Abstract

In this study, to understand the factors influencing the flow change the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC), the correlation between the volume transport the TWC, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) was analyzed. A calculation of the monthly volume transport of TWC for 25 years (1993-2018) revealed that the seasonal fluctuation cycle was the largest in summer and smallest in winter. Power spectrum analysis to determine the periodicity of the TWC volume transport, Oceanic Niño Undex (ONI), and PDO indicated that the TWC volume transport peaked at a one year cycle, but ONI and PDO showed no clear cycle. Further, to understand the correlation between the TWC transport volume and ONI and PDO, the coherence estimation method was used for analysis. The coherence of ONI and PDO had a high mutual contribution in long-period fluctuations of three years or more but had low mutual contribution in short-period fluctuations within one year. However, the coherence value between the two factors of the TWC volume transport and PDO was 0.7 in the 0.8-1.2 year cycle, which had a high mutual contribution. Meanwhile, the TWC volume transport and PDO have an inverse correlation between period I (1993-2002) and period III (2010-2018). When the TWC maximum transport volume (2.2 Sv or more) was high, the PDO index showed a negative value below -1.0, and the PDO index showed a positive value when the TWC maximum transport volume was (below 2.2 Sv). Therefore, using long-term PDO index data, changes in the TWC transport volume and water temperature in the East Sea coastal area could be predicted.

본 연구에서는 대마난류(Tsushima Warm Current, TWC)의 유동 변화에 영향을 주는 요소를 파악하기 위하여 TWC의 수송량과 태평양 순년진동(Pacific Decadal Oscillation, PDO) 및 엘니뇨 남방진동(El Niño - Southern Oscillation, ENSO)의 상호 관계 분석을 실시하였다. 25년(1993~2018년) 동안의 TWC의 월별 수송량을 계산해보면 하계에 가장 크고 동계에 가장 작게 나타나는 계절변동 주기가 뚜렷하다. TWC 수송량과 PDO 및 ENSO의 한 척도인 Oceanic Niño Index(ONI) 각각의 주기성 파악을 위한 power spectrum 분석결과, TWC 수송량은 1년 주기에서 peak를 보이지만 PDO 및 ONI는 뚜렷한 주기가 나타나지 않았다. 또한, TWC 수송량과 PDO 및 ONI의 상호 관계 파악을 위해 coherence 추정 방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. PDO 및 ONI의 coherence는 3년 이상의 장주기 변동에서 상호 기여도가 높으나 1년 이내의 단주기 변동에서는 상호 기여도가 낮다. 그러나 TWC 수송량과 PDO 두 요소 간 0.8~1.2년 주기에서 coherence 값은 0.7로 상호 기여도가 높다. 한편 서수도를 통과하는 TWC 수송량과 PDO는 I기간(1993~2002년)과 III기간(2010~2018년)에 역상관 관계성을 가진다. TWC 최대 수송량 (2.2 Sv 이상)이 높게 나타나는 시기에 PDO 지수가 -1.0 이하의 음의 값, 2.2 Sv 이하로 작은 시기에 PDO 지수가 양의 값을 나타낸다. 따라서 장기적인 PDO 지수 자료를 이용하면 TWC 수송량 변동 및 동해 연안역의 수온변화를 예측 또한 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
