Spatial Pattern Analysis on the Seawater Temperature Using Weighted Mean Center

Abstract

To analyze the spatial variation pattern of seawater temperature, study area is devided into two regions with western and eastern regions around Jeju island. For the spatial variation pattern analysis of seawater temperature, weighted mean center (WMC) and standard deviational ellipse (SDE) were applied. According to the results, the SDEs for WMC of seawater temperature were different each other in two regions. Therefore, it is needed to consider the regional scale to analyze the spatial variation pattern of seawater temperature.
