Analysis of ocenaographic characteristics with waters
East Sea polar front, cold pool
West Sea Temperature inversion, tidal front
South Sea Coastal front
East China Sea Changjang diluted water path

Data service

Publication of news bulletin, weekly report, newsletter, annual report on the oceanographic conditions in Korean waters and East China Sea

Service of raw data

Data 1961~present, 6 times/yr (4 times/yr, East China Sea)
Items water temperature, air temperature, disslved oxygen, nutrients, plankton

Expected effects

01 Improvement of inshore fishery production through the service of general oceanographic data on the major fishing ground in Korea Waters
02 Utilization of fundamental data for the prediction of variation in the fisheries resources according to climate change
03 Contribution of value added (fishery, conservation of marine environment, marine leisure etc.) creation through the production and sevice of preiodical and systematical oceanographic data in the Korea waters
