남해안의 연안전선 형성에 영향을 주는 조류와 취송류, 그리고 밀도류의 분포를 파악하기 위하여 3차원유동모델 (POM; Princeton Ocean Model)을 이용하여 수치실험 하였다. 조석 잔차류의 유향을 보면 거제도 및 남해도 먼 바다에서는 남향 류가 우세하였고, 전라남도 먼 바다에서는 서향류가 우세하게 나타났으며, 밀도류는 남해안의 대표적인 해류인 쓰시마 난류를 잘 재현하였다. 또한, 취송류의 흐름도 일반적인 흐름과 유사하게 잘 재현되었다. 외양역에서는 밀도류의 영향이 강하며, 해안부 근에서는 취송류와 조석잔차류의 영향이 전체잔차류에서 반영되었다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 남해안에서의 물질 이동·확산을 예 측하기 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

We calculated the residual current forced by buoyancy, wind stress, and tidal stress in the Chinhae Bay using a three-dimensional diagnostic model. The calculated current was also compared with the observation. The flow directs outward from the central area of the Bay in the upper layer, and also forms eddy-shape stucture in the upper and middle layers. The flow of bottom layer shows an opposite pattern compared to those of top and middle layers. The maximum speed was 6.05 em/see (September) and 3.49 cm/sec (November) in the upper layer, and 4.39 cm/sec on both month in the middle layer. The Kinetic energy of November (8.39xlO' W) was larger than that of September (1.24xlO 'W), mainly resulting from larger buoyancy effect in September. In spite of the roughness of the grid size(1 km) and wind date, the calculated flow shows eorrelation(r=0.71) with the observation. We expect that the correlation be increased by increased by adopting the fine grid and the variable coefficients of diffusion and viscosity.

The characteristics of circulation in the coastal area of Jeju Harbor in Korea was examined using the Princeton Ocean Model(POM) with a sigma coordinate system. The result of numerical analysis well corresponded to the observed current data. The velocity at offshore was stronger compared to coastal area during the both period of in maximum flood and maximum ebb of spring tide. According to mean wind velocity, the tidal velocity at the shallow area of Jocheon was slightly increasing during maximum ebb. The effect of wind on the circulation was stronger in shallow area and showed rapid change with depth.
