해안선을 따라서 약 10 cm/s의 상대적으로 빠른 해류가 남서방향으로 흘렀다. 이는 강한 북서풍이 금강 담수를 새만금 방조제 쪽으로 이동시켜 형성된 흐름이다. 2004년도에는 방조제 개방구간에서 유출되는 조석 잔차류가 없어졌으며, 공간평균()된 표층해류의 방향변화가 바람방향변화와 0.69의 상관관계를 보였다.
