GPS-Drifter를 이용한 연안 해수면 해류 관측 II: 와류특성 추정

Abstract

Even though the fine variation of the sea surface current is important in terms of air-sea interaction and turbulent mixing in the sea surface, it is still hard to measure the sea surface current just in the sea surface. in this study we tried to use a small GPS-mounted surface drifter adn carried out two experiments at the river mouth of Nackdong River and Kwangannri Beach, Pusan, Korea, on Sept. 30, DEc. 6, 2009, respectively. The atmospheric condition during the both experiments was closely calm and it looked no big surface waves.
