마이크로네시아 코스레 주변해역의 해수순환 특성

Abstract

In this study we try to identify the mixing characteristics of Kosrae coastal waters to consider their physical properties using a field observation and a three-dimensional numerical modeling with FVCOM (Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model). A FVCOM and observed CTD data was used to predict the mixing behavior of Kosrae coastal waters. The elevation, current, temperature and salinity boundary conditions on the open boundary and thermal effluents at the specific boundary are considered in this study. And, multi-nested ocean circulation model was establish to understand and predict variability in the Kosrae coastal waters using FVCOM. These works illustrate the challenging nature of OTEC environmental studies.A FVCOM and observed CTD data was used to predict the mixing behavior of Kosrae coastal waters.
