해양재분석 자료는 관측 자료를 수치 모델에 동화함으로, 관측 자료의 시공간적인 제약을 극복하고 해양 변수 간 의 물리적 상호작용을 고려한 격자화된 고해상도 정보를 제공함으로써 해양순환 및 기후 연구에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존에 생산된 12년간(2011년부터 2 02 2년까지)의 북서태평양 지역해양 재분석 자료를 확장하여 30 년간(1993년부터 2 02 2년까지)의 1/24o 수평해상도를 갖는 장기 재분석 자료(K-ORA22E)를 생산하고, 이를 분석하여 한 반도 주변해역에서의 장기 해양기후변화를 진단하였다. K-ORA22E 데이터를 통해 한반도 주변 해역의 수온 상승 경향 을 분석한 결과, 쿠로시오 확장역에서 쿠로시오의 경로가 지난 30년 동안 1년에 약 6 km 씩 북상하였으며, 쿠로시오 경 로의 북쪽에서 수온 상승이 두드러졌다. 한반도 주변 해역 중에서는 동해에서 수온 상승이 가장 뚜렷했다. 특히, 동해에서는 표층보다는 중층에서 수온 상승이 두드러졌으며, 동한난류의 수온 상승률은 전 지구 평균보다 2 -3배 높았다. 황해저 층냉수가 출현하는 황해 중앙부에서는 장기적으로 수온이 상승하였으나, 한반도 서해안과 남해안에서는 수온이 오히려 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 이러한 수온의 장기변화의 공간적인 차이는 쿠로시오 해류의 북상에 따른 열수송의 경로와 밀접한 관련이 있을 것으로 보인다. 이 연구에서 구축된 K -ORA2 2 E와 같은 고해상도 지역 해양 재분석 자료는 한반도 주변 해역의 장기 변동성을 이해하고 기후 변화의 영향을 분석하는 데 중요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

To determine the relative efficiency and mesh selectivity of gill net for the Pacific saury, Cololabis saira, a series of fishing experiments was carried out in the Northwest Pacific Ocean from August 13 to October 13 in 2002, using gill nets of different mesh size(30, 33, 35, 37, 39 and 42mm) constructed from two kinds of twine material(monofilament, twisted multifilament nylon web). The relative efficiency of two material gears was expressed as the ratio obtained by dividing monofilament catch by multifilament catch in number. The master selection curve of each material gear was estimated by applying the extended Kitahara's method. The catch of experimental gears is mostly Pacific saury(98.6%), Cololabis saira. The kinds of bycatch are common squid(0.7%), Pacific mackerel(0.6%), etc. Catch comparisons in the two gears showed that monofilament nylon nets are 1.7 times more efficient. The optimum values in monofilament and multifilament gill net for Pacific saury are 8.28 and 8.23, respectively.

The saury stick - held dip net fishery of Korea in the Northwest Pacific Ocean began in 1985 with 3 vessels. Since then the fishery has grown so rapidly year by year that the number of vessels increased to 34 and the catch to 40 thousands Mff in 1993. In the present study, the monthly situation and the movement of the fishing ground for the pacific saury in the Northwest Pacific were investigated and the monthly optimum fIshing tempertures were estimated, from the relationship between the catch and the sea surface temperature. In the beginning of the fishing season, June to August, the fIshing ground is formed in the very wide range, mainly in the northward area of the front meandering, as the parcific saury migrate northward. In the main season, September to November, the ground is formed in the southward area of the front, off the east coast of Japan. Andd then, the fishing season ends in December with the ground coming near to the east coast of Japan. The monthly optimum fishing tempertures showed 11~13℃. in June to July, 13-17℃. in August to November, and 15~ 17℃. in December in general. The profIles of water temperature were much different in accordance by net casting position in the fishing ground, regardless of season. So, the MLD and CPUE was analyzed to find out the relation between the water temperature and the catch. Then, it is found that the CPUE shows over 0.7Mtr/haul as the MLD 40~70m.40~70m.

By use of the recent tropical cyclones' data in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the occurrence frequency and region of typhoon as well as the features of the monthly mean track were analyzed. As the result of this study, (1) mean occurrence frequency of typhoon per year is 27.5, and 68% of total typhoons were formed in July to October and shown the highest frequency in August. (2) The ave-rage duration of typhoons is 8.5 days, and super typhoon which maximum sustained surface wind speeds is more than 130 knots occurs most frequently in October and November. (3) The highest frequency ap-pears around the Caroline, Mariana and Marshall Islands, and in wintertime, typhoon occurs in lower lati-tude comparing with those in summertime. (4) The typhoon track depends upon the distribution of pres-sure system and steering current in neighbouring areas. The mean track of typhoon can be classified into three types such as westward-moving type, northward-moving type and abnormally moving type. The west-ward-moving typhoons make landfall on the southern China by way of the South China Sea in June and July, on mid-part of China in August and September, and on Indo-china Peninsula in October and Novem-ber. The northward-moving typhoons approximately move on north~northwestward track to 20~30˚N from the occurrence region, then recurve to the East Sea through Korean Peninsula and Kyushu Island in June and July, to the Noth Pacific Ocean along the Japanese Islands in August and September and to the North Pacific Ocean through the seas far south off the Japan in October and November.
