우리나라 南西海岸의 海陸風 探究

A study on the sea and land breeze of south-western coast in Korea - Centering around the city of Mokpo and Seochon -

Geographically, Three sides of Korea are surrounded by the sea(that is, the Korean Peninsular). Accordingly, the environment of our country has been greatly affected by the sea. For this study and taking an observation with AWS. I’ve selected the Mokpo city to which Taebul industrial complex is adjacent and Seochon, the central part of the western coast to which Asan industrial complex is adjacent. I’ve utilized the data on the Mokpo city which were supplied by the Mokpo observatory. I’ve confirmed the change of the direction and the speed of the breeze of two areas(Mokpo and Seochon) through classifying all the data of the annual breeze into a daily unit, a monthly unit and a seasonal unit. As a result, there was a more vivid sea and land breeze character in Seochon area than in Mokpo area. And an average speed of breeze of Mokpo was greater than that of Seochon area. It can be inferred that the more speedy breeze in Mokpo area is due to the Mokpo’s geographical location. In the frequency of breeze direction, NNW direction which occupied 27% of the whole was prevailing and in the frequency of breeze speed, the range of 0.3~3.3㎧ appeared frequently, and it showed 48.9%. According to rarity analysis on the relations between breeze direction and breeze speed, a correlation coefficient was 0.56~0.91 and through it. I could figure out correlation of breeze direction and breeze speed. But it is matter of regret that this study has a statistical analytic basis mainly, so, from now on, I intend to do profound research on factors which cause the change of sea and land breeze and I’d like to develop them to be processed as environmental factors.
